217 Chapter 217

The ringing of a bell interrupts my attempt to answer and the King rises to his feet. "The Trial period is done. Any further attempts on the Crown Prince will be treated as treason."

Well, darn. I was looking forward to that game.

The King dismisses those here to hold court for the day, and escorts us, plus his group of advisors towards a door at the back of the room. It appears to be the study mentioned earlier, the walls are covered in ancient books and there are a group of comfortable looking chairs arranged in a circle. The smell is mostly of books, but I can smell something sweet too, it reminds me of a human church. I think it's holy water.

Moving towards the chairs, I'm certain it is, and it's been poured on a number of the chairs, though not the ones nearest the King's seat. These Demons really love trying to kill each other, no wonder they get along with the Goddess so well.
