I Misunderstood the Date and Saved the Demon King

54. I couldn’t have imagined it

Why did Ashu come first! Conversely, Astaroth began to lay out in detail the 100 reasons why he should be first. The scary thing here is that he really has the momentum to spit out 100 things.

Even if El tried to stop them by saying ‘Stop it now’, it didn’t seem to have any effect.

Looking at that, Lethe was convinced. Those guys will be like that for a while Rather than stopping that, it’s easier to just come back when it’s a bit quieter and ask ‘Is it over now?’

“Me, Master.”

So I was thinking of sneaking out of the room and going for a walk. Hearing the voice from beside her, she turned her head to see Sitri following her carefully.

When did this guy catch up again? Anyway, this demon king and that demon king are so secretive that I’m getting a little scared now.

“I have a question for you.”

“Sytri, aren’t you going to ask the same question as Mar?”

“… That’s a question I can’t help but it’s not.”

Let’s say it, then. When Lete stopped her, Sitri continued her words.

“I wonder why the owner is suddenly like this.”

“Why?”

“Didn’t you say you were hesitant before? But suddenly today. I think there must be some reason why he called all of us and told us this.”

Why do other demon lords put themselves first or not? I guess that was more important. In the meantime, Sitri wonders why Lethe’s mental change happened. That’s what I was curious about.

“I didn’t change my mind alone.”

“I’m embarrassed, but I remember that Master didn’t even have the slightest hint of that to us until not too long ago.”

It’s pretty sharp. Lethe, who smiled at her, agreed to answer her blue demon’s question honestly.

Because Michaela never asked me not to comment on it, and most of all, if the demon lords knew about this, it seemed that it would affect the relationship between the two groups in the future.

“Michaela.”

“Mika, you mean?”

“What is it? Were you really close enough to call each other nicknames? I thought it was only Ashu who got close.”

“Mikay is the hero we have been closest to. Even though he will claim that he never did that.”

Looking at Sitri’s smile, it seems like it’s true. She is a gay blue demon who doesn’t give her heart easily to anyone except herself and other demon lords, but I didn’t expect them to be this close.

Certainly, if you think about it, there must have been quite a few times when Michaela was among the demon lords.

Anyway, Lethe let me know that Michaela had given her a sneaky push on her own back. She

It’s not that she didn’t have that kind of heart either, but she said that the approach of the red hero was decisive. She said that if it wasn’t for her, she probably would have been doing a little more trouble.

“… Her me and her sisters owe her her debt.”

“What is the debt? She’s worried about Mika as well, so she’s out there. If you hesitate and get into an accident, the most embarrassing thing is the warriors, except for me.”

“It is also true. There… Only in this way will she be able to take her turn as well.”

“Huh?”

She knew for a moment that she had heard the wrong thing. So Lethe asked back like an idiot. What do you mean?

Then rather, Sitri said, ‘Master? Didn’t you know?’ She tilts her head. I thought she was expecting it, but it wasn’t it.

“Wait a minute. Sitry. What else do you mean? It’s your turn.”

“That, um. Before I speak, I would like to ask a question. What do you think of Mika, Master? What emotion do you think Mika’s eyes looking at the Master originate from?”

“Isn’t that of course respect or admiration?”

I think Lete herself knows Michaela better than anyone else.

She looks like a very cool and rational woman on the outside, but in reality she is more emotional than any of her warriors and has a lot of emotional changes. As a bonus, she may have a secretly sloppy temperament.

It was not very difficult to win Michaela’s heart. She just had to do her best. All she had to do was to highlight her heroic figure by fighting the demons as much as she could.

She didn’t even have to do that to impress her champion Michaela. Even for Lethe herself to survive, such an action was essential.

It is safe to say that her Michaela’s admiration for her was only incidental to what she had ever done.

“Then, not long ago, she seemed a bit shocked.”

She respected and admired the war hero who defeated her demons as a warrior. She found out that the war hero was laughing and chatting with the demon lords hahahaha.

She would have shocked anyone. Anyone would have been angry or cried because their illusions had been shattered.

So Lethe calmly endured Michaela’s gaze. She was confident that with time anyway, she would be able to solve that too.

