Book 14: Chapter 3 (1)
“Since you defeated the devil, it’s only fair for you to keep the item, Sir Shin.”
While Shin was still wondering what he should do when they returned to Erkunt, Sherlene requested that they head directly to the king’s audience chambers and report on the mission.
Because of the magnitude of the incident, they would report directly to the king.
Shin expected to have to give a very formal report in the throne room, but once again they were shown to the usual room. Once he heard about the defeat of Avaritia, King Kreunzuit approved of Shin’s claim to the drop item. Shin was taken aback by the king’s immediate and frank reply.
“Is it really alright? This is a very rare item.”
“That is precisely the reason. If the rumor that devils drop very valuable items spreads, lady Luxuria will be the next target. Even with anti-devil weapons, I am sure that Deadly Sin devils are not an easy target to fell. Sir Shin would never cooperate with anyone to take down Lady Luxuria. Sherlene, could you and your knights take down a devil?”
“Frankly speaking, without Sir Shin and Lady Yuki’s prowess it would have not been possible to produce such results. If Fagall and I had gone to the dungeon, we would have fled in the best case or killed in the worst. After witnessing the battle with my own eyes, I realized how naive I was.”
There was probably another report from Shin’s. King Kreunzeit nodded while listening to Sherlene.
“Lady Sherlene has actually witnessed the battle: I do not have reason to doubt her words. Sir Shin, you have saved our countrymen; we owe you a debt of gratitude. If we said that the item will be used to exterminate other devils, no one will have reason to protest.”
