“Son.”
“Do not apologize. I’m not being upset at you in order to receive an apology. What could possibly change if you apologized. Just know this.”
I vowed.
A cold vow.
A clear vow.
“I will not become weak like you, father.”
“……”
“Ever.”
And.
And……

Slap!
In truth, it was a jaunty sound.
The sound of skin and skin colliding echoed loudly.
People must have been alarmed by the sudden powerful shockwave because they had their mouths held agape. Approximately 200 demons of various races were looking this way. In this situation, ‘this way’ very simply referred to two people.
Me.
And Lapis Lazuli.
“This one is disappointed.”
“……”
“To think that your highness was only a person of this degree.”
With an absolutely emotionless face.
But with an even colder tone, she spoke.
“If it was your highness, this one had thought that your highness would be different from the other Demon Lords. This one had hoped that your highness would display something different compared to the other people intoxicated by authority. But all this one can see before her is an incredibly fattened swine.”
I carefully felt my cheek.
It hurt.
My skin was red and swollen.
Was it not impressive?
“……Lapis Lazuli. While you are my mistress and fiancée, you are at the same time also my vassal. Midday, while in the center of the plaza, in front of hundreds of citizens, you have raised your hand at your lord. You know how much of a disloyal act this is, right?”
“Yes. This one knows.”
“Good.”
I nodded.
Be it an outcast or a half-breed, for someone like that to dare hit an inviolable Demon Lord. This alone was enough to reach top news of the year. Even the people in the plaza were looking at this with an astonished gaze.
But it was not over yet. Let me make it more enjoyable.
I decreed.
“I, Dantalian, hereby relieve you of your duties.”
“……”
“Do not appear before me again.”

On that day, a shocking news spread throughout the city.
The couple that had become the most famous in the demon world for having overcome social statuses had broken apart in 2 months.
If this wasn’t a splendid occasion, then I didn’t know what it was.
