The demon king appeared before my eyes. I politely knelt before her…
Then the demon king looked at me and spoke in a calm voice.
“Please, have a seat. I hope my presence has not interrupted your meal.”
“Ah… no, that’s not possible. I was just about to finish anyway. Rather, I don’t know how to express my gratitude for such a wonderful meal.”
“Thank you for saying that.”
At my words, the demon king smiled a chillingly beautiful smile.
Seeing her like this, I sat down comfortably as she instructed…
Then the demon king looked at me and asked in a calm voice.
“So, do you like living here? If there is anything uncomfortable, please tell me.”
“Ah… no, there is absolutely nothing uncomfortable. Rather, I feel undeserving of such generous treatment.”
“Is that so? Then I’m truly relieved.”
At my words, the demon king smiled, seemingly relieved for a moment.
However, although her appearance was beautiful, I couldn’t help but feel my heart tighten at this moment.
The demon king, who seemed to be showing kindness, still had a dark shadow on her face as she looked at me, which made me once again solidify my serious resolve.
‘The expression of unease on her face as we speak… it’s clear that the demon king is still suspicious of me. Although it seems she has no immediate plans for me since I swore my loyalty… I still need to
achieve some notable deeds as soon as possible, or I might be in considerable danger.’
The vow of loyalty to the demon king had many regrets right from the start.
Besides, since my race is human, I needed to prove my loyalty to the demon king as a warrior of the demon race rather than as a human hero as soon as possible.
Revenge was one thing, but above all, it was also to live a sweet life as the demon king’s confidant safely.
‘The demon king must have come here to instruct me to do something. Perhaps as a test of loyalty, she might command me to attack a human city or something similar.’
The easiest way to see if the newly acquired hunting dog will follow its master’s orders is to put it to work.
In that regard, I felt as if I had become a new employee receiving my first task.
At the same time, holding the thought that I must seize the opportunity to achieve merits, I looked at the demon king in front of me and asked in a serious voice.
“Then, Your Majesty. I would like to hear the reason you came to see me directly.”
“Are you asking why I came to find you?”
The demon king started to show a more serious expression at my words.
Although even her appearance was incredibly beautiful, I spoke to her in the most loyal tone I could muster, trying to hide my feelings.
“Yes, Your Majesty. Do you have any commands for me, your sword? Whatever it is, please just say it; I will accomplish it by any means if it is a task you order.”
“Mm…”
The demon king furrowed her brow darker and slowly nodded at my words.
Seeing her like this, I could clearly confirm that she had come here prepared to test me.
‘What on earth does she want me to do?… Could it be to massacre humans? Or perhaps to occupy an entire castle? Is that the kind of command she has in mind?’
Whichever it may be, the demon king’s orders would undoubtedly include something about killing humans in terms of proving my loyalty.
However, unlike the original hero, I honestly did not feel any aversion to it right now.
Since this is a world from an NTR game, the humans in this world were generally not very normal.
From merchants who scammed the hero party trying to save the world,
to residents who, while pretending to provide food and lodging, would steal items or frame others, naturally causing distrust among humans.
Moreover, it was a bonus that the noblemen were all rotten enough that one might think they had lived well as nobles until now.
The human society in this world can be described as a complete hell, where it would be more realistic for a revolution to occur and lead to its downfall rather than a situation involving the demon king and the
demon race.
‘No… Now that I think about it, perhaps this is why those guys are attacking the demon race in a supposed “racial alliance”…’
In reality, instances where countries invade others to divert public attention when domestic politics or the economy are in chaos often occur.
Even in modern times, where citizens have a certain level of awareness, such things happen. How much more would it not be the case in a medieval fantasy world devoid of such ideologies?
Regardless, given that the overall situation of humans is fundamentally chaotic, I did not feel any aversion to making a ruckus in that context.
Rather, if I thought about it more seriously, this overall situation made me want to take revenge on the humans and the racial alliance that caused the hero to end up with an NTR + betrayal ending after saving the world.
And at this moment,
I was waiting for the commands of this demon king while expressing my heartfelt eagerness emerging from this background…
In response, the demon king sighed lightly, as if she didn’t quite trust me, and began to give me ‘orders.’
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
The demon king asked him to speak of what the hero needed.
In response, she intended to provide the hero with as much wealth, power, or even women as he desired.
However… in response to this request from the demon king, the hero firmly stated.
There was nothing he needed at the moment.
Just one thing… what he wanted was the demon king’s command.
In other words… he was asking for an opportunity to take revenge on those humans.
And crucially… as he said that, the hero displayed an almost frighteningly strong enthusiasm.
The fact that he possessed the strongest power and this intense fighting spirit was undoubtedly a positive thing for the interests of the demon kingdom.
However, even so, seeing him like this, the demon king could not help but feel a mix of negative emotions at this moment.
Still, upon hearing that the hero enjoyed his meal, the demon king felt a slight sense of relief.
However, upon reflection, it seemed that the hero’s actions were merely a way to replenish energy to ensure he could achieve the deep-rooted revenge he desired.
‘I had my doubts, but I never thought he would really request to be sent to a bloody battlefield… Hero, is it true that all that remains in your mind is… nothing but a desire for revenge?’
The once noble warrior displayed an exceedingly pathetic demeanor.
Yet, despite the hero’s terribly miserable state, the demon king had no choice but to give orders.
It was something she wanted herself, and crucially, the mission she was giving to the hero held immense importance and had to succeed at this time.
“I understand, Your Majesty. I will surely execute your orders perfectly.”
Thus, the hero shouted with deep loyalty and joy directed towards her.
Seeing him like this, the demon king quickly nodded slowly with a stiff face to hide her momentary guilt and replied.
“Then I entrust this to you, hero.”
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
