Aunty Loves Her Niece! (2)

Midnight.

A mage from the Walpurgis family arrived.New novel chapters are published at novelhall.com

It was Brigittes oldest sister, Friede.

I will open a portal to the guard encampment near Pandemoniums border.

The White Mage, Friede, calmly explained the location of the portal. It was too risky to open one directly inside Pandemonium, the land of demons, she said.

Gate.

As the mage lightly uttered an incantation, a wavering portal gate appeared before my eyes.

Beyond it, the kingdoms flag and soldiers were visible; they must be the border guards near Ordor Kingdom.

Cariote spoke.

What about the way back?

Use this Gate Scroll. The Junk Mansions coordinates have been inscribed on it so you should be able to open a gate to return from wherever you are. But itll only work once.

A magic scroll.

A very expensive item.

Having said that, the White Mage passed the scroll to Cariote and then turned her eyes to the horned demon, Astarosa.

And this is?

My younger sister.

Though Cariote had answered without hesitation, Friede seemed to have trouble grasping the idea of a demon being her sister.

Then she looked at her own sister, Brigitte, as if she had something to say, but turned away in the end and spoke.

The gate will soon close so you should hurry.

I see.

Better hurry up, then.

Dad, come back safely!

As I was about to pass through the gate, Naru hugged my leg.

It was about 23 minutes after midnight.

Though it was past her bedtime, Naru came to see me off, rubbing at her sleepy eyes.

Thanks, Ill be back.

Voooom

I waved to those who were staying back and walked into the gate.

Myself, Cariote, Astarosa, and finally, Cecily.

With this unusual group of members, the journey to Pandemonium had started.

Whos there?! This is a military station of Ordor Kingdom! Identify yourself!

Shing Clack

Immediately after coming out of the gate, spears and swords were pointed at me.

Ordors soldiers.

Calm yourselves. We have a kid here.

* * *

I am Guardman, the commander of this company guarding the border. You can just call Commander. Its an honor to be seeing you again, Judas.

The commander of the company invited us to his office and treated us as guests. He seemed to know me but I didnt recall any middle-aged man named Guardman.

Everyone in armor and helmets looked the same.

During the war with Pandemonium, I was part of the battle on the Plains of Karchen. I witnessed you in action from afar. You were amazing then.

Plains of Karchen That was where Queen and the Penitent Swordsman, Alcatraz, went head-to-head in a battle of death. That fight was indeed kind of amazing.

As I reminisced, Cariote asked the commander.

We are looking to enter Pandemonium. Will you open the borders?

To the land of darkness?

The commander raised his brows at the unexpected question.

Then his expression turned serious, and after a look around, he asked quietly so that only we could hear.

Is there some kind of problem? Such as the rumors of the Demon Kings revival being true? Is it also why King Ordor commanded soldiers to be stationed at the border?

We learned in school that all demons were evil but she was very good at making tea. It seems that not all demons are bad.

Cecily said this quietly as we walked in the dark.

She must have been restless after 10 minutes of silence.

I gave a bit of insight regarding that.

Well, propaganda is common during wars to portray the opponent as evil.

Propaganda?

Maybe it was too difficult a word for Cecily.

I simplified things.

Not all demons are evil. Its only that Pandemoniums barren and insufferable environment makes people desolate, so they generally become bad.

If Pandemonium were to be described in a single phrase, itd be survival of the fittest.

Perhaps finding my explanation difficult, Cecily scrunched her face.

But then she spoke as if she caught one thing.

The Head Maid Belora said no one bad can make good tea. That soldier was a demon but she must be a good person.

But Cariote spoke to Cecily sternly.

All demons should die. A good demon is a dead one. Cecily, do not sympathize with them. They will crush and plunder you.

It was a harsh statement.

Hearing this, Astarosa snorted but didnt argue.

Was it because we were now approaching a forest?

Grrrrr

Garrrrr.

There were many animal sounds coming from the woods.

They seemed to have already noticed our presence.

Pause.

Astarosa halted.

How much do you guys know about Pandemonium? Hey, kid, what does your school teach about it?

That its a country where bad demons live?

Well, thats half-right. The bad ones do live here. But Pandemonium isnt a country; its just land.

What does she mean that its just land and not a country?

As Cecily and I couldnt understand, Astarosa kindly explained.

Theres no actual king in Pandemonium. No one wants to be a subject so its just everyone constantly against each other.

Everyone fighting against everyone.

That wasnt what I knew.

Cariote spoke.

Ive fought against the forces of Pandemonium. They operated as an army and invaded nearby countries. Were you not one of them?

That was only possible because of our king. Sabernak brought together all those who were scattered and formed a nation. Of course, everything has now gone back to what it was.

I see.

She was saying that this distinguished figure, Sabernak, appointed himself as the Demon King and brought order to Pandemonium.

The problem was that he used that to invade other nations.

But I understand now.

A barren land like Pandemonium had no other means for resources except by invading other kingdoms.

As I pondered this, Astarosa spoke while gazing at the trees scratch marks.

Isnt it interesting that this perilous land once held the most prosperous city and made history? Anyway, were now entering into the territory of the Beast King.
