“I want to see Satan Leaf.”

As Ira reported, the two rows of Black Knights guarding the Demon King’s bedroom in front of her made way for Ira and Vera almost the second after she finished speaking.

Why? Why was this happening?!

“You… no, forget it.”

Ira wanted to say something, but then he gave up the thought. He brought Vera and the little fairy on his shoulder through the door of the Demon King’s bedroom.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

Ira knocked lightly on the door. The beautiful door filled with patterns in front of him looked very impressive, but be it him or Vera, they were not surprised. In fact… this door was quite simple for a king.

After all, the Empress Chamber of the Empire was a true palace, not a room like the one that Satan Leaf was sleeping in. No matter how luxurious this room was, it was only a room.

To put it simply, this place could even be called a “bedroom”.

“…”

After waiting for a while, Ira did not receive a response. However, logically speaking, as the personal maid of Satan Leaf, Celina should stay with her. Moreover, there was a team of maids taking care of her.

“Shall we break in?”

Vera suggested but Ira and the fairy rolled their eyes.

“What’s with your gazes? I was just joking…”

As Vera complained, the door of the bedroom was pushed open. The well-dressed and neat Celina nodded at them and said, “Good morning, Lord Ira, Miss Vera, and this little fairy.”

“Good morning.”

Ira replied to Celina with etiquette. Although he had been in a hurry along the way and had not even eaten breakfast, he still greeted her politely, “It’s another sunny day. The wind today is still…”

The black-haired Vera quickly got to the point. She pointed at the fairy and interrupted Ira’s small talk. “The fairy said that a wild fairy has come to ask for help. The huge bee has occupied the nest of the wild fairy near the Demon King’s Territory and wants our help.”

Vera quickly explained the matter in a few words.

She did not say it very clearly. After all, the little fairy did not understand much, at the very least, it let Celina know what had happened, but…

“I see. Looks like it’s a good opportunity to replenish the labor force of the Demon King’s Territory…”

Celina analyzed, then looked at Vera and Ira. She said in confusion, “So, are you prepared to bring the Demon King to see the battle? Do you need me to wake her up?”

It seemed that the barbecue meeting yesterday had lasted for a long time. For a child, she might have indeed slept a little late.

“Actually, I’m here to ask Satan Leaf.”

As Ira spoke, he looked at the helpless expressions of Celina and Vera. He was also very helpless. He said, “I know you think you don’t need to ask for instructions, but I can’t understand. If I don’t ask her, how can I mobilize the army to eliminate the giant bee?”

Yes, Ira did not understand. He really did not understand the thoughts of the others. Without the order, did he really have a way to command the Black Knight, the Headless Horseman, and the Insectoid to kill the enemy?

“It’s actually very simple. You only need to go to the areas of the various leaders and find everyone you’re familiar with to explain the matter.”

As Celina spoke, she chuckled and shook her head, saying, “If something is beneficial to the Demon King’s Territory, no one will reject your request, right? Lady Ira can try… Then, do we still need to wake the Demon King up?”

“I… but…”

Ira, who was a little speechless, did not know what to say. He could only try his best to remain calm and adapt to the clearly abnormal colleague relationship. He did not need to report anything and only needed to do whatever he wanted.

In the past few days in the Demon King’s Territory, the things Ira encountered the most were statements like [Oh, go do it], and [Alright, there’s no need to ask me]. It seemed that… Satan Leaf really did not need to know what was happening in the Demon King’s Territory.

Satan Leaf could accept the fact that if something had happened, she would ask for everyone’s opinion in the morning court assembly and choose a more suitable solution. She could also accept the fact that a problem had already been solved before informing her.

She did not care at all that her subordinates were doing things according to their thoughts!

Although it could be said that she did not look like a king at all, did not have the etiquette, demeanor, and common sense needed to govern the country normally, and did not have any sense of responsibility, she was super cute!

How could such a king exist in the world?

“Seriously, what’s Satan Leaf thinking…”

Although he was questioning in his heart, a smile appeared on Ira’s face that even he did not know why he was smiling. He smiled happily and said, “Hahahahaha, in short… Celina, wake up Satan Leaf. She indeed needs to see or participate in actual combat.”

“…”

Celina narrowed her eyes and looked at Ira as if she had realized something. She could not help but smile and say, “I understand, Lady Ira. I’ll wake the Demon King up now.”

Watching Celina turn around and walk into the room, Ira let out a long sigh. “Phew…”

“…”

“Ira, what were you thinking?”

As Vera asked, she frowned and said, “When you were talking, the surrounding mana shook. They’re actually cheering… What happened?”

In response, Ira looked at her gently, then smiled as she replied, “I understand some things, what I need to do and what I can’t do. I understand how I’m different from myself in the Empire now.”

Under the Black Knight’s sidelong glance, Vera looked at Ira like them. She asked, “What?”

“I can do anything I want.”

As Ira said this, he completely understood… There was no need to ask the king for instructions, no need to worry about the face of the royal family, no need to consider the balance of power, and no need to hide his strength to maintain the stability of the royal court.

“Everything is allowed. I’m allowed to become the true me and do everything I want. I don’t have to suppress or care… because Satan Leaf won’t care.”

As Ira spoke, he said that he would be criticized in the Empire, but he knew that no one would care. The joy on his face could not be faked. He said, “Although this trust can’t compare to Isabella, it’s purer.”

“Trust that won’t be affected by anything else.”

As he spoke, Ira knew that Vera already understood. Under her proud expression, he said, “I can do what I want, so I will do anything!”

“Next! I want to fulfill the dream I’ve fought for my entire life! However, it’s not in the Empire, but in this Demon King’s Territory! Let me build a country that I can live in satisfaction!”
