With an extremely heavy heart, Rael followed Earl Eberron to a gate. She could see that the royal murals in the corridor had long been removed, and some artists' works were now hanging. Although they looked a bit strange,
It fits the appearance of the palace, but Rael has to admit that it looks much better this way.
The two came to the door, but Eberron suddenly stopped moving. Rael looked at his back, and he seemed to be hesitating about something.
Suddenly, he coughed lightly, straightened his back, and knocked gently on the door.
Bang bang~
"Sir, I brought her."
I only heard a voice coming from the door: "Let her in."
Hearing this, Eberron turned to Lele and smiled, saying, "Please, my mission is completed."
After saying that, he strode away.
Leer sighed softly, then raised her head, put on her usual fearless smile, opened the door and walked in.
The room was very bright. The floor was covered with red wool carpets. The gentle candlelight made people feel warm. I saw a man in black with his back to the door. When he saw the other man's back, Rael felt his back
The hairs were already standing on end.
She was angry and clenched her fists.
Bang!
A gust of wind slammed the door shut, and Rael still looked at the man with a smile.
"It really surprises me. I didn't expect to see you here. Why, are you now the king's minister again?"
I saw the man in black turning around. This man was Richard.
"I thought you came to me specifically. It seems that I am being sentimental, hahaha. Why, when did you encounter this? Is it because those staff seized your spaceship, that's why you are angry?
"
Richard looked at each other, which made Lele even more angry.
"Please sit down. Do you want something to drink? I recommend Huayu Tea. This is a specialty tea from the Ufa Forest. I believe you will like it."
As he spoke, he took a small teacup and placed it on the table, ready to make tea.
At this moment, Leer banged her fist on the table.
"You lied to me! Your contract was just a lie to me!"
She glared at Richard.
"As I said before, I didn't do anything that violated the contract."
Richard shrugged and answered easily.
However, Leier immediately pointed in the direction of the door and shouted: "Then what's going on? You usurped a country under our noses! According to the contract, you should not take action against us humans!"
"I didn't do that."
"Then what is this?"
Leer was so angry that her face turned red. Of course she knew that this approach was very dangerous. She was no match for the other party and he could kill her at any time. But she knew better that if the other party wanted to use her leverage to blackmail her, then she would fight here.
Death is the best outcome.
Richard still slowly poured a cup of floral-scented tea, gently pushed it in front of Rael, and then made a gesture of invitation.
"Please sit down, you need to calm down."
How can Rael calm down? Now she no longer dares to calmly think about her own fate. She may become an accomplice of the other party's invasion of mankind.
"Don't you think this city is much better now than it was before?"
Demon King Richard looked at Rael and asked.
Leer didn't want to deny this, but she also didn't want to fall into the other party's trap and be used by him.
"These are two different things, sir. You violated the contract and you lied to me. This is an unforgivable fact."
Richard looked at her, blinked, then slowly shook his head, smiled and said, "What if I say I didn't break the contract?"
"Do you think I would believe it?"
"Well... if I say I just want to help these poor people."
"I don't believe that you are just a demon. How can you help us humans?"
Leer directly stated what she was thinking. She knew that she shouldn't say it so directly. Even if it was to deceive the other party, she should buy some time.
She is afraid, afraid of this ally, this Richard who looks like a human, behaves like a human, and thinks like a human, but whose identity is that of a mysterious demon.
Perhaps it was the death of Guild President An Mihu that made Leier lose some confidence. If the Guild or other people knew that she signed a contract with a demon, she would end badly, but she was not afraid.
He is not worried about what kind of punishment he will receive, but he is afraid that his family will be implicated and the union will be in huge trouble.
The most important thing is that she is afraid that humanity will be exterminated because of herself.
"You don't believe that I will really help mankind, so you doubt the contract. Am I right?"
Richard seemed to have read through her thoughts, and Rael did not deny it. At this time, the tea on the table had become cold. Lynchard poured it out and poured another cup.
"Well, it seems we need to be more honest with each other."
"What's the meaning?"
"You want to know why I want to help humans?"
Richard suddenly asked, and of course Lael thought, but she felt that the other person would definitely not answer, and even if he did, he would just make up a subtle lie that she could not tell the truth from to confuse herself.
But she still nodded, but no matter what the other party said, she would not believe it, not a word.
"Actually, I was raised by a human."
"So you want to help humans? With all due respect, huh?!"
In the middle of her words, Rael suddenly made a voice that did not suit her image.
Shocked, she was indeed extremely shocked. She was stunned on the spot, still thinking about what the other party had just said. She looked at Richard, who nodded to her.
"This...is true?"
"Well, don't you think I'm more like a human than a demon?"
Richard replied that he told Lele's thoughts. No matter how you looked at it, he was still a human being, and Lele even suspected that he was a shape-shifting mutant.
She frowned and asked hesitantly: "Then, the person who raised you, does she know that you are..."
"Demon? Well, she knows. After all, when she picked me up, I still didn't hide my horns and tail."
As he spoke, a small tail suddenly appeared on Richard's back, and small bamboo shoot-like horns grew on his head, the same as when he was a child.
For some reason, this greatly aroused Leer's interest. She frowned, pulled out her chair, and sat down.
Demons raised by humans?
She had only heard of this kind of thing in stories. Of course, it could have happened in reality. After all, everything could have happened in the past millions of years. But in the story, the protagonist who raised the demons had no fate.
It would be great, just like the farmer and the snake, the raised demon turns into a cold-blooded monster and kills the person who raised it, or it is killed by a just human being.
And which kind of Richard is he in front of me?
She couldn't help but look at him, wanting to know the story.
