Chapter 48 – The Demon King Took Off His Little Horns

Home/ The Demon King Took Off His Little Horns/ Chapter 48

Since this was His Majesty’s intention, Naberis did not hesitate too much and talked about a few important things at the moment.

Firstly, the front line in the Seventh Abyss is currently very calm, with only a small number of monsters emerging from the crevice, which can be easily resolved, as if it is the calm before the storm.  

Due to the fact that the two majesties had been away for too long, if the Demon King’s guard of honor continued to stay on the front line, the news of their departure might get exposed, so the close aides disguised themselves and created a status quo that their majesties had already returned.

On the other hand, Demon King Levi also withdrew all of his forces, and even with such a good opportunity, he didn’t stir up any trouble.

“I didn’t hold back when I stabbed him with the sword.” Saros said calmly, “Due to the erosive nature of the Abyssal Sword, he will need to recuperate for at least a year, so we will have enough time to take care of things in the human world.”

Upon hearing this, Naberis suddenly lost his voice.

“A year ? !”

His Majesty is going to stay in the human world for a year? Then the affairs of the Western Region…

“It won’t take that long.” Saros said as he turned to look at Ansel’s expression and saw him nodding slightly.

“Indeed, it won’t take that long, after all, Saros and I are demon kings. There are already enough things in the demon world, and it’s impossible for us to take care of the human world as well.” Ansel said thoughtfully, “But the situation in the human world is also very serious. We can’t let the monsters continue to evolve, so it is best to let humans organize their own strength.”

Just like the Demon Hunter Club, although they mistook the monsters for demons, it is an indisputable fact that they killed a large number of monsters.

Ansel thought about the key characters he has discovered in the human world. With the holy sword being found, the brave warrior will not be far away. He will guard the holy sword until the brave warrior arrives, and when the time comes, the brave will draw the holy sword… Although Ansel doesn’t know how to draw the holy sword that has turned into a human.

How to draw the sword…to pull one’s head or to pull one’s feet, it’s really a difficult choice.

Naberis breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, he was really afraid that His Majesty would never return. Now that the Queen… ah no, His Majesty Ansel has the intention of coming back, he doesn’t have to worry about His Majesty Saros.

Because the Asmodeus family, the lineage of demon kings who inherit the sin of lust, is itself…

Devoted to love from generation to generation.

There was nothing else to report, so Naberis respectfully prepared to end the communication. Before the communication was completely cut off, he vaguely heard His Majesty say.

“…Are you going to sleep here tonight?”

Hiss!

So fast! As expected of His Majesty!

Naberis sighed for a moment as he faced the blackened magic mirror, but suddenly, he thought of a question.

The Asmodeus family has been devoted to love from generation to generation, loyal and faithful like the black swan, always obedient to their beloved…

He recalled in horror that Andre, the bastard from Suberbian City, had deliberately boasted to him about receiving communication from His Majesty Ansel. At that time, he was furious in his heart but couldn’t show it, so he exchanged passionate insults with the other party on the phone without using a single curse word.

No, it’s not good!

With Andre’s sinister and cunning personality, he will definitely complain to His Majesty Ansel!

Naberis suddenly felt his vision go dark, and as he looked around to see that there was no one around, he couldn’t help but bite the tips of his wings.

Not good!

To round it off, His Majesty Ansel will probably mention this matter in front of His Majesty Saros…

If you round it off again, His Majesty Saros will be dissatisfied…

Rounding it off again…

When the maid gently knocked on the door and came in, she was horrified to find that the prime minister of Luster City was already lying face down on the ground in a peaceful posture, with a white flower pulled out of the nearby vase placed next to his head.

“Lord Naberis!”

Unlike the maid who was panicking, the head maid was quite experienced. The magic in her hand to sweep away the dust didn’t stop, and she said calmly.

“Don’t worry too much. Smart demons always think too much. The prime minister’s delusion of being persecuted again had appeared again.” The head maid hesitated for a moment, “But this time, the attack seems to be particularly severe. It should’ve been stimulated by something very important.”

It’s so rare. This state of Prime Minister Naberis lying flat waiting to die must be because of some shocking news that can explode the demon world.

For example, His Majesty is getting married or something?

….

Ansel saw that Saros had ended the communication, and he was basically sure that the communication with the demon world had been fully restored, which made him feel very good. Although the days in the human world were generally very pleasant, His Majesty the Demon King was still thinking about the official documents that must have been accumulated during this time.

“Now that the communication is restored…” Saros said, “We can…”

Ansel subconsciously said.

“Then the official documents can be delivered.”

“…”

“What? Don’t you think so?”

To be honest, Saros really didn’t think so. He has been a Demon King for more than a thousand years, so he is naturally very proficient in his job. In addition to handling official affairs, he is also very proficient in…

How to fall in love.

The Asmodeus family even has specific dating methods. The teaching materials for this course comes from Demon Kings surnamed Asmodeus throughout history. Saros still remembers the shock when he first saw the ancient textbook, the title page was full of tips from the Demon Kings——

【Learn to fall in love and spend more time with your partner.】

【Work is the enemy of love.】

【If one magic hour of work is increased, one magic hour of love will be reduced.】

【Work only up to six hours a day, otherwise every extra minute will take you towards the ruin of your marriage.】

At a young age, Saros read and studied the entire textbook, and deeply felt that these messages were written very well…

It makes sense!

