Demon King Reincarnation

Demon King Reincarnation Chapter 9.2

The family I've always wanted

I've come to a sweet place. Since this is what I've always wanted, I felt relieved, from the bottom of my heart.

"Hey, Sujata. Good morning. How are you feeling today? The people living in my territory are mostly farmers, if you're feeling up to it, how about reading up on them? Ahh, I wonder if the subjects of industry and commerce might be better? I'll be really happy if I can learn what Sujata's interests are. Ahh, it's fine if you don't want to because I'm asking something unreasonable. What Sujata wants to do is the most important thing."

My new father was – Duke Edward Angelique. There's many strange people and perverts among the nobility, but it's my first time meeting a noble who's such an otaku about his own people like this. Suddenly getting a son – what's more, becoming the heir even though I'm a complete stranger that he knows nothing about, I thought for sure that he would dislike me. He actually respects what I want to do.

"Sujata~ You can just ditch your father, let's go shopping together~! I've always, always wanted the chance to dress up a boy! I also know where the cake shop with the most delicious cakes is~. Hehehe, it's a secret from the other nobles, you know? Since they would just buy out the store and make them make terrible sweets fitting their own tastes, I definitely won't tell them!"

My new mother was – Duchess Alison Angelique. I've heard that she's a terrible wastrel in her spending habits. I thought that she would be a really high-handed lady, but this is how she was instead. She respected the atmosphere of the cake shop that was run entirely by commoners, and indeed, she was a person equipped with a sense for beauty and aesthetics. Also, just like my father Edward, she treated me just like her own son. Even though I should have been a boy she really wanted to kill.

Family is such a warm thing. If this continues, anything – no, I'll do anything to make sure this continues, and, having learned how warm family is, eventually, I as well...... will make a family of my own.

Even though that's what I had thought.

"Older brother, a-ni-u-e-sa-ma! Hehehe, are you honored to have a girl as beautiful as I am as your little sister? Heh heh, well then, since you've become family with me now, what do you want? I'll allow anything! A-ny-th-ing!"

Why does this girl have to act like this while sitting on my knee, I wonder. I really can't imagine those parents giving birth to a girl like her at all. Why is she...... this massive evil, the root of all evil, Demon King, I could only think of those kinds of words to describe her, why is she such an abominable, arrogant, inhuman, rotten living creature, I wonder. Did these parents really raise a child like Rose? I really want to hear more about this.

I probably have nothing to be grateful about to this girl at all.
