The Devil Does Not Need to Be Defeated Chapter 170: “All Be Yours.”

Chapter 170: “All Be Yours.”
“Hero descendant…”
Shien turned speechless.
Although he already guessed that Diere had some kind of relation with Aldia, not even Shien could have guessed that the Arbin family were actually descendants of a Hero, and that Diere would be one of them.
Even if the Hero of the Arbin family wasn’t the one who defeated the Demon King. And even if their strength or the legend they left behind couldn’t match up up to that of the Hero Mitra, a Hero is still a Hero. They’re the peak of humanity. Even at worst, they still wouldn’t fall short of the level of the three great goddesses or six great demon lords.
That’s why the ancestor of the Arbin family became the Hero Mitra’s strongest comrade. The fact that this family’s head would end up the captain of the royal knights seemed only natural as well.
After all, from the start, the royal knights were created from the Hero Mitra’s comrades.
And the reason why Diere had talent only exceeded by Lucy was revealed.
It’s because within Diere flows the blood of a Hero as well.
However, if that’s so, then doesn’t that mean…
“That unlikable looking knight captain is your father?”
Shien frowned.
In response, Diere also had her own things to say.
“I agree with the first half. I also dislike him after all, but take the latter half off.” Diere’s tone was cold as ice, “I don’t want to recognize someone like that as my father. That kind of coldblooded and tearless guy who has only the kingdom, or that the well-being of the royal bloodline, in his heart, he’s not worthy of being called anyone’s father.”
It was obvious that Diere had some major issues with Aldia.
The question then is…
“If you’re from the Arbin family, then in you flows the honored blood of a Hero. So then, why is it that in the graveyard, that third rate character like young nobleman claimed that you had a sinner’s blood?”
Shien’s frown deepened.
“…”
This time, Diere had nothing to say to it.
“Ah…”
Shien also realized. He knew that he asked something that he shouldn’t have.
This should be Diere’s greatest secret. Or rather, it’s something that couldn’t be taken back right?
Thus, Shien wanted to apologize.
But he was a step too slow.
“… In me does indeed flow the blood of a sinner.” Diere spoke in a dreamy tone, “It’s because my mother committed an unforgivable sin.”
As she said that, Diere stood up from the bath, exposing her naked form before Shien’s eyes.
Shien, who was originally planning on saying something, lost all words. His eyes nearly popped out of his head due to the sight before him.
Put simply, Diere’s figure can’t be considered all that voluptuous. She’s short and petite, not much different from a 14-15 year old girl.
But Diere’s skin was really white. The her waist and legs were thin and beautiful. She’s like a just slightly immature fruit. Although it’s not quite time to eat it just yet, it’s still delicious and sweet, and heart pounding as well.
Shien could guarantee that in time, Diere will definitely not lose much to great beauties like Nien and Lucy.
That Diere just waded through the water via those thin legs of hers until she was right in front of Shien.
Shien didn’t dare to move so much as an inch.
The scene before him had completely robed him of all thought.
In this situation, Diere sat down before Shien, extended her hand, and placed her small hands onto his chest.
“I want to become strong. To be stronger than that man.”
Diere looked straight at Shien and made that declaration with a determination she had never exhibited before.
“Before, although the Arbin family’s ancestor had the talents, he wasn’t an especially strong existence. His place among humanity wasn’t particularly high, and he was basically an already fallen Hero descendant.”
But that Arbin family ancestor met the Hero Mitra and gained his acknowledgment.
Because of that, that ancestor’s talent bloomed, and with the aide of the Hero Mitra, he finally showed himself to be worth of the Hero’s bloodline within him and grew to an existence among humanity just short of the Hero.
“Thanks to that, the Arbin family decided to serve the royal family each and every generation, devoting their lives to protect the royal family. Generations of family heads were also greatly valued by the descendants of the Hero Mitra’s bloodline. Thus, they have developed over the past thousand years until now without falling.”
That Arbin family has already transformed.
Transformed into a family of protectors.
“The ancestor protected the Hero, safeguarding the world.”
“The family head protects the royalty, safeguarding the Kingdom.”
“Even that man is currently a valued member beside the King as well as the princess’s teacher.”
“Our entire family, ever since then, has never broken our connections with the Hero.”
Diere finally told Shien the most important desire in her heart.
“I’m still far from that man. So far that it makes one despair.”
“Perhaps, I can do the same as my ancestor, and awaken the Hero’s blood within me by following the Hero.”
It’s for that reason that a cold person like Diere would, after finding out that Shien was the Hero, give him so much help.
The reason is that Diere wanted to develop her own potential through Shien.
It can’t be said to be some kind of scheme.
This girl was only grasping any possibility of becoming stronger with a singular focus, like she was reaching for the last hope of her life.
Of course, Diere’s thoughts were also quite pure.
“I don’t care why you’ve been summoned to this world or what kind of things might be behind it.”
“If a day comes when you can help me reach my wish, I’ll swear loyalty to you.”
“Just like the first Arbin ancestor, I’ll protect you for all eternity.”
“Even if it’s for a thousand years.”
That was the with that Diere presented Shien.
“I hope…” Diere quietly muttered.
Shien couldn’t clearly hear the words after that.
Just like that, Diere pulled her hand back and once more stood up. Hot water splashed down from her form, giving rise to the sound of water as they hit the water. A nice fragrance and wave of heat accompanied it.
Then, Diere turned about to leave.
As he continued watching Diere, Shien finally reacted.
“Can I see what you look like?”
Shien unconsciously said those words for some unknown reason.
Diere’s figure stopped. Her hand touched at the mask on her face.
Then, Diere spoke.
“If, someday, I showed you my true appearance, then that’s probably around the time when I’ll be swearing loyalty to you.”
Diere turned her head and gave Shien a look.
“When that time comes, my everything will all be yours.”
With that, Diere didn’t stay any longer and left right away.
Shien just dully watched as she left. Only a while after did he finally dunk his head into the water.
“That was seriously freaking stimulating…”
