“……”
I returned my gaze forward.
As soon as I did so, the laughter in Andromalius’ voice stopped.
“Aaang? The hell are you looking at?”
Andromalius slapped me once more. It felt like he had put all of his weight into his hand that time. Unfortunately, at this point, it was proven that Andromalius did not spend his time exercising. His hit wasn’t heavy at all.
I looked forward again.
“……Both master and servant are annoying!”
Andromalius bellowed out.
He swung his arm over and over again. And each time my head was moved by the force. But it was useless. Since it’d return back to its original position.
“Gr, grrrr……!”
Seeing that, Andromalius’ face slowly started to collapse into rage. To not be able to contain his childish rage, how low. It was at the point where I couldn’t bear to watch him.
I wonder if his highness Dantalian had thought the same thing, he had been chuckling besides me.
“What a sight this is, Andromalius. To be an honorable Demon Lord and yet be unable to make a single outcast submit to you. This is unheard of. Are you sure it wasn’t a mistake by the Gods that you had become a Demon Lord? Originally, were you not supposed to be born as a peasant?”
Andromalius’ face became red hot.
“T-This great one…… this great one……!”
“It’s okay. You do not have to make excuses. Even Gods have times where they doze off while working.”
His highness Dantalian smiled.
“However, this shall be the last time that I warn you. Do not lay your hand on my beloved again. And sincerely apologize for beating my escorts and my lover.”
“Don’t make me laugh!”
Smack
Andromalius, with his fist, hit me with all his strength. I fell back from my chair and rolled onto the floor. The witches let out a scream.
“……”
My mouth was tingling from the impact. With my tongue, I could taste something like iron in my mouth. I took out a napkin and wiped the corners of my mouth. The napkin became crimson with blood.
I raised my body slowly.
“The death penalty for you!”
Andromalius was waving his finger at me.
There was hatred in his eyes. Was it not surprising? How someone could despise another person so much after having only just met them. They were setting their emotions at an unimaginably low price.
Unfortunately, as a merchant, I could not respect the half-wit who was trying to sell their product for dirt cheap.
“The death penalty! You’ll receive capital punishment! Something like an outcast, we can give you a summary conviction without even having a trial……! Even if you were to die by this great one’s hands, you can’t resist! Do you know that!? Apologize for acting so impudently before this great one!”
Death sentence, death sentence. He was noisy.
To only be able to spout the same word over and over again. That showed the man’s level of intelligence. A 5-year-old goblin would probably display a more diverse vocabulary. I, with the same expressionless face, stared back at Andromalius.
“This bitch, till the very end!”
Andromalius made his way towards me.
“Fine! I’ll tear your mouth right now, bitch! Go to hell and repent on—iiii, guaaaaaak!?”
However, he was not able to even take 5 steps.
All the people in the plaza let out a scream at once. Andromalius had fallen to the floor. From his neck, dark red blood poured out.
“Uh, uuah? Aaaaack!?”
Andromalius instinctively moved his hands to block the wound.
The blood volume was serious. It wasn’t some cute scratch that you could just cover with the palm of your hand and stop it. Andromalius, looking at the amount of blood on his hand, let out a cry.
It was a single blow aimed at a vital point.
In order to give certain death in one strike.
Seeing that, I thought that it really—.
Really befitted his highness Dantalian’s hunting method.
“How regrettable.”
His highness Dantalian wiped the blood off of his dagger.
“To treat my warning as a trifling matter.”
His highness Dantalian’s carefreeness was boundless. Out of the hundreds of people in the entire plaza, his highness was the only one who was relaxed. As if he was far away from the buzzing atmosphere around us.
‘Did this person really just stab Andromalius?’
