96.2 In The Same Boat

Unfortunately, I wasn't brave enough to look directly into Lyla's eyes, which made me feel so miserable. I just knew that she was looking at me.

「Vigne has been taking care of me since I was a child. But... That is that this is this...」Alll latest novels at novelhall.com

As for Garounya...

「Her loyalty, devotion, care, and yearning for her master... is wasted on someone like me. Truly... Wasted.」

As an individual, I didn't have that much resentment toward beastfolk.

「But, Garounya's white tiger tribe had a history of being persecuted and hunted by humans, that's why they're resenting the human race... It’s kinda like how I come to resent the demon race and the night elf...」

「............」

「Honestly... I don't know what to do about Garounya. Even I can't be helped, feels really miserable inside...」

I'll kill the Demon King. Exterminate all of his successors. Make the night elf pay their due in full, and destroy the dark portal. And bring the destruction to the Demon Kingdom.

And yet... I honestly still had no idea about what I should do for the beastfolk who lost the protection of the Demon Kingdom... And yet...

「Even I... Have no idea about the best choice in that kind of situation...」

When I looked timidly at Lyla, she was looking at me with a worried face.

「... Honestly, I might feel scared if you say something like 『I don't care about them, they can die for all I care.』 here.」

She timidly placed her hands on my shoulders.

The warmth of her hands gradually spread on my shoulders.

Lyla's hands were small.

「............」

But, I guess even Lyla had no idea about what to say in this situation either.

Yes. We wouldn't be this troubled if the answer was that simple...

「I guess we have to think about that bit by bit.」

Though I was aware that it was just delaying the inevitable, I kept talking.

「That was my plan. I will use my status as the Demon Prince to its fullest to destroy the Demon Kingdom. If possible, I want to release Liliana too. Even the widespread network of night elf cannot infiltrate into the forest elf country...」

They could disguise themselves as human and yet ironically, they couldn't disguise themselves as forest elf. They would be exposed immediately once exposed to sunlight or magical power.

「... What about the dragons?」

Lyla asked with a slightly trembling voice.

「... That's a bit complicated. I heard from my mother that the way I accept you warmly is just my public sta――」

「... Mother?」

「Woops, I mean the archduchess Platyfia.」

I covered my mouth in a hurry. Oioioi... Get a grip already... Don't forget that you're currently Alexander! Not Jilbagias.

Lyla replied while clenching her hands.

「We might be able to have a secret conversation in the sky... After you can fly of course.」

「I know how to fly... Thanks to my father's memories. That's why I want to try flying one of these days!」

How rare of Lyla to speak with such confidence.

I see, so there was that too!!

「That's a relief!」

Yeah, truly a relief!!

「But, we still need a proper explanation to Platy.」

「Eh? Why though?」

「Well, it's some sort of form for you to gain her trust... Rather, Platy always has this suspicion that you might betray me someday.」

「Aah...」

Lyla finally understood what I was trying to say.

「How will we explain this to her?」

「I'll teach you about logical thinking, about the future of the dragon race, about how you're going to be involved in political strife as you stay by my side. As for Platy...」

But those processes would take a lot of time...

Naturally, it wouldn't be a problem since once Lyla managed to fly and I could ride on her back, we would have all the time in the world for uninterrupted conversations.

「In short... We need to prepare a reason for why I am absolutely won't betray you, right?」

「Yes... Do you have an idea?」

I tried to ask Lyla who had a pensive look on her face since there was nothing to lose anyway.

「I see,」

Lyla nodded at me.

「How about becoming a couple with me?」

「PWEH!?」

I ended up spitting out the tea in my mouth upon hearing a completely unexpected proposal.
