"Your excellency, if I may ask…"
Taking a knee on the ground before Duke Azonech, the demon paused halfway through his sentence, waiting for the Duke's confirmation.
He got it soon enough.
"...You may ask."
"Thank you."
The servant thanked the Duke. Secretly, he tried his best to stop himself from smiling.
'As expected of the Duke, he does not suspect anything.'
In reality, he wasn't merely asking out of curiosity. He was asking so that he could report what was going to the other Duke.
It was a secret order that he had received before he had left.
By doing this, he was treading a thin line, but as soon as he remembered the rewards promised to him by the other Duke, all of his fear dissipated.
It was simply too tempting.
With his head lowered, he proceeded to ask something that he had been curious about.
"Why did you tell that human to keep the Overlord alive?"
