Chapter 504.1
In the Demon Realm’s Royal Capital (2)
Then, I listened to the story of the Demon King for a while.
His wife was a woman of a different species called Wise Devil. Although she was a demon, she was not a noble but a commoner.
Well, the Demon race cared more about “power” than status. But even so, it would be quite unusual for a commoner to be chosen to be the King’s companion.
Originally, she was one of the maids of the castle, and it seemed that she had known Finar since Finar became the Demon King.
So, they had basically known each other for several decades now.
She was a very lively woman, and even among the highest class of maids, she was so beautiful in each of her gestures that Finar remembered her well, and that was the reason why Finar approached her in the first place.
In other words, she would be like Layla in our family.
He was joking earlier that he could find anyone if he wanted to, but in fact, it turned out that he had already found someone he liked and decided to marry her. DiisCoover updated novels on n(o)v./e/lbin(.)com
It seems like she struggled a lot with the fact that she was married to such a serious person, and she often got angry with Finar for his inattentiveness and lack of attention towards his own personal affairs due to his daily busy schedule.
“Haha, that’s nice. In your case, wouldn’t it be better to have someone close to you who is worrying and even angry at you, I think?”
The other Rulers I knew were all basically putting their own family affairs behind and seemed to take it for granted or not care about it at all and focused solely on how to improve their domain.
They do all possess a sense of responsibility as Rulers, and have been doing their best at their ruling.
I would probably be the only one among those rulers who didn’t really care about my own duty as a ruler of a country.
As such, I think it would be good for Finar to have someone who watches over him from a different perspective than he was viewing himself.
In our case, I have a lot of people who look out for me and I look out for them, so it was a perfect balance.
As a matter of fact, it was Lefi who was most keen about observing everyone.
She always noticed if something was wrong, like when Layla, who rarely expressed her true feelings, was a little out of shape but never noticed this herself.
“Yuki, I don’t want to be the only victim of this nonsense.”
Finar smiled with meaning, and I shrugged my shoulders.
Although Kuala Luka kept a straight face during the conversation, she was probably just responding to my joke.
Well, I think I could get along with this person.
I want to bring my army of wives and introduce them to her.
“...beautiful bride.” (Enne)
“Thank you, Lady Zaienne. You are also very beautiful. Your dress is of very good color and structure, and I can see that you are very elegant.” (Kuala Luka)
“Thank you, and please call me Enne.” (Enne)
“Lady Enne, I am thankful for your kindness. Please call me Kua as well.” (Kuala Luka)
“...Nn...Pleasure to meet you, Kua. But please don’t call me Lady. I prefer a more casual approach.” (Enne)
“I would also like you to call me more casually as well like Enne. I’m not used to formalities, so please don’t use it.” (Yuki)
“...I understand. I’m sure this Kua will be able to make friends with Enne and your family.” (Kua)
“Is that so? I’m glad to hear that.” (Enne)
Finar smiled as he watched Enne and his wife exchange a few words.
“Well, this is the kind of girl she is. Quite a strange girl, isn’t she?” (Finar)
I couldn’t help but chuckle when Kua replied with, “My, Your Majesty. You are saying that in the presence of the person in question? Please be prepared.”
“...Prepare for what?” (Finar)
“Well, it’s not something I’m willing to say...” (Kua)
“Oh, are you planning to do something you couldn’t speak of?” (Finar)
“...well, I can tell that you two are getting along pretty well, I would say.” (Yuki)
What to say... they didn’t look like they would match each other at all, but they might be surprisingly well suited for each other.
