Demon King – Chapter 826 – The Demon Lord and the Hero

“But letting you come in alone, did she think that pendant of hers was a single-entry ticket?”

The little Demon Lord scratched her head, looking somewhat helpless. According to her ideal calculations, if Xixia had been here, she could have directly taken care of a certain Chaotic Evil existence.

“Then what, should I go out and bring her in?”

“No need. She can’t stir up any waves anymore. Let’s leave her for now.”

Glancing at Belonia who was still tied up, Her Majesty the Demon Lord indicated they could deal with her later.

“She’s about to take the college entrance exam too. Let her keep using her cheat for a while… otherwise once the curse is lifted, she’ll go back to being a not-so-smart dummy.”

It would have been one thing if a certain hero girl had never realized it. But now that her hero cheat ability had barely warmed up, suddenly banning her did seem a bit unreasonable.

“You really do think about others.”

Yuki’s mouth twitched. Still, Eiru clearly understood this matter better, so he might as well listen to her.

While the two were talking, Belonia’s gaze remained nailed tightly to Yuki. Noticing that, the little Demon Lord snapped her fingers, and the chains wrapped around Belonia’s mouth fell away.

“Stupid Yuki, she seems to have something she wants to say to you.”

It was not that she was careless. On one hand she was genuinely curious what the other wanted to say. On the other, Eiru had already guessed what Belonia was planning. No matter what she tried, it could not affect the relationship between her and Yuki.

“Huh?” Yuki turned his eyes toward Belonia. She was glaring at him through clenched teeth.

“I don’t understand. You want to play the hero and show off in front of her, but once you leave she won’t remember any of this. What meaning does you being here even have?”

Belonia’s pride made her extremely resentful of this human who had bewitched a Demon Lord. Even though her plan had failed, she still wanted to stir something up. At the very least, she wanted to push this little girl toward becoming the Demon Lord she envisioned.

“Heh, listen to yourself.”

Yuki could not help laughing.

“You’re right. I did want to show off in front of her. If you say I didn’t have that thought when I came in, that would definitely be a lie.”

“But the most important thing is that she’s safe and sound. Whether she gets to see me perform is secondary.”

As he spoke, Yuki wrapped an arm around the girl he loved and planted a deep kiss on her cheek.

“If protecting her and caring about her were only for the sake of being seen by her, that would be putting the cart before the horse. Even if she remembers nothing, as long as she’s happy and safe, that’s enough.”

“Stupid Yuki, you sound like an old mom…”

“That’s why they call me mom-boyfriend.”

Another mouthful of dog food fed straight into Belonia’s face, making the big sister feel genuinely sick in every possible way. But after a moment’s thought, she came up with a new idea to drive a wedge between them.

“Hmph. If you hadn’t tried to taint the bloodline of the Demon Lord, I would never have acted against this girl in the first place.”

“Huh?” Yuki had not even reacted yet before the little Demon Lord looked confused.

“If she hadn’t been bewitched by you, I would have cultivated her and made her into a qualified and outstanding Demon Lord. It was precisely because of your existence that I was disappointed and decided to replace her.”

“In other words, it’s because of you that she fell into danger. Everything is your fault. Your existence is nothing but a burden to her!”

With a sharp smack, the burning sensation on her face left Belonia stunned. She stared at Yuki, whose hand had not yet withdrawn, unable to believe that a mere human had actually dared to strike her, a Demon Lord.

“Tch. I couldn’t hold it in.”

Yuki clicked his tongue. Such low-level moral blackmail truly angered him.

“You? Cultivate her? Even if that were true, I would never allow you to lead my precious astray. Compared to a vile Demon Lord like you, she’s the best and most outstanding little Demon Lord in my heart.”

“Someone who treats human lives like grass and can even use her own daughter as a tool still has the nerve to call herself outstanding? The root cause trying to shift the blame onto others. Do you have any shame at all?”

Belonia’s face flushed red. Just as she was about to fire back with a stream of insults, the little Demon Lord, having seen enough of the show, wrapped chains around her again and forcibly muted her.

“Sorry, having Authority really does mean I can do whatever I want~”

“Mmph! Mmm?!”

Ignoring the clown, the little Demon Lord brought Yuki back to her throne. After pulling him down to sit, she hopped straight into his arms and began rubbing against him, finally indulging in long-overdue affection.

“But Lu Brat, you arranged everything already. Feels like me coming in didn’t really do much…”

“Not really. You diverted her attention, so I was able to counter faster. If it had dragged on, it would’ve been troublesome.”

No matter what, Belonia was still a Demon Lord with extremely profound magical attainment. Whether in schemes or magic, the little Demon Lord admitted she was no match for that old fox.

Fortunately, she had used the advantage of Authority. Yuki’s intrusion also split the other’s attention. Even so, Belonia had still managed to launch some rather troublesome counterattacks against Eiru.

“It’s like renovating a new house before moving in. During this period she tampered with my soul and consciousness in many places. Quite a few areas were damaged and left in a mess.”

Her Majesty the Demon Lord was somewhat troubled by that, but fortunately she had been cautious and left corresponding backups in advance. Those parts would repair and restore themselves, though it would take some time.

Leaning close to Yuki’s ear, she whispered a few words. After hearing them, Yuki felt even more disgust toward Belonia.

“After all, she’s a Demon Lord. The curse and backlash she left on me are pretty troublesome. So for a while, I’ll have to trouble you, Stupid Yuki~”

“It’s fine. You’re my wife. Taking care of you is only natural.”

Yuki gently rubbed the girl’s little head with indulgence, not thinking any of it was trouble at all.

“Sorry. Since I won’t remember anything, I’ll end up causing you more troub— guh?!”

“Hm? No. Didn’t I tell you before, you’re not allowed to say that?”

Yuki pressed a finger against Eiru’s lips. He did not like her taking that attitude toward him. They were equals, giving and taking from each other. What trouble. What apologies.

“I know she’s trying to drive us apart. But Lu Brat, you know that’s impossible, right?”

“Mhm!”

On the throne, the two kissed each other.

Just as Xixia had once said, Yuki was the one and only hero in the little Demon Lord’s heart, the hero who belonged to her alone.

A Demon Lord will inevitably end up with the hero who belongs to her. That was a blessing a certain Demon Lord once gave to her juniors with all her remaining magic power.

And so Eiru was fortunate, because she met Yuki, the hero who belonged solely to her, this Demon Lord.
