Promises Should Be Kept (2)

Kasa Garda let out a burst of laughter as she looked at the nameplate resting on her hand.

It was an item Dowd Campbell, who had appeared out of nowhere, tossed to her.

And it was definitely something that shouldnt be handled so lightly.

After all, it was the equivalent of the Imperial Seal of the Empire.

The symbol of the Chieftain. Up until now, it had always been in Alans possession.

How did you even obtain this? Rread latest chapters at novelhall.com

Kasa asked in a dazed voice, addressing Dowd, who nonchalantly handed it to her without any explanation.

Well, the situations chaotic right now. The Chieftain is dead, the entire alliance is in disarray, and Im the one who cleaned up the whole mess. With a little negotiation with the War Chiefs, it wasnt hard to take this little thing away from them.

His words did make sense.

For the Tribal Alliance, having their Chieftain manipulated to such an extent by someone was definitely a shameful event. In fact, the War Chief Assembly was currently in a state of unprecedented chaos.

But still

This thing wasnt such an easy thing to obtain.

To clarify, it was true that the position of a Chieftain didnt hold the same dignity and power as the Empress of the Empire or the Pope of the Holy Land.

After all, it was a position that could be challenged anytime; Kasas downfall against Alan was proof of this.

It was determined by who was the strongest among the War Chiefs rather than someone who fundamentally ruled over the Tribal Alliance.

However, even so

It was still a role representing one of the three Superpowers. It was not a position where the decision-making power could be casually handed over to an outsider.

So, as Kasa posed her query filled with such doubts

She was met with another ridiculous response.

Nah, its just

Casually blurted out by the man in front of her.

I told them to fight me if they have a problem with it.

I said, since the position is determined by that kind of outdated method, why do they even make such a fuss? Im still asking nicely, why cant you just hand it over? Yeah, something along those lines.

And that answer made Kasa burst out in laughter.

Well, that makes sense.

After all, Kasa had heard about how Dowd had broadcasted his fight against the Ancient Gods live to the War Chiefs and also repelled unidentified who attacked the place where Lady Tristan was staying.

In the first place, they also knew who taught me the Law Technique I used to defeat the Ancient Gods. So, they didnt treat me as an outsider, but a direct disciple of yours.

This response was also another one worthy of her chuckle.

While his skills were laden with all sorts of tricks, deceit, and swindling, he had proven himself sufficiently.

As for authority, it seemed he had leveraged her name to settle matters.

Then, at this point, there was something she absolutely had to ask.

What are you scheming?

Excuse me?

With achievements and authority that could potentially secure the highest power in a Superpower, you could have obtained anything you wanted.

But this man

Acquired such a position and handed it over to her, not even bothering to claim it for himself.

Which means, you have an entirely different desire.

There are various answers to that, but if youre looking for the most relatable one to you, its because it will make Riru happy.

That child?

Honestly, its too early to use such a reason just for the mere position of Chieftain. This is just the beginning, after all.

Dowd awkwardly scratched his head as he spoke.

Youve seen what your granddaughter is harboring, havent you?

Kasa slowly nodded.

She had clearly seen with her own two eyes the aura emitted by Riru.

And it was hard to deny what it was.

Devils are the common enemy of the entire continent. While some covet their power, fundamentally, they are considered beings that must be exterminated for the sake of humanity.

Dowd spoke in a serene voice.

Then

With a sigh, he dropped a bomb.

To fundamentally rip apart and fix that perception, I have no choice but to spread my influence starting from the top echelons of the continent.

Kasas eyes widened.

In other words

What this man was saying was that

Are you saying that Devils are not enemies of humanity?

Yes.

However

Dowd answered as curtly as he always did.

They are not enemies. And I will prove that.

It was a statement filled with omissions.

Why were they not enemies? How did he plan to prove it?

The position of Chieftain is just the start. The Imperial Court of the Empire, the Church Headquarters of the Holy Land I have to make all of them owe me a debt. At least to the point where they will comply with my requests without question.

