Chapter 415: 415

Applause echoed through the room as the nobles’ immediately switched from being suspicious or borderline disgusted by Eiro, over to being enamored by him . The Demon stood there, with Solomon’s hand on his shoulder, smiling down toward the crowd .

And then, a message appeared in front of Eiro .

[You have the chance to take on the name Eiro Jura Daemonherz]

[Through an official ceremony, your name will be adjusted]

Eiro smiled a bit and got rid of the notifications, before Solomon locked eyes with him, “Come on, you say something as well . ”

The Demon took a step forward as he looked at the crowd once more, “You already heard it . Tonight, I killed ‘the Death’ . I won’t go into what kind of battle it was, I doubt any of you care about that anyway . There is only one thing that any of you truly need to know . ” Eiro said, continuosly smirking . Solomon was a bit disappointed by the tone that Eiro took on, but he expected this before he asked Eiro to speak anyway . So, the king just let it happen . Eiro knew best what he wanted people to think of him in the first place .

“I am not some holy warrior . I am not a saint who will fight for you like a mindless beast . I am not a weapon . I only fight for what I believe in . I will not pledge allegiance to Solomon, I will pledge allegiance to myself and my own values . ” Eiro explained with a smile on his face . And this action of course upset quite a few of the nobles again .

“However, that doesn’t mean I won’t fight for this country, and it doesn’t mean I won’t fight for its people . This is the place that I and my children now call our home, the place where future generations of our family will most likely be raised . I know many of you see me as an outsider, an intruder . A savage that doesn’t belong here . And don’t even try to hide it, it’s painfully obvious . And you’re right, I’m all of that . But with this title, this acknowledgement of my self, that will no longer be the case . By the name I was given, Eiro Jura Daemonherz, I swear that as long as I live, this country shall not fall to ruin . ”

The nobles were a bit conflicted . The tone of Eiro’s speech souded as if he was nearly mocking him, but overall, he was saying things that they wanted and that they agreed with . Solomon was glad that Eiro didn’t just go and randomly insult all of these nobles, but the good opinion that Solomon created of this Demon had quickly dropped again .

There was however one thing now fully imprinted in the mind of everyone present here . And that was that Eiro was a powerful man, someone that shouldn’t be messed with . Someone with a close standing to the King, and someone that can kill a royal practically on his own .

Eiro was someone who they didn’t want to anger . They wanted to get on his good side . So of course, with only a handful of exceptions, everyone clapped their hands . And so, Eiro’s sight wandered around the room .

He saw Duke Melachine, and even Richard and his sister standing in the corner of the room . Of course, Richard was absolutely furious at what was going on . But he wasn’t the only one . The Bloodstone Sorceress, Evelyn James . After being humiliated by Eiro during their last meeting, she had kept a proper distance . But when it came to a party hosted by Solomon, she couldn’t just randomly stay away without any reason .

So now, she had to witness this . Eiro being acknowledged . This filthy, vile, evil demon being acknowledged by the King of the country she lived in . This was ridiculous, wasn’t it? Eiro must have done something to trick Solomon! That was exactly what was going through her mind .

Eiro knew what she was thinking, and couldn’t help himself but grin once the two of them locked eyes for a moment . However, while Eiro was standing there, listening to the applause of the nobles in front of him, Solomon once more spoke .

“We will soon announce the date for the official ceremony, so I hope to see many of you again then! But for now, let us continue to have fun, as was intended for tonight!” Solomon exclaimed with a smile on his face, as the nobles slowly returned to socializing with each other one by one .

The first thing that happened was that Charles practically sprinted up to Eiro, though .

“You really killed ‘the Death’? You killed a royal?” Charles asked utterly perplexed, and Eiro quickly nodded his head as if it was obvious, “Of course . Do you think I would lie about something like that?”

