The sacred right side of a certain manga Chapter 041

Appearing before Erica and Liliana was a woman in her forties. She was dressed in expensive yet understated clothing. Although she was middle-aged, she was well-preserved, appearing to be in her early thirties at first glance.

The woman’s expression was very serious, with a pair of silver-rimmed glasses perched on her nose, easily reminding one of a dorm supervisor.

“This is the residence of Princess Alice, daughter of Duke Goddin! For some unknown reason, you dare to trespass here.”

The middle-aged woman suppressed her anger and sternly questioned them.

Erica and Liliana exchanged glances. Seeing that Roy, who was slowly walking up behind them, remained silent, Erica questioned in his stead: “…Who are you?”

“I am Princess Alice’s butler and protector. Who are you? Why did you force your way into Princess Alice’s residence using such methods?”

The female butler quickly restrained her anger, preventing herself from losing her composure. However, her eyes, as she looked at Erica and Liliana, were filled with hostility, as well as deep apprehension.

As someone who could be called Princess Alice’s bodyguard, this female butler was not weak. But when she realized that Erica and Liliana, despite their young age, contained powerful magic within their bodies, she was secretly alarmed. These two girls, who looked to be in their teens, were both Great Knights.

The title of Great Knight was a name bestowed upon those who reached the pinnacle in the fields of swordsmanship and magic. Even Salvatore Doni, before becoming a Campione, could not become a Great Knight due to his lack of magical talent.

“I am Erica Blandelli of the ‘Copper Black Cross,’ and this is Liliana Kranjcar of the ‘Bronze Black Cross.’ I apologize for forcibly entering Princess Alice’s residence, but a great figure has arrived, and Princess Alice should come to greet him!”

Erica stopped Liliana’s attempt to speak. She was more skilled at such diplomatic negotiations. A confident and elegant smile appeared on her beautiful and delicate face as she spoke politely.

Unlike Roy, who was a Campione, Erica’s strength did not allow her to act as she pleased. Now, she not only represented Roy but also the ‘Copper Black Cross,’ so she was unwilling to lose her manners.

“‘Copper Black Cross’? Is that an Italian magic society… Are you the next successor who recently received the title ‘Scarlet Devil’? Then the great figure you mentioned must be…”

At this moment, the female butler’s expression finally changed. As the butler of the former Speaker of the Council of Sages, she was, of course, well-informed about the magic world. Thinking that this girl named Erica had served a new King not long ago, that meant…

Just as the female butler was filled with awe, Roy had already leisurely walked to the front of the four-story palace-like building. He didn’t look like he was here to ‘kidnap’ anyone at all; instead, he seemed to be sightseeing, even having the leisure to admire the flowers and plants in the courtyard.

“Roy, the King!”

Seeing Roy in person, exactly as described in the intelligence reports, the female butler’s expression finally changed. She quickly suppressed all her anger and bowed to greet the Demon King.

“Princess Alice having such a powerful and loyal butler like you truly shows her excellence.”

Roy, dressed in his extremely bright and luxurious cardinal’s robe, with his right hand in a specially made pocket, walked between Erica and Liliana, who had made way for him, and approached the female butler.

“Your praise makes me feel overwhelmed, I merely…”

Just as the female butler was about to say a few humble words, she heard Roy suddenly say angrily: “…Since you know I’ve arrived, why hasn’t Alice come to greet me?”

This statement was extremely willful. Princess Alice had no idea of Roy’s arrival, nor had she received any prior notice, so how could she have come to greet him?

But the female butler dared not retort. At this moment, she had already clutched her heart with her hand, a pain that almost tore through her chest was lodged in her heart.

That was the power of Roy’s authority, ‘Divine Countenance.’ Although Roy had not actively activated this authority, the female butler was already affected the moment she saw his face.

Roy’s previous gentleness, under the blessing of the authority, made the female butler feel as if she was bathed in a spring breeze. But his sudden burst of anger was like a biting winter wind. This abrupt emotional shift, amplified by the authority, even caused the blood vessels of this female butler, who almost possessed the strength of a Great Knight, to rupture.

Taking two deep breaths to ease her body, the female butler said in a hoarse voice: “…Please calm your anger, Your Majesty, I will go notify the Princess immediately!”

The capriciousness of Demon Kings was well-known, and the female butler dared not defy him, not even daring to harbor the slightest resentment.

“Presumptuous! Since I have come here to see her, do I still need to announce myself?”

Roy personally demonstrated what it meant to be moody. His terrifying demeanor even caused Liliana to tremble in fear. Only Erica, who had lived with Roy for some time, knew that Roy’s actions surely had a deeper meaning. Thus, she stood respectfully beside Roy, fulfilling her duty as a knight.

His rather peculiar double pupils looked at the female butler, and then the female butler found that her soul, body, and even magic seemed to be collapsing. Starting from her toes, her entire body began to salinize, and in an instant, half of her body turned into a pillar of salt.

This was precisely the highest-grade magic eye attached to Roy’s ‘Holy Right’—the ‘Eyes of Sodom’!

Seeing this familiar authority, a hint of undetectable fear flashed across Liliana’s face. Back at the She-Wolf headquarters in Rome, Roy had almost killed her teacher, the commander of the ‘Bronze Black Cross,’ with just one look.

“Please stop, King Roy! The Alice you are looking for has already come to greet you!”

A woman’s delicate cry came from not far behind the female butler. Her voice was very nimble, like a nightingale in a secluded valley, her clear and delicate voice elegant yet tinged with anger.

A female figure materialized out of thin air at the main entrance of the building. She had beautiful platinum-blonde hair, a stunning face that would earn praise from any man, and an exceptionally graceful figure. Her movements exuded an aristocratic aura, and her elegance carried the captivating scent of a noblewoman’s perfume.

However, at this moment, this princess in her twenties had her beauty marred by the anger on her face, and her snow-white skin was taut.

“You finally deigned to appear, Princess Alice! You were hiding there, peeking, not showing your face, merely letting your female butler test me. What an audacious act! Knowing of the Demon King’s arrival and still being so brazen, it seems our Mr. Alexander Gascoigne gave you incorrect judgment.”

“…Oh, White Princess, whose reputation echoes throughout Europe, if your butler dies here, all the blame will fall upon you, upon you for using her as a pawn in your test.”

Roy’s words, piercing to the heart, made Alice’s face flush with regret and shame. But even more terrifyingly, Roy’s double pupils actually looked at her.
