Chapter 102 - Earth Hwanmong Defense Army’s 7th Commander (1) (1/2)
(Ohh! Unbelievable! Driana...! You are still alive.)
His voice conveyed his emotions. However, Dekail’s eyes widened as she heard it.
“How do you know my original name?”
(Don’t you know your brother’s name?)
“Brother? What nonsense are you saying?”
(I am Sud. I am Sud, the second son of our father, Sautan. You are the youngest child, Driana.)
Dekail exclaimed with a shocked expression,
“S-such a thing! I can’t believe it. My older brother, Sud, died a long time ago.”
(The Second Demon King lied. I was trapped in the Aok and wasn’t killed.)
He continued speaking,
(As you probably know, I was crazy about alchemy. As a side effect of an experiment, I lost my flesh and became a shadow.)
At that moment, Sud briefly changed into his original appearance.
(Do you remember? My original appearance?)
It was only briefly but the face of a young man with purple hair and white skin appeared and disappeared. If the eyes and nose were slightly thicker, he would be almost identical to Dekail.
“Ah.”
Dekail’s eyes widened with amazement. The face was just like a fantasy.
It was the same as someone who had remained in her memory for a long time.
Her eyes shook. She was convinced that Sud was her brother.
”But why did you become his subordinate?”
(Lord saved me from the Aok.)
“Is that what happened?”
(I was about to lose my own life from despair and solitude in the Aok. However, I was able to find a new life by meeting Lord Lucan. You will also receive it if you follow Lord.)
Dekail nodded. She was able to understand how Sud became Kang-jun’s subordinate.
She smiled softly and said,
”However, I am the Second Demon King’s subordinate. I am his eternal slave until he releases me.”
Then Kang-jun, who had been listening quietly to the conversation, finally opened his mouth.
”Don't worry Dekail! If you follow me, I will free you from the Second Demon King.”
Kang-jun smiled gently at Dekail.
This was good.
He had been on the verge of killing her.
After Kang-jun learnt about Sud and Dekail, Kang-jun received a special message.
[Dekail isn’t a sincere follower of the Second Demon King but became one through intimidation. Moreover, she is shaken by her brother Sud’s words.]
[Your charisma is enough to attract Dekail. If you accept Dekail as a subordinate, she will devote herself to you with a willing mind.]
At that moment, he saw a strange light appearing from the Demonic Dragon’s Ring on his left hand.
Just like last time, it was clear that the Demonic Dragon’s Ring was harmonizing with something.
Kang-jun welcomed it.
Regardless of if Sud was her brother, it was very encouraging to be able to take an advanced lord as his subordinate.
Additionally, the mission would be completed automatically just like the previous times.
A message also appeared in front of Dekail.
[Sovereign Lucan’s words are true. If you recognize him as your lord, the Second Demon King Colladikus can no longer bind you.]
[The special power of Sovereign Lucan will cut off all bindings between you and the Second Demon King Colladikus.]
”No way! How is this possible?”
Dekail trembled with a confused expression. Sud cried out anxiously,
(Driana! Why are you hesitating? As you know, the Second Demon King Colladikus killed our lord. You have been forced to give him your power but now you can escape from him.)
Dekail nodded immediately.
“You are correct. I hate the Second Demon King. He caused me so much pain.”
Dekail trembled at the thought. After hearing her words, Sud wrapped his arms around Dekail’s shoulders with a sickened expression.
(I can guess completely what happened but now, you can forget the past and live a new life after joining Lord’s household.)
Driana was close to tears at his words.
She couldn’t remember how many times she had been subjected to all type of insults and torture due to being defeated.
Even so, the Second Demon King was her lord and she couldn’t resist. If he died, she would just die as his slave.
Being able to break the curse seemed like a dream.
She gazed at Kang-jun with teary eyes.
”Is it really possible for me to escape from the Second Demon King if I join your household?”
Kang-jun smiled.
“Of course. You will no longer be Dekail, the Second Demon King’s subordinate. Driana! I will call you that.”
Then Driana approached Kang-jun and kneeled down. She kissed Kang-jun’s shoes and said,
“I am the lowly demon, Driana. I want to come under the authority of the great Sovereign Lucan. Will you accept me?”
“Okay. From now on, you will part part of Sovereign Lucan’s household.”
Kang-jun continued with a solemn expression,
“But remember one thing, Driana. You are no longer a lowly being. For me, you are a very valuable and precious person.”
Then Kang-jun laughed and extended his right hand.
“Kiss my hand in the future. Don’t kiss my feet.”
“Ah.”
Driana looked impressed. Did the Second Demon King abuse her so much that she was impressed about kissing his hand instead of his feet?
At that moment, Driana kissed Kang-jun’s hand lightly.
Kang-jun wiped away the tears on her face and said,
“You’ve suffered all this time.”
Driana smiled brightly at him.
