The Demon Prince goes to the Academy - Chapter 339
Chapter 339
Life for too long inevitably entails boredom, so the Lord Vampires, tired of living, turned their backs on themselves.
Therefore, Lucinil’s advice was that the five heads of families who were still holding on to this damnable life must have at least one reason to live.
So life is still precious to them.
“Of course, saying you’re going to kill us is just a nerve-wracking thing to do, but if that’s really possible, Lluen and Galarche might cooperate. Your whole life is only a short time from our point of view anyway, and if you think that helping you during that time avoids the hassle and pays off a debt to the Dark Lands, that’s not such a bad deal either.”
The Pandemonium and the Council had a relationship like cows and chickens, but in return for helping to rebuild the Pandemonium, they owed a debt to Dark Land.
Even the demon king has Tiamata, so if they want to annoy them, they can annoy them as much as they want. Even three family heads have already promised me cooperation.
In other words, Lluen and Galarche have become a minority. Lucynil looks at me and narrows her brows.
“So, as long as I agree to cooperate with you, the situation will take care of itself for you, so don’t talk nonsense like before. Got it?”
“Don’t worry, I’m not the kind of guy who does that for nothing.”
“No, you’re just that guy. It is contemplative.”
… … How did know?
Could it be that traces of what he said and did until now remain on Valie’s face? And is it okay for a homunculus-born vampire to talk about contemplation?
Anyway, thanks to Elleris, it seems that Lucinil would be on my side from the beginning, and Antirianus also decided to be on my side.
And what?
As for the other Lord Vampires, I honestly don’t know yet… … .
“How did Elerith make a guy like this his lord… … . Ugh.”
why is he so nice
It’s annoying, but in the end, seeing that he explains everything and gives advice, it’s more like harmless than harmless?
Whether or not I was rather taken aback by my excessive kindness, Lucinyl lay down on the sofa and folded her arms, as if not to care anymore.
He told the other Lord Vampires that they had a reason to live.
That’s the same as admitting that Lucinel had at least one reason to live.
“I don’t know if I can ask you this.”
“If you’re wondering whether to do it or not, it’s polite not to do it, Archdemon.”
“What is Lucinil’s reason to live?”
“Are you doing it too? I really don’t have any burlesque hair.”
Lucinil frowns and looks at me.
“Why would you do something if I told you?”
“Wouldn’t it be possible to take care of your worries together?”
“Words are liquid water. I mean.”
Lucinil looked up at the ceiling of the old castle with his arms crossed. Lucinil muttered quietly as if it wasn’t really a secret.
“I want a soul.”
That vague statement made me gasp.
In that one word, I felt the unfathomable sadness of living a long life as a homunculus and having to live as a vampire.
I want to have a soul.
What does that mean?
I don’t want to be a human being or anything else, I want a soul.
I don’t know if only intelligent races have souls or which beings have them.
just a sure thing.
A homunculus, a created being, would not have a soul.
Lucinil wants what is lacking in himself. He turned his head towards me and smiled.
“Are you pathetic? How could a being of this size barely dream of something like that?”
“… … No, not really?”
I think it’s going to be a desperate problem in its own way. Of course, I can’t completely agree with you.
I want to have a soul.
Lucinel didn’t explain why he wanted it.
“It’s just like that. It’s not like you can’t die because of it.”
The way he said it was pathetic. I only wish for that. He says so as if he has no such great aspirations or desires.
but.
Lucinil must have lived an immeasurably long time with only that one wish.
* * *
Elleris was talking to Antirianus while Valie was talking to Lucinil in the villa.
“Antyrianus.”
“Yes Elerith.”
“What do you mean?”
At that, the old gentleman only smiled as if he was embarrassed.
“The Demon King said he needed help and said he would help, but when he asked about his intention, he had nothing to say. haha.”
“At the meeting during the Pandemonium War, you said you didn’t even think about it and had no intention of cooperating. But don’t you have doubts that you will cooperate this time?”
The reaction of Lluen and Galarche was natural.
That’s why it’s strange that Antirianus decided to help without much trouble.
“Yeah… … .”
The old gentleman was still smiling softly and benevolently.
“The Pandemonium War wasn’t fun, and this one looks fun.”
“… … Are you having fun?”
“Yes fun.”
Antirianus, who had been laughing all along, carefully opened his eyes.
The vampire’s red eyes stare at Elerith.
“Isn’t this kind of entertainment necessary from time to time to endure an excruciatingly long time?”
“game… … What?”
No matter how much they agreed to cooperate, Antirianus was approaching this with the concept of killing time. And that was Elerith’s wrath.
“Say… … . You will have to cover… … . Antirianus.”
“Ah, excuse me, Elleris. I didn’t mean to belittle or disrespect, but… … . But what is there to be so angry about? Whether I sincerely cooperate or treat it as entertainment and cooperate.”
