74.THE GLORY OF THE PROVISIONAL DEMON LORDCHARLOTTE

There was a rumor of the incident at Derufoi spreading.

The demons general understanding of the incident became that [Charlottes escort squad was annihilated when protecting her from the spiritualists. And then, risking their life, Leivein Adlar and Riku Barusak went to save her, and were also able to uncover a traitor hiding in the Demon Lord army]. By summarizing it like that, it would be more or less correct. However, this had the most important part of it excluded.

Yes, that was

Charlotte-sama has taken a liking to Rook Barusak?

Someones voice thoroughly reverberated.

Making the meeting dead silent, everybody became quiet. Without even needing to glance at her surroundings, Riku had the feeling she already knew the expressions of the demons gathered at the meeting.

The name of Rook Barusak was well know even at the Demon Lord army.

It was a distinguishing young spiritualist that appeared at the recent years, and had got several accomplishments at the battlefield. It was possible to point out this recent war in which Zerriks second division was destroyed. After this happened, if thinking about the future of the demons, it was inevitable that it was necessary to pluck out the sprouts of Rooks talent before it blossomed.

However, not only had the provisional demon lord that was supposed to have declared the need for Rooks death and have him killed, not only had she fallen in love with the person himself and let her exceptional escort squad be annihilated, but she ended up getting captured by the spiritualists on top of all that. Such scandal had no comparison. Because of that, Keity and others had controlled the information regarding this event, but with Rikus exposure of it, it became meaningless.

Among the demons, an agitation was spreading to a scale that didnt happen until now.

Is That true, Charlotte-sama?

One of the demons timidly asked Charlotte.

To such question, Charlotte didnt answer anything. With a face slightly pale, she weakly shook her head. Seeing Charlotte acting like that, astonished, Riku thought [How stupid]. If she resolutely denied it, the situation would have become more or less better. However, in a stupidly honest way, Charlotte became shaken.

It was as if she didnt expect that the truth would be exposed here.

Is.. it the truth? Could it be that Charlotte-sama had taken a liking to Rook Barusak?

I-its a lie. Dont let her trick you. This is something Riku Barusak is making up!

Charlotte had finally came back to herself. Signs of her agitation still remained, but somehow she was able to raise her voice, trying to deny the accusations. However, right now Even if Charlotte denied the reality of her [having fallen in love with Rook], there was no way she could change the situation.

The eyes of more than half of the demons had already been dyed with suspicion of Charlotte. Noticing that the complexion in the eyes of the demons changed, Keity hurriedly spoke.

You people, there is no way Charlotte-sama would have a crush on the likes of spiritua

Be silent, !!

What had interrupted Keity was a crude voice. Interrupting her objection, Rudogar Gortoberuk stood up. He had had a huge body that would s. His figure was as if a mountain had moved. (TL note: Here, it is written ->
