197. An Unfinished Journey (3)

This time, the Demon King did not answer. Even if there was no response, Sedna continued to speak.

– You must have been born as an Elyos because you killed someone important, right?

“Perhaps.”

It was such a loop. Sedna smiled sadly.

– I think I can see why the Elyos who remembered their previous lives went crazy faster than the Demons.

Elyos are sinners who have killed their loved ones with their own hands. In other words, it was a structure in which the perpetrators went crazy faster than the victims when they recalled their memories.

– I can’t forgive you. If you ever think I killed you in a previous life, how can I forgive you for that?

“Don’t be imaginative. idiot.”

bean!

In the meantime, a finger stick flew away. Sedna grabbed her piercing nose with her two front paws.

– Ouch.

“You never do.”

– How are you sure?

“feeling.”

As always, it was a simple answer. Embildon, who had been poking at Sedna, who had become dazed, bluntly opened her mouth.

“I don’t care who you killed in your previous life. I have no interest.”

– Not interested?

“not really. What kind of human you were in your previous life, who you died for, who you killed, what’s the use of all that? The Sedna I know is the girl in front of me right now.”

Hearing what Sedna had to say, it seemed like nothing really mattered. The pink fox was persuaded by the demon king’s dignity.

“It’s the same. Lou Embildon was an incompetent child who knew nothing. Sedna, are you interested in my past?”

Sedna, who had only shook her head, suddenly stopped.

‘child? Was Ragier’s previous life a baby?’

Somehow I couldn’t imagine it at all. The Demon King Embildon that Sedna knew was as far from an innocent child as between heaven and earth.

The Demon King was always dignified and showed no gaps. When he thought about the time when he was small and immature, his curiosity surged as if he had poured oil on fire.

Sedna smiled bashfully as she buried her nose between her front paws.

– Ehehe, I’m a little curious… … .

“Noisy. Don’t be curious.”

Embildon cut the fox’s curiosity like a knife. It was a memory that I just wanted to forget from the point of view of the Demon King, as if my previous life was supposed to be a foolish crybaby.

However, it was his limit, if everything was perfect, that he could never forget the scene he remembered once he was so clever.

Anyway, Sedna’s curiosity was fortunately put to an end at that level for Embildon. The two chatted on the roof for a while and then fell asleep peacefully.

– Oh dear. It’s good that you came up just in case.

– … let this go

A mini-dragon that flew up to the roof and a red dog that was caught by its feet flew around the demon king.

– I’m still in trouble. If you sleep outside, you will be cold.

– … let it go

– right. Can I cover you with a blanket?

Even strong demons need sleep.

It had only been a few days since the Demon King regained his body. In a state that had not yet fully restored its original strength, Embildon was busy moving around to restore the broken Demon Realm and restore order.

In addition, in order to improve relations with the heavens, it was necessary to take care of the constant conflicts.

In order for demons to recover their strength, there are ways to eat living things, absorb life force, or enter a sleep state and rest.

The fact that he had been overworked all the time and now fell asleep was also evidence that he felt that the surrounding situation was stable.

Tay sat down on the roof carefully so as not to wake the owner. As soon as Rey, who had been fussing while holding his back by Tay, got down on the floor, he showed his teeth with an uncomfortable face, but Tay changed his appearance without paying attention.

pop!

Tei, who transformed from a small mini dragon into a boy with purple hair, smiled and summoned a blanket.

But just as he was about to cover it, a drowsy voice was heard.

“Tay.”

“Ah! Are you awake?”

With his eyes closed, the demon king who called the attendant buried his face in Sedna’s hair and muttered.

“Go.”

“Yeah. When you wake up, would you like to go back to your room and sleep? Is it windy outside? The sandstorm is hot, and you never know when the weather will suddenly change.”

“To Zereira.”

The servant’s mouth, who had been chirping for a moment, was closed. Tay knelt down in front of the Demon King with serious eyes. Ray also wiggled his tail and stopped at the same time.

Embildon shook her head languidly. Red eyes that were asleep were revealed through the messy black hair.

“It’s not for any great reason. I just wanted to go.”

“Yeah.”

“There are guys I want to meet. There are things I want to do.”

It was a fickle decision, but the Demon Dragon and the Demon Dog simply listened to his story.

If the king wants to do something, he just has to do it. In the demon realm, the king was the law and the truth. The demon king stretched out his hand toward the bowed servants.

“Will you follow me?”

The Demon King once saved them from dying with a touch like this. Recalling that time, Tay and Rei were overwhelmed with joy and followed their master without even a moment’s hesitation.

“Yes, my master.”

– According to the will of the king.

After hearing the answers from them, Embildon lay flat on her back. When I felt at ease, the water horses rushed in as if it had burst. The pink hair of the already sleeping fox softly supported her head.

“Before that.”

Mbildon muttered as if it was annoying.

“Sleep.”

Demons never sleep defenseless in the presence of other people. The fact that he slept with Sedna, Tay, and Rey was also a sign of his trust in them.

The Demon Dragon and the Demon Dog looked at each other indifferently over the king of the Demon Realm, who had finally fallen asleep on the roof.

“Hmm. there’s nothing we can do. right?”

nod.

Rei nodded quietly and took out the wings that were hidden.

