"That's right, then do you know where the Holy Court sealed the Demon King at that time?"

I don't know, there's no mention of this in all the information I've come across so far... It seems that someone is deliberately hiding something...'

'Hehe, that's right...,' I couldn't help but let out a sneer when I heard this.

"Of course, they can't let the world know about such a thing as sealing the soul of the demon king in the human body..."

'What did you say!' The princess was shocked.

'Sounds incredible, right? But that's what Gandalf's group did at that time, and the battle with Houdini had almost exhausted their strength, and in order to prevent the demon king from escaping, they finally had to forcibly seal the queen on a priestess who was present at the cost of their own lives... Originally, their plan was to destroy the priestess and the demon king in her body, but one of the 'Templars' who was ordered to carry out this task had always had feelings for the priestess, and he could not bear to kill his sweetheart, so he betrayed the Holy Court, took the priestess out of the siege, and embarked on a life of fleeing..."

'El Rose!' The princess couldn't help but exclaim when she heard this.

I looked at her and smiled, 'You know about this...'

Of course, this matter is very famous within the 'Templars', it is said that Elroth was the best of the knights of the same period, and was once regarded as a popular candidate for the next knight captain, but then he suddenly betrayed the Holy See, and the official file only said that he was not strong-willed and was bewitched by demons, but he refused to mention the details of the whole thing, and I later asked some of the seniors in the group, but everyone was secretive about it... It turns out that there is such a hidden secret... And what happened?'

'Elros took the priestess into hiding, not only to deal with the hunt from the Holy See, but also to face the careerists who tried to gain the power of the Demon King, and the suffering experienced during this period was really beyond the imagination of ordinary people, but soon an even more serious problem was placed in front of them, during which the Demon King's soul gradually condensed into a fetus in the priestess's body... Both of them knew very well what the birth of this child would bring to the whole world, so the priestess repeatedly wanted to kill the fetus, and even asked Eroth to kill herself if necessary, but Eroth was too kind to bear to do so... As the fetus grows, the priestess's movements begin to become more and more sluggish, and they are finally caught up by the 'Templars' who captured them, and the priestess gave birth prematurely due to excessive nervousness... So a baby boy with the power of the demon king came into this world..."'At this point I couldn't help but fall silent, the princess was a very smart person, and did not ask superfluous questions such as who the baby boy was, and for a time everything seemed to be silent...

'And then?' After a long time, the princess asked in a low voice.

The priestess died on the spot due to excessive blood loss, and Eroth tried his best to get out of the encirclement with the baby, for which he lost one of his left hand, but due to his serious injuries, Eroth eventually fell down halfway, and the baby who was originally held in his arms rolled into the ditch on the side, and then was swept downstream, and happened to be found by a third-rate mercenary who was not awake from a hangover and wanted to wash his face by the river... That guy hasn't done a few good things in his life, but this time he somehow suddenly found out in his conscience and picked up this child, and has been raising him all the time...'

'That's... This kid doesn't realize who he is?'

"Not at first, I have to admit that although Gandorf's group of guys are not very authentic, their strength is still not to be underestimated, and the seal they made successfully suppressed the soul of the demon king, until the child was fifteen years old..."

'What happened that year?'

Instead of answering the princess directly, I asked rhetorically, 'Do you remember how you felt when you first killed someone?'

The princess was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then seemed to understand something, and couldn't help but sigh slightly...

I smiled faintly, and continued, "As time went on, the power of the seal became weaker and weaker, and the child clearly felt that something was awakening in his body, and with the stimulation from the outside world, this feeling became more and more obvious... For a child who was only a teenager, this kind of thing was obviously beyond his ability, he became desperate, uneasy, miserable, and even wanted to die several times to seek relief, but at this time, the mercenary adoptive father that he had always looked down on stood up and became his spiritual support, accompanying him through those desperate days, and for the first time in his life, the child found that this man was far greater than he looked... But what should have come will come eventually, and when the child was eighteen years old, a middle-aged man with one arm found him...'

'Ellos!? He's still alive?'

Well, I don't know whether to say lucky or unlucky, he was rescued by a team of passing businessmen who passed out on the side of the road, and he picked up a life, and then he changed his name and surname, and made a living by being a bodyguard for others, while looking around for the whereabouts of the baby back then, but I didn't expect him to find it in the end... But at first he didn't show up, but secretly followed the child for a while, according to himself, he wanted to see if the demon king had woken up, if that was the case, he would find an opportunity to secretly kill the child, in order to prevent future troubles, but things were far more complicated than he expected, the demon king did not wake up completely, and the child himself was a very kind and simple person, so Ellos couldn't bear to do it at all, but it was not a way to drag on like this, so he decided to show up in public, Tell the whole thing to that kid... After recounting the whole story, he left the child to decide for himself what to do next..."

'That kid must have been in a quandary, wasn't he?'

Well, although he was vaguely aware of it before, the child did hesitate when everything was really in front of him, he didn't know whether to continue to live or end his life... At that time, Ellos comforted him and said that he didn't need to make a decision right away, just follow his heart... Follow your heart... That's a good word, but there are a few people in this world who can really follow their hearts... Since he had not relaxed his pursuit of Ellos for a long time, he could not stay too long, lest others find out that the child was still alive, and after explaining the whole thing, he left first, and told him that the child could go to the Five Kings City to find him if he needed it in the future...'

'And what about later?'

Later, the child continued to wander around with his adoptive father, but the fear of his identity increased day by day, and what was even more terrifying was that he found that the demon king in his body was becoming more and more unpredictable, and he was worried that he would soon be unable to control himself, so on the night of the full moon, he made up his mind to end his life secretly, but these did not escape the eyes of his adoptive father, the man appeared in time to stop him, and then a fierce argument broke out between the two people, and the adoptive father tried his best to appease the child's emotions, but with little success, In the end, perhaps because he was too excited, the demon king's spirit in the child's body woke up for the first time..."
