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

After having only lunch at Brant's residence, Gray immediately set off for the capital.

From Ed Brandt's perspective, he had no idea how fast Gray was traveling; he was only calculating based on the speed of a normal carriage.

At this pace, Gray's journey to the capital wasn't rushed, but it wasn't exactly plentiful either. To prevent any unexpected incidents from causing delays, Ed Brandt only let Gray have lunch before he set off.

This time, Gray didn't bring any girls with her that would slow her down, allowing her to move forward at the most efficient speed.

The soaring technique propelled him high into the air, his body transforming into a shadow. He reached maximum speed, completely disregarding the significant drain on his magic power and physical strength caused by air resistance at high speeds.

To others, they might only see a shadow flash by in the sky and think they've misjudged it.

Before the sky had even darkened, Gray had already arrived at a place very close to the capital.

Next, we need to slow down. The capital of Olmec is a place where many experts from the country gather, and there may be people with strong perception. Slowing down is to avoid arousing the vigilance of high-level professionals in the capital.

It wasn't until nightfall that Gray arrived in the capital and crossed the city walls. He was astonished by the sight of crowds queuing to pass through the gates of Tararalos.

The popularity of the Holy Light Pilgrimage far exceeds people's expectations, after all, it is a large-scale event that is only held once every ten years.

Young people from all over the country are eager to participate in the Holy Light Pilgrimage in hopes of making a name for themselves, while merchants also plan to take advantage of the large flow of people in the capital to make a fortune.

Gray queued for a long time, showed his adventurer card to the city gate guards, and paid an entrance fee of one silver coin to successfully enter and witness the prosperous scene of the royal capital.

As night deepened, the city of Taralos presented a scene of tranquility and bustling activity. Moonlight spilled onto the cobblestone streets, reflecting a soft glow, and the houses and shops on both sides of the streets, illuminated by lanterns, appeared exceptionally warm and peaceful.

Merchants bustled about under their temporary stalls, their colorful banners gleaming brightly under the lights. They sold rare and exotic treasures from all over the world, their shouts drawing passersby to stop and watch. Spices, fabrics, jewelry, weapons—a dazzling array of goods dazzled the eye.

As expected of the capital of the Olmec Kingdom, its prosperity is far beyond what other territories can match.

Gray remembered what the blonde vampire Delta de Gama had told him, so he went straight to Gama to get his card and also stayed overnight at the Gran Merchant Guild.

In this vast capital city, it would be extremely difficult for Gray to find the Shadow Court attendant through his connection with the Demon King's retinue, due to the large crowds and high level of disruption.

But finding the Grand Chamber of Commerce was easy; Gray simply asked a few people along the way and found out where it was.

The Grand Chamber of Commerce building was even more bustling than the outside, with various items that Gray had copied from Earth being sold as merchandise, so it was no surprise that business was booming.

With the search area narrowed down, it became much easier for Gray to find the Shadow Court attendants.

He found a shop clerk and told him that he had arrived.

The waiter's expression immediately became respectful: "I'll take you to... I'll take you to the VIP room to wait, and then I'll bring Lord Gamma to see you."

The waiter led Gray to something familiar, and Gray's eyes twitched when he saw it.

Goodness, Iota has even built an elevator, but this one is powered by magic crystals, so it should be called... a magic elevator?

His fiancée was truly capable, and then he thought of the Ten Shadows, each with their own duties.

Hmm~ Taking me out alone doesn't seem to affect the operation of the Shadow Court...

It corresponds to the book title and belongs to the category of "yes".

Upon entering the VIP room, Gray saw luxurious furnishings such as sofas and carpets made of monster fur and crystal chandeliers, all in a modern style. Gray almost thought he had traveled back in time.

The waiter brought him here and then hurriedly left to call Gamma, leaving Gray to enjoy the leather sofas.

A moment later, hurried sounds came from outside the door.

"3."

Gray suddenly started counting down, just as the door opened.

"2."

The door opened, and Gamma came running in, lifting her skirt. Gray noticed the high heels she was wearing.

"The Great Demonic Shadow..."

"1."

As the number "1" landed, Gray vanished in a flash, and Gamma also fell flat on his face at the exact moment.

"Honestly, still so reckless."

Gray held Gamma's slender waist, preventing her from falling.

"Lord Demon Shadow..."

Lying in Gray's arms, Gamma's infatuation kicked in again, showing no sign of getting up.

At that moment, Gray was also scrutinizing the purple-haired mature woman.

She nestled quietly in Gray's arms, Gamma appearing exceptionally serene. Her body was slightly curled up, her long purple dress shimmering softly under the lamplight, like a tranquil pool of purple water, evoking a sense of tenderness. Her head rested on Gray's shoulder, strands of purple hair gently brushing against my cheek, carrying a faint, refreshing fragrance.

Her gaze was no longer as deep and unapproachable as it usually was; instead, it revealed a sense of dependence and trust, her eyes sparkling with starlight. Her cheeks were slightly flushed, like the glow of sunset on snow, making one want to gently touch them. Her arms were wrapped around Gray, her fingertips occasionally lightly brushing against his back, conveying an indescribable warmth.

Gray exclaimed that she couldn't take it anymore. The once frail little girl had grown up over the past ten years into a tall, capable, and beautiful female president of the chamber of commerce.

The waist feels so soft to the touch...

Gray quickly banished the strange feeling from his mind, and to prevent himself from having any more wild thoughts, he quickly put Gamma down.

Um... Aieta didn't seem to mind having Kappa as her husband. On the contrary, she felt dissatisfied when Kappa took the right to do it first, and she pushed him down without giving in.

Gray didn't want to betray Iota's trust any longer.

Kappa was only recruited under special circumstances, and we can't afford to cause any more trouble. Therefore, we need to sever all ties with the other ten Kage and avoid having another Kappa...

Suddenly, the image of the white dragon girl popped into Gray's mind.

There's also Bai Lin, who acts like she's going to die when rejected.

Things suddenly got complicated...

His reason for rejecting Bai Lin was that he wanted to be a pure lover, but this contradicted his decision to accept Kapa.

What if Bai Lin says, "Since we've already taken them all, what difference does one more of me make?"

What should Gray do then?
