After Being Sold Out By The Empire, I Decide To Assist The Demon King

Chapter 146: Chapter 15: The Elf Girl and the Release of Restrictions

"Knock, knock, knock~"

"..."

"Come in."

Yila responded after rinsing his mouth. He watched as Tipcapu disappeared with the wooden basin, and then saw the Elf girl—the one he had previously rescued from Caligula’s Slave Capture Team—entering through the door.

"It’s you. Looks like you’re recovering well."

In response to Yila’s words, the Elf girl nodded and softly said, "Yes, thank you so much for finding me then, Yila."

*Otherwise, after being sold as a commodity, who knows what fate might have befallen her. The Elf girl knew this very well, so her gratitude was beyond words.*

"You indeed should thank me."

Yila nodded in agreement with the Elf girl’s words. While straightening his clothes in the floor-length mirror, he asked, "I never got around to asking you—why were you captured? Where were your companions?"

*Come to think of it, he never even asked her name.*

"Well, that day... I went out to pick some fruit with my father."

The Elf girl explained. Elves were vegetarians and ate very little; basically, they could sustain themselves on some fruit or even a bit of dew each day, so they didn’t have the habit of farming.

They led leisurely lives, apart from studying magic and reading books, spending time finding food, hunting Magic Beasts, or engaging in the arts to pass the time. Elves always traveled in groups.

Either peers would travel together, or older ones would lead.

"Then, I saw a newly ripened Golden Apple on the tree, called my father over, and went ahead to pick it. Suddenly, many humans appeared and started fighting with us."

The Elf girl continued. In fact, Elves were a very capable fighting race; a dozen average humans were not a threat at all... At least, based on the previous Slave Capture Team’s knights’ level, a dozen would be insufficient.

So, the "many" she mentioned probably referred to the entire team Yila saw before—about several dozen, nearly a hundred knights deploying to seize them.

"Then..."

As the Elf girl spoke, her emotions suddenly plummeted, and a sorrowful atmosphere enveloped her... Yila could already guess what had happened, and as expected—

"My father was killed."

"..."

*Yes, indeed. Given the Slave Capture Team’s approach, capturing an adult Elf without killing them must have been very difficult. Besides... although some did fancy male Elves, female ones were ultimately easier to sell.*

*So, they easily killed him? Someone greatly cherished by another.*

"I see. I’m sorry... Maybe I shouldn’t have brought this up."

Yila said this as he tousled the Elf girl’s green hair. Looking at her obediently bowed head, he inquired, "Do you know who caused your misfortune?"

The Elf girl knew very well who it was; her face darkened instantly, and her voice was filled with hatred and anger, "The Duke of the Empire, Caligula."

As this name was mentioned, a spark of fury flashed in Yila’s eyes... Actually, it was rare for the Governor to show any emotions, as the Governor typically kept his feelings very subdued, only becoming terrifyingly expressive when they burst out.

"Yes, that guy, that perverted bastard!"

Yila cursed, explaining to the not-so-aware Elf girl, "He’s the leader of the slave trade and a supporter of the legalization of non-human slave trade... Almost ninety percent of the Slave Capture Teams are backed by him!"

Yila referred to Caligula as a "pervert" for many reasons. It was hard to describe simply, but to put it plainly—while male Elves were generally unpopular, Caligula certainly favored them.

Because Caligula liked women and men, and even those who were neither; plus, he was both a top and a bottom and enjoyed some extreme things that most people couldn’t accept.

If this world had a term for extreme perversion, Caligula would definitely fit that to the core... Even the most degenerate of perverts would call him depraved.

Normal person: "R18 is great."

Caligula: "R18GGGGGG!"

...

Yila’s stance made the Elf girl pause, as Elves generally shared a harmonious atmosphere among themselves. She had assumed that Yila and Caligula might have been good colleagues before, so she asked, "So, you actually don’t care about Caligula’s life or death?"

*Not care?*

"Of course I care. If that guy dies, I’d be very happy."

Yila said, tightly clenching his fists, his teeth grinding in anger. "Finally, now that I’ve left the Empire, Caligula’s days are numbered."

Precisely because of this, Yila could confidently say that he had been wrongfully expelled from the Empire, and this was absolutely not Caligula’s doing... because Caligula was extraordinarily intelligent.

Caligula knew one hundred percent that if Yila ever left the Empire, it would mean Caligula’s end was near. So... Yila’s departure was definitely the work of a fool among Caligula’s subordinates, someone acting without Caligula’s consent.

Someone bypassed him, not questioning Caligula’s judgment.

"I will kill Caligula, in the name of the Sun Chaser Family!"

The Elf girl declared, fully aware that killing him would lead to international disputes, but... the Elves’ patience with the Empire had long been exhausted.

The Silver Moon Tree Court would not fear a war to ensure their people wouldn’t become slaves, but there was a significant issue—the Empire had the Governor.

*However, the Empire’s greatest advantage no longer definitively existed.*

"You don’t need to swear in the name of the Sun Chaser Family. If you merely wish for his death, I’ll do it. If you want to kill Caligula yourself... many want to do so; you won’t get to the front of the line."

Yila said calmly as he exited the room, heading to find Vera, adding, "If all goes well, Caligula will soon be replaced, and at that moment... his fate will be sealed."

"..."

The Elf girl watched Yila’s back, hesitating...

"Yila, I don’t want to return to the Silver Moon Tree Court."

Yila: "Then where do you want to go?"

Elf girl: "Stay in the Demon King Territory... maybe?"

Yila: "What would be the point?"

"..."

To be honest, the Elf girl didn’t know what staying in the Demon King Territory would accomplish, but she simply wanted to stay by Yila’s side. She said, "Maybe... you could help me become stronger?"

Yila glanced at her... It was worth noting that Yila was not oblivious. He had extremely high perceptiveness; his typically unromantic actions were just because he didn’t find them necessary.

When he needed to care for someone, he did it well. But for now...

"You should obediently go back... At that time, I’ll also board the ship."

Yes, Yila had business to attend to at the Silver Moon Tree Court—

...

...

...

To remove the restrictions on him!
