"Who else, of course that demon princess~ Aster Lucifer, demon princess of your clan right?" Hein casually said.
It was only just for an instant but the demon girl's eyes became wide eyed and her body trembled.
Hein didn't miss that.
"Y, you... how did you know her? No, y, you're lying!"
The demon girl stared wide eye at Hein, she was spellbound and surprised.
"Well, whether you believe me or not is up to you. Besides, I don't know where she is right now so I can't really give you to her. What I want is to free you from here and carry my message. Tell her my name, Hein Vilestone, she will
surely immediately responds."
The demon girl hesitated for a moment, and then said softly, "Release me"
"First promise to not go commando~"
"Commando?"
"I mean to not crazily attack me."
"I... promise."
The demon girl responded.
Hein give out a light smile under his mask and immediately freed her from his joint lock. He then slowly stood up and took the demon girl's hand to help her to stand up.
"... How do you know the princess?" The demon girl wearily asked.
Well, she can't really be blamed, after all she didn't know Hein's true motive.
"... Well, we go way back~" Hein casually said while carefully dusting his clothes off with dirt.
"Way back?" The demon girl was bewildered and then she looked at him with wide opened eyes and slack jaw before shouting,
"You mean you are her lover!!!! The demon princess actually has a human lover!!!"
Her voice was so loud that it can even be heard outside.
However, the one whose bodies really tensed after hearing this were the three girls waiting outside the cage. Their various facial expressions were so unsightly but no one knows what they were thinking at all.
Hein who heard the demon girl's words was stunned and then as if he have suddenly thought of a good prank, smiled mischievously and said in low voice.
"Yeah, anyway she and I were secret lovers so don't shout it out. I loved her the first time we met but as you may know, the demons and humans have a really, really bad relationship so she broke up with me. She said that if the human and demons reconciled, we might be able to marry each other. So right now I'm trying my best to reach that goal."
Hearing Hein's confirmation, the demon girl's eyes sparkled.
A love story torn by racial differences yet trying their best to overcome it... such a good story, if you're not interested to know how it ends then you are not a girl...whether you're a human or not, love story is always the best earrings for girls.
"Really? I, I see... so that's why the princess never look at the men in our kind. It's because she already have a
lover! Much less a human!"
The demon girl said excitedly.
She then looked at Hein as if she was assessing him and said, "Although you are strong but I still haven't seen your face. Come; let this big sister look whether you are really good for the princess. Come on, take off your mask!"
The demon girl's ordered really make Hein felt speechless.
What do you mean by Big sister!? You aren't my big sister at all! Screaming in his mind, he still took off his mask for a second and then put it back again.
The moment the demon girl saw his face, the sparkle in her eyes immediately brightened nonstop. It's as if she was a dog who saw a tasty bone, she was even drooling.
"No wonder the princess loved you, you're not only strong but you're also super handsome! Okay, I will carry what
message you have. No need to worry, this big sister will make sure that it will reach her!"
After such scene, without knowing whether to laugh or cry, Hein brought the girls outside the slave shop.
Hein gave a big cloak to the demon girl to hide her face and race. When they walked out the shop, the shop manager's jaw nearly touch the ground after seeing the demon's obedient actions and behavior even without the slave contract.
Hein after all didn't want to attach those unforgivable things to a girl! Leaving the gob smack shop manager, the group made their way back to the [ Iron Maiden Guild ].
At first, Ashley was somehow agitated and shock about a demon walking together with them. The demon even talked intimately to Hein as if they were old friends.
She wanted to attack and immediately kill her as she was a knight but Hein warned her not to hurt the demon girl.
She was baffled at first but Hein told her everything he knows about the situation.
Regarding about the one horned crimson demon clan not being an enemy and a princess being an acquaintance.
Well, of course Hein omitted the fact about the assassination part; Ashley might go nuclear to the demon girl and him.
He only told her that, even though the demons are her enemies but she must not be confused as to who really her true enemies now.
Ashley's real enemies should be the one who wanted to revive the demon god and no one else. Although he still haven't had any lead or clues about who the enemy really is, he still needed the help of some people... just like the demon princess who have some authorities towards the demons.
After all, he might have any use for it~
Stolen story; please report.
Ashley didn't want to believe him but she after all still a knight who served loyally to her master. She still reluctantly obeyed his will.
