The Queen of Death Return
The Deal With the Devil Race

Chapter 23: The Path the Demon King Takes

Six days after the Demon Army attacked.

Me, Ray, Daisy, and the Demon King. We sat in a circle with a round table in the middle. Right now, we are in the room at the Capital Palace to talk about the deal. It took him five days to search for his traitorous subordinates. And that is the Commander and Prime Minister himself. How ironic.

I threw the soul binding item that he gave me a while ago.

"Now ... Demon Lord, what do you want to say?"

During our previous conversation, he had not offered anything to me. Even though he knew who I was, he still did not flinch by directly begging to take care of his own matters in my territory without any lure for me.

"Queen Keres, this is about Satan .. he has risen,"

I had guessed that he wanted to talk about Satan. He said Satan had risen, meaning Satan was dead.

"Oh, so,"

"Looking at your calm reaction, it seems like you already know this,"

Well, thanks to Princess Sharah peeking at your memories.

"Eheem, it's because he's indeed a strong person, he won't die quietly,"

"As a person who has fought against Satan, you must have thought about this a long time ago,"

"B-so,"

Now, find out what he means by Satan who has risen.

"Myri." Ray raised his hand.

This lizard, he made this meeting like a kindergarten.

"What's up, Ray?"

"I've heard stories about Satan from the Elders of the Black Dragon. After experiencing great fatigue from you, Satan met with the First Elder and offered a contract,"

Wait, he already knows about Satan? Why didn't he tell me?!

"Contract?" ask the Demon King.

"Satan offered a high race change to the First Elder. Satan promised to turn the First Elder into a Holy Beast on condition of protecting Satan until his power was restored. However, the First Elder had an overbearing nature, he saw the condition of Satan being so weak that it could kill him in a single strike. The First Elder drove Satan out of his territory. I don't know if Satan also made any offers with the other Dragon tribes or not,"

Well, it turns out that arrogant nature can help too, yes. Hmm ... maybe Satan lost his way and died halfway through. But, hearing about Satan who has risen, means Satan has done something before his death, right? Two Demon King subordinates, I must check on them as soon as possible.

"He's dead, maybe he did something before his death" I said.

"Maybe you're right, Queen,"

I folded both my hands. "Devil King, do you want me to join you to investigate this?"

"You're right,"

"Of course it's not free,"

"Tell me, Queen ...."

 ------------------------

After that meeting, I went towards the place of the Devils. This was not far away, they were behind the Capital Palace. The Demon King went back to the Demon Region to retrieve all of his items. I don't know what those items are, if they belong to the Demon King, they are definitely rare items, right? Haha, I'm kidding. He took the item for war purposes. The war I'm talking about is not a war against another country. He only used it as a form of preparation.

I went by the form of Alissa Hart. It feels more free when you are in this form.

Tents where the Devils stay. The tent they used was almost the same as in my old world. It's just a circle with a fairly wide inside. At least enough to accommodate 10 more people.

I walked leisurely past those Devils. Some of them are watching me. It's very uncomfortable.

So, this is how it feels when you walk past a group of men with a strange look.

Huh uh? The demons I have revived are doing physical training. The magic generator turned out to provide a huge debuff for the Demon race. They had almost lost half of the stat they had. I have indeed never used it on the Devil race, be it in the game or in this world. I was too careless.

I have passed through the Devil's tent and headed into the forest.

I plan to check on the two subordinates of the Demon King. There might be magic left by Satan on both of them. If there isn't, I just need to interrogate them with the magic I once used on the Elves.

"That?"

Two men were tied up in a tree.

I approached them.

Eh?

There's someone in front of them. He sat still and did not make any movement.

A lady? I think I've seen him. Hmmm ... Ah, right, that woman. Huh ....

I approached.

He looked at me with a lethargic face.

What the hell happened to him? Is her lover between these two people?

He opened his mouth slowly. "You ...."

"It looks like I came at the wrong time,"

I sat on the right side of the two men.

"What are you doing here?" ask the woman.

"I don't need your permission in my own territory, do I?"

He's bowed. "You're right,"

I watched these two bound people closely.

They are in an unconscious condition. This was not because of the Demon King's attack, but a reaction to magic. Something triggered a magic that seemed to have been planted in the bodies of the two of them. I felt nothing but the aura of a Devil. The trail is completely gone. The last step I can take.

I pointed my right hand in front of the two men.

*tings

Huh huh? Magic denied. How come? I'll try one more time.

*tings

"Tch!"

Magic rejected! I can't interrogate him. If my magic can't control her body, then they're dead. But they are still alive! It's like ... Their souls are not in that body.

"What's going on?" The demonic woman looked at me in confusion.

"They're both, his soul's sealed,"

He stood up surprised by my words.

"W-how is that possible? Who did it?!"

Do I have to tell him about Satan, too? Hmmm ... Looks like it must be, since he seems to have a relationship with one of these two people.

"Satan, man,"

His face looked confused. "Once again, that name!"

"What do you mean?"

"I can't hear that name,"

Ah, same as me. Uh, that means this woman is also from the God Realm, right?

"Your love is sealed, yes. Do you need any help?"

"What can you do?"

I took the black book from my dimension.

"What's that?" ask her.

I pulled his hand while streaming Mana into the black book.

Maybe it worked.

I saw his face. He just fell silent with a blank look.

"What did you do to the Master!" Someone came and shouted at me.

He prepared to attack me with magic in his hand.

"Oho? There's an interesting little devil." I smile.
