Chapter 92 – The Demon Lord’s Father-in-Law Adult
I had a long dream.
I had Chloe’s body, and on the contrary, Chloe who had my body was being bullied by me.
Make them crawl on all fours and lick their feet, spread bread on the floor and force them to eat with their mouths without using their hands…
What kind of dream is this… Even if I get hit, why do I get hit by that bitch?
It’s absurd, but the image of him trembling in front of me is still good in front of my eyes. It was exactly the same as the look he showed when he held Jihyun’s hand.
What the hell happened to her in her dreams? Even if she doesn’t care, she can’t stop feeling sorry for her. Is it more like what I’ve been through?
“Huh… !”
He stretches loudly and slowly opens his eyes.
My body was lying on a soft bed. The interior of the room was the first time I had ever seen it, and the scenery through the window was unfamiliar.
Blinking at the chandelier on the ceiling, I looked around and got up.
“Here… ?”
See… How did it go…
Meeting Chloe at home and fighting fiercely?
Eventually, Abel caught him and threw him against the wall. Because of that, his fingers were broken…
“What?!”
In an instant, the hairs all over the body stood on end in fear. I shuddered and raised the hand that was holding me up.
However, to put the fuss aside, the hand was fine. It was just like my white, thin hand, as if it had never been hurt in the first place.
“All right… ?”
My throbbing arms and legs are all fine. It doesn’t hurt anymore.
Only then does the memory come to mind.
Lemarck and Alphonse, who appeared in a dramatic situation right before losing consciousness. The corner of his mouth rises as he recalls the image of him standing firm against Abel.
After being so indebted, you are now in debt again. How should I pay off the debt…
“…”
Do I really have to give my body away?
Thinking about that, I looked around the room again. The room, which felt unfamiliar at first, felt cozy when I thought it was Lemarck’s castle.
Castle anyway? Then all the villagers will be here too?
I immediately tried to look at the people, but I froze when I lifted the blanket.
The condition of the clothes was really messy. Even if the wound is healed, the dried blood scab… Also, everything is torn here and there, so you can see all the inner flesh…
“Change your clothes… Um, no. That’s a bit embarrassing.”
Can’t you meet people like this?
Looking around again to see if there was anything useful, I found a hanger located in the corner of the room.
A sleeveless blouse with frills, a skirt, and a fluffy and large cape and a cone-shaped hat!
“Hehe. Whether it’s Lemarck or Mr. Alphonse, I don’t know who it is, but he has an eye for it.”
Everything suits my taste perfectly. Anyone who sees it will know that it went in and out of my head.
It’s a little disappointing that the underwear isn’t a top and bottom set, but whatever.
I smiled happily and changed into the clothes hanging on the hanger.
It gave off a subtle scent and was soft to the touch, and it didn’t seem like something cheap bought from the market floor. Oh my gosh, I never thought I would try on a dress like this.
“Wow… “
I couldn’t help but marvel at my reflection in the mirror.
How do they fit so well! All sizes are perfect, so I feel like I’m wearing a custom-made suit.
Anyway, thank you later! Now is the time to take care of people’s safety.
I put on my cone hat and leave the room. I opened a door twice as big as my body and came out into a hallway much bigger than that.
“Oh, you, it’s wide… !”
I thought I was used to the large buildings in the imperial palace, but I wasn’t.
I feel like I’ve become an ant. How well-to-do nobles live in a place like this?!
However, unlike the lively imperial palace, this castle was so quiet that one wondered if it was empty. Even with the cloak wrapped around the cool air, I got goosebumps.
Take a step back
Towards a place where you can feel a lot of mana. Passing through the cold corridor, I jumped down the stairs.
Eventually we arrived at the door to what appeared to be a banquet hall. The voices coming from inside let us know that there were villagers inside.
Approaching the door, I hesitated for a moment and then slowly pushed the door open.
Uncle Ben is talking to the people around him with a serious expression, and Aunt Chris and Adena are sitting in the corner and sighing.
In addition to that, countless eyes are focused on me. As I was scratching my cheeks and laughing awkwardly, someone shouted loudly.
“It’s Lenny… !”
