Being a Demon Lord’s proud partner means you need to have a mean strut
With the way our conversation went, we naturally headed to the library. It was in a rather central part of the castle, so we had to go through a busy corridor for it, unlike the time Natha took me to the garden.
I already knew I would have to go through other demons today, and had prepared myself for that. But being rarely in a work-related environment, I underestimated the amount of traffic after breakfast. It was when workers moved about, sending documents and preparing for public services, so there were a lot of them.
The path from Natha's private quarters was generally empty, saved for the servants, since no one would casually walk around the Lord's living space just like that. But after climbing down the stairs, and reaching the sections where the realm's administrators—or, to put it simply, the government officials—worked, the number of demons in sight was increasing.
