The Demon King Douglas was crossing the Kingdom of Skye with his colleague on his shoulders.


    In a little while, they would be able to return by the transfer of their colleague, the Demon King Tomoya Endo, who was coming to pick them up.


    His steps were light as he walked to his destination.


    Zoe, the vampire knight who has come to pick him up, is walking a step behind Douglas with a disgruntled look on her face.


    Even without looking back, Douglas could tell that Zoe was not happy.


    （Well, understandably so.)


    Zoey was once a servant of the demon king Lepsey.


    She was a diligent and serious girl who served as a maid for Lepsy''s wife, but when she almost died from an epidemic, she escaped death by turning into a vampire.


    From then on, Zoey became more loyal to Lepsey and his family than ever before.


    However, a few years later, Lepsey lost his wife and children and went berserk. Zoey followed him and even destroyed the human kingdom.


    However, Zoe was not so mad with rage that she lost her reason like Lepsy. Of course, her anger toward humans was equal to that of her master, but after a few years of rage, Zoey was beginning to regain her composure.


    She was not over her grief at the loss of her master, but her reason told her that she would not want this.


    After that, Zoe continued to pray on Lepsy''s behalf for his wife and children.


    After a dozen years of prayer, she was told that Lepsy had been defeated and sealed.


    He tried to help her, but was stopped by the demon lord Vivian Claxtons, who learned of Lepsy''s true wish and promised not to touch her.


    She then becomes a subordinate of Vivian and is knighted in the land of night. She spends her days working as a knight, praying for the repose of her late master''s soul and the peace of her Lord.


    Because of Zoe''s attachment to Lepsy and her family, she must have feelings for a boy named Samuel Scheidt.


    Douglas, too, was upset when Zoe suddenly set on Sam.


    He was thankful for Daphne''s appearance, as he could not stop the girl, who was <<> in terms of speed alone.


    "Master Douglas seems to be in a good mood."


    Suddenly, a voice arrives from behind Douglas, sounding like a bell in a bad mood.


    Douglas turned around and nodded.


    "Sam was a good guy, you know."


    "But he''s not someone that Douglas or Evangeline would care about. They didn''t even react to my movements."


    "Even I can''t handle your speed. I don''t think it''s too much to ask of Sam.


    "Master Lepsey would have had no problem with that."


    Don''t put him and Sam together.


    "But if it was that kid who beat Master Lepsey, I have my doubts about his ability at that level."


    "Don''t say that. He is a child who has lived only fourteen years as a human being, yet he is capable of rivaling, or even surpassing, us demons.


    "However, he is not a quasi-demon king. No, at best, he''s on par with a knighthood.


    "You know, that means he''s strong."


    I''m not even close to Master Lepsey.


    "You''re comparing the wrong person. I''m not even close to Lepsey.


    Zoe''s standard seems to be Repsie. I feel sorry for Sam who is being compared.


    Sam is reasonably strong, including his skills, but it seems difficult to convey that to the snickering Zoey.


    "Compared to that kid, I''m much more convinced by that master who showed up later."


    "I didn''t get a good look at him, but I could sense his presence from a distance. I could sense little magic, but my instincts as a warrior told me. Strong."


    I agree. I am surprised that there were so many of them among humans. That''s why it''s such a shame.


    Douglas nodded in agreement with Zoe''s words.


    "Absolutely. From the looks of it, they won''t last another month."
