Shane could hardly believe that it was feasible for a common lesser demon to become the king of an entire kingdom.
Seeing this, Shane just shook his head, hoping that the rewards they would receive were everything but ordinary!
He did not spend a couple of hundred thousand gold coins on manufacturing new mana-sphere crossbows, food, seedlings, the acid rain protection mixture, and building an entire wall with hundreds of runes engraved in it, for nothing!
Remaining calm, he tried to listen to the king without batting an eye, and let Ilya lead the conversation.
Shane remained silent for most of the time and didn't open his mouth except for his short introduction. This was more than enough and he believed that too many people reporting the same situation, with slightly different details might lead to wrong information.
As such, Princess Ilya was the best choice, even more so because she was unfazed by the common lesser demon, who was in fact a king.