It was only when he came that he was caught by the dragon’s feet and hung on it, but he had no intention of going with such a disgraceful attitude when he went. Rei was not the body, but the shape of a small puppy, so the black wings that appeared on her back were as small as a baby’s palm.

Rey clasped Sedna’s dummy while sleeping in that state and cast space movement magic.

Likewise, Tay, who had crossed the space into the room with the owner, laid him down on the bed. I arranged the blankets so that I could sleep comfortably and closed the windows to block out the sunlight.

As demons feel more comfortable the darker it is, it was better for the bedroom to be dark without a single light.

Tei and Rei turned off the light that was glimmering by the window and gently closed the door and left.

Wishing their masters good dreams.

The particularly cold and lonely winter of Zereira has passed.

The still snow-covered streets and the cold wind that shakes the branches with new leaves left the footprints of winter, but spring was definitely coming.

Green buds sprouted on the bleak hillside, and yellow and red flowers bloomed one by one. People’s clothes became lighter, and the market was crowded with the smell of spring-caught fish and wild vegetables.

Originally, the island nation of Zereira prepares the biggest event in spring, the New Years Eve.

However, as Prince Razier disappeared, the sea god he made a contract with also disappeared, causing a lot of anxiety both inside and outside the country.

Even so, they could not ignore the tradition they had been keeping every year, so people started preparing for the New Years Eve with a dark expression.

“Oh. I’m ready… … .”

And Aristide Ten, who was in charge of the undersea tunnel construction, muttered while wiping down the corners of her eyes that had become tired from staying up all night.

The undersea tunnel, which was only about to open after completion, was currently on hold. It is because without the protection of the sea gods, it is impossible to safely open the sea route.

Nothing was going normally.

“It’s all because Your Majesty is absent!”

Aristide hung on the window sill and shouted at the sky for nothing. There was no answer from the clear spring sky without a single cloud.

“Don’t blame me. Stupid wizard.”

“Sigh, don’t shout. Stupid wizard.”

Aristide, who screamed once in frustration and heard a pair of bruises, closed her mouth like a clam and looked back. Lin Shushu and Lun Shushu, who were surrounded by the cradle, spoke at the same time as if whispering.

“Baby wake up.”

It was.

Recently, there was a little creature that twin fairies were taking care of. This is Prince Lazier’s younger sister and the one-year-old princess, Char Erin.

After Razier disappeared, the two land elves, who had become helpless, soon found a princess who was related to Razier. The only resemblance was within the wall that was as blue and dark as the sea surrounding Zereira, but that alone was enough for the fairies to bond.

Baby Princess Charerin, who had just passed her first birthday, was protected by the land fairies and was growing up safely in the royal palace.

Upon hearing Aristide’s cry, the princess woke up and blinked her sleepy eyes and then smiled softly.

He was a very sweet baby.

“Sigh.”

Looking down at Charerine like that, Aristide let out a complicated sigh. The innocent little princess smiled well without even knowing that her brother had gone missing.

“The Haesin Festival must have started by now.”

Bumping, Aristide, who sat with her buttocks next to the baby’s cradle, clenched her chin and murmured.

“It is a god of god without a god.”

“cadet?”

“Until last year, of course, I believed that His Majesty would attend this New Year’s Eve celebration.”

Princess Charerine, who had become accustomed to the face of the wizard along with the land fairies, stretched out her tiny hands and squeaked.

Aristide poked the cheeky princess with her finger. The princess, who smiled brightly even after being stabbed in the cheek, was very pretty because she was afraid that she was not someone’s younger sister.

Aristide thought blankly inwardly that all of Zereira’s royal ancestry looked more like angels, and then opened her mouth.

“… So I finished the construction of the undersea tunnel while working overtime until the sea god festival opened. I thought you would be happy when we open the tunnel with Haesinje.”

“Hey!”

“It’s been a good year this year, so how long should I put it on hold? next year? my next year? if not.”

After ten years, will the owner who ordered this grand tunnel construction return?

A mixture of resentment, worry, and sadness brought tears to my eyes. Charerin, who was smiling, tilted her head. It was because hot tears fell on her soft, white cheeks.

“hem?”

“Big. Will you be okay? our lord.”

Tears welled up from Aristide’s stupid face.

As the young land elves teased, Aristide buried her face in the palm of her hand, self-help rather than the foolish wizard.

He sighed for a moment, then muttered again, wiping the tears away with his sleeve.

“Well. I’m sure you’ll be safe as the monster-like servant will be with you.

“Yeah? monster? Who?”

“Yeah, of course, my dragon… uh?”

It was not the voices of the land fairies that just responded.

“Tay!”

“Tae!”

Lin Shushu and Rune Shushu were held in the arms of the Warak purple-haired boy. He had forgotten what he was usually afraid of and was now filled with joy.

The boy, who took the two fairies into his arms with a ‘whisper’, looked down at Aristide with amber-eyed smiling eyes.

jump!

He stood up so hastily that the chair Aristide was sitting on spun from his seat.

“Hello.”

“Te, te, te… … .”

“It’s Tay.”

Even Aristide didn’t know that it would be so pleasant to say something with a smile.

For some time, the prince’s attendant, Tay Thanatos, came into the room dressed in luxurious clothes.
