The wyvern circling in the sky landed on the ground.
Together with the vast army of demons on the ground, they lay prostrate, bowing subserviently.
Greeting—their King!
So many powerful demons and Demons!
Vivienne was extremely nervous seeing this scene.
She felt like she didn't know whether to kneel or stand while standing beside Yulian.
Her thin body trembled slightly.
Her beautiful golden hair rippled with the trembling of her body.
A pair of lovely golden eyes looked at Yulian pitifully.
It seemed she hoped Yulian would give her an idea.
But how could Yulian pay attention to her?
Or rather, what if he did?
It seemed Aura was still on his side, which was fine.
After casually glancing around.
Yulian slowly walked up to a Demon wearing a blue noble gown, with light golden hair and a pair of decent horns.
"Lügner, where is Aura?"
Lügner respectfully raised his head and looked at the Demon King in front of him, who had changed greatly since their last meeting.
His eyes showed fanatical respect and admiration.
He felt magic, vast magic, from the Demon King before him!
Magic so vast it could kill him with just a flick of a finger!
"Demon King, Lady Aura and Lady Solitär are resting inside the palace."
"However, they will surely come out to greet you soon after hearing of the Demon King's arrival."
Lügner said respectfully.
As soon as he finished speaking.
Yulian felt the palace gates open with a bang.
Aura and Solitär, wearing white bathrobes, appeared at the entrance of the palace gates.
Following behind them was Linie, wearing small leather shoes and obediently trailing the two.
The little girl was staring at Yulian blankly at this moment.
Her eyes held a hint of joy.
"Demon King."
Aura was the first to bow.
Solitär and Linie also slightly bent at the waist and bowed.
Unlike the etiquette of other Demons and demons.
Aura, as one of the Seven Sages, and Solitär, a Great Demon, did not need to kneel when they saw Yulian.
As for Linie.
As a privilege for being a Demon favored by Yulian.
She did the same.
Simply holding the hem of her skirt and bending slightly at the waist.
Performing an elegant noble bow was sufficient.
"Rise..." Yulian nodded gently.
His gaze casually swept around the palace before moving back to the three of them.
"Let's go inside and talk."
...
Inside the palace.
The main hall.
Yulian was sitting on the luxurious chair on the high platform.
Stroking his chin.
His gaze quietly watched Aura, Solitär, and Linie standing respectfully below the platform.
"Aura, you should know about Schlacht's matter."
Yulian spoke.
He asked Aura about Schlacht's rebellion.
"Demon King..." Aura stepped out from between the two.
She spoke after bowing, holding the hem of her crimson red skirt.
"Schlacht sent me a letter..."
As Aura spoke, she took out the already opened envelope from her spatial ring.
She slowly walked to Yulian's side and handed him the letter.
[Aura, long time no see.]
[You must be very curious as to why I suddenly 'came back to life' and wrote you this letter.]
[But please listen to me first.]
[My coming back to life is not the most important thing.]
[What is important is my new prophecy.]
[A prophecy concerning the life and death of the Demons.]
[However, please forgive me for not being able to tell you the specific content of the prophecy at this time.]
[The only thing I can reveal to you now is that the danger comes from the United Empire.]
[After all, you are the loyal Seven Sages of the Demon King, if I told you all the contents.]
[Wouldn't that mean telling the Demon King?]
[That won't do.]
[This is my bargaining chip.]
[The bargaining chip to make the Demon King return to the Demons.]
[The matter of rebellion the Demon King mentioned does not exist, but what I want to say is.]
[For the Demon King to return to the Demons, he must defeat the 'stages' I have set up one by one.]
[The vanguard general of the Demon King's Army who is preparing to attack the Northern Lands' fortress gate, Revolte the Divine Skill.]
[Macht of the Golden City, sealed in Weise.]
[The great general of the Demon King's Army confronting the United Empire in Qinuo Mountain Gorge, Rivale the Bloody God of War.]
[Qual the Corrupt Sage, who has already moved from the sea to outside the Demon King's Castle.]
[Only by defeating them can the Demon King return to the Demon King's Castle.]
[Only in this way will I tell the Demon King my prophecy.]
[Presumably, Demon King, you have finished reading by now.]
[Then, please take action.]
[Before the Demons and the Northern Lands engage in a full-scale war, stop me.]
[—Your Prime Minister, Schlacht.]
Yulian read the letter completely.
He did not skip any content.
But after reading the letter, Yulian was still confused.
Schlacht's actions were strange.
Since he wanted himself to return to the Demon King's Castle, why didn't he just return?
Why set up stages?
The excuse Schlacht gave was the prophecy.
But setting up stages to hinder his return.
What did that have to do with the prophecy?
Couldn't he just return directly?
Or is it that the stages are related to the prophecy?
Moreover, whether it was Revolte the Divine Skill, or Macht, or Rivale, or even Qual.
They were all his loyal subordinates.
Yulian nodded definitively.
After all, Macht was very obedient before he ran away.
So what was the meaning of making them stages?
The danger comes from the United Empire.
Yulian had discussed this with Serie before.
After all, there was indeed a conspiracy behind the United Empire.
They wanted to unify the human countries and then have a decisive battle with the Demons.
But wasn't that still far off?
Furthermore, the territory of the United Empire and the territories of the human countries were separated by the Northern Plateau.
The current situation on the continent was a three-way standoff.
None of the parties would watch idly as one of them became dominant.
What was Schlacht thinking?
"Boom!"
Yulian clenched his fist and slammed it hard on the armrest of the chair.
It made a loud sound.
"Demon King, should we do as Schlacht says?"
"Or just kill our way back?"
Aura said, making a gesture of cutting her throat.
Although Schlacht was the Demons's prime minister.
Aura was also very dissatisfied with Schlacht now!
How dare he use a mere prophecy to instruct his Demon King on what to do!
[Flenna, what do you think?]
Yulian hesitated, he was silent.
He asked Flenna in his heart.
The Mark of Snow shimmered slightly.
Emitting a snowy white light.
The next second!
Flenna, with hair as white as snow and a graceful figure, wearing a snowy white long dress, appeared beside Yulian.
She gently smiled at the three people who bowed to her.
Considered as a greeting.
Then she seriously stated her opinion.
"I think since Schlacht can be considered a rebellion..." "Then we naturally shouldn't follow his ideas."
"However, for future contingencies."
"We can indeed go and meet the generals he sent out."
"Perhaps these generals know something?"
After all, they were all people loyal to Yulian.
Being assigned by Schlacht could only mean that Schlacht must have told them something.
And that thing is very likely the specific content of the prophecy!
