After what happened in the throne room, Eno and I move to a new place where we can talk in private, preferably a guest room. She sits on the edge of the bed with a pout while I just stand in front of her with an apologetic face.
“Being treated like a recluse child is the last thing I want you to do to me…”
“Recluse child or not, what I did was the worst thing I could show you. Bloodshed, it is the only one of the few things I am good at admittedly.”
“You don’t actually want that, no, you don’t want that to be as it is…dear brother.”
It is as Eno said, even I am a little confused if that’s the thing I wanted to. In any case, I had no other choice if I want to rush everything without hindrance. Leading with an iron fist is the fastest way I can deal with all those problems left behind by Demon Lord Baal and things that greatly troubles Cattleya.
I am no leader material and I am not good at granting forbearance and forgiveness, however, should time calls for a drastic measure, I can offer my very own cold-heartedness.
I am a fool for letting Cattleya carry the burdens for all these years, and more so, to let her be exposed to those fools with dark aspirations. Should they be successful with their plans, they are going to have a free rein to destroy the Demon Kingdom from inside.
“What do you want to do now? I bet no one would dare to defy the immortal vampire, not now that you’ve shown what you are truly capable of.”
“As I said earlier, this world is about to face a great crisis and we, the demons, must help the cause of saving it. We can’t do that with these swine in control.”
“I see…then, dear brother, what of Cattleya and Diyu. I’ve been meaning to ask you that for a while now.”
“They are in good hands, probably better than this place. Asagao Lionheart will protect them.”
“Then, who is this Asagao you are talking about?”
Eno looks at me with a sharp glare. It’s not that I hate this about her, more like I find it charming but, this definitely won’t turn out good.
“Don’t look at me like that…”
“I don’t know…maybe that’s your woman or something!”
“Eno…that’s an eleven years old for god sake!”
“And aren’t girls of that age…presumably, has a better quality of blood?”
“Eno…Asagao is Mrothgir’s disciple. Not only that, she is also a divine being. She is the girl who is destined to help this world to avert the crisis that is about to hit our world.”
“That’s even harder to believe. Dear brother, what is really going on? I am going to help you with all I’ve got so don’t leave me out.”
“Of course Eno, I am happy that you are willing to help and understand me.”
I have no intention to leave Eno out in the dark about this situation.
With what I experienced from the start up to this moment, all of the thing that I witnessed and heard of, I held nothing back and kept nothing unturned. It was fun to watch Eno changes expression from time to time.
At the end, as I conclude the whole story about Asagao, the Revision, the Devils, and even the existence of an impossible enemy, Eno just took a deep breath and close her eyes to process everything that I said.
A minute, two minutes, three minutes, until I waited for a whole good twenty minutes as Eno tries to process everything. It will be a little hard for her to second guess everything for the very reason Eno is a living of this world.
Reincarnators, summoned heroes, and those who are influenced by those two are usually the one who believes such stories as they are already given knowledge, however, someone who is from this world has a different set of values, morals, and even philosophy.
After breaking her train of thought, Eno looks at me directly in the eyes.
“Dear brother…my beloved husband, I’m sorry but everything stills as hazy as it can be for me, but, I trust you. I am going to trust you, not what all you’ve said. I am going to help you because you need help. That’s the only thing I can guarantee…”
“Eno…”
“I am sorry if I cannot comprehend it. Do you dislike me now…?”
This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source.
“I’d never hate or dislike you Eno. You don’t need to understand everything. That’s only natural as everything doesn’t follow common sense in this world anymore.”
“Dear brother…”
“Eno…”
“G-Gria…”
“Eno…my dearest…”
I take Eno’s hand and kneel down in front of her. As I gaze at her rounded and attractive eyes that I never get tired of even after hundreds of years passed, Eno also stares back at me.
I can feel my heart warming up as her gaze turns from a glossy one to a more passionate and desirable. What kind of a fool am I not to apologize sooner to this woman?
I’ve delved myself into my own world because of my attachment to my previous life, however, I think I can actually delve into my hobbies and be lovey-dovey with her at the same time. Thing is, she doesn’t like my culture.
¿Por qué?
Doesn’t matter right now as all that I can see now is my wife Eno in front of me. I have lost all of my sexual desires and urges long ago but, as soon as Eno looks at me with those eyes, I can feel my very being as a living man begins to bloom again.
I firmly hold her hands and slowly pull my face towards her. Eno then closes her eyes and waits for it…
Slowly…
Slowly approaching those delicious lips…
Slowly…
“Ehem!”
A voice suddenly shook me and Eno and our body jerks simultaneously. Eno and I nervously turned around to the door and saw him, Balrog.
“I was told that the two of you are here. I didn’t expect the two of you getting hot with each other…”
“Balrog…”
“Even if I am just your stepson in the paper, I am still embarrassed by this.”
Balrog is a son of mine and I have adopted him in Hellbeing household way back. He was just a little calf back then and now, he stands even taller than a small house. It was quite an experience to take care of a bull as your child.
A bipedal bull mind you…
Since the atmosphere between me and Eno got disturbed, we immediately let go of each other's hands and stands up side by side as we walk towards Balrog.
