Even though Klaus interrupted the words to stop, Lucia still stood her ground. "That's just your private decision and has nothing to do with me. It's my task to receive Mio-sama and the others."

But Klaus is also not backing down at all. "The honor of welcoming Mio-sama has been given to you, and I will leave it to this old man to show them around. Don't worry, everyone in the city knows that this old man is stubborn and won't back down once he makes a decision. I can’t stop it; even if you can’t hold me back, His Excellency Ramthus won’t blame you for neglecting your duties. Besides, I’m just showing them around the castle.”

"Master Klaus...!" Lucia, who was unspeakably anxious, still tried to stop Klaus.

"Miss 'Lukia'... Do you want to say something more to this old man? Or is it that Mio-sama doesn't even have such a small right to visit the castle? Could it be that you want to be placed under house arrest?"

Klaus' words made Lucia bite her lip.Although he is indeed the adjutant of Ramsas, the current leader of the Moderate faction, he is not the second person in the Moderate faction; and the old man in front of him has exactly that position in the Moderate faction.He couldn't be stopped—Lukia, who had lost her current dominance, could only stand stunned.

"It seems that you understand."

After saying that with a calm smile, Klaus left the room with Mio and the others, who were a little embarrassed.

Zest, who was waiting by the wall, didn't know what to do for a while, but——

"Go ahead. It is my mother who ordered you to take care of Mr. Han Tian. Lord Klaus will not make things difficult for you or compete with my mother for them."

"Yes." After hearing what Lukia said, Zester nodded slightly and followed Mu Hantian's footsteps.

The one who remained in the room afterward——was only "Lukia".

………………

"Oh, it's really a joke for everyone—" said Klaus, who was leading Mu Hantian and his party through the long corridor at the front.

"It's only been a few years since His Majesty Wilbert passed away, and some people don't know where to pay their respects to His Majesty... It's really embarrassing."

"Excuse me... what kind of person is Wilbert?" Mu Hantian asked.

Mu Hantian didn't know anything about Wilbert, he only knew that he was Mio's father and the former Demon King, and he didn't know anything else.

"He is stronger than anyone else, but also gentler than anyone else." Klaus looked up at the void and replied softly.

"In the past, most of the demons were militants who wanted to avenge the gods who exiled the demons, and used your human world as a base to attack the gods—it wasn't until His Majesty Wilbert appeared that the situation changed."

"He is not a weak person who can only sing about ideals, but has incomparable strength, but still calls for non-war and peace... Don't be bound by the past, no longer revenge for the wronged ancestors, but for the present and the future Live and create a happy life for yourself. His Majesty Wilbert’s will deeply moved and shocked our hearts, and more and more people agreed with him and resonated with him——in a blink of an eye, we, who were led by Wilbert The moderate faction led by His Majesty has become the biggest force in the devil world."

"His Majesty announced the withdrawal of troops in that great war—so far, he is only one step away from realizing His Majesty's dream. Originally, the Demon Realm should enter an era of peace for the first time in history to eliminate all wars—but fate is too cruel gone."

At this time, Klaus sighed and said, "One day—His Majesty Wilbert fell seriously ill."

"Serious illness?" Mu Hantian asked back.

"That's right... Until the end, we didn't know what it was, let alone the reason. The powerful power that His Majesty Wilbert called the strongest demon king was being lost day by day... In the end, his ambition was unfulfilled. I swallowed my last breath quietly. In terms of the time in your world, it was about a year and a half ago."

What Klaus said made Mio, who was walking beside Mu Hantian, look gloomy.Knowing the cause of her father's death—and the thought of Wilbert handing over power to Mio when she was about to die, and indirectly causing the adoptive parents who raised Mio to die tragically before her eyes, these two emotions—sorrow and sadness, and all kinds of incomprehensible emotions Emotions must be in a mess in Mio's heart right now.then……

Mu Hantian didn't stop, and directly hugged Mio's shoulder beside him.It seemed to tell her that even if her biological father and her adoptive parents were gone—he was still with her now.

"Ah."

Mio also seemed to understand what Mu Hantian meant, and after making a faint sound, she leaned slightly towards Mu Hantian.

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

"After His Majesty Wilbert passed away, the alliance of radicals and conservatives who supported this young man, Leohart, as the new Demon King began to rise, and His Majesty's elder brother, His Excellency Ramthas, assumed the responsibility of leading the moderate faction. But , We have never heard of His Majesty having an elder brother before this, and this Lord Ramthus is quite a headache..." Klaus, who was walking in front, continued.

"He probably popped up in the city after receiving the news that His Majesty was sick in bed. This is fine, but the problem is that His Majesty is planning something, and in his last words, he appointed this elder brother whom he had not seen for many years to die under His Majesty. Then he took over the Moderate Party...and His Excellency Ramsas did succeed after His Majesty's death; but he not only showed no sorrow for the death of His Majesty's brother, but also repeatedly made painful decisions and decisions in spite of our opposition. The order is a waste of His Majesty Wilbert's thoughts on the peace of the Demon World and his beloved daughter Mio. Many people who were originally inspired by His Majesty's ideals and walked along the way left the Moderate faction because they could not accept His Excellency Ramthus... …We, who used to be the biggest power in the demon world, are now nothing left."

With a full face of regret, he described the current situation after Wilbert's death.

"Miss 'Lucia' used to admire His Majesty Wilbert... but after becoming His Excellency Ramthas's adjutant, she only did things according to his wishes."

Klaus led a group of people up the air corridor spanning the three-story high hall, and said: "But—most of us, our loyalty to His Majesty remains the same as before."

When Mu Hantian, Mio, Yuxi, Geng Xizi, Maria and Hutao stopped following Klaus——

They couldn't help but gasp at the same time, because they saw a large group of people looking up in line.From maids, deacons, servants who looked like gardeners or cooks, to people who looked like soldiers with swords, there were probably hundreds of them.

They also shouted in unison to Mio and his party who were stunned by this astonishing sight: "Welcome Mio-sama!"

Enthusiastic voices overlapped one after another, shaking the air in the hall.

"Eh... that..."

Klaus smiled and said to Mio who was overwhelmed by such a grand welcome: "Mio-sama...just greet them briefly, is that all right? They are waiting for you, the daughter of His Majesty Wilbert, to appear, Been waiting for years."

"But how do we say hello..." Mio was a little at a loss.

Seeing Mio's eyes begging for help, Mu Hantian said helplessly, "Don't think too complicated, just wave your hand a little bit."

"Yeah, that's enough." Klaus agreed with Mu Hantian's words.

Mio nodded, and walked down to a place where it was easy to see in the hall below.

"Uh...is that so?"

Then he waved lightly to the people in the hall-the crowd suddenly burst into cheers, as if they were sincerely happy for the long-awaited arrival of the new monarch.in--

strange?

Mu Hantian noticed that some people were not only looking at Mio, but also looking at other places, so he looked in the direction...

And immediately understanding what they were looking at, opened their eyes slightly.On the other side of the hall—on the top of the wall behind Mio, a huge portrait hung.

The person in the painting is a male demon with the same hair "color" as Mio... There is no mistake, it is a portrait of Wilbert.

I believe that from the perspective of the downstairs, the whole picture seems to be that Mio bears Wilbert's will, and Wilbert is also watching over his daughter.
