Chapter 138

The Schnarpe family wagon carrying the farm family headed to Demon Lord castle.  

Each one of them in the carriage reacted differently.

Kaneff looked out the window with his arms folded with his peculiar languid expression, and next to him, Andras closed his eyes and maintained a calm expression.  

Lia glanced outside the window with a slightly nervous look. She seemed to be checking how far left until the Demon Lord Castle is. 

Speranza, who sat on my lap, smiled and looked out through the window as if she was happy to go out together with everyone like this. 

I was in a vague state mixed with tension and expectation. 

To be more honest, this whole situation still felt like a dream.  

Even spending time with everyone on the Demon Farm felt unrealistic for me, but now I’m going to meet the Demon Lord, whom no one on Earth has ever met.  

It felt like I was on a prank show with cameras hidden somewhere.

I stared blankly out of the window, imagining useless things. 

The carriage passed through Pilgram, which we visited a few days ago, and proceeded straight to the boulevard. 

The grandeur of the huge snowy mountain grew closer and closer. 

At one point, the landscape outside the window began to disappear along with the buildings of the city, and the Demons on the street. 

After silently going along the path of a lonely and desolate atmosphere, the Demon Lord Castle appeared.  

Chillingly emitting blue light, the Demon Lord Castle exuded an elegant yet fearsome aura. 

Even in front of the grandeur of the majestic snow mountains, the Demon Lord Castle, without backing down, boasted its strong presence. 

“It’s almost time to arrive.”  

Kaneff’s murmur spread a strange tension in the carriage.  

The carriage went through a long bridge and arrived in front of the large gate of the Demon Lord Castle. 

The wall and the gate were on a much larger than the one in Pilgram. 

“Stop! Whoever brings the carriage, identify yourself immediately!” 

“It’s a carriage from the Schnarpe family. The people inside the carriage are the guests of the Castle who have been allowed to attend the audience of the Great Guardian of Arkadan.”  

A conversation between the guards and the Coachman was heard from outside the carriage. 

After a while, a fully armed guard approached the side.  

He looked inside the carriage, flashing his nose and eyes under the helmet. 

Speranza flinched at the cold look and dug into my arms.  

“Thank you for your hard work. This is a letter that arrived at the Schnarpe residence from the Castle this morning. Check it out.”  

Andras took the letter out of his arms and handed it to the guard, who checked the seal on the envelope and returned it immediately.  

“We have confirmed the seal on the letter. Please wait a moment, we’ll open the gate right away.”  

As soon as the guard returned, the heavy sound of the gate moving in front of the carriage rang out. 

CREEEEEEEEK!  

The big gate was completely opened and the carriage began to move again. 

As soon as the carriage entered the castle, soldiers on horseback surrounded it as if escorting it. 

The carriage followed their guidance and headed forward. 

The carriage stopped in front of the largest building after passing several buildings.  

“Master, we’re here.”  

The carriage door opened and the party inside stepped down one after another. 

Then, as if waiting, the door of the building opened and several Demons appeared.  

Among them, a woman in an ordinary dress and glasses stepped forward and bowed her head. 

“Welcome, guests from Yakum Farm. My name is Marlene, and I’m in charge of managing the Castle. 

“Welcome.” 

“Welcome.” 

Following the woman who introduced herself as Marlene, the Demons in the back also bowed their heads. 

While I was thinking about how to respond to the polite greetings, a disinterested voice popped out from my side. 

“Old lady, stop saying formal greetings, just give a quick introduction. I want to get this crap over with as soon as possible and go back.”  

“You still have the savagery of ignoring the least courtesy and procedure, Sir. Kaneff.” 

Despite her cold response, Kaneff snorted and ignored her.  

As the two were engaged in a small war of nerves, Lia, who was standing behind, stepped forward. 

“Hello, Madame Marlene.” 

“Nice to meet you, Miss Lia. How have you been?” 

“Yes! I’ve missed your guidance.”  

“That’s great to hear, I’ve been waiting for the day to see you again, too, listening to Miss Lia’s news sometimes.” 

While talking to Lia, a warm smile bloomed on Marlene’s face. 

She looked completely different from when she faced Kaneff. 

“Miss Lia, let’s have our conversation later…”  

“Yes!”  

Lia retreated and Marlene’s eyes turned towards the rest of the party. 

Her eyes deepened the moment her eyes reached me. 

At that short moment, I felt like it was penetrating my heart.  

“Stop? Why are you looking at other people’s subordinates so much?”  

Marlene’s eyes returned to Kaneff. 

” I apologize. I must have shown presumptuous interest because you are the man from the rumors.”

“No,I’m fine.” 

“Sihyeon, watch out for that old lady. She might eat you up in the blink of an eye.”  

Kaneff’s words sounded like the words of an uncle scaring his Kindergarten niece, and I was dumbfounded by his nonsense.  

“Boss, what are you saying all of a sudden?” 

“It’s true. She may look like that, but on the inside, she’s completely…” 

“Then before you go to see the Great Lord, I’ll show you where you can relax. Follow me.”  

I don’t know if it’s coincidence or intentional, but Marlene cut off Kaneff’s words and began to guide us.  

Kaneff shrugged his shoulders and was the first to walk after her. 

Soon after, the rest of the party followed him.  

As a place where the Lord of the Demon world lives, the interior of the castle boasted a huge luster. 

I felt that the Schnarpe residence was huge, but comparing it to the Castle it felt like a warehouse. 

The corridor is so long that I can’t see the end of it and there was a door that I can’t even guess what it was made of. 

