Duke Syswitz' office. The demon earl Silocke was standing in front of it with an anxious heart. It was because the earl 'Han' was guarding the office like a gatekeeper.
'Han.'
No one knew what his real name was. Everyone just called him Han. He was an 'earl' like Silocke but he was a very unusual fellow. It was because he was in touch with Asmodeus, a demon king of 32 demon realms. Maybe Duke Syswitz kept him around because he was aware of this fact.
Silocke felt inwardly strained and finally opened his mouth. “I have something to say to the duke.”
“Tell me. I will let him know.”
“It is difficult.”
“The duke is currently in an emergency meeting with the Gilobat envoy.”
“When will it finish?”
“I don't know.”
Silocke clicked his tongue. If he told this guy, Han would clearly take all the credit. Thus, Silocke replied, “It's fine. It isn't urgent so I will wait.”
Han's eyebrows twitched at the words. Silocke liked seeing this expression.
'Son of a bitch, keep wondering.'
The information that Silocke reported was simple.
-A civilian presumed to be a marquis of Gilobat has appeared in public.
Of course, it wasn't bad to say this but the more he thought about it, the stranger things seemed. Silocke thought for a moment before staring closely at the duke's office.
“Is a marquis from Gilobat inside there?”
“Yes.”
“He must've come straight here without going anywhere else.”
“That is the case.”
Silocke felt delighted at the reply.
'Indeed, my guess is correct.'
He didn't know for certain but there shouldn't be two marquis in the Gilobat delegation. A marquis grade should be the leader of the delegation. It was very likely that the citizen he met wasn't a marquis of Gilobat and was pretending to be a demon noble.
This alone was worth reporting. It might not be big but it would help with his performance review.
Han saw the hesitating Silocke and opened his mouth. “Since you are wandering around, you must also be wondering who the next demon king will be.”
“Ah, well… That's right.”
It was a misunderstanding but it wasn't a bad idea to ask about this misunderstanding.
“Is it because of the rumours of the demon king emerging that the Gilobat delegation came to visit?”
“I can't tell you more but it is similar.”
“The story of the demon king, it is a bit funny… don't you think so?”
The source of the rumours was unknown yet these rumours shook the entire 73rd Demon Realm.
Silocke inwardly found this situation laughable.
Syswitz.
Gilobat.
Melledon.
Bercan.
For the past few hundred years, the 73rd Demon Realm had been properly balanced by these four dukes. The peace that had been maintained for hundreds of years was now shaking because of a rumour. It was a story without any realism.
Surprisingly, it was a face I already knew.
