Description:
I was the last demon king, the strongest and greatest creature in the demon world.
I’m the best.
…I mean, until I die after being betrayed and killed by the humans who served me.
“When you’re born again, you’ll have to do good things. If you don’t want to live a worse life than a small creature.”
To break the curse I received before I die, I must do good deeds!
The goal is to regain money, power, and fame, and live a life that takes a lot of benefits.
Even if the body that entered at the best was a human kid, the ugly duckling of the family.
This genius and cuteness! And there is nothing that can’t be solved with this beauty(?)
In order to grow into such a great Demon King, I work hard every day—.
“I don’t fall for cute things. No matter how much you wear a lace dress and tilt your head with cookies in both hands.”
“…you were hiding your true skills. A clever thing.”
“Hey, you! They said you brought another boy! Do you think he can be your new brother?!”
“Oh, for your information, even just now, my soul and body were almost separated by the shock because the Lady was cute. It’s inevitable because you’re very cute.”
“You know. You’re the only one for me, Esther.”
There’s something wrong with the people around me.
No, there’s really something strange about it.
Chapter 1
Kukukuku—!
I was the last demon king left and the world’s strongest and greatest creature when the human world and the demon world were one world.
I’m the best.
When I tingled my finger once, the earth shook, and both humans and demons bowed their heads.
However, when the heavens broke the rules and invaded the demon realm, chaos came to the human world.
I was sacrificed to protect people who begged for life, but at the last moment, I was betrayed and died.
Was it because my mission as a great demon king had been achieved successfully?
After that death, for some reason, I was unable to enter the samsara, and I was wandering around Gucheon.
(ORIGINAL TRANSLATOR'S NOTE*: Samsara meaning is the cycle of death and rebirth to which life in the material world is bound. While Gucheon is a place believed to be the destination for the soul of a dead person.)*
And it’s been going on for a thousand years.
‘I’m bored.’
I, who became a soul, was still floating around in the spirit world today without even being reincarnated.
“Help me, God.”
Suddenly, I heard a voice somewhere.
‘—A voice?’
(ORIGINAL TRANSLATOR'S NOTE: They put is as 전음 and the meaning transmit/deliver voice to a distant/very far away place/destination, but I’m not really sure how to put it ;;)
No, that can’t be true.
This voice is possible only when there is a body, but I was a soul.
Besides, it’s not me who’s calling, isn’t it a God of misfortune?
“I don’t want to be hated. God, why am I the only one—, why was I born a monster? Am I a bad kid? I’m just born like this. I also—”
A hazy blue light hovered near my soul, sending out a sound mixed with sobs.
“It’s hard, it’s painful, God. God, help me. All I want is—”
This was the world of spirit. It was impossible to hear the voice of the living.
So if the owner of this voice was alive, the conclusion was one.
The owner of the voice stands at the boundary between life and death.
‘It’s a poor and pitiful life.’
They usually don’t have the ability or strength to live even if they want to, and that doesn’t mean that they are not remorseless enough to give up on life.
“I’ll give you everything. God, God, no, it’s okay even if it’s a demon, so anyone is fine—. Please help me. I also— want to be happy.
It was that moment.
Suddenly, I felt that my soul was suddenly sucked into somewhere.
I felt like I was being dragged helplessly without overcoming the power of a strong tornado.
‘What is this!’
And for the first time, I lost the mind that had always been clear for a thousand years.
*****
A cool breeze blew in.
‘It’s cold—’
I crouched down in the shivering cold, and when I couldn’t take it any longer, I opened my eyes and stiffened.
‘It’s cold?’
I’m already dead so how can it be cold?
As soon as the question began to dig in, the blurry vision gradually became clearer.
What I see is high and dark, a black sky and a body that can’t even mingle.
And it was a small hand that wasn’t that big.
My cheeks were numb, and my whole body was trembling.
“Uhh—”
My lips were frozen or not open properly, and a cheap, musty-smelling blanket was wrapped around my body without sincerity.
I struggled to get up.
‘Where am I?’
I could see an empty place like a warehouse.
Looking around, it looked like a room, but not a single piece of common furniture in a normal house exist in here.
The wind blew in through the poorly closed windows, squeaking and swaying the old, rough chandelier, which seemed to have not been managed for quite some time.
His fingertips and skin that had turned blue were as cold as reptiles.
It was a strange feeling as if blood were circulating on the body that had just died.
