Chapter 125: The Demon Lord Does Not Trust Blindly.

Lilith watched Rosavellt flick her sword to get the blood out and she could see the pained expression there. Is Rosavellt feeling bad about this? Why? Lilith couldn't imagine any of the demon lord's household feeling bad about killing the demon lord's enemies. It should be normal.

But no matter what, Lilith can only wonder about it since she is just a slave. Andromeda sent me here to help heal the injured and that's what I'll do. If I try to question Rosavellt, I know I'll be killed without remorse. Lilith looked towards Rosavellt again and she saw that Rosavellt was now looking in the direction that the undead was running. Rosavellt's hand was tightened around her sword and there was great tension in her body. She looked like she wanted to run after the undead. But after some time, she turned around and started to make her way out of the battlefield. Lilith wondered what was on Rosavellt's mind at that moment. Lilith knew that she wouldn't be happy if she was the one cutting down other succubi, but then again, she wouldn't allow any of her people to do something so stupid. If any succubus tried to go against the demon lord, Lilith knew she would kill them before things could get out of hand.

Rosavellt moved through a portal and she arrived back at the demon lord's castle. She took a deep breath as she walked into the main hall. She could already feel Floid's eyes on her and she knew that he knew she was here. She came back to report on how the battle was proceeding but she felt very nervous for some reason. Rosavellt knew she hasn't done anything wrong, she followed the demon lord's orders perfectly, but Rosavellt still couldn't help the nervous feeling she felt.

She was walking towards her room to get herself freshened up before she would see the demon lord since she cannot go to see the demon lord with blood on her body. But before she could reach her room, she ran into Alucard in the hallway. He was walking hurriedly towards the opposite wing of the castle and Rosavellt asked him what was wrong.

For a moment, Rosavellt thought that he wouldn't tell her. Alucard looked at her with narrowed eyes and he waited for a few seconds before talking.

"There was a pulse of Mana that surged across Aradite recently, I am sure you felt it too. There have been other pulses, but this was the largest one in the last month. The demon lord suspects that a new hero had been summoned. The demon lord ordered us to find out the identity of the hero. He made this the number one priority for all members of the household,"

Rosavellt narrowed her eyes immediately. If this was the number one priority, then does that mean she has new orders?

"I'll start to search as well?"

Rosavellt said this and she turned around to walk back to her room quickly. She knew that this was important. If there was a new hero on Aradite, it was obvious that they were here for the demon lord. She can leave the battlefield for now. This has to be the number one priority.

Alucard spoke up before she could leave.

"No... None of that. The demon lord has ordered you to continue following his former orders. You are to remain on the battlefield and finish this fight against the undead,"

"The undead army are likely to continue their attacks for a long time. Our current tactics are allowing them to preserve their army and they won't bother to leave since they have not suffered any major losses. Dulla is not a reasonable person and under conditions like these, she won't retreat no matter what,"

Floid thought that Rosavellt would still be protecting her people but at least she was smarter than that. Rosavellt loved her people, but she wasn't stupid. She knows that things won't change because the undead refused to change.

Floid saw that she wanted to say something. He could see the tension in her body and he knew that she wanted to ask him for permission so that she can go and help with the search for the hero. It was important for her to find who the hero was because she knew that the hero was a direct threat to the Floid. But Floid won't make any changes to his plans. He already sent Dragonnel and Alucard to handle the hero so Rosavellt doesn't have to worry about it.

"And what about the demon army? I know this tactic must be straining them. Do you think they will rebel soon?"

Rosavellt nodded. She could easily see the stress that the demon army was going through. The army wanted to chase down and kill all the undead whenever they start running, but Rosavellt was ordered not to chase them down. This was making the army very agitated and most of them were no longer fighting at their best anymore.

Rosavellt knew that there was a small part of her that was grateful to the demon lord for his orders. A lot of her people were still alive because the demon lord didn't make her kill all of them.

But this tactic will definitely let to a rebellion against her.

Rosavellt still had that stoic look on her face but Floid knew that there was a great turmoil in her mind. She was very confused about where she should be standing right now. Should she stand by the demon lord who she swore to serve to save her people or should she stand by her people who she swore to protect? It was up to her.

Floid dismissed her. He knew that it was only a matter of time before Rosavellt makes her decision.

"Good work, Rosavellt. Continue the attacks as I ordered and make sure that the undead doesn't pass through the capital. Rizi is working there and she doesn't need any distractions,"

Rosavellt wanted to say something to Floid about the conversation she just had with Alucard. She also wanted to help out in discovering who the hero is. But she knew that Floid wouldn't listen to her. His dismissal was final and she had no choice but to obey. She just turned and left. Rosavellt was worried. She knew that the demon lord was locking her out from the search. She was one of the best when it came to reconnaissance and she would make things much easier. Rosavellt could easily sneak into Uta and find out who the hero was without any trouble! The only person that can do better reconnaissance than her was Andromeda. But even with all her skill, the demon lord was making Rosavellt handle the army instead of the hero. Rosavellt finally realised the problem.

The demon lord does not trust me.
