Summary:

"Governor Irons, you are under arrest for colluding with the demons!"

Looking at the charges against him by the nobles, Ains sighed helplessly. Sure enough, being a hard-core ruthless person in a strange little country would definitely not end well. He offered his loyalty to the queen, but ended up being a prisoner. Sure enough, he shouldn't have gotten so carried away in the first place...

"So, why don't you come with me to the Demon King's Castle? I can give you anything you want, and I'll even arrange for you to have a high-ranking succubus as your wife~"

Faced with the temptation of the female devil, Ains wanted to refuse at first, but the conditions she offered were too tempting, so... I will not be a loyal subject anymore! Queen!

But when he saw the so-called high-level succubus of the Demon Queen, he fell silent.

"Didn't we agree to arrange a succubus for me to be my wife?"

"Yes, I have succubus bloodline, and it's very high-ranking~ You don't want it?"

Seeing the devil queen showing a triumphant smile, Ains felt that her chastity seemed to be in jeopardy...

Chapter 1 Governor Irons, you are under arrest!

"Governor Irons! Surrender! You have no way out!"

"..."

Irons paused as he wrote on the document. He looked at his office door that was suddenly opened, and the female knight standing in front of the door with a resolute and vigorous look on her face.

The female knight was wearing a shiny silver close-fitting armor. Although it covered her entire body, it did not look bloated at all, and it even outlined the female knight's proud body curves.

It is obvious that this set of armor was specially customized with superb craftsmanship.

But what is truly dazzling is probably the female knight's shining star-like appearance.

Whether it's the pair of deep blue eyes that instantly remind people of the night sky, or the dazzling blonde hair, it makes people feel that this girl is destined to become the focus of the world.

The girl in front of you is the new generation of brave warrior, Catherine Lena, praised by the bard as the "Golden Rose".

Looking at Catherine who rushed in, Irons was silent for a while, then his frown gradually relaxed and finally he showed a relieved smile.

"Ah... Tsk, fine, I surrender, brave sir..."

With that, Irons left his desk and raised his hands to the female knight.

Seeing that he had chosen to surrender so decisively, Catherine was a little overwhelmed for a moment. She tilted her head in surprise and asked, "Eh? Aren't you going to resist? Or ask me why I arrested you?"

Hearing this, Irons looked at Catherine's eyes which still held a hint of innocence, and couldn't help laughing for a moment.

"Puchi...ah...why should I resist? After all, you are a God-given person, and if I, an ordinary person, resist you, wouldn't that be courting death?

As for why you arrested me... I know the answer without asking. If as expected, it was Duke Remington who advised you, right?

They said I was a cruel and tyrannical governor who deceived the people, took bribes, perverted the law, colluded with the demons, and killed innocent people..."

Irons' words made Catherine stunned again. Eh...hiss...this sentence is so familiar, as if it is exactly the same as what the Duke of Remington said?

The feeling of being seen through made the female knight very uncomfortable. She raised her sword and said stubbornly, "Humph! Duke Remington doesn't need to tell me about this! I can see it with my own eyes!"

Irons smiled and nodded, even clapped his hands, and said: "Ah, yes, yes, yes, the brave man is wise and insightful, and I, a cruel governor, will naturally surrender~"

Then, Irons stretched out his hands and asked, "So now, are you going to handcuff me?"

"..."

Looking at the overly cooperative Ains in front of her, Catherine felt inexplicably awkward. Why was he so calm? Why wasn't he afraid at all?

Could it be that... I caught the wrong person?

As soon as this thought came to her mind, she immediately dismissed it. It was impossible, absolutely impossible!

She had investigated thoroughly the fact that Ains was colluding with the demons. This guy relied on the geographical location of Blackwater City close to the demon realm to trade with the demons all year round. He was a complete traitor to the human race!

But... Catherine felt upset when she saw Irons's expression, which showed that he was not afraid at all and even wanted to laugh. Why are you so proud, you traitor?

She angrily handcuffed Irons' hands and dragged him out of the office.

With his hands handcuffed and taken behind Catherine, Irons realized that both sides of the aisle in front of the office door were already full of people.

On the left side were members of the Brave Team, Catherine's companions. Irons didn't care much about these people. They were just a bunch of idiots being used by the nobles.

And the person on the right is the one he needs to care more about.

The middle-aged man in the lead had a pair of horned beards and was leaning on an emerald cane. He looked extremely proud, and Irons was very familiar with this man.

This person is the Duke of Remington mentioned earlier.

