This Overlord Doesn't Care About Anything

Facing Felita’s shocked expression, I proudly raised my chest.

I didn’t think that it was anything to be ashamed of, but rather thought that it was something to be proud of, so I felt very comfortable.

I earnestly told her my analysis:

“When Pierce first told me that everything would be over once and for all after handing you over, I acquiesced to his way of doing things because I didn’t know you or him that well. All I wanted to do at the time was to live a happy, simple life. But when I discovered that handing you over wouldn’t bring peace and that keeping you here would be the better choice, I quickly ran over to save you. Sorry, I’m just a realist. If you decide to stay, then you will be the dog I’ll be raising. I don’t care if you’re half-demon, heck, I wouldn’t care even if you were a full-on Demon..”

Felita fixed her gaze on me and I looked back at her with a clear conscience.

A short moment later, Felita whispered:

“The masses don’t accept me, so much so that they would……rebel against you, the City Lord. You’re a newcomer……”

This time, Aleya opened her mouth.

She calmly gripped the sword by her waist.

“It doesn’t matter. As long as young master says the word, there will only be one voice in the future of West-Resisting City.”

I ran my hand through my hair and helplessly said:

“It’s not that exaggerated. But it also isn’t that troublesome to solve this issue. Didn’t your grandfather tell you to protect humanity in the past? Actually, humans can be separated into two groups: those worth protecting and those not worth protecting. You’ve also more or less experienced that for yourself, yes? But it was impossible for you to do it, and because it was impossible for you to do it, it became the reason why you started harboring a wish for death……this is a most stupid way of thinking.”

Felita fell silent.

I leaned back on the chair and waited in silence.

Look at me, steady like an old dog, but panicking like hell in my heart.

I wanted to say something dashing to keep up appearances, but I was afraid Felita wouldn’t buy it.

If she still wanted to feed herself to the Demons even after thinking for a long time, there was nothing I could do about it. The only thing that would happen is that my life from now on would just be a little troublesome. Such a precious talented sorcerer, a sorcerer that even inherited the blood of the Demon Race, there was probably only one such person in the world. I didn’t know what kind of dog **** I stepped on to receive this kind of luck, but I did know that trying to recruit another similar sorcerer would be even harder than reaching the sky.

At the very least, it was impossible for my dad to gather such a resource.

Moreover, it was very likely for a half-demon to break past the limits of humanity. Having Demon Race blood meant that there was an all-new possibility.

Silence.

Silence.

Silence for a long time.

Finally, Felita lifted her head and quietly replied:

“Sorry.”

Sadness!!

I was rejected!! My heart hurts!!

I didn’t expect that at this time, she would continue on:

“I still have a request, a very small request. So long as you’re able to achieve it, then from today onwards, I’ll be your……lowly begging dog.”

Ahh??

What is this, a twisting and turning mountain road??

The abrupt turn nearly pulled my waist, alright??

Can’t you say it all at once? Did you want to let me down before giving me a pleasant surprise? Consider how my heart will feel before doing it please.

Wait-wait-wait a moment, calm down, maintaining my elegant demeanor is the most important thing right now.

I slowly asked:

“What do you want?”

Felita took a deep breath, then placed her fair hand on her ample chest and firmly said:

“Please don’t kill anyone. I wish for the people in West-Resisting City to live as long as possible, no matter who it is.”

I lifted my head and questioned:

“Even though they once did such things to you?”

Felita nodded in response. She was clenching her fingers so tightly that they were turning white at the joints as she forced a smile:

“It doesn’t matter.”

I stood up and stared at the ceiling. After deeply pondering, I gave her my answer:

“Your request, I accept. When you’ve sorted out everything, remember to honor your commitment.”

Felita’s lips shivered as she expressed agreement.

I turned and moved towards the door as I simultaneously called:

“Let’s go, Aleya.”

Aleya followed me out without a word.

After I closed the door, I stood in front of it for a short moment.

A soft murmur came from inside the room:

“It’s all right……everything’s fine……”

Trembling words, said as if to convince herself as she softly sobbed. She probably had to muster everything in her to put forth this request. In her heart, those selfish people, those jealous people, and those people who wouldn’t hesitate to kill others for their own benefits ought to receive punishment. But in the end, she still spoke such words to me because she wanted to carry out the old man’s last wishes.

I turned to look at Aleya and Aleya also turned to look at me.

When our eyes met, I asked:

“What do you think? Should we let those people live?”

Aleya calmly replied:

“Young master’s wish is my command.”

I chuckled and as I was doing so, the corner of my lips gradually started dropping.

I felt my voice turn a bit chilly.

“Living, are they worthy of it?”
