Leohart would not be content to play the cardinal's puppet forever.If you want to create a new order in the Demon Realm, it is important to pacify the moderate faction or other forces that have resisted for a long time-but the most important thing is to eradicate these old pests in front of you.

Of course, they have lived in the demon world for a long time, and their influence is difficult to estimate; if they are not handled properly, they may be killed in a blink of an eye, but Leohart's determination does not waver because of this.So - first...

Leohart looked at the empty seats at the round table, but it wasn't Zolgear's "lust".Of the eight seats including Leohart, only six were occupied.

That's right—there's one more yet to arrive. ——At this moment, the heavy door of the meeting room in the high-level pavilion suddenly opened slowly, and then——

"Sorry everyone, I'm late..." A high-level demon entered the meeting room with a deep voice, and took the highest seat among the seven deadly sins with leisurely steps.

That was the chairman of the Council of Cardinals—the Grand Duke Belphegor.

"What's the matter, Lord Belphegor? You came very late today." A member of the Cardinal Council asked Belphegor who showed up much later than the scheduled time.

"Hmm... I was dealing with Zolgear's affairs, so I accidentally delayed it." Belphegor replied with a deep smile on his face.

"Didn't it be decided that before his successor was elected, I would temporarily take the seat of "Lust"? I have no interest in his research and property... But that playground is another matter, It’s a pity that it’s gone. So I thought, I’ll just take over that place from now on.”

This sentence made another MP laugh happily. "Oh... that's really great. It's absolutely appropriate to leave it to Lord Belphegor, and I won't be afraid that I won't be able to find a place to play in the future."

Belphegor, who symbolizes laziness, is the longest-lived demon in the demon world, and is also known for his lust, even higher than Zolgear.It is said that the number of women in the harem in his city is as many as four figures.

However, the chairman of the Cardinal Council is naturally not an ordinary person. Belphegor is also a figure standing at the apex of the current high-level demon clan of the Demon King Sect, and he is a symbol of the ancient times.

"I'm really sorry for making His Majesty wait for me, my old bones... I'm busy making all the women over there into my things again, and I can't control the time."

After hearing what Belphegor said without blushing or panting——

"It's good to be alive, Belphegor." Leohart replied calmly.Leohart wants to get rid of Belphegor more than Naruse Mio who inherited Wilbert's power or Ramthas, the leader of the Moderate faction, so he must not let him discover the killing intent in his heart.

Afterwards, Belfegetti announced, "So everyone", "Let's start today's meeting—first of all, it is about the state of preservation of those heroic spirits who are sleeping in the ruins dug out in the Western Regions a few days ago."

………………

In a space filled with heavy silence, there are a pair of nightmare sisters looking at each other.

Maria Naruse and her older sister "Lu" Kia.After Maria came to "Lukia"'s office, she began to report everything.

And now——the heavy silence in the room was caused by Maria, who finished her report, waiting for Lucia to speak.

In the breathless silence, Maria lowered her eyes and did not move, and finally—

"Is that all there is to it?"

What "Lukia" uttered was extremely cold.then--

"Maria... I am very aware of your love for mother, and I will not blame you for this matter. Your mood when you learned that mother was taken hostage, and your thought of betraying Mio-sama, all of this I'm not completely incomprehensible."

"I understand." Maria raised her eyes and met Lucia who was sitting on the chair on the other side of the desk in front of her.

"But—even so, what you should do first at that time was to carry out your mission to protect Mio-sama, rather than worrying about the safety of your mother. If Mr. Hantian didn't know, I don't need to say what the consequences will be. I just don't understand , why did you do this?"

For "Lukia"'s question, Maria had an answer in her heart, but she couldn't say it because she still didn't want to believe it was the truth—and she didn't want to say it with her own mouth.But--

"Tell me, Maria—how did Zolgear deceive you?"

Lucia pressed her further.The shrewd elder sister in front of her is not someone who can be fooled by being silent, lying and prevaricating.

"It's because of Xuela." An unexpected voice came from the side.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"How did you get in?" Lucia asked with a frown.

"Just now... Shela suddenly appeared in the room you took us to."

Mu Hantian opened his mouth and explained: "Mio asked why she suddenly appeared on my lap, and then I realized that she made magic space passages everywhere in the city in order to tease people in ordinary times—or to let people in the city take refuge in emergencies. So I thought you might have them in your office, so I asked Shira to lend me some. Because Maria hasn’t come back yet, I’m worried.”

"So that's the case, my lord mother is also true."

The guard door was closed tightly, so that "Lukia" couldn't figure out how to get in for a moment, but she didn't expect to use Xuela's space passage. "Lucia" knew the existence of the passage, but she didn't find her office and didn't escape, which made her feel deeply——she was still far inferior to her mother.After sighing in her heart, "Lu" Qiya immediately changed her mood, looked at Mu Hantian and said, "Mr. Hantian, what do you mean by what you just said?"

"This is just my guess. Judging from Xuela's words and deeds, her status here is not low, but her power is very weak. I think she must have lost her power?" Mu Hantian said My own opinion.

Then he looked at Maria and asked, "Maria, you should know why?"

"Yes, Zokir told me one thing. Mom lost her strength and became like that—because of giving birth to me."

Maria's trembling voice made Lucia's eyes slightly open.

It turned out that this was the case...

"Lu" Kia finally understood.Maria's heart is indeed soft, but she has a stronger sense of responsibility.So even if the situation makes her struggle, she firmly believes that she will never make the worst decision to help Zolgear.

Under the table that Maria couldn't see, "Lukia" clenched her right fist.Calmly, he tried his best to suppress the boiling anger.

What he told Maria was true. "Lukia" and Maria's mother, Shira, was the first among the succubi to become a high-level demon and to be well-known in the demon world.Shera was very powerful in the past, and it is said that she was an equal ally with Wilbert, known as the strongest demon king.

However—such Xuela suddenly lost most of her power due to some reason one day.

That is the birth of Maria.When the eldest daughter "Lu" was born, everything was safe, but she lost most of her strength when she gave birth to Maria - she couldn't even maintain her original body shape, and became the young girl she is now. appearance.

But—"Lukia" and the others were always careful not to let Maria know about it.Knowing that one's own birth has deprived a beloved mother of her strength and beauty will undoubtedly break a child's heart.Especially with Xuela's special status, the consequences will be even more serious.

So in order not to want Maria to feel ashamed or traumatized by her own existence, Shira and "Lukia" joined forces with everyone around them to work together to protect Maria—by hiding the truth.

It is impossible to completely conceal the loss of power from someone like Shera, but it is possible to cut off the connection between the cause and Maria.Therefore, everyone lied that Shera lost her power before she was pregnant with Maria, and tried their best to hide this secret.

Many people in the moderate school who are close to Shera know the truth because they accompanied her in childbirth, etc., and feel sorry for her losing her overwhelming "sexual" power.Shira and "Lu" Kia went everywhere to ask these people not to reveal the truth, and even Wilbert agreed to help persuade the surroundings to keep the secret together.With the cooperation of so many people, Maria was prevented from knowing the cruel truth, and she was raised safely.
