After Being Betrayed by the Empire, I Decided to Support the Demon King

Having served the Empire for half of his life, Ela was decisively sold out. He intended to flee to another country but was nearly beaten to death during his escape before being saved by a dragon-gi...

Chapter Thirty: A Duel Decides All Fate (Referring to the Demon King's Castle)

"Ah, it's so pleasant talking to you... I never knew you understood me so well!"

As she spoke, the Ice Demon Queen, Crowned Grassis, floated ahead, leading the way. She glanced with a light laugh at Inra, who was following behind, and two other passersby (Silina and Satan Ye: ...), and said, "What a fine name you've given me, 'Abstract Art'~"

After becoming the Ice Demon, Hilder has decided that from now on, when she encounters those who laugh at her paintings, she will shut them down with the same words that Yinla praised today: "This will be the trend of the future," "Using tonal contrasts and sharp color differences, patterns to express the inner world," and so on.

The four of them are now being escorted by demons watching the spectacle, heading towards the dueling arena of the Underground Demon King's City... Yes, the ownership of the Underground Demon King's City will ultimately be decided by the traditional rules of Hell.

That is a duel to determine the strength of the two sides. Although it is a slightly cruder and more primitive means than negotiation and purchase, it is still a much more civilized solution than barbaric slaughter.

...

"Because I'm having so much fun, I'll only use half my power in the duel later~"

After saying this, Hilder, the Ice Demon Queen, glanced once more at the two passersby following Yinra and said, "If it were that little Crimson Dragon, I would only use one-tenth of my power... although even so, they probably still wouldn't be able to win."

Clearly, this Ice Queen Hilder thought that Sylvanas was Inra's henchman... It's normal to have such a thought, because the demons of Hell are not familiar with who Inra is.

In other words, in their eyes, Yinla was probably just a non-professional human who had no mana aura at all... The fact that Yinla was treated as an equal along the way was quite astonishing.

"I suggest you use your full strength, leave no regrets... Fight me."

As Yinla said this, Hilder, the Ice Demon Queen, immediately cast a strange look at her...

Helder, the Ice Demon Queen, hesitated at Yinla's words, shaking her head and saying, "You're not even a professional, I can't control my power to... one percent? One thousandth?"

It sounds like this Ice Queen Hilder is already eager to give the underground Demon King's Castle to Illa.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~"

Satan couldn't help but laugh, then when the other looked over, he coughed lightly and quietly followed again... There was really nothing funny about it, because Yinla's condition was indeed very rare.

Being a consul is a profession that is out of step with the world.

"You can think of me as..."

As Yinla spoke, he followed Hilder the Ice Demon into a stone open-air building that resembled the Rox Arena. Many demon spectators had already gathered in the surrounding stands.

"Sylvanas, Satan, you two stay here and keep watch..."

As Inra spoke, Shirina could clearly feel the oppressive aura emanating from the Ice Queen Hilder. She said with some concern, "Lady Inra, please be careful."

In response to her, Yoonra waved and left with her back turned.

"Don't worry, Selina..."

As Satanye said this, she thought for a moment, and realized that it seemed that when Yinla activated [Wing Shatter], Sirina was not present. Even during the previous massacre, Sirina hadn't witnessed it. She said, "Hmm, I remember you didn't seem to have seen Mr. Yinla use his full power..."

That's true, but Shirina had witnessed Inra's reaping on the battlefield before, and had also heard about Inra's rampage through the enemy lines upon returning from the battle, so she roughly understood.

At least they won't mistakenly believe that Ira is weaker than the Ice Queen Hilder.

"I know, I was just... concerned."

Upon hearing this from Sirina, Satan once again displayed the thoughtful expression she had been wearing lately. This time, taking advantage of Illa's absence, she whispered to Sirina sitting beside her, "Sirina, do you like Mr. Illa?"

Sirina's eyes widened suddenly. She shook her head instinctively and said, "No, Your Highness, I... I didn't mean that. It was probably just... admiration?"

Satan Ye understood. She crossed her arms and nodded to indicate that she understood, then said like a little adult, "I see. Hmm... Mr. Yinla doesn't seem to have the same feelings for you."

"..."

Hearing this, Sirina felt a slight lump in her throat for some reason. She twitched her lips and said, "I can see that too, Your Highness... Is Illa just focused on her work?"

That's what it means...

"But, Sister Casiopeia, you like Mr. Imra, it's very obvious, isn't it? And I can also sense that Mr. Imra actually has some feelings for Isabella."

As Satanye spoke, she pondered something and said, "Including that Miss named [Gurera], how many brides will there be at Mr. Yinla's wedding?"

"..."

In any case, this topic was still a bit too early for Satan Ye, and one could clearly feel her innocence and cuteness, so Sirina could only smile helplessly and had no way to answer.

However, it's conceivable that Yinla probably wouldn't choose to get married so young; she might consider this issue at least five or six hundred years from now... Moreover, it's normal for strong people to choose not to marry or even engage in romantic relationships.
