After being betrayed by the Empire, I decided to assist the Demon King

Chapter 7 Vera
"I won't be angry... I'm even thinking about what kind of image I am in your hearts."

Ira put her hand on the blade on her neck helplessly.

"How many monsters have you killed, I hope Ira knows something in your own mind..."

"..."

For some reason, Ira felt that the voice sounded familiar. He looked from between the dark knight and the giant bugman to the direction of the voice, and then saw a pale-skinned woman wearing a wizard hat.

"Vera..."

Ira called out her name like this, and he frowned, not knowing what to say.

"Miss Vera, do you know Mr. Ira?"

Saying so, Satan Ye walked out from behind Ira, waved his hand, and signaled the monster leaders to take back their weapons.

"She is a traitor to the Empire."

Ira said so.

"Ira and I were colleagues for ten years."

But Vera gave a different statement.

"Lich...you said you were from the Empire, but you never mentioned that you held a high position in the Empire."

The one who said this was a huge bugman with an armor-like exoskeleton on his body. With his small reflective black eyes, he stared at his colleague named Vera suspiciously at this lich who had joined for decades.

"It's not a high position..."

Vera said so simply.

"She is a court magister, Isabella's magic teacher, but she chose to become a lich."

And Ira dismantled the stage like this.

"..."

Although it seemed to be a very happy atmosphere, the atmosphere had become extremely solemn unconsciously. Although the leaders put down the blades in their hands, there was always a sharp knife in their hearts.

It's not that I don't want to let go of my hostility, but I don't dare to let go.

"So, Lord Demon King let you out? Was it for you to take revenge on the empire?"

There was cold sweat on Vera's forehead. Although she didn't know the "consul" very well, there was no doubt that Satan's mana was flowing in Ira's body, which was not a good sign.

Either it was snatched by Iraq, or it was given by Satan Ye... The former is more likely.

"Or, have you decided to join us? The Demon King is very cute, right? I remember you are a lolicon?"

Facing Vera's nonsense, Ila immediately shook her head resolutely and said: "What nonsense are you talking about? I didn't betray the empire like you, but was betrayed by the empire... I will go to the Silvermoon Grove later. .”

This is the best choice that Ira can think of at the moment. Although the relationship between the elves in the Silver Moon Tree Garden and the empire is not good, the personal relationship with Ira is not bad.

If you go to defect, obviously there is no problem.

"Betray the empire? Ira, how dare you say it... Didn't I also plan to hide the fact that I was transformed into a lich, and work properly in the empire?"

The young and beautiful Vera said, and she sighed: "I was also betrayed by the empire. Why can't the empire tolerate liches? Just like the empire cannot tolerate you."

"..."

This remark silenced Iraq.

The empire cannot tolerate the transformation of residents into monsters. This is the foundation of the country. Vera is undoubtedly sophistrying, but at this moment he can't think of words to refute... he can't find the meaning of refute.

"I'm leaving... Anyway, thank you for your help, Lord Demon King."

After such a short thank you, Ira chanted softly in the hall of the Demon King City: "First Wing Pillar Scarlet Dragon Wingspan."

Accompanied by the calm chant, scarlet wings appeared behind Ira, and under the vigilant eyes of all the monsters in the hall, he looked at the starry sky outside the window.

This is a very beautiful picture. Mana turned into radiance and turned into wing bones from the spine, and then quickly filled it into shape. The illusory wings scattered red dust with a light fan.

And on the battlefield, killing and death are often accompanied by singing like that, so no one will appreciate it... It will only bring fear, and bury the fear deeply in every person who has witnessed the slaughter. The bottom of the monster's heart.

"Wait, Mr. Yila, you have been in a coma for three days, haven't you felt hungry? The dinner ordered by Lord Demon King..."

The succubus named Xilina blocked Ira's take-off with such a sound, but he didn't care about the dinner or not, even though he was indeed a little hungry now.

Wouldn't care...probably.

……

I'm so hungry and want to eat.

Embarrassed, Yila stopped taking off, the scarlet wings gathered behind his back and returned to his body, he turned his head to look at the confused monsters, and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you... I owe you a favor. "

"..."

Vera: By the way, it was Ila who proposed the idea of ​​never getting tired of food.

——— Dining Dividing Line———

The dinner in Demon King City...is a very feast without the atmosphere of monsters.

Normally, each monster leader will go to his own area to eat and do some work, so usually only the demon king's lineage, butlers, and maids will handle matters related to the dinner.

It's a dinner, but it's more like a family gathering... It's even more like today when all the leaders are staying. Otherwise, if only Ira and Satan Ye eat, it's more like a candlelight dinner than a dinner.

"The salad chosen is not fresh enough, and the red snake fruit tastes sour, what do you think?"

Ira commented on Sarah in this way, and the worm who was asked by him could only admit it with a nod.

Because Ira was right.

"The staple food is mushrooms, which is too strange, no matter what race you need to ensure good carbohydrate intake."

Regarding what Ira said, Vera nodded and agreed... Although the lich's eating is just a taste, there is no need to actually eat.

"The steak is too old, and none of the side dishes are too monotonous, even with the teeth of the scarlet dragon, it's unbearable!"

Yila frowned and complained. He couldn't understand why the chef could be so careless about the food the devil liked. He stood up under everyone's gaze and asked, "Who can take me to the kitchen?"

Although it was a question sentence, it was in an unquestionable tone, as if he was the owner of the Demon King City.

"Yes... Lord Ira, please go this way."

Xilina, who was standing aside, twitched the corners of her mouth, respectfully took Ira out of the table, and left towards the room on the other side of the hall, leaving Satan Ye and the other leaders looking at each other.

"The lich...that, Ira Alcaras, has always been like that?"

A girl with bat-like wings on her back asked Vera.

I don't know why, but everyone always feels that the image of Ira as an enemy is different from everyone's impression.

"Yes, he does get serious in strange places... I hope Mr. Rhyme asks for blessings."

Vera squinted her eyes slightly as she said this, and she put forward her own thoughts: "I have always heard a rumor... Ira is not the pure royalist imagined by the people of the empire, but a paranoid dreamer."

"what are you saying?"

Faced with a question from a golem who spoke intermittently, Vera showed a sly smile, looked at Satan Ye and said, "Master Demon King, the future of the monster depends entirely on you~"

"Well?"

Satan Ye tilted his head in confusion, showing an innocent expression.
