The Demon King's Paladin

Chapter 167. Introductions In Darkheim

The crowd of people all evacuated to another room to the right of the Throne Room.

/BANG!/

After they all left, the girl who tried to attack me tried to stand up, but the effects of Deacceleration caused her to fall onto her face again.

"... Say... Marquess Drake, could you release my sister from whatever spell you used on her?"

Prince Delcan awkwardly asked if I could release the spell.

" She's a Princess?"

" Is it really that surprising?"

My eyes naturally went to the girl currently trying to crawl on all fours to somehow tackle me. Once her fingers got close to my ankles, I move a few feet to the left. I looked back up to see Delcan and the Queen with somewhat tired expressions. The King was currently being calmed down by the Queen who was also keeping an eye on Delcan and me as we spoke.

" I'll release her. But can you come here and stop her from trying to attack me again, Prince Delcan?"

Delcan nodded his head and came down the stairs and grabbed his sister by her shoulders. I released the Deacceleration magic on her.

" How dare you!"

The Princess, who was obviously angry at what my spell had done to her, yelled in anger.

" Char! Calm down!"

" How can I be calm!? A Human is here!"

Seems that whole " Humans aren't our favorite guests" thing wasn't for show. The Princess was still struggling in Delcan's arms.

" He's a guest that Father asked to come here! Calm yourself down Char!"

" Then why were they about to attack him!? Tell me that, Del!"

" Because your father misread my words. I see you take after your father in terms of your tempers. If you both would calm down and listen to me, I can explain how this was all based on a misunderstanding."

The girl seemed to hear my words and seemed to realize that I wasn't trying to start a fight.

" If I don't buy your excuse, I'll kill you myself!"

" Charlotte!"

Delcan was shocked by the words of his sister. I take a look at the siblings and their parents. The relationships of the family were beginning to become clearer to me. The Queen and Delcan seemed to have cooler heads that calmed down the short tempered and what seems to be somewhat biased King and Princess.

" Try to harm my husband and I'll show you why the Humans fear us, Princess of the Dark Elves."

I sighed as I heard Sarah's voice coming from behind me. Despite the lack of her voice, I could tell Anna was thinking something similar to Sarah. I coughed before speaking as I wanted everyone to hear me speak.

" I'd like to again, remind everyone that My Wives and I are here to discuss the Elf attack against us, as well as to show that we bear no ill will towards the Dark Elves. I expect us all to be working in support of that goal."

Once I confirmed the King and Princess heard my words, I then turned to Delcan.

" Are there any other siblings I should be concerned will come and try to attack me?"

Delcan looked at me confused for a moment and then thought about his answer.

" No, Big Brother and Big Sis are currently in other places, so they shouldn't arrive here."
