[Chapter 11]
Some things certainly are easy to resolve with violence such as dealing with the demon king. The small team of warriors doesn’t have to think about anything nor is there any conflict of interest. There are no chances to discuss a business deal with the demons either. All Veirya had to do was swing her sword to eliminate all of her enemies and then take the demon king’s head.
It was a simple mission and a simple era. Veirya didn’t have to think about anything. Her world only consisted of her comrades and the only one they were facing was the demon king. She’s been to many places. She travelled all the way from humanity’s territories to the end of them. She’s seen the snow in the north and the flowers in the south. But those people’s joy and sadness wasn’t part of her world. The confrontations and games in the palace had nothing to do with her. Queen Sisi, the elves and the gnomes competed to see who could get the glory of being the first to kill the demon king, which was the direction the alliance took. However, that wasn’t something the warriors had to concern themselves with.Now though, the demon king is dead and Veirya is not needed anywhere. Veirya’s combat skills can’t resolve problems now. She could slaughter the entire village but what purpose would that serve? She’s no longer the warrior Veirya, and she wasn’t facing demons, but living humans. And she had a responsibility to watch over her people as the lord of the region.
Shedding blood here will only cause losses for both parties. They won’t get what they want and neither will we. Veirya can’t offer anything here now. It’s time for me to put my skills to use now.
With their guidance, I arrived at what looked like the tallest and most luxurious building in this town.
It looks like this group of deserters was eager to talk with me instead of getting violent as well, because they were very courteous toward me. Not only did they not restrain my hands, they didn’t hold a blade up against my neck either. They treated me much friendlier than Veirya which was quite ironic.
This must be where the new town-leader is residing. The buildings here really do give off the North’s vibe. The walls were high and thick. The windows weren’t large. All of the buildings faced in one direction. The homes of the commoners were small homes with flat roofs. They looked somewhat cute.
I entered the tall building. I looked at the deserters to my left and right and remarked: “This must be your leader’s residence, right? It doesn’t look like you’ve done anything besides looking after the town.”
“We just wanted to find somewhere to settle down. We don’t have a choice either. The people here detest demons way too much, and hate us too for deserting and fleeing from the demon they hated.”
The troop next to me looked very young. He was probably just a kid. He was excessively thin because his young body couldn’t handle the heavy armour and responsibilities. Dressed in his armour, he was wobbling like a scarecrow in the wind. It’s just that he didn’t look like he could drive away demons looking to kill humans. He touched his nose due to his fear. He kept sniffling due to the cold weather. He quietly said: “We didn’t want this to happen either…… We… we… we want to return home too… but… but… we… we never wanted to fight…… But we can’t return home now. The people here said they would report us which means that we’ll all be locked up……”
Another troop violently poked him in the back to stop him from saying anymore. I walked up the stairs and looked at the large door painted red. I chuckled and said: “The true lord has arrived so you don’t need to continue guarding this place anymore. I know what you’re thinking. Let’s discuss how to settle this matter properly.”
