    Chapter 325: Demon King’s Ire


    “I want freedom, My Lord, I don’t want the tag of a ‘ve’ ” Eren requested, as almost immediately the entire room burst intoughter at his foolish demand.


    “Did that weak human just say that he wants freedom? Freedom to do what? Because with his physique I’m sure that even a female lesser demon will rape him thrice a day if left alone”


    “Hahaha! Humans are so funny. They don’t even understand that freedom is not given, it’s earnt!


    In demon society, gaining freedom means to challenge their master to a duel until death.


    If he really thinks he can challenge Count Vaugn to a fight and win. Sure…. I’d enjoy watching that duel”


    “The human’s demands are outrageous, how can a human live as a free citizen equal to demons within demonnds?”


    Eren’s demands provoked uproariousughter from the room full of demons, who found his ims of wanting freedom to be utterly absurd.


    In demon society, every ve possessed the fundamental right to earn their freedom by challenging their master to a duel to the death and all ve masters were obliged to ept such a challenge, no matter the circumstances. For Eren to gain his freedom, all he needed to do was to challenge Count Vaugn, a master-level swordsman, and defeat him in battle. However, given that not even a thousand versions of Eren fighting together could hope to best Count Vaugn, the prospect of Eren’s victory seemed utterly impossible.


    “Are you suggesting you wish to fight me to death? Talking Human?” Count Vaugn asked angrily, as a murderous glint shed in his eyes.


    “N-no…” Eren replied nervously, gulping a mouthful of saliva as he felt like his words had beenpletely misinterpreted by the crowd.


    He was unaware of how the demon society functioned, and in his ignorance ha had wished for something that he did not really want.


    “I think what the human means to say is that he wishes to be treated with more dignity…. I don’t necessarily think he wants freedom, but I rather think that the human finds his tag as ‘ve’ to be derogatory..” The demon king said, as at that moment Eren felt as if the demon king was an angel in disguise.


    “Yes! Yes; YES! That is exactly what I wish to say.


    I have no problems being subservient to Count Vaugn, I just don’t want to be called as ‘human’ or ‘ve’ and wish to have my own ce to live and my own servants to attend to me” Eren said, as his words caused the crowd tough even louder.


    “Only fools care about words and pride associated with words. If I call you a donkey, will you actually turn into one? What is this foolishness?”


    “I don’t think I have seen anyone spout such nonsense before his majesty ever before.


    Wants his own house and his own ves to breed with, but doesn’t have the strength to im it for himself.


    How pathetic–”


    “Why have we even given this clown an audience? Is he today’s jester show?”


    “Vaugn is too soft, I’d have chopped off that boys tongue if he were my ve by now”


    Mocked and jeered by the demon crowd once again, Eren finally understood that he could never fundamentally mix with the demons, as from the very basics, demons seemed to have a line of thinking that waspletely different from humans.


    ‘Strength’ was the only justice in human society and strength was the only thing that all demons seeked.


    If you had enough strength then your life was blissful. However, if you were weak then it was hell.


    ‘No wonder the First Emperor invited all races to form the Unity Empire except the demons.


    These fools can’t be reasoned with, they are a poison to themselves but they don’t even realize it’ Eren thought, as he hung his head in shame and dismay.


    He really did not wish to help the demons if given a choice, however, he had none as the game had decided to make his ss a ‘Demon Whisperer’.


    “Silence–” The demon kingmanded once again, as he seemed to have reached a conclusion.


    Shockingly, Eren was slightly hopeful about what the Demon King had to say about all this, as from the entire bunch of demons that he had met. Only the Demon King felt slightly wise to him.


    “I understand what you wish for human, and I will give you a chance to gain the respect that you so desperately want.


    I am herebymanding you to go to the Great Forest and force your way into enemy territory.


    Your mission is to not only defeat the Empire’s forces lying in wait for us demons, but to also capture key enemy personnel and hostages that can help us negotiate ceasefire agreements when necessary.


    Based off your performance, I will reward you with dignity and ves befitting of your contribution and may even make you a Demon General like the rest of the onesughing at you in this room if you contribute significantly to our cause” The demon king said, as his words shocked everyone present within the throne room including Count Vaugn.


    “My Lord, but he is my ve tomand, not yours….” Count Vaugn interjected with a frown on his face, which immediately caused the Demon King to stand up from his throne.


    “Well, we can always fight over him if you wish, Vaugn, I have no problem in going fist to fist against you if you wish” The Demon King said, as he cracked his knuckles and walked towards Vaugn with a dangerous smile on his face.


    “Forgive my impudence, My King, it will of course be as you say–” Vaugn said, correcting his tone immediately as he did not dare fight against the Demon King who was the legendary Dragon Tamer.


    “Huh… I guess I got fired up for nothing,” Anos muttered, as he walked back to his throne and slumped into it.


    His action to get-up from his throne, caused the entire throne room to fall silent, with everyone present fearing to provoke the Demon King’s ire any further.
