Demon Emperors
Ch.63 - Negotiation

Until a while later, now all the people of Xavier kingdom had entered the gate and passed through the great wall of Quiet Night kingdom.

They were all startled by the rapturous welcome that was evident in the eyes of the warrior as well as the king of Lycan, who was, the welcome was a crowd of 200,000 Quiet Night royal warriors while giving him a respectful attitude that was fixed on the warrior as well as the king of Xavier kingdom.

The line is split into two parts, the right side and the left side like to form a road that leads directly to the palace.

“Welcome to the kingdom of Quiet Night, King Lycan…” Said the Ugly Girl as she handed one of her hands to lead Lycan down from the horse carriage and drove him to Cyrus who was waiting in front of the main door of the palace.

“Thank you..” replied Lycan who was tempted to see the face of a beautiful demon figure who was filing a wrist to him.

Previously Ugly Girl ordered Cyrus to serve Lycan directly well, to be tempted by sweet seduction and also beautiful face owned Ugly Girl.

Not only Lycan who is the only human being tempted by the beauty of Ugly Girl, but all the royal soldiers put on a perverted look to see a beautiful demon figure in front of his king.

In the midst of the human's teasing incident, the soldiers of Quiet Night kingdom still gave off a terrifying aura like before, but their naked eye attention was never off the face of Ugly Girls.

This gives an example that human passions are higher in price than the terrible Aura that is clearly threatening them.

This was all Cyrus had carefully planned out, not because he had the intention of making peace with humanity completely, but Cyrus wanted to incite Lycan and make use of the resources that the Xavier kingdom had in the long run.

From a distance Cyrus was smiling looking at the scene he saw as he said inwardly, “Basic, Foolish man!”

Behind Cyrus's sweet smile he was actually holding back a laugh, he tried his hardest to hold back the laughter of the foolish behavior of the humans before him, he held it back because he did not want his plan to fail just because of this small problem.

Now Lycan and all his soldiers are only a few meters away from Cyrus, then Cyrus welcomes him still with a fake sweet smile.

“Welcome to the kingdom of Quiet Night.

“Thank you for your welcome, young man.” Lycan answered while occasionally looking into the royal palace and also occasionally glanced at Eliza who was standing behind Cyrus with her sharp gaze.

Lycan's heart intent glanced at the royal palace room was to search for the demon king of Quiet Night kingdom, he currently did not know that the young demon before him was the demon king of Quiet Night kingdom.

Lycan's disrespect upset Cyrus' heart, but he tried to hold it in while saying inwardly, “Wait until the time comes, weak man!”.

Cyrus smiled at Lycan until a few breaths, then he said, “Come on, we will listen to your story and find a solution in my palace.”.

Lycan was surprised to hear the words of the young demon in front of him, “Alright.” His words put on a look of confusion and also curious, face, because the young demon in front of him allowed himself to enter and say ‘Istanaku’ calmly without fearing the slightest word.

Now Lycan and his soldiers enter the palace and Cyrus leads them to a large and luxurious room containing a long circular table, at first glance like a meeting room and a meeting of important people.

Now that they were in the room, only the important people and the trust of both parties entered the room.

From Quiet Night kingdom only Cyrus, Eliza, Ugly Girl, Old Lady only. As for Xavier's kingdom were Lycan, Albert and the three rank soldiers who accompanied him in the meeting room.

After everyone sat quietly in the place the waiter had prepared, Cyrus finally started the topic.

“Alright, I don't like pleasantries. I'll get straight to the point.” Cyrus said casually but in an elegant and respectable style.

“Wait, shouldn't we wait for the venerable demon lord to come first?” Albert said a little quickly, he and the rest of the humans at this time did not realize that Cyrus was his demon king.

At once all the humans put on shocked faces, they did not expect that under the demon who looked so young it was the Demon King of a kingdom that looked so powerful.

With quick reflexes Lycan apologized for his safety as well as his subordinates, “M-forgive us, Your Excellency.” He said in a frightened tone while lowering his head.

Lycan willingly bowed his head and dropped his pride before fighting in terms of negotiations, because he realized it was better to duck under a creature stronger than him than to lose his life.

This event was a golden opportunity for Cyrus, because with this the Quiet Night kingdom would gain a greater advantage than Cyrus had anticipated.

“Are you a stupid king? You should have understood the rules of this world, the consequences of insulting creatures bearing the title of king.” Cyrus said in a flat tone without any expression.

Lycan went silent without a word, he understood what he meant about the consequences.

If an ordinary being dares to insult the king, the punishment is death. Whereas if a king insulted the king, there would be a major war between the two kingdoms, unless the suspect apologized by providing a compensation.

Those humans were shivering in fear, let alone thinking about war, successfully escaping the Quiet Night kingdom alone was already impossible.

The atmosphere became awkward and Lycan thought hard about what he deserved to give Cyrus as a sign of his apology.

While Albert can only regret himself for saying a spicy sentence before the king, “I'm sorry, king..if only I didn't say like that surely nothing like this will happen.”  He said in his heart while occasionally looking at Lycan.

The awkward atmosphere continued, until Cyrus pretended to yawn while saying. “Hooaa... You have 1 minute to think, king Lycan. I behead your subordinates or war!” He said in a casual style while taking out Soul Eater from inside Qwerty's storage bag, then stuck the dagger onto the table.

During the meeting room, Cyrus showed only a very calm face and cold eyes, as if everything was fine.

Hearing his life threatened made Albert shiver in fear. After a few breaths, Lycan offered some of his royal wealth to Cyrus.

“A-I will give 50% of my royal wealth, but do not kill him.” Lycan said hesitantly while pointing at Albert who was shivering in fear.

“Soul Eater, go..”.

*Sringgg.. Jlepp…*

[Getting 1 Demon Soul.]

[Getting 194 Honor Points.]

The shrill sound of a black dagger flew by itself very quickly and pierced through Albert's heart in place.

All the people of Xavier kingdom who were there were surprised to glare, seeing one of them die in a state of sitting with a heart that was detached from his body.

Lycan went silent without a word and put on a panicked look while opening his eyes wide, he did not expect that his confidant died right in front of him.

At the same time as Lycan's expression, a loud voice suddenly came out of Cyrus' mouth.

“How dare you insult me with such a small amount!? You think my kingdom is poor!?”
