"Do you think they're okay?" Grace asked as she looked in the direction that Luke and Theodore had gone in for like the hundredth time.
Bobby waved her concern off. "You have nothing to worry about. They'll be fine."
His words weren't enough to dissuade her. She felt a bit guilty for pushing Luke to accept Theodore into the party, but Theodore did give them the giant goblin's corpse and inadvertently gave her back the item Luke had gotten for her. Even though Luke insisted it wasn't her fault, she couldn't stop thinking about how she had messed up his plan. It was only through sheer luck that nothing went wrong.
She would have to admit that Theodore had made her nervous ever since their first encounter, but the more she got to know him, the more it eased up. Obviously, her apprehension around him had not subsided, but he clearly cared and offered them a

Bobby and Chris helped Luke carry Theodore back to the castle walls, with Grace and Laurel falling behind them. Everyone else except for Luke would have preferred Laurel taking the lead or at least being within eyesight of all of them, but Theodore took first priority. Grace was busy casting healing magic on Theodore, but she would occasionally check on Laurel.Laurel, on the other hand, didn't seem to mind the suspicion directed at her. In fact, she was acting like this was an ordinary occurrence. Obviously, this didn't sit right with Bobby or Chris, but they remained silent for now. Once Theodore was good, they intended to confront her and Luke about what happened.The knights on guard stopped what they were doing and stared as the party passed them. Fortunately, they didn't try to stop them from going, and they did try to follow them and get answers. However, knowing the party was wil
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 113: Redirecting Suspicions
Everyone stared at Theodore in disbelief. He didn't add anything else and simply crossed his arms. That was the last thing Luke expected to hear him say. Was he some kind of animal? How could he just rely on his instincts? He had never heard of such a thing. Yes, there were people who had honed their instincts over many years, but that wasn't the case for Theodore.Bobby leaned toward Chris and whispered, "Is that really a thing?"Chris shrugged. "How would I know?"Laurel cleared her throat and said, "I assure you that I don't mean any harm. You must be mistaken."Theodore frowned but didn't argue, much to Luke's relief. He didn't want to have to deal with another fight so soon, especially in such close quarters. It would get very ugly very fast, and there was a high chance that everyone would get hurt, which
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 114: Learning More About Laurel
However, before he could ask, Theodore beat him to it. "What demons? Where?""You have nothing to worry about," Laurel said. "They're nowhere near close to the city. You wouldn't be seeing them."That wasn't enough for Luke to confirm whether or not this happened recently. It could mean that it was when she went to meet up with other demons to prevent the sabotage or it could be along the way she bumped into some. He needed more information to work with."Are you sure? How do you know that they wouldn't come here chasing after you?" asked Bobby."Well, for one thing, I got rid of the ones I encountered," she said bluntly.This didn't surprise Luke in the slightest, but everyone else stared at her in awe. Well, not everyone. It was mostly Bobby and Chris that were looking at her apprec
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 115: Laurel's Thoughts and Plans
Bobby was the first to recover, and he accurately described how everyone felt. "What the hell. That is kind of a big thing they should have told us."This was enough to get the others to chime in. All of them were variations on how did she know, why they hadn't been told, and what else the princess was hiding from them. Of course, Luke wasn't actively participating, preferring to watch things play out. Grace was also not saying anything and kept to herself. Luke wasn't sure if this was because she was afraid to speak up or because she had nothing to say.Eventually, Laurel had enough and said, "Don't bother asking me. I have no clue."The trio was reluctant to let it go. They wanted answers, but Laura was clearly not having any of it. She already had enough problems on her hands. After being rescued and leaving Luke and his party, she had gone to carry out Luke's request to prevent the sabotage of the tournament. Dealing with the demons that had wanted the sabot
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 116: Continuing the Quest
At his words, it jogged everyone's memory of what they should be doing. Honestly, he was a bit terrified that they could have forgotten so quickly, especially Grace. He had believed in her, and she let him down. Of course he shouldn't be holding it against them considering the bombshell Laurel dropped, but they couldn't afford to be so easily distracted in the future.The demons wouldn't give them time to recover their senses after being dealt a mental or psychological blow. In fact, the demons would lean into it and take advantage of their temporary weakness. They would either do more mental or psychological damage until the person's mind or spirit broke, or change tactics to attack them physically. None of those options were something he wanted to happen to his party this time.His party in the previous timeline had the unfortunate experience of dealing with such a case at the beginnin
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 117: Swapping Out the Patrols
Despite his intentions, the two of them ended up not talking to each other the whole time. Instead, she had been chatting with Theodore for some unknown reason. It irritated him to see her talking with the guy who had tried to beat her up at their first meeting. Wasn't she there to talk to him about important matters like the demons? So why was she speaking Theodore like she was having fun?If he didn't know any better, he would have thought she was flirting with Theodore. Even if she was, Theodore obviously had no interest in her as he scowled the whole time. Not once did he smile or drop the scowl during their entire conversation. It was honestly quite impressive that he could keep a disapproving look on his face even when he talked. That took some real dedication and showed just how much he disliked her."I think I see your friends," Laura said, indicating that she had effectively div
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 118: End of the Party’s First Quest
The rest of the day ended up not being eventful. There was no demon attack or anything that required their attention. All they had to do was patrol their designated area, but they were otherwise free to do whatever they wanted without any worries. Bobby and Chris had pointed out at one point that it was such an easy and boring job that it was almost like being paid to watch paint dry. Their description wasn't wrong, as all they did was watch.None of the natives wanted their help when Bobby and Chris offered to help. This had left them with little to nothing to do, and the duo did at one point take a nap with Grace standing guard. This earned them a scolding from Luke for abandoning their duty to Grace, who was the weakest member of the party. Bobby and Chris immediately apologized to Grace, who tried to wave it off, but Luke put his foot down.He knew she could be a pushover, but this w
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 119: Relaxing After the Quest
Finally, after much effort, Luke and Grace were able to ditch Theodore. He was surprisingly stubborn for some reason. Luke wasn't sure why Theodore had wanted to stick around them, but they were able to give him the slip by coming up with some excuse about resting too, which had been a total lie. It worked, but it had required them to wait out in their respective rooms until they were sure Theodore was gone.Now that the quest was complete, they could meet up with 'Kayla' with no worries. She had been spending time with her party, but Luke was certain he could get her to leave them long enough to have a proper discussion. He wasn't sure if she was aware of Laurel's presence through their connection, but he needed to make sure. Tracking her down wasn't difficult, as there weren't many places she would willingly go to.Luke and Grace watched from the sidelines as she sparred with Donald. T
