Grid lowered his head, and Su-ho’s eyes widened.
He was so startled that he quickly tried to make him stand upright.
But Grid would not budge.
- I ask this of you.
“Come on, seriously, why are you doing this? Fine, fine, I get it, so raise your head already.”
Only then did Grid raise his head and grin.
Seeing that expression, Su-ho said, sounding dumbfounded,
“You bowed on purpose, didn’t you?”
- What do you mean, on purpose? I bowed because I was sincerely asking you.
“Oh, please. You obviously knew I’m softhearted and did this on purpose. Anyway, you designed this in a really petty way, didn’t you? This isn’t giving me the Demon Realm. You’re just dumping your burden on me.”
- Now, now, dumping my burden? I am asking politely.
“You’re going to pretend otherwise? You’re a Constellation too. Then you could just bet on me, so why go out of your way to make things complicated?”
- There is a reason I am doing this. If you do not want to, you do not have to.
“As if I don’t want to.”
A laugh slipped out of me.
How could I possibly not want to?
I had watched him from beside him and come to know all too well how much he loved the Demon Realm.
That was why I accepted right away.
Because if the world I loved were forced by someone to repeat the same pain, there would be nothing more horrible or miserable than that.
“So, what do I do now?”
- There is not much you need to do in particular. First, we should hold the succession ceremony.
“Succession ceremony?”
- Possessing the world as King of a Fallen Nation is fine, but before that, it would be better for you to become a king in the true sense first.
[ The Demon King of Greed fully acknowledges you. ]
[ The Demon King of Greed wishes to place you on the throne of Demon King in his stead. ]
[ Will you accept the Demon King of Greed’s proposal? ]
[ You may refuse the proposal. ]
A notification similar to the one for betting.
Until now, promotions had been forced, but since this was still the position of Demon King, it gave me a choice.
A meaningless question.
What was the point of asking?
Obviously, yes.
The moment I accepted coolly, the next messages followed in a line.
[ You have accepted the proposal. ]
[ The trait information for “Avatar of the Demon King” changes. ]
[ You have become “Demon King of the Eastern Demon Realm.” ]
[ As you have become Demon King of the Eastern Demon Realm, you can now use all the powers of a Demon King. ]
[ “Demon King Castle Belkanuel” is bound to you. ]
[ “Demon King Palace” can be summoned. ]
