The banquet this night is destined to become a legend that will shake the entire Capital.
It was merely a viscount’s ennobling banquet, yet not only did countless dukes and marquis show up, even the entire royal family had arrived to grace the banquet with their presence. That alone was enough to make a commotion.
However, compared to the two who showed up near the end, all those were merely small potatoes.
———— [Moon Demon].
———— [Dragon Demon].
Two of the Six Great Demon Lords. The sovereign of the demon world and the king of all dragons. The fact that they both showed up in this banquet was one thing, but they’re even staying in the Bayztrot home now. For something so unbelievable, never mind shaking the entire Capital, it would probably shake the entire mortal world.
Even the divine realm might very well end up alarmed with this turn of events and take action as a result. It’s very possible.
Either way, the nobles who participated in this banquet were all in a dazed state afterwards the entire time. It was only after the banquet ended that they finally left the Baytrot home while holding an emotion that could be either excitement or nervousness.
As for Sara, she really did stay and move in.
However, this seemed to have Airi upset.
Airi seemed to really want to kick her sister out.
“Even though big sis Sara is obviously such a busy person, why do you still have time to hang around and act childish?”
Airi was questioning.
“I don’t dare. Anyways, I’m not leaving unless little Airi also goes back with me.”
Saras really was acting like she was a spoiled kid.
The sisters just started arguing in the middle of the garden. All the demons to the side like Jacinta, Jace, and Liece could only watch on with bitter smiles.
As for the host of this banquet, Shien was dragged to the side by Lucy and the other royals.
“You really intend on letting her stay at my place?”
Shien also finally got the chance to show his displeasure to Lucy and the others.
If not for the fact that Lucy stopped him, then the would definitely have kicked Sara out just then.
He didn’t care if she’s the head of the demon race or the sovereign of the demon world. He has Airi on his side after all, so Shien simply did not believe that Sara would really dare to cause trouble here.
However, the royal family most definitely did not want any chance of Sara going on a rampage within the Capital.
Therefore, everyone, including Lucy, had a helpless look on their faces.
“Do you really intend on refusing then?” Lia chuckled nervously, “That’s lady Sara, the leader of the Six Great Demon Lords. If anything were to make her unhappy, then the Capital or even the Kingdom will done for.”
That was everyone’s greatest fear.
Even Ancil looked like he was helpless here.
“Lady Sara just wants to take her sister back with her, after all, and she’s only staying here for a little while. There’s no need to cause offense for such a minor matter.” Ancil patted Shien’s back as he spoke in reminiscence, “Don’t push it now. Being able to have the sovereign of the demon world stay in your home is an unbelievable honor and source of backing. After the incident today, the Kingdom’s evaluation of you will definitely be completely overturned.”
At the very least, Ancil himself had overturned his own previous evaluation of Shien.
He had thought that he had already been considering Shien very highly, but he could not have possibly imagined that Shien would bring him such a huge surpise.
Either way, there was just one thing that Ancil really wanted to ask Shien. Just how did Shien end up stealing away… Cough. Gain good relations with the most reclusive of the Six Demon Lords…
Just the fact that Shien has a Demon Lord backing him will make it so that, from now on, the entirety of humanity will have to carefully consider things before trying anything against him.
There are no more Heroes anymore. The highest gods has also secluded herself from the world. Thus, currently, the only ones capable of opposing the Six Great Demon Lords are the Three Great Goddesses in the divine realm. Humanity’s strength alone is no longer capable of going against the Demon Lords.
For that reason, Ancil himself felt like he too should properly digest the news revealed today. That he should use that time to properly consider just what he should do next, as well as what kind of attitude he should take towards Shien.
As for right this moment, he can only try to first appease Sara.
“Don’t worry.”
Lucy also spoke up. She focused on Shien as she begun explaining.
“Unlike the extremely reclusive Dragon Demon, Lady Sara is the sovereign of the demon race, the leader of the demon world. She personally deals with practically all matters, large and small alike, within the demon world. She’s even responsible for communications with the gods and mortals as well. The other Demon Lords might either move about as they like or are only responsible for matters within their own territory, but Lady Sara is different. Therefore, there’s no way that Lady Sara would have all that much time to waste at your place.”
That’s the truth there.
Rather, given Sara’s position and how busy she usually is, the fact that she’s choosing to stay and temporarily live here is the actual strange part of all this.
Shien had somewhat understood what Lucy was implying.
“You’re saying that the matter of the Moon Demon choosing to stay here may very well be her plan form the start?”
Shien had more or less understood the reasoning behind it.
“I think so as well.” Lucy nodded without denying it, “Based on rumors, Lady Sara is a very capable Demon Lord. She held the greatest trust of Demon King ever since she was born, and she has been helping the Demon King govern the demon race the entire time. When she was directing the battle between demons and gods at the front lines, she had won great victories over and over. She is attributed with a great deal of the credit for the demon race having beaten the gods and mortals so handily.
“Supposedly, Lady Sara also has a pair of unique Eyes of Wisdom. Not only can she see through the constantly shifting situation on the battlefield, it also allows her to see through everything someone might be hiding, making her impossible to trick or be lied to.”
When he heard Lucy’s words, Shien immediately remembered the feeling of being seen through by Sara back when he first met her.
Those eyes which felt like they could see through all his secrets had indeed made a deep impression on him.
Thus, as one who has such a power and intelligence, there’s naturally no way that the sovereign of the demon world would throw a tantrum and stubbornly try to remain here without any reason.
That is, unless this was something that she had planed on doing the whole time.
“In my opinion, Lady Sara’s reason for coming to the mortal world to find her ladyship the Dragon Demon should originally have been to keep the lady Dragon Demon from being tricked and used by humans. I’m thinking that it’s for that reason that she wants to bring Lady Airi back with her, right?”
Lucy pointed that out.