When I looked down, I saw unfamiliar hands and feet.
“Ow, uwa—?”
I opened my mouth and tried to speak, but only a strange sound came out.
Perhaps because I didn’t use my mouth for a long time, my pronunciation was poor.
No, I didn’t think I’d ever said anything in my life.
Besides, in the spirit world, I only thought in my head and communicated in my head, so it was awkward to say something out of my mouth.
I looked at my wrist.
A black tattoo that looked like a thorn was covering the back of my left arm.
‘The seal of the contract with the demon—?’
I’m dumbfounded.
‘Did I sign a contract with this now?’
This little, young, insignificant thing with the great demon king like me?!
How much resentment did you have to summon me, the demon king who was the wickedest and most ferocious of all time?
“Uuh…”
When I looked down, the hairs all over my body were stood up.
It was only then that I could grasp one more fact.
‘—I can move this body in a very familiar way, even though it’s unfamiliar to me.’
I let out a cold breath and wrapped myself in a blanket that smelled of stinking as much as I could.
‘I, I’ve become a human again—’
Perhaps it was the demon tribe whose power had weakened a long time ago.
‘When I asked the spirits who came in recently, the human demons seem to be being persecuted—’
(ORIGINAL TRANSLATOR'S NOTE: I don’t know how to call it so I just put it as human demons since it’s a demon with a human appearance. 😂)
The human demons were one of several races of demons.
They appeared in human form, probably because they were the race with the most interaction with humans among the demons, and they seemed to have survived the human world quite a bit even after the war.
It would have been easier to hide because it could take human form.
As a result, I heard that a heretical interrogator was trying to identify the human demons.
‘Yeah, so, is this the owner of the voice that summoned me?’
I even understood that I had entered into this body by signing a contract with the human demon tribe that summoned me.
However, there was a problem.
Even though I have a body, I can’t feel my magic as a great demon king at all.
I don’t know why. Then I stood up and thought about it for a while.
‘Come to think of it, I—I think I was cursed before.’
A very old memory suddenly came to mind.
‘Curse—’
When I thought of that, my backbone suddenly pulled.
My body was drooping as if I had lost energy.
No matter how much I used to be a great Demon King, this situation without a single magic power was very frustrating.
So, when I was still the Demon King, there was a time when I played a prank on the temple where the heavenly Gods cherished.
‘The problem was that they were annoying.’
Anyway, I was cursed by one of them that time.
“If you die and are reborn, you will have to do good enough things to forgive your sins and build up your virtues.”
“What? Are you old? Why should the great King be like that?”
“If you don’t, you will end up living a life worse than small creatures.”
“Wow, you’re really old. You used to eat for promotion, but how can you be so narrow-minded about the curse? Yeah, well, it’s a good thing, there’s nothing that can’t be done.”
Maybe he didn’t like my provoking remarks, so when I was about to die, the heavenly God came back and put another shackle on me.
“You’re still arrogant at this point. No matter how notorious you are, you will have a chance of reincarnation as the demon who has made such achievements. If you don’t realize the sincere consideration and sacrifice even after you die and be reborn like this, then whatever you do will be useless.”
“You’re misunderstanding about one thing. This position isn’t arrogant, it’s just genius and great. I can bring a coward like you and your body down to the floor at any time even if it’s born as a small creature.”
“I will praise you for being calm in the face of death, Agreas.”
Unfortunately, I died and was unable to be reincarnated after that, so I entirely forgot about such a meaningless curse.
Because a curse is only established when there is a body.
Originally, I was a very strong, powerful, and even beautiful demon king, so the curse from the heavenly God seems to have reached me only now that I was reincarnated in a fragile body.
My magic power was firmly sealed according to the curse.
In fact, if you were born as a pure-blooded demon, you wouldn’t have to worry about such a seal.
Usually, when a new demon king is born, the demon takes them and gives them nutrients until they grow up.
But—.
‘I already don’t have it.’
The demons lost the war, the demon realm locked the door, and there were no pure blood demons left.
‘But I, who used to be the Demon King, made a contract with this bloody thing!’
I fell on the floor when I saw clear evidence of the contract.
There was only a large full-body mirror in the empty room.
In the dark, a shabby figure could be seen at first glance.
‘First, I’ll close the window.’
Who in the world left the window of the room with a child open in this cold winter?
