Chapter 6

The demiplane prison was a special prison in Demon King City. Due to its special nature in the cracks of the main plane, it was difficult for people without the authority to open the demiplane to enter and leave freely.

The Demon King lineage happened to be the group of people with the most authority.

After extracting Satan Leaf’s mana, Ira also had the ability to rely on the power of the scarlet dragon and the Rune Bond to break through the interdimensional space… No one could trap a Consul with enough wings.

However, since Satan Leaf had opened the door of the prison, he naturally did not have to spend any effort to break through…

“…”

Ira walked leisurely toward the end of the corridor as if she was in her courtyard. At the end of the glowing prison aisle was the [gate] of the demiplane prison. However, if they did not open the door, that was only a passageway that connected to the next aisle.

“Are you following too?”

As he asked, Ira looked at Satan Leaf, who was following behind and looking at him with her red dragon eyes. Before leaving, he asked, “Do you want to supervise my departure from the Demon King City?”

“No, there just isn’t any point staying in prison.”

Satan Leaf looked at Ira strangely as she said this. She had come to the prison to see him. Now that she had let Ira out, what reason did she have to stay in prison?

“Ah, that’s true…”

Towards Ira who replied like this, the little Demon King called Satan Leaf did not say much. She only followed him and prepared to leave the demiplane prison. Then, she suddenly thought of something and asked, “What’s the reason behind your conviction by the Empire?”

Such a question was meaningless… at least to Satan Leaf.

No matter what answer Ira gave, it was only ordinary gossip to her and not valuable information. In other words… such a question was only to satisfy her curiosity.

Before Satan Leaf was a Demon King, she was an ordinary loli.

Ira was gratified to finally see a normal loli. Compared to the other Loli Empress he was familiar with, Satan Leaf was too normal… It was not like a child who was an Empress before an ordinary loli.

“Then I’ll have to start from a long time ago…”

As Ira said this, he told her the background of the matter, “That was the first day I was on leave. I suggested an idea to Isabella. I told her…”

As Ira recalled, Satan Leaf also raised her question and asked, “Wait, did you say leave? But you’re not… I’ve heard stories about you. They usually describe you as ‘untiring’. Do you also need to take leave?”

What a strange description…

Ira, who was thinking helplessly, stopped his explanation. He was curious about something else and asked, “What exactly am I like in the mouth of the demonic creature?”

However, just as he said it, he did not want to know the answer.

“Forget it, I don’t want to know…”

“At that time, I told Isabella that in order to prepare the food to fight the Duchy and the demons, we need the nobles to donate food. If they donate more, there’s a possibility of being promoted. Even if they don’t want to donate food, they can use land to replace it.”

Hearing Ira’s story, Satan’s Leaf widened her eyes. She said, “So, the Empire is about to fight the Duchy of Hazard? That’s why you said that the Empire will stop fighting us?”

In response, Ira nodded gently. “Yes.”

“Oh, alright. Then what happened after that? Why did Empress Isabella capture you after that?”

Be it Satan Leaf having such a question, Ira actually did not understand it too well. He said, “Isabella asked me to take a vacation first, so I did not mind too much and decided to discuss this problem after the vacation ended.”

“Then, during my vacation, I sensed that the atmosphere of the Empire’s capital was changing… You should have obtained the corresponding information for what happened next.”

“…”

Ira could very clearly know that the nobles were adding fuel to the fire, but if Isabella was firm, she did not have to care about the opinions of any nobles.

In other words, Isabella actually wanted to use this accident to set Ira free… She knew very well that the Empire needed Ira, but Ira did not need to be obsessed with the Empire.

Although it was indeed not a bad outcome for him…

“This will let the nobles buy titles and use their land as collateral…”

Even Satan Leaf, who did not know much about nobles, heard something. She realized the reason for Ira’s suggestion and said, “You’re helping her, right?”

That was not wrong.

Listening to Ira’s description, Satan Leaf did not understand why Isabella rejected the land that belonged to her, but Ira herself understood… Isabella did not refuse. She was probably just tired of his nagging.

In other words, it was only to the extent of slapping his butt to express her dissatisfaction, but what the noble did was to put a knife into Isabella’s hand… However, there was no need to explain this to the Demon King in front of him.

“The Empire will become what I dreamed of… It will have equality, tranquility, and an eternal dictatorship.”

As he spoke, Ira was the first to walk into the light at the end of the passageway. He turned to look at the little Demon King and said, “If there’s a chance, we’ll meet again… I believe that time won’t be too far away.”

Saying this, Ira left a back view that was thrown into the light. What was worth mentioning was… Ira was very handsome and his figure was very well-proportioned, so his back view was very beautiful.

“Wait…”

Satan Leaf thought of something and stopped him, but it was already too late. She widened her eyes and hurriedly rushed out of the light behind him… She arrived at the Demon King City on the main plane.

What entered Satan Leaf’s eyes was Ira, who was held in the middle by several blades, weapons, and limbs… The subordinates of Satan Leaf, who did not understand the situation at all, treated Ira, who had rushed out of the demiplane prison, as an enemy.

…Although they were almost enemies to begin with.

“Ah, you came at the right time… It seems that the moment we meet again is now.”

Ira turned around and smiled.

He was indeed right previously. The time they met again was indeed not too far away… There were less than ten seconds between them.

“Ira Alkaras?!”

“Why did you… oh, come out?”

“Consul! Gulp~”

“…”

It seemed that everyone in the hall of the Demon King City was quite enthusiastic about Ira, but he felt that he could not endure this enthusiasm. However, very interestingly… even with such a level of resentment, no one attacked him first.

“Mr. Ira! Please calm down…”

Even Satan Leaf hoped that it was Ira who was calmer, not everyone in the Demon King City…

…

What kind of image did he have in the Demon King’s Territory? Could it really have reached the level of stopping the nightly cries of demon babies?
