Northern Lands.
Count Granat's territory.
Thirty kilometers away.
"Who is it?"
Outside a magnificent palace under a clear blue sky.
The young male Demon with light golden hair brushed aside his bangs.
Revealing an unruly expression.
Standing before him was a girl with blue-green hair, wearing a white dress and a red knit cardigan.
The girl had two cute little horns on her head.
Yes.
She is a Demon.
Otherwise, Draht would have already killed her directly with his thread Magic.
Actually, it's more accurate to say she was a young, beautiful woman rather than a girl.
The woman wore a gentle smile.
But she paid no mind to Draht.
She simply walked towards the palace on her own.
"You're asking for death!"
Draht's face showed displeasure.
Since returning from the last negotiation, he had been sent by Lady Aura to guard the gate.
But who was he?
He was a dignified Executioner!
Guarding the gate was depressing enough!
Now, even a weak Demon who appeared from who knows where dared to ignore him!
Did they really think this was Demon territory!
(One of the Demon laws: Do not kill weak fellow clansmen without cause.)
He saw him flick his fingers!
Instantly!
An invisible thread of Magic power was instantly generated out of thin air and cut towards the woman!
The thread was extremely sharp!
Carrying a terrifying aura!
If she were truly hit by the thread, the consequences would be unimaginable!
"Clang!"
A sound like metal clashing rang out!
The thread of Magic power fiercely cut towards the woman's neck!
But it had no effect whatsoever!
"How boring~"
The beautiful woman, who looked harmless, showed a gentle smile.
She held up her index finger and shook it in front of her.
"D-dammit..."
Draht tried to pull the thread with all his might.
But it was as if the thread was not cutting flesh and blood at all!
Draht was confident he could cut even hard steel!
Yet now, he couldn't break the simple Magic power barrier the woman had set up around her neck!
This woman is very strong!
Draht arrived at this conclusion almost instantly!
"Lady Aura is inside..." "Please enter, my lady."
Since he knew the newcomer was no nobody.
Draht naturally and obediently stepped aside.
"You're letting me pass so easily?"
The beautiful woman covered her mouth, revealing a laughter like silver bells.
"After all, my lady is a noble Greater Demon..." "It was my poor eyesight that failed to recognize you, I have offended you!"
Dense beads of sweat appeared on Draht's forehead.
Offending a superior, he could almost certainly be sentenced to death!
But he still wanted to struggle a bit!
"Ho ho..." The woman chuckled lightly.
After playfully tracing her long fingers across Draht's face.
She spoke indifferently.
"I still prefer your unruly appearance."
"It is my fault, my lady!"
Draht trembled violently all over.
He should accept the punishment properly!
Draht quickly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy!
The woman was too lazy to make things difficult for Draht.
Seeing this, she covered her mouth and smiled.
And walked directly towards Aura's palace.
"What a shameless woman."
Watching the woman's graceful figure disappear into the distance.
Only then did Draht stand up, his heart still pounding, gritting his teeth.
What kind of Demon Race hides their own Magic power!
"Hmm, someone is here?"
Lügner, who had just come out of the palace, raised an eyebrow as he watched the woman walking directly towards the palace gate.
He wisely bowed and stepped aside.
He maintained a respectful posture until the second before the woman entered the palace.
"Bang—"
The palace door closed.
Lügner quietly looked at the palace door for a moment before taking a step.
He walked down the steps, one by one.
And came to Draht's side.
"Lord Lügner."
Having just been toyed with by a Greater Demon.
Draht was now extremely cautious.
Seeing Lügner come to his side, he immediately bowed humbly.
"That just now, the wo—"
Lügner paused, choosing his words carefully.
"Do you know the identity of that lady just now?"
"Reporting, my lord, I have no clue whatsoever."
Draht wiped the sweat beads from his forehead.
Just by mentioning that woman.
Draht felt as if the shadow of death from earlier had once again enveloped his heart.
Terrifying!
That was a very terrifying existence!
Draht was 100% certain that if he had reacted slower then!
He would definitely have died!
"You don't know..."
Lügner looked at Draht, his face showing indifference.
"Wait!"
"Lord Lügner!"
The death-like palpitation surged into his heart again!
Draht quickly took half a step back, then frantically waved his hands!
He knew it!
Lord Lügner had wanted to kill him ever since he returned from the last negotiation!
He just hadn't had an excuse to do it yet!
"But I know she is a Greater Demon lady!"
Draht quickly stated his conclusion!
He believed Lügner didn't know this!
After all, the only time the woman made a move was when she intended to kill him!
"So that's it..."
The killing intent in Lügner's heart subsided.
This useless fellow is still somewhat useful, so let's keep him for now.
A Greater Demon?
Lügner looked back at the palace.
What would an unknown Greater Demon come to see Lady Aura for?
And a Greater Demon who likes to hide her own Magic power.
A glint of light flickered in Lügner's eyes.
He pondered but gained nothing.
Lesser Demon Race and Greater Demon sound like only a single word difference.
But the difference in strength and thoughts is world-altering.
He couldn't guess.
"Bang—"
The palace door sounded again.
Lügner clearly saw the woman walk out, and behind her...
Behind her followed Linie, who had cute pink twin tails.
And...
"Lady Aura!"
Yes!
It seemed the woman was going to take Linie away.
And Lady Aura, holding scales, had come to the door to see them off!
What is happening!
"Aura, this is far enough."
The woman showed a helpless smile.
She was a bit busy.
So she came in a hurry and left in a hurry.
"It's a promise!"
Aura nodded.
Stopping his steps.
But on his face, which usually showed an indifferent smile, there was a rare trace of seriousness.
"You can take Linie, but you must protect her well."
"The Demon King likes her very much."
Aura was still serious in the first half of the sentence.
In the second half, Aura's jealousy was clearly audible in his words.
She's clearly just a small Demon Race, okay!
Why does the Demon King like her so much!
Whenever he thought of this, Aura couldn't help but pout in anger.
"Don't worry..." "Don't I know how much the Demon King likes her?"
The woman showed a smile that reassured Aura.
"I promise to take her out intact and bring her back intact."
The two talked back and forth.
Meanwhile, Linie, who was the subject of the conversation, stood obediently beside them.
Linie didn't know what she was going to do next.
But since it was the command of Lady Aura and this Greater Demon lady.
Then she just needed to obey—
"Let's go."
The woman waved her hand.
Saying goodbye to Aura, she turned and left.
Linie, on the other hand, bowed respectfully towards Aura.
And obediently followed the woman's footsteps.
"Honestly, I quite like this little girl myself~"
Aura watched the two leave.
Quietly disappearing from sight.
After a slight sigh, he turned and walked towards the palace.
