At that moment, a lot of people heads went blank.
Their minds were filled with the echos of those last few words exchanged.
“That little girl is the Dragon Demon of the Six Great Demon Lords?”
“The Dragon Demon was in our Kingdom? And she was even in the Capital?”
“She had been with that adventurer the whole time? And she was even living in his home?”
“Why?”
All those nobles could only dumbly go over those revelations. From the looks of it, they weren’t able to come back to themselves for a while.
This was especially true for those nobles who have been plotting against Shien in secret. At this moment, their minds were overwhelmed by horror.
They cannot even imagine it. If they actually did try to act against Shien. If they ended up offending or even injuring him. In such a case, just what might the Demon Lord who has been following Shien around do in response to that.
That’s a freaking Demon Lord here!
Ever since the death of the Demon King, the Six Great Demon Lords were the strongest fighting power for the demon race!
It can be said that the Kingdom cannot possibly afford to provoke the Demon Lords. In fact, the entire human race can’t afford to provoke even a single Demon Lord.
The moment they thought of the consequences that might result from them provoking Airi, a number of nobles with impure intentions stared shaking on the inside.
Even Bali and Limgir were the same.
“How is this possible…”
Bali was muttering to himself.
“Damn it…!”
Limgir was both fearful and horrified.
Why did such an insignificant adventurer have the Dragon Demon following him around?
What’s wrong with the world?
It’s complete madness!
The nobles who can’t believe any of this cursed and shuddered in their minds.
The royal family also had expressions of disbelief on their faces.
“That guy…”
Lia looked at Shien with a complicated expression on her face.
“…”
Ancil went completely silent, although he had a strange look in his eyes when he looked at Shien.
Aldia and Charl were still keeping a knee on the ground. They weren’t showing any signs of what they were thinking.
As for Lucy, she glanced at Airi before then glancing at Shien. She had no idea just what she was feeling now.
Not even she had imagined that Airi was actually the Dragon Demon.
Yet, Shien had been draging this Dragon Demon around this whole time. He and the Dragon demon were practically glued to the hip at that.
Lucy really wanted to properly ask him just who gave him such guts that he dared to drag around the king of dragons, who is capable of evaporating the seas with a single dragon breath, like he’s going out on a walk with a kid in tow.
Could it be that the reason why he was able to tame the black dragon of Ataru was all because he had the Dragon Demon with him?
Lucy couldn’t help but start thinking in that direction.
Likely, after all this, a lot of people will also think that as well, right?
But right now, their thoughts had nothing to do with Shien at all.
Shien just wanted to say WTF though.
Although he did more or less guess at Airi’s identity, he really did still want to break out swearing when directly faced with that little girl’s true identity.
After all, one of the six most amazing members of the demon race was actually this girl who was fleecing him every single day in making him shell out his entire savings to buy her expensive deserts. That’s something that Shien really didn’t want to face up to.
However, this is indeed the reality.
Sara on the other hand was quite overjoyed at seeing Airi. Then, she spoke in a happy yet also angry tone.
“Really, Airi. You really did wake up after all. And you didn’t even let anyone know when you woke up and instead sneaked off to the mortal world while making everyone else think that you were still sleeping in your castle. Big sister doesn’t remember raising you as someone like that.”
Sara’s tone had shifted. She no longer gave off a feeling of being far above all. Instead, now she gave off an impression like a close family member. She lectured Airi while also reaching out with her hands like she was planning on picking Airi up.
Unfortunately for Sara, Airi shifted and dodged Sara’s hand without even thinking about it.
“Big sis Sara is here for me after all, huh?” Airi spoke with a very dissatisfied tone, “In other words, then, someone had leaked my information to you, huh?”
As she said that, Airi shifted her gaze toward Jacinta, who had arrived along with Airi.
“Master, I…”
Jacinta’s expressions stiffened into a very ugly looking smile as he got ready to try to explain.
However, Airi didn’t give him any opportunity to do that at all.
“Since you sold me out, then you should have already prepared yourself to be punished for it, right?”
