Chapter 490.1

In the Imperial Capital (4)

At the airship.

After following Yuki and the others around the capital, the King of the Demon Realm, Finar, had run out of time, so he left them to start his official work, which was to survey the ruins, and was about to move towards the airship docks.

Originally, investigating ruins was not his job, but due to information brought to him by Shen, the former emperor Shendra, he decided to take the job and visited the Rogard Empire after giving up his work in the Demon Realm.

According to Shen, the ruins were apparently used as an archive, and there was a high possibility that very valuable information, which could not be disclosed to the public, was lying there.

Moreover, it was a site where a heavy defense mechanism was set up that was not found anywhere else.

The current emperor of the Rogard Empire was Yuki, but Finar, as one in charge of the majority of the actual office matters, had to decide what to do with the information.

Well, in addition to the Demon Lord Yuki, or rather the Demon Emperor Yuki, there was also the Spirit King Yg-Drazil, which was why he decided to put that important official business on the back burner and enjoyed sightseeing in the imperial capital.

“Haah…it was quite a good experience, I guess.”

Finar laughed to himself as he looked out the window of the airship.

The Demon King Finar was a ruler. A ruler who governed the vast territory known as the Demon Realm, and was the head of the Demon Tribe, which consisted of a motley assortment of species.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was the most influential King on the continent at present, and among the Demon Kings of the past, there was no King who had as much say over other countries as he did.

He was the first King who ruled with knowledge in the Demon Realm, where power was everything, and by doing so, he made further development of the Demon Realm, making the toughness of the Demon race known to the world more than ever before.

Even the demon race that believed in power could not help but recognize his skill, and he made the people of the demon realm realize that the current Demon King, was the most ineffectual King of all time, and could be a king of the demon race even without absolute power.

Yes, Finar showed his overwhelming ability to the extent that he changed the values of the demon race.

He was that outstanding.

Therefore, he was rarely able to act freely when he was out.

Finar had no relatives, so he did not have to make any special time to spend with his family.

That was how kings were supposed to be.

All powers came at a price.

Whether it was power in the physical sense or power in the sense of authority, it was always the same.

As the ruler of the demon world, it was natural for him not to have freedom in his daily life, and in fact, he had a mentality that did not make him feel any concern about it.

But today’s time spent as Yuki’s friend was truly enjoyable for him.

Yuki’s family only viewed him as a friend of their husband, a friend of their brother, or a friend of their Lord. There was no strange respect mixed in.

It was refreshing, and more comfortable and enjoyable than he had expected.

–Yuki was a good friend.

He had several categories of friends, but Yuki was one among them that he could spend time with on an equal footing.

Yuki was now equal in power and had as much influence as Finar, but he himself said that he found all these governing matters troublesome.

If he said that he found it troublesome, then he meant it. He was never someone who would mince his words. If he was going to do something, then he would do it, always in a direct manner.

If someone asked Yuki why he would do so, he would simply answer, “Because I am a Demon Lord!!” oftentimes, but that was probably just a part of his personality in general.

Seeing him and his family, it occurred to Finar that it might be fun if he had a companion and a family to go out with.

“Hahahaha, when I get back home, I should seriously try to arrange a blind date.”

The same topic had come up once before in the elven village, and at that time, the vassals were interested in the matter.

Finar had already lived for 200 years. Even for someone from the demon race with a long life span, he had spent so much time as a single man that he should have found a partner by now.

It would be a good time to seriously look for a partner.
