Lord Demon is behind you

"Brave? Brave!"

The Demon King yelled several times before pulling the brave man out of the shock of what happened before him.

"That... I mean, can you take the opportunity to sneak away from her now?" The Demon King suggested, "Look, she is busy here now educating her brothers and sisters, so she must not have time to take care of the Demon King's affairs, isn't it right? Is it a good time to steal the seat!"

He makes a lot of sense, but...

"This is a little difficult."

The brave man continued to observe his surroundings.

"Her Royal Highness and her monster subordinates are right between us and the exit," the brave man sighed, "and she...uh, very emotional.

In the process of talking to her sister, the princess walked back and forth from time to time, and the slime monsters also moved in a small range to match her position, protecting her in the most central position all the time.

"In case I accidentally run into something when I want to go around her..."

It will definitely be exposed on the spot.

However, now is indeed the most suitable opportunity.In the hero's impression, the Demon King always stayed on the Demon King's Throne, and the chances of leaving like this were rare.

After thinking about it, he still held the arm of the robot, and approached it cautiously.

Hearing what the princess said, Princess Jiali screamed in disbelief.

"No, how is this possible! Don't try to deceive me with lies, how can ordinary humans like me and brother three be able to create a witch! Only people like you with high-end magic knowledge—"

"...Don't believe me? Okay."

A small blue flame popped out from Princess Irene's fingertips, slowly drifting towards the unconscious man in the arms of the little princess.

"The opportunity is just right... How about calling Brother Wang up and confronting me face to face?"

——Before becoming a witch, the princess was an excellent spiritual magician.After becoming a witch, her magical power must have gained a considerable bonus: at this time, she can directly manipulate the spirit of others without even using spells.

The released mental magic power caused a strong stimulation to the brain of the comatose human being.He groaned/groaned in pain, and woke up with his head in his arms——

"Brother Wang," the little princess couldn't wait for him to fully wake up, she grabbed his arm and shook it vigorously, "Quickly repeat the truth to us again! Sister... No, the witch is framing you, saying what are you?" The maker of the witch... quickly refute her!"

That prince—the brave man remembered that he also had a few short conversations with him.

In my impression, he should be a rare and humble nobleman, and I don't think he is a bad person——

However, even if the brave man is very confident in his ability to see people, he will not mistakenly think that he can see through the twists and turns in the hearts of these nobles without making mistakes.

"Cough...cough..."

The prince coughed weakly twice, and slowly sat up with the help of the little princess.

—At least he does have courage, thought the Brave.As an ordinary human with no combat experience, he was able to look at the princess who became a witch without hesitation.Moreover, he seemed to understand the situation quickly.

"...that I...created, witch? No..."

The princess took two steps forward and stood against the iron railing.The blue light emitted by the slime monsters next to it illuminated the situation in the cell: the prince's face was full of pity.

"No, my sister,...no matter how many times you ask me...the answer will not be different. What you said is nothing. I never encouraged you to have any relationship with the demons, nor I have never hoped so much. You have been completely polluted by the thoughts of the demons, and you actually think that your relatives will persecute you..."

"Until now, have you maintained your hypocritical appearance?"

The princess tilted her head coldly.

"Then, let me explain from the beginning. When Your Excellency the Brave and I made the final decision to attack the Demon King's City, the father handed me the key to the palace's treasure vault, and let us choose the available items at will. At that time, you What have you done?"

"At that time? Cough..." the prince coughed in a low voice, "I remember I gave you some advice."

"Yes, some suggestions, really good suggestions." The princess nodded sarcastically, "You led me to the legacy of the abandoned magic research institute. At that time, I was worried about the upcoming final battle and was eager to find The power that can rival the high-ranking demons will naturally pick up that notebook—after all, it says on the cover, 'The method beyond the limits of human beings'."

"My sister," the prince sighed helplessly, "so, you are making unreasonable suspicions. How could I guide you to pick up a specific notebook among the piles of discarded props? ?”

