Chapter 323: Lolth’s "Pride"

Perched on the Demon King’s shoulder was a strange crow, which was the head of the castle and one of the Demon King’s trusted subordinates, Little Devil Doyle Candice.

She used a transformation magic potion to take on the shape of this bird, which was a very clever disguise.

After all, the transformation magic potion Doyle Candice used is not ordinary; it is mixed with the highest quality magical potion materials.

Even if she flew into Eden Palace now, she would not trigger the alarms in the Holy Capital of The Church of Light!

Unless she directly encounters a bishop or Grand Knight, she is confident she won’t be exposed!

However, since Lady Lolth has seen through even the disguise of the Lord of the Demon King, she would surely see through my disguise at a glance.

"As expected of Master Lolth," she said on the Demon King’s shoulder, agreeing with the Demon King, "And I always feel like what Master Lolth just said seems to hold a deeper meaning."

Doyle thought and spoke.

The Demon King, upon hearing Doyle’s words, nodded gently.

"Your guess is not wrong, Lady Doyle…"

The Demon King said this and began to explain to Doyle.

"At first, when Dear Lolth told me she was the ‘lord’ here, she was actually expressing a hidden discontent – ‘Even though you are the Demon King, this is already my territory’ – Dear Lolth was emphasizing this!"

"To be honest, only Dear Lolth in the whole Demon Army would dare to speak to me like this… That is what I admire the most!"

The Demon King said this and chuckled softly.

"I guess she might feel that I quietly coming here shows a little lack of trust in her… And it is true, Dear Lolth manages her territory so well and has helped me many times. It really isn’t right that I come to her land without even saying a word."

Hearing this, Doyle helped the Lord of the Demon King smooth things over.

"I think Master Lolth probably didn’t care too much about this matter!"

"That might be true, but I still need to give Dear Lolth some compensation. Doyle, remember to remind me to promote Lolth when we return to Demon King Castle… If I can’t upgrade her position for now, let’s raise her rank and title instead," the Demon King said while waving her hand, "After all, Dear Lolth seems to be very ‘generous’— after emphasizing her noble status, she immediately said she would cooperate with me."

At this point, the Demon King made a face.

"As the Demon King, I can’t appear too stingy."

Hearing this, Doyle nodded.

"Lord of the Demon King, you are indeed very generous; it’s just that Master Lolth misunderstood this time!"

She said this and continued to ask, "But I still don’t understand… Why did Lady Lolth suddenly mention a ‘surprise’ in the central square?"

The Demon King and Doyle have been wandering around Hillenbrand Town for a while and have learned that there seems to be a costume competition happening in the central square.

However, these two demons are clearly not very interested in the event, so they have no plans to go there for the moment.

When Doyle Candice asked this, the Demon King thought for a moment and then gave an answer.

"This might be the reason why Dear Lolth is a bit ‘unhappy’ with my unexpected arrival; with Dear Lolth’s intelligence, she may not completely misunderstand my intentions but rather thinks my timing is a bit unfortunate or perhaps… too clever."

As the Demon King said this, Doyle, who had transformed into a crow, showed a hint of understanding on her face.

"Are you saying that today’s ‘event’ in Hillenbrand Town has a deeper meaning arranged by Master Lolth?"

Doyle Candice asked this, and the Demon King gently nodded.

"That’s right, dear Doyle; Dear Lolth probably had some plans to present a ‘surprise’ to me after everything was completed, just like what happened with the New West Line before."

The Demon King paused slightly and continued, "However, because I arrived early, this unfinished matter had to be brought to my attention in advance… Dear Lolth must be feeling a little displeased because of this, as a key plan was disrupted."

"A ‘Demon King’ has appeared as a variable, which forces Dear Lolth to change her plans," the Demon King sighed and said, "If I were in Dear Lolth’s place, I might feel unhappy, too."

"I see, then will you help Master Lolth soon? Since this matter is difficult for Master Lolth, perhaps your involvement could make it easier!"

Doyle Candice said again.

"Doyle, you still don’t understand Dear Lolth very well… Have you ever thought about why Dear Lolth hasn’t been willing to proactively ask for a promotion or rewards for so long? She has always been low-key in the Demon Army, even hiding her own strength?"

The Demon King looked at Doyle and asked.

"I don’t know, but perhaps it is because… of Master Lolth’s humility?"

Doyle answered tentatively.

"It is humility, but not just humility," the Demon King replied seriously, "Dear Lolth comes from the Succubus clan and has a prestigious background… So besides humility, she also has a kind of ‘pride’ within her!"

"This pride determines her style of acting—she rarely takes action, but when she does, it is impressive. It also explains why she has been unwilling to show her strength and establish achievements openly!"

"Because it didn’t mean anything to Dear Lolth…"

"So, if I help Dear Lolth without her asking, it will only make her more unhappy!"

As the Demon King said this, Doyle showed a look of understanding.

"I understand, my lord!"

At the same time, she sighed in her heart once more.

Indeed, only the Lord of the Demon King could truly understand Master Lolth!

And she didn’t know that if Lolth had heard the Demon King’s words, this succubus would have been so angry she would have spat blood and would have tried her best to argue to the Demon King that she was just lazy.

But sadly, Lolth had already walked far away.

"So, Lord of the Demon King, what should we do now?"

Doyle watched as Lolth walked away and asked the Demon King.

"Of course we should go to the center square as Dear Lolth said," the Demon King’s tone was relaxed but filled with anticipation, "Since Dear Lolth just mentioned it, it shows that although my arrival affected her, everything is still under control."

"Understood, Lord of the Demon King… Honestly, I’m a bit excited too!"

Doyle Candice was also affected and said happily.

After all, in terms of "surprises," it seems that Lady Lolth has never disappointed anyone!
