Demon Laws
Chapter 39: The Heart of the King

“Aragon Roland came here with a broken ship. Unfortunately, the ship should not have been moored on this island. The ship was swallowed, while Aragon was brought by me here. Here too, I made some deals with him.” Chris said a little ambiguously.

However, the signal was enough.

Dewey must have read the history of the Roland Empire. In fact, the first few years after he came to this world, the mentor that Earl Raymond sought for him, taught Dewey many things. Dewey also read biographies of the founding emperors of the empire. He read those books like a novel.

Aragon Roland, the founder of the great Roland Empire. According to Dewey, Aragon's life could almost be likened to the legendary novel he had read in his previous life.

Aragon has luck and strange experiences like the main character in the novel. In short, he was very lucky and his life was very strong.

The biography describes the experience of the founding emperor in great detail. Aragon was born into a declining aristocratic family. He was not even the eldest son in his family, but rather the third son. He had no right to bequeath titles, and had loved adventure activities since childhood.

At the age of sixteen, he left home to explore. Aragon had once joined several mercenary teams. He was a young man filled with adventurous fantasies.

That era was the most adventurous era on the mainland, in contrast to the land that now only flew the flag of the Roland Empire with thorns.

In that era, the Roland mainland was an era where countries fought wars. Local wars do not stop happening on the mainland, large and small countries swallow each other. War, chaos, conspiracy. It could be said that there was an era of heroes and legends.

Aragon, who is sixteen years old, is enamored of sea adventures after joining a team of mercenaries for years.

At the age of twenty-one, Aragon was already a superior swordsman. He had the savings collected during his time as a mercenary. So, he invested all his property in merchant ships and became adventurous in maritime trade.

The first experience of the sea directly made Aragon suffered a blow. His ship was in an accident and destroyed. Only he miraculously escaped death.

All historians think, had there not been such an accident, then the great founding emperor of the empire might have ended up being a successful maritime merchant, not an emperor.

However, because of this, Aragon returned home after the dream of maritime trade was destroyed. His father died and divided all the possessions for his sons. Aragon gets the least.

His father was only a low-level noble with a small title. The legacy left behind will certainly not be much. Aragon even took a step that was wrong in the eyes of others. He used all his property to organize a small private army.

This property-wasting behavior was ridiculed by everyone, because the hometown of Aragon at that time was a peaceful country at the far end of land far from war. So, protection from private forces is not at all needed.

But then, Aragon wins the bet. In less than half a year, war broke out and this small country was engaged in a war between the big countries. They were annexed in one month, then captured by two major powers.

Both Aragonese brothers died in the war. Manor and agriculture were burned and looted by the rebels.

Aragon then brought his personal army to join forces from one of the great nations, and got a military rank that was not low.

After this, Aragon began to show incredible strength.

He displayed his strength, even killing the enemy general who was a high-ranking knight on the mainland at this moment in the war. Later, Aragon amassed many services in the war.

After the war ended, he obtained a title and a plot of land much larger than his father's land.

Aragon surprisingly rejected the call of the great country, withdrew from the army, then switched to the Magic Union. In less than a year, she obtained the qualifications of a witch.

Three years later, the war happened again, and Aragon was already a high-level mage back then.

No one has been able to do that throughout history.

Someone once asked the reason why Aragon became a witch. The answer of this young noble back then was, “My forces need the cooperation of witches. Unfortunately, witches are too rare that I cannot recruit witches. Therefore, I can only learn magic by myself.”

When war broke out again, the country of Aragon was in danger, even the capital was besieged by the enemy for three months. The king lowered the order, having all the nobles in the country lead an army to help the country. And the private army of Aragon arrived last.

Upon the arrival of Aragon there, the enemy and his country were tired of fighting.

Aragon undoubtedly joined at the right time.

In the final battle, Aragon once again killed the enemy commander who was a great knight. Later in the next witch battle, Aragon uses a forbidden spell to kill the head of the enemy witch.

The war situation deteriorated. After that, the war ended, the broken country was almost controlled by Aragon. At that time, the king became Aragon as Duke.

A year later, the king died of illness. Historians have long debated this issue. The majority thought that the time of the king's death was too ‘coincidence’. Just when the reputation of Aragon skyrocketed, the king died and left no descendants. It makes the supreme leadership of the country fall in a condition without an heir. While there is no clear record, history implicitly implies that the issue may be closely related to the founding emperors of the empire.

The one who benefited the most was undoubtedly Aragon.

She married the king's nephew, then made him queen.

Three years later, the queen died of illness, Aragon was officially crowned as His Majesty the King.

In the next history.

Aragon is known as the invincible commander. He brought his army to war and destroyed many countries. It took less than fifteen years to unify the entire land and pin this thorny flower flag all over the land. He created the Roland Empire that has been maintained to this day.

It's all like the story in a saga novel, right?

Dewey tried to remember the life story of the founding emperor as much as possible.

Obviously, as Chris says, Aragon meets this demon maid on his first failed sea adventure.

Then, Aragon suddenly stood on a land of chaos, right after the sea adventure was over.

That founding emperor must have profited from the deal with this demonic servant.

Think of Aragonese life as near miraculous, as well as its exploits. Then, when this demon maid called out the word ‘deal’ to Dewey, Dewey suddenly felt his flat heart for a dozen years start pounding.

“Cute little nobleman, your heart is pounding,” said Chris smiling.