But the problem is that the ancient notebook mostly contains some tips on how to balance the work and marriage, without including the situation Saros is facing right now, that is—

What should he do if his sweetheart is another Demon King or a workaholic?

Ansel sighed heavily, fearing that he would probably have to work three part-time jobs in the coming days. There wouldn’t be many opportunities for him to sit here with Saros, enjoying the night breeze and drinking. 

He saw that Saros was also looking depressed, seemingly unhappy about the upcoming increase in workload. Ansel empathized with him, feeling that only a Demon King could understand another Demon King.

He asked, “Are you planning to deal with dozens of documents tonight?”

Planning to approve dozens of official documents? Or a hundred?

Saros: “…”

I don’t want to approve a single one! I only planned to fall in love!

But if he said this, would Ansel think that he is not very motivated?

Alarm bells suddenly started ringing in His Majesty’s head. Absolutely unacceptable. He must show great enthusiasm and motivation!

So he just said lightly.

“Just a hundred.”

Ansel’s eyes suddenly widened. Wow, he never expected that Saros, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, would start competing with him!

Damn it! He can’t let the Eastern Region lose face!

“I’m different.” He said preemptively, “I plan to approve about 120 documents.”

Saros choked for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said.

“One hundred and fourty.”

“One hundred and sixty!”

“Two hundred!”

“I won’t sleep tonight!”

***

Ansel…

This angel is very poisonous.

The early morning light slanted over the carved windows edges, gently spreading over the table. The morning always brings joy and vitality. Saros, however, couldn’t feel any joy at all. He held his forehead with one hand, his pupils trembling, and the desk was filled with piles of official documents.

Help!

He competed with Ansel all night!

This is not the kind of date he wanted at all!

Even when he was studying the course for the Demon King, he rarely stayed up all night like this. Saros was not only physically exhausted, he was mentally exhausted! Mental exhaustion!

Across from the desk, Ansel had already fallen down gloriously and was sleeping soundly. Saros vaguely remembered that Ansel suddenly collapsed around six o’clock, startling him. When he looked closer, he heard steady breathing.

…He fell asleep within a second after the power was cut off.

What kind of plot is this? What’s so frustrating is that he actually followed suit… His Majesty the Demon King leaned back in his chair, and although he was complaining in his heart, he could still feel a slight sweetness.

Perhaps this is also a kind of date.

Internal competition style dating.

In the morning light, his dark blue vertical pupils quietly gazed at the sleeping angel, with the white hair almost looking transparent under the light. He has heard that the Supreme Heaven is shrouded in light that is ten thousand times softer than this. He could already imagine how Ansel’s white hair would refract light in that soft light.

He glanced at the message he had received on the magic mirror last night.

——The Holy Court held secret talks with the Demon Hunter Club.

This is the signal of the start of a cleansing plan, where two human world organizations with the goal of hunting and exterminating the so-called “demons” have joined forces. The ultimate result will inevitably be the death of a large number of monsters, which is a good thing. Saros was well aware that the angel consul must have played a role in this. 

The arrow last night didn’t kill the opponent, and it also must have left a deep shadow. So it is reasonable to want revenge.

Ansel still used the power of the Demon King to shoot that arrow, so this account must have also been credited to him(Saros).

Saros doesn’t care about this, and he is willing to take the blame for these dangerous and troublesome things for Ansel. The only thing that made him displeased is the fact that the angel might have been hit by Ansel’s arrow.

——He also longed to face Ansel’s arrow directly, how dazzling and powerful it would be.

That consul angel got a bargain without doing anything.

Suddenly, Saros’ heart twitched. Since the Secret Council has been completely tied to the demon, and since he will never be defeated by others, perhaps… he can design such a plan.

The brave Ansel led his companions to slay the “demon” and ultimately defeated his plan as the demon king.

In this way, all forces in the world, except for the Secret Council, can be completely twisted into a rope to resist the monsters and work hard to defeat the demon. In the process, as long as he skillfully manipulates, a large number of monsters will die, and the leader monsters hidden under the water will be excavated one by one. He also understood that Ansel wanted to support the brave warriors in the human world, and this plan did not conflict with Ansel’s plan.

And, most importantly…

Ansel would also be able to atone for his sins like this.

Even if the Supreme Heaven holds Ansel accountable in the future, he will definitely be punished lightly.

He raised his hand and gently picked up a strand of white hair, wrapping it around his fingertips against the light. The hair was as bright and smooth as bird feathers.

He always worries about Ansel, and he only worries about Ansel.

His Majesty the Demon King was immersed in his thoughts with a tender expression on his face. He did not notice that Ansel, who was lying on the table, moved and then suddenly looked up.

“I accidentally fell asleep…it hurts!”

Ansel, who just woke up: “…”

Saros, who was caught grabbing the hair: “…”

Help!

What to do!

It’s something that’s not mentioned in the ancient textbook again!
