Demon King Evolution History

After a nominal trial in the imperial capital, the Duchess Elstein was imprisoned in Balthas Prison, which was famous for accommodating criminals.

"...Father... woo, mother... woo ah ah ah!"

The skirt of the dress was pinched and wrinkled, and Claire was crying loudly.

But.No one will come to help her.

The vassals who were originally so gentle now cast cold gazes at her.

There was no sympathy and sorrow in their eyes, but hatred and contempt.

The 'daughter' of the Eilstein family whose territory was confiscated and whose title was also deprived is of no value.

"—Stand up, sister of the traitor!"

A high-ranking official who put on airs.Grabbing the young Claire's hand violently.

"Give back the elves of the Eilstein family that signed a contract with you to the Wang family."

"……Eh?"

"Return your 'elf' to the Wang family. Alright, stand up quickly!"

"……no, do not want!"

Claire shook her head pleadingly.

"Scarlett is an important friend of mine!"

"Shut up! The sister of the rebel who discredited the empire!"

The high official slapped Claire on the cheek unceremoniously.

"It's going to delay my work, isn't it!"

"Okay, it hurts... ah ah ah..."

Claire let out a groan as her hands were forcefully twisted.

"Well, wait a minute. It's really outrageous to be serious with children—"

——Suddenly, someone grabbed the senior official's hand from the side.

"This 'girl' and flame 'elf' should be placed with me first."

"You, what are you talking about, Mr. Graves!"

The senior official looked at the man with some fear.

"I feel that this 'girl' has an extraordinary talent. It would be a pity to destroy it here. If she goes to my academy to study, she will definitely become an excellent 'elf' envoy."

"Don't, don't be joking! This 'girl' is the younger sister of that disaster spirit Ji!"

"...What's the matter? Do you have any opinion on my decision of this Twilight Demon'woman?"

Eyes as sharp as an eagle glared fiercely at the senior official.

"No, no, how dare I..."

The high official nodded reluctantly.

"Mr Graves! This matter will make your situation in the palace even worse!"

Graves just shrugged her shoulders at such intimidation.

After the senior officials and soldiers retreated, she looked down at Claire.

Even the ignorant Claire knows the name Twilight Demon.

The most powerful elf envoy in the continent, who uses powerful demon spirits. It is said that even demon-level spirits have been destroyed.

"Stand up, Erstein's girl!"

After a while of silence——

"Don't make me say it a second time. Get up!"

"Yes Yes……"

Claire stood up timidly.

"The parents who have been protecting you are gone. Do you have the consciousness to create your own destiny with your own will?"

"I want--"

Young Claire is facing a choice.

Claire at this time.There should be a way to 'hand over' Scarlet to the royal family, hide her identity somewhere and live as a 'daughter' of commoners.

And if she chooses another path, what awaits her is undoubtedly a cruel fate.

――However, Claire has already made up her mind.

"I want to see my sister again. See her and know the truth!"

"...Very well, let's become stronger, Elstein's girl!"

I don't know what I saw in the eyes of Claire who nodded──