“Of course not! But it’s just so . . . so amazing! Could I also someday . . . ”

“Charles . It’s not all about raw power . I am someone basically fine-tuned toward combat in most ways possible . I even found ways to use my non-combat abilities for combat . You, however, are the crown prince of this country . Someone who will lead people . You will hold immense power someday, it may just not be the same kind of power that I hold . ” Eiro explained with a smile on his face, and Charles slowly nodded his head .

It didn’t seem to be the answer that he wanted to hear, but he still understood that it was the truth either way, whether he wanted it to be so or not .

“Of course, that doesn’t mean that you can’t become powerful like me at all . It will probably be a bit harder than it is for me to get here . But in this world, nothing of the sort is impossible, know that . ” Eiro smiled, placing his hand onto Charles’ head with a smile, “But well, how are your limbs going? I noticed that the way you’ve been walking is rather stiff . ”

“Ah . . . ” Charles said, “I fell the other day . Nothing seemed to have really happened, I just basically scr . a . p . ed my leg a little . . . ”

“Hm?” Eiro immediately squatted down and felt Charles’ leg . He poured his mana inside and tried to feel Charles’ life force a bit more closely, “Ah, here’s the issue . ”

Without hesitation, Eiro pulled on the wooden leg and twisted it a little, fixing one of the mechanisms that was close to breaking . It happened to Eiro’s initial prosthetic hand all the time .

“Don’t worry about it, but tell me earlier next time . And make sure to properly keep going with that sapling of yours, so that we can replace your limbs soon . Any damage like this will just naturally heal with those, although we might have to look for another solution if it doesn’t work with your basic healing factor . ” Eiro explained, looking up at Charles’ face . He held his hand in front of it embarrassedly, and Eiro quickly realized why that was .

Plenty of nobles were currently staring at Eiro, since the Demon suddenly started feeling up the crown prince’s leg like that . Eiro stood up and looke at them, stretching his hand out forward to show its wooden nature to everyone, “I’m a prosthetist, I just made sure that the prince’s prosthetic leg is alright . “Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #'s-virtue_15238973305579305/socializing_52265452814006975 for visiting .

The people were still weirded out, and a few of those that were more ‘loyal’ to the system amongst the nobles were actually rather upset . But overall, they couldn’t really do much, since even Solomon didn’t particularly seem to mind at all . He just treated it as if it was normal .

“I must say . . . I was quite surprised to see this just now as well . ” The queen explained to Eiro, who just looked back at her with a wry smile, “What? But you obviously know what exactly is going on already . ”

“Indeed so, but I did not get a chance to witness you working on his limbs yet . ” She added, and Eiro lightly shrugged, “Eh, fair enough . It just seems kind of normal to me at this point, so I don’t really care what other people think . ”

” . . . ” The queen silently looked back at Eiro, trying to figure out why exactly this man was just speaking to her in such a casual tone . Nobody ever really spoke to her that way, with the exception of Solomon while they were in private, of course . But it was clear that Eiro wasn’t afraid of her authority, since he spoke even more rudely to Solomon .

“Now, I think it would be better for you to socialize a bit, on your first night as a yet unofficial noble . ” The queen suggested, returning back to her seat from where she could see this whole main hall rather well . Eiro nodded his head, and quickly turned around to join the other nobles .

Lugo was following him slowly as well, of course, which is why Eiro made sure not to go toward the seating-area where the stag would have trouble walking without bumping into anything . That also meant that the nobles that didn’t want to speak to him had a pretty easy time avoiding him, though . Which Eiro really didn’t mind . He was kind of hoping to be approached by a certain few people, and a man related to one of those soon walked up to Eiro .

Duke Melachine smiled broadly, in a nearly proud manner, “I had no idea that you were that powerful . To be the one that slaid a royal! What an immense achievement that is!”

Eiro laughed a bit, “I know, it sounds pretty insane, doesn’t it?”

“It sure does!” The Duke exclaimed with a laugh as well, while Eiro could feel eyes staring at the back of his head .
