Chapter 359: Usurp The Throne? Why? (1/2)

”I'm not. Aezel became my maid after I met her in the capital city,” Lawrend replied.

”Fufufufu. Nice to meet you again, Reon,” Aezel said with a smirk on her face.

”You demonic bitch! What did you do to Lawrend!?” Reon shouted in anger.

”Master is… My Master,” Aezel replied as she kneeled on the ground and lifted Lawrend's shoe before licking it.

”A-Aezel…”

Lawrend stared at her in a fluster. They never talked about doing something like this. He felt so embarrassed and fulfilled at the same time that he was confused about it.

”L-Lawrend… Did you really?” Reon asked with his eyes bulging widely.

”Y-Yeah… Don't ask why she licked my shoe, though,” Lawrend replied awkwardly.

Even though he normally acts confident, getting your shoe licked without getting prepared for it was something else. No one would be able to stay calm in such a situation.

Aezel smiled at Lawrend and stood up from her position.

”As you can see, I'm Master's maid. If you are not my Master's enemy, you also aren't my enemy,” Aezel said.

Her words convinced Reon. After all, demons are known for their pride. If she was able to lick Lawrend's shoe, that would mean that she really surrendered herself to him as his maid.

”Disgusting masochist,” Ramiela commented from the side.

She stared at Aezel with a face full of disgust. She recognized Aezel as a Fallen Angel that could be converted back to an Angel, and yet she licked a human's shoe. All of her hopes for her evaporated in that instant.

”Fufufufu. At least, I'm true to myself,” Aezel retorted.

”Guhun–!” Ramiela twitched in shock. She felt like Aezel struck something in her heart.

”What does she have to do with it then, Lawrend? Don't tell me you're planning to use her to betray humanity?” Reon asked with a solemn look on his face.

”Why would I even do that?” Lawrend asked.

”There are a lot of cases of humans betraying humanity,” Reon replied.

”I don't plan to do that. I want you to support me in my coup,” Lawrend replied.

”Coup? You're gonna usurp the throne?” Reon asked as he looked at him with disbelief.

”Yes. It may not look like it, but Aezel here is as strong as an Earth Mage. We can easily take the throne from the king. We just need your support to speed up that process,” Lawrend explained.

”Really? Then don't involve me.”

Reon looked at Lawrend skeptically. It was hard for him to believe that an Earth Mage would lick Lawrend's shoe. After all, they should be something that only Empires should have.

Not to mention, Aezel was only as strong as an Arch Mage the last time they fought. He doesn't believe that she could become that strong in less than two months.

”I'm worried that the cities would rebel, and the kingdom might get split in half. If that happened, there would be many casualties. I just want to prevent any of that,” Lawrend explained.

”So you're worried for the citizens of the kingdom, yet you're usurping the throne?” Reon asked and gave him a weird look.

”Well, it's not my idea. The Third Princess wants me to take the throne, but that's impossible unless her two elder brothers died,” Lawrend replied.