Dewey took a deep breath. “Dear Lord Chris, my heart is pounding because I'm tempted by the devil.”

Aragon's strange smile became wider. She suddenly shook her hands, Vivian and Joanna groaned together, then fainted.

Opportunity is in sight.

Dewey's breath began to hunt. “Deal, yes. Try saying, what can you give and what will you take from me?”

Chris did not immediately answer Dewey's question, but instead asked, “Do you not want to ask what I gave to Aragon at that time?”

“I think I can guess it,” Dewey replied after pondering.

What did Chris give to Aragon?

First, Dewey thought of the power of Aragon; strong martial arts and also high-level magic power.

Both of these things make Aragon has the status of a strong man who stands on the top of the mainland. He can kill the enemy's strongest warrior, can also defeat the enemy's magician on the battlefield. And managed to create the image of an invincible commander, making thousands of soldiers follow and worship him.

At the same time, Dewey suspects one thing.

In recorded history, Aragon has always fought for his entire life, but never seemed to be injured. Even in his old age, he was not sick and suffering, but died one night in his sleep.

His life is near perfect.

“In addition to the power of martial arts and magic, you also gave him an immortal body?” ask Dewey.

“Not eternal, but body without fatal point.” Chris smiled. “Just when Aragon left this place, I let out his heart. He's gone from here, but his heart stays in this place forever. So, he's very hard to hurt. Because any wound or any fatal poison cannot hurt his heart. His heart is on me.”

The corners of Dewey's lips and eyes twitched together.

A heart?

“Don't you want my heart too?” Dewey looked at Chris suspiciously. “What did you take his heart for? Is it to eat? Fried or burned?”

“Not.” Chris did not care about Dewey's sarcasm, only replied calmly. “I took his heart just for the memories. The heart of a real king. What collection is more interesting than the heart of the king?”

Dewey sighed. Even though he felt that this was not as simple as Chris, he could not do anything if Chris did not want to tell the truth.

“You only took the heart of Aragon?” Dewey. “No other terms?”

Chris answered very simply. “No, just a heart.”

Seeing Dewey's confused gaze, Chris smiled as he added. “You can't imagine how much fun it is to hold the heart of the king you created, my dear little noble.”

Dewey sighed.

“Alright, what will you take from me?” Dewey said with a smile. “If you want my heart, I can't guarantee I'll agree.”

“No, no, no. A king's heart is enough as a collection. I don't like to repeat the same thing.” Chris smiled. “Moreover, many years have passed, my abilities have suffered setbacks. I may not be able to give you a power as strong as Aragon. Aragon took half my magic when I left. Otherwise, do you think a knight can become a great magician easily?”

Don't-don't…. Dewey whistling.

“In addition, Aragon finally also broke our agreement. He did not finalize the last terms in our deal.” Chris shakes. “So I found that a once-in-a-lifetime deal was very risky for me. If you don't keep your word after getting out of here, I can't do anything either. Because I'm a prisoner locked up here. I can't leave this little island. So, learning from the last experience, I've come up with an idea. I'll split our deal into sections to complete instead of handing it all over to you all at once.”

“For example?” He raised his eyebrows with curiosity.

“For example, I can give you a sweet start first, my dear little noble. Then, you will have to do some things as per my request. You can meet me again after finishing it, then I will give you another reward.” Chris smiled cunningly.

“What kind of sweet start?”

“Whatever you want.” Chris smiled wickedly.

His voice also sounded seductive.

“I can give you everything. Although it was not too big, it was enough to make anyone tempted. If you like women, I can give you a pair of ‘mata mesmerizing’. When you stare at any woman, she will fall in love with you. For example, these two witch girls. If you like it, you just stare at them, and they will be willing to dance naked in front of you. You like the divine devotee though, you just look at him, then he can strip off his robe and show you his beautiful body, letting you do as you please.”

Uh, looks kind of tempted.

Dewey sighed. This was indeed a good condition, but it did not seem like it was enough to make Dewey nod his head.

“You know that I am a noble. I guess I shouldn't lack women,” reject Dewey smooth. “Again, I'm not a very perverted man.”

“Good. If you are not in a hurry to want a woman, I can give you the dragon heart. Your body looks very weak now. After replacing your heart with a dragon heart, then your body will become strong quickly. You will have the strength of a dragon. You can become an invincible warrior on the battlefield. I can also give you another gift, for example letting you use dragon magic.”

Dewey imagined himself turning into a strong muscular man.

Uh, better forget it.

“Sorry, I'm less interested in war. Strong martial arts can't make me feel safe. Judging from history, in fact the strong soldiers are only accomplices to the real powerful.”

“Then, I give you power.” Chris thought. “If you like power, I can give you the ability to read the minds of others, so that your eyes can see the hypocrisy of the enemy, and your ears can immediately hear the voice of his heart. It can make you excel in politics. With your intelligent brain, you will become a powerful person in no time.”

“I am the eldest son of the imperial deputy high command.” Dewey sneered, “The first heir of the Rollin family. Do you think I will worry about my standing and power later on? Soon, my father will become the imperial military commander, even becoming the imperial prime minister. And most likely, I could inherit everything from my father. So sorry, this proposal of yours also cannot shake me.”

Actually, Dewey lied.

However, being imprisoned on the island, Chris has no idea that Dewey has lost the position of heir in the family.

A thousand-year-old monster as powerful and wise as Chris was could not contain his anger.

“Little nobleman, what do you really want?!”