-Taktak
The old gentleman smiles as he taps the floor of the castle with the tip of his staff.
“Isn’t it true that you want to help?”
The old gentleman left those words and passed Elerith. Eleris was staring at the back of Antirianus.
If you get the help of the Council, it’s like getting a thousand troops and horses in Bali.
Is it really right to hold the hand of that insidious vampire?
Elleris was never quite sure of that.
* * *
While the Council is in progress, there is time to come to a proper conclusion. That’s why I had to stay at least a few days in this old castle Epiax.
“Hey Archdemon.”
“… … why?”
It seemed that he had attracted attention, and when he woke up, he suddenly appeared in front of me as I was walking down the hallway and started following him around.
“Honestly, don’t you appreciate that I’m helping you?”
“… … Thank you. Why?”
Lucinil stares at me.
“I was a little curious about the taste of Archdemon blood. Can I suck a little bit?”
“What are you saying!”
I was on the verge of having a seizure at the sudden outburst of words.
Can I say something like ‘I’ll have a glass of water’?
“No way, will I turn you into a vampire? I’ll just taste it. a little. Oh, I’m really curious. really. Can’t you do that too?”
“no! What are you talking about!”
“Oh little! just a little bit! uh? I’m curious. Who is eating them?”
scary.
No, before that, if he really tries to turn me into a vampire, does that really work?
Are you too scared?
Only then did I realize that I was facing the highest rank among vampires.
What am I doing here?
He looks nice, but he’s really nice, right? You suddenly bite my neck and from now on you are my slave, aren’t you?
By the way… … .
He still looks like a child.
If he bites me, he sucks a little blood and whatnot, if you think about it, it seems like that kind of painting.
Suddenly I imagined myself getting bitten by Galarsh by the scruff of the neck.
that.
It’s not that it’s fast, it’s that it’s eaten… … ?
me.
Could it be a mistake to come here?
“iced coffee! Do you want to become a real Archdemon and do this in a small way?”
“Stop talking nonsense!”
I ran through the corridors of the old castle, and Lucinil annoyedly caught up with me by freely moving short distances.
“Yah! just give it! Give!”
It was clinging to my waist while making strange noises.
at last.
I went to Ellerith with Lucinil hanging from my waist.
“Lucinyl… … .”
Ellerith looked down at the little vampire, cold at the thought that Lucinil wanted my blood.
“What if I’m really curious!”
Rusinil sighed, asking if there was any reason to drink Archdemon’s blood.
“Lowering… … . Instead of directly vampirizing, putting the blood in a container and letting them drink it… … . I can give you a taste, but… … . The wounds on the lower body… … . I don’t think that’s a very good idea.”
ah.
There was such a way. Lucinel heard the method and oh! looked at me with a smile.
“Oh that will work! hey! Just great.”
“No, what kind of blood did you entrust?”
The family of demand is the truth in a way different from what I’ve been through so far?
In the end, after struggling for a long time, I was the one who gave up.
If it stays like this, I think I’ll stick my teeth in my neck when I sleep.
To be honest, I gave up because I was scared.
“I don’t know why I have to do this, but I’m doing it because I’m helping you.”
“Yep.”
In the end, I cut my raw flesh and bled into the treat Lucinil had brought. Elerith was also watching as if something was going to happen.
The strange thing was that I was myself who thought nothing of this kind of pain.
“That low. the wound… … eww! Oh you are so deep!”
I’m fine, but on the contrary, Elerith was fidgeting.
I gave him a few drops of my blood and Lucinyl licked the plate and looked at me.
The expression is a bit sour.
“It’s raining.”
The impression was only one word.
I didn’t know why I was angry when I heard that my blood was tasteless.
I was just pissed off
* * *
The wound on his arm was stopped by Eleris. It was because Tiamata’s divine power could not be used normally.
Lucinil muttered that the taste of Archdemon’s blood was corrupt and went somewhere as if his business was over.
I was going to be here for a few days, so I had to eat.
And I wasn’t the only one who needed a meal here.
There is also Lydia Schmidt.
I had a meal with Lydia Schmidt with the preserved food brought in by Ellerith. Ladia froze as soon as she saw me, but when I said that I was here to eat, she ate without saying anything.
“Have you come up with something like that?”
Perhaps it was because she chose a suitable place for her to stay, but her room was quite spacious.
There was a crackling sound in the fireplace and a bonfire was burning in the room, and there was a bed, a sofa, a desk, and other items that weren’t supposed to be there.
It was supposed to be lonely in a secluded place, but Elleris seemed to be trying to prepare the necessary items as much as possible.
It’s because the environment is extreme.
Given the size of the room itself and the standard of living, it’s hard to believe it’s royalty.
In fact, this is also a palace.
“Once the Council is over, you will be able to roam freely. Even if you feel uncomfortable for the time being, be patient.”
“… … yes.”
Ladia quietly munched on a piece of bread while watching Elleris notice.
