Chapter 189 – Chapter 17 – Arrival at Demon Castle
“That sleep… I must have seen it somewhere.”
I thought it was a face I had seen a lot somewhere, but when I thought about it, it was a demon cadet I saw at the academy.
A very quiet, quiet male demon student who was silently concentrating on the lecture.
Yulia asked if the author had informed him of Heetari’s betrayal.
At that, Klaus shook his head as if that wasn’t the case, then turned his head to the male demon.
No, I was looking at a female demon disguised as a male demon.
“Lir. Please formally greet His Highness the Demon King.”
“Yes Yes. Klaus.”
When I untied my hair, which was tied back, the appropriate length of hair fell down.
Her face and clothes, which had been slightly altered to look like her manhood, were roughly disturbed, and it was finally revealed that she was actually a woman.
“What… Didn’t you say that the academy was a male demon from an aristocratic family?”
“It was camouflage. To fool the academy, fool the people in it, and fool you.”
“You said it was to trick me?”
“Lir. Speak with your mouth He came to the academy under someone’s orders and with a certain purpose, what he did and what happened after that.”
Then, Lire looked at Klaus with a frightened face.
In front of Julia, the person involved, tell her who you are and everything you have done.
She did that, and she knew that if she bought the devil’s wrath, she would die unconditionally.
I was afraid of dying, but more than that, I was even more afraid of the harm that would be done to my younger brother if it became known that I had betrayed him.
Klaus shook her head a little at Lire’s worries, and his cold eyes flashed.
Don’t think about it, just do what I tell you to do.
If you think otherwise, I will kill you even if the devil saves you.
The feeling was conveyed as it was, so Lire held her heart and carefully opened her mouth.
“I-I… I am a member of the shadows under Aupen Agricio, the uncle of His Majesty the Demon King.”
“Under your uncle… It must have been a hook attached by my uncle. Your identity.”
“That, and… That day. The day when His Highness, the Demon King, was about to be in a bad way by the human nobles. It was me who abruptly attacked His Majesty the Demon King… What’s wrong?!”
Having said that, Lire’s body suddenly stiffened and immediately began to tremble like crazy.
The reason was that from the eyes of Yulia as she was looking at her, or rather from her whole body, a thick, fleshy feeling bloomed.
Yulia’s eyes flashed as if she wanted to rip and kill that trivial thing right in front of her eyes.
Even Klaus flinched a little from her wrath and murder, the demon king’s hostility towards Lire was relentless and merciless.
“… Klaus. What are you doing?”
“Yulia.”
“You should have killed that bitch right away. The bitch who dared to throw me, me, to those lowly pigs. It’s been a year since I let those disgusting touches touch my body! Did you bring that woman to me now to save her? No matter how much that bitch betrayed my uncle and gave up all the information! There are things you can forgive and there are things you can’t! This is overkill. No matter how you are, this is!!”
She was Yulia, who used to get angry, but she soon shut her mouth when she saw Klaus’ calm face.
Could it be that the man she knew did something like this without even expecting her own reaction?
Judging by that expression, it was the reaction that he expected everything that he would get angry like this, and that he would immediately fire a torch to kill that woman named Lire.
As soon as her thoughts reached that point, Yulia instantly calmed her rage that exploded like a volcano.
The demon king’s killing spirit, which seemed like he would get up at any moment and rip off that hateful bitch’s neck, disappeared like a lie.
Julia exhaled her breath lightly and stared at the demon woman lying flat on the floor in front of her, trembling.
“Tell me.”
“Eh, Your Highness the Demon King.”
“Looking at Klaus’s reaction, it’s like the reason you had to do that. Or maybe there’s a reason I survived that man after he hurt me. Speak about it with your own mouth. I will listen and judge for myself.”
Even as she trembled, Lire faithfully followed Yulia’s orders.
The reason why she became a shadow, how she subdued Yulia under her orders, and then to the part where she was caught by Klaus and conversely confessed all the information related to her.
Of course, he didn’t say how Klaus got the information in the process.
Klaus hypnotized me so that I could never comment on that part.
Anyway, to sum it up, I had no choice but to enter the shadow forcibly.
And that she had secretly done all sorts of things in order to somehow be forgiven by Yulia.
I was able to summarize Lire’s words to this extent.
“… Hmm.”
When she heard that she was the one who killed all the other shadows who tried to re-enter the academy.
Julia glanced at Klaus for a moment, turning her head away from her.
When asked if what the woman said was true, Klaus gave her a small nod.
From the moment Lire betrayed Yulia’s uncle and came here, to clearing out Yulia’s secret guard and other shadows, to intentionally sending information little by little so that Julia’s uncle noticed the anomaly as late as possible, Lire did everything. It was a confirmation of that.
Yulia, who even confirmed Klaus’s approval, became a little worried.
Looking at what Lire did, she did a pretty good job, I admit that part.
But there must be another Xayah somewhere in the East who can do such a mission.
On the contrary, it is a matter of killing ten thousand times to have taken oneself by surprise and thrown it in front of those disgusting human aristocrats.
To be honest, I wanted to cut off that woman right away and let her body roll here and there between the feet of cows, pigs and horses, and kill her in a very miserable way.
‘But… There’s no way you don’t know that, that man. Klaus obviously knew everything I would think, but he dared to put that girl in front of me.’
Yulia, who had been thinking quietly, looked at Lire once more.
