Demon King's Mentor

Estero sat by the fireplace for a long time, until late at night, he stopped outside the door of Mrs. Eluchil's room. His heart was in a state of confusion, and the disappointment and loneliness of being helpless almost made him feel breathless. Heavy, just when he was about to leave, the door was suddenly opened, and the maid holding the water glass saluted after seeing him, and then walked out from him.

When he raised his head, Estero saw his mother sitting on the head of the bed, her blond hair was scattered around her pale cheeks, she hadn't seen her for several days, and she had aged a lot.

"Esther." Mrs. Eluchil saw his face and beckoned him to pass.

Estero took a step and stopped immediately, but soon walked over to her, and sat down on the chair beside the bed, but his eyes never fell on the other person's face.

Mrs. Eluchil stretched out her hand to hold the icy hand that rested restlessly on her knee, and she held it in her palm: "Why don't you know how to wear more at night?"

"Hmm..." Estero didn't know what to say to her. In fact, they hadn't talked properly for several years. The last time they had a knee-to-neck conversation was...

"Is there something on your mind, my child?" Mrs. Eluchil looked at her son, and stroked his handsome side face. Perhaps it was the disease that made her weak, and her tone was as gentle as if there had never been a relationship between them. There was a estrangement, "Can you tell me?"

Looking at the eyes that were similar in shape to his own, Estero felt the warmth of his cheeks, and anxiously considered whether to blurt out what had just happened.And Mrs. Eluchil, who seemed to see his hesitation, held his hand tightly: "If you don't want to say it, you don't need to say it. Mother is with you. I hope you can feel better."

The almost unprecedented tenderness and thoughtfulness made Eastero's nose sore, and he suddenly understood that in this world, he is now surrounded by only his own mother, only his mother, although the way of doing things is always wrong, But only his mother regarded him as the only one in his life, Eastero suddenly lowered his head: "Mother, I..."

Then, he told his mother what had just happened. After hearing this, Mrs. Eluchil stroked his hair and held him in her arms: "My poor East, why does the world always treat you like this?" ...Don't be sad, everything has passed, you still have me, there are still a long time, everything that fate owes you will give you better repayment, baby, don't be discouraged."

While her consolation gave Eastero some respite, it also made him feel the depth of his sins. He even began to think about whether he could negotiate with Denat to revise the contract.

And Swan was coiling around Eric's neck, and before the effect of the veritaserum disappeared, he asked him to tell the location of his friend and took him to the Alatalier Forest in the east.

The early morning mist lingered among the yellow-green needles of the cypress trees, and the cold wind of early autumn blew through the low-hanging grass. Not far away, intermittent green smoke floated up, and the familiar flag of the Greybuck Mercenary Corps was gently raised and lowered.

"Who is where?!" A man holding a spear walked towards him.

Eric took two steps back in a panic, and the man's messy bearded face appeared in sight, making him stop again: "Captain Kastan!"

Eric has never forgotten the face of the other party comforting himself in front of the corpses of Timon, Gilens and Lamir. Whenever he thinks back to that day, he will always feel a little sorry for the captain who trained him. When he was still too young and self-righteous, if he hadn't been blinded by hatred at that time, if he had listened to the other party's kind advice...

"Who are you?! Why do you know my name?" Castan saw that the other party was wearing expensive clothes, and the sword on his waist looked plain, but it looked like a luxury item used by a knight. Or the robber, "Sir, this is where the Greybuck mercenaries are stationed, what are you doing alone in this wilderness?"

Eric looked into his brown eyes. "Please let me join you."

Duke Henry Samar tidied things up again in the room. When the Duchess came back from the outside, she saw such a messy scene.

"What are you doing, Henry?" Duchess Elestine kicked the pile of clothes blocking the door.

"As you can see, I'm packing my things and preparing to go to the capital." Duke Samar stood up from the pile of clothes, "Did you have a good trip, dear?"

"The attendants on the road were worried, afraid of encountering the Demon King's army." Duchess Elestine replied, "Mom and Dad have received a notice from Nafin that they are going to take refuge in the Emerald Realm temporarily, and the Elf King will take them in."

Duke Samar stroked his red hair back, and looked at his wife seriously with gray eyes: "Ailestin, you go to take refuge with your parents, even if you give up your elf status, you are still an elf, elf The king will not ignore you."

Elestine froze for a moment, stepped forward, and asked, "What are you going to do, Henry? Is there any bad news?"

"No," Duke Samar looked at the few books under her feet, "You stepped on my precious books."

"Don't go to the capital!" Elestine grabbed his arm, "Don't you know what's going on now? Come with me, if we can't enter the Emerald Realm, then build a place near there." House, live together!"

"Elestein, I am very moved. The facts of the palace are complicated," he looked into the green eyes of the other party, "but although it is complicated, it is not fatal... After all, I am the king's uncle, and now the king can't listen to other people. go down."

"Just because you're the king's uncle!" Elestine said sullenly, "Those stupid guys have been looking for you to find a solution, but what does this matter have to do with you? Even if you don't go, no one will take you away." How about it! What's more, you don't know any spells!"

"Baby, these things must be resolved by someone. Since fate has chosen me, then I shouldn't run away. Fendel is getting weaker and weaker now, and the neighboring countries are all waiting for our failure. If Lorian and Is If Troy continues like this, the whole of Fendel will fall into disaster. If the country ceases to exist and everyone is involved in the war, then where can we escape? Perhaps the fall of Fendel will eventually make the Elf King Inevitably joining the war," Duke Samar looked at her, "seriously, I'm glad I can play a role in this, as a non-magic person, this may be my value. I don't want to be a bystander Or, before I die in old age and body, I regret why I didn't stand up. My parents, sister and you have always protected me. I can turn the tide, but now I also want to protect everyone."

Elestine pondered for a while, staring into his eyes: "I really can't convince you forever, Henry." She took the other's hand, "Then, please let me go with you, you are responsible for protecting everyone, and I am responsible for protecting everyone." Protect you, my husband."
