"So, your name is Valx and you came here from Vassillos?" asked Lord Gregor.

"That's right, I was on my way here to find Smaragdi and his daughter when those slave traders caught me," said Valx.

"They were kicked out from Vassillos though, weren't they?" asked Dale.

"So why would you come looking for them unless you are one of the people who forced them out?" he asked.

"They weren't kicked out, Smaragdi had no choice but to break their horns while on the run or he and his daughter would have been killed," said Valx.

"Just who was Smaragdi and what happened that made him go on the run with his daughter?" asked Lord Gregor.

"He was the Demon King of Vassillos," said Valx.

"What?" asked Dale and Lord Gregor with shocked reactions.

"It's not like he was like the Lord of the Underworld and the others," said Valx.

"Smaragdi wanted peace with humans and was even thinking of uniting with your country, but we were attacked by the Lord of the Underworld before he could do so," he said while grabbing hold of the cover he was under.

"Wait, I was told that the Lord of Vassillos was killed by one of the other Demon Lords, not that he managed to escape," said Dale.

"They made that story up after realizing he was on the run with his only child, the Lord of the Underworld is a prideful Devil and didn't want others to know he failed in killing someone," said Valx.

"This means that Latina is the heir to the throne of Vassillos," said Lord Gregor.

"A small group of Smaragdi's followers have gathered near this city in the mountains to the west, or at least that's where I last saw them three days ago before being captured," said Valx.

"They were hoping to hear from him and Latina and mean no harm to anyone," he said.

"Rest up for now and tomorrow we'll go get your men, after finding out if you are telling the truth then it's up to Dale if you meet Latina or not," said Lord Gregor.

"You have my thanks no matter how it turns out with the young lady," said Valx.
