"My magic was sealed by him. He then made a move on me and raped me. Forced me to wear embarrassing dresses in front of other demons!" She gritted her teeth as she said that.
There was absolutely no change on Saito's face. It was calm as a serene lake. He wasn't surprised that this happened. If it hadn't happened, he would have been more surprised.
Saito was thinking seriously 'So… Not only is he powerful. He is also confident and decisive and acts sooner rather than later. He also isn't foolish enough to place himself at a disadvantage unless he stands a good chance of winning.'
'Naomi… If what she said before her death was true, then her true body must be somewhere else. She said that the attack on the Elf Kingdom was going to after 6 months, but I should be ready. Ready after 3 months… And depending on the conditions, this Alvaneth could even ally himself with Naomi. I will have to be prepared.' With a grim face, Saito thought this.
"After we heard the information that Demon Lord Tarodoch was moving towards the territory of the Demon Lord Azaroth. He made a force of the 10 strongest men from his kingdom, including myself. All of us attacked the Demon Lord Azaroth and Demon Lord Bakaul while the two were engaged in fierce combat. He ordered me to fight the two of them. With no choice, I battled against the two of them." Helena said as she clearly remembered those scenes.
She took a pause for some time before she continued, "I still don't understand why but he sent his Sword Qi within the western side of the forest. And somewhat dissatisfied later. He jumped within the forest and moved away from the place I was fighting. After I discovered that he was more than 100 miles apart from me. I immediately ran away…"
"I see…" Saito indifferently says before he starts thinking. He figured that this must be the time he met up with Alvaneth. He was probably chasing after Naomi.
Saito then starts speaking, "When I met Alvaneth, it must have been at around this time. As soon as he saw me, he looked incredibly angered. I don't believe I have met him before so I don't understand just why he was so enraged when he looked at me."
"I had destroyed one of my enemies, so I was in a rather good mood. I tried convincing him, but he didn't listen to me. And because of underestimating him, he managed to inflict this heavy injury. Since he is keen on being my enemy… I will be sure to eliminate him." Saito said with a decisive and cold voice.
Even though Saito had said that he forced Alvaneth to run away. She still found it incredibly hard to believe. But when she heard his final and cold words of killing Alvaneth, she felt as if a heavy burden was lifted from her shoulders.
Saito then asked her, "What do you wish to do right now?"
Helena hesitated for some time before she stared at Saito and understood that he wasn't an enemy. Even though she much disliked him, but his ability was out of the question. Besides, it wasn't like she had a plan.
"I simply planned to go to the Human Kingdom. I have heard about the power of the Emperor of humans. It's rumored that his power rivals that of gods. Perhaps, that's the only place where Alvaneth won't dare to come after me." Helena informed Saito about the place where she planned to go.
Snickering at her words, Saito confidently said to her, "A month! A month or even less. That's the amount of time it would take for Alvaneth to take you back with him if you go there."
"What!? How can he dare to act repentant in the Area under Humans?" She immediately shouted. Though anger was written on her face, now, she was also slightly scared of what Saito said.
With a serious expression, Saito stared at her, "Are you really that dense?" He also let out a sigh before saying, "Who do you think you are? Are you his daughter or his daughter's friend? Why would he want to protect you?"
He further explained, "If you go into the Human Kingdom. Even if your identity as a demon is revealed. The Emperor would not be willing to make a move against you unless you specifically harm the interests of the Kingdom. However, it would be a different matter if Alvaneth specifically targets you. If it is in the interests of the Kingdom, the Emperor will also not appear to save you. Now tell me, do you think that Alvaneth is dumb enough to involve other people from the Vermillion Kingdom?"
"No… But… Where should I go then?" At this time, she finally had to think about the worst possibility that could happen to her. In fact, hearing it from Saito's mouth, she felt as if this was the only thing that would happen. It was almost as if he could see the future.
Obviously, that was her own delusion. Many other possibilities could happen, and one of them was that Alvaneth wouldn't even pursue her.
In fact, Saito imagined that the reason Alvaneth wanted her wasn't for her power but solely for her beauty. If he wanted her for power, then he wouldn't have kept her magic sealed for almost an entire month. For a magic user, that's like cutting off one of their senses. It gets difficult for them the next time they use their magic after all.
He was probably going to find another woman right now. However, he couldn't say that to Helena. He wanted her to fall into this absolute despair.
In this state, she wouldn't know where to go and what to do. Every path in front of her resulted in utter despair. This is what he wanted to make her think.
"I believe I haven't introduced myself yet. I am Hero Axel of the Vermillion Kingdom. It's secret information for now, but I am also the son-in-law of the current Emperor." Saito said with a smile.
It took her some minutes to fully register the information she had received. She immediately shouted as soon as she regained her consciousness, "SON-IN-LAW!"
Saito resisted the urge to smack her head and said with a twitching smile, "Can you lower your voice, or do you not understand the meaning of secret?"
Helena immediately sealed her mouth. She couldn't help but stare at Saito from top to bottom once again. Saito wore his shirt.
There was another question that troubled her, "Wait for a second, you are a hero? Why do you have a demon's presence then?"
"That's one of my powers. You don't need to know anything more than that." With an indifferent look, Saito gazed at her.
He then said, "Now, let's discuss the main matter. You want a place where Alvaneth can't reach you, right? I can provide you with such a place."
"Really!" Those words truly excited her that Helena forgot to maintain her composure for a moment.
Saito nodded and spoke with a cold voice, "Naturally, there will be a price to pay."
"What will it be?" Helena was nervous right now. She didn't know what to do. As far as she was concerned, he was the only one who could save her right now. What if he asked for anything unreasonable?
However, her worries were unnecessary as Saito started speaking, "The place where you will stay will be the Arctic Hills. I believe you are familiar with them?"
Helena nodded her head and started speaking, "Arctic Hills… The hills where the demons reside. It is a Demon Territory because it is in the extreme north and surrounded by Human territories. Even though the Humans possess great advantage and can take the territory any time they want, they have never made a move against this territory."
"Heh… For a Demon Lord living in the south, you sure know a lot. Why do you think the humans never tried to capture this demon territory?" Saito asks her with a smile.
She put her hand under her chin and said, "Maybe it's because of some Guardian Spirit? It is rare for a territory to be protected by a powerful Guardian but if that is the case then it would explain the reason why the humans never attacked this territory."
"Guardian heh…!" Saito remembered his conversation with the Emperor. The fact that Rita was the daughter of a Guardian. And, that the Guardian from that crown would try to take over Rita's mind as it did with her mother.
He calmed down immediately and Helena didn't detect anything. Saito shook his head and replied to her, "No… That area is not protected by a powerful guardian.. The reason why it hasn't been captured is that the Emperor wants these demons to give birth to more demons."
