This Life, I Will Save The Duke (20 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 78

It was the letter he had been waiting for.

Until the truce agreement with the Demon Realm was finalized, Lucifer Tanak remained under Kaius’s supervision, ostensibly for his own protection under the guise of confinement. Even Kaius readily agreed that he was an unusually cheerful demon. Captive as he was, he had been astonishingly shameless.

Though appearing as a child, the depth of experience emanating from him suggested there was far more to him than met the eye—though Kaius didn’t know the specifics. On the day he was to return to the Demon Realm, Lucifer casually offered Kaius the location of one of the demon outposts, saying that if Kaius ever changed his mind, they could be friends. It was one of the bases established specifically to monitor the human world.

Death General Store.

Kaius never dreamed he’d actually end up contacting him, yet inevitably, things turned out exactly as Lucifer had said. He’d left a message before heading to the capital, and received a reply far sooner than expected.

[Friend? I thought you said you didn’t want to be friends?]

That was his greeting.

Kaius could vividly picture Lucifer’s grinning, smug face.

[Enough with this nonsense. What’s going on?

Truth is, I have countless questions—especially about your wife. There’s so much I want to ask.

Anyway, I’m eager to see you soon. I’ll visit before long.

—From Luci, who wishes to become a friend of Kaius von Elbaltan.]

Kaius’s expression remained indifferent as he read the letter, but his eyes darkened deeply. Bringing another demon into affairs already tainted by demonic actions required extreme caution. On the surface, both demons shared the same goal: to dominate the human world. Yet at the time, Lucifer hadn’t seemed particularly sincere about invading humanity—making a meeting with him well worth considering.

Thus, any judgment regarding Lucifer would remain suspended until then.

Should he ultimately be deemed an enemy, Kaius would have to make a decision about what came next.
