The Hero in Exile

Walking to the other side of the city, a territory slightly larger than a large tribe was cleared, and the flag of the Demon King's army was flying above the gate.

"I never thought that there would be such a place since then. To be honest, I am very grateful to your Orc King." Moran was filled with emotion when he saw the fluttering flag, and his words came out of his mouth with a choked voice.

"Lord Darkley and Lord Lunster are here. Welcome to your presence. I will open the door right away. By the way, are the two behind you also our compatriots who were rescued?"

The demon guards at the door seemed very happy to see Rest and Dakli's arrival. Moran thought that it was because Rest had rescued them and Dakli had taken good care of them.

Moran walked out from behind the two of them. The demon guard was stunned at first, rubbed his eyes uncertainly, opened his mouth for a long time but couldn't utter a word, his eyes quickly turned red and his legs instantly became weak.

Moran grabbed his arm just in time.

"It's okay. I know it's a little surprising, but there's no need to get so excited."

"Demon... Demon Lord, is that you?"

"It's me. I'm back."

The guard steadied himself with the help and looked around, didn't see anyone looking at him, and quickly opened the door. "We still have a chance now that the Demon King is back, but we can't let these outsiders know about this, it would be bad if it got to the ears of humans."

"Please come in, Lord Demon. The people will be very happy if they know you are still alive. It is too noisy outside so it is better to talk inside."

Lingyu looked at the guards and saw how they admired the Demon King so much and there seemed to be no barriers between them. It seemed that he was indeed a very good king when he was the Demon King. Seeing their close appearance, he subconsciously lowered his hood.

"Who is behind the Demon King?"

Moran suddenly thought of something and spoke quickly.

"This is a friend who helped me when I was on the run. It's not easy for her to show her face when she's being hunted by her enemies."

"Since you are helping the Demon King, you are our friend of the Demon Clan. Please come in."

Hearing Moran defending himself like this, he subconsciously glanced at Moran with his peripheral vision, and then his mood became much more complicated, guilt, regret, ignorance? He didn't know, but he felt very uncomfortable.

Lunster and Dakli, who were standing by, saw that Moran said so but did not expose him. Lingyu felt that everyone's eyes were on her, and she followed behind Moran with one hand pinching the corner of his clothes in an overly nervous manner.

No one said anything as they walked into the demon territory.

"Everyone, look who this is, come and see the Demon King, he's back!"

As soon as they entered the door, the guards could no longer contain their inner joy and shouted to people. At first, no one believed it very much and only a few people came to watch the fun. Later, people who wanted to join in the fun also joined the guards.

Seeing more and more people coming over, Lingyu instinctively stepped away from the crowd. It seemed that they really loved their monarch.

"Mom, will Dad come back?"

"It will definitely happen, just like the miracle that happened to Lord Demon, just like Lord Rest found the Demon King outside."

"Lunster, take him to a room to rest first, Dakli, come with me, Lingyu, you wait for me..." Moran disappeared in the crowd before he could finish his words.

"Then Miss Lingyu, come with me first."

Lunster noticed what was in Lingyu's mind. They were enemies not long ago, but now he was deceiving them and asking them to treat him with courtesy.

"Ms. Lingyu, I really wanted to kill you before, but I didn't have any emotion. I just wanted to fight you. You may have realized that Lord Moran and I don't have much bad intentions. Maybe it's really like Lord Moran said that we are on the same front now, so we treat you like this, so don't take some things to heart."

"Lunster?"

"It's nothing, just my soliloquy. We demons are not that stingy, so for your health's sake you should have a good rest."

After saying that, Lunster opened the empty door next to him, still with a kind smile on his face.

After closing the door, Lingyu lay paralyzed on the bed, turned over and looked at the ceiling.

"But how can one not take it personally?"

In the middle of the night, Moran asked Lunster about Lingyu's residence. Lunster showed a cheering expression and gave Dakley a thumbs up.

"I'm here, huh? Lights off, are you asleep?"

Moran walked quietly to the bed and thought that since she was asleep, he should also get some rest as soon as possible.

Moran slowly lay down on one side of the bed while thinking this. She heard some noise coming from the other side of the bed. Was she making such a loud noise while sleeping?

In just a moment, Moran felt something soft against his back, and his stomach was suddenly hugged. What...what was going on? It suddenly came close to him.

"Moran, why are you so nice to me? We both wanted to kill each other before, and those people's family members must have served in the army, but I'm here enjoying everything. I feel bad looking at them... woo woo."

Moran felt a small wet spot on the back of her clothes. It turned out that this was the reason why she was always so depressed.

"Didn't I say it a long time ago? If you say so, then I am the one who deserves to die the most. I started the war, and I killed human soldiers, too. Of course, we all want to kill each other, right?" Moran turned around and looked into Lingyu's eyes. Moran reached out and wiped away Lingyu's tears with his fingers: "If you are willing to help the demons now, then we are friends now, right? So don't feel so burdened."

"Thank you, Moran."

Lingyu buried her head in Moran's arms, and Moran's heart was beating so fast that he almost couldn't control it.

It’s okay for Haomi to change the cover.
