What was a coronation for the demons in the demon empire?
Nothing special; it was just the demons accepting the new demon lord.
Yes, acceptance.
That was all it takes for one to become the demon lord.
But gaining the acceptance of the four demon generals was not an easy task; rather, it was something that could cause the death of the person trying to get it.
Once you get their support, however, things will be different.
Power is supreme for the demons, and who was stronger than the four demon generals in the empire?
Until now, there was none.
So, just the fact that the demon generals accepted a person as the demon lord was enough to get them that position; there was no need to prove their qualifications.
The one who doesn't agree with the demon lord would be dealt with by the archdukes.
No one wanted to be 'dealt' by the archduke, so no one would voice out against the demon lord; simple as that.
That was until now when the demon generals were the strongest.
But now that there was a demon ancestor who was stronger than anyone could even guess, things were different.
The power dynamic in the demon empire was shifting a bit.
The shocking thing, however, was that even the demon ancestor seemed to be in support of the new demon lord.
This was enough to settle the matter of Alex being the demon lord.
People wanted to test Alex by getting him to open the ancient door made of wood from the Tree of Life, but they were now unsure if it was really Alex who opened the doors.
However, the demons, who were still not satisfied, kept it to themselves; speaking out now would only mean death.
They just did as the new demon lord of theirs asked for.
All of them stood up straight and looked at the demon lord, who was now relaxing on the throne with one of his arms resting on the armrest and the other on the waist of the woman on his lap.
Many demonesses, who were already charmed by Alex and were heads-over-heel for him, were chewing their nails in envy as they looked at Luna.
'How could she maintain such expression?!'
The fact that shocked them more was that Luna still had a straight face; not even a tinge of red could be seen.
If the demonesses from the crowd were to sit that close to Alex, they felt like they might lose consciousness.
The royal families and the high nobility, on the other hand, were thinking of ways to get more information about the demon lord.
They were all aiming for the upcoming feast to observe the new demon lord, talk to him, get to know what type of person he was, and maybe test his strength.
As for the ancestor...
The man, however, failed to notice that his acting was seen through by Alex.
The man was trying to appear scared, but Alex noticed it in an instant.
Alex was a good actor, so he could tell if someone was acting or being real.
Even the minute change in his expression was noticed by Alex.
The frown that formed between his brows the moment Alex's eyes met his, and the delay in him averting his eyes.
So Alex kept staring at him.
Slowly, but surely, everyone started to notice a weird tension in the air.
The first one to notice was Azaroth, as he had been observing Alex for a while.
Then it was Luna, who was stealing a glance at Alex's profile.
Both of them followed Alex's line of sight, and they saw the pair that Alex was staring at.
The demon generals were the next to notice the anomaly in Alex's behavior.
The man in question, the first protagonist that Alex was going to face, also realized that something was wrong.
The girl, on the other hand, was still oblivious to everything; she was busy with her thoughts.

'Did he think of me as a cute girl?'
'Did I look different to him?'
'Is he going to call out to me?'
The girl, just like any other girl would, started imagining many scenarios.
But before the protagonist could think of something or the girl could continue with her thoughts, a voice was heard.
"You...."
Alex's lips moved while the demon generals and the demon ancestor frowned.
This was going to be the first confrontation between Alex and the protagonist.
Till now, he had been the protagonist, and maybe that was why things were so easy on Gaia.
Let's see if it will be the same on Eldoria.
