Chapter 157 – Episode 90 – Surprise Announcement

*All characters appearing are adults.

“… This concludes your speech.”

Lillia’s speech was relatively short.

“I wish you well in the future.”

The content of her speech was not very different from that of her mother, Emilia.

She trained to die to become a warrior herself.
But she was defeated by her sister Eris.
Shortly after her defeat, she was reformed by Eris’ sister.
She tried to resist, but it was all futile. She never had a chance to escape.
He must always be afraid that he himself will disappear.
He still tried to hold on. He believed that if he persevered, he would definitely have a chance.

But he didn’t come. Rather, he realized.

He knew that he was dead and that even if he woke up, he would not be able to defeat Eris.
Even if I killed Eris-sister, it would be impossible to save the human world and the celestial world.
That all the precious people had fallen and sided with the demons.
That it’s hard to overcome this hardship on your own.
It was better to find a way for humans to survive by standing on the side of the demons.
I realized that it is better to work hard so that humans can assimilate with the demons and enjoy a happy life.

Because she realized that, she came to regard Eris as her older sister, not her demon lord.
Her sincerity made her decide to follow her.
She suddenly began to love her sister, whom she hated so much.
I don’t know why.
However, it felt like something was off.
It felt as if the thread that was being pulled taut had broken.
It felt like the last bastion was collapsing.
Feeling that way, she decided to swear allegiance to her sister.

From now on, he will fight for her sister.
Anyone who rebels against her sister will be captured.
I will catch them all and give them enlightenment like myself.

Resistance is pointless.
I think it’s better to get along and obey Eris-sister.
That is the only path leading to peace.

Tried but failed.
Resisted but failed.
Desperate, I finally fell.
Because she was corrupted, she chose to obey.
Her daughter Lilia went through what her mother Emilia went through.
She ended up falling into madness.

“Please look forward to my performance in the future.”

Having met such an ending, Lilia was able to smile brightly.

– To say that her daughter followed the same path as her mother.

– Should I say this is fortunate? Are you so pitiful?

– To think that mothers and daughters fell amicably. I can’t help but laugh at this.

The demons couldn’t like it.
Emilia knew how she went from being a hero to becoming an empress, but she never thought that her daughter, Lilia, would end up in the same way.
It was really happy for the demons that the hero’s family stood on the side of the demon realm, but seeing the two mothers and daughters stained with madness, the demons felt skeptical about whether they could truly rejoice.

-Do not say that. You should be happy to help us, aren’t you?

-Since you’re a hero, you’re probably not as strong as the Demon King, right? We can reduce the sacrifice of our soldiers.

-These days, I’ve been having a headache because of the humans in the occupied area, but if the hero comes forward, everyone will lower their tails

On the other hand, there were demons who were genuinely happy.
I admit to feeling sorry for her mother and daughter, but that is that and this is this.
They say they help them, but wouldn’t it be rude to refuse?
Mainly those in the military welcomed the decision of the two mothers and daughters wholeheartedly.

-From Emilia to Lilia. Ah, what should we do now?

-Should I just convert to a demon like this? Even if you fight, it seems that there is nothing but dog death?

– Hey, can you take me to the inn? I’m afraid to look now.

The delegation’s reaction was the worst.
Everyone had faces full of despair.
It has to be natural.
Because the two heroic mother and daughter appeared as demons, not hope.
Having witnessed it myself, it was strange that I did not despair.

‘Everyone has different expressions.’

Lillia looked around the party.

There were demons who looked at him pitifully.
On the contrary, there were demons who were genuinely happy.

Mother and expedition belonged to the latter.
They wholeheartedly welcomed Lilia to stand on the side of her demon lord.
It was the same with Eris-sister.

‘The delegation people… I’ll understand even if you don’t tell me.’

On the other hand, the faces of the delegation were filled with despair.
The feeling of despair that hope is gone.
The same goes for Karis, the commander-in-chief of the knights, as well as Princess Bellion, who is next to Eris.
Anne, the teacher, was fine at least, but her face was shaded.
Anne certainly didn’t want her pupil, Lilia, to fall like this.