Seeing that Irons was captured so smoothly by the brave man, Duke Remington opened his mouth and burst into a duck-like laugh: "Haha~ Irons! It seems that in the end, I am still the winner~ Hahaha~"

Irons rolled his eyes speechlessly. If his hands weren't handcuffed, he really wanted to clean his ears to check if anything dirty had entered.

"Tsk, today is really a bad day. As soon as I went out, I saw a three-legged toad making a lot of noise here."

"Huh?" Remington's laughter stopped for a moment, and he immediately stared at Irons with his beard puffed out, but he quickly suppressed his anger and sneered.

"Hehe~ Just keep on being tough with your words, Ains. After all, you're just a prisoner now. I won't make trouble for you in front of the hero, but later on, I have plenty of ways to torture you~ It's a pity that the foundation you spent five years accumulating finally fell into my hands~ Hahaha~"

Hearing Remington's words, Irons couldn't help laughing for a moment. He grinned at Remington and said, "Then Your Excellency the Duke must cherish the legacy I left behind~"

Remington frowned at Irons's strange reaction, but he didn't think much about it. He just thought it was Irons's crazy talk before his death. Anyway, in his opinion, this guy's behavior after taking office as governor made him look like a madman.

After passing Remington, Irons looked at the woman in butler costume standing behind him, his expression showing great disappointment: "Alas, this guy Remington has already spoiled my fun enough, but I didn't expect there would be someone who spoils my fun even more."

"…I'm sorry, Governor…"

"Mary, why did you betray me?"

The woman called Mary apologized for a while, but then quickly withdrew, replaced by an indescribable desire: "...Power, Governor, it is power...

I am very grateful to you for giving me a chance to climb up the ladder, but, Governor, your behavior seems to me to have no future... and the Duke of Remington has given me an offer that is hard to refuse."

Irons chuckled and said, "Ah, let me guess, is it thirty thousand bucks?"

"Um!?"

Irons' words shocked Mary. She looked at Irons in disbelief. For a moment, an indescribable uneasiness surged in her heart.

And Ains curled his lips and said, "What a pity. Originally, I thought you were someone worth training, and wanted to introduce you to her...

I never expected that, thirty thousand bucks... Phew... Fortunately, I didn't send the letter. Mary, you are really not as good as Adela..."

After saying that, he shook his head and followed Catherine away. After Catherine left with Ains, the other members of the brave team also said goodbye to the nobles and followed Catherine.

The nobles who stayed behind celebrated and walked towards Irons' office with the joy of a good harvest, but Mary was the only one who stood there trembling.

"Compared to Adela, you are really not even a little bit inferior..."

These words kept echoing in her ears, like a heart-gnawing curse, making her heart feel as if it were being cut by a knife!

"I'm not as good as Adela? What a joke! That fool with no ambition! How could I be worse than her! Irons! I will prove that you are wrong. I, Mary Bell, will definitely climb to the top of the pyramid in this country!"

Remington on the side laughed and patted Mary on the shoulder and flattered her: "Hahaha, with Miss Mary's talent, as long as she can show it in front of the Queen, she will definitely be favored by her~"

Hearing this, Mary put away her anger and smiled at Duke Remington, "In this regard, I have to rely on you, Duke Remington."

"Of course, of course~ I have a good relationship with His Excellency Prince Faustin. I will write a letter and ask His Excellency the Prince to say a few good words about you in front of the Queen~"

"Thank you, Lord Duke!"

Mary responded excitedly, the desire for power in her eyes reached an unparalleled peak!

…………

"You stay here. We will judge you tomorrow morning."

Catherine closed the iron gate, informed Irons, and then turned and left.

It wasn't that she had any urgent business, but looking at Irons' calm expression, Catherine always felt inexplicably guilty.

On the way to escort Irons into the prison, Catherine was not surrounded by cheering people as she was in the past. Instead, people on both sides of the road stared at her from afar, staring at her with all kinds of eyes that she could not bear.

Scrutiny, resentment, disappointment, rejection, anger...

It seemed as if the one being paraded through the streets was not Ains, but her, the brave one.

Although Duke Remington said that the people in the city were bewitched by Irons, but... those sharp looks made her feel that they did not seem bewitched at all, but only the purest and most sincere...resentment.

This was so strange that Catherine couldn't understand it. This uneasiness made her want to escape as soon as possible.

Irons looked at Catherine going away, sitting cross-legged in the damp dungeon, muttering, "Tsk, I must have been crazy to have the urge to be a hardcore ruthless person in a weird little country... As expected, the results of doing this job are not good...

