“Are you satisfied with my answers, princess?” Sli asked Sera that is holding her chin as she thinking about sothing.
“Yes, I never thought you’ll answer all of my questions that easily… I heard Alfred asked you so of the questions I asked before, why change your mind now?” Sera asked back.
(She decided to stop pretending that she didn’t know that incident, huh…) (Sli)
“Hm… You could say that I just change my mind?” Sli answered with a shrug.
“The real reason is?” (Sera)
“It’s not the right ti to give you the information yet, you’ve gotten rather good at this, aren’t you, princess?” Sli praises Sera.
It’s a lie.
Sera asked more questions than Alfred, but all of Alfred’s questions are included inside her questions. The difference between Sli’s answer towards Alfred and his answer towards Sera is he just gives so new information to her while convincing her that the information is valuable by manipulating his way of talking.
Her questions are too common. If she asks more specific questions like how big the Tarot’s military power or does Tarot has any secret military weapon, then even if Sli will not answer it honestly, she will still get far more valuable information than what she just get.
The answers that Sli gave her, are so things that sooner or later will be known widely by the world.
“We’ve been talking for two hours, already. I’m forced to follow your pace. First of all, I apologize for making you co all the way here, Mr. Sli. Moreover, I even take two hours of your ti,” (Sera)
“It’s fine. It’s not that often for soone to be able to eat breakfast together with the famous beautiful princess of Grandaria kingdom, am I right?” (Sli)
“You’re flattering …” Sera answered indifferently. Or she tried to answered indifferently while a hint of redness still appeared at her cheek.
“By the way, Mr. Sli. If I may, can I ask you one last question?” (Sera)
Sera asked this not only to change the topic, but she’s also thought about this question before, but sohow she got too absorbed by questioning about the Tarot empire itself.
“You, I an, the Tarot empire. Are you afraid of the demons? No, have you prepared for the prophecy?” (Sera)
There is a couple of reasons why Sera asked this question. But the first reason is to see what kind of reaction the man in front of her, the man who is very sharp and intelligent than any nobles or rulers she had t. And the man that gives off a similar aura like the man she adores before. Especially as he is a man who ca from a very powerful empire. She wants to know what the man thinks about the prophecy that so of the people said as gibberish and nonsense.
But it turns out, that her question gives a much more powerful reaction than she imagined.
Sli’s smile and aloof expression disappeared, leaving a terrifying serious face that he never showed before. Sera couldn’t sense people’s emotions as much as Sli, but she could still sense a hint of anger, fear, and resolution from him.
“We’re the one who is afraid the most. Since we’re the ones who got attacked and lose our family earlier than the others. While the world is leisurely having fun and fighting against each other, we strive to get stronger to protect our family. Far before the prophecy appear, we’ve known that they will attack again,” (Sli)
Staring at the distance, Sera saw Sli’s eyes slowly flew away from the dining room.
“Even now… We’re still trying our best…” (Sli)

“My king, we’ve successfully connected the hell gate connected to the one in my domain,” Paimon said as she kneels in front of Demon Oz.
“Marvelous! Good job as always!” Demon Oz praised his demonic generals.
“We managed to succeed because of your overwhelming amount of mana, my king. We did nothing…” (Paimon)
“You’re too humble, Paimon. I don’t dislike that, but I do believe that rewarding soone when he did great is sothing a ruler need to do, you guys can tell what you want later,” (Demon Oz)
“””Thank you for your kindness, my king,””” (Lucifer, Beelzebub, Adralech, and Paimon.
“My king, I have a question,” (Lucifer)
“What is it, Lucifer?” (Demon Oz)
“We managed to connect the hell’s gate with the Paimon domain’s hell’s gate, but we succeeded in that because of your enormous amount of mana. But won’t it be dangerous to go there now, my king? We connected with Paimon’s hell’s gate after scanning through the demon world with the help of your mana, they’ll be wary of us and it might be dangerous for you, my king…” (Lucifer)
“It’s fine, Lucifer. I understand your worry, but that matter is already handled by Sli, Gurolf, and Gareth,” (Demon Oz)
“Master Sli, Grandmaster of magic, sir Gurolf, and the royal king of undead, sir Gareth?” (Beelzebub)
“Yeah… Gurolf also went to open several gates towards the hell’s gate. Since they attacked us first, it’s obvious for us to retaliate, right? It’s fine, Lucifer. They’ll be too busy to care about us going to Paimon’s territory right now since they’re under currently under a dangerous threat…” Demon Oz stares towards the distance with an evil smirk.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!???????
“My king! A terrifying aura enough to rival you suddenly appeared out of nowhere!!??” The royal guard of the 1st ranked demon king, Baal, ca towards him with a panicked face.
“Hm?” Baal slightly raised his right eyebrow.
When the royal guard saw his king’s face, he realized that he just made a huge mistake. He said the forbidden words that should never be used when anyone near his king.
The one who may surpass or rival the king’s strength is the demon emperor only!!!
“I-I-I an a-a-a terrifying aura suddenly appeared out of nowhere, M-m-my king! B-b-but, of course!! You’re the strongest!!” The royal guard got even more panic.
“Hmph! I’ve sensed it too… Indeed, the amount of mana it emits is praiseworthy, go investigate-” Right when the demon king, Baal, is about to issue the command of finding the owner or the source of the terrifying aura, a strange phenonon occurred.
Crack!!!
A crack appeared from the thin air in front of Baal’s throne, as if the dinsion got ripped. Staying still because of the shock, Baal saw the dinsional rift slowly opened.
(A person?) (Baal)
Baal saw a figure appear from behind of the dinsional rift, his appearance resembles a human, his hair is long and white, despite his hair’s color, he looks young while his eyes filled with deep wisdom.
But one characteristic of his skin’s color made Baal rembered one race of demi-human.
It’s green.
(A goblin?) (Baal)
Baal calmly collects his thoughts while preparing for battle.
“Who are you?” Baal’s deep voice that carries an enormous amount of demonic mana asked the figure.
“Hm… A throne, a demon with a crown, and a castle, huh…” His way of talking resembles the magician from the old era, and he didn’t seem to be bothered by Baal’s presence.
(He didn’t even flinch when he heard my voice…) (Baal)
“I am the 1st ranked great demon king of the demon realm, Baal! State your na, goblin!!!” Baal shouted as he musters all of his mana aura.
“Hm… What a splendid amount of mana. Ah, please forgive my rudeness, I am Gurolf, the grandmaster of the tower of magic of the great Tarot empire that rules the magical forest of Everdeen. Nice to et you, demon,” Gurolf introduced himself as he bows his head a little towards Baal as a sign of courtesy.
But different from the smiling Gurolf, Baal’s eyes suddenly got widened when he heard that the one who opened the rift is from the empire that rules the great magical forest of Everdeen. Baal first considered that the one who appears in front of him might be one of the demon kings that wanted to report him about the infiltration of the human world, but it turns out that his enemy is the one who opened it.
Baal knew about their infiltration to the great magical forest of Everdeen that keeps on failing, and the report did ntion that an empire had found at the magical forest of Everdeen. They’re the enemies that had hindered his plans several tis and had made the demons failed to infiltrate the human world.
(But how? They need a gate that could connect between dinsions! Did they stole it from one of the demon kings?) (Baal)
“For you to go all your way here, you’re digging your own grave!!!” (Baal)
