Chapter 111 – #110 Duke of Demon World

In the Kshanberg Empire, the power of the Church of Light is powerful.

This is because it is a very old religion and usually does a lot of good things.

Since most of them were services for the underprivileged, approximately 90% of the common people could be said to believe in Eos, the god of light.

However, it is not enough to hinder the emperor.

The problem is that unless you are the emperor or his wife, you cannot ignore their inspection.

In other words, even the princess cannot avoid inspection.

“Reina. It’s going to take a long time, so let’s go to the capital first. I have some business to do around here, so I’m sorry, but I’ll leave first.”

As she had already spent three hours with all three women, the princess quickly expressed her disappointment as she had no reason to hold on to her.
I was given 7 free hours to be on the last turn, but it seemed like I thought the opportunity would be lost.

“Anyway, if this fact gets out, everyone, including Bella and Linnell, will come in here without even looking at them, right? So don’t be too sad.”

Only then did the regret fade from the princess’s face.

She thought it was a good reason and was persuaded.

“I understand. Then have a nice trip.”

“Yes. I love you, Raina!”

“Me too… Side.”

When I got off the carriage, I saw a long line stretching from where I was to the castle gate, just as I had been told.

Perhaps because the road is winding, it looks like a snake with its body hanging down.

Wow… It’s spectacular.

This may be the first time in my life that I have seen the capital being pushed back like this.

While I was admiring this, Tanya noticed me and approached me.

She looked to her left and right and whispered to me.

“Kale, where are you going?”

“Ah, now that it’s like this, I have something to see nearby, and I’m going back.”

“I see.”

Tanya lowered her head, covered her face with her hand, and winked at me.
That expression was quite erotic, and for a moment my lower abdomen felt tense.

Calm down, son. Even if I set it up now, I can’t do it with Tanya.

But she was a woman who caught that brief moment and smiled slightly.
It whispers in my ear.

“Please stop by my house before the end of this vacation.”

“Is that okay?”

“Of course!”

That’s good.

I still wanted to have more fun with Tanya.

Isn’t your face too beautiful to just enjoy one night?

– My chest is small…

Other than that, everything is great.

Anyway, I nodded my head in approval.

“Then, please contact me when you have time. I will be waiting while wiping below.”

“You don’t have to do that. I’ll clean it with my mouth♥”

Oh my. After all, a married woman is a married woman.

Very straightforward.

If we continue talking, things will be completely destroyed.

“Then I’ll just leave.”

“Okay. See you later~”

I received Aria from Tanya and quickly left the place.

I heard Bella’s yelling in the middle, so I turned around and saw Rayna blocking her from chasing me.

Well… In some ways, they are two people who get along quite well.

By the way.

“It’s been a while since we’re alone?”

Meow!

A pleasant crying sound tickles my ears.

I have to play with Arirang too.

These days, as there are more women to deal with, there are naturally fewer points of contact.

“I’m sorry. I don’t hang out with you often. Shall we hang out together tonight?”

Meow~!!

I’m crying so happily that I feel like I need to hang out with him not just today, but for the rest of the vacation period.

I stroked Ari’s purring head and moved around as if he was running or flying for about 30 minutes.

An old but sturdy castle wall.

I circle along the outskirts of that place that rises high into the sky like a cliff.

As soon as you find a suitable spot, use invisibility + flight magic to quietly climb over the castle wall.

– Oh, oh. I was worried about what to do since I was being inspected, but it turned out to be easier than I thought.

‘The capital of the empire is quite large.’

No matter how much you increase the number of soldiers patrolling the castle walls, loopholes are bound to arise.

However, it is literally impossible to allocate high-quality wizards, priests, and paladins.

Moreover, I have climbed the capital’s walls so many times that I already know all the magic detection locations…

‘You can do it with your eyes closed. A castle wall like this.’

A panoramic view of the capital unfolds before your eyes.

I scanned everywhere quickly.

I can see paladins wandering around the capital.

They must be wandering around here and there looking for demons.

‘It’s quite a pain in the ass.’

– Hmm… I mean.

‘Still, it won’t get caught unless your body hits it directly, right?’

– Huh. Honestly, I signed a contract with you, but what do I need to do? We can just live our lives as usual, but don’t get involved with white-faced idiots. Don’t worry.

‘Then I guess I’ll just have to be careful after school starts.’

If we don’t find any clues by then, we’ll be suspicious of the students.

The altitude gradually decreases again.

Get down on the floor.

A dark alley welcomes me.

Shacks and crumbling buildings. A place full of dirt and trash, making it difficult to even step foot in.

I walked steadily into the alley there.

– Ugh. But don’t you clean this place? Why does it seem worse than the Noble Street area?

‘It tends to be like that the farther you get from the center.’

Of course, it was well managed 20 years ago… But these days, the country is really in a mess.