“Well, I see that the two of you have already made up. So, father, what is going on? Did you really taken over the throne by force?!”
“I have Balrog, I have. And just perfect that you are here, no, that’s not sarcasm!”
“Father…”
“I want to tell you what I told Eno but I have more pressing matters for you to take care.”
“What could it be now?”
Balrog’s eyes have some skepticism of my words, however, no protest was said or complaints. After having a little thought to his self, Balrog nods.
“Then, what do you want me to do?”
“I want you to go to Niflheim and take over the place temporarily. Pull out a huge amount construction workers and prepare a lot of materials for constructing a fortress.”
“What are you planning with that father?!”
“Where are going to siege the center continent and this is our first and last chance to rid us of those devils.”
“I see…”
“Lirin will assist you.”
“Got it. I will go now. Mother, see you later.”
Balrog bows a little at Eno and she just nods from Balrog’s gesture. It’s a little mystery for me of how Eno and Balrog got along. Though, I am glad that Balrog respects Eno as his stepmother.
Balrog left with thundering steps as he rushes out.
After Balrog’s step can’t be felt anymore, Eno tugs on my sleeve to get my attention. Of course, my head turns towards her.
“What are your initial steps now?”
“Military forces of course. Those who are experts in combats and magic are also going to be called. Within two days, I want to rendezvous and amass a huge amount of combatants.”
“Dearest brother, what about transportation?”
“I already have that covered. Asagao sent some ships for us to use. Well, I doubt that there’s going to be sufficient supply of resources.”
“And…that’s where I come right? You want me to manage resources and treasury.”
“As expected of my beloved, you are right.”
Eno has always been capricious with her work, however, at the same time, she is keen and intellectual when it comes to office work. Management of the resources would be an easy walk for her and alas, it is a work far from the frontline…where I myself will be present.
What dangers does the devil can bring? What are the chances that they are powerful enough to defeat me?
I am not confident of my abilities but I am confident of my knowledge of my abilities. Since the appearance for the devils many years ago, I never experience defeat from them but their presence is extremely hazardous to cities, towns, and small villages.
“Then, shall I take care of the funding too? Since you already have the authority, I may as well use that influence to an extent.”
“Right, I’ll immediately have all of those nobles that I killed to have their properties seize for wartime reasons.”
“You…sound like a corrupt official.”
“I am a tyrant Demon Lord. A word such as corrupt is an understatement now. I might as well take it over the top.”
“Dearest…”
“Eno…do you want to continue where we left off?”
“In this situation?”
“……”
I had Balrog to rush things but here I am, trying to be lovey-dovey with Eno right now. I guess I can’t blame myself with such woman in front of me.
Eno looks at me with those same passionate eyes earlier as she pulls me towards the bed. She pulled me by the neck as she lay down on the bed. Right now, I am on top of Eno and her gaze becomes even much stickier and lovelier as her face slowly lit up in red blush.
“Eno…”
“Gria…”
Gracias! Time to dig in!
I slowly pull my head to pluck those delicious cherry lips. Eno’s embraces my body to fully accept my approach.
However…a strong magical presence then washes over us.
Our back straightens immediately and looks at the source. As we turn around again, a warp manifested itself from thin air and from it, a woman with violet hair and robe appears from it.
I think I know this woman but I don’t remember her being this powerful…
“Ah…you are…”
“Oh…did I…just disturbed something really romantic?”
“Well…”
“I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to.”
“Ahahaha…”
Oh fate, stop playing with my heart!
I glance at Eno and she has this same disappointed look on her face.
Ah, it seems her mood starts to drop too… and she looks at the woman with a sharp gaze.
“How impudent…”
“I am truly sorry for being a nuisance, however, I am here for an official business. My name is Violetta and I am here in replacement for Ashfon Astlan Lionheart’s absence.”
Ah, yes, Ashfon Astlan Lionheart’s party member. And if my memory serves me right, she is also Mrothgir’s lover and the child that he took in two hundred years ago.
She turned into a fine woman with a bountiful bump.
“Oooff!”
A dull pain on my flank suddenly overcomes my senses. I frantically turn my head to Eno and met with an enraged glare. I can already tell what those eyes for! It clearly says where are you looking at?
I really can’t do anything about it now. She tends to get easily jealous. Though a little scary, it’s adorable.
“Ahehehe…I can’t help it.”
“Brother!”
“Sorry…”
I got embarrassed in front of Lady Violetta.
But since she came for an official business, I cannot just chase her away.
“Anyway, you said official business but this is hardly the place for this kind of talk.”
“The location is irrelevant now. From what transpired in this place, I deemed you to be in the hold of power now, Lord Gria Hellbeing, a friend of Mrothgir.”
“It is as you said, I have already taken over.”
“I see, that’s better, better than giving Cattleya such task.”
“So, what do you want to talk about?”
“Assistance, Alliance, Transportation, and even additional resources, I am willing to have a talk about it. It is to enhance relationships between the human and demon continent.”
“Ohhh…this talk huh?”
Suddenly, the atmosphere swayed to a more serious tone as the talk was brought up.
