The Betrayed Devil No Longer Hides His Power

chapter 22



22 – The fool, the fool, the fool who has no idea 11

Saint Frieza appears before your eyes.

I thought of trying to contact her, but seeing her come directly in front of us at her really unexpected timing, me and her demons automatically set the day on alert.

“Crassus, how did this happen?”

– “Sorry… He begged, down to his knees, to somehow let him see his lord… “

“Yes?”

“Ah… no, wait, what? Is that prostitute? What are you kneeling for?”

Hella and Fenrir look bewildered at Crassus’ answer.

And it was the same for me.

In the process of discussing peace, we had a limited relationship to some extent, but the other party was still a saint.

He is a person who can directly represent the will of God along with the pope of the elven kingdom,

A member of the warrior party, originally the enemy of the demon king.

Such a man, alone here in the middle of enemy lines…

The fact that he even got down to her knees to enter,

It made me question the costume, with considerable embarrassment.

“Looks like there’s something I want to say, so let’s try it.”

“… “

Regarding my words, Frieza just looked this way with a blank expression.

Seeing that, Hella and Fenrir automatically put their hands on the hilt.

An attitude as if he would not tolerate a clumsy surprise attack.

I also watched her movements while protecting myself with magical powers in case of an emergency.

Then.

– Tulseok!

“… Huh?”

“Huh?”

The next moment, the scene caught our eyes.

It is…

Her kneeling on the bare floor…

It was the figure of the saintess Freeza.

I had heard that he had previously knelt down to come here, but to be honest, I was dubious about the situation.

Seeing that actually happening right in front of our eyes, the executives and I had no choice but to keep our mouths shut for a moment.

Towards us who are so caught up in bewilderment and unable to say anything.

Saint Frieder said while shedding tears.

“Sorry… do. Really… I’m really sorry… Demon King… And the demons here… “

“!… “

Unexpected Frieza’s apology.

She was definitely kind to us until the end, so she could have some regrets.

However,

As a saint who serves God.

Her apology for kneeling only in front of God until the moment she died in the bad ending.

For me, who knew the original work, it was approaching with considerable weight.

“… I don’t think you have anything to apologize for. Know. That you weren’t there when the other warrior party attacked me. And the fact that he didn’t show up in the demon hunt that followed.”

“No… everything is my fault… As a body that obeys God’s will, as a body that must pursue peace more than anyone else, in the end, we couldn’t stop their betrayal and made everything go wrong. Demon King… Please… Please punish me for this!”

Frieza was weeping as she bowed her head on the floor.

Strictly speaking, it was hard to see her taking so much responsibility in this case.

As I said with my own mouth, if I had to mention her sins, she was at most neglecting the situation.

Even judging from the present appearance, it could be said that it was a case where he tried to prevent the situation in his own way, but failed.

But, nonetheless, she came to apologize to me.

She felt guilty about the atrocities of the warrior party and the free races.

And,

Looking at her like this,

Although it was new to me, I could see that the girl in front of her had not become a saint for nothing.

Usually, when a person makes a mistake, they are in a hurry to cover it up or pass it on.

But now she is,

Far from leaving the guilt behind, she suffered while holding it, and had come to this place, which was practically a dead limb, alone to apologize.

As a human being, regardless of race, we can only admire.

Looking at her who is suffering like that, sincerely asking for her forgiveness.

I said in a quiet voice.

“Forgive me. Can I say that?”

“! Ah…”

“Honestly, I don’t think this is your fault. As I said, those who should be punished must be the warrior party and free race lords who led this.”

“… “

“But, if this can make you feel comfortable… I will forgive you. The sins you committed against our demons.”

“Don’t… Devil… Neim!”

After those words, Freeza suddenly came into my arms as he was.

I felt a bit embarrassed by her appearance, but as I watched her burst into tears like her little child, I could only calm her down without a word.

– “Knapped!”

– “Awesome!”

Suddenly, a sharp sound came from behind.

Feeling a strange chill at the sound of something hard breaking.

I couldn’t help but hope that this situation would be sorted out as quickly as possible.

*

“Ummm… “

“Chit… “

Freeza, a saintess who finally stopped crying and calmed down.

However, the expression of her Hella and Fenrir watching her at this moment was absolutely not good.

It is understandable that the saintess came to apologize directly, and she acknowledged that intention.

Also, given that she was not directly at fault, both of them could accept her apology.

But apart from this fact.

They are in a situation that is happening right in front of their eyes at this moment.

For some reason, I couldn’t help but frown at the sight of the saintess standing next to the demon king.

‘That b*tch… Could it be that the apology was an excuse and that he simply came to the Demon Lord?’

‘b*tch.. b*tch like a stray cat… Now I see that she is not a saint, but a whore? Where did she put that filthy hand on the shoulder of her Maou-sama… ‘

Protecting the master… No, erase that justification.

As a woman who has a heart for her master at heart, they are wary of Frieza, who does not want to leave the side of the demon king.

But even so, in this situation, they couldn’t stop Frieza or move it elsewhere.

The reason was simple.

What she was doing at this moment was to keep her map open and tell her the weak points of Sagunto Castle and the nearby area.

“Archers are patrolling this side, but most of them are empty now. But this beacon is always guarded by people, even in case of emergency. If we can take this side by surprise, it will do our best to delay news of this place.”

“I see. No matter how much I was, I didn’t know these details, but it will be quite a reference.”

Frieza is teaching us how to reliably drive those who could have been considered allies just a few hours ago to death.

However, this was not simply due to guilt towards the demon king.

A demon king determined to destroy the world.

Frieza did not object to this.

Her reaction was surprising as a saint, but

About this, Frieder said.

“God has already abandoned them for their wrong choices. Their sins have reached heaven, and all that remains is to atonish their blood on them.”

In a way, these words are terrifying.

However, the demon king did not show any reaction to her surprise and accepted her without difficulty.

In response, the saintess decided that she would contribute to the work of the demon king from now on.

However,

Instead, she placed a condition on the demon king.

I agree with the destruction of the world, but shedding blood in the process is also inevitable.

However, even in that catastrophe, as much as the innocent blood… It was to save the lives of innocent, weak children.

The devil’s revenge is just,

It was her opinion that letting children die through the fault of wicked adults is too harsh,

So the Demon King accepted it.

Of course, under the condition that in the future, those young ones will be educated to grow up as people of the Demon Kingdom thoroughly, not as humans or other free races.

“This should be enough, thanks to you, things will go a lot easier.”

“I’m glad I was helpful. I will continue to do my best to serve the Demon King, so please keep your promise with me.”

“Of course. If you don’t betray me, I’ll keep it as well.”

“I will specify. I will never… I will not abandon the Demon King. No, I will continue to be by the Demon King’s side, so if I commit a crime, please cut my throat right away according to the contract.”

“Okay. I will do that.”

Frieza speaks with a determined will.

However, apart from the contents of this contract and all.

“… Chit.”

“No, that b*tch… “

In the eyes of the two, Frieza’s actions seemed like a thief’s ploy to stay by the demon king’s side for a while longer.

If it wasn’t for that, there wouldn’t be any way to proceed with the work by sticking to it in parts like that.

And this moment.

As he glanced at the two of them, a gentle smile formed on Frieza’s lips.

A sticky smile with a strange sense of victory…
