Chapter 490.2
POV – Demon King Finar
Today, I had another very significant experience.
I became acquainted with the Spirit King Yg-Drazil.
This was a great fortune for me. Expplôre uptodate stories at no/vel//bin(.)com
He was a great sage who had been watching the world from the distant past and was said to have helped pacify it.
Even among the demon race, whose life span was relatively longer than that of other races, sightings of him occur only once every few generations, especially those who have actually met him and exchanged words with him.
I never thought that I would be able to establish a friendship like this in such a place.
Was it my imagination that such an amazing event seemed to happen every time I met Yuki?
No, something definitely was causing this to happen.
He must have been born under such a star.
Well, if he wasn’t, he would never have become the emperor of a human nation, even though he was a Demon Lord, no matter what the circumstances were.
As I looked outside the window of the airship and giggled in amusement, one of my men came to report to me.
“Finar-sama. We have about 30 minutes left until we arrive at the citadel [Fulmundo].”
“Okay, got it.”
I was in the middle of playing chess, but I stopped and thought about things, only to recall after she mentioned it.
“Okay, let’s do it. I’ve had a really good time today, and I’m going to end the day on a high note by winning a game!” (Yuki)
“The date had already changed. Well, I’m afraid I’ll be the one to go to sleep comfortably! My husband will be gritting his teeth in frustration...I don’t like it when you grin at me. I’m afraid I’m going to have to deal with it.”
“Stop being so serious all of a sudden. –Let’s see, this board... Hey, whose turn is it now?”
“...I don’t know, so let’s start from the beginning.”
“Fine.”
And so we started the game from scratch as usual.
“Hey, how is your condition right now?”
“Mm, no problem. I’ve heard that pregnant women tend to have a rough time because of pregnancy, but so far I haven’t had any problems. But...I can feel each day that there is certainly another life inside of me. Rest assured, your child is growing up properly.”
“...I see.”
As I scratched my cheeks, she must have sensed my inner thoughts.
“You let your guard down, Yuki!”
“!!!? You are so good at not missing the slightest upset, attacking without missing the moment. As my rival, I can’t help but notice it...!!”
“The world of competition is not easy. If you’re not concentrating, I’ll just devour you myself!”
“Show it! That’s enough of a handicap! Let me show you the difference between you and me!”
“You’re just barking at me! Why not show me what you’re made of?”
The usual exchange continued.
