Veirya, whats the matter?
Nothing. Its just. That soone has entered, Veirya calmly responded from the door. She turned back to assure, Continue. Sleeping. Theres nothing. To worry about. There doesnt seem. To be many of them. There are. Only two. Angelina, alone, is enough.
I wasnt worried since it was highly improbable for there to be soone capable of defeating the mother and daughter pair. Having said that, I was curious as to who ca. Logically speaking, Id say human or elven warriors would be the strongest foes who would co to the castle. For instance, Veirya and Lucilia. Veirya was with . Lucilia was the Elven Queen, and the elves were unlikely to risk themselves, which begged the question: who were they? Sisi already killed a fair number of adventurers, so who could the next warrior be?
We caused the ss in the first place, after all. A group of people died for nothing as a consequence of Leahs prank. Itd be humiliating to have humanitys best soldiers die at the hands of other humans.
Finally, soone knocked on the door. Veirya opened up to see Ross, who quavered, Lord Lin, c-can I hide in your room? I Im scared.
Co on in, I replied.
Ross stole a gander of Veirya to see if she approved then fearfully scanned the room. Seeing him choose to sit down in a corner, I conveyed, Ross, havent I told you many tis that theres no need for you to be so fearful of ? I like you for the courage and loyalty you displayed this ti and last ti. Ross, youre my pupil, not my slave. Theres no reason for you to be afraid of .
Ross ears stood up following his excitent: Really? Really? Lord Lin Lord Lin I am glad that I was helpful to you I I respect you greatly, so, so
Thats not respect. I stroked Leahs head, while she was sound asleep
Angelina delivered Leah to my room when she sensed danger. I felt sorry for Leah when I saw her trace of tears, but I knew that I couldnt compromise.
I elaborated, From now on, dont be so nervous. You just need to be polite, and thats good enough. Ross, with your kindness and courage, Im sure youll beco an outstanding businessman everyone respects!
Tears welled up in Ross eyes. At the sa ti, Veirya drew her sword and notified, Theyre coming. And Angelina, is too.
Didnt Angelina stop them? I couldnt fathom Angelina losing; she was mightier than Veirya. If Angelina couldnt stop them, then Veiryas limits would also be pushed.
No. Angelina. Is together with them.
Veirya swung the door open, thereby giving Anna, who was on the other side of the door, a fright. Anna looked inside with a stupefied expression: Lord Veirya, Sir Lin, you really are all here! Leah, Ross, you two are here, as well! So, so, what exactly happened?! Wh-wh-Where is the Demon King?
Sleeping in my arms, was what I wanted to say. I couldnt decide if I should tell Anna about it or not. Ciara, who was behind Anna, was relieved to see us: You might really have so relationship with the Demon King. I heard that Veirya found you here to begin with. We never heard he kept a human with him. You actually survived despite being in his presence. Did you all slay him already?
Mm it might be complicated to explain, but Ill explain it to you.
Regardless of what the case was, Anna and Ciara werent outsiders and, therefore, could be trusted. Angelina gave them a helpless smile: I never expected it to be these two. By the way, if youre here, whos taking care of the town and Elven Queen?
With Ascillia there, it should be fine. The demons didnt attack us. Moreover, the guards at the town can protect it, explained Anna. Sir Lin, are you injured? Are we taking him back now or letting him recuperate first?
Is it. Dangerous outside? Veirya inquired.
Not particularly. There are no demons in the forest. The demons outside are essentially stragglers. The majority of them are gathered at the city. However, no more are being spawned. Before we ca, demons kept crossed the outer periter of the town. It seems to be over now, fortunately. You must have defeated the Demon King, right? We did not see his corpse.
Leah was already defeated by Veirya at that point I said to myself.
Veirya clarified, It wasnt. The Demon King. It was actually. Leahs prank.
I nodded to validate.
After a couple of blinks, Anna queried, What prank? Are we talking about the sa thing? Should we not be more worried about the Demon King than Leahs prank? Did you see what exactly happened here?
It was Leahs work, I answered, caressing Leahs head. To tell the truth, the Demon King was Leah. Having said that, Leah isnt deliberately trying to destroy the world, exact revenge or whatever. It was just her prank, one that happened to go too far. I hope you keep this a secret. We should resolve family matters within the family, after all. I dont want others to attack her, either. I dont bla her. I know Im being extrely selfish, but I was never associated with magnanimity.
