Home/ The Demon King Took Off His Little Horns/ Chapter 2
Demon King Ansel and Demon King Saros have had a long-standing grudge.
The Demon Realm has a vast territory, with seven abyss plates divided by cracks across the earth. Such a vast area is ruled by three demon kings. The Kaifeng and Iron Tree Abyss are ruled by the Demon King Levi of the Southern Region, with ‘Idian’ being the capital city, and their emblem is [Snake]. The ice and black stone abyss are ruled by the Demon King Saros of the Western Region, with the capital city named ‘Luster’, and the emblem being a [Black Swan]; And finally, the Ashes and Floating Flowers Abyss are ruled by Ansel, with ‘Suberbian’ being the capital city, and their emblem is [Iris].
The seventh abyss is suspended and does not belong to any demon king.
Suberbian City, ruled by Ansel, is the youngest Demon King City with a history of only 300 years, which is considered really new for the demon race who have a lifespan of thousands of years. Surprisingly, the development rate of Suberbian City is changing with each passing day, and the cause of prosperous lives of demons can be attributed to the various new policies made by the demon king Ansel.
He is like a fearless rebel, ignoring the unspoken rules among all demons, leading his subjects forward with great strides. As a result, it naturally aroused the hostility of the old forces in the demon world.
The phoenix Finny was startled by the sound of the pen breaking, and came back to his senses, quickly brought a warm towel to wipe the ink on Ansel’s hands, and brushed off the fragments aside with his wings. He raised his small crest head, and looked at Ansel who was sneering while wiping his hands.
“Is the ‘Family of the Demon King’ really all that amazing? It is only because of his ancestors that he can keep his title of the Demon King from generation to generation.” Ansel sneered, “It’s just a fantasy, but I will turn it into a reality! He is still not thinking about the time when he lost to me in that one-on-one competition last time, Is he?”
“It’s very likely!” Finny’s face was also filled with righteousness, “Even the defeated ones dares to criticize you in the newspaper!”
There is also that silver-winged dragon raised by the Demon King Saros, which is also very annoying. Finny has fought with that guy many times.
Ansel calmed himself down and didn’t get angry. He thought, it’s just like a game, let Saros watch him implement the new trade policy and infuriate him to death!
Thinking of this, Ansel suddenly shook a little.
Speaking of this joint expedition, they may have to meet…
In the next second, a fierce light flickered through his sunset-colored pupils.
When they meet, they will definitely fight, and he will remember to sharpen his weapons in advance!
With this goal in his mind, Ansel dealt with the government affairs in the morning while having a murderous aura. It is imperative for him to implement the new trade policy. Indeed, there have been many demon lords trying to fight against Ansel’s policies in order to protect their own interests, which is nothing more than secretly causing troubles. The Demon king who really holds power wouldn’t be afraid to confront him directly.
At eleven o’clock, Vassago appeared at the door of the Demon King’s office on time, asking Ansel to make a judgment. Ansel gathered the documents and stood up, and Finny immediately flew onto his shoulder, looking very happy.
“I heard that you are going to judge a case related to emotional matters?” He asked in a gossiping manner, Ansel glanced at him, and Finny immediately closed his sharp mouth, but his eyes were still rolling around.
“It’s just a dispute between young people about ‘touching horns’.” Ansel said lightly, “It won’t take long.”
…….
In terms of ‘keeping it short’, Ansel was brutally slapped in the face. He sat on the demon king’s throne, with his sunset-colored eyes drooping, showing no emotion, only the frequent glances at the clock showed how much he wanted to finish quickly and go to eat.
“…That’s how it happened, he touched my horn.” The young male demon blushed, and his voice trembled. Ansel looked at the horns on top of his head, not too big, a soft dark tan, like a lamb. But even if the horns weren’t too big, they were still a bit bigger than Ansel’s horns.
As a demon king, Ansel certainly wanted majestic horns on his head, but… his horns were actually a headband.
The bigger the headband, the easier it is to get crooked.
If it gets crooked in front of people, it will surely be a disaster!
So to this day, Ansel still has a pair of horns that are a bit small for the great demon king, and beat up every demon who dared to laugh at his small horns.
Ansel nodded slightly, indicating that he had understood the cause and effect, and then he looked at the demon kneeling on the other side. This demon was taller, with half an inconspicuous twist on his horns, which looked very mighty.
“Do you have any objections to the whole incident?”
The demon king with black horns and white hair asked softly.
The tall demon was silent for a moment.
“I have no objection, it is my fault.”
Ansel turned his head and looked at the little lamb-horned demon.
“Since both parties have no objection to the entire incident, you can propose the desired punishment. Regarding horns, although there are no relevant laws and regulations, according to the sentencing in Suberbian City, whether it is exile or imprisonment, as long as both parties have no objections, it can be carried out at its discretion.”
After hearing Ansel’s words, the little lamb-horned demon actually panicked.
“Exile, exile…it doesn’t have to be a…severe…punishment…”
Ansel had a question mark on his head.
Since you don’t want to punish the other party, why did you ask for an imperial judgment?
