41.After A Simple Raid

We directly used the camp of the defeated humans to rest in place.

I saw that the faces of the soldiers of Demon Kingdom were covered with joy. The whole camp was full of enjoyable chattering incessantly.

The master standing beside me also showed a faint smile.

It seems that a victory in a war can really boost morale drastically, and these Demon soldiers were all full of energy, greeting us as they carried their things past us.

"Lord Demon King, Lord Ilotia."

The master nodded in response to them. Then the master was walking and observing the human camp, and also supervising the work of the demon soldiers.

Occasionally the master would encounter those demon soldiers who stopped working and chatter because of happiness, but the master just scolded them, and did not kill them.

The master stopped and looked at me.

"If you feel bored, you don't have to follow me."

I nodded, and the master went on to inspect the surrounding area.

I turned around, and walked towards the less crowded area.

To be honest, although I don't hate war, I don't like fighting. To put it simply I wouldn't fight on the battlefield if it were not necessary.

"Hey, Ilotia."

Nora suddenly appeared from behind me and patted me on the shoulder.

"You guy, I'm so envious. You don't have to do anything. You can slack off here, which makes me want to befriend that eccentric, Demon King."

I turned my head to look over, and Nora's face was shining with the same joyful smile as the soldiers.

"Why are you so calm?"

Nora looked at me suspiciously after seeing my face.

"No, I'm happy too."

I am happy indeed, just not because of the victory in the war.

"That's okay. I thought you were really like that guy, Vinales. We've gained a big victory but she didn’t smile."

Nora and I sat on the fallen tree on the ground, with her arm on my shoulder.

"That eccentric, Demon King is always so cool. Well, every time she goes into battle herself, my thunder is overshadowed by her."

Every time does she go into battle personally?

"Does she often lead troops into battle herself?"

"Yes, she is much better than us. Look, the death toll of our demons in this war is not more than 200, and the number of serious injuries is only a few dozen. It’s so amazing."

When Nora said , her expression became admiring.

"You mean...why can’t this guy be so good at running our Demon Kingdom? Hey, I forget it again. You are not from this world."

Then she gave me a curious look again.

"What was your original world? Would there be wars as often as here?"

I rolled my eyes and thought. I don’t know how to say. It's really not easy to explain it.

”Well ...to put it simply, there are many countries in my original world. The one I'm in has been at peace for almost a hundred years."

" ...Almost a hundred years?"

Nora looked shocked.

"I only know there was a longer peaceful time when the parents of that eccentric, Demon King, were still around. It's really a miracle that there was peace for so long."

It was the last Demon King again. However, if the last Demon King loved peace so much, why would the master, as their daughter, be so fond of war?

"Why doesn't the master manage the kingdom in the same way as the last Demon King did?"

"I don't know. I've been one of the five generals for more than thirty years, and I've lived as long as I can."

"Nora!"

Just as Nora's words fell, a sound came from behind.

Then Nora became angry.

We turned our heads together to look over, it was Vinales who was standing in the distance and looking at Nora with dissatisfaction.

"Vinales, you are really strict. Can't I be a little lazy? Ilotia, I’ll talk to you in my convenience."

Nora stood up with a slight leap and ran towards Vinales.

Looking at the back of Nora and Vinales, I pondered. Has the master been too good to me lately? The master hasn’t given me beating, scolding, and she hasn’t been angry at me. Instead she becomes gentle and attentive.

And now the master has not turned off my tenth layers of power. I can escape so fast in a day with the tenth layers of power. Even if the master can locate me, it will take a lot of time to find me. Is it right?

I don't want to run away now, and I've even adapted to this life.

Because I feel that there are some benefits of being a slave here. The five generals are busy with work, while I can be bored and dull here.

The identity of the Demon King's exclusive slave is too comfortable so that I want to stay in this way.
