That Day I Became A Daughter Of The Demon Lord
Episode 39's

"Arcy Greamory, talking to him takes extra patience. He is a man whose mouth is very spicy."

Yeah, like a woman.

"But even though he has a spicy mouth and likes to give criticism, he has a very intelligent brain. He set the war strategy for the kingdom. He was also the one who helped catch the savage woman who poisoned you when you were little. If you want to talk to him, bring him a black apple. He'll listen to you."

Okay, noted.

"Last, Rekta Marchosias."

I frowned. Why did Edgar talk about it? "Rectal?"

"Yes, Rekta. He's also one of the royal commanders, you know?"

I'm shaking. "No, I just found out."

"He didn't tell you?"

I'm back to shaking. "He's not so much of a story."

I cast a spell, took out a glass of water using magic. I'm still not as good as Edgar, but if he keeps sharpening he says I can be much better than him.

"He was just a dog that was so young when I found him on the edge of the forest. Her tiny body was severely injured, partly by incisions of sharp objects, partly by Venus' spines. I treated his wound until it healed. As a thank you, he took an oath of allegiance to me and fought with all his might to be needed. And he ended up being one of my commanders."

I nodded small. The story is exactly what Rekta told me. "Then how can he be my personal bodyguard?"

"When you were very young, Romeo told his confidants to put poison in your food. I'm breathless. You ate that food and slept for days."

I remember this incident. The time when Lina put poisonous mushrooms into her biscuits.

"Rekta just got home from the training camp. I immediately told him to go to the Amber residence. And when he first saw you, he immediately asked to be your personal bodyguard. I don't know why, I don't know. I let him because I believe him."

"Ooh, so yeah."

The food on the table is over. But honestly I still want to ask him to tell me something. Especially about Brezenska, the reason Romeo was after me, the reason he wanted to kill me when I was a kid, why he said Brezenska was a power-hungry cunning woman when Rekta told me that Brezenska was a very good woman.

"Well, I'm going to go to the room now."

I stood up, began to tidy up Edgar's desk and put the dirty dishes on the pushtable. It seems like tonight is enough to get here. Then Edgar has an appointment with Shinji. He won't be able to tell you much longer.

"You don't want to ask about Brezenska?"

DOR'S! He can read my facial expressions.

"That means right. You did see me talking to the painting."

I lowered my head, nodding slowly while biting my lower lip. "Papa angry?"

He patted his couch. "Sit down, I'll tell you something."

"But papa has an appointment with Shinji, what—"

"He can wait" said Edgar, creating a small diameter magic circle in his hand. A dark purple bat came out from there. He came out the window and flew away.

I moved, sat down beside him.

"I married her about a thousand years ago. I fell in love with her gentle demeanor. I married her not only out of love, but also wanted to save her."

I frowned. "Save him from what?"

"Father, Romeo. It's also what keeps me from handing you over to him."

"Why, pa?"

"He'll make you work like a slave."
