082. The Demon King
“I am glad. You’ll get to meet that famous person in person. To be honest, I didn’t have high expectations.”
The prince laughed happily.
“Are you famous?”
“Mana leaked out once in Prince Roselle’s experiment. All the wizards of the tower recognized the innocence, and they began to investigate who the owner was.”
Rumors spread in an instant.
“He also liked it a lot. So I asked Duke Roselle several times, but Duke Roselle was so determined.”
“Elven heart.”
Lavinia, who was listening quietly, pointed to the heart of Granada.
“Hot.”
“you’re right. My sister told Granada that she could feel that energy even though it was a little bit. Actually, that’s how I remembered it. Granada-sama was in Tarta with a person named Fail.”
‘Then that’s when we first met…’
Does that mean it’s hot?
‘I’m a little bit of the power of the demon king, but it’s said?’
Of course, there were times when I was with the demon king in a fail state. Unknowingly, he immersed himself in meditation by the side of the mana so pure that he practiced mana techniques.
But since it was just mana, it would have disappeared quickly.
‘Are there any leftovers?’
Capturing it meant that Lavinia’s sense of humor was surprisingly developed.
‘Is that why you’re showing favors?’
It felt simple, but it seemed so.
“Nice to meet you. Fail.”
“Wow.”
And that feeling changed from Lavinia’s gaze to Verge, who activated Phoenix’s mana, into certainty.

“Be courteous to Your Majesty!”
The article screams Berge frowned at the subtle hostility.
‘What did I say?’
Arrived and guided. And he said it was nice to say hello.
‘I didn’t think of this part.’
Before and after the return, I met many royals. But I’ve never had any experience of being polite to them.
because it’s the devil
Because he’s the devil.
But now he was not the Demon King, Berger, but a human, Fail.
If you have seen the royal family, even if you are not the king of your own country, you must show proper manners.
“·················ogue.”
The problem is, I hate it so much.
‘Do you want me to be respectful to a bloody human who is about 20 years old?’
It couldn’t be. The pride of the Demon King never allows it.
“You should be polite to me, you stupid knight.”
“what?”
I reached out my hand at the bewildered question.
Qwajik-
“Ugh…!”
“bloke!”
The knight caught by the neck struggled while floating in the air. The other knights shouted and drew their weapons.
Various aurors flew in. At the same time, the mana that exploded around Berge created a counter-resilient force.
They didn’t push the knights away or give them a big blow. But that was enough.
“stop.”
Cain raised his hand. The knights faltered.
“who are you?”
“It’s a position to be respected just like you.”
“Are you royalty?”
Berge did not answer. I just looked at Cain quietly.
Silence prevailed. The atmosphere darkened heavily.
“Hot.”
Lavinia walked through them. With a bright smile, he looked up at Berger.
“what?”
“Very hot.”
“Is it hot?”
“fire. here.”
Her fingertips pointed towards her lower abdomen. Exactly where the Second Heart was, where Phoenix’s mana slept.
“Great.”
“I, my lord!”
“Come this way!”
The knights were perplexed. Cain smiled sadly.
But thanks to that, the atmosphere was somewhat relaxed.
“Well, I apologize for the rudeness of our article. Could you have mercy on him who is about to die?”
“I do.”
The pale, tired knight rolled on the ground and coughed. The other knights supported him and pulled him towards them.
“It was my mistake to ask you to come and be rude without knowing much about Fail-sama. sorry.”
“I will accept it.”
“Please go inside.”
A small table was set up in the small garden. Two royal families, Berge, and Granada were seated.
“You don’t want to tell me which country you’re from, so I won’t ask. Where can there be one or two merciful royalty?”
“Thank you. I apologize for being rude.”
“I will be grateful.”
Just in time, the maid served tea and refreshments. After taking a sip of the tea, Cain opened his mouth.
“First of all, thank you for accepting my invitation. Granada-sama said he had a relationship, so I asked him just in case, but I didn’t know he would be willing to come.”
“If I build a good relationship with the royals of the Akan Kingdom, there is nothing wrong with me.”
“Yes.”
Cain’s eyes twinkled.
He caught two things from Berge’s words. That he is not pure, and that he is positive in his relationship with him for anything.
“The reason I wanted to see Fail-nim was because I felt Fail-sama’s mana.”
“heard. Did everyone in the tower know the mana I gave to Roselle Chartres?”
“I have never seen such pure mana other than an elemental. So I thought it was a fire spirit at first. I was so surprised when Duke Roselle told me that it was Fail-sama’s mana.”
Cain was not a wizard, but a knight, but the wizard was not the only one who wanted pure mana.
“I’m dying to wonder how you got that mana, but would it be rude to ask that?”
“Excuse me.”
“Haha, I just threw it away.”
At that moment, Lavinia, who was listening quietly, held out her hand.
“Give me mana.”
It’s also a crazy year.
“Why should I do that?”
“with.”
“You want to have it? hate.”
“Roselle.”
“Roselle Chartered paid a reasonable price for mana and made a deal.”
“I deal too.”
“If it’s a deal, there’s no reason to reject it. What can you give me?”
Lavinia pondered for a moment, then put her hand into the subspace. When she came back out, she had bright red scales in her hands.
“scales.”