‘Things that even vicious demons wouldn’t do!’
My body was stiff when I got up. I managed to get out of my awkward position, but it had stiffened.
‘How did you— walk?’
I lived without physical strength, so I forgot how to walk. In addition, this body had no muscle strength.
I staggered back and hung from the window, barely able to keep my balance.
It was at that moment when I barely sighed, closed the window and went back to my seat.
The strength of the legs that were stretched out in front of me suddenly went away, and my body suddenly fell forward.
‘Huh? Well, this is—’
It’s cold, even colder than before, I covered my whole body. It’s like taking all of my clothes off.
I couldn’t tell what was in front of me.
Damn it.
‘I can’t believe I, who was the great one, passed out— I can’t believe it—’
That was my first and last memory after reincarnation.
*****
When I opened my eyes again, it was about the time when a loud noise was hitting my ear.
“—sigh! Is it time for you to sleep peacefully?”
“Ugh—”
“Just eat the meal! Hurry up and wake up!”
Who dares say something like this to me?
I managed to lift my heavy eyelids. And I could see the people surrounding me.
They probably maids just by looking at it.
I got up from the floor hearing the shout.
Perhaps because of the small body, the visibility was low and the eyes of the maids were high. I was even ***** when they took off my clothes.
“How dare insignificant people are commenting on my greatness?”
I was going to say that but—.
“Uwa! Uwuw…wu..”
‘I can’t believe it.’
I felt like I was about to lose my mind, and my small body staggered.
The races of the previous Demon Kings were diverse.
Anyone who was strong enough to be recognized by the Demon God could become a Demon King.
There were times when they were human demons, nightmares, and beasts, and there were times when they were demons with horns and bat wings on their backs in human forms, which is what most humans think of when they hear the word ‘demon.’
I remember that there were also vampires, undead, and dragonians mixed with humans.
After I died and the demons were defeated, the door to the demon world was closed and the demons almost disappeared.
As the last demon king, I was a human demon race. It’s also rare now, but back then it was much rarer than that, a mixed-race of demons and humans.
What was funny was that this body now is also a half-mixed demon too.
Besides, the blood of demons is quite thick.
‘You look very young.’
Usually, the demon race grows slowly.
So, perhaps this body, which is a mixed-race demon, maybe older than it appears.
‘What’s the point of having another body if it’s also mixed blood?’
I was angry that this possessed body was trapped in the small room, but I could understand it.
Because there was a king a thousand years ago to reject the demons race.
But—.
No way!
“Awu!”
Not like a fool who can’t pronounce and can’t speak like this!
“Kyaa, there’s a strange noise!”
The maid freak out and screamed at her.
I glanced at her and got up from the cold floor.
I didn’t know because it’s night, but the floor was marble, which didn’t go well with the empty room.
I moved my arms and legs a few times and waddled to the place where the mirror was.
Somehow I look like a newborn foal.
I saw my reflection in the mirror. The skinny and ***** body was exposed to the point that it was a little unpleasant to look at.
The cold permeated the red cheeks and bare skin.
“How long are you going to be like that? Hurry up and wear it.”
I was trying to gather my weak magical power to get rid of the cold, but a maid threw a piece of rag-like fabric in front of me.
I put the clothes on one by one and checked myself in the mirror once again.
‘Why am I so small, thin, and skinny?’
Maybe it’s because I don’t have enough magical power, but I’m still half-human, right?
I heard that humans have a short lifespan and grow quickly.
Apparently, this body was quite young among those humans.
‘Is this about— three or four years old?’
When I saw human children in the past, it seems that they were of this age if they were of this size.
‘No, considering the slow growth of demons, is it about five or six years old?’
What can I do with such a small and doll-like body?
Will they move properly?
It’s fascinating that it’s alive.
I looked carefully at the body reflected in the mirror.
The body was so small that I wondered if the ratio of the head to the body would be exactly equal to three.
My cheeks and hands were covered with dark stuff, yet my cheeks were plump as if they were full of candy.
When I poked my cheek a couple of times, which looked like a well-puffed dough, I felt a soft feeling.
The skin was new as if it had grown without seeing the light, and the golden eyes were very clear in preparation for that.
My eyes were as golden as when I was a Demon King.
‘It’s the same.’
Originally, the demon race often had bright red eyes or purple eyes, but I, who was of mixed race, had golden eyes.
