7th Demon Prince Jilbagias' Chronicle of Demon Kingdom Toppling

Chapter 83: Youngest Brother And The Aftermath of THAT Incident

Youngest Brother And The Aftermath of THAT Incident

The room in the residential area of the northwest side of the Demon King's castle

It was a room with a calming, blue tone as its basic color.

A giant map of the territory of the Demon Kingdom and tapestry in uniformed, blue color was hung along the wall. Gorgeous chandelier-According to the Demon race's standard- made from the bones of a giant carnivorous monster studded with blue gems hung on the ceiling. The bookshelves containing various kinds of books such as animal husbandry, agriculture, or geopolitics were lined up neatly in accordance to genre and title.

As if to express the personality of its' owner, the room was akin to the ultimate combination between practicality and elegance from the interior until the location of the most simple instrument.

The owner of that room, the 1st Demon King's child, Aoigias was currently enjoying his tea time.

Yup, nothing beats some relaxing tea time

The fragrance caffee. Aiogias preferred it black, without milk.

After he was done with his morning routine, he washed of his sweat by taking a bath, this moment was one of his respites before he moves on to self-study

And the caffee was the perfect drink for such a moment. It has a sharp and unique aroma and made him feel clear-headed with its bitter taste, that's why it became his favorite drink.

He then looked casually at the window as he was about to drink his caffee. The position of the castle allowed him to have a clear view of the ground and the nightscape of the castle town, and the mountain range that was towering to the sky.

On the other side of that mountain range was the old home of the demon race, the Sanctuary.

The pillar of the Demon Kingdom The ancestral spirit of the demon race could be seen from his place. As the strongest candidate for the next Demon King, Aiogias always felt nervous whenever he saw such a spectacle.

I have to make the Demon Kingdom more prosperous in my era.

He had already imagined his future self reigned as the Demon King. The Demon King who made the kingdom more prosperous. The first Demon King built the kingdom, the current Demon King expanded the Demon Kingdom's territory, making it a strong and wealthy kingdom.

The Vernas clan from where Aiogias hailed from was the clan that gave birth to excellent water and ice magic users, they were the driving force of the frontline which supplied drinking water and created ice to preserve the food along the march.

The reason why the first Demon King rallied the demon race to escape from the Sanctuary was because they were searching for more abundant land.

The current Demon Kingdom had more territory as they kept conquering their neighboring kingdom.

On the other hand, there was no meaning in the new territory unless they somehow managed to develop it.

But, such an idea was hardly accepted in the current Demon kingdom. Thanks to the First Demon King haphazard land distribution as a merit of the war, the territorial management of the land was all over the place.

There're clans who diligently cultivated agriculture on the ruined land, or clans who abandoned the rich land without developing it for agriculture at all.

That's why when he became the Demon King, the first thing he would do was integrating the management of the land. Currently, there was no problem since the number of the population was still small compared to the size of the area, so the food could still be supplied from hunting alas, the efficiency for the agriculture would rise to another level with unified management.

When the population rose even further Not just limited to the Demon race, it also included the beastfolk and the night elf The situation had already been under control. The ogre and goblin who ate a lot of food would be kicked out. Polishing the Demon Kingdom's function to a whole nother level. And once the position of the Demon race was rooted on the continent, that would be the start of the thousand years of glory of the kingdom!

Excuse me, Your Highness. There's something that you have to hear.

And just as Aiogias started to imagine his future as the Demon King, someone was knocking on the door of his room.

Is something the matter?

Asked Aiogias with a composed voice as he combed his blue hair that was still wet after taking a bath. His subordinate was someone he put in charge of analysis of the other faction movement within the castle.

This is news about your youngest brother, His Highness Jilbagias.

Continue.

His Highness Jilbagias has a quarrel with viscount Megalos of Anoitos clan.

Anoitos clan

He tried to recall the name of that clan alas, nothing came into his mind.

I don't recall about that clan.

Just an insignificant clan without any value.

So they're not worthy of my time huh Aiogias instantly decided that such a clan was not worthy of his time and didn't commit their name in his memory.

So he was involved in a quarrel of the same rank as soon as he got his peerage. According to Emergias, my youngest brother did grow properly befitting of that rank So, what's the situation?

Asked Aiogias as he elegantly sipped the caffe from his cup.

Uhm. About that His Highness Jilbagias broke his opponent's horn with his bare hand

BUFFOOOOOOOOOO

The news was so shocking that Aiogias ended up spurting caffe from his nose.

Breaking horn With bare hand?

The 2nd Demon King's child, Rubyfia, was equally surprised upon hearing the same news.

Her room was gaudy. Rubyfia fully understood her father's thought, that's why she didn't hesitate to decorate her room with cultural ornament. Nevertheless, as a first rate warrior, she naturally became a weapon collector.

That's why there were various boorish, rustic looking spears lining up beside a work of art in her room Anyhow, her room was a hot room containing a hodge podge of treasure. According to those who visited her room, her room could be mistaken for a red dragon's den. Reason being her room was crammed with all kinds of treasures and weapons.

Wait a minute, can you tell me the details of the situation? Otherwise, I might've some sort of misunderstanding.

Asked Rubyfia to her subordinate as she sat back on her sofa.

Yes! His Highness Jilbagias is coming to the palace by himself to visit His Majesty's office for some sort of reason early in the evening. He left His Majesty's office around one hour later alas, we have no idea what he was talking about with His Majesty in the office. And then, when he descended and arrived at the Brilliant Plaza, viscount Megalos of Anoitos clan started a quarrel with him which resulting in the following incident.

Anoitos clan Those idiots huh.

