The maid squad is too strong, what use is there for me, the Demon King?

"His Majesty!"

Not long after Gray left with Beta in his arms, the guards of the Emerald Palace rushed over, because the source of the magic barrier was right there.

Those who came to rescue him, or those who simply came to investigate, all saw the fear on Elandir's face.

As the Elf King, Elandil naturally always had guards by his side.

However, the guards around him, like Elandil, were unable to move under that terrifying aura, and had no thought of saving their king.

The arriving guards exchanged bewildered glances; it was the first time they had ever seen Elandir so terrified.

The high and mighty Elf King made direct contact with the source of the purplish-black magic light barrier.

What exactly happened to cause such a massive magical light screen?

It took Elendil a while to recover, but he still looked dejected, as if he had aged a thousand years in an instant, and he could no longer feel the kingly aura of an elven king.

Elendil waved his hand and instructed his guards, "Inform the people that there is an emergency. I... I need to convene a council. Time is of the essence, so hurry!"

"Yes!"

After the guards withdrew to gather the subjects, Elandil raised his still slightly trembling hand and gave a bitter smile.

That shadowy figure must be a demon king; he couldn't think of any other possibility for the black-robed man's identity.

Even the Demon King couldn't explain it, but no Demon King had ever been able to suffocate me like this, and I still feel lingering fear.

In front of that man in black robes, he couldn't muster any thought of resistance. He almost couldn't even utter the self-designation "I, the lonely one," which he had been using for thousands of years.

He seemed to recall the fear he felt when facing his father, the emperor, when he was still the crown prince, but this fear was far less intense.

His own daughter has really gotten involved with someone extraordinary.

With such a demon king emerging from the demon race, the entire continent is likely to be turned upside down.

Can the confrontation between humans and demons, which has remained unchanged for thousands of years, still be maintained?

Was I wrong?

His attempt to please humans backfired, but he ended up receiving help from the demons instead.

The rise of the Demon King, who calls himself the Shadow Demon, could truly cripple humanity from this point on.

Perhaps I should choose a side...

—————————————————————

Holding Beta, Gray leaped into the air and left the royal city of Erin. Throughout this journey, he could feel the infatuated gaze of the white-haired elf girl in his arms.

Just like a pink-haired succubus licking her lips, he read in Beta's beautiful eyes that she wanted to devour him.

Gray could only pretend not to see it and led Beta away from the royal city of Erin until they stopped.

"Beta, I'm going to put you down," Gray reminded the girl in his arms.

Beta.exe is not responding.

Grey didn't know if she was truly infatuated or just wanted to stay in his arms a little longer.

He couldn't possibly slam Beta to the ground to wake her up, could he?

Gray's blockhead has been completely opened by Capa.

The way she was infatuated in his arms, the way she welcomed Lei's kiss and then, finding it just a test, became dissatisfied and came up with "kiss, lick, coin, understand?" The whole process was smooth and effortless.

Gray could only conclude that Beta's actions were entirely related to romance.

Therefore, it's necessary to have a serious talk with Beta.

Let's talk! I'm the invincible "giant of conversation," I can talk about anything!

But first, Beta needs to come out of her madwoman state...

"Ahem, Beta?"

Beta still looks like it's frozen.

It seems we need to increase our efforts.

Thinking this, Gray reached out and pinched Beta's pretty face hard a few times.

The skin felt smooth and delicate; it seemed this girl took good care of her face. He had been wanting to pinch it for a while.

"Diamond...sir?"

After her pretty face was thoroughly ravaged, Beta finally turned on successfully, her flawless face covered with a blush of shyness.

The forced restart was successful, and Gray gently put Beta down amidst her reluctant gaze.

"Beta, do you like me?" Beta's CPU, which had only been turned on for a short time, was overheated by Gray's direct question.

Both of them knew the answer to this question, but Gray still hoped to hear her answer in person.

The atmosphere instantly became awkward. Beta fidgeted, but her intuition told her that she couldn't remain reserved any longer, or she would miss a golden opportunity.

Beta took a deep breath, her cheeks still flushed, and stammered, "Yes, I like you, Lord Shadow..."

As you know, I have a father who raised me from birth to be a tool for political marriage.

I escaped from Saint-Tian and was rescued by you in Olmec.

You took me in and brought me warmth. It was only after living with the other sisters that I truly understood the warmth of home.

However, the subordinate was greedy and wanted to crave even more warmth.

I am no longer satisfied with being just a subordinate; I want to go further and truly become the possession of Lord Shadow.

Whether I am a concubine or have no official status, it doesn't matter.

Please let me be your woman!

After saying that, Beta stared intently into Gray's eyes, awaiting his reply.

Gray felt his heart pounding wildly.

Good heavens! A stunningly beautiful elf girl is begging to become a member of his harem. No goblin could resist such temptation, right?

Honestly, he was tempted.

He's such a jerk; he fell for all of Eiota, Kappa, and Beta's heartfelt confessions.

The first time was when she became engaged to Eiota, and the second time she had an improper relationship with Capa. So what about this time?

Gray sighed softly, then changed the subject.

Before I give you an answer, let me ask you another question.

Beta was a little unhappy about Gray's sudden change of tone, but she knew that Gray didn't intend to get away with it, so she reassured herself and told herself to wait patiently.

"Beta, do you want to be the Elf King?"

!

Such a statement, which would change the entire Kingdom of Saint-Tian, ​​was uttered so casually by Gray.

Having come to understand what kind of person the Elf King was and how corrupt the Saintian royal family had become, Gray was already making these plans.

Rather than letting such a guy continue to rule, Gray felt it would be better to recommend one of his own to govern the elven race.

The person he intended to recommend was, without a doubt, Beta, who had the blood of the Saint-Tian royal family.

As for how the subjects viewed the princess who had run away from her arranged marriage, that was not the issue.

After the Shadow Court helped quell the rebellion, it was revealed that the Shadow Court's assistance was entirely at the behest of Ivy Wendy. It is believed that there will not be much opposition to supporting Beta to the throne.

As for Erendir, he could be given a dignified abdication, such as passing the throne to his daughter.

Now, the only thing left to consider is Beta's wishes.