Seeing them like that made Lilia very sad, but

‘Sorry, I can’t go back.’

I had no intention of going back to their side.

‘I decided to work for her sister.’

Lilia had no intention of overturning her own decision.
Her body, mind, and soul had already been dedicated to Eris.
Because she sacrificed everything, Lilia has now become a demon.
It’s all over, how can I go back?

So, Lilia wanted to make a request to the delegation.

‘Please don’t be stubborn.’

It is clearly visible to anyone looking at it, but how long are you going to hold on to it?
Stand by her sister’s side like yourself.
Are you going to die like this?
Although unable to speak properly, Lilia wanted the entire delegation to be loyal to her sister Eris.

Because I don’t want to see him suffer like he did for meaningless resistance.

“Next, there will be greetings from the heads of the Dream Demons and Sirens, who have become the new representative races.”

After her own speech, Lilia introduced her new characters.

“This is Camilla, the leader of the Dream Demons, and Lorelai, the leader of the Sirens. I would like to ask you both to say something.”

The dream demons and sirens.
They were also persecuted by humans and angels, lost many of their compatriots, and were driven to the Demon Realm.
The two races wanted to take revenge, but they lacked the strength to do so.
There was nothing I could do but reminisce about the past and live a quiet life.

“This is Camilla, the leader of the Dream Demons.”

Demon King Leviathan reached out to those two races.
Leviathan, who believed that the power of the two races was necessary to conquer the human world, personally met the two leaders and proposed.

If you help me, I will give the dream demons a chance to take on humans to their heart’s content.
I will give the Sirens the right to rule the sea kingdom of Karti.
Both races will be given a place to be representative races.

Leviathan made a pact in exchange for his own life.
And according to the contract, the dream demons and the sirens actively participated in Leviathan’s war of conquest.
It was an offer too attractive to refuse.

“I’ll just say one word and I’ll be done. We wish you well in the future.”

The dream demons do not have a physical body.
It exists only in spirit form.
You have to take possession of someone else’s body to obtain a body.
If they don’t get a body, the dreamers disappear forever from this world without knowing who they are.

With such a fatal weakness, the dream demons were desperate to secure prisoners.
All the captives captured by the dream demons were robbed of their bodies.

The same goes for Camilla, who is standing now.
Her white skin, plentiful black hair down to her waist, and alluring red eyes.
This body originally did not belong to Camilla.
It is the body of a knight commander who fought against the dream demons and was defeated.
Camilla was able to stand here because her body was stolen.

“I am Lorelai, the leader of the Sirens.”

The Sirens were instructed by Leviathan to organize a great fleet.
At that time, the demons did not have a navy, so they had no means to attack the sea kingdom, Karti.

He instructed the Siren to make that means.
Because there is no other race that is as good at naval combat as the Sirens.
The Sirens, who received the necessary supplies and personnel from Leviathan, succeeded in building a large fleet over a long period of time.

Unfortunately, the launch of the Grand Fleet was postponed indefinitely due to the sudden death of Leviathan.
It was after Eris started the invasion of the human world that the Sirens’ great fleet was able to go out.

“I’ll just say one word and I’ll be done. I wish you well in the future.”

The Sirens’ Grand Fleet accomplished the feat of destroying the Karti Grand Fleet in the first battle.
As a result, Carti was put on the defensive and suffered the humiliation of losing most of the islands they controlled.
As long as there are no variables, it won’t take long for the Sirens to occupy the Karti Kingdom.

Lorelai, the chief of the Sirens who led the great fleet, bowed her head in greeting.
Purple hair waving to the waist and enchanting orange eyes captivated viewers for a moment.

“I heard you well. Then, we have a surprise announcement.”

And at the words Lillia uttered next, everyone’s eyes widened.

“Finally, her older sister Eris has chosen her own successor.”

Heir.
Upon hearing that, the demons began to murmur.

-Heir? Have you finally decided?

-As far as I know, the Demon King doesn’t have children. Who will be the successor?

