The slashing stopped just before Louise's head was cut off.

"-Are you a spy?"

"What do you think?"

Sam asked in a calm voice, and Louise looked troubled.

She did not intend to take his life without question, but the fact that she seemed unconcerned when confronted with a blade that could easily reap a life was probably due to the fact that she was a seasoned adventurer.

"Please choose your words carefully. Worst case scenario, I have to kill you even if Cedric-sama hates me."

"I was supposed to tell Vivienne-sama if there was any change in the Demon Lord Lepsy."

What do you mean, "change"?

"Well?"

"Yes."

"That's all they told me. Will the demon king who has been sealed up be unleashed, or is there something else going on? In any case, if the name of the Demon King, who is a hidden existence, is revealed, I will tell Vivian-sama, that was my only duty.

Sam brought his sword down from Louise's neck.

"Are you sure?"

"Not that that's enough to call me a spy. People with ties to other countries are probably leaking more information than we are. But I have a question. How did you get acquainted with the Demon King Vivian?

It is an unspoken rule, or rather a common story from the old days, that it is not unusual for people working in the royal palace or nobles to have contacts with other countries.

It does not mean that they are traitors or traitors, but they are related by marriage or some other relationship, and information is often passed on to other countries without malicious intent. On the other hand, information from other countries may come to the Kingdom of Skye.

In this sense, it is not enough to tell people about the existence of leprosy if it is revealed.

Rather, I am more concerned about how they met the Demon King Vivian.

"I said earlier that I was tired of everything, but there is more to the story. I couldn't give up, I lived a life without any alternatives, and when I was betrayed and almost died in the territory of the demon tribe by a human I thought was my friend - for the first time, I wanted to live. Then Vivian appeared."

Why, the Demon King?

"I had my doubts too, so I asked him, and he said he heard a strong inner voice."

Louise, whose life was saved by the Demon King Vivian, wished to return the favor.

At first, the Demon King refused that he had done nothing of importance, but Louise pushed him away and asked him for information about her friend who was imprisoned in the Sky Kingdom.

Louise then decided to be scouted by the Sky Kingdom and succeeded in getting into the royal palace.

"I wanted to repay my debt to Vivienne. I wanted to repay her for the first time for being so kind to me without reward. But something unexpected happened."

Working quietly as a maid, Louise spent her time without getting any particular information about the Demon King Lepsy.

One day, because of her skill, she became Cedric's personal maid as well as his bodyguard.

She must have been serious by nature. Louise worked hard for Cédric. Cédric says that she became like a sister to him.

"I adored Cedric, who adored me with all his innocence. I also had the pleasure of working with him for the first time."

To be honest, Louise had not forgotten her debt to Vivien, but she wanted to live her life without fulfilling her role.

To report something to Vivian was to betray Cedric.

But he never heard the name of Lepsy.

Louise was promoted from the prince's maid to head maid and Cédric grew up to be the next king.

They say that they had been thinking that nothing would ever happen to them again.

However, a big change came.

Although only a few people knew about it, the Demon King Lepsy was released and died.

The information about the Demon Lord Lepssy was passed on to Louise.

Just when Louise was ready to think that her comfortable life had come to an end, she is surprised to find that Cedric has asked her to marry him.

"I was aware of your feelings, but I could not accept them. We are far apart in age and in different positions. Above all, I am a subordinate of the Demon Lord Vivian.

"Hmm. Are you saying that you would not have said no if you were not under the command of the Demon King?"

"I don't know. I never thought about it."

Once alerted by Louise, she says that she has not yet reported to the Demon Lord Vivian or done anything.

There has been no contact or communication from Vivienne's side, and she was really just working as a maid.

(It sounds like she's using the fact that she works for the Demon Lord as a reason for refusing.)

"Well, here's the deal. I'll meet with the Demon King Vivian next time, and I'll ask him to set you free, Louise."

"That's not true. I am free. I wanted to help Master Vivian myself.

"...... what should I do, maybe I should talk to the old lady about it once."

I already told you.

"What?"

"I heard that Mr. Scheidt is meeting with Vivienne. Then my true identity will be revealed sooner or later. I thought I would come clean before then."

"Are you planning to leave the palace, by any chance?"

Sam said he had a guess,

"--Yes."

Louise nodded quietly.

However, her face looked as if she was about to cry.
