Chapter 138 The capital of demons 5 (1/2)
”my oh my, is this the castle?”
Mars gave yet another sigh
'she sure is excited'
”yes princess this is the castle, shall we go inside?”
”yes let's!”
Mars lead the very excited Velvet into the castle and quickly found someone to announce his presence to the king meanwhile they were lead to a waiting room were they waited for about 20 minutes until a knight came and escorted them to the audience room were Mars ran into a familiar person
”hello there kitty cat”
”HHHIII!!!”
letting out a scream Michelle ran away from Mars without looking at him leaving Mars looking rather awkward, he suddenly felt a cold stare and turned around
”what?”
Mars asked Velvet that was coldly 'staring' at him
”....nothing, just didn't think someone could actually be so tormented that they ran away from a person just by hearing their voice”
”well... she did try to kill me”
”....if you say so”
”well she did and she was not nice about it, so there you have it: try to kill me and one might end up slightly traumatized”
”....if you say so”
Mars waited with Velvet a few more minutes before they were allowed into the audience room Mars as usual didn't knell and neither did Velvet, she simply picked the sides of her traditional demon dress and bowed slightly to the king while she introduced herself
”my name is Velvet, I'm the current crown princess of Froset, the capital of demons”
”well meet Velvet, let's move to a slightly better location and talk”
”certainly”
the king gave a nod to Mars with eyes filled with gratitude before he left with Velvet, Mars gave a slight smile before he turned and left with Victoria, once they was out of the audience room his way was suddenly blocked by a group of knights
”you sure it's him Jim?”
”yeah I'm sure”
Mars gave a sigh before he asked
”just to be sure you're after the bounty right?”
”damn right!”
”just quietly hand over your head to us”
Mars gave yet another sigh and put a hand on the hilt of his sword
”you guys know I have just done your king a great favor and this is how you repay me?”
”who cares about that?”
Mars smile widened as he saw that the knights eyes were blinded by greed and mumbled
”you should think this was the capital of demons...”
Mars didn't care to look at them any more so he simply activated [Instant movement] and... knocked them all out with the back of his sword
”why... didn't you... kill them?”
”well because I'm sure that when the king finds out what they have done they will live a life worse than death”
Victoria's eyes brightened as she looked over the knocked out knights again and nodded her head
”I see... Mars... you're... so smart”
”why thank you Victoria”
Mars kneeled down and petted Victoria on the head until a maid passed by
”excuse me miss maid”
”yes, what is it?”
”could you inform the king that this group of knights just tried to kill me?”
”...they did what?”
”tried to kill me and take my head as a trophy”
”....I-I see, I'll have someone bring them to the dungeon at once”
”thank you”
after Mars thanked the maid he and Victoria wandered around the castle for a few hours before a maid found them and informed them that the king had finished talking with Velvet
”I see, thank you”
”please follow after me, lady Velvet is waiting”
”sure”
Mars and Victoria followed after the maid and soon they reached the outside of the room were Mars had talked with the king last time, the maid gestured to the door before she gave a bow and left, Mars opened the door and walked into the room were the king and velvet was drinking tea
”your majesty, princess”
”oh Mars there you are, I heard about what happened be relieved the offending knights will be stripped of they titles and thrown out into the streets”
Velvet stopped sipping her tea and showed a surprised expression
”my oh my what happened Mars?”
”well...”
Mars took a seat and poured himself some tea before he spoke
”some of the knights ganged up on me and tried to kill me”
