The Tale of Hero Alice's Social Death - Chapter 256

Chapter 256 – Chaotic Scene

Apart from the Four Heavenly Kings, very few people actually knew about Alice’s identity as the Demon King. While Gel might be the Heavenly King of Water’s close aide, he wasn’t made aware of the Demon King’s real identity and appearance. He only knew that the Demon King’s image shared on the internet was fake.

However, Alice’s face was one that Gel recognized. He had met her when he was receiving a periodic shipment from a smuggling convoy. At the time, he merely thought Alice to be an ordinary young lady from a noble house who was here to sightsee in the demon realm. He thought that she would return crying in only a few days.

Unfortunately, Gel never got the chance to meet Alice again later on. Even so, he didn’t really put the matter to heart. While he might not hold any deep hatred toward humans, he wasn’t the type of person who’d care about weak humans.

The next time Gel saw a picture of Alice was when she was officially announced as the Gryffin Kingdom’s princess. As the supervisor of the demon realm’s biggest supermarket chain and the Acura Kingdom’s smuggling operations in the human realm, Gel naturally had to pay attention to the ongoings in the human realm. So, when pictures of the new Gryffin Princess started circulating in the human realm, Gel had naturally seen them.

At the time, Gel had been quite shocked to learn that the little girl who had followed a smuggling convoy to the demon realm turned out to be a princess in the human realm. However, thinking that he might never have any dealings with Alice in the future, he didn’t put too much thought into it.

Never did Gel think that he would meet with Alice again so soon. Moreover, their meeting this time had shocked him to an unprecedented extent.

“Kamia, don’t tell me this person is…your boyfriend?”

At this time, Gel no longer gave off the calm and mysterious feeling he did when Alice first met him. Instead, he wore a dumbfounded expression on his face while gripping his chest with his hand, his appearance making it seem as if he had just heard a devastating piece of news.

“D-Do you know who you’re standing next to?”

There was a reason why Gel was so shocked right now. Ever since their parents died, Gel had taken responsibility for providing for their family. In a society where strength mattered the most, climbing to the upper ranks of society was an incredibly challenging task for a pair of young siblings.

Fortunately, Gel was not only a rare magic talent, but he even had the spatial affinity, an affinity even rarer than the dark affinity. Thanks to the combination of a rare magic talent and rare magic affinity, he had received the attention of Ellu Shax, the Heavenly King of Water. This, in turn, allowed him to receive a lot of support and achieve rapid growth in his strength. At the same time, his position in the Acura Kingdom also soared.

In his current state, Gel could already provide his little sister a life far that was far above the average living standards. He had always been proud of this and felt that he had successfully paved a smooth future for his little sister.

But… But… How did his little sister turn into a lesbian without his knowing? Not only that, but why did she have to refer to an underaged girl as her boyfriend? Moreover, of all the girls his little sister could have chosen, why did it have to be a princess from the human realm?

Andusia had left the room after helping Kamia connect to the internet, so she didn’t hear the excuse Kamia had used to convince Gel to come to Demon King Castle. Even so, when she heard Gel’s words, she could more or less guess how Kamia had managed to get her elder brother to hurry over.

For a pair of siblings who had depended on each other for most of their lives, it was only natural for the older brother to grow worried when he learned that his younger sister had gotten herself a boyfriend out of the blue.

Hence, Gel must have rushed over to Demon King Castle to see which bastard had managed to seduce his younger sister. Yet, now, he discovered that not only was his younger sister’s “boyfriend” actually a girl, but the other party was also seemingly an underaged girl. It was no wonder he was stupefied.

“That… Let me explain,” Alice said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry in this situation. She could more or less understand what kind of emotions Gel was experiencing right now, so she quickly stepped forward to try and clear up the situation. Considering that the other party was Ellu’s right-hand man and that he looked like a big brother who cared for his little sister, Alice felt that it should be fine to tell him about her identity as the Demon King. So long as Kamia remained on her side, the chances of Gel betraying her were virtually zero.

However, before Alice could explain, Andusia suddenly gave Kamia a push on the back, causing Kamia to stumble into Alice. Then, after seeing the two girls embracing each other, Andusia said to Gel:

“What era do you think we are in? What’s wrong with two girls being in a romantic relationship? Can you stop being so old-fashioned, Gel Bifrons? Since when did demons start to have such a restrictive mentality?”

“Andusia!” Alice bellowed at Andusia before gently pushing Kamia off of her. Kamia was slightly taller than her, so their posture just now didn’t actually look like they were embracing each other. Instead, it’d be more accurate to say that Kamia had been embracing Alice. “Are you alright?”

“I-I’m fine…” Kamia answered with a slight blush on her face. She had also originally intended to explain the situation to Gel and tell him that the excuse she gave her was only a lie to get him to come here. However, when she looked up and saw that Gel had fallen into thought after hearing Andusia’s words, she didn’t know whether she should continue speaking up in this situation.

After the room fell into silence for some time, Gel suddenly sighed deeply and said in a sullen tone:

“You are right. Since this is a decision Kamia made, I should support it as her older brother.”

“Wait! You don’t need to support it!”

Alice immediately grew flustered when she heard Gel’s response. She couldn’t believe that this lanky man would be so easy to convince…

“I get it. I know you two will strive to walk down this path even without my support,” Gel said, nodding when he heard Alice’s words, thoroughly failing to realize the misunderstanding that had taken place just now. Then, with an understanding look on his face, he said to Alice, “Don’t worry. I won’t stop you two from being together. Kamia is my only sister, and I will support whatever choice she makes.”

You don’t understand anything at all!!!

Alice scratched her head out of frustration. She felt that she needed to quickly explain the whole situation before things got any more out of hand. However, just as she was about to open her mouth, someone else spoke up before her again.

Kamia was the one who spoke this time. Moreover, the words that came out of her mouth were even more mind-blowing than Andusia’s words:

“Then, will you be willing to call Alice ‘Mama’ as well, Big Brother?”

“???”

Gel, who had originally come to understand and support his younger sister’s decision, widened his eyes as an even greater confusion overtook his mind.
