Chapter 162: Once More
-Hugh’s POV-
——
-A year before-
Hugh: “I’ll see you guy soon.”
Leon: “Are you sure you want to go there son, you can manage the same job here?.”
Hugh: “True but honestly want to experience what it’s like in the Demon Continent. Plus this is your
home I want to see if I can make one for myself somewhere else.”
My mother and I shared a hug, she spoke out to me during it.
Luna: “As long as you come back safe.”

Once I arrived at the Demon King’s castle I was greeted by the head butler Seal.
Butler Seal: “Crown Prince Hugh, I’m glad to see your trip wasn’t problematic.”
Hugh: “The seas were good to us, it was a very smooth voyage.” This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
Butler Seal: “While the staff is taking your luggage to your room. Can I speak to you about the letter
you sent?”
Hugh: “Of course.”
Butler Seal: “In your letter, you said you’d be visiting, but how long can I hope to have you here for.?”
Hugh: “It truly depends on how much I like my stay within Escalon. My father has already handed over
all ruling authority of the empire to me and I want to see if this could be my home base.”
The butler bowed quickly and spoke.
“I apologize, Your Highness, I had no knowledge that you have finally been appointed as Demon King.”
“It’s quite alright, news hasn’t been spread yet.”
He stood straight and looked at me once more.
Butler Seal: “Well I’m glad to hear you’ll be staying here for an extended period, finally I have a master
to serve.”
Hugh: “I'm glad you are so eager...Though if you’re able can you make an announcement to the
public?”
Butler Seal: “Is it to inform the public of your rising to the throne.?”
Hugh: “Yes, but I’d also like to give the people a chance to evaluate me.”
Butler Seal: “I don’t seem to understand.?”
Hugh: “I’d like to hold one last Ascension Competition, but they’ll be fighting for the throne.”
Butler Seal: “What, but his Highness, your father stopped the competition years ago, why jeopardize
your seat on the throne?”
Hugh: “Personal reasons, but I’d rather you just make it clear that if anyone wishes to fight, to prepare
severe pain or even death. That all those who wish to fight me must survive a brawl between
competitors. That once the numbers have dwindled that I will fight the strongest ones left standing.”
Butler Thomas: “I don’t want to see this happen again but I’ll do as you wish. When would you like the
competition to be held.?”
Hugh: “In a week, that should be enough of a notice, make it clear anyone is allowed to compete and
only make the announcement within the continent I don’t want my father interfering.”
He bowed.
“Of, of course, I wish you all the best.”
“Thank you.”

I was escorted to my room by two maids. One of the maids was an elf and the other was a Demi-
Human.
I looked at the back of the elf’s head, the long golden hair reminded me of Sylphy’s. I looked away at
the floor and lost myself in her image. Even though all Elves have more or less the same
characteristics, Sylphy always stood out to me.
Her smile, personality, sweetness, breath, countless things and I can never pinpoint which stood out
most of all. I walked I thought of what she would be up to, how she was doing. I thought of when she’d
come to visit us again and finally say she’ll stay forever. Though when I looked up at the door I went
back to reality. The two girls opened the door and spoke at the same time saying, “Welcome Your
Highness.”
I walked in looking around and they came in as well. They did another bow.
They spoke as they did so saying, “We hope you have a wonderful stay Your Highness. Please call us
if you need anything at all..”
“Thank you.”
They left shortly after. I walked slowly to the bed and fell in on my stomach. I closed my eyes and then
opened them.
‘Was that the right thing to do.?’
My hand clasped into a fist and I looked sternly at it.
“You can do this, once you win, no one can ever look down on you. No one can say you are anything
other than the Demon King.”
My eyes closed, easing the grip in my hand.
‘I hope Sylphy doesn’t hate me after she finds out.’