It was an absurd claim with unbelievable motives; A plan only a lunatic could come up with.

However

When he spoke about why he was doing it

His voice was filled with conviction and certainty.

Including Riru, to make all the people who harbor such things happy, that is the only way.

Kasa let out a laugh of disbelief.

In other words

You might end up turning all of humanity against you, Child. Deep-seated hatred isnt something that could be changed easily.

Youre saying youre willing to fight against all of humanity for the sake of your women. Do you understand that?

Im just trying to reveal the truth.

Kasa burst into laughter once again.

[ Target Seras Evatrice begins to take interest in you earlier than expected! ]

[ The target will soon arrive at Elfante Imperial Academy! ]

What the fuck? What were you cooking?!

I knew of Seras.

She was the master of the Oath of the Crescent Moon, a covert organization under the Holy Lands Pope.

And

Was highly likely, a Devils Vessel.

Unlike other Devils whose roles were randomly assigned in each chapter, Seras was a predetermined entity, akin to Faenol and Eleanor.

She was the one who harbored the Purple Devils Fragment.

Though I may not have met her in person, there had been a few interactions before.

In the first place

[ Checking the current conditions of the target Seras. ]

[ Your overall demeanor matches Serass ideal type perfectly! ]

[ If she meets you in person, the probability of her falling in love at first sight is extremely high! ]

[ Skill: Fatal Charm preemptively activated! ]

Wasnt she someone that had something like this show up way in advance?

If she joined in this situation, it was like adding a bomb when I was already walking a tightrope among Devils.

And the timing wasnt even good either.

You see, I somehow cleared this chapter while walking on a tightrope through disgusting shitfest around me.

And this was the result.

[ Target Yuria feels severe despair! ]

[ Target Lucia feels severe guilt! ]

[ Target Eleanor feels severe powerlessness! ]

[ Target Faenol seems to want to ask you a favor! ]

[ Find a way to comfort them! ]

I felt cold sweat breaking out because of this sense of crisis.

This was strange.

I thought I did a pretty good job when it came to walking on the tightrope, so why was everyone in this state?

And what the fuck was up with the last one?

How the fuck was I supposed to fix this?

Someone please save me

You are here.

I was at a loss for what to do in the face of the system window that made me dizzy just at the sight of it. But then

The voice I least wanted to hear right now came from behind.

Turning around stiffly like an unoiled machine, I faced the person who uttered those words.

Riru? Are you healthy now?

Im healthy.

An awkward silence followed.

At a glance, she seemed no different than usual

But when I observed her closely

Something was a bit

Off.

She was someone who usually dressed neatly, albeit plainly, but now her clothes were a mess.

Due to it being disheveled here and there, more of her firm bare skin was shown than usual.

Perhaps it was just my imagination, but her face also seemed flushed.

For some unknown reason, she was sweating all over.

She definitely didnt look normal.

It felt like she had been forced into this state by something.

[Oooh damn, shes here. You agreed to be under her mercy for a day, right?]

[Thats why you shouldnt make promises so lightly.]

Why do you sound so happy?

[Promises should be kept. Good luck. You got this, Dowd Campbell.]

Shut up.

You! You, just shut the fuck up!

You dont look so good. Maybe you should rest mo

When I blurted out in haste

Hey.

Riru cut off my words.

She trudged towards me.

As she got closer, the strangeness became more apparent,

Her breath carried a mix of heated sighs and sweetness. The corner of her eyes were slightly drooped. Her gaze dripped with honey, as she firmly grabbed my collar.

There was a great sense of urgency in her actions.

Inwardly, I was sweating bullets as I watched her.

Im free today. And no ones in the room Im staying at.

Chills ran down my spine.

Do you want to come over and eat something?

Uh, Riru.

Come and eat.

No, like

Were you really going to invite me to eat?

You sure you werent going to eat me instead?
