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

He was overjoyed to hear human voices.

It seems they won't have to go down in the demon race's history for starving to death.

At the same time, she cries loudly, befitting her current baby persona, to attract attention.

Suddenly, he realized something, and his crying stopped abruptly.

Wait a minute, I've been reincarnated as a demon, and humans are mortal enemies!

The pair of demonic horns on his head are the best proof of his demonic identity.

He knew very well that if a demon baby fell into human hands, it would not have a good ending.

How to do?

As the footsteps drew closer, he became flustered, racking his brains for a solution.

The pair of demonic horns on his head were too obvious to hide.

As an infant, he was unable to move easily and had no chance of escaping the humans in front of him.

Are you helpless? Are you just going to let the person in front of you grab you and face an unknown fate?

But he was not going to give up. With a gamble in mind, he immersed his consciousness in the Demon King's legacy to see if he could find the knowledge to solve the current situation.

He re-entered the space of consciousness, but he didn't know how time compared to the outside world, so he had to find the answer as quickly as possible.

Open the Demon King's Legacy and infuse it with the intention of "concealing one's demonic identity" as a selection criterion, while hoping that the Demon King's Legacy can provide an answer.

I've got it, this is it!

He suddenly opened his eyes, and the distance between the human and the person in front of him had not changed much before and after examining the Demon King's legacy.

It seems that the flow of time in the consciousness space is much slower.

I don't have time to think about that now!

He immediately followed the instructions in the Demon King's legacy and activated his own magic power... Wait, how do I activate my own magic power?

He sensed something was wrong and re-entered his consciousness space, filtering out the knowledge about activating one's own magic power.

Following the guidance in the Demon King's legacy, he felt a warm current flowing through his body to his head.

A sharp pain shot through his head, causing him to scream.

However, to the humans in front of them, it appeared that the baby was crying louder.

So, did it work?

He stretched out his now-short, white hand and touched his head for a while to make sure there were no demonic horns.

He breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed everything was alright.

At this moment, the human had come to him, squatted down, picked him up, and looked him over carefully.

"How come there's a baby here? Was it captured by the demons?"

The next moment, the human in front of them seemed to have confirmed this idea and called out loudly to his companions.

"Hey! Bright, Jess! Come quick, I've found a baby here!"

At the same time, while pretending to cry, he also sized up the human in front of him.

He had a similar appearance to the British people of his previous life, but his clothes were made of rags and were somewhat dirty.

He had some scars on his face, making him look like an adventurer.

Then, the adventurer gathered his companions and led him away from there.

……

After that, he was taken by these adventurers to the border of the Olmec Kingdom, where he was adopted by the Brant noble family and became their adopted son, named Grey Brant.

It took him six years to successfully master the language of this world, as well as some of the knowledge inherited from the Demon King.

This day in the year he turned six was a special day for Gray and the entire Brant family.

because……

"Master, Madam has given birth! It's a girl!"

As soon as the maid's voice came out, Gray's adoptive father, Ed Brandt, eagerly opened the door and rushed in.

“Ed…” the woman’s weak voice rang out.

Ed rushed to the bedside and gently embraced the woman, who was Gray's adoptive mother, Thris Brandt.

Ed, beaming with happiness, picked up his newborn daughter and brought her to his wife.

“Thris, take a good look, this is our daughter…”

After Thris took the baby girl, Ed's eyes were filled with tears, and then he looked at the people waiting outside the door.

"That's what Gray shouted."

"Grey, come in and see your sister too."

Upon hearing this, Gray also came in. Sensing the baby girl's lively cries, he stepped forward and touched her little head.

While Ed and his wife excitedly discussed naming their baby girl, Gray kept a close eye on the curse emanating from her.

This curse is a demonic curse etched into Brant's bloodline, meaning that everyone in Ed's lineage possesses this curse.

The effect of a curse is to suppress the cursed person's magic power, thereby affecting their magical talent.

Therefore, within the entire Brant family lineage, at most only a few knights can be produced, and since then, the curse has prevented any of their descendants from becoming magicians.

This curse was left behind a hundred years ago by the Brant family when they responded to the king's call and launched a war against the demons.

The Brant family distinguished themselves in that war, were ennobled and rewarded with land, and became nobles of the Olmec Kingdom.

But because of this curse, the Brant family gradually declined and now only has a remote border town in the Olmec Kingdom as its territory.

The Brant family, as a noble family, is now merely a name without substance.

While Gray, the current Demon King, cannot eradicate the curse in the Brant family bloodline, he can at least remove the curse from the baby girl before him.

The Brant family adopted him and raised him, so Gray was grateful and should at least do something to repay them.

Let's first lift the curse on this baby girl.

Gray channeled his magic into the baby girl's body through his palm.

His adoptive parents and everyone else present were ordinary people who couldn't sense the flow of magic, so he could act with a bit more impunity, since no one knew what he was doing.

As his magic flowed throughout the baby girl's body, the curse dissipated under the influence of the Demon King's magic, and Gray then withdrew the magic.

Gray is a demon king, and even human knights or magicians would find it difficult to withstand his magic. If the magic remains in the baby girl's body for too long, it will cause irreversible damage.

Anyway, it's all sorted out.

After accomplishing his task, he left without a trace, concealing his merits and fame.

It feels like it's already starting to resemble a Shadow-level powerhouse.

Looking at Ed and his wife, who were still excited, Gray began to have some plans in mind.

For Gray, whose body is still that of a child but whose mind is already that of an adult, life at Brant's mansion is too boring. He plans to sneak out tonight and see if he can do something befitting a Shadow.

Simply put, I'm so bored, I'm going out to party tonight!

To achieve this, he had already applied to Ed and his wife for the right to sleep in separate rooms. All he had to do was leave a fake body behind at night and sneak out quietly.

Tonight looks like it's going to be something to look forward to! ^w^