On top of that, there were irregular stairs.  

I was afraid that I might lose Speranza in this maze-like place and soon my hands became wet.  

Marlene stopped in front of a big door. 

“We’ve arrived.” 

In response to her gesture, the servants next to her quickly opened the door.  

“Please take a break here. I’ll pick you up again on time. If you need anything, you can tell the servants next to you.” 

We followed Marlene’s guidance into the room. 

A familiar voice was heard from the room.

“You’re finally here.” 

“Ryan!” 

The familiar Demon with two horns and purple eyes welcomed us in an attire that was not like the office worker I’ve seen in the office. 

“Are you invited, too?” 

“No, Mr. Kaneff. I’ve already met the Lord because I have something to report to him. I was waiting since I heard that the farm staff were coming here today.”  

Ryan greeted the farm members with a warm welcome. 

He looked around us with a smile of satisfaction.  

“You’re all dressed up nicely. It’s very nice to see.” 

“I heard from Andras that you helped to make a reservation at [The wind’s touch] store?’ 

“That’s fine. It’s a family-sponsored place.”  

“Maybe because of us, the burden must have increased to the store.” 

“Haha! You don’t have to worry about that. Making Sihyeon’s clothes might be even good for the tailor who made the clothes.”  

Ryan smiled leisurely and relieved me of my worries. 

Looking at it, I suddenly remembered the image of the female Demon I met at the store.  

“Oh! Come to think of it, I met Ryan’s sister at the store.” 

“You met Celine?” 

Ryan asked back in surprise. 

“Yes, she recognized Andras and greeted us first.”  

I explained the situation at that time. 

Ryan who heard it looked at Andras with a stern look on his face. 

They exchanged mysterious glances for a while. 

“Sihyeon. Did Sister Celine do anything rude?”  

“No, she didn’t……”  

I shuddered at the thought of the last charming whisper Celine left behind. 

It was still very strange to think about how I felt then.  

Ryan sighed as if he noticed something from my reaction.  

“Sihyeon, I can’t give you a detailed explanation, but next time if Sister Celine reaches out to you, can you firmly decline it? Please.” 

“Well… I’ll do that.”  

I nodded to his earnest request for now. 

When I glanced around, Kaneff and Andras seemed to know something about the female Demon called Celine.  

Is Ryan not on good terms with his sister? 

Or is it related to the ability to control the mind?  

I made a few short guesses in my head, but I couldn’t make a definite conclusion. 

Inevitably, I decided to put aside my curiosity about the Demon called Celine.  

About 30 minutes after taking a break, Marlene came back to the room with the knights. 

“Sorry to make you wait. I’ll show you where the Great Lord is.” 

Am I finally going to see the Demon Lord personally?  

I naturally took Speranza’s hand and prepared to leave.  

“Mr.Sihyeon, I’m sorry, but I don’t think she’ll be able to meet the Great Lord.” 

“Huh?” 

“Only four of you, except for Sir. Ryan has been given permission.” 

My face turned dark when I heard that I couldn’t be with Speranza. 

Speranza also looked up at me with an anxious look on her face. 

Ryan, who was watching this, quickly stepped up to reassure me. 

“Sihyeon, leave Speranza to me. I’ll take good care of her.” 

Uh-huh. Is there any way?  

I don’t want to leave Speranza in a place she’s not used to, but I knew well that if I force myself here, many people would be in trouble.  

I lowered my posture and made eye contact with Speranza, who was anxious. 

“Speranza darling, I’ll be back soon. Can you stay with Ryan for a while?” 

“…..”  

Ryan also added something to reassure Speranza.  

“Don’t worry Speranza, Sihyeon will come to pick you up soon. In the meantime, can you stay with me for a while? You can eat delicious snacks, and there are many interesting toys…” 

“…really?” 

Speranza showed interest in snacks and toys. 

“Of course! If you wait a little longer, they’ll bring it to you.” 

RUSH! 

As Marlene beckoned, quick-witted servants quickly jumped out of the room. 

Probably went out to find things to attract Speranza’s attention.  

Speranza, who hesitated for a while, nodded with difficulty. 

“Un… I’ll wait for Papa here.”  

“Thank you so much, dear! I’ll be back soon, so please wait a little bit.” 

“Un…” 

I gave a big hug one last time and left Speranza with Ryan. 

“Please follow me. I’ll take you to where the Great Lord is.”  

Marlene took the lead, and the rest of the knights walked out of the hallway in the form of surrounding us.  

Except for Kaneff, who looked bored, the rest of the member’s faces were filled with tension. 

I didn’t know how long we walked, but after a while, I stopped in front of a more splendidly decorated door than any other door I had ever seen inside the Castle. 

Even though I was standing outside the door, I could already feel a lot of pressure from the inside. 

Lia spoke to me, who was nervous. 

“Sihyeon, are you very nervous?” 

“Huh… Yes, a little. Is there anything I should be careful about?”

“Nothing special. Lord doesn’t think the formalities are important. You don’t have to worry too much.”  

“That’s right. You just have to follow what I do next to me.”  

“Be careful! If you do something wrong, you’ll either be hanged or  burned alive.” 

“…” 

I tried to ignore the last person’s annoying words and pulled myself together.  

The knights came forward and began to open the door carefully.

The door opened and the inside of the Throne room became visible.  

Knights in colorful armor were lined up on both sides, and red carpets were spread out in the middle of the room. 

“Please enter.” 

At Marlene’s word, we stepped inside the Throne room. 

At the end of the red carpet, I could see the splendid throne and the image of the Demon Lord.
