I had never seen the demon king of only hearing the same rumors everyone had. Stories of unimaginable power and of a single gesture reducing an entire city to dust. It was hard to know where the truth ended and the myth began and Most of the tales seemed like the stuff of nightmares told to children to keep them in line.

But there was something different about the way people spoke of the demon king. something in their eyes that made me uneasy, This wasn't just a tale spun by a drunken bard, There was a kernel of truth in the legends and that same truth terrified me.

I tightened my grip and my knuckles turned white as I tried to reconcile what I knew. I was strong, Strong enough to face down demons and to protect my companions. To hold the fate of a city as large as south hollow in my hands, But to destroy a city with a wave of the hand? That was something else entirely.

'Impossible,' I thought as the word was lifeline I clung to even as doubt gnawed at the edges of my confidence. 

My strength had grown considerably since I began this journey but there were limits and barriers I hadn't yet broken. If I went all out, I could lay waist to a city but to do it with the wave or a hand was beyond me and beyond anyone. 

'I need to get stronger,' I resolved with the determination seeping into my bones even as a sigh escaped my lips. 

My heart grew even heavier like the weight of a mountain was crushing it as the memories of last night came flooding back. Seeing Ella and the others in such a state doing something so vulgar left me number then before, All of them sharing the same bed with another man. 

'it's only because of the skill' That was the thought I never let leave my mind throughout all of this and yet.

'Why do they act like that' I clenched my hand even harder as my finger nails dug into my skin.

The moaning and their orgasms, I tried to say to my self that they were nothing more then a forced reaction due to their bodies but why did it not seem that way. Why did Ella and Nessa wear such lewd expressions as they were used, Why did Evelyn and the duchess moan so loudly when they came.

'It's not them…..' I nodded my head trying to push the thought away as my hand loosened up.

'Sacrifice is necessary,' I told myself again trying to banish the gnawing fear that lingered just beneath the surface of my thoughts.

"Hero" As if to distract me from my thoughts a soft voice from behind interrupted my focus.

"Hm?" I turned my head around and my gaze landed a middle aged woman with neat black hair that had already started to turn gray.

'H~how old is she?' What shocked me wasn't the fact that she has no wrinkles but the sight the two large protrusions on her chest.

"There's a letter from the capital" The older women spoke either not noticing of bothered by my gaze as she held out her hand where a golden envelope sat.

"The capital again?" I muttered tearing my gaze away and staring at her outstretched hand for a couple of seconds.

I stood up taking the letter from her while trying not to stare at her ample chest. It was rare to receive communication once from the capital and yet now it was twice in such a short time. I couldn't help but feel a bit wary as I broke the seal and unfolded the parchment, My eyes slowly scanned the contents narrowing more and more until I felt my eye twitching.

'A banquet huh?' I read it over once more just it be sure and then let out a sigh.

The letter was an invitation to a banquet in the hero's honor hosted by the king and central nobles themselves. It was meant to celebrate our recent victory over the demon general and I guess to rally support for the continued fight against the demon king. Despite my instant reluctance i could only feel annoyed since I knew I had no choice but to attend.

"Maybe it will get my mind off things" I muttered to myself trying to find some solace as I folded up the paper with another sigh.

"Thank you" I nodded toward the older women who bowed slightly toward me before waking away as her chest swayed.

'The guilds really do know how to pick employees' I shook my head wondering if all guild employees were so quiet and professional.

'I guess we're headed to the capital' I was sure that the duchess would be happy to finally sleep in her own manor after so long.

With the letter weighing on my mind I calmly returned to my training trying to push aside the turbulent emotions that threatened to overwhelm me. The banquet although annoying for many reasons was still a chance to refocus not just for me but also everyone else.
