Dainana Maouji Jilbagias no Maou Keikokuki - Ch. 16.3

[Murdoc09]

That seems kinda dumb unless the prince also shares his ideals

I'm pretty sure the "prince" still retains all his previous memories and convictions.
Ultimately I think the major difference will be the end goal of slaying his father to becoming the next demon lord.

ddaaammmm wasnt expecting another chapter (so soon)

That's why it's a bet, although Alexander could never had pulled it off and he knew it (as in he would have blown his cover up and dealt with them before he could negotiate anything), that was the only chance he had to save her

 

[N2O]

Wait, so the saint is gonna stay dog-mode..?

 

[nobody2002]

It's nice he was able to save his former comrade. Let's hope he can restore her mind.

 

[Willie29]

Doubt there's anything left to save 😐
But the least he could do is give her some fucking clothes 🥲

and take those stumps off too

 

[hsun]

Cover her with a rag at least..

Can someone who's read the web novel ahead of time tell me if he's actually going to let them get away with the horrific cruelty they just described last chapter? Like are they actually going for this "guys come on they suffered too they're not that bad it's war all sides suffer ;_; come on bro" angle? For an apparent demon lord, or someone pretending to be one, he sure doesn't act like it. I mean if someone talked back to a prince in real life the way this guy did you could expect at least a few lashings and maybe a tongue to get cut out, but a demon prince? I half expected him to pin the guy against the wall by the throat, if he had true authority then he wouldn't need to explain himself at all yet instead he pulled the fantasy version of the "my dad's a lawyer" card.

If it is just swept away as water under the bridge please tell me it's at least a result of practicality despite his feelings.

remember theres still the deal with ante. she was promised the ultimate taboo, so he still needs to go through with it. ultimately he still a demon so he probably sees annihilating the demon race in exchange for becoming the demon king and power as a reasonable suggestion

I believe that's pretty important, its one of the many small details they add that shows the the people of the demon society are not inherently evil, they have just been raised in a way that makes them that way. I expect in the process of destroying the demon kingdom he fixes it, so they can live peacefully with the humans.

that is a dark elf child. the hero plans to annihilate the demons but remnants of their followers he will probably reform under him in the end id imagine

Considering he's in competition with his siblings for the status of their father's successor, he actually can't rely too much on his place as just "the son of the Demon Lord". There are six other children of the Demon Lord, and only one of them can succeed their father, after all. The others will, in all likelihood, be killed, along with their supporters.

So what the MC is doing here is proving himself. Proving he has the mindset and charisma of a Demon Lord. Proving he has the ambition to take what he wants. But also proving his magnanimity, and willingness to reward those who give him what he wants. Because that's how you make loyal supporters and allies.

I hope he heals the saintess and lets her go back to being a human who learns the truth and actually helps him

Agreed. If he had just walked out of the place with just his status as the prince preventing anybody from stopping him, then he would have indeed have just played the "my father" card.

But he didn't. In fact, he could have, but he actually turned around and gave Shidar a carrot. Now Shidar is basically his man...and notably, not his father's. Because Jibalgias is the one offering the Metaphase on his own. He's not saying he'll talk to his father about it, this is a deal between only him and Shidar.

Last chapter I noted that this went a bit differently in the WN. Now that there's nothing left to spoil, I can point out how, and its relevant to this. In the WN, Shidar had a much stronger spine. He continued to demand that there has to be some recompense for losing the saintess, even when Jibalgias had already pointed out why they would never be able to make use of her.

In the manga, Shidar certainly seems more like he's ending up as a lackey who lucked out when Jibaligas decided to make use of him when he said he would be the representative. In the WN, the dynamic seemed a bit closer to equal to me, or at least that Shidar was a better politician than in the manga.

i think jilbagias or other demon prince is not immune to this obviously. because lilliana is a gift from the king himself. if the king knew about this and didn't like it, jilbagias would get a trouble. this trade is to shut the elf's mouth to not make a plot against him temporarily

Spoiler: As far as we are on the Tl web novel wise

The Dark dragons and the dark elves are the only ones he's sure he will exterminate regardless of anything, so far the only race he has trouble with is the white tiger one since they actually have a very good reason to be on the demon side (that being humans hunt them for their fur or as sports)

As for his status well everyone and their mothers have more status than him in the demon lord castle, he has no peerage at the moment and as such he benefit from the protection of the demon lord (ie if someones mess with him his father will deal with them)
but no he can't use his father authority either as that would prove him unworthy of becoming the next demon lord
(also once he gets his peerage he's prompt to prove to anyone not to mess with him, though he wasn't the one that started it lol)

Are we still on the road of getting rid of demons and their ilks or not

Well,

Spoiler: Novel Spoilers

He later meets an example of a "good demon", someone who doesn't think "might is right" and might coexist with humans, but 99% of them are still scum, you haven't even seen the worst of it.

Ultimately he gets his own territory to rule where there's at least some collaboration with the conquered humans and non-human races he hopes will rebel against the demons, like vampires and hobgoblins.