As Hein and the group was walking towards the [ Iron Maiden Guild ] a cute 'gururu' sound resounded.
When Hein look back, he noticed Fale blushing while averting her eyes and whistling without a tone. Looking at her,
Hein couldn't help but laugh.
"W, what!? I, it's not me you know! I, it must be... yeah, this knight girl must be hungry! Hmm, this girl is the one who is hungry not me! Got that!"
"It's not me!"
Hearing Hein laugh while looking at her, Fale became even more bashful and tried to push the blame to the one beside her, Ashley who immediately became embarrassed.
Without responding to their internal debate as to who let out that cute sound, Hein led the group to a restaurant near the plaza.
Hein ordered some chicken soups, salad, breads and enough meat barbecues for the group.
Although it seems like the demon girl love eating meat so he ended up buying a lot of meat barbecue and soup. The other world waiters seemed very competent as they quickly brought the dishes onto their table.
Iona wanted to sit in Hein's lap so he allowed it.
When Hein took his mask off and started eating, Fale who saw his face for the first time couldn't help but gasp in awe.
She couldn't believe how dreamy and handsome Hein was.
Seeing the surprised on Fale's face, Ashley and the demon girl smirked and raised their chest proudly.
If not for the warning Hein told to the demon girl that she should not tell anyone aside from the princess that they are lover, she would have told them immediately while bragging.
When Hein started eating, Ashley and the two newcomers followed.
The demon girl stuffs herself with meat barbecue until her little mouth was filled to the brim.
At first, Fale eats with all her might while still being reserved but then after a few while, just like the demon girl he stuffs her mouth will all the food she can eat.
Since Hein was not really hungry, he held a bowl of soup and a spoon in his hands. Hein then feed Iona, even gently blowing the hot soup before feeding it to her.
From the third person's point of view, they really looked like a real father and daughter.
"Oh by the way, what do you want to say to the princess?" The demon girl who suddenly remembered put her spoon down on the table and asked Hein.
Hein in Father Mode, softly and gently blow another spoon of soup and carefully fed it to Iona.
"Just tell her, 'Meet me, keep your promises.' just tell her my name; Hein Vilestone, she'll understand it."
"Meet you in this kingdom?"
Hein paused for a moment and then said with a profound look, "I will be waiting for her at the place where we first
met under the moonlit sky. The place where we first exchange greetings."
The demon girl as well as the rest of the girl seemed to misunderstand his words. They looked at him with restless faces but he ignored them and continued feeding Iona on his lap.
After they finished eating, Hein wiped Iona's mouth.
Iona who was very happy being feed by Hein, smiled while looking at the girls around her. Her smile blossomed on her rosy, adorable little face was like a radiant morning sun which was filled with happiness and love.
Her doe eyes blinking with joy.
The girls who saw her couldn't help but felt extremely jealous. A very handsome man like Hein treated her very dearly and lovingly, that made anyone felt jealous to the heavens. They didn't even thought how silly they came to be.
How can they feel jealous to a little girl?
After paying the food they ate, Hein and the group left the restaurant.
Once outside, Hein and the others bid the demon girl good bye. Hein believes that with her abilities she can easily passed through the kingdom's guards... in the first place, no one except them know that a demon race like her was
inside the kingdom so she will most likely leave very easily.
After separating from the demon girl, Hein, together with Iona, Ashley and Fale walked towards the [ Iron Maiden Guild ].
It wasn't long before that the blue ocean colored door of the building where the [ Iron Maiden Guild ] was renting appeared before them.
When they entered the place, the one who greeted them was the fuming yet anxiously worried Marie who seemed to have stayed beside the door waiting for him.
"Just where the heck di-" came Marie's frantic voice when he saw him; however the final word caught in her throat as her eyes fell upon them. They grew large in disbelief.
"What is it, Marie? Did the lover boy finally came back?... Oh! There you are! We've been anxiously looking for you know! Why did you suddenly dissap-" Angela said behind Marie.
When she saw Hein and the others, she immediately greeted them but she was then cut off by Marie's strange cry.
"M-meirin!?"
She was immediately startled but when she turned back and saw Marie's expression she noticed that her pretty face looked like she had a stroke.
She looked almost frightened.