“Is it Red Drake’s? There is absolutely no need.”
“horn?”
“It is the same.”
she pulled out something else. It was a beating heart.
The fact that her name is a princess is carrying something like this. It was nothing like her room.
“A werewolf’s heart?”
“yes.”
“Where am I going to take this and use it?”
“chimera?”
“Don’t think of me like you.”
“I.”
“Are you going to give me the chimera you made?”
“yes. Horns, heart, scales.”
“I’ll make you with those three.”
That was quite tempting. Rather than being greedy for the chimera itself, after hearing about the significance of the chimera from Ernap, I wanted to study Berger as well.
Even more so when it comes to chimera making, if it’s a chimera made by Lavinia Akan, who is said to be the best.
However, the prince’s gaze caught on to the idea of accepting a chimera blindly. Externally, there aren’t that many people who like chimeras.
“Sister, not many people like Chimeras.”
“not good?”
“Of course I don’t like it.”
Cain added a word to Berge.
“If you don’t like them, I can contact you and give you gold coins or any treasure you want.”
“You’re just too generous with your mana.”
“Not just. Among the wizards of Arkhan, there is no one who does not fall in love with that mana.”
“It’s money. Do you know how much I will ask for?”
“I don’t know. But I also have a little bit of authority because my name is a prince.”
it was harsh It was more so because I knew that the more money the better.
“good night.”
So I didn’t refuse.
“I want you to give me all the money, the treasure, and the chimera.”
The Demon King did not hide his greed.
“I’m glad you responded.”
“How much are you thinking about?”
“We are going to do our best to accommodate your needs. Why don’t we talk about it properly later on?”
‘Are you going to eat mulberry properly?’
Berger smirked. After all, what kind of human beings are the royal families of humans, and they do business at a loss.
“However much.”
But it was the same with Berger.
One concern is Roselle Charter’s growth due to his mana.
If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be okay if I didn’t lose to Chuck at all?
‘What if I take this opportunity to build a relationship with Akan?’
If the status of Fail becomes a friendly person with Akan.
What if you could move Akan like that? There will be many more things he can do.
“Good.”
“Don’t be silly.”
After Lavinia’s bullshit, Berge changed the topic.
“But I heard that you are looking for the Demon King’s Tower.”
“Yes. There are some areas of concern, so we are preparing for sure. Oh, can you help me?”
In Cain’s view, Fail’s power was unusual. In the rough terrain of Erzestra, each person was precious, and it would be better if they were strong.
“That’s a little troublesome. I didn’t come here for that purpose.”
“Oh, I went too far. sorry.”
“By the way, what are you preparing for?”
“I’m sorry too, but I can’t tell you if you don’t join.”
“That doesn’t mean I won’t join.”
“Um, I thought you would pass, but it’s not easy.”
After that, the conversation continued for a long time. Little by little, as the sun went down, Cain finished his seat.
“Should I just dig it up today? I would like to have dinner with you later.”
“Don’t let me accept the invitation.”
“Yes. Please guide them to the separate palace.”
Berge and Granada disappeared with the knight.
“Contact your home country and find out about the Pale royal family. We don’t know which country it is, so we’ll have to search all the countries.”
“Yes.”
Cain’s eyes shone sharply.
* * *
Berge and Granada arrived at the detached palace assigned to them. When he made sure that there were no popular chucks around, Granada let out the breath he had been holding back.
“I thought I was going to die from anxiety.”
“Whoever sees it will know what you are talking about.”
“Of course not, but how do you understand the princess’ words?”
“You don’t understand that? Do you think a guy whose name is an elf lacks the ability to understand language?”
“No, that’s a bit embarrassing.”
If you ask a group of 100 people, it would be more likely that they did not understand than they understood.
“You are an elf, not a human.”
“…you make me speechless.”
With a chisel and tongue, Granada turned the fire on.
“Oh, by the way, were you of the royal family?”
“The Demon King is also a king.”
“Ah, I’ve been curious about that for a long time. Are the demon kings really the royal family of the demon realm?”
“No way. it’s just a vanguard In human terms, you could be considered an officer.”
“But why the devil?”
“Because that’s what makes people afraid. Isn’t it more impactful that the demon king invaded than the officer of the demon realm invaded?”
“Is that really just that?”
“It’s just that it works so well for that.”
“but···.”
“And it was the humans who first called us Demon Kings. Thousands of years ago, when I saw humans in a dimension trembling in fear, crying out to be demon lords, it was adopted as it is.”
Well, that doesn’t mean anything to Arain anymore.
“It’s nice to be a subordinate of the Demon King. The most curious question has been answered. So you are saying that the Demon King is not a royal family either?”
“The demon lords are the best demons selected and chosen in the demon realm. His power is no different from that of a king.”
It is said that the corner of your mouth that rises while squeaking can be ripped enough.
“What joke are you not joking about?”
“You and I are not joking around.”
“…sheesh.”
Granada lowered the corners of her lips that had risen.
“By the way, what are you preparing for?”
“I do not know. You’re not even talking to me.”
“Why?”
“I cannot understand the will of the high nobles. I just knew that monsters would attack at night, so I started preparing, so I think it might be about that.”
“Well.”
So, is it okay to attack during the day?
