Hyaku ma no Omo - Chapter 28

The Academic and Social Town Lilium managed to do it, till the end.
She controlled three flame horses, day in and day out and somehow managed to get past the first, small town and finally get all the Demon Lords to the large city state of theDuchy of Neuce Gauss.

It’s the first time in my life, that I’ve been this worn out

With a tone filled with a sense of achievement, a smile of satisfaction on her face, Lilium collapsed inside the carriage when they reached the gates of the city.

She probably relaxed because she felt relieved.
Merea caught her just before she fell and carried her.
The other Demon Lords also looked over at her with eyes filled with worry but Lilium herself, while completely exhausted, kept saying, I’m fine, I’m fine with a light smile on her face.

When they saw that, all the other Demon Lords looked at her and,

Thank you

Said that and decided to let Merea take care of her.
While laughing slightly, Lilium, who was in Merea’s arms, breathed deeply.

Princess carry! If it wasn’t such a situation, I might have enjoyed it some more.though, if it wasn’t such a situation, I wouldn’t have been carried like this huh

While laughing happily, Lilium finally closed her eyes.
She seemed to have fallen asleep to let her tired body rest.

Before they reached theDuchy of Neuce Gauss, they had already divided the work each one of them had to accomplish.
They didn’t have much time.

Although they had been conscious of not letting anyone trace their path but, since they had tried to run away as fast as possible, they might have been careless.
There was also the fact that they horses pulling their carriages were flame horses and although, they had taken measures to make sure it wouldn’t be seen by others, there was a limit to it.

Even then, they were able to reach theDuchy of Neuce Gaussbefore Mzeg or the other countries.

Well then, everyone please go get whatever has been assigned to you. I’ll go get our transport, said Shaw to the other Demon Lords.

One hour. Please gather at the east gate of this town in one hour

Based on the information they had, the territory of the Duchy of Neuce Gauss was quite wide.
It was a nation that was under the joint rule of the family of Duke Neuce as well as Duke Gauss and the emphasis on its culture was put towards the development of academics and a complete social experience.

Since the duke’s house was governing the territory, there were, of course, the existence of nobles. However, since the nation, in itself, was quite rich, there wasn’t that much of a disparity between the classes.

Taking the social norm called Noblesse Oblige[1] seriously, it was said that the nobles’ administration properly contributed to the development of the country.

In any case, the Duchy of Neuce Gauss was large enough for 22 Demon Lords to easily get mixed in.

One hour, quite the difficult deadline you’ve set for us

TheFist EmperorSalman shrugged with a bitter smile.
As usual, the twins were riding on his shoulders as if that was absolutely normal, treating the twins as if they were part of his equipment.

Riding on his shoulders, the silver-blue haired twins, while shrieking with delight, played with his sand coloured hair.

If we don’t make it, we’ll take you with us! Flat on ice!

Stop with that. Sounds like my butt would hurt!

They seemed to have, somehow, understood that it was a pressing situation.

Since the girls were extremely innocent, during the trip, the other Demon Lords were also extremely affectionate with them. However, during this trip to the town, where everyone would move separately, they stuck to Salman who they seemed to be emotionally attached to.

Child abduction
Unfair
Do you feel their butts on your shoulders? You enjoying it?

O, oi! Stop saying things that could be taken the wrong way!!

Replied Salman to the many voices filled with a deep grudge.

sheesh. Anyway, Let’s get this over with

Saying so, Salman ran off quickly.
With both girls on his shoulders, even then he was able to run at quite the speed.
He brought out a power that wouldn’t shame the title ofFist Emperor.

Afterwards, one after the other, the Demon Lords formed groups and disappeared into the hustle bustle of the Duchy of Neuce Gauss.

In the end, the ones left behind were, Merea, theFlame EmperorLilium on his back, theSword EmperorElma, theAlchemy KingShaw, theEmperor of ViolenceMarisa and theDevilAiz, the six of them.
