How To Be A Demon lord: The Former Hero's Journey As A Demon Lord!

The head guard, Trevor, from Aquinas had received a message through Travy that there was a very rich Duke from the kingdom of Trad that was willing to help the kingdom of Aquinas with their supply problem. According to Travy, the Duke was coming to Aquinas for a royal visit and he was kind enough to use his ships to carry many of the supplies along with him! The Duke had a hundred ships, so he was able to easily carry all the supplies with him!

Floid and Travy both had very high-level illusion magic, and so it was very easy for them to change Floid\'s appearance a little so that no one from Aquinas would recognize him. Floid changed his hair color to black and also changed his eye from red to blue. He added a small scar to the right side of his face and he was sure that no one would be able to recognize him as the former hero.

Rosavellt didn\'t need to do any kind of illusion. She was able to go to Aquinas with her real appearance since no one from Aquinas has ever seen her before. She would be posing as Floid\'s wife, the Duchess of Winchester, and Alucard will be acting as their butler in this little game they were playing.

,m Floid saw the entire thing as a game because he would be walking straight into the kingdom of Aquinas without a single person suspecting him. He was sure that this is the most fun he has ever had in his life!

The Duke and Duchess Winchester arrived at the Aquinas port late in the afternoon on the third day of the week. They were on an elegant ship that had a fine wooden sculpture of a mermaid carved into its mast. The ship was brilliantly made and it had the symbol of a red sword on the flag. They were welcomed by fifty Aquinas soldiers that lined up beside their ramp and saluted once they came down.

Floid and Rosavellt came down from the ship with smiles and Alucard followed behind them regally. They saw a man standing at the end of the line of soldiers and he greeted them once they got to him. This man was Trevor, the captain of the magic knights.

"Duke, duchess. It\'s a pleasure to finally welcome you to Aquinas. I hope your travels were eventful,"

Floid gave Trevor a firm handshake and smiled as he answered.

"Yes, it was. Although, we did run into a bit of a problem with your outposts, and it was quite disturbing. I hope they won\'t trouble my ships with the same hackling,"

Trevor\'s eyes widened a little in shock! What the hell do the outpost guards think they are doing!? How dare they disturb the duke and duchess! If the duke decides to turn his ships back because of the outposts then Aquinas would be in big trouble! We can\'t only live on fish and vegetables forever and the mana stones we have are almost completely finished! The supplies the duke is bringing are very important!

When Travy was telling Trevor about the duke. He told Trevor that the duke had a hundred ships and he was willing to use them to carry the supplies across the ocean.

Travy also told Trevor that the duke was not a patient man, he was very busy and if his ships are delayed, then he might just tell them to go back in anger!

The king of Aquinas was someone that always preferred putting his duties on other people. If the Duke could help him move the supplies over the ocean, then he would gladly accept it! It would save him a lot of trouble and he doesn\'t have to put his own men at risk! The king told Trevor to make sure that the duke never had a reason to turn his ships back!

Trevor knew that even though they were in a state of emergency because of the problems happening on the western side of the world, they didn\'t have to worry about the duke because Keith(Travy) vouched for him! Keith was trusted by all the human kingdoms and no one would doubt him if he vouched for someone! None of the kingdoms can offend the guest that Keith vouched for because he could easily stop sending supplies to them and they will have to go through a lot of diplomatic nonsense before they can get the supplies again!

Travy controlled all of the major businesses that happened in Trad and even the king of Trad respected his opinion! If Travy says that the Duke is a good man then they will never doubt him!

Trevor wouldn\'t allow anyone to interrupt the ships! He would send a message to the outposts and tell them to allow the shops through without a problem!

"Do not worry, Duke. Your ships will not face any kind of problem along the way. We will make sure the supplies get here safely!"

Floid grinned as he then turned to the other person standing at the docks. It was Maryleen, the headmistress of the magic school and she has a cigar in her mouth as she looked up at Floid with critical eyes. Floid hummed as he met her gaze calmly. Is she trying to decipher me? What a sly woman.

"I believe you are the legendary Maryleen. I\'ve heard one too many stories about your wonderful inventions. It\'s always an honor to meet a brilliant mind,"

Floid said this to Maryleen and she twitched a little before taking her cigar out and stomping it under her foot. She was feeling a lot of pride because of the compliment but she still couldn\'t calm down around the duke. She didn\'t know what it was, but there was something about this duke that rubbed her off the wrong way. She didn\'t get to the position she was by ignoring her instincts and her instincts were telling her that this duke was bad news.

It was very strange to Maryleen. How is it possible that the duke was able to bring the supplies that none of the other traders from Trad could bring? I know they said that they used a secret waterway that the demons won\'t attack, but it\'s still too convenient. I feel like we\'re all fools for trusting this man so easily. But I\'m not the king and no one can talk the king out of something once he is determined to do it! If there is any problem then I\'m sure that our naval force can easily handle it! The duke might e bad news, but he can\'t hope to challenge my ships.

Maryleen finally rose her hand for a handshake.

"Thank you for the compliment, Duke Winchester. I\'m glad my name has reached that far. I didn\'t think any ships could travel across the sea safely with the demon problem. Your ships must also be very well crafted,"

"Of course. They were made by the very best,"

Floid said this with a grin and Maryleen\'s eyes narrowed slightly as she shook Floids hand when he came close. I hope I\'m wrong about this duke. I really have a bad feeling about all this.
