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

Do you want to save more people?

Suddenly, a deep voice echoed in my mind.

"who?"

Aliceville was startled by the sudden sound and grabbed her staff, looking around to find the source of the sound.

She looked around for a while, but couldn't find anyone else hiding in the room.

There shouldn't be any place in this room where someone could hide, so trying to find the person by listening to the sound wouldn't work.

The sound came directly into my mind, like a sound that came from all directions, making it impossible to pinpoint the location by sound, or rather, the sound came from all directions.

As a fourth-tier mage, Aliceville has good perception; at least she is confident that she can sense anyone of the same or lower tier around her.

There was no one around, so the source of that voice must be at least a fifth-tier professional.

If the answer is the former, Alice would feel a little more at ease...

However, suddenly experiencing auditory hallucinations is not a good thing either.

If it was the latter, Aliceville swallowed softly.

Kids, this is not funny.

If there were a Tier 5 professional present who was hostile towards her, then she would be truly finished.

While Alice's mind raced, the deep voice did not sound again.

Just as Alice was calming down and thinking it was a hallucination, what happened in that instant caused her pupils to suddenly contract.

"Yes, it is a bit scary to talk in the dark, especially at night... It was my mistake not to consider that, and I apologize for that."

The voice that rang out again was no longer the deep, resonant one from before, but the magnetic voice of a normal adult male.

Although the voices are different, these two sentences indicate that the different voices are actually spoken by the same person.

At the same time, a man appeared in front of her without her noticing.

Aliceville wondered if she had blinked.

In the instant he realized what was happening, alarm bells rang in his mind. He raised his staff, poised to strike, his voice trembling slightly: "You... are you sent by Roderick Stiller, the Iron Wall King of the North?"

His mind raced. The most likely people he would encounter in Moonshadow Territory were Roderick Stiller's men, and it was easy to guess why the Iron Wall King had sent people to find him.

It's simply a matter of holding onto one's own royal bloodline. With Princess Aliceville Celestio of Westphalia as a hostage, the effect has been remarkable, both in negotiations with the royal family and in using oneself to boost morale.

hateful……

Aliceville had anticipated this situation; using her identity as the second princess when distributing relief food would easily attract attackers.

I was thinking of taking a gamble, and everything went smoothly until I safely arrived at Moonshadow Territory. Is this the end of the road?

Alice Vil gripped her staff tightly, ready to unleash her full magic at the slightest movement from the man before her, hoping to escape and avoid being taken hostage.

"Huh? Roderick Stiller, the Iron Wall King of the North?" Gray had no idea what the girl in front of him was imagining all of a sudden. He remembered that the so-called Roderick Stiller, the Iron Wall King of the North, was supposed to be a king who was stationed near Moonshadow Territory.

"I don't know you. If you want me to identify myself..."

Gray paused for a moment before saying, "He should be an 'outsider'..."

Not one of the Ironwall King's men? And who does "outsider" refer to...?

Alice was somewhat puzzled, but her vigilance remained undiminished.

Seeing Alice Villanelle's wary demeanor, Gray thought it made sense.

At this point in time, with the Kingdom of Westphalia in the midst of the War of the Eight Princes, and suddenly appearing in someone's room, it's normal to be on guard.

I did overhear a little bit of something, and if I felt like a stalker, there was nothing I could do.

Alice Villa stared intently at Gray, though it made no difference.

If Gray were hostile towards her, he wouldn't have swaggered in front of Aliceville like this; he would have ripped her head off long ago.

The flow is smooth and gentle; pain will not lead to immediate death.

Gray knew that if he took a step forward, the girl in front of him would attack, so he stood still and said, "Don't be so nervous, I have no intention of harming you."

"In fact, I can assist you. Don't you want to save more people?"

Gray used his shadow form to sneak into the room in order to find out what kind of person Alice Villa was, who was distributing relief food.

Aliceville is most likely to reveal her true colors when she is alone in the room, so it is more convenient to confirm her identity at this time.

Under Gray's examination, Aliceville didn't seem to be a cultist or one of the Eight Kings with any ulterior motives. She appeared to be someone genuinely concerned for the people of Westphalia and intending to save them from their suffering.

As for whether she is truly Aliceville Celestio, the second princess of the Kingdom of Westphalia, Gray cannot confirm that.

But regardless of whether the other party is truly Princess Aliceville Celestio of the Kingdom of Westphalia, or is merely using her as a title for their own convenience, for Gre, as long as she has the heart to save the people of the Kingdom of Westphalia from their suffering, that is enough.

Of course, the former is better.

If she really is Aliceville Celestio, the second princess of the Kingdom of Westphalia, then the next steps will be much easier.

Upon hearing "assist and save more people," Alice Vil paused visibly, then hurriedly replied, "Do you think... I might... believe that?"

Girl, stammering doesn't make any sense at all.

Gray shrugged and said, "Whether you believe it or not is your own business. It doesn't matter if you don't believe it or not. It'll just take a little more effort to find a different business partner."

Let me first tell you about the assistance I can provide.

Water, food, clothing, and other necessities for survival... It's unlikely that we could feed and water all the people of the entire Kingdom of Westphalia, but it would at least be enough to ensure that the people of the entire Moonshadow Territory would have enough to eat and wear for about a year.

And more importantly—the military strength sufficient to allow the Kingdom of Westphalia to stand firm during the War of the Eight Princes and even prevail in order to seize the throne.

Hearing what Gray said about the assistance that could be provided.

Supplies and combat power are what Alice Villa desperately needs.

It was precisely because of these deficiencies that she did not make any further plans, but instead devoted herself to saving as many citizens of the Kingdom of Westphalia as possible from dying of hunger and cold.

If she had enough power...

She also wanted to quell the Rebellion of the Eight Princes and bring peace back to the Kingdom of Westphalia.
