The Demon Dragon Knight Becomes a Servant
Chapter 15: The Difference of the Devil

“Sisa from... rebel?”

“True. They were the demons who supported the reign of Alphorius in his day. And after the throne shift caused by your father, I took over in becoming the next demon king”

“Their movements are moved quite gray. So, when I heard the news the first time was only from Reina. And it's unexpected that they already know your identity as Theo”'s son

Touya is shocked to hear that the incident he was stabbed by Yuri is not a coincidence. Apparently, he had been her target from the beginning. And most likely, the charade he was doing in the lake back then was for the sake of attracting Touya's attention to approach him.

It is unexpected that being the son of a revolutionary demon is a very heavy burden. Whether it is from his life that is very desired by the opponents, and also the surrounding view that provides inner pressure.

Touya himself understood that he had no source of magic energy in his body. Hence, how could he possibly be respected and even embarrass Reina.

Instead of him, Zephkiel approached and patted Touya softly on the shoulder.

“Touya, you are Theo's son. His strength and talent are flowing in your blood. You have to practice getting stronger. Although there is I who will help you, but I cannot always monitor you from afar. Because of that..”.

Touya looked down as if he did not dare to show his face. And when he opened his mouth….

“Mr Zephkiel.. I. am not the son of the revolutionary devil”.

Zephkiel opened his eyes in surprise.

“Eh, Touya. What did you say?”

“You're wrong. I'm just a human who just became a demon thanks to Miss Reina. I am not as talented and great as you might imagine with Lord Theodore”

Zephkiel was inexhaustibly stunned silent at Touya's words. But he tried to convince her.

“Touya, I know this all sounds heavy to you. But, this is the truth. You are indeed Theo's son, I saw you alone from when you were little”

At that moment, Touya raised his face. Making Zephkiel surprised that his gaze back then looked blank like someone who had fallen into the abyss of despair.

“Then, can the child of a talented person like Mr Theo allow not to have a source of magic energy?”

Zephkiel was stunned silently hearing that. Even he had initially thought that it was just Touya's words in order to reject reality. However, when his hand that was still touching Touya's shoulder felt the sensation of empty energy from within his body, Zephkiel was no longer speechless.

“Ti-impossible... Absolutely, no energy...”.

Both were in silence for a moment. Touya who plunged into the abyss of despair. While Zephkiel still inexhaustible how could Touya who became a direct descendant of Theo did not have magic energy. There was not even a trace and also the rest that was in his body in that small touch.

And when both of them were silent, suddenly they heard the sound of unrest from the party room.

“What happened?” touya muttered

“Do not know. But it looks like there's a problem”

Touya and Zephkiel immediately ran into the room again. And it was unexpected, that the backup they saw was that the entire demons seemed to pull over like they were giving space in the middle.

And right in the center of his attention, there was Reina who was standing opposite a man. In contrast to the mood and aura that her nona, Touya now sees the other side of Reina.

One of his palms was blazing with strong energy to release. An aura of intimidation that could even burn and make anyone submit to fear.

“Nona!”

Touya's shout made Reina look back.

“Touya!”

However, the man in front of him turned his head and even laughed when he saw Touya.

“Hah! So he is, your useless butler. A low-class demon, dare to set foot in a castle like this!”

Touya was stunned silent when he heard that. Apparently, the man was looking for trouble by insulting him. Reina herself could not stay silent to hear it.

“Helios, watch your words!”

Helios Alucard's. He was a high-class demon who had noble status within the Alucard family. That arrogance truly represented the rotten nature of the nobles who looked down on others.

“Touya is not a lowly demon!”

“Then you tried to defend him. What a pity, a princess of the demon lord does not have good taste”

Hearing this also made Zephkiel could not stay still and intervene.

“Helios, your words have gone too far, right? You know what this party is for, and you dare to make a riot?!”

Helios was distressed with an aura of darkness emanating out from Zephkiel's body. After all, the one who intervened back then was the demon lord himself. As powerful as Helios was, he was no match for her.

However, a gallant man stood behind him with an arrogant lift to his chin.

“Mr Zephkiel, do you want to find trouble with the Alucard family? If my son is hurt by your actions, then our agreement can be void and..”.

That man is Hollard Alucard. The leader as well as the high-level demons of the Alucard great family. They have an important role and also a great impact in the demon peace faction. Therefore, Zephkiel became pressured not to look for trouble.

His aura disappeared and he stepped back. Reina and Helios started it.

And Helios himself….

“Already, Reina. You're not fit to live with such low-class demons pity. Even I heard, if before he was a human huh?”

Reina could not bear the words of Helios who insulted Touya repeatedly. The palm of his hand that was flared by the aura was raised as if he wanted to be released according to the direction of the glare of his eyes. Reina's insufferable anger she channeled with her energy to wipe Helios out of the underworld.

But suddenly, Touya held on while holding Reina's hand.

The tech…!!

“J-Touya?!”

“Nona. You... no need to defend me”

“Hah?!”

Reina was stunned in surprise when she heard Touya say that. However, when he saw the look on his face, Reina immediately seemed to understand. It was a face of despair and also disappointment. Because of anyone's appeal, Reina was the one who understood the most that Touya did not have magic abilities.

Therefore, what Helios said was mostly true. Weak and incompetent. That's Miyaji Touya.

“Touya. He.. He has insulted you! I won't stay silent!”

“It's enough, miss. I. I don't deserve you to defend. A useless person like me, will only embarrass you..”.

The forceful gnashing of teeth injured Touya's own lips. He tries to hold back his anger at himself, knowing how useless he is to his nona. In fact, he had to be defended by Reina in an argument or force.

Helio himself….

“Hahaha! Look, Reina. He himself understood that he was a lowly demon. Since he already understands, you shouldn't have to waste your energy defending him”

Reina turned her head and looked at him intently.

“Although Touya does not want it, but I will defend him. I'll protect her. Because he's not a lowly demon like you said. She is Touya, butler of my pride!”

Hearing Reina who did not stop defending him made Touya aware. That his surrender and easy to fall was a sad figure and made Reina have to accept the ridicule that Touya should get.

“Nona... thank you”

Both of his legs were carrying his body to stand up. And just then, Touya stood right in front of Reina. Not behind and receiving protection, but now he faces it and will protect his nona's good name.

“But, I told you. If I don't need to be in bela”

Touya looked back while giving a smile to Reina. And at that moment, Riena realized that Touya was not slumped anymore. The smile showed his old nature of returning and never giving up on destiny.

Standing through his own fate, Touya raised his finger and pointed towards Helios.

“And for you. Either you're a top demon or something, but if you have something to say. Say it in front of my face!”
