7th Demon Prince Jilbagias' Chronicle of Demon Kingdom Toppling-Chapter 132.2 - Overwhelming Shock
Chapter 132.2 - Overwhelming Shock
Released from the tension, Rumifia fell on her rear. Her body was drenched in cold sweat. If someone died during the welcome banquet due to her―― Not that she wanted Germadios to die no matter how much she hated him.
She didn't wish for things to go that far and yet…
However, that was not the end of the story.
「Ah.」
Germadios' horn that happened to be on the side of the sword tip was…
『――Look at my horn. Don't you think it's a beautifully refined shape? I take care of it every day――』
He is always singing a gloomy praise about the tip of his own horn…
Plop…
「…」
Rumifia saw Germadios fainting while blowing bubbles.
Only after Jilbagias shrugged his shoulders awkwardly did everyone in the hall snap out of their dumbfounded state and all rush at once toward Germadios――
The hall was filled with agonizing cries.
「It's… It's not my…」
Rumifia retreated just like that.
「… Fault… I've nothing to do with this!」
She rose up quickly and left that place immediately.
She ignored the puzzled employees who looked at her dubiously as she passed them in the hallway, entered her room, and covered her body with a blanket.
She had no idea that the prince was truly that strong.
She had no idea that Germadios would act so recklessly.
As a result of such factors―― The little prank of hers turned into a huge incident.
Thus, she couldn't help but wonder what was going to happen to her and Germadios after this incident.
She was completely terrified inside by this incident――
Lumiafia couldn't sleep due to her anxiety, even as night turned to dawn.

――Alvar Auril Reiju was the oldest son of the Auril family.
His trademark was his slicked-back gray hair. Unlike most of his kin, he was unusually cooperative with others. Resulting in some outspoken demon race to mock him as 『Weakling』, though properly speaking, his skill was above the average of his peers.
Since he wasn't an oppressive individual and was good at taking care of others, he was really popular among the kids and those younger than him, some even call him big bro.
「Ok guys, are you ready?」
「Anytime!」
「At your command, big bro!」
On this day, he, along with the people that he treated as his younger brothers, who went through many hardships with him, came to greet Jilbagias in the banquet hall.
Though they had to escape from the patriarch who yelled angrily at them before due to their previous antic―― Namely raising a horizontal banner to welcome the prince―― Upon arriving in his home, his father who heard about that incident hit his head with fist and gave him an earful of scolding after that.
However, that wasn't enough to dampen his resolution. A little scolding wasn't enough to discourage him. Members of the Auril family, men and women, had a uselessly tough mentality.
Since he didn't have the status to attend the welcome banquet, he planned to sneak into the banquet hall after the meal and greeting was mostly done.
「Big bro, you look more stylish than ever!」
「Hehehe, I look cool, right?」
Receiving the praise from his younger brother, Alvar Auril proudly rubbed his nose. He felt that in casual clothes, he might stand out, so he borrowed one of his father's best outfits from the closet.
「Let's get along with the prince so that we can raise our status!」
「OOOH!」
「OOOH!」
Thus, the trio walked into the venue with triumphant smiles on their face――
Only to be left in shock upon stepping into the hall.
The table was ransacked as if there had been a brawl just now.
The employees were busy tidying up the tableware that had scattered across the floor.
The hall was enveloped in an eerie atmosphere as even the attendants were whispering something among each other while drinking liquor――
「Looks like someone was just brawling in this place.」
「Who's the bastard who dared to ransack his highness’s welcome party?」
Alvar Auril got pissed off hearing the whisper of his brothers behind.
「We will give that daredevil―― A lesson that he will never forget!」
「Yes!」
「Anytime!」
The demons around them did a double take upon overhearing the enthusiastic conversation of the trio but in the end, chose not to say anything.
As for Jilbagias himself――
He was being licked all over by a beautiful, blonde-haired woman on the platform.
To be exact, a high elf with missing limbs.
「Big bro! Is that by chance…」
「Yeah… The rumored high elf pet!」
Even the trio was taken aback as they confirmed the rumor.
「As expected of His Highness! To be able to do something so bold in front of everyone…」
「Yeah… We're no match for him!」
They once again marvelled upon confirming just how amazing Jilbagias was, yet here they are, wanting to become such a figure's retainer.
Nevertheless, the faces of Eijewald and Siegwald, who were sitting on his highness's side, twitched non-stop, and the archduchess talked about something with the patriarch… What is going on here?
(Well, since there's a commotion at the welcome feast, it might just make things awkward.)
He dismissed it just like that.
Fortunately, they could easily give their greeting to Jilbagias since the others had already finished their greeting.
「YOUR HIGHNESS, PLEASE FORGIVE OUR PREVIOUS CHARADE! I'M ALVAR AURIL REIJU!」
The patriarch glanced at them for a moment―― As if to say, "You guys really don't know when to give up" before letting them do as they pleased.
「Oh, you lots. You really came to give your greeting eh.」
Jilbagias replied with a wry smile. The high elf who had just finished licking him a while ago and was currently curling on his laps raised her head, looking confused before licking her master again.
(Nevertheless… That is…)
Alvar Auril was puzzled hearing Jilbagias's reply.
Unlike before, Jilbagias' outfit was now designed as if it looked damaged.
(How original! Is that the latest fashion in the Demon King Castle?)
But he couldn't say it.
「So, you said that you want to become my retainer, is it?」
Hearing Jilbagias' remark, Eijiwald, who sat beside hi,m got startled, but Alvar Auril replied with "Yes".
「We want to serve you! Please allow us to work as your limbs.」
The entire hall fell into an eerie silenceupon hearing Alvar Auril's words.
「U~hm… Well, I guess it's hard to give you an answer in this kind of situation…」
Jilbagias was pondering for a while before looking at the next patriarch, Siegwald, who sat beside him.
「I happen to need some attendants. Since there are no other candidates, can I take them under my wing, Siegwald-dono?」
「A-Ah… No problem. There's no other candidate.」
Siegwald readily accepted with a cramped face.
(WOOOYEAH!)
(SERIOUSLY!)
(HE GAVE IN THAT EASILY!)
The trio was jumping for joy on the inside.
The young, up-and-coming prince of the same clan. A rare chance to get ahead with their career, young people were flooding to ask the prince to choose them as his retainer. And they thought that they were going to be rejected at the gate, and yet…
「But you have to fight me. I have to know about your skills.」
「Sure, no problem!!」
The demon race in the hall looked at Alvar Auril again, who replied without a shred of hesitation.
After discussing the condition of the match, Alvar Auril and co left that place.
「WE DID IT!」
「YOU'RE A GENIUS, BIG BRO!」
「OUR FORTUNE HAS COME!」
The trio was shouting delightfully while linking their shoulders on the way back――
(Nevertheless,)
Alvar Auril suddenly realized something once he calmed down.
――Why did the people in the hall look at us with such a look of pity?
He will know the answer later―― But that was a story for another time.