If I had known, I would not have gotten involved in Katarina's affairs. I would have opened a restaurant and become a shop owner. I would have found an elf, a beast-eared girl, a succubus or something like that to be the boss's wife. Wouldn't it be good to have a wife and children and a warm bed? Why did I suddenly get so carried away...

Sigh... I don't know if that scumbag will come to save me... Never mind, I'd rather die than be saved by her. Anyway, saving my life for free is already a huge gain...

Hehe~ That idiot Remington thought I had a secret safe. I hope my safe can bring him an unexpected secret surprise~"

"He worked diligently as the governor for five years, making Blackwater City the richest city on the border, but in the end he was arrested by the hero for colluding with the demons. Who is the idiot?"

Just as Irons was talking to himself, a lazy and charming voice sounded out of nowhere, and then a black mist suddenly swirled beside him, and finally a crack was suddenly torn in the space.

A slender white jade leg first stepped out of the crack and stepped on the wet prison floor. Then, a graceful figure walked out and came to Irons with an elegant and seductive cat walk.

Looking at the long legs faintly visible in the gauze skirt in front of him, Irons raised his eyes. The first thing that caught his eye was the proud fullness that made the black gauze dress so heavy that it had to be pulled into wrinkles.

Then there is the stunning face that can easily arouse the most basic desires of human beings, and the iconic horns of the demon clan.

Although Ains had never seen her before, he could recognize her identity immediately. She was the contemporary Lord of the Demon Realm, the 73rd Demon King, the Queen of Black Thorns, Margaret III.

"Ha, I didn't expect that it would be the Demon King who came. As you can see, I am now in the midst of a catastrophe~"

"Hmm~ I can see that~" Margaret bent down and looked at Irons from in front of her.

Faced with Margaret's approach, Irons moved back to keep some distance between them.

It's not because he's afraid, it's just that Irons doesn't like to be too close to people he meets for the first time.

After all, he was actually an introvert, taciturn person with a little bit of social phobia. He couldn't stand being so aggressive on the first meeting.

This reaction made Margaret suddenly happy. She laughed: "Hahaha~ I didn't expect you to have such an interesting reaction~ Ah~ You always bring me some unexpected fun..."

Then she slowly squatted down, lifted up Ains' chin, and said with a complicated look that Ains couldn't understand, "Ains, Catalina won't come to save you, why do you still have expectations of her?

Come to the Demon King's City. Don't you want to find a succubus as your wife? The most abundant thing in the Demon King's City is succubus. There are all kinds of them. You can choose any one you want to find a wife.

Although the scenery in the Demon Realm is not very good, I can give you anything you want. You only need to do one thing..."

"what's up?"

Irons frowned, feeling that things were not simple. The conditions were so good, so what was the price, Dog Dan?

"Well~" Margaret raised her lips and said in suspense: "I won't tell you for now~"

"Ok?"

No, big sister, you are a devil, is it really okay for you to stick your tongue out to me and act cute? I tell you, I will not succumb to you just because of your cuteness! Absolutely...

"Okay! I'm going to the Demon King's Castle!"

TMD, that’s what I like. I’m honest!

Chapter 2 Do you want to inherit my Huabei?

Remington happily tapped his jeweled cane on the floor and walked briskly to Irons' office.

Looking at the simple and even somewhat shabby decoration in front of him, Remington sneered.

Irons, just keep pretending. Do you really think you can hide your identity by living in such a simple office?

You can fool those unruly people, but you can't fool my sharp eyes! This must be where all the wealth you have accumulated over the years is hidden! Now, all of this will belong to me!

Remington said to the noble beside him: "Ians has approved so much public funds to improve the infrastructure of Blackwater City in the past five years. So much money has been wasted on a bunch of peasants. It's a sin!

Humph~ However, with the capital to spend so much money to buy the hearts of the people, this guy will definitely make more money by trading with the demons in secret! As long as we find this guy's vault, we will be rich!

Miss Mary? You have the closest relationship with Irons, so you should know where his private property is located, right? "

Mary nodded and pointed to a painting on the wall of the office and said, "I know Irons has a safe. It's behind his painting."

A group of nobles immediately rushed forward and scrambled to take down the painting. Sure enough, a combination lock safe was revealed behind the painting. In their anxiety, they did not even think about decoding it, but directly dismantled it violently.

After a few spells, the entire wall became damaged, and the safe was finally forced open, revealing the bills, account books, and a diary inside.

When the nobles saw these bills, the first thing they thought of was the deposit bills. They had already begun to imagine how many large deposits there were and how many manors they could build with them.