Then, like a blazing fire, you and I both started shouting at me.
“Lenny… !”
“Shame on Valence! Show your face, where is this place?”
“It’s like a prostitute who gave herself to the devil!”
The momentum was so fierce that I couldn’t even open my mouth and froze like a mute.
Something… I have to say something. I need to clear up people’s misunderstandings.
Even if you open your mouth, no sound comes out as if your throat is blocked.
I opened my mouth a couple more times and finally closed my eyes tightly. Around that time, other voices began to be heard that were not accusing me.
“Calm down. Still, thanks to Renye, didn’t she save her life! Calm down for a moment… “
“Are you saving your life? Even if that bitch hadn’t been attached to the demon king in the first place, this wouldn’t have happened! I’m sure the demon lord shook his back and got agitated!”
“You talk too much! At least listen to Rainier and then judge!”
“I really want… “
I’m glad not everyone turned their backs on me though.
When I carefully open my eyes, I see people whose momentum has subsided. Of course, their eyes still demanded an explanation from me, but at least it was better than hostility.
“Uh, uh… That is… “
What are you supposed to say? And to say that you ate together with the devil in the first place, what do you mean by that? I don’t even know that man’s face… !
So, just standing there hesitantly, people’s voices started to boil again.
Confused, I saw blue hair moving in the corner.
For now… It’s not too late to explain after meeting your parents.
“Sorry, sorry… ! I’ll explain it to you later!”
“Where! Explain and go to Rainier… !”
My parents noticed and entered through the side door located in the corner of the banquet hall. I ran after them and entered after them.
“Uh, Mom… Dad… “
It’s been several months… The faces of the two men did not change. They were the same as the two of them in my memory.
Of course, the expression… It wasn’t a very happy expression, though.
“…Lena.”
“Ugh, Mom… “
My mother, who stopped me from jumping into her arms, called my name in a cold voice.
This is even sadder than when I heard the resentful voices of the villagers. As she looked up at her mother with tears in her eyes, she sighed and said:
“Ha… How did this happen… How did you hold hands with the Demon King?”
“That, that… “
“Don’t push yourself too hard, man. Why are you bothering a child who is having a hard time being bullied by people?”
“There is a time to take sides and a time not to! You’re too far back to ride… !”
Unlike her mother, who still had a stern expression, her father smiled and opened her arms. I burst into tears and hugged him.
“Dad… ! Black, uhhh… “
“Our daughter. It’s been a long time since I became a big person, but I came as a person who ate the empire. Yes, it is our daughter who has to be on this scale.”
“Ahhhhh!”
“Why are you making your child cry more and making a fuss! Hey, Lena here. Did you go through a lot of heartache?”
The embrace of the two… It was so warm that I couldn’t feel the cold of midwinter.
I cried for a long time and poured out a bowl of tears. Perhaps thanks to letting all the sadness go, my heart felt refreshed as if it had been opened.
After you stop crying Her mother cautiously asked me a question as I sniffed her nose with her eyes stained red.
“Lena… So what do you mean by all that? What is the crime of treason against the state and what does it mean to be in one relationship with the devil?”
“Kheung. It’s the demon king… It’s the first I’ve heard. What do you mean by that?”
Demon King or Nabal… Why did you get involved with such a nobleman?
“Why did the knight say that? That you teamed up with the Demon King and betrayed the Hero party.”
“Yes… ?”
“And one of the men who saved the villagers. That person said that he was Alphonse, the butler who assists the demon king.”
“…Eh.”
Wait wait wait wait What is this all about?
I can’t… Isn’t it? If you think about it, all the puzzles fit together.
It looked awkward with human customs, and its strong power, even the purple mana, the symbol of the demons.
I thought he was just a noble from another country. Was it the Demon King?!
“Hey?! Three, my God!”
“Are you thinking of anything?”
“Mi, you must be crazy! No, how can I accompany the demon king… Ugh… “
So am I going to become the crazy bitch who flirted with the devil? They even acted cute, and at the end, we cried while hugging each other.
The misunderstanding of being in one relationship with the demon king… It just has to happen I would think so too
“Huh… “
“I am in favor. My son-in-law needs to be at the level of the demon king for this father to live.”
