Chapter 62 - Volume 5 Chapter 12 – Encounter with the Demon Lord (1/2)

I opened the door without hesitation.

Then, the appearance of the room came to my view.

This seems to be the audience chamber of the Demon Lord.

Many things such as flags of the Demon Lord are hanging down from the high ceiling,

and dozens of luxurious chairs are placed at the back of the room when dozens of people are likely to enter.

I’m used to seeing gorgeous stuff like this because of my father’s status, so this doesn’t affect me one bit.

The problem is the person sitting there. This was slightly out of schedule after all.

I thought the Demon Lord is more of a rough and tough guy, but this……

“What’s wrong, Elf Prince. Aren’t you coming?”

The demon Lord sitting down asked me in a sneering tone.

However, it was a beautiful woman. This is unexpected.

Flowing silvery hair, light brown skin.

A body so attractive that it wouldn’t yield to a succubus’.

And although not as much as Glinnis, she’s also wearing quite an extreme attire.

“Hey, are you listening?”

Did she think of my silence as distrust towards her? Knitted her brows in unease.

“Ah, my apologies. I was so fascinated by such a beautiful woman like you, your Majesty”

“Fascinated? Ahahahaha, you’ve got quite the guts”

Though I said it without any fabrication, she seems to have thought it was a joke.

“But I wasn’t lying about it? Among the women I have ever seen, it’s just so difficult to take my eyes off you”

Both her features and her body are pretty much my type.

Well, lately I’ve been meeting those kinds of women recently.

“You’ve got the good tongue, but even if you do anything, the results will not change”

The Demon Lord declared, watching me.

She watched me with eyes that are completely hostile to me. Negotiations will be difficult.

That’s what I felt, but I still tried to speak, even though it’s not a good sign.

“You may have already known, but I’ll still introduce myself. I am Allan vi Alling”

“I already know, Prince of Elves Allan”

As following my introduction, she named herself this time.

“I am Beatrice. The Queen of Lachmaheim, and the Demon Lord that rules over all demons”

“And the fact that you’re waiting for me means you already know my purpose?”

When she heard my question, she nodded, then spoke.

“You have been gathering branches of the King Trees of other counties to unite Algarde……or so as I heard”

“That is correct, and for it, we need your power”

I got close, with my arms outstretched to show that I don’t have any weapon.

However, the Demon Lord stared at me without moving from her presence.

“Peace is the most abhorrent thing for the Demons. It’s impossible”

“Is there any way around?! Is there something that we can do?”

“You’re too persistent……You can go now. Just be grateful for having the chance to speak with me in this way”

If she’s really motivated, she would probably be on the offensive, now that I realized.

“I appreciate the point, but I don’t want to end it somehow without grasping your intentions”

To be honest, I’m already quite tired from my actions being the succubus partners.

I’m not confident that I’ll win if I were able to confront with the Demon Lord here.

But I may not have the chance of meeting her like this again. I have to not let this moment go to waste.

“Then with me, why don’t we unite this world as one? Our fate lies by your own decision”

“The world as one……huh”

It seems that the change of words has caught her ears.

Then I’ll try to make her listen more!

“That’s right, to unite the world as one. Your name will forever be in books and statues of you will be made, and you will be a legacy!”

I tried to propose the other advantages and merits further, but the Demon Lord still doesn’t move.

Then with a bang! She hit the arm of her chair.

“Enough. I am not interested in such kind of things”

Having cut off all my words, she declared unto me this time.

“To tell you the truth, my purpose is the same as yours – for the unification of the world”

“Then this talk is – ”

“But, unlike yours, mine is different. For I truly intend to unify this world and make it into one nation”

She then gave a smile at me.

That smile is so beautiful, yet it’s also thin and cold.

My instincts are already screaming, that this is not good.

“My method, of course is the conquest by we, the demons ourselves”

“Conquest? But you have already defeated once”

“Yes, and at that time. We certainly did a bad job”

“And this time, you will end up being defeated by the Alliance. If that happens, then your Country will truly disappear!”

Humans will forgive a country that started the war twice.
