“Something happened little girl?” this old man asked me, as he looked at me.
This stupid knight, married a succubus. I knew that he was stupid, but he is living in hell right now!
“Rowan you idiot! I was so worried about you!” I shouted, and everyone looked at me surprised.
Morgana looked at me, as if I said something stupid. Arthur didn’t knew what I was saying. The demon lord just smiled after a moment, and this stupid old knight just looked at me with wide open eyes.
“Y-You know my name? I don’t remember ever meeting you…”
“Shut up you stupid idiot! I thought that I won’t see you ever again!”
“Wait, this way of speaking… It can’t be… It can’t be! The spell worked?!” he shouted, as he looked at me. After that he started laughing.
He recognized me! Wait, how did he…
Anyway, it’s good that I met him, but there is one problem. One big problem.
“What spell?” Arthur asked, with a stupid face.
He doesn’t know. What will I do? I can just tell Rowan to shut up, but I want to talk with him. Well, it’s not like I like him! I just want to talk with acquaintance, that’s all.
While I was thinking, Morgana looked at me, and as if she understood me she looked at Arthur.
“Arthur, I think we should let them talk somewhere.” she said, and the demon king started laughing.
“I think I can roughly understand what is happening here. Don’t worry about me, just go and find yourself a few rooms. The castle is big, so it shouldn’t be a problem for you. I think Rowan will show you the way.” demon king said, and smiled at us.
After that we left the throne hall. Rowan took Morgana and Arthur to their rooms, and after that I went with him. We weren’t talking at all.
It was weird for me, because I had a lot to talk with him, but it didn’t seem like he wanted to talk for some reason.
I understood it in a moment, when we approached a familiar room.

“Vyliana, can I come?” Rowan asked, as he knocked on the door.
She didn’t respond, so after a moment Rowan just opened the door, and when he did we saw something we shouldn’t.
“Y-You idiot!” I heard Vyliana’s loud scream.
It seemed that she didn’t change her clothes yet.
We waited for a moment, and then she opened the door. She was wearing a black dress, similiar to that, that her mother was wearing.
When we entered the room Rowan started speaking.
“It seems that you know this person.” he said, and pointed his finger at me.
“Yeah, this is my master!” Vyliana said, and smiled.
When she did, Rowan looked at me a little angry, but after that he continued speaking.
“Anyway, won’t you leave us for a moment? I want to speak with this person.” he said, and Vyliana just looked at him disappointed.
“Okay.” she said and opened the door.
When she left, Rowan looked at me. He was staring at me for some time, and even patted my head. After that he loudly laughed.
“I-Is it really you, William?!” he said, while trying not to laugh.
“Y-Yeah…” I replied, a little disgusted.
“You look younger than ever… hahahah!”
It wasn’t even funny. What are you talking about?
“Don’t be like this William! Let the old man touch you! Aren’t you cute?”
It was a mistake. I shouldn’t speak to him.
“Die you mongrel!” I said, as I hit him in the head. It didn’t make a lot of damage to him, but it calmed him down a little.
“You didn’t change William.” Rowan said, and smiled.
After that we sat together, and started talking. I told him everything about my journey. How I met Morgana, Arthur and Vyliana. How both his daughter, and this knight don’t know that I’m really just an old man. How I tried to ask Rossie for help, and how I’m looking for something, with a lot of mana.
He listened to my story, without saying anything, and after that he started scratching his head.
“Are you a pervert William?”
What?!
“Don’t look at me like this. It’s you that is lying to my daughter, and this knight. It’s not like I care, but I didn’t knew that you are a per…” I didn’t let him finish his sentence.
“Hey! There is no reason to hit me! Anyway, it’s good to see you again William.”
“Yeah. I told you everything, so you will do the same. Why did you disappear?” I asked, and he looked at my embarrassed.
It must be something stupid.
“You remember how I invited you to my wedding? After it ended, I went with my wife to meet her parents. Of course I was scared, but I thought it’s something I should do. It wasn’t that bad, so I decided to stay here for a moment, but…” he looked at me with pain in his eyes “everyone was wearing those revealing clothes! I didn’t knew where to look!”
Yeah, it’s stupid. I don’t want to listen to this.
As I looked away, Rowan stopped speaking, and smiled at me.
When I tried to think about something to talk about, we heard a knocking on the door. A beautiful woman came in, but when she did Rowan hid behind me.