“This crazy man… ! I feel like my head is about to be blown off because of treason!”
“Haha! The son-in-law will protect you. Great job my daughter! You managed to seduce the king of a tribe! Live and live and become an adult, the father-in-law of the Demon King.”
I’ll turn, really… How did you deal with this situation… Wait for a sec.
Devil? Devildom? Then there will be a war soon… ? You said that the Empire is going to do a full-on attack! There’s even a signed one!
“Ahh… ! Le, Le Marque… No. Where is Mr. Alphonse now? Ugh… No, I will look for it myself.”
“What?”
The teleportation magic shown by Alphonse.
If he can… There’s no way I, the archmage, couldn’t do it. I’m sure you can.
Search for the powerful mana felt within the castle, and focus your mind on that location. And the moment he drew mana from the circle and made a passage to him.
“Oops!”
With the feeling of being sucked in, the place around you changes.
A feeling of mild motion sickness and nausea. When I looked up, there was a grandfather who looked at me with a puzzled expression.
On that forehead… Of course, it had two pointed horns that symbolized the demon tribe.
“Alphonse… Seed?”
“Her… Teleport is a very difficult magic. It’s not something you can copy just by seeing it once.”
“Ah, is that Mr. Alphonse? Why are you so old all of a sudden!”
“…This is my true self. The figure you saw is Polymorph.”
“Ah… !”
I see amazing… It’s not like this.
“All of you! What’s the ulterior motive that caught us? Are you planning to eat it alive!?”
“Idiots do not eat cannibals. There is no ulterior motive.”
“Then why… !”
“Does it have to have an ulterior motive? Isn’t saving someone in danger a natural thing to do before being a demon or a human?”
Seeing his smiling face, I was speechless.
He’s right. And just looking at the appearances of LeMarc and Alphonse that I have seen so far, they are not bad people.
I’ve been taught that demons are unconditionally evil… Was that common sense wrong? At least the ones I saw were more human than any other human beings, and they were good beings.
“…”
“Anyway, welcome. It was going to be meal time soon and I was thinking of calling people together.”
“Meal… “
His benevolent appearance and voice had a strangely calming power.
I nodded blankly, then thought of an urgent business and shook my head.
“Oh, this is not the time! Soon the Empire will send an army… “
“I know.”
“So, let’s get ready… Yes? What did you just say… “
“I said I knew.”
He motioned for me to follow him and walked ahead.
Following him, Mr. Alphonse spoke to him in a low voice.
“Anyway, the hero and his companions will eventually come crashing into the castle. Since I was constantly monitoring the situation in the empire, I had already discovered that they were preparing for war.”
“Then right now… “
“But my lord did not want war. Anyway, this is a fight between the demon king and the hero. He said it was not right for others to be sacrificed in the process.”
As he walked along the wide corridor, his voice was filled with sadness and pride.
It’s kind of like a grandfather treating his grandson. Mr. Alphonse, how old is he?
“Even so, the Pandemonium is being invaded, right? Wouldn’t it be right to gather an army to stop it now?”
“Of course, you can collect them if you collect them, but you can’t do that unless there is an order from the lord. So we will have to wait until he returns.”
Mr. Alphonse arrives at the large kitchen. As he flicks his fingers, the plates swish and serve the cooked food.
I looked at the minister as if possessed, then came to my senses and said,
“Well, then where is Lemarque? I’ll try to convince myself… !”
“Lemarck? Ah hahaAunty knew that. LeMarque hasn’t returned yet. Well, I wonder if you’ll be back tomorrow.”
Tomorrow… It’s tomorrow…
Yeah, a day or so would be fine. For now, let’s think about where the villagers live, and have a proper talk with Lemarque tomorrow.
“Whoa… “
“How about you learn to cook, too?”
“That’s Okay! Cooking is annoying… “
“I’m sure Lemarck-sama will like it too.”
“…Then, please teach me a little bit. Something simple.”
I also learned to cook to serve him, but Lemarque did not come back even after tomorrow, the next day, and even a week later.
Until the invasion of the empire… There really isn’t much left.
