The Demon King's Paladin Part 1 Vol 2.

Chapter 314. Walking Back To The Fracks

" Do you think that you'll be able to find it, Matthew?"

" Yes, I think so. Since they gave me what I asked for, I don't think it'll be too hard to find them, Alice."

We were on our way back to the townhouse of the Fracks since we had finished speaking with Ms. Victoria and her daughter. The difference from walking towards the house and back was just a change in who was guarding me. Apparently, our guards all got together and played rock, paper, scissors to determine who would guard where. Hana and Mia are now my left and right guards respectively. Once we had that all sorted out, we began to walk home. At the end of the day, Ms. Victoria's request didn't just surprise me, but it also surprised her husband and son.

" Please, find their bodies so I can give them a proper burial."

Ms. Victoria looked sad as she spoke and why wouldn't she? She's asking a stranger, a Human, who she's shown that she doesn't particularly like, to find the corpses of her son and husband. Even though she must've been feeling such heavy emotions, I saw a strength in her eyes as well. I took a moment after she asked me for that request. Not because I had to consider doing it, but I wanted to know if I actually could find it. That's when I heard a voice that answered my question.

" Boss! Let me help! I can sniff their scents out if you can find something that they used a bunch!"

With Rex's suggestion, I decided that his method would be the best way to do it. I'd be able to find their bodies pretty quickly since Rex's sense of smell was ridiculously good. With that decision made, I nodded to Ms. Victoria and explained that I needed an item from both Patrick and Victor each used a bunch. To that, I got a pair of gloves that Patrick used and a hat that Victor used to wear a lot as a kid. Rex gave the okay to it and then we left the house. Patrick and Victor decided to stay with their family for now. Hopefully they find some form of closure for themselves as they sit with Ms. Victoria and Kim for the next few days. Now I was just checking with Sarah and Anna that they were okay with what happened at the home of the Harvey family.... And they had some opinions.

" Even though she was dealing with her grief... I wasn't a fan of how Ms. Victoria was treating you... Maybe I'm lacking in my sympathy?"

" No Sarah, I share similar feelings... It seems at the end she started to believe our words, however. Maybe she just needs time to heal?"

" She is dealing with a lot, it's not like I can't understand where she's coming from after all."

Sarah, Anna and Princess Alice all started to speak about Ms. Victoria. They all seemed to be of the same mind. Whether they were right, or she truly did just not like Humans, I don't really feel it matters since I don't like the idea of keeping Patrick and Victor's bodies out in the wild or wherever it is that they're being kept. I plan on doing a quick look around with Rex around where the mansion used to stand before the God Of The Blackwoods destroyed it.

" What do you think, My Love?"

The girls were looking at me for my opinion on the topic. I was busy thinking about looking for the bodies.

" If you mean Ms. Victoria, I think it's normal to dislike me because of being a Human. When you really think about it, Paradise is more of an anomaly than normal. Sure, there's Demons all around Diablos who think differently, but I'd say I'm more used to strangers in Diablos treating me how Ms. Victoria treated me than how the Dreadnaught family did when I first arrived. Even Alice doesn't like me too much until we had to fight together, right?"

" Ah..."

" Hm?"

Princess Alice made a strange noise, I was confused as we walked, I looked to Sarah and Anna to see if they had any idea why Princess Alice had made that noise, but she answered the question herself.
