Chapter 111.1: The Ugly Demon King’s Child (Act 6 Epilogue II)
◆Selkie Girl; Inura
「And then, that honorable personage placed me on his lap before he gently brushed my hair.」
「「「KYAAAAAAAA!」」」
The women in the village all raised a shrill voice.
「My head felt all rosy when that gentleman caressed my head.」
「「「KYAA!! KYAA~! INURA IS SO LE~WD!」」」
The women then each clattered their leg non stop. Like me, they were all in their true seal form.
「What are you doing, Inura?」
My big brother, Inul, arrived in the middle of my friends’ and I’s happy chat.
「Ah, big brother Inul. I’m telling them about that honorable personage we met.」
My big brother revealed a subtle expression on his face when I said so. Unlike me, he was really scared of that honorable personage. But, he honestly wasn’t wrong in feeling that way. Even Nargolians felt fear when they faced that man. That’s why big brother’s attitude was normal.
And yet, he was really kind toward me. I really wanted to meet him again.
「I see… Well, that matter aside, I will convey your wishes when I go out next time.」
My big brother said, trying to change the subject.
「Where are you going next time?! That personage’s place?!!」
If that was the case, I really wish he’d take me with him.
「Well, it’s a bit close, but no. Also, I can’t take you with me; you’ll be house-sitting.」
「Bu~h.」
My big brother spoke coldly as he rejected my request. Well, it can’t be helped I guess. He might scold me if I insist. I have no choice but to bear with it for now. I’ll be able to take human form soon anyway.
Selkies could only transform when strong emotions were involved. If a Selkie didn’t have the longing to transform, then they would stay in their seal form. In my case, I wanted to transform.
Thus, I definitely will transform into human form. And then, I’ll be able to reunite with that personage!
Thus, I had to be an obedient child for now and house-sit properly.
◆Dark Knight; Kuroki
I went to the Demon King’s Castle today. Polen had captured a Kraken for her father Modes, which made him deeply impressed. And so, he decided to hold a small banquet for her. Though I didn’t like these banquets filled with liquor, since I didn’t drink, I decided to come since Modes had invited me himself.
「Fuh, I somehow came out of it safely.」
The backlash of draconic power had somehow been suppressed. I ended up in a half-frenzy state due to this uncontrollable power. What would have happened if it weren’t for Rena appearing?
It happened the moment Rena stood in front of me. An emotion completely different from violence swelled up from within. Thanks to that emotion I had managed to keep my draconic power in check.
It’s vexing but I owed Rena for that.
Nevertheless, the problem was what happened later.
After Polen and the others left the Sweet Castle, leaving me alone with Kuna, I almost lost my sanity. Though I couldn’t remember the details of what happened later, I might have done something really bad to Kuna.
Currently, Kuna was sleeping peacefully in the Sweet Castle. I will apologize to her when I go back later. For some reason though, I vaguely remember that it wasn’t just Kuna… maybe Rena was with us too.
Well that must be just my imagination. Such a thing was too good to be true after all.
Yeah, it was definitely my own imagination, a fleeting wish. As if such a beauty would be willing to do that with me. That rosy night at Rox Kingdom must be an illusion too.
It feels too realistic to be just a dream or an illusion though.
Well, I should stop this wishful thinking.
I shook my head to clear my mind.
I shouldn’t think about pervy things now.
After entering the Demon King’s Castle, the orc gatekeeper let me in, and a court lady guided me along the way.
The court lady was called Ranka Empusa (Orchid Flower Female Mantis). She was amongst the most beautiful in the Empusa (female mantis) race.
The Empusas’ main duty was to act as receptionists for the nobles. They looked just like a beautiful woman at glance.
But, any man who wanted to woo them would think twice before doing that as their true form was that of a giant mantis with bronze legs. Moreover, despite their slender figure, they were crazy strong. And since they were Archwitch Heqat’s kin, their magic was really powerful, the average monster couldn’t hold a candle against them.
In the first place, inviting an Empusa was equal to death because to them, all males who mate with them were food. The number of males they captured with their transformed arms and made love to passionately were more than just one. And then, they ate those males as they drowned into an ephemeral dream.
