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

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

The moment they heard the news, they were completely shocked. None of them could believe what they were hearing, especially Luke. While it was true that it was dangerous, this quest's difficulty wasn't high enough to result in death. Serious injuries, yes, but not death. Nobody had died this early on before, at least not at the hands of demons. He needed to find out who the victim was."Who was it?" Luke demanded."It was Franklin Foster," said Bobby.Luke went through his memories and was able to recall that Franklin had been the youngest person in their group. Franklin hadn't been part of their group in his previous life. It wasn't unbelievable that a 12 year old wouldn't be able to stand a chance against demons, especially if he was on his own, even with training. If he wasn't mistaken, the boy had been a warrior class, which meant he couldn't hide in the back and be protected by the other members of his party."Can you tell us exactly what happened?"

Everyone gathered in the courtyard as they waited for the princess to arrive. The solemn atomsphere was so thick it could be cut with a knife. The party that had been seriously injured was close to the front, with Franklin's body covered with a sheet. Even though everyone else was trying to be polite and ignore their appearance, it was hard to ignore all the bandages or the massive injuries that littered their bodies.Some people appeared to be on the verge of becoming sick. It was really a horrific sight for those not used to it. Despite the fact that they had already killed a living being, killing a goblin was not the same as witnessing another human being be injured or killed. While the goblins might have bled red, it was easy for some to pretend the blood wasn't red or for others to block the memory.This would undoubtedly make everyone realize their mortality and take things more se

Luke perked up, as he was curious to hear what her plan was. Since what happened couldn't be something she had planned to happen, the princess would have to have come up with it on the spot or it was something she had already planned for in case of emergencies. He wondered which one it was and what the plan entailed."Sir Gilbert has agreed to increase your training tenfold, and several of our knights have volunteered to join the parties. I hope this would ease your concerns," the princess said.If that was all her plan amounted to, then he was sorely disappointed in her. She had been the one to plan his demise, and this was all she could come up with. Granted, he was unaware of many things in his previous life, but still, it was certainly not up to par with what he expected of her. Perhaps he was overestimating her since it was four years into the future. It was possible that she hadn't reached that point yet.Scanning the crowd, he could see others just as unimpressed with her answe

The first one to speak up was Alyssa. "Your highness, your support is undeniably welcomed, but will the knights be able to keep up with us? I was under the impression that heroes were more powerful than the kingdom's knights."This caused a few people to stare at her in confusion, while others seemed to catch on to what she was trying to say. The reason why they had been summoned in the first place was because the kingdom couldn't handle the demons on its own. If the knights could fight better than they could, then there would have been no point in summoning them. Luke wondered how the princess was going to get out of this."I understand your concerns. While it is true that only heroes can save the kingdom, it's clear you haven't reached your full potential," the princess said. "Thus, I will entrust your care to my knights until your strength finally surpasses them."
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 124: Meeting the New Members
"Hello, we will be joining your party. Please take good care of us," the young knight said.The party studied the five knights that would be joining them. Most of them looked relatively young, which didn't spark a lot of confidence in the party. It was hard to imagine that these knights would be more skilled than them since they couldn't have been training for long unless they were all naturally young looking. They all wondered if everyone else had the same issue.Theodore was the one who looked the most pissed about it, which came as no surprise to anyone. Bobby and Chris had mixed feelings about them but were reserving judgment until they saw them in action. Luke, on the other hand, was trying to figure them out and determine whether or not they were being blackmailed or bribed. The only one who seemed at least welcoming to the new arrivals was Grace.

"Grace, there's something I want to talk to you about," Luke said.The moment those words left his mouth, he swore he saw her flinch. It was so small that he would have missed it if he hadn't been watching her closely. Now he was even more suspicious of her behavior. There was no reason for her to react poorly when all he said was that he wanted to talk with her."Okay," she agreed easily, despite her earlier reaction."Huh? What are you two going?" asked Bobby."It's something private," said Luke.The look on Bobby and Chris's face didn't reassure him as Chris said, "Oh, I see."Not wanting to hear what they had to say, Luke quickly said, "We're going."Luke took Grace's hand and led her away from the rest of the p
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 126: Joint Training With the Knights (1)
"I'm beat," Chris said as he leaned against Bobby.Bobby groaned. "No kidding. I didn't think the training could get any worse."Theodore scoffed. "You're tired already? This is nothing."Chris and Bobby threw dirty looks at him as Bobby said, "Not all of us can be all muscle."They glared daggers at each other as Grace tried to intervene by getting in between them and calming them down. Luke watched all this transpire from the side as he rested his cheek against his hand. The party's unity was still poor, but he had expected as much when he had allowed Theodore to join their party, and the party was still young. It was unrealistic to expect a party that had only been together for a few weeks to compare with a party that had been together for years."What was that?" demanded Theodore