"You can. Because you know me well enough," said the princess. "The note on the cover of the note is written in ancient spells thousands of years ago; that language is very difficult to understand, and only you and I understand it among the current royal family." How to use it. This special language certainly caught my attention. However, the content of the note is written in a common language hundreds of years ago... That line of words was actually written by you to lure me, right? ?”

"If you want to say that," the prince spread his hands calmly, "I can only say that there is no excuse for the crime... Can such a far-fetched reason be an excuse for you to hate me? In fact, I have never did that."

While they were arguing, the princess seemed to be going to stand still in front of the fence and not move any more.

After discovering this, the brave man began to drag the robot, walking carefully towards the space between the princess and the slime monster, trying to get behind the princess.

"Besides, someone tore out a few pages of that note." The princess ignored him, and continued, "It's at the end of the note, a few seemingly insignificant pages... If you guessed right, the contents of those pages should be Was it a warning of the consequences of using that ritual?

"What is recorded in that notebook is the way to use the energy of the source to turn humans into demons—it is a ritual that can turn humans into demons without any demons. ... That is what finally made me a witch thing."

Having said that, she shook her head somewhat self-deprecatingly.

"However, because of the lack of the most critical information,... I never expected that after becoming a demon, we would lose so many important things."

—Is that the case?Her Royal Highness, she was actually framed by her relatives...

The brave man felt uncomfortable.It is true that she herself made the final choice, and only she should be responsible for this decision, but the person who maliciously induced her must also be responsible.

At this moment, the hero was already very close to her.The sound of their conversation was transmitted to the Demon King through the communication machine.

"It turns out that human beings really have such technology," he sighed. "When I heard it before, I still refused to believe it."

"Uh, you've... heard of it before?"

"Well. You know that I was very interested in humans when I was still in the Demon Realm, and occasionally chatted with humans. At that time, there was an old man who claimed to have served as the director of a national research institute on the human side... Later He developed the technology to transform people into demons. He thought this technology was too scary, so he sealed the research results, and fled to the demon world to avoid the pursuit of the royal family."

... This old man, could it be the uncle who once appeared in the illusion of the fifth floor demon king?The more the brave listened, the more suspicious he became.

The characters that appear in the illusion should all be based on the living people in the memory of the devil.In other words, that uncle must be a human being that the Demon King really knew.

"What happened next?" He couldn't help but ask.

"Huh? Oh, later I asked him to write out the transformation method for me to see, but he couldn't write it out, saying that the specific activation spell was too complicated for him to memorize it with his head.... I thought he Fooling me, didn't expect it to be true."

Speaking of which, the brave man remembers that Her Highness the Princess has also made great achievements in magic theory, and her memory and comprehension are world-renowned.With her ability, it shouldn't be difficult to memorize complex runes.

"—My sister, this is your crime."

The prince sighed again, and said with a sad expression, "If your faith can be firmer, you should know that you should not be contaminated with anything related to the demons anyway—"

"Faith? Neither I nor you have such a thing. It's time like this, let's stop talking about those high-sounding formulas," the princess interrupted him without interest, "Of course, I was really very Hesitation. On the one hand, although the correctness of the notebook has been verified theoretically, the actual effect cannot be determined; on the other hand, I don't think it is necessary to use it.

"I just wanted to use it as a last resort just in case. In case we can't defeat the Demon King, at that time, I will use the ritual to become a Demon Race stronger than the Demon King—that's what I thought .And just after we set off for the Demon King’s City, didn’t you send an envoy to send a message to encourage me to use this method?”

"No, there is no such thing at all," the prince denied again. "I didn't know that you possessed such a dangerous thing. How can I encourage you? I just sent my subordinates normally...to exchange news with you."

"Well, it's really normal," the princess taunted lightly, "your emissary sent me a lot of fake information, trying to create an illusion of 'the devil is too powerful to be defeated'. Your purpose is to let me I was anxious in advance, will I become a demon myself when I confront the demon king?"

