EX-Brave Wants a Quiet Life - Chapter 99

The door opened.

“My king, the Demon Lord has arrived.”

“Yes, let him in.”

At King Sarius’ reply, a soldier said, “Come in.”

The one who came in was a girl with long red hair and sharp, cold eyes.

“I would like to thank you for giving me this opportunity to meet you, King. My name is Alice Demon Cordeswald III, and I have succeeded my father as the Demon Lord.”

Just as she was about to take the first step.

“Gyaafu!”

“Hey! I told you that the shorter the cloak, the better! I’m sure I’ll step on it!”

“I’m sorry, Princess! But I thought it would be more dignified if it was longer…”

“I don’t care about dignity! I don’t want you to think I’m a woman!”

Alice protests to her maid with tears in her eyes.

The tense air suddenly relaxed.

When I looked at Sarah, her eyes were wide open.

Apparently, she knows.

A few minutes later, the interview began again.

“Well, the purpose of coming to the castle this time is to apologize for my father’s actions against the humans and to explain to you about the future of the demon race.”

“Oh, the future, you mean?”

“We do not like to fight with humans. On the contrary, we want to have peaceful relations with humans.”

Apparently, Alice was a pacifist.

“My father’s methods were too harsh, and there was a lot of opposition from my family. I tried to persuade him several times, but he wouldn’t listen to me. So I understand that it was only natural that he was defeated.”

I’m sure the Demon Lord was quite repulsed to hear his daughter say this much.

“I think now that I’m the Demon Lord, it’s a good opportunity for me to build a new relationship with humans. I’m not asking you to let bygones be bygones, and I don’t expect you to trust me. But I do ask that you give us a chance.”

With that, Alice bowed her head.

She hit her head on the desk.

“Ouch!”

The people around me were already struggling to hold back their laughter.

“I understand. We hope to have a peaceful relationship from now on, regardless of race.”

“That’s right!”

My expression brightened as I held my forehead.

“In fact, demons are living in the village where Noel-dono is ruling.”

What, you want to talk to me here?

“Really? Noel-dono, thank you for accepting my people!”

“No, well, I’ve had enough of fighting.”

Alice asked me to shake her hand, which I did.

She was a pretty girl, but I couldn’t get a closer look.

“It’s been a long time, Princess Alice.”

“Hmm? Sara! It’s Sara! Why are you here?”

“Sara! I’m glad to see you are well!”

The moment she saw Sarah’s face, Alice was surprised and the maid was delighted.

What’s the relationship?

“I used to be Princess Alice’s guardian knight.”

I see.