And as he expected. As time passed again, Michaela returned to her former she. Although there is ‘absurdity’ in her gaze at her demon lords, at least she was not ‘hostile’.

“She is what I think of as a warrior called ‘Mikaela’.”

“Hmm. You did. I know what the master is thinking.”

“… What. Sitry. Really? Isn’t it? No, even though you guys are like that, why is that guy all of a sudden?”

Doesn’t that make sense? Like the four demon lords, she didn’t save her with all her might, much less kept her by her side and cared for her with all her soul like they did.

Rather, the warriors don’t know, but Lete himself misunderstood the date and couldn’t save the warriors. Thanks to her, she said, they managed to escape after all the hardships.

After that, she met the warriors as time passed, but she did not have as much influence as the demon lords.

Just pat her on the back or shoulder to tell her to work hard. Not many times, but only twice. After that, she withdrew from the front line and didn’t she go into the academy?

“Citree. Aren’t you misinformed?”

No matter how much it is a sheet. Even if he is the smartest of the four demon lords.

This time, she couldn’t easily accept her words. She could say it was a really ridiculous case, at least from Lethe’s point of view.

“In fact, the beginning and process are a bit different, but the conclusion is similar to ours, isn’t it?”

“Replacing?”

“Yes, Master. It is also a lifesaver, but in the end, the reason we fell in love with the owner was because of the owner’s unique warmth and interest. I guarantee it, even if it happens just once, it will inevitably take away the heart of anyone in a difficult time.”

“But….”

“From what I heard from Mika, before becoming a hero, even after becoming a hero. I heard that it was a series of all sorts of hardships.”

At her words, Lethe could only nod her head. Because she knew well what the warriors went through. Some even saw it in person.

“The owner must have helped a few times out of concern for them.”

I had to give it to you. However, that help was all about cheering me on, letting me drink and smoking, and of course giving me advice that would be helpful as a senior in the war against the demons. I never tried to win their hearts.

I will correct it. Yes, I was trying to get a good impression. But more than that. If you ask her if she wanted a ‘love heart’, Lethe could answer with a certainty no.

“It seems that Master is not destined to deal only with us.”

“… I will be thrilled, really.”

Lethe had to grumble her heartily, clutching her face.

Finally, the Empire took all routes to peace. No more war. No, the number of cases that could cause discord were all cut out.

As a clear proof of that, the first prince of the empire went to a position that was virtually equivalent to exile. And the 2nd prince now became a faithful servant of the crown princess and swore allegiance to her.

With that, the political strife of the empire ended. Hardliners can’t even step forward anymore.

Can’t the princess, who has already blown up her prince, blow her nobles and her subjects?

The first step is difficult, but after that, there is no hesitation. There was no way that the aristocrats who played hard in the political world would not know that.

However, if the hardliners didn’t get anything, that’s not the case. The Crown Princess took appropriate measures to prevent the mice that were cornered by her from biting the lumpy cat.

Thus, the hardliners of the empire disappeared in an instant, like snow melting in the spring sun. The ending was too futile for those who had disturbed the crown princess not too long ago.

And when the hardliners of the empire collapsed, the influence naturally went to the two races, the elves and the dwarves.

“Even the most damaged empires made choices for their future. What can’t we do?”

“No more, brothers! I can’t lift a spear and shield forever! We must lift the hammer and blow the bellows!”

The atmosphere that didn’t seem to be resolved at all was slowly but surely getting better.

Among them, the speed of the Elves was much faster than that of the Dwarves, and the reason was that the person at the center of the Moderate faction was an overwhelmingly powerful figure.

“We, the Blue Moon Clan, want peace.”

Eridike, a war hero of the elves who worked alongside Lethe. As she strongly supported the moderates, the three continued to lean towards the moderates.

She said she couldn’t be ignored by humans, and she continued to increase Ly Dike’s influence.

However, she would never have imagined that the hardliners would support her with the moderates.

“Let’s show it. We elves can set aside personal feelings for the sake of the future. To bring past enemies into future neighbours, solely for the greater good.”

Let’s wrap things up quickly. Go to the Imperial Academy and see Lethe some more.

Still hiding her true feelings, Lee Dike was busy persuading her people.
