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

I recall the night Xita appeared.

It was a night without stars; the sky seemed to be soaked in ink, devoid of even a glimmer of light. The moon hid behind thick, dark clouds, leaving only a blurry outline, as if fleeing the impending storm. It was a dark and stormy night, filled with an atmosphere of mystery and fear.

A biting wind howled through the dark forest, like the whisper of death. Trees swayed in the wind, their branches like ghostly arms, dancing wildly in the air, trying to seize any creature that dared to trespass. The leaves rustled in the wind, a sound like a low curse, the whisper of ghosts, or the wails of thieves' souls.

As night fell, Gray's black robes fluttered in the wind, his imposing figure in the shadows exuding a powerful sense of oppression with every gesture.

Gray and his Shadow Court forces wiped out several bandit camps.

Seeing that it was getting late, Gray decided to return to the Brant family mansion and was about to leave.

Under the bright moonlight, a figure dressed in pure black stood in front of Gray.

She was a girl with black hair and black eyes. More striking than her graceful figure were her pair of black and red demon horns, which symbolized her identity.

These two horns extend gracefully from either side of her hairline on the top of her head, like the finest sculpted works of art, their curves smooth and powerful. They are composed of a finely lustrous black substance, hard and smooth in texture, as if meticulously polished from the finest obsidian.

A few bright red accents adorn the jet-black horns, adding to the allure of her unique demonic horns.

"Demon clan..."

Gray's first reaction was that the visitor was up to no good.

Humans and demons are mortal enemies, and the demons have disappeared for many years. How did they suddenly appear in Bifeng Territory, a poor and remote place?

Although Gray is the Demon King, he has long since hidden his demon horns, which are the most distinctive feature of the demon race.

He could reveal himself again, but there were a group of maids watching behind him, so it wasn't appropriate for Gray to reveal his identity in front of them.

The demon girl slowly approached, and Gray secretly channeled his magic power, preparing to deal with the suddenly appearing demon girl.

However, Gray did not sense any hostility from the demon girl and immediately relaxed.

The demon girl advanced until she was only a few body lengths away from Gray, then knelt on one knee.

Um... what's wrong with this girl? She knelt down as soon as we met, is she proposing?

"Your subordinate greets the Demon King."

As soon as he finished speaking, it was as if a storm had suddenly broken out on a calm surface of water. Gray knew something was wrong.

broken……

Gray silently observed the reactions of the people behind him, but their reactions were much more subdued than Gray had expected.

Humans and demons are the only true enemies; other races have only a normal relationship with demons, neither friendly nor hostile.

Therefore, we only need to focus on the reactions of Alpha, Gamma, and Ipsilon.

But Gray noticed that the people behind her reacted in the same way. They showed no fear or confusion, but rather a sense of realization and understanding on their pretty faces.

Gray thought that the three little girls would have their faith crumble and their emotions collapse after they found out that the Shadow Lord they had followed for so long was actually the Demon King.

Little did they know that in the hearts of the three little girls, the words "Lord Shadow Demon" held an unparalleled position.

Humans and demons are mortal enemies, that much is certain.

But Gray appeared when they were at their most desperate and saved them.

Like a ray of light, it warmed them in the endless darkness, brought them hope, and pointed them towards the future.

The girls were already filled with gratitude, affection, and even secret crushes for their benefactor, and they didn't care that Lord Shadow was a demon king.

Originally, Lord Shadow Demon was only one character different from Lord Demon King, so what was the connection?

Seeing the three women's rather indifferent reactions, Grean breathed a sigh of relief and turned his gaze back to the demon girl in front of him.

"Demon King? I am now the leader of the Shadow Court. You should call me Shadow Demon."

The demon girl wasn't surprised, because every demon king would give himself a title, with the tenth demon king's title of Sage being the most well-known among the demons.

"Yes, Demon King... Lord Shadow Demon."

Looking at the demon girl who maintained a humble posture, Gray spoke:

"What's the matter?"

Between the few words, the deep voice carried boundless power, making it difficult for the demon girl to breathe, causing her to speak in fits and starts.

"Your subordinate... has come to escort the Demon King... Lord Shadow Demon back to the Demon Realm."

What?!!!!!!!!!!

Before Gray could respond, the people behind him erupted in chaos.

Gamma, with her purple hair, and Ipsilon, with her blue hair, each took one of Gray's arms, while Alpha stood in front of Gray.

The three women naturally did not want Gray to go back. Even if they had no hostility towards the demons, the demons would still be hostile towards them. They could not go with Gray, so they all stepped forward to show their resistance to Gray.

"Humanity……"

A hint of displeasure flashed in the demon girl's eyes, but she showed surprise after sensing the auras of the three women.

"You...have taken humans as your familiars?"

“Hmm.” Gray snorted softly. “My current identity is that of an adopted son of a noble family in the Kingdom of Olmec.”

Upon hearing this, the demon girl's small mind was filled with endless thoughts.

She seemed to realize something, and her pupils suddenly contracted.

The demon race is now weak, and its remaining strength is no match for humanity. Therefore, the Demon King plans to infiltrate the enemy's ranks, undermine their forces, and replenish the demon race's fighting strength while weakening the human side.

What a brilliant plan!

Before Gray could speak, the demon girl adopted a posture of sincere admiration and respectfully said, "As expected of the Demon King... Lord Shadow Demon!"

???

She seems to be imagining a lot of things...

Gray was speechless for a moment.

But that's fine too. She doesn't need to explain it to herself; she understands it on her own. Is this the legendary Dihua?

Despite being the Demon King, Gray had no intention of revitalizing the demon race.

Having lived two lives, he still subconsciously considers himself human. How could he possibly lead the demon race to fight against humans? He should try to find a way for the two races to live in peace. However, such a deep-seated feud is not so easy to resolve.

I should first take care of my own affairs and improve this organization of Shadow Warriors.

At that time, it will be much easier to fight against the demon cult or deal with the problems between humans and demons.

Wait a minute... isn't this just sending people to us?

According to the Demon King's legacy, the Demon King is the hope that leads the demon race, and ordinary demons will absolutely obey the Demon King's orders.

Gray decided to give it a try, so...

Gray stared at the demon girl before him, and for the first time used a commanding tone:

"From this day forward, you will become a servant of the Shadow Court, and you are given the code name [Sita]."
