Chapter 39: Law (1/2)

Lucifer and Asgo were currently walking down the hallway towards the exam site.

They didn't talk about anything, and it was because of that, the place was silent.

No, their footsteps were resounding out in this place, but that didn't really matter.

Anyway, the hallway was long and dark. It didn't have any lights on or any kind of fires hanging by the walls.

Of course, the two of the demons currently walking didn't have any problems seeing through the dark.

However, it was really weird to see that there were no lights or fires considering that this place was the site of the exam.

What's more, the princess herself attended this place. It was only natural that the place should be more beautiful and worthy of the princess' presence.

Of course, Lucifer knew that which is why he was suspicious of this place and the hallway itself.

After all, there's just no way the people in charge of the exam would just leave this place alone.

That was why he spoke to ask a question to the demon right behind him.

Of course, he asked without even looking back, and he just continued walking.

”Asgo. Why is this place dirty?”

”This is supposed to be the exam site of all the academies present in this kingdom.”

”The princess of the kingdom is also taking part in the exam.”

”I find it hard to believe that a part of this place would be so unclean and filthy.”

Although Lucifer said that it was unclean and filthy, it was actually not.

It was plenty clean, and one could probably live in here with it being the same as it is now.

However, it is certainly unclean and filthy if one is from royalty.

And the princess is royalty. If the princess were to see something like this, it was only natural that she would find this place unclean and filthy.

The reason why Lucifer was able to spot that is because he himself is royalty.

No, he is more than royalty as he was god himself, but well. He could still be counted in that category.

Anyways, when Asgo heard what Lucifer said, he quickly spoke to answer Lucifer's question.

Although it seems that Asgo...was fine now, he was not. He was still feeling the fear, and that was why he wanted to prove something.

Asgo didn't know what he wanted to prove, but he knew that he could prove it by answering quickly with precise answers.

It was weird if one thinks about how Asgo didn't know what he wanted to prove, but he still did it.

Anyways, this is what Asgo said.

”Lucis...there is a reason why this place is dirty.”

”Although it is correct that this place should be cleaned because of the princess' presence in this place, it didn't really matter for the ones in charge.”

”The princess was expected that she would pass the Demonic Origin test, and she would go to the Royal Academy's test right away.”

”The test that we had just before was just a formality for her.”

”And it is because of that, this place is not cleaned.”

”After all, the princess doesn't need to pass through here.”
