Demon Lord: Erotic Adventure in Another World

Meanwhile, Asmodeus and the women began to prepare for the future. Alan and the kingdom of Grigor felt a sense of confusion and worry.

Normally, after such a huge event, there would have been an oracle. Lumina loved to give oracles to damn the enemies of the church and people, always gathering her followers and faith as best she could to retain their servitude.

However...

'What's going on? No punishment or blame will be held towards Grigor, or it's a hero?'

Alan thought to himself, reading an official letter from the central church of Light. Not only that, but they would also intervene with the elven kingdom and other human nations currently seeking to take aggressive action against them!

"They don't even ask for any additional donations. It's crazy. What happened at the main church?!"

"Mmm... Alan? What's the matter?" A lovely black-haired girl peeked from the covers, seemingly woken by Alan's voice, as she stroked along his scarred muscular back with her delicate fingertips and hugged him tight. "Is everything alright?"

"Ah, it's fine Akari. Rather, it's too fine that I feel confused."

"Nn~ I see. Did Ryuji and the others manage to escape safely?"

Akari didn't know the details of the plan, but to stop her and Ryo becoming worried. Alan at least told them that they weren't dead but rather banished. He used a soul contract with Ryo just to make sure nobody else would find out.

However, Alan trusted Akari as she was to be his wife in the future, and he wouldn't doubt her.

"I believe they are fine, though the only ones who can learn the truth will be meeting me after breakfast. Do you want to come with me and say goodbye?"

"Okay~ but I think you should come here first, ehehe~ let's have some fun, Hero-sama."

***

Half an hour later, the pair left their bed and took a hot bath. Akari looked radiant and shone like a jewel, while Alan looked a little exhausted.

After breakfast, they headed to the royal greeting chamber, where Avandar sat upon the throne waiting—while the fifteen knights that served Princess Anne were kneeling in silence. The girl's faces all seemed grim and lacked colour.

However, sitting ahead of them was the last remaining hero from the party of Haruki, Kenta and Yuki Ito. Her face seemed to be relaxed, and although slightly puffy and red, she seemed to be doing just fine.

"Duke Alan Grigor has arrived." The guards announced Alan's arrival, which caused a slight stir among the knights and king, who finally opened his eyes.

He watched his little brother walking with a dignified step alongside him, the former hero Akari in her maid outfit one step behind him.

"You've finally arrived, Duke Alan, my brother." The king's voice seemed hoarse and filled with worry. Yet Alan just nodded and kneeled before him, behind him Akari, then Fuuka and the fifteen knights who served Anne.

"My King, I am here to serve."

After Alan responded, the king then clapped his hands—this time, the queen was absent. Or rather, when their plan failed, she seemed to vanish along with the mainland church members and the fat noble who sought to marry Liana.

A barrier then expanded and filled the room before all knights and nobles who weren't Alan or the girls kneeling left the room and sealed the door.

"Now then, since they have left we no longer need to act so stiff. Alan, I want a report on what happened and where my beloved daughters and sister are!"

Avandar's voice instantly became full of power, spirit and energy as he glared at Alan, who stood up and approached him.

"Brother, thanks to the help of Alice and Velvet, everything went according to plan." He looked back to the knights and then to his brother, curious if he could continue.

"You can continue. All of them have signed a soul contract regarding this matter, and those fifteen knights would never forsake Anne."

"Very well, brother. I will continue."

This time, he spoke to both the king and the girls, stepping to the side and projecting his voice with more power.

"This time, Duchess Alice and former Hero Ryuji made a plan together. Although I do not know the specifics, Alice did give me a letter this morning to read. Let me tell you the contents so you can understand."

"Ahem!"

—A big, evil man has captured me, my dearest Little brother. Your big sister will become a prisoner to his amazing body and immense strength.

"What?!" Avandar yelled out before Alan shook his head, and the other women seemed confused.

"Calm down, brother..."

Hahaha, did that make you jealous or angry little brother? Did you imagine my small body being pressed underneath the Demon King until I begged for mercy?

What a perverted little brother you are. Maybe even big brother would think the same thoughts when you tell him, Gyhahahah!

Anyway...

"Oi..." Avandar grunted... while Alan could only nod in agreement to this little witch that tormented them both growing up.

Dear brothers,

I have made a plan with the demon lord Asmodeus in order to save Grigor from the coming war and give you time to build our forces and prepare for the next step our enemies might take.

