“What are you doing, Lazuli!?”
“Doing what must be done.”
“What must be done……?”
Even for myself, who usually never fell into panic, I couldn’t recover my senses as quickly in this situation.
“What does that mean? Explain it so I can understand!”
Despite having obviously heard my shout, Lapis Lazuli did not stop her sword. The sharp edge of the blade slit the throat of the fourth guard. Blood sprayed out like a fountain and covered Lala’s white skin with dirty blood.
“You…… Stop right this instant!”
“This one apologizes, but this one cannot follow that order.”
“Lapis Lazuli, I am warning you. If you move even a single hair, if you ignore my order once more, I swear on Zeus! I will personally tear off your flesh!”
Schunk
After killing off the final guard.
Lapis Lazuli silently turned to look at me.
The blood stench silence weighed down heavily around us.
Unsure of what to say, my lips shook. I couldn’t understand the other person’s behaviour at all.
……The plan had finished without a hitch. We had obtained a satisfying success. After covering up the incident here in the slave market as something another organization had done, we were going to leave casually. Subsequently to traversing across the continent and returning back to my Demon Lord castle, that was when the true preparation for battle was going to begin. And everything following after that was going to go by beautifully.
But why.
“……Why are you going against my orders? The operation is over. Everything is going smoothly just as planned. What are you discontent with? Why are you exercising this pointless slaughter?”
My voice shook because of the sense of betrayal.
The reason why I had spared these guards, who I originally planned to kill, was solely because I was being considerate of Lapis Lazuli. She disliked pointless killing. That’s why I had gone against my own preference to barely bring out mercy.
And yet, why?
Lapis Lazuli opened her mouth.
“Your highness. Please stop messing around.”
“What did you say?”
“Pointless slaughter? Please explain to this one if any of these deaths are pointless.”
Lapis Lazuli gestured around herself.
Everything was set ablaze. The only things that remained standing were the iron frames of cages. Below those were corpses and piles of flesh burning in the inferno.
“Your highness had ordered for us to slaughter the guards, the civilians, and even the slaves without discrimination. The reason is clear. In order to not leave evidence of your highness’ visit here.”
Lapis Lazuli gazed at me.
“Solely for that reason, 150 humans and 50 demons died tonight. But to come this far and now want to spare 6 people? This one is unable to understand no matter how hard this one tries. So please, your highness, explain to this foolish one.”
“……”
“Is there any pointless death here?”
A quiet question.
And at the same time, an endlessly cold comment.
“The lord Dantalian that this one had sworn loyalty to is a cold-hearted and ruthless individual. If by a rare chance he were to be threatened, his highness is thorough enough to not treat even the smallest of threats lightly. Where did that person go? Where did this one’s lord disappear to?”
“No. That’s not it. I was……”
“Has your highness lost your vision? After the outbreak of the Black Death, did becoming one of the richest Demon Lords on the continent put your highness’ mind at ease? Your highness. Mercy and generosity is a privilege for only the strong. The weak does not have the right to show mercy. Has your highness Dantalian already become powerful?”
Lapis Lazuli spoke flatly in all respect.
With emotionless eyes.
She stared straight at me.
For some reason, that gaze froze my heart.
“Lala……”
“This one shall list all of the strong people that she knows of. Rank 1st, Demon Lord Baal is powerful enough to start a massive war on his own. Rank 2nd, Demon Lord Agares is strong enough to annihilate an entire army by himself. Rank 5th Demon Lord Marbas controls the political world, rank 8th Demon Lord Barbatos has immortal warriors loyal to her, and rank 9th Demon Lord Paimon has all the support from every citizen in the demon world. This one shall ask. What does your highness Dantalian have?”
