Chapter 48: Aftermath
Ajuka Beezlebub POV
"B-Beezlebub-sama!"
Ajuka didn't even turn around as the door to his study swung open, a maid calling out to him panickedly.
"Why are you interrupting me?" Ajuka asked calmly, though there was a certain anger behind his eyes. He hated being interrupted, especially inside this room.
"It's your family, Beezlebub-sama!" The maid relayed quickly, "We've just received a request from Lord Astaroth for your assistance! A dragon is rampaging in the Astaroth territory!"
"A dragon?" Ajuka raised an eyebrow, finally turning around as a glimmer of interest appeared in his eyes, "Is it one of note?"
Ajuka assumed that the current Lord Astaroth could handle it if it was just some unnamed dragon. At the very least, he wouldn't personally contact Ajuka himself for help.
"Perhaps he pissed off Tannin?" Ajuka muttered before the maid answered.
Having a former Dragon King running rampant in his territory was certainly a justifiable reason to contact Ajuka, even if the Maou was supposed to be disconnected from his former family when he took on the Beezlebub name.
"N-No, sir, it's a blue dragon," The maid hurriedly explained, "Lord Astaroth said he believes it is the Dragon King Tiamat!"
"Tiamat?" Ajuka blinked, genuinely taken by surprise, which was rare for the man. That was certainly concerning.
