But if Shafney also became interested in Shien, that would be troublesome.
Because this Demon Lord’s abilities weren’t within the Holy Sword’s protection.
If she made a move, it wouldn’t be a laughing matter.
If he accidentally fell for her tricks, what would happen to Shien?
Just thinking about it made Airi’s mood worsen.
Just as Airi was about to issue another warning, Lid spoke first.
“Airi, did you already know that person was the Hero?” Lid stared at Airi, “His exposed identity doesn’t seem to affect your feelings for him. You must have known his identity all along, or perhaps it’s because of his identity that you became interested in him and stayed by his side, right?”
Lid finally revealed the reason behind Airi’s actions.
She had never understood why Airi suddenly went to the Human Realm and became so interested in a human.
Now, the answer seemed to be revealed.
It was because this human wasn’t ordinary at all.
Airi didn’t deny it.
“At first, I did approach him because I discovered his identity,” Airi admitted.
However, the other Demon Lords heard the underlying meaning.
“At first?” Millu tilted her head, confused.
“I see, at first,” Shafney chuckled secretly.
“At first?” Lid’s tone was filled with helplessness.
“So, you’re so fond of him now not because he’s the Hero, but because something else about him attracted you, right?” Kamina hit the nail on the head.
Airi was speechless.
This was the truth.
Airi didn’t think she could hide it from her perceptive sisters.
So, she remained silent, only her childish and cute face showing her displeasure.
Seeing Airi like this, Sara finally spoke again.
“I can’t believe Airi would fall for a Hero one day. This is news that could resurrect countless demons killed by the Hero’s Holy Sword,” Sara said. She had wanted to say this for a long time.
After all, among the Demon Lords present, besides Airi, Sara was the first to know that Shien was the Hero.
Since then, Sara had been preparing for this day.
She knew that once Shien’s identity was exposed, it would definitely cause a huge shock in the Demon Race and the Demon Realm, even affecting the peace that had lasted for a thousand years between the three races.
“The reason I gathered you here today is to discuss this matter,” Sara said, tapping the table, “Tell me, how do you think we should deal with this Hero?”
Sara brought up today’s topic.
Originally, the reason for the Demon Lords’ gathering wasn’t this, but to discuss the emergence of the Original Demon.
But now, Shien’s matter was undoubtedly the most urgent issue that needed to be addressed first.
“We do need to find a solution,” Lid agreed, “Many short-tempered fellows in my territory are causing trouble.”
“Same here,” Kamina said casually, yet her words were terrifying, “I’ve already dealt with several of the most restless ones. If it weren’t for the fact that this Hero is the human Airi favors, I would have let those guys test him.”
“Really?” Airi immediately said, “I heard that you’ve all been more or less lenient in your territories. Many in the Demon Race must have already gone to cause trouble for my person, right?”
“What?” Shafney teased, “Is our little Airi worried about that Hero?”
Airi didn’t bother answering.
Worried?
That was impossible.
As long as these women before her didn’t act, that man wouldn’t be threatened.
Airi was confident about this.
The reason she came to this meeting, despite her impatience, was to restrain her sisters and prevent them from doing anything reckless.
Otherwise, Airi would have already left the Demon Realm and returned to the Human Realm.
She didn’t want to find Shien taken away and “protected” by the God Race when she returned.
Her person could only be protected by her.
Others?
Don’t even think about touching a single hair on his head!
“Let me make this clear to you first,” Airi declared.
“That Hero is mine. Don’t even think about doing anything to him.”
These words made the Demon Lords raise their eyebrows.
“What if we insist?” Kamina asked, looking at Airi.
