12 The Life of a secretary of the Demon King

A/N: A sneak peek of future events.

Leraje's point of view:

I hurriedly arranged the papers and the documents needed for the meeting of the round table. Today is the meeting of the demons with the demon king and their plan on participating the continental war.

With the papers on my hand I ran to the meeting room.There waits the other commanders of the demon armies. And at the center is the demon king Bathory. Beside him is the black masked lady with red eyes. Her black mask covers her forehead to her nose. She wears a black trench coat with hood.

"Let's start the meeting."

The demon king opens the meeting and the commanders started to report their situations and conditions. I became a little restless and nervous. We all know that this war is not only the big issue here.

"Alright. Let's move on the next issue."

The demon king glanced at the black masked lady. She nodded and the demon king continued.

"We're commencing an alliance with humans."

Murmurs and gasps are heard. This is only the normal reaction. Since ancient times it is known that humans and demons are hostile with each other. But joining hands? That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.

Yet we all know that if its the demon king saying this matter,it means he means it.

Of course many opposed. Saying that's a nonsense and a bullshit. Well, if I were with guts that what I'll say too. Yet I can't.

Its because of her.

The black masked lady stood up. Her draped trench coat on her shoulders seems like a cape fluttering as she stood where she sat. Her red eyes swept through everyone in the meeting room. Then she went to the commander close to where she was sitting.

Then she grabbed his neck. The commander was writhing in pain and can't even moan or groan. The others kept their mouth shut. They should be. Being to choke a bigger person than herself is only a pinch of her real strength. Her true powers are more disastrous and terrifying.

After some seconds she then let go of the man. That was enough of a warning for other commanders. The demon king then said that he will negotiate himself with the humans and to put their trust on him. Everyone is silent and only nodded. They know that even though they oppose this decision they can't, they even don't have the right to oppose. Then after that the meeting was adjourned.

"Leraje."

I immediately went to the demon king as he called my name.

"How is it going?"

"Everything is ready your highness."

The demon king smiled. We entered his highness's office.

"Then is your side ready?"

He asked the black masked lady. She nodded. Inside the office there was another person. A girl with long black hair and emerald green eyes. She was looking angrily at the demon king.

"Know your place. Speak respectfully to unnie you demon."

The girl looks ready to draw her great sword towards the demon king. Yet he only smiled as if her reaction and reason was cute. Yet for me,that beautiful girl was terrifying. I heard that she was a close relative of the black masked lady.

"Lou.Stop."

The black masked lady spoke and the girl stay silent.

"We're going."

The black masked lady said and jumped over the window. So as the black haired girl. She glared at his highness first before jumping at the window next to the black masked lady. It was that moment that the hood of the black masked lady slide down. Her hair color was now visible.

It was gold.