Seeing the majestic white-haired demon king on the throne squint his sunset-colored pupils, the little lamb-horned demon was about to cry from fright, and spoke intermittently.
“I didn’t mean to fool His Majesty, but touching the horns is very…very… as long as he is punished…” Under pressure, he instead spoke, “I know! I know their family comes from His Majesty’s legion and they look down on ordinary demons like me who do business, so they use this method to fool me…”
Unexpectedly, the tall demon who had his head lowered interjected for the first time.
“I didn’t look down on you! I wasn’t trying to fool you either!”
“Weren’t you??”
If it weren’t for the majesty of the Demon King, the two of them would have quarreled in court. Ansel seemed to have realized something, and Vassago coughed lightly behind him, allowing Ansel to affirm his judgment.
I am afraid that today he is not here to judge, but to…
Vassago approached him and whispered in his ear.
“Both of their parents have arrived.”
Ansel: “…”
Sure enough! He, the demon king, is not here to judge, but to witness a marriage!
“My lord, you are really perceptive. At a glance, the act of scaring that little guy just now is really a textbook-level operation. In this way, the parents of both parties will be grateful to you. After all, the child’s happiness is more important than anything else.” Vassago moved his mouth and said in a low voice, the people around Ansel never hesitated to warmly praise their wise Majesty.
Ansel watched the two young demons quarreling below with a blank look.
These young demons of today……
The white-haired demon king held his chin lazily, and from the corner of his eye, he had already seen the parents of the two young demons coming in from the side door, paying respects to him. Ansel nodded slightly in response, and the quarrel below finally came to an end.
“You are always like this! Just because I like you, you deliberately provoke me…..” The little lamb-horned demon cried.
The tall demon finally couldn’t hold back.
“I didn’t deliberately provoke you! It’s…” He said with difficulty, and finally squeezed out a few words from his teeth, “It’s… I can’t control myself.”
It’s done.
Ansel cheered up and took the lead in applauding. The parents of both sides rushed forward, and the scene turned into an ocean of joy.
The little lamb-horned demon was still teary-eyed, but the tall demon’s words made his cheeks hot. Seeing his family members coming up to meet him, he blamed him for having to come before His Majesty without revealing his feelings to him. He subconsciously raised his head to look in the direction of His Majesty the Demon King, and saw him slowly walking down the steps of the throne while applauding, smiling faintly at him.
“Now, I’m afraid I don’t need to judge the trial anymore, but perhaps I can be a witness to a wedding?”
This is simply a great honor for ordinary demons. The little demon was still dizzy, and his mother took the lead to thank His Majesty for his grace, then he turned his head and looked at the tall demon who was also surrounded by his family and looked embarrassed.
He blushed again.
Ansel’s lunch was delayed for more than an hour, but he received extra military support from the tall demon’s family and was in a good mood. At the dinner table, Ansel recalled the scene of the happy couple just now, and casually brought up the topic of horns.
In fact, he still doesn’t quite understand the significance of the horns to the demons. After this incident, he thinks that the horns are like… um, private part of the demon’s body? But Ansel still doesn’t know for sure.
Demons are a lustful race, and they like to enjoy themselves a lot, in comparison this kind of horn-related sentiment feels really strange.
“Speaking of which, I seem to have touched someone’s horns.”
Ansel said casually as he was stirring the creamy hell mushroom soup. As soon as he finished speaking, he found that the surroundings fell into a dead silence. Vassago’s fish eyes seemed to protrude, Finny plunged into the tomato sauce, and the capable head maid who always had a professional smile on her face seemed to be cracked.
Vassago’s fish mouth began to open and close continuously, making the sound of spitting bubbles.
“Blub blub…….blub……whose……blub… horns did you touch…blub…?”
Ansel didn’t realize the seriousness of the matter, so he tried to recall it for a moment.
“It seems to be… Saros?”
When the golden-red feathered Finny heard this answer, he suddenly lost all color and turned gray. His eyes were completely dull looking at Ansel, and he forced a smile after a while.
“You are… joking, right?”
Ansel: “…”
He shouldn’t have started this topic, anyway, he didn’t remember that incident very clearly, so Ansel decided to hurry up and lied about it.
They saw His Majesty the Demon King nodding his head indifferently.
“yes.”
“Hahahaha, let me just say, Your Majesty is really funny!” Finny came back to life from the dull state, including everyone at the table. Ansel’s face was sullen, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Are horns….really that important to demons?
This seems to be common knowledge in the demon world, and it is a very sensitive topic. Ansel has not read the relevant content in any book, only the very vague ‘horns are very important’ and they are ‘equivalent to an angel’s halo’, however…
As an angel, Ansel didn’t think the halo was very important, he even felt that the halo was annoying and affected his potential work.
Ansel: “…”
Just forget about it!
Counting the days, it’s time to break the aperture again tonight.
The author has something to say:
Too irresponsible to touch it, it can be said to be a total scumbag (nodding)
Ansel:? ? ?
So horns are more important than [beep——]?
