He didn’t look or sound too broken up about it, but this news was kind of a surprise. Unfortunately, it seems he was killed by unknown assailants on the way home from the Council.” “Indeed-my younger twin brother, to be more precise. “So the Valentine I met at Walpurgis was your brother?” Louis then embarked on a recap of recent events, loudly enough for the paladins to hear. Given how I was a demon lord just like his boss, Luminus, I suppose being casual with people like me came naturally. “Just Louis is fine, my demon lord.” Even though the paladins were right in front of us, he apparently didn’t have much time for formality. This was Louis-the Holy Emperor, as he called himself. If anyone has an issue with it, they should complain to me, not her.” Lady Luminus had little to do with it, and Hinata was so against it at first that she tried to take us all down. “No, I was the one who came up with the plan. As long as she stuck to that, Hinata was willing to hold up her end of the bargain.īut as the man who was with her then explained, this ploy wasn’t Hinata’s doing in the first place. She did, however, extract a promise from her that no civilians would be harmed in the process. Reluctant or not, apparently Hinata was incapable of defying Luminus’s will. Not that she was much interested in the people’s support in the first place…” “Lady Luminus defeated me when I tried to put a stop to things myself. “It was out of my hands,” she said, sighing. The entire setup was wholly contrived, something Hinata knew all along-but whatever rational sense the arrangement made, why did she go along with it? The Crusaders, the team of paladin knights led by Hinata, stood in opposition to the demon lord Valentine, which earned the Empire the support of the general public. That, of course, was all in the past, now that Veldora had so breezily blown her cover at the last Walpurgis Council. She had been using a trusted confidant as a stand-in, giving him her name, Valentine, so he could fully play the part of demon lord in her stead. Her real name was Luminus Valentine all along. Luminus, the single god worshipped by the Western Holy Church, was none other than the demon lord Valentine. Getting everything settled was more exhausting for me than fighting Hinata-a fact I made sure remained a closely guarded secret. Things became much, much harder after all that.
