Chapter 224: Archduke

224 Archduke

It was after midnight that the master of the mansion returned.

It is a young man.

However, because the unlike the Human race the Demon race is long lived, I can not tell his age by appearance.

When you considered his very quiet atmosphere with his youthful appearance, it may be that his age is considerably greater than his appearance suggests.

「It’s been a long time. Demon Lord.」

The man kneels down before the Demon King.

Though he keeps calm on the surface, his heart seems to be considerably frightened.

If I listen carefully I can hear his disturbed heartbeat and my nose takes in the scent of his strained sweat.

What did you do that you’re so afraid of this disappointing Demon King?

「Thank you. Wasn’t work busy?」

「Yes. However, considering the Demon King has returned, I rushed to give you priority.」

The Demon King gives the man words of appreciation laughingly with a smile.Findd new stories at novelhall.com

The man is surprised to see the Demon King like this and makes a dubious expression.

Ah, I see.

Is the Demon King this man knows the Demon King before she became a disappointing Demon King?

Oh, Would you still be surprised if I didn’t come and change her?

The Demon King before becoming disappointing did not talk too much and her atmosphere was completely different.

「Then, because there are children you do not know, could you introduce yourselves?」

The Demon King urges the man.

The man stands up, lowers his head and begins his self-introduction.

「This is my first time meeting you. I am entrusted with the management of the Demon territory capital, I am called Balt Fisero. A pleasure to make your acquaintance.」

「You should rely on this fellow if there is something you need, because Balt is an Archduke working as the mediator of the true Demon race.」

Fuuun.

In other words, with the exception of the Demon King, he is the top of the true Demon race.

That explains why I’m getting a considerably strong signal from him.

Even peeping at his soul I understand he’s considerably strong.

I have heard from the Demon King that it is a breach of manners to Appraise someone face to face.

I assumed he used appraisal based on my intuition, did he refrain from doing it face to face?

If that’s so it’s possible to hide and appraise secretly.

Should I give a little warning?

I don’t give a damn even if he appraises me, but it’s not good that the Vampire child is also appraised.

I open my eyes a little.

Balt trembles in surprise when he sees my eyes.

Aa-ah, he’s scared, he’s scared.

As well as a gross appearance, because I played tricks to cheat you a little you feel afraid.

Let’s name it ‘Evil Eye of Panic’.

「Because you’re looking, don’t look」

I only say that.

Despite the wording being a little obscure, I seem to have conveyed it to Balt.

He nodded while dripping cold sweat.

Satisfied with his attitude, I close my eyes.

It’s clear that Balt is relieved.

I won’t say that I’m sloppy.

A butler and a maid of the mansion also see my eyes and fall down.

It’s impressive enough able to stand without losing consciousness.

Hey, was the effect of the Evil Eye too strong?

Oh well.

We’re going to remain acquaintances with the archduke leader of the Demon race called Balt this way.

A few days later, the vampire child was admitted into the school, the Demon King went to the Demon King’s castle and Mera was assigned to the fourth army.

I saw them off from the mansion.

I think I’ll make this mansion a base for the time being.

I have Balt make an entry permit for the Demon King’s castle so that I can enter anytime for the time being.

Well, I’ll kick up my heels alone for a while and will act slowly.
