I have learned from the maid that the two major forces in this world are the demons and humans. Since the beginning of recorded history, the demons and humans have been incompatible. Similar to the background of most of the stories of the devil and the brave, the devil and the human beings are incompatible, and there have been countless wars..
Of course the humans originally wanted to reconcile, but the demons have always had the upper hand. So the demons have been invading the human kingdoms, however, each time they have not been able to completely destroy the human cities because of the presence of the brave people.
But from what Lindsay and Daisy have said, it was three hundred years ago, when the last Demon King was still on the reign. At that time, the second generation of humanoid weapon, Irodia, was destroyed, and the Demon race went into decline as a result.
More than two hundred years ago, the current Demon King,the parents of the previous Demon King, learned from the way the human kingdom works, to conserve energy, empathize with the people, win over the hearts of the people, be sensible and virtuous in order to make the country rich and strong without resorting to war. The devil people unanimously commented that the Devil King was a generation of wise ruler, unlike the previous Devil King as warlike. And the power of the devil race was eventually able to be on par with that of humans again, even without Irodia.
It seems that the last Demon King was too kind and kept advocating that all creatures in the world should coexist peacefully, and so should humans and demons.
But at this time humans did not appreciate it, not only because the humans had a deep hatred for the Demons accumulated in history, but also because the current Demons were much weaker compared to the previous Demons. After the failure of the negotiation of reconciliation between the demons and humans, humans waged a war and the demons, without the humanoid weapon Irodia , lost the battle. Therefore, the demon king of the last generation was killed by the brave human.
"That's all we know."
Lindsay said.
"We are only maids and are not involved in the management of war and historical records, which we have heard.."
Daisy said.
I nodded, and the pastries on the table were finished.
So is it the fact that the kindest of the demon lords gave birth to a daughter who turned out to be the most brutal of them all?
"Is there anything else Ilotia-sama wants to ask?"
Both of them asked at the same time.
I looked out the window, and it was completely dark.
"Nothing more."
Lindsay bowed her head, perhaps because she saw that I was barefoot.
"Ilotia-sama, there are shoes in the cupboard."
"Good."
I walked to the closet and pulled it open, and it was full of clothes.
Closing and then crouching down to pull open the bottom cupboard, there were slippers and boots inside.
All of them were feminine, and one could not help but sigh slightly.
"Please put on your shoes, Ilotia-sama, and we will show you the way to the bathroom."
I took out a pair of white boots and sat on the bed and put them on my feet with difficulty. I looked up and saw that Lindsay was actually laughing, slightly annoyed, after all, it's not like I've ever worn anything like this. Of course, , it's normal to be squirmy, on Earth I wear cloth shoes.
--------
I woke up early the next morning to a knock on the door, and I opened my eyes in a daze and put on my slippers to answer the door.
It was Lindsay and Daisy standing outside the door.
"Good morning, Ilotia-sama. It’s time to change and go out to wash up."
"Yes, please wait a moment."
Closing the door and changing inside, I went out to go with Lindsay and Daisy.
First Lindsay showed me how to wash up with the items in this world, while Daisy went to prepare breakfast. After breakfast in my room, Lindsay and Daisy took me downstairs with smile, and they seemed happy to serve me.
Walking to the first floor, the master sat on her throne with the back of her hand propping up her face, and the moment they saw her the two maids put away their smiles.
"Good morning, Lord Demon King."
The two maids did not kneel down, but only slightly bent down and bowed their heads to their master.
"Good morning, master."
I followed the maid's example, and shame exploding the moment when my words were uttered.
"Hmm. Lindsay and Daisy, you guys go ahead and do your thing."
The master sat upright on her throne, her expression unemotional. The maids nodded their heads slightly and said yes before heading off to the side passage.
Then I heard the door of the hall gradually open, and the sunlight poured in from behind me.
"Da da da da..."
It was the sound of boots on the floor, and I didn't dare to turn around to look, and in a moment the visitor was standing next to me.
One who was with purple hair, wearing a white, armor-like garment, and a long sword at her waist suddenly came into view.
She bowed slightly towards her master, "Good morning, Lord Demon King."
"Hm."
After the master answered, she stood up straight and never looked at me directly from the beginning to the end, instead, I kept watching her with my afterimage.
"Heath Relia, I'll leave the meeting to you. Organize the army as soon as possible in these few days, and start the war when we are ready."
"Yes."
After the demon called Heath Relia had gone, the master stepped down from her throne.
"Follow me."
"Yes."
I followed behind my master, she was not wearing high heels today. So she was only half a head taller than me, and that imposing feeling was much diminished.
The master walked out of the hall and stood at the steps in front of the door, looking at the sky, the sunlight of the early morning spilling down from the clouds and spreading over the master's face glistening.
