“…….”

It felt like about forty minutes had passed. Daisy opened the iron door and came out.

Daisy’s face contorted when she saw the two of us. It was only natural. An adult man and woman were sitting on the floor and looking at her with expectant eyes. Moreover, the fact that the two people were her father and teacher was probably enough to make her question life itself…….

“What are you two doing?”

Daisy was covered in blood. The scent of blood was mixed together with the fragrance of rosemary, meaning that she most likely used a considerable number of potions. However, that didn’t matter to me. The problem was her face.

The boy mumbled to himself.

“Offer my life……?”

“That’s right, Luke. That is the ultimate sacrifice a person can offer another.”

If Daisy had coiled around her brother and bit into his throat, then I was slowly enveloping Luke in web. To an extent, it was Luke himself who flew into the web. I wasn’t going to step forward to hurt him myself.

“You should have learned about it from Jeremi, but there is something called a slave seal.”

Daisy pressed her now half-burnt cigar against my chest.

Daisy touched the tip of her cigar on my upper chest, precisely over where my heart resides. From left to right, she twisted it over and over again for a total of five times. I could feel a warm sensation on my chest as the ember was extinguished.

“I will impale my blade right here.”

Daisy stated.

“It might have started as a simple prank from Teacher Jeremi.”

Daisy spoke.

“If it had ended there, if nothing had happened afterward, I probably could have covered it up and pretended as if it had never happened. But everything that happened from that point onward, was your doing.”

“I really……didn’t know…….”

“That’s a relief.”

Daisy continued to tighten the noose, making sure there was no escape.

“I’ve heard a lot of rumors about you. Mostly related to women.”

“Huh? H-Haha, did that turn into a rumor……?”

“They say you’ve been jumping from woman to woman every other month. I’m impressed.”

Daisy remarked sarcastically. However, it seems Luke took that as friendly teasing as he laughed like an idiot.

“You have been spending less time in bed as of late.”

After sending Earl Bercy off, I sat in my chair sipping the disgustingly sweet fruit alcohol. I had fallen into thought. I’ve recently been getting a lot of opportunities to sit around and think.

“It is because there is no reason for me to sleep for a long time.”

“That is not what I mean by less time in bed, Father. You have never done it ever since that woman died.”

“I am curious to know when you became so knowledgeable about my lower body’s affairs.”

“Count Palatine, I am sure you are aware of this as well, but our government currently does not have the spare funds to pay back the interest.”

“It is only a seven percent interest annually.”

I took a sip from my fruit beverage. It was insanely sweet for alcohol. It was so sweet that I was sure even children would spit it out in disgust.

The cliffs stood like folding screens along the coastline.

A temple that was worn away by sea winds, had already crumbled over the cliffs long ago. The sea buried the colossal rubble beneath its waves.

The Demon Lord Castle, <Sky Garden>. The island that once floated across the sky had lost its owner. After losing its magic power, the Sky Garden gradually descended. The fact that Paimon’s funeral was held on the same day the Sky Island created a huge wave in the nearby ocean as it sunk was a complete coincidence…….

“Many people came to see you. Gamigin, Vassago, Zepar…….”

“Do you think I’d be able to remember each and every one of those names? How foolish. Write the names down on a piece of parchment.”

“The Minister of State Affairs and the Minister of Government Affairs are resting in the next room.”

I opened my eyes.

I arrived at the Habsburg imperial palace through teleportation magic.

The Demon Lords gathered at the palace square with a tumultuous atmosphere looming over them. The moonlight was exceptionally bright on this night, with clouds occasionally scattering a gentle violet haze.

Among them was a Demon Lord who was still in their undergarments. They had rushed out urgently without any care for their attire after they heard the news that Paimon and I were attacked. That’s right, it was Sitri. Even from a distance, it was apparent that she was maintaining a foreboding silence.
