The Demon King's Paladin

Chapter 143. 2 Jobs And A Family

We made our way to the banquet table, we were greeted by everyone we ran into, I was surprised to see that the Humans and Demons were actually getting along for a change. It was like they were actually friendly with each other.

" Did I miss something while I was locked away in the factory?"

I asked my wives as I don't remember anything major happening.

" Oh, right we didn't get a chance to tell you since everyone was so busy."

Sarah seemed to remember something important. I waited for her words before as we sat down at the table we were assigned to.

" During our fight with the Wyvern, in the bunker. Apparently, there was a fight between a male Demon and a male Human. Pandemonium broke out, until Emily stepped in and scolded them. From there, apparently relations have been easy going. That Demon and Human that started the fight have been see drinking together and wearing smiles as they chatted."

" Wow, Emily sure has a way with words!"

I let out a smile and exclaimed my true thoughts on the matter. My respect of Emily has shot up significantly from that. I guess she really has it in her to be a leader after all! I hope she and the rest of the Humans can make it to Kuga like they want to.

" I mean... I think another person could've done it as well..."

Anna spoke in a whisper; I almost didn't hear her.

" Who would that be Anna? Sarah?"

She was surprised when I asked her who. She simply lifted her hand and pointed at me.

" Me? I mean... I guess my idea originally was to bring the 2 groups together, but it didn't work out that well until they all thought they were going to die."

To my words, Sarah began to speak.

" I think that may have more to do with all of the work you were busy doing. Whether you agree or not, because of your decisions, Wendy and Ellie are now friends without a death sentence breathing down their necks and threatening them, sure you didn't give a giant speech about friendship, but the fact you're here, married to us. I think it shows that Humans and Demons getting along is possible. I doubt there'll be any naysayers once we finally start our family properly in the coming year."

Sarah began to rub her stomach while showering me with a hot gaze. I guess my words have brought her motherly instincts into overdrive. Anna was also staring at me as well. I wonder how long I can keep holding back. I mean... I want them to have my children to...

" Lord Drake! Good evening!"

As we were staring at each other, Rodrick had come to greet us. I'm not sure if that was a good or bad thing. My wives seem to think it's a bad thing judging by the annoyed expression they showed me before changing to a neutral expression and facing Rodrick. I returned Rodrick's greeting after we all turned to him.

" Good evening, Rodrick, how are you today?"

 Rodrick's aversion to milk and dairy products has changed considerably since people in Paradise began to try it. He wasn't there at lunch that day, but around 4 days after that lunch, the Iceskin family put in a request for ice cream to my factory, with Rodrick's signature. I was happy to oblige. With that, the Iceskins haven't been able to control themselves with their ice cream. I continue to mention that ice cream is a dessert so there's plenty of sugar in it. Only the women in town seem to heed my advice. The men continue to have ice cream as dessert for lunch and dinner. Thankfully, I'm producing more than enough at the factory to support Paradise's craving. I'm building a good surplus and keeping them kept and frozen in a giant freezer in the factory. This'll be good for my plans during that birthday celebration that's coming and the plans after that if everything goes well.
