How To Be A Demon lord: The Former Hero's Journey As A Demon Lord!

Floid was in his office with Alucard standing beside him. He was reading one of the reports from Dracula as he thought about his final plans.

Aquinas was an island kingdom and so they had a lot of ships in their marine force. But the major problem that Floid knew he would face when getting to Aquinas is their outposts. The Aquinas outposts were ten tall watchtowers placed at various points around Aquinas. Their function was to watch out for any threats and then warn the kingdom if there was ever anything that could bring them harm!

If those outposts see Floids ship, then they will definitely warn the kingdom and then the kingdom would prepare to defend against Floid's attack. Floid knew that he would still win even if the kingdom was prepared, but he didn't want a straight battle. He wanted an invasion. If he carried out an invasion, his army would benefit more. No matter how strong the demons have become, two months of training wouldn't make them strong enough to fight an army that was already prepared for them. The demons would have a larger loss in a straight battle.

But if they have the element of surprise, then the demons would have the upper hand.

Another reason why Floid didn't want the outposts alerting the kingdom was that Floid don't want any humans to run away. Everyone had to be either killed or enslaved. Floid wanted to carry out a complete sweep of Aquinas and then make it a new demon kingdom to replace the human kingdom, so he didn't want any humans escaping at all. Floid never met the king of Aquinas before, but Floid knew that the man was not the sort of person who would come out to fight for his falling kingdom. Travy told Floid that the king of Aquinas was a fat, useless man who couldn't even get out of bed without help from his guards! That isn't the sort of person that would stand and see a battle through to the end. He would definitely run away.

So in order to make sure that his plans worked perfectly, Floid decided that he needed to first infiltrate Aquinas as an ally that wanted to help them with their current supply problem. This is one of the reasons he made Travy stop sending Aquinas any more supplies. He wanted Aquinas to get desperate enough to accept a request from someone they never even heard of before just so they can get their supplies.

According to Travy, the king of Aquinas was hesitant to send out his own ships to collect the supplies from Trad because he didn't want to lose any soldiers. Sending out a small number of ships would be bad because the demon army would easily defeat them, and sending out a large number of ships would be bad because that would leave Aquinas defenseless. The king was against leaving Aquinas defenseless at any cost! He might not care about his people, but he cares about his own life! If the soldiers are gone then who will defend him!?

Floid would use this opportunity and infiltrate Aquinas as a Duke from Trad that could provide ships that would bring the supplies to them. The king wouldn't refuse the offer since he doesn't have any choice. Why wouldn't he allow someone else to take all the risks while he can enjoy all the benefits? That would be illogical!

This was the plan that Floid came up with and he already started putting his plan in motion. Now, all he needed was the ships that Rizi was making and she already promised that they would be ready tomorrow. He tapped his pen on the table a few times while humming and once he was sure that the plan was full proof, he called Alucard.

"Prepare a ship, Alucard. We're going to Aquinas,"

.......

In the caves under the castle, there was a special area reserved for keeping prisoners. The dungeon had a long line of prisons lined up against the wall and Floid kept hundreds of monsters at the entrance to the prisons to make sure that no one ever thought of escaping. If anyone ever thought of escaping, they would have to go through hundreds of Minors, Dracia's, and even Giants! The odds of anyone passing all these monsters without alerting Floid of their attempted escape was zero! Even if they were strong enough to beat all the monsters, they would still have to carve their way through a thousand feet of cold hard metal before they could get to the surface again. No one was escaping from here!

It was in one of these prisons that Floid dumped the body of Reginald. Reginald was sitting inside one of the caves with his head hung low. His right hand was missing along with his right eyes. Floid only allowed Rosavellt to heal Reginald's leg and face.

