The Saint Now
"Sylvie-kun, she looks a lot calmer too."
Strea-san said as he watched Sylvie basking in the sun with Maria outside.
"I told the queen that I was going to see Light-kun. And she asked me to check on Sylvie as well as Fran."
It's almost been a year since Sylvie came here. From my perspective, I think her expression has become softer than when she first arrived.
In the beginning, she was always frightened and spent a lot of time alone. But after she opened her heart to Maria, she slowly started to get closer to the family around her.
Now, she calls everyone in the family [Onee-chan], and even calls me [Daddy].
Due to her disability, she is still immature and doesn't talk much, but I often see her trying to change herself.
She trained [Recovery Magic] with me, but she also stuck with Maria and Fran and helped them with the housework, and she also got closer to Lida and Sill, the two demi-humans, and made sweets with them and gave them as presents.
Both Lida and Sill were shocked at first, but when they received the sweets from Sylvie, they cried with joy.
Ever since Midori-chan came, she's been going to the dark elf village with her to help with farming. However, Sill, who was accompanying her, told her that she still needed to get used to dealing with a large number of demi-humans.
Even so, Sylvie is trying to change. I don't know if she is trying to forget her painful past or if she has some thoughts about herself now, but she is trying to move forward.
I told Strea-san that. Strea-san also listens quietly with a kind smile.
"You are a truly kind Demon King. I think I understand why you were loved by God. And I am grateful to God for sending you."
"I'm not a particularly kind person. I just live my life as I please. In that sense, everyone who follows my selfish ways is kinder.''
"Fufufu. Well, let's put it that way."
Strea-san chuckled and put his hand on my shoulder.
Empire Side
This is Gaienas, the capital of the empire. The emperor's office in the imperial castle.
Although the office is decorated with glittering decorations, it is also equipped with enough functional beauty that it does not hinder the performance of the duties.
A secretary was giving a report to the owner of the room, Emperor Aquinas Gaienas and the Prime Minister.
"...That being said, there is a movement to expel the church in the current kingdom."
Both the prime minister and the emperor seemed uninterested in the latest status reports of the kingdom and continued reading and signing documents on their desks. The secretary, knowing how busy the two men were, simply continued to report.
"Next, the birth rate of livestock in the empire is decreasing, and the price of livestock is rising in the slave market."
The Prime Minister then looked up and asked the secretary.
"That also serves as a report on the latest status of the Eastern Front Army, right?"
The secretary straightens himself in response to the prime minister's question.
"Ha! That's right. There are reports from Fort Diggins, Eastern Army, indicating that they had found it."
At this point, the emperor finally turned his attention to the secretary.
"They finally found it? And where is it?"
"It is expected to be at the bottom of the Fire Dragon Mountains."
The Prime Minister frowned at the secretary's answer.
"Another troublesome place..."
"We have received a request from Fort Diggins asking for permission for the [Hero] party to sortie."
The Prime Minister raised his eyebrows at the secretary's words.
"It would be a waste to use the [Hero] party for hunting, but... would it be necessary for the Fire Dragon Mountains?''
"Your Majesty, there is a possibility that even the [Hero] party is insufficient. I think we should have an S-rank or A-rank adventurer accompany them."
"Fumu, I'll leave the selection to you. I'll also allow the [Hero] party to sortie. Fufu. I wonder how long it's been since the war between the demons and the heroes."
"I think it's been about 180 years."
"So, you're saying that I will be able to accomplish something that hasn't been done in 180 years? That's amazing."
The emperor shows a fearless smile. The Prime Minister turns to the secretary and asks another question.
"What about the captured prisoner?"
"It is used for both torture and comfort at Fort Diggins."
"Did it reveal the location?"
"No, it didn't say. However, after continuing to explore the area where it was captured, we concluded that it was the Fire Dragon Mountains."
"I see. Then we don't need the prisoner."
"The fort has also made the same decision and has reported that they will take action soon."
"It was its first, right? It should have been presented to His Majesty the Emperor first."
The prime minister made such a joke with a vulgar smile on his face.
"I have no interest in the first of a livestock."
The emperor also laughed at the joke and responded.
Fort Diggins Side
In a dimly lit dungeon, a man was shaking his hips. Behind him, a soldier on guard called out to the man in shock.
"How can you get off from something like that? I'm afraid of getting sick, so I can't do it."
The man trembled for a moment, as if he had just climaxed, and then stood up. Then, while putting away his thing, he answered the guard.
"It's a blessing for low-ranking soldiers like us to be able to hold a woman. Even if it looks like trash, it is still a woman. It's a waste if you don't use it."
"There are brothels if you go down to the city."
"I don't have that kind of money. I'm just using this thing because I can do it for free."
The man kicked the woman he had been holding until a moment ago.
"Tsk! It's boring because it doesn't react in any way."
"Well, it looks like it's time to dispose of it. That one."
"Are you serious? It's such a waste. If that's the case, I think I'll let out one more shot."
"Please don't be late."
Saying that, the guard yawned and looked away.
The man takes out the thing he just put away and inserts it into the woman, shaking his hips. The woman accepts it without showing any reaction.
The woman has one arm chained and the other arm missing. Her leg was cut off and she was unable to walk. The collar of servitude is placed around her neck and she is not allowed to die. Her genitals have already been crushed by countless men that raped her and she is unable to urinate.
The expression on her face makes it hard to tell if she's alive or dead, her eyes are blank and they don't know where she's looking, and all of her teeth have been pulled out, and her mouth is lazily dripping with saliva.
Even so, she was still living in a hell where she continued to be used as a plaything for men.
Only the soul of a warrior who protects her clan remains...