Said Rubyfia disdainfully as her beautiful face overflowing with wildness contorted as if she just recalled something unpleasant.

Hahaha, indeed, they even caused a trouble for Milady.

Rubyfia looked even more displeased when her subordinate said so with a teasing tone.

Since they're fearless folks, they're quite useful as a Spear in the battlefield. The problem is, they sometimes mistook to whom their spear pointed at.

She spoke as she heaved a sigh, leaning on the armrest of the sofa as she propped her chin.

So?

Yes! Viscount Megalos was calling His Highness Jilbagias a cheeky brat whose strength unbefitting of his peerage, and taking credit for the other warrior's achievement. He then told His Highness Jilbagias to prove that his peerage is rightfully gained by showing his skill.

Her subordinate continued the story while scratching the tip of his nose.

Then kicking His HIghness' nose.

Oh my, that sounds painful.

Said Rubyfias as she touched her cheek with an unnatural gesture alas, she had already known that Jilbagias had already undergone grueling training since a young, tender age. Something like a kick on the nose wouldn't be enough to make him admit defeat

There's a bit of banter flying around after that before His HIghness Jilbagias started attacking back. He closed in on viscount Megalos Like this

Her subordinate then mimicked Jilbagias' gesture when the latter swung down his knife hand.

And smashed the left horn with a single strike.

Rubyfia had also unconsciously stretched her own fingers.

Losing a horn was akin to the death penalty, or maybe even worse, for the demon race.

Its' function as an organ to sense magical power aside, it was a symbol of dignity and personality of the demon race. Even a little chip on their horn was akin to losing their eyes, not to mention that their magical power had also been weakened.

In the case it was broken

Just a confirmation but, are you really sure that he used his bare hand?

According to the report, he really did it with his bare hand. Our sources couldn't confirm the use of magic, hex, or hidden weapon.

Hee Anoitos clan must be pretty upset right now.

Yes, they sent protest right away to Reiju clan via the healer.

Said the subordinate with a voice that mixed between sympathy and mocking.

What's the response of my youngest brother in regard to this incident?

According to His Highness, It broke so easily even though I just poke it lightly. Unfortunately, even I have no idea that his horn was this brittle. Naturally, it isn't impossible to restore it alas, it might break again later from a petty scuffle. In my opinion, he should stop wielding his spear altogether.

Even Rubyfia couldn't hold back her chuckle upon hearing her youngest brother's response.

He reaps what he sows. And making an enemy of the Reiju clan of all people.

It was possible to restore the broken horn with a transpose curse. As long as the scapegoat, which naturally was a demon race With Robust Horn. Since the target had to be the same rank or lower than the caster of transpose curse, healing became more and more difficult as the rank got higher and higher.

And using that method means that another demon race had to lose their horn. Usually, as long as the victim wasn't a public figure, it would be left as it was. Unless it was a criminal who was punished with Breaking The Horn

It didn't change the fact that the Reiju clan was the one who was responsible for the treatment. Not even viscount Megalos would expect that he would lose his horn from a mere scuffle alas, he provoked the wrong opponent.

Even Rubyfia just gave her minimal condolences as the culprit was only reaping what he sowed.

Nevertheless, with a bare hand, is it?

Though Rubyfia knew that the horn of a demon race sometimes broke due to lynching or when having a spear duel between clans, this was the first time in history that the horn of a demon race broke during personal quarrel between demon race, with a bare hand on top of that.

Not to mention that the one who performed such feat was

If I'm not wrong, that child should be still 5 years old child, right?

Yes, I also remember that he's still around that age.

Her subordinate replied amusingly while brushing his beard.

In the first place, the horn of the demon race is tough. The reason is simply because it's the source of our magical power, thus, it's stronger and tougher.

That's why even if it clashed with the sword of a human race's soldier, it would chip the sword's blade instead.

Even Rubyfia, an archduchess Wouldn't be able to break another demon race's horn with her bare hand without magic.

Come to think of it, a long time ago, a demon race warrior also had their horn broke by the punch of the fist saint of beastfolk on the battlefield.

She then recalled the figure of her youngest brother again.

Has he really become that powerful? I know that he became a bit stronger after his fight against Faravugi but, that cant explain how he managed to accomplish a feat that rivals the fist saint.

Maybe, Megalos' horn is really as brittle as he says.

Honestly, I agree with this.

Rubyfia and her subordinate chuckled together as they came to an agreement.

Anoitos clan must be really pissed off now. After this incident, though I don't know who will start it, people would call themWeak Horned Clan behind their back.

No one riling them up right?

At least not from Milady's faction.

Yeah, make sure to warn the guys who tried to make a move without my order.

Said Rubyfia curtly.

Jilbagias was currently being watched by Rubyfia's faction. Because the youngest brother who distinguished himself in such a grandiose way without being swayed by both factions had to be recruited as an ally.

But, Rubyfia's subordinate and protege aside, Diagias and Topazia who joined her faction, and then the other subordinates that she had no idea about.

None of them were thinking about doing something like crushing Jilbagias for the time being, alas

I guess it's only a matter of time, I'm starting to look forward to that child's future.

No matter how weak he was, she just couldn't dismiss the fact that her 5 years old little brother managed to break the demon race's horn with his bare hand just with guts and ability as a mere coincidence.

It's for the best if he came under my umbrella but

I still can't forget the look in his eyes when we met for the first time.

The look in his eyes sent a chill running down into my spine Something that I can't imagine coming from my half-brother

Rubyfia licked her lips.

I'm looking forward to your growth.

It was the eyes of a bloodthirsty predator.
