77 – Correlation between the Demon King and the Hero – 4
“I’m sorry. Boy, no, master...... “Sniff.”
After scolding the owner for a long time, asking what he had done so rudely, Nica apologized, shedding tears.
It ended at this point because I stopped Beatrice in the middle, otherwise the nagging would have lasted much longer. That was exactly the look on his face when he was scolded.
“...... Big, big. I have a similar relationship with you. “This is something that can never happen as a made-up body.”
The reason Nica reacted that way was because she thought I had a secret relationship with Beatrice. He thought he was trying to enjoy a secret relationship while avoiding others’ attention, even going so far as to stage a self-made play.
Beatrice cares about me more than just a master, and I trust Beatrice more than just a maid. Enough to reveal Nika’s true identity.
Our attitude was also conducive to such misunderstandings. Ever since I came here, I thought it was strange that he was overly confident, but that incident just made me more confident.
It was obviously wrong.
It’s true that we have a very special relationship, but that’s because Beatrice also acts as a mother half of the time.
I spent almost half of my childhood with Beatrice, so of course their relationship is much more special than that between a master and a maid. It would be weirder if it weren’t so.
“Just now, Master was just scolding this lacking and inadequate maid. Do you understand?”

“But her face was very red.”
“How dare you criticize me for my safety!!!!!!”
“Huh, huh?! Sorry! Please forgive me!”
As if Nika was trying to prove that she was not wrong, she tried to refute her, but she fell flat again. Beatrice was turning her face away from me and fanning her hands.
“Nika Justera.”
“Yes, yes! “Master maid!”
“Please help the master well and return to the mansion.”
“Yes! All right!”
Her eyes glanced at me. There was still no direct eye contact.
“I will go first, master. “Please come back quickly because your friends might be waiting.”
“Uh, yes. Okay?”
Beatrice lay flat on the floor, didn’t even look at Nica, and only gave me a nod before she hurried back into the mansion. She sighed in relief, saying that Nika lived.
She then raised her body and glanced at me, then carefully opened her mouth.
“Hey...... Young master. “No, master?”
“Why?”
“The friend with purple hair who was in her room...... “Are you by any chance the person I’m guessing?”
From the way he asked such a question, he seemed to have realized that he was the devil and was so nervous. There was no particular reason to deny it, so he nodded.
“That’s right. “It’s the devil.”
“...... “It may be an indecent question, but why is the Demon King here?”
I thought about the answer for a moment. First of all, the answer that he was a possessed person was completely out of the question, and I couldn’t think of any other answer.
“It wouldn’t be good to know, but do you really want to hear it?”
“Why did you come here? Do you need more cake?”
When I asked a question, recalling the memory of being satisfied after eating three cakes by myself during dinner, Elisiere cleared his throat loudly.
“I came because I have something to tell you. It’s a story about a maid and a warrior. She was the maid who called herself Nica Justa, and if her eyes were not mistaken, she was most likely a succubus. “Has her eyes been correct?”
“You saw it right. That’s right, succubus.”
I briefly explained what happened with Nika.
Because she was a succubus who had never killed a human, Elisier nodded alone when she was told that she saved her life by engraving an obedience spell on her.
“I think I know the reason.”
“For what reason?”
“That is the reason why I have never been able to inhale. “Do you know that the current Succubus Queen is a very old being?”
“No. “This is the first time I’ve heard of it.”
There were very few ways to find out information about demons. The information that Priscilla and Rosaria can provide is extremely limited to what they have personally heard or seen.
“Originally, the Succubus Queen goes through a process called ‘succession’ every approximately three hundred years. The purpose is to amplify the power and abilities of the previous Queen by passing on all of her abilities to her successor. In the process, the previous Queen’s lifespan expires and she dies.”
“But?”
“However, the current Succubus Queen, Astaroth, has maintained her position for over a thousand years. At least, that’s according to the information I found out when Yeo was possessed.”
“...... How?”
“Until now, Astaroth’s own power had been so strong that she claimed it was so and believed it...... She could tell by looking at the maid. “Astaroth’s words are false.”
Elisier brightened her eyes.
“Isn’t it a direct denial of the customs of the succubus that there is no succession even though there is a succubus who can feel the Queen’s bloodline?”
“Nikaga? “You feel Queen’s bloodline?”
I asked back in surprise. At the same time, the hand that was caressing her cheek must have lost strength without her knowing, and Priscilla turned over with her slightly distorted face saying “Ugh”.
I patted his cheek again to calm him down and asked a question.
“So does this mean that Nika is a succubus who should have become queen originally?”
“It will probably be like that. Did she say that she has never been able to inhale? It is clear that that b*tch, Astaroth, deliberately set out to sabotage us. This is probably to prevent the Queen’s bloodline from blossoming. A succubus is a race that awakens through absorption. It is clear that the reason she was able to maintain her position as Queen for over a thousand years was because she did the same thing to other candidates who have appeared so far. “It’s funny that she has so much power on such a topic.”
A puzzle was neatly put together in my head.
The chairman said that the fact that the succubus did not experience infatuation was likely because her mother had died before that, and Elysier also said that the current queen has maintained her position for over a thousand years.
If it was all to keep Nika in check because she was the next queen, then she was established as a fact.
The question has been resolved. Although she was a succubus who had never experienced s*xual intercourse, there was a reason why she was put into the operation to take me to the Queen.
If you succeed, it’s good, but if you fail, someone who could threaten your position will die at the hands of the chairman.
However, not all questions were resolved.
“...... But, as Elisier said, if it was to keep the next queen in check, why did she keep her alive until now instead of killing her right away? “Wouldn’t it be much cleaner to kill her instead of leaving her alive and neglecting her?”
“That is not Yeo’s domain. She will do everything in her power to help you, and if you capture it later, she will ask you directly. And, hide this fact from yourself. “Nothing good will happen to her if we find out.”
“Okay. “Then what does this thing about heroes mean?”
Elisier, who had paused slightly at those words, opened her mouth in a slightly subdued voice.
“Can you find a way to break her magic sword?”