If water management is like this, what is it like in other places?

We need to make Raina the emperor quickly.

Now that we’ve decided, as soon as school starts, let’s start a full-fledged conflict between the 1st and 2nd princes.

I keep making fun of my steps.

As we move forward little by little, the road begins to become clearer.

It was a time when I was walking through the alleys for a while.

“Ugh. Ugh…”

A faint moan was heard.

Just by looking at it, it sounds like someone’s life is being threatened.

“Please save me…”

“Kick. You don’t mean it, do you? You really think I’m going to save you?”

“Please…”

“Just beg for me to kill you comfortably, you idiot. I will gladly do so.”

What kind of guy with a big liver is this in broad daylight?

Even if it’s a back alley, you wouldn’t know it in normal times, but you’d want to kill someone at a time when paladins are roaming around the city.

Out of sudden curiosity and with nothing else to do, I added soundproofing magic to the invisibility magic and carefully moved to the source of the sound.

Little by little, their voices become closer.

I quietly turned the corner and stared ahead.

I see two people.

One was so scared that his legs couldn’t move, and he was crawling on the floor with his hands covered in urine.
The other person was approaching the man thoughtfully, as if enjoying his expression.

And around them, there were five bodies lying around that seemed to have been sacrificed first…

‘Huh…?’

I couldn’t believe my eyes.

Because a familiar face was captured.

Small body. A child with pure white hair that seems to have fallen during the winter and red eyes like rubies.

– Uh? Isn’t that him? The boy you mistook for a boy. What was that name… Phew, Freyr!

Freire Rhone Ice Crown.

Heir to the throne of the Icecrown Kingdom located in the northern part of the empire.

When he lived as Aslan, he felt sorry for being taken hostage to this country, so he hung out with him a few times, but soon gave the nobles an excuse. The reason why he was falsely accused of having an affair with an enemy country.

She was approaching the man step by step with a creepy face that I had never seen before.

“Please, please save me. Please just save my life…!”

“Ha… Don’t worry. The moment of death is only a moment. I’m not a pervert who enjoys other people’s pain, so I’ll end it soon. By the way, I’m really looking forward to it. How hot your blood will be…!”

– The condition is a bit strange. Isn’t this the kid I used to know?

I’m not sure, but it might be so.

Maybe they just look the same.

The reason why is that Freyr can hear Veres’ voice.

However, even though Perez was clearly speaking loudly, she was completely unaware of it.

She acted like a completely different person and looked like a murderer, so I decided to subdue her and interrogate her.

One step closer to that…

Shocking.

A guy who suddenly turns to the side.

He suddenly frowns and disappears in an instant.

And at that moment, a small curse rang in her head.

– Fuck…

‘Huh…?’

No… Beres, who is always cheerful and lively, suddenly starts swearing?

I was so shocked by the behavior of my partner, whom I had never seen before, that I even forgot to chase after Freyr.

And then, a figure appeared where Freyr was standing just a moment ago.

A middle-aged man dressed in a black tuxedo from head to toe.
A person with golden hair and red eyes, wearing a monocle on one side.

He turned his head and looked directly at me.

“Who are you?”

“Live, live…”

The man’s head explodes as he crawls on the floor in relief.

The middle-aged man who hit the man on the head with a magic bullet approached me, adjusting his monocle once.

As if he would do the same to me if I didn’t answer.

I dismantled the magic and greeted him.

Because he was a person I knew well.

“Greetings, Sir Kael’thas Crareth. My name is Kale Cranberry.”

“Cranberries… Cranberries… That family that went from commoners to barons?”

“Yes.”

“Oh, I remember. That black hair and black eyes. The first head of the family was like that too. He was a really cool guy.”

He waved his hand once.
As a result, the corpses lying on the floor were consumed by the shadows and completely disappeared.

“W-what…”

Just now it was Magi…?

“Why are we so surprised again? Ah! Looks like Perez hasn’t introduced me yet.”

What? Perez?

When he saw my surprised expression, he smiled and spread his arms wide.
In that state, he bowed gracefully and greeted me.

“Let me formally introduce myself. I am Felhound, the first duke of the Demon World.”

This is crazy…!

The moment I heard his words, I couldn’t help but gape.

According to historical records, although there is a demon king, the five dukes under him actually rule the demon world.

Even their individual strength is comparable to that of a 5,000-year-old adult dragon.

It meant that the good and smiling man in front of me was actually a monster among monsters who could turn this capital into ashes with his will.

Why is such a big man still in the empire?

However, such doubts were quickly dispelled by the next words.

“It is truly an honor to meet you, who has signed a contract with Beres, the tomboy of the Demon World and the 4th Duke.”

… What? Beres is the Duke of the Demon World…?

Hey, isn’t it?

I can hear my co-worker grumbling quietly.

– Sheesh. All the good times have passed.
