3 – pitiful and pitiful

“G.. question..?”

At the words of the beautiful demon, I had no choice but to express my doubts.

Her attitude as if she had seen me before.

But no matter how much I rolled my head, I couldn’t help but think that I was seeing her face for the first time, let alone talking to her.

‘No.. Let’s say I was a demon who had a similar conversation with me in the first place, why did you die alone at the end? Except for the demon king who asked with the same feeling… !’

At that moment, one thing passed through my mind…

As a result, I had no choice but to automatically shake my head.

‘Ah what.. but that’s not it, how could the demon king who was fully armed with that black armor be such a wonderful sister…’

That’s how I automatically started to deny the thought that came to my mind for a moment, but…

Looking at me like that, she said in a voice that felt bold and dangerous.

“Don’t think of making excuses. Did you think that you would not have noticed if you fell on my knife? I’ll ask again. Why did you choose defeat so vainly just now?”

Her words seemed to bear the dignity of a monarch.

However, while listening to her story, I couldn’t help but be more shocked by the meaning contained in it than by such dignity.

‘Ah..no.. is that the real thing?

Her words and actions that I can’t think of other than that.

Regarding this, I couldn’t help but feel a fairly large gap between the previous battle and her appearance now.

It’s like the difference between a male lion about to hunt and a arrogant swan?

But this shock is short-lived,

Soon, I began to harden my expression as seriously as I could, recognizing that now was not the time to be idle.

‘First of all, in order to survive here, I have to shake my mouth as well as possible.

With that thought in mind, I revived my senses from when I was eating my eyes and began to analyze the character of the demon king in front of me as much as possible.

Aside from being frequently mentioned as the final boss to be defeated in the original work, in fact, at the end, only the background of being defeated by the hero came out and was the end.

Of course, there was no way to know exactly what kind of person she was based on the original work.

I was able to get a rough idea of what kind of person she was just by looking at her appearance so far.

A being who came all the way here to meet me just for the sole reason that there was something strange about his victory.

In other words, it seemed that he put a lot of importance on principles, and at the same time had some pride as a warrior.

‘Looking at this right now, I think it’s much better than those girls who abandoned people like devoted partners.

After quickly completing the analysis of the demon king,

I spoke in front of the Demon King, who was showing a cold expression towards me, laughing as if he was filled with despair.

“Haha… Did you notice it as well?… Well, I was thinking that someone like you would notice.”

“Answer the question. Why did you choose defeat? If you were a warrior, wouldn’t you already know? The strength of your party of warriors is stronger than that of Jim and the officers..”

“No, that is not so.”

“..What?”

Rеаd at ոоbӏеmtӏ.соm

Me who resolutely denies the words of the demon king.

As a result, the dark emotions of doubt began to bloom on the face of the demon king for a moment.

Looking at her like that, I said bitterly.

“Of course, we may have definitely had the upper hand in the power that can be seen at face value right away. But… from the moment we entered this demonic castle, we were already defeated. It’s not like strength or magic… From a basic trust in each other.”

“that is… What do you mean?”

The Demon King, recognizing that there is something in my words, carefully asks questions.

Seeing her like that, I spoke to her in a mixed voice.

“I… I was abandoned. To my colleagues who gave me faith and affection… ”

*

A warrior with an expression of despair in front of his eyes…

The words that came out of his mouth could be said to be truly shocking even to the devil.

“How could that… no matter how much you fell in love with another man, did you mean that you were planning such a dirty thing against a hero who is said to be carrying the continent’s fate?”

The warriors of the warrior party, who were enchanted by a man who was traveling together as a porter, and planned to use the hero and steal his honor for saving the continent in the end.

Even though they are demons called evil by human standards, trust between fellow tribesmen and colleagues is accepted as a noble thing that must be kept.

Nevertheless, the members of the warrior party, which is said to be the strongest power of the tribal union, were planning an atrocity to deceive and ridicule the warrior for their own benefit.

From the devil’s point of view, the situation is no different from those who call themselves clean and are pouring filth on their bodies.

At that time.. Looking at her, who was showing embarrassment for a moment, the hero said in a voice filled with deep remorse.

“Yes.. even if I think about it, it’s the dirtiest thing. Even though… I knew that their hearts were leaving me… but still at the end! As a hero, I came to the end believing that if I saved the world, then everyone would see me again! kuh… But.. but.. those guys eventually..!”

“… .”

A hero who reacts slightly with excitement while talking.

Seeing him like this, the demon king remained silent for a moment with a heavy expression on his face.

A warrior who tried to save the world by giving his all.

In his eyes, the world can only be projected onto his closest associates.

Just as warriors fight for their country, it means fighting to protect their families and friends.

In that respect,

The betrayal of such colleagues could be said to be like the world putting a knife in the warrior’s back.

Everything he wanted to risk his life for was rather betrayed him.

And… the Demon King could easily recognize how great the despair would be.

‘To be abandoned by those you trusted… is truly heartbreaking. Especially if you’ve dedicated your life to them…’

It was clear that she would feel the same way if she were abandoned by the people she had dedicated her life to protecting.

As a monarch, this is something she can be sure of as she has no shame in her life.

While sympathizing with the pain of this hero in front of me,

The demon king began to laugh bitterly in her heart about the biggest purpose she had come all the way here.

‘..As expected.. this sort of thing doesn’t suit Jim. I’ve been struggling, but…’

A hero who deliberately chose defeat even though he possessed greater power than himself.

Although the fact itself was questionable, apart from that, the demon king thought that it was necessary to seize this golden opportunity that existed in front of her.

Although they won against the strongest enemy, the warrior party, the battle situation of the demons was still unfavorable.

The tribal allied forces are still violating the border, and a large-scale offensive is expected in the near future.

And at a time like this, in her hands was a hero who was said to be the strongest being on the continent.

Even though he was the demon king with the strongest power among the demons. The hero’s strength was clearly one step above hers.

It was an undeniable fact that she could know through her senses even now, without the need to drag the fight to the end.

If a person like this were to be on her side.

In that respect, the demon king felt the need to attract the hero in front of his eyes to their side even if he had to spit sweet flattery, although he was not very reluctant, and he had actually considered various things to put this into practice.

great wealth and power. or even women.

I thought of conciliating him on the condition that any human would be tempted,

If things didn’t work out, he was counting on the comrades who had left him and ran away, putting him into despair and then corrupting him.

But… at this moment,

The demon king was in the process of withdrawing his dirty thoughts of trying to use the hero.

Although their races and social statuses are different, even she, the demon lord, can understand…

No, because he is the Demon King, he is a hero who has suffered miserable things that he can’t help but touch more strongly.

To such a brave man, the Demon King felt sincere sympathy.

So, instead of conciliating the hero, she decided to give him what he really wanted at this moment.

‘A clumsy appeasement is nothing more than an insult to this pitiful and pitiful person.. As a last respect, it would be his most desirable thing to give him a clean and honorable death like a warrior’s..’