-Isn’t it given to the warrior as rumored?

Who will be the successor?
Eris never mentioned her successor, leaving her with all sorts of speculation.
Among the countless speculations, the most powerful one was that the hero Lilia would be chosen as her successor.

-I want to make her brother my successor, but it’s not easy.

In fact, Eris often said that she wanted her brother to be her successor.
There was no one here who could be called her sister except Lilia.
Lilia is the only sister she loves.

So her successor is Lilia, everyone knew how to present it that way.

But what came out of Lilia’s mouth was an unexpected person.

“The successor is Junice.”

The demons in the hall were startled by the unexpected name.

●●●

‘Sister, I don’t want to be the successor.’

The day my heart was broken and I swore allegiance to Eris.
Lillia spoke her mind openly.

‘I can’t become a hero anymore, but I want to have an adventure. I don’t want to rule. Please make my last wish come true, will you?’

I will accept Eris as her older sister.
But she doesn’t want to become a demon king.
I want to freely roam the world and enjoy adventures.
Lilia begged not to ignore her last wish.

‘If you want to… Well, I can’t help it.’

Eris was conflicted for a moment, but decided to respect her sister’s idea.

‘I guess I have no choice but to change my plan.’

Let’s pay for getting Lilia.
Eris decided to drastically revise her original plan.
She decided to give Lilia one of each of her two things.

‘Won’t it be okay if it’s Princess Bellion and Junice?’

The chief who dominates the human realm and represents all humans at the same time.
And her successor who will succeed her own.
Eris decided to give one seat to each of the two people she thought of.

She entrusts Princess Bellion as the head representing all humans.
She is a princess who is ready to sacrifice herself for the sake of her people, so she will not be able to refuse this offer.

She also makes her main sister, Nice, her successor.
If she is an older sister who wants to become the next demon king, she will accept it unconditionally.

‘I have to grant her sister’s wish.’

If she is Junice, who is supported by the military and other demons, she will have no problem even if she dies.
Eris decided to tell all her demons about this through her Lilia.

However, one problem arose.

“What? Didn’t Junice come?”

She said that there is no one in the hall to be congratulated.

“Hey, Eris-sister. What should I do? Should I end it like this?”

Lilia didn’t know what to do in a situation she didn’t expect.

●●●

“Just finish it, Lilia. Anyway, I can’t come today.”

Junice was elsewhere.

“I prepared all the dresses…”

Junice is in Bunderry.
It is the boundary between the sage and human worlds.
There was a base where about a thousand demon soldiers were stationed in Bundeuri.
Junice is at the base,

All the soldiers at the base were annihilated.
Not a single one of them was torn to pieces.
The smell of blood and rotting corpses was everywhere.

“Why did I come here when I should be celebrated? .”

Junice looked up at the night sky with a dejected expression.
The uniform she was wearing was torn in places.
There were numerous knife wounds.
Fortunately, it was not fatal.
Leave it alone and it will recover on its own.

“If it wasn’t for you guys, I would have had enough to drink.”

Junice looked around with a look of annoyance.
All around her were burnt women strewn about.
It was so badly burned that it was hard to recognize who it was.

“Ugh…”
“How can a mere insignificant thing have such power…”
“Uh, we have to go back to the heavenly realm. I need to tell my mother…”

Surprisingly, they are still alive.
Not only was he alive, but his body was regenerating itself.
Crushed bones regenerated, burnt blood vessels were restored, and new flesh began to sprout.
It was returning to its original form as if time were turning back.

“I know roughly where you are from.”

The women scattered around Junice are the murderers.
The guys who slaughtered all the soldiers stationed in Bunderry.
Junis had no choice but to give up the banquet to subdue them.

And who they were, Junice knew right away.

“Ugh?”

Junice grabbed a woman by the neck with one hand and lifted her up.
He was the captain who led these women who attacked to get him.

“You’ve ruined my party so well, you’re prepared, right? Hey, God, Nim?”

Junice was smiling, but there were veins sprouting in the shape of a cross on his forehead.