Even now, the enmity toward that demon woman has not been removed.
But if she wants to change her mind and come under her own.
As proof, she secretly guarded herself, killed other shadows, and even told everyone how and in which way the warrior commander leaked information.
And if Klaus is subtly trying to use a member of the shadow called Lire.
I could say that there was enough reason to worry about that part.
“You know what you’ve done, Lire.”
“Yeah, yes. Your Highness the Demon King.”
“No. It’s clear you don’t know very well. No matter what credit you make or how much you apologize, in the end it doesn’t change that you tried to hurt me. Whether it was voluntary or forced, you are forever a sinner to me. It’s such a disgusting sin that even if you chew it right away, it’s not enough.”
Ah. At Yulia’s words, Lire let out a sigh.
As Klaus said, he worked really hard, but the demon king didn’t seem to have any intention of forgiving him.
To be honest, he didn’t really expect the demon king to forgive him.
However, I was just wondering if Klaus would step up even a little bit and defend himself.
It seemed that he, too, valued the woman much more than himself.
So what am I going to be like now?
Klaus is a servant of the Demon King, so if she orders him to be killed, he will surely do so.
And it is certain that the price of daring to endanger the demon king will never be a quiet death.
A death that was as terrible as, or even more terrible than, that Klaus had shown himself.
Only that, Lire thought, would unfold in my path.
“Lir. I can’t forgive you Do you know?”
“Yes Yes… Your Majesty…”
“However, I can understand. It means that I can understand why you had to act the way you did, the very part that you had no choice in that situation.”
Having said that, Yulia gestured to Lire closer.
In response to the demon lord’s reaction, Lire hurriedly approached the front with her kneeling steps.
Then, as if begging her to save her, she lies flat in front of him and waits for Julia’s next words.
“Make more credit, suffer more, show more loyalty. Then, even if you do not forgive, you can move on. Lire.”
“Eh, Your Highness the Demon King.”
“There must be a reason why I used you. There must be a reason why my most trustworthy man told me the identity of the traitor through you. I believe in Klaus. So, for the first and last time, I want to believe in you at least once.”
Lire let out a sigh of relief at Yulia’s words and bowed his head even deeper.
The Demon King said that he could not forgive, but he could understand, so let’s watch at least once.
It was no different from going from hell to heaven.
“Klaus.”
“Yes, Yulia.”
“Are you really sure this woman won’t harm me anymore?”
“That’s right.”
“By all means, what if this woman is trying to act as her triple agent?”
“She puts all the blame on me. Her life if you want…”
“There is no need to risk her life. Because if I collapse anyway, you’re done too. There are no more options to choose from in a situation where you have come out to the kingdom, right?”
Then Klaus smiled and nodded his head slowly.
As Julia said, Julia was the only option Klaus could choose in the current situation.
Unless he was an idiot, he wouldn’t hire someone he wasn’t even sure he could trust.
“Lir.”
“Yes Yes! Your Highness the Demon King!”
“For a while, as a maid under Maid Planche, I will keep quiet so as not to be exposed to the outside world. If your uncle, that man, finds out that you betrayed him, things will be bad for your sister.”
“Ah…”
“Everything you have done so far has disappeared because I listened to you and gave you a chance. Now you’ll have to prove your loyalty by working even harder than that. This is your first and last chance. If there is even the slightest doubt, I will definitely kill you. I mean, I’m going to kill you with my own hands. Do you understand?”
In response to the cold demon lord’s threat, Lire frantically nodded her head.
As if this was enough for now, Yulia said she had nothing more to do and said to get out of here.
Lire let out a sigh of relief at those words and began to back away from her with her back bent.
Then she flinched at the sudden call of Yulia, and she trembled and stopped in her seat.
“Lir.”
“Yeah! Your Majesty. Ho, in case there is another department…”
“… First of all, it was hard.”
“Eh, yes?”
“Did you not hear the words of His Majesty the Demon King, Lire? You congratulate me for your hard work, but I can’t receive it right away, but you’re showing such a stupid reaction.”
At Klaus’s low tone, Lil said “Ah!” He let out a sigh and quickly said that it was nothing.
Rather, he bows his head again, shouting that he will try harder in the future.
Looking at that scene, Yulia really said to go.
“Sir, excuse me.”
After Lire finally backed off, Yulia let out her sigh.
At first, she thought she just wanted to kill her, but at some point she had other thoughts.
Now that it’s like this, wouldn’t it be better to use that woman more economically?
You have to kill your personal feelings as much as possible and focus on the parts that benefit you even a little bit now.
“Thank you, Yulia. For letting me go once.”
“… I do not know. Noisy. No matter how hard it is, how can you keep the girl who threw me at the pigs without telling me anything? This is too often.”
“Sorry. But at the time, the least useful person next to me was Lire. In addition, I know all the information about the shadows, and I also have a rough idea of the traitor in the castle. Let’s just say it was a little wasteful to kill it.”
At Klaus’s words, Yulia agreed to that part with a sigh.
If indeed she had warded off her shadows and informed of Heetari’s treachery.
It was a big sin, but it was a level that could be said to be big.
“I’ll think about her part about Lire later. Isn’t the other part the problem now? Julia.”
“… That’s right. Please, Kayla should be nice to you.”
“You will do just fine. Originally, setting up a new order in a group is a beastman’s specialty.”