Reginald felt his body shiver uncontrollably and he couldn't control it as a sharp pain shot through his entire body. He bit his lip and squeezed himself tighter as he waited for the pain to pass! Reginald would never admit it out loud, but the demon lord was terrifying. Ever since they started the torture sessions, Floid has broken Reginald over and over again and then Floid would put him together every time! Reginald has been through three torture sessions with Floid and he really didn't know if he could go through another one! Reginald was trying his best not to spill the secrets of why he was really in the demon kingdom, but would he not go mad at this rate? I can already feel my mind slipping/ I don't know what day it is and I don't know how long I've been here. Fuck. This is fucking embarrassing! I'm terrified of a child.

Reginald squeezed his hand and released it again with the intent to cast magic, but he grit his teeth angrily as nothing happened! He couldn't use his magic anymore after Floid broke his Mana core. Fuck! What sort of punishment is this!? This place stinks like piss and I haven't even eaten anything in a week!

Clack! Clack! Clack! Clack!

The sound of footsteps made Reginald look up immediately and he growled when he saw Rosavellt standing in front of his cell. Even in his terrible state, Reginald's mouth was still as sharp as a knife!

"Oh, dear sister. Come to gloat? I wouldn't be surprised if you were. That fucking man-child probably gave you a lot of confidence now that he defeated me huh?"

Rosavellt kept an impassive face as she stared at her brother. She was wearing her maid outfit and looking down at him with her hands joined in front of her and she finally spoke after a while.

"Why did you come here, Reginald?"

Reginakd spat to the side!

"Did that stupid demon lord tell you to ask me? So he can't come down to the dungeons himself so he sends his fucking maid? I'm disappointed. I thought he held me in higher regard!"

Rosavellt had to hold herself back from getting angry when she heard her brother insult the demon lord. That won't make a difference to him. Instead, she asked another question.

"How is our father? Is he still alive? Did he survive?"

Reginald looked at Rosavellt for a moment and debated telling her anything at all, but he finally looked away and spoke.

"Father's fine. You're still his greatest disappointment so at least that didn't change. I don't know what you were thinking Rosa. You know what the fucking demon lord did to us! You know how much our father suffered at the hands of the fucking demon lord and you still went to join his successor as a fucking slave! What kind of excuse do you have for that!?"

Rosavellt closed her eye for a second to hide the emotions she knew she was about to show. She couldn't let her emotions get the better of her now. Floid did not know she was here and she had to hurry up so that the demon lord doesn't suspect anything. She has noticed for a while now that Floid continued to be suspicious of her actions. Rosavellt has been absentminded ever since Floid started torturing her brother. Rosavellt didn't even know why she was feeling that way! She just felt like she needed to talk to her brother again.

Rosavellt decided that she would come and talk to Reginald one last time to get rid of that uneasiness. She did not want the demon lord to doubt her so she will just speak to Reginald once and then foget about him. No matter what sort of nonsense he did, he was still her family once.

"I decided to join the demon lord, and I won't allow you to insult my loyalty. I'll ask you again, why did you come here? It's impossible that you only came here for me. I've been gone for hundreds of years and you never bothered to find me before. Tell me and I can save your life. If you continue going into those torture sessions then the demon lord will kill you, there is nothing that will save you then. You're still my little brother, and I still care about you -"

"Take your care and shove it where the sun doesn't fucking shine! Now get the fuck out of here! I don't even want to look at you! You sold yourself and you think we're still family!? I renounced you as family the moment you left us to join that fucking man-child of a demon lord,"

"I said don't insult him!!"

Reginald flinched as Rosavellt released a bit of her bloodlust. But Rosavellt immediately calmed herself down. She wouldn't hurt her brother.

,m Reginald scoffed as he turned away from Rosavellt and huddled in on himself and Rosavellt realized that he was not going to speak to her anymore. She really wanted to help him, but it was obvious that he wouldn't tell her anything. Floid would soon come down here himself and Rosavellt knew that Reginald wouldn't survive at the hands of the demon lord. This isn't how she wanted their talk to go. She hoped she would be able to help Reginald, but he was too stubborn.

Rosavellt took in a deep breath as she turned to walk away.

"Goodbye, brother. Everything I did, I only did it because I loved you,"

Those were her last words to Reginald and Reginald's answer was immediate.

"Fuck your love, Rosavellt,"