The Ranka Empusa guided me toward the banquet hall. Many people had already gathered inside. I heard it was a small banquet and yet, all the top brass of the Demon King’s Army had actually gathered in this place.
I thought it was just a short notice event, but turns out Modes was really happy.
I expressed my gratitude to the court lady and entered the banquet hall. Thereupon, the dark elf maid who spoke with a man with a goat head came toward my direction.
「IF IT ISN’T YOUR EXCELLENCY! YOU CAME AT THE RIGHT MOMENT!! PLEASE SAVE ME!!」
The dark elf maid said so and went to hide behind my back.
Though I was wondering what she was talking about, I realized what she meant as soon as I saw the man with the goat head who spoke with her before.
The Phantom Demon General, Vahmed.
He was the same as Putina, the beast demon general, also one of the eight demon generals. Vahmed, who had a pair of crow-like wings on his back and a goat head, was Loughas, the prime minister’s kin.
It’s just that different from Loughas, who was a literal lump of knowledge, Vahmed was a lump of worldly desire.
He was used to being waited upon by beautiful female humans that he captured inside his mansion. Naturally, the beautiful dark elf was also amongst his targets.
「If it isn’t Your Excellency. Long time no see. I see that you’re not coming with your beautiful Silver-Haired wife. Truly regrettable. Her beauty is truly a sight for the sore eyes after all.」
Vahmed said so with a smile on his face.
「Kuna can’t come today, General Vahmed. Rather, are you trying to make things hard for this girl?」
「No, not at all. She is just being shy. Nufufufu.」
Though I indirectly requested him to step back, Vahmed was unwilling to take a step back.
Should I use my authority here?
「General Vahmed!!」
Suddenly, someone called Vahmed from behind.
When Vahmed turned his large build around, a court lady had already stood behind him.
「I-If it isn’t Head Court Lady-dono!!」
Vahmed greeted the other party with a stuttering voice.
The one who called Vahmed was Enshema.
She, the Empusa lord and faithful disciple of Heqat, was the one who stood on the apex of the attendants and court ladies who worked in the Demon King’s Castle. She had the highest position amongst the court ladies—THE court lady of court ladies.
In addition, properly speaking, her rank was still above the eight demon generals, below the prime minister, me, and the Demon King.
Vahmed got flustered the moment Enshema made her appearance.
「I’m truly troubled, general Vahmed. That maid actually has another job waiting for her. But if you insist, I shall offer myself to be your P-A-R-T-N-E-R.」
The moment she said so, Enshema’s arms transformed into extremely sharp sickles.
She was hailed as the Witch of Nightmares, thus it was only natural for her to be powerful.
Vahmed’s face was drenched in cold sweat upon hearing such an offer.
「NONONO!! I SHALL HUMBLY REFUSE SUCH A GENEROUS OFFER!! I SHALL GO NOW, I HAVE SOME BUSINESS TO ATTEND TO SOMEWHERE ELSE!!」
Vahmed shook his head in denial, and left in a hurry.
「T-Thank you for the assistance, Enshema-sama.」
「I’m only doing my duty, Your Excellency. You may return to your post.」contemporary romance
「Y-YES!」
The dark elf left in a hurry when Enshema glared at her.
I heard that Enshema was an extremely strict lady. The punishment to those who make a blunder was really harsh. The dark elf maid who moved to my mansion was the one who told me that.
「Your Excellency must be troubled too. All of us, maids and court ladies in this castle are His Majesty’s after all. One shouldn’t touch us without permission.」
Enshema glared at me as she spoke.
「Eh, no, I’m not doing anything at all…」
「And, Your Excellency. General Putina is looking for you. Please wait for a while here, I’ll go and call the bear maid.」
Maybe because Enshema’s race didn’t have good ears, she misunderstood my situation too.
The bear maid she was talking about was a werebear maid. She was Polen’s personal maid. It seems one needed to be as strong as a werebear to be able to become Polen’s maid.
A while later, a chubby werebear maid came toward me as a guide.
