Chapter 16 – The Most Powerful Demon King in History. Enters the Town
I finally arrived at the town after walking for about three hours from where I met up with Lumiel.
As we entered the town, the townspeople gathered around after noticing Lumiel.
Almost all of them were humans.
“Ah. Princess! Thank goodness you’re safe.”
“Everyone, the princess has returned!”
Lumiel greeted the townspeople with a smile. She was so friendly that it was hard to believe that she was royalty.
The townspeople glanced at me.
They were probably curious about me, the one Lumiel had brought home.
“It’s alright. This man is Mr. Hyrum, and he helped me when I was in trouble.”
When Lumiel said that, the eyes of the townspeople on me immediately softened.
“Did he now? Thank you, Mr. Hyrum, for helping the princess.”
“Yes, it would have been terrible if anything had happened to the Princess. She is the future King.”
“Even though we’re human, she’s good to us.”
The townspeople all thanked me and praised me.
The humans seem to think that Lumiel will be King.
No, it’s probably their wish that she be King.
“Don’t worry about it. I haven’t done much.”
“How modest…” “Oh, a humble one, he’s wonderful.”
“The lizard on his shoulder is cute, too…”
The townspeople seemed to like me.
Lumiel bows to the townspeople.
“Thank you again for your concern.”
“Princess. The orcs can wait until later. People rarely pass through that road anyway.”
“Yes. The Adventurer’s Guild should take care of them soon.”
“Princess, you do everything by yourself…”
Lumiel was adored by the townspeople.
And they seem to be worried about Lumiel, who goes out alone every time something happens.
Lumiel was released thirty minutes after arriving in the town.
The fact that she is popular with the people may be a factor in her being ostracized.
『Even after all the commotion, no one from the Third Knights Order has come to greet her.』
『Do her subordinates despise her after all? Apparently, they call her an incompetent princess.』
After that, I walked for a while with Lumiel’s guidance, and came to a large mansion.
“Lumiel, is that mansion yours?”
“Yes, Master. It’s the mansion I was given when I was appointed Knight Commander.”
Five maids greeted us as we entered the mansion.
The maids were three humans and two beastmen.
“Master, from now on, think of this place as yours. Please make yourself at home.”
Lumiere smiled brightly.
Then she gently stroked Jorm.
“You relax too, Jorm.”
“…… Kyuru”
Lumiel loves Jorrum, but Jorm is a little frightened.
It can’t be helped because she is a Hero, Jorm’s natural enemy.
And Lumiel, instead of leaving it to a maid, led us through the mansion.
“This is the restroom… and the bath is over there.”
『A bath! Shall we enter together, Your Majesty?』
『Later.』
Apparently, Jorm likes to take baths.
Lumiel politely showed me and Jorm around the mansion.
“It’s a nice house.”
『Yes, it looks livable, Your Majesty!』
“Thank you. Mr. Hyrum and Jorm, please treat it as your own home.”
Lumiel’s mansion was large and magnificent. It had two floors and dozens of rooms.
It was a mansion befitting a Knight Commander and Princess like Lumiel.
After Lumiel had finished showing me around, I entered the room assigned to me with Jorm.
Entering the room, Jorm jumped towards the bed.
“Your Majesty, what are you going to do now?”
Jorm lay on his back on the bed and wagged his tail rhythmically.
“Well, I suppose I’ll settle down in town for a while and do some research.”
“…… You mean to find out who is trying to kill the Hero sapling?”
“There is that too. But that’s not all. Do you remember my purpose, Jorm?”
“To slay a God, right?”
“Yes. I want to know where that God is. Besides…”
“Your daughter, Her Highness Princess Philfi.”
“That’s right. But we won’t know unless she’s still working under the same name.”
“I see.”
God’s very existence is intense. No matter how much they try to hide, it will be difficult to hide.
However, Philfi is just a demon. If she changed her name, it would be hard to find information about her.
“Perhaps I should sell my name and wait for the other side to find out?”
“Will the enemy not notice Your Majesty’s presence?”
“If the Demon God notices and does something, that would be convenient. At the moment, we have no clues.”
“I see.”
After an hour of discussing this with Jorm, there was a knock at the door.
“Master, Jorm. Dinner is ready, would you mind joining me?”
“Thank you.”
“Kyururu 『Jorm is hungry too! 』”
Both Jorm and I were hungry, so we gladly headed to the dining room.
The prepared food looked very appetizing.
It doesn’t feel like a royal palace serving, it has the atmosphere of city cuisine.
“Master. Do you like it?”
“Oh, it’s very delicious. Especially this boiled sweet potato.”
“Ah.”
Lumiel blushed for some reason.
The human maid who was serving us commented…
“The princess made that for you, sir.”
“Wow, Lumiel is a good cook.”
“I, I just made it as I was taught…”
“Kyururu”
Jorm is also in a good mood. He seemed to like Lumiel’s homemade food.
“The culinary culture of the Kingdom of Ortville is very advanced.”
“Cooking Culture here may be more amazing than that of dragons.”
The food was much tastier than what I had eaten in my previous life.
