Astray

[Layland Kleinhaus' POV]

"Look at the mark on your chest, everyone. Congratulations, you have been granted the right to be our Demon King's citizens," Velucan announces.

The citizens immediately check their chest, and sigh in relief upon spotting the Geas. They genuinely think it is a mere qualification to be called a Demon King's citizen, so none of them are suspicious about it.

Turning to Velucan, they give him a wondering look. It is easy to conclude that they are asking what they should do next; Velucan is also as clueless, so he turns to me.

He, at least, has some decency to do it mildly, so he still looks as charismatic as the people picture him to be in their mind. Putting my hand on my Rank Necklace, I channel my Mana into it, and tell him what to do next.

"Tell him to bring their children that they left at home, and kill the adults that didn't come to this place. Make sure to convince them that those adults are also traitors."