It turns out that the "letter" in Shaka's mouth was also delivered to the princess by the prince's envoy?

Now the brave man is no longer surprised, but has a feeling of "as expected".

At this time, he had passed the section closest to the princess, and was carrying the robot between the two slime monsters.

"That's right," the Demon King commented, "That woman is a princess anyway, so she shouldn't be stupid. How could a random man read a letter. Only envoys sent by trusted relatives will be received by her." .”

"...After you say it like this, it seems that this matter is nothing serious?"

The brave man managed to spare some energy to talk to him.

"Well, well, that's really the case... Actually, I didn't guess this result before. I was thinking that it was mostly caused by her family; didn't it mean that the human royal family fought fiercely for power? Who wants to destroy her for profit."

"No, how is this possible. Why would I want my sister to become a demon?" The prince over there was still shaking his head pretending to be surprised, "Is this good for me?"

"Does that even need to be said?"

The princess pulled her lips and said with a half-smile.

At this time, her emotions had settled down, appearing extremely calm and calm.

"Because you are afraid."

"……Fear?"

"Yes. You are afraid of me, so you want to use this roundabout method to kill me—at least let me ruin my reputation and degenerate into a demon."

The princess stroked her long hair beautifully.

"You are the heir to the throne designated by my father. But since I was a child, I have always been better than you, right? Especially in recent years; although I have been excluded from the political/political center, but the experience of traveling with Your Excellency the Brave, on the contrary It made my reputation even louder. Although I am a woman, if I can marry a world-famous brave man, the two of us will pose a strong threat to your status... Isn't it?"

"You can't accept this kind of thing," she said, "If you want to destroy me, it would be better if you can destroy Your Excellency the Brave along the way."

——Why would Her Royal Highness directly presuppose him in the position of her husband? Did she never think that he would refuse?The brave feels very subtle.

"Ugh……"

The prince continued to sigh.

"You're really thinking too much, Erin," he said, frowning.Even now, he is still a good brother who cares about his sister, "Even if I am so greedy that I don't hesitate to deal with my own sister, why should I be so devious? Wouldn't it be easier to give you a glass of poisoned wine or hire an assassin?" OK?"

"This kind of inferior method can't hurt me at all," she raised her head disdainfully, "You are close enough to me to know my strength. Ah, by the way, after I became a witch, I found it in the Demon King's City." this."

She took out a stack of parchment from nowhere and showed it to the two people in the cell.

"All the information about me is recorded here, which is terribly detailed. Many things that I don't know myself are all recorded on it... Only my important relatives can make this kind of information? This information is You traded it to the former Demon King in private!"

Princess Jiali, who had been hiding by the side before, came up to take a look, and then took a deep breath.

"No... this, these," she stammered, "even the little secret between our sisters..."

"Irene, it's not that you don't know," the prince shook his head unwaveringly, "the devil has the ability to spy on any corner of the world. He can observe you all the time and make a reliable and detailed summary. It can't be me at all..."

"Who has time to look at that kind of woman?" The devil complained, "Don't listen to him, brave man. I have always only looked at you wholeheartedly, and I will never pay attention to other people!"

...This kind of thing is not important at all!

The brave finally squeezed past the last slime monster, and finally heaved a sigh of relief.The road after that is Yimapingchuan.

"No...impossible," Princess Jiali's eyes overflowed with tears, "I don't believe it, I don't believe it!"

She grabbed the hem of the prince's clothes in a gaffe.The facts before him seemed to be crushing this underage girl.

"Why... I don't believe it, Brother Wang... No, how could you do such a thing..."

"I haven't done it, Carrie," insisted the prince, "you trust me."

"……yes?"

The princess' tone suddenly changed.

"However, whether you believe it or not, Carrie, is actually not important at all. The person I want to explain everything to is not you at all."

"The briefing session is not over yet. Where are you going? Your Excellency the Brave. Now—but it's not long before you leave."

She turned her head and looked at the position of the brave man very gently...