He will become a sacrifice and die.

He means the hero Ryuji, and the barrier crystals the church uses show a different image of what will actually happen.

Thus, I tweaked it a little, and the last ten minutes will show the people Ryuji's death, and then also Princess Anne and myself will vanish.

The reason for his death, Alan knows most. Ryuji is too powerful and well known, although he might announce himself with a different name—because of my deception magic, the only ones who will know that name are likely in the room when you read this letter.

After we have vanished, mourn for a short while but send Anne's knights to the west within four months, to the neutral kingdom of Baltimore. That is where Anne will await them—after that, you must make sure that their existence is forgotten.

To the kingdom, Princess Anne, Myself and Liana will have died due to the former heroes' rampage.

Right now, the kingdom needs something to bring them together, something that isn't Lumina. Thankfully, Ryuji's such a kind and loving man that he accepted to become that target.

So, we will tell the people that Ryuji did not die and instead became a demon king, heading to the east to join the demon queen.

Meanwhile, I'll leave the specifics up to Alan and Big Brother, while I will take those fifteen knights and the girls who are in love with Ryuji and head west. First we will aim for the Beast kingdoms and build a mercenary group to support Grigor in the future and try and use Yumiko the Beastkin at his side to learn more information.

Then we will head to the elven forest—his other confidante is an elven princess, after all. Thus our journey will be long, hard and filled with... well, just don't get angry if you become uncles or Avandar a grandfather when we return.

I send my regards and love.

Alice Grigor

—

"..." Alan's face, even after reading it several times, became pale because he realised what her words meant and couldn't help but tremble.

"G-Grandfather... that demon king... if he touches my Liana or Anne...."

"A-Alan, calm down. The bastard will die sooner or later, and they have Velvet with them! She will stop them. We do not need to get angry, so let's not overreact!" The king recovered remembering who he sent to protect them.

"Huh?" Alan looked at his brother, confused by his reaction, and the other women—who didn't seem to have any issue.

'Brother, you don't know what Aunt Velvet said about him... I have a bad feeling even she will end up his!' Alan's heart could only keep this secret because he didn't want his brother to go on a crusade against Ryuji.'

The king thought for a moment and asked Alan, "Then, for the treacherous hero, will it be those who took that strange medicine and caused havoc, almost killing my lovely daughter Liana?"

Fuuka and Akari's faces became complicated when they heard this because they were friends with Haruki and his group; Akari knew Yuki and was in the same club in middle school, so hearing this kind of thing made her a little uncomfortable.

However, to everyone's surprise...

"No, brother, Ryuji asked that only his name be listed as the source. He said something about how Lumina seemed to be able to affect their feelings, amplify them and twist them if they became too extreme. Ryuji said it was likely Haruki's love for Erika and Kenta's feeling to be number one was twisted and used by the goddess."

"He also added... though he didn't know them for long, they were still his classmates and fellow people. Suppose he turned on them when they died. It wouldn't sit right with the other heroes still fighting, and he didn't particularly feel those three were that bad."

"Ryuji said, and I quote, 'Those bastards are not my problem anymore. If others cannot learn from the faults of Haruki and his party, then I will beat them down, too. Until they all understand reality."

Alan's words made the room fall silent, and the King just smiled—he leaned back on his throne and looked towards Fuuka and the knights behind her.

"There you have it, Hero of the sword, The knights who serve Anne. Are you willing to remain in the capital, or do you wish to travel to the West and fight beside such amusing people?"

"We will always follow Princess Anne." They answered in unison, and Fuuka nodded her head.

"I am a hero chosen by the gods, but even then, I was manipulated and forced to follow her will. Not that her blessing is gone and I am free, I wish to once again meet with the demon king Asmodeus and become strong enough to decide my future!"

"Very well, as the king who summoned you and the father of your commander. I order you to head west and split all connections with Grigor until their group returns here in the future!"

"Yes, Your Highness!" echoed through the chamber while Alan and Avandar worried about the future of when their beloved little girls came home.

After this moment, the King would announce the truth as was organised by Ryuji and Alice—the world would turn against the new Demon King Ryuji, who was thought to have died but fled to the east and aimed to join with the demons in the north.

This moment would change the lives of Alan, Avandar and Asmodeus forever in ways that were both positive and dangerous.

However, the three men trusted and believed in the day they would be reunited once again.