I thought maybe if I used magic, it would turn red. Just like me in the past.
My long, curly hair was a bright purple color since it had not been well-groomed.
It wasn’t really surprising.
This is because demons are usually born with this color.
Purple hair was like a symbol of the demons.
Perhaps, it is all forgotten in the human world now because most of the demons have disappeared.
‘I think I like my face?’
It won’t be bad as long as they decorate it well.
To be honest, even though I’m not really interested in cute things, this body was cute.
Perhaps, the parents’ appearances are quite outstanding. I moved my arms and fingers around lightly.
It really feels like a small stuffed doll moving.
‘My magic power is still low.’
I quietly touched my chin and thought sadly.
Unfortunately, the most important result didn’t change much.
I still had no magic and my body was very small and fragile.
In order to break the seal of this magic power, I think it is probably necessary to do the ‘good thing’ that God said.
I don’t know what the standard for the good thing is but,
‘Will there be a temple?’
I’m not sure if I have to go there to meet the God who has cursed me.
The Demon King is basically emotionless.
To awaken as a Demon King, you must first kill the previous Demon King and the parents who raised them.
Furthermore, while living as the demon king, they committed several evil acts that were obviously excessive to the misery of others.
Because of that, I received a strange curse to do good things, but I did not know the standards of good deeds well.
‘I think I need a demon beast(魔神獸) too.’
The demon beast was an animal-type in the demon’s race like a divine beast.
In a word, they were like a spirit in the demon race, helping young demons who lacked magic to manage their magic.
There’s nothing that the divine beast didn’t know, so I thought it would be nice to have it.
“Look at that expression that doesn’t change even after seeing my face, how terrible.”
“Well, what can we do? She was born strong after the monster’s blood. That’s why she got this most corner room.”
“If I had a cursed child in my house who couldn’t even say this properly, I would have thrown it out in the past. In fact, which father would raise such a cursed child?”
Two maids from behind were talking very openly.
‘Father?’
It seemed like I had a parent.
“That’s right, it must have eaten the souls of both the Duchess and the mother. That’s why she can’t even open her eyes yet. What’s so nice about a child born like that and to give a comfortable life in the family?”
“Well. Besides, is it pureblood or a man? How did you end up in charge of this place?”
I don’t even think about hiding my voice. I frowned at things that were not trivial.
The body I’m in now doesn’t look like it’s been treated very well.
‘How dare you to me, the demon king—’
I can’t suffer like this.
‘Let’s take a closer look at the situation—’
I have to make it look the same.
“When you are done, get down on your knees and start the purification ceremony!”
What’s the purification ceremony?
The maids grabbed my shoulders and forced me to kneel in front of the mirror.
Then she threw an old book in front of me.
“Don’t take your eyes off the sacred book until we bring your meal. Or I’ll report to His Excellency the Duke that you’ve caused another disturbance.”
There are also quite cute threats.
“It’s all for the sake of the Young Lady. Anyway, you must be happy to be born into a good family.”
They snorted and put Esther’s wrist with something.
‘What the hell is this—’
I’m afraid after finish speaking,
Paak—’
Divine power ignited from her wrist and slightly tightened Esther’s wrist.
The divine power was literally poison to Esther. If she keeps wearing it, her power will disappear.
‘—I’m doomed.’
When I looked down and looked closely, it was a low-class relic with divine power.
‘What is this shabby stuff—!’
It can destroy anything.
‘How long can I go without saying anything?’
I struggle to move my mouth hard with the memories of when I had a body.
My tongue was stiff as if I had not used my mouth for a long time.
“Aham—”
When I pronounced it slowly it was stiff, but fortunately, my tongue moved.
“Aham, Ra… Kassa Naman… Karao… Ddi… Az… A, peuhana.. Kk.. Ddaeyan… Ddeura… Ani.”
(ORIGINAL TRANSLATOR'S NOTE: I think this is like a spell since the author put the meaning after that.)
(ORIGINAL TRANSLATOR'S NOTE: “I, in the name of the Demon King, give a command to destroy the tools in front of me.”)
As I slowly moved my tongue and remembered the word, a slow but familiar demon’s language flowed out.
—However, nothing happened.
Although there was a very small amount of magic power, it seemed that no matter how low-level relics were, they could not be destroyed.
‘I might still be able to use simple commands.’
It’s a very simple one,
Whoosh!
Again, the divine power entered Esther, despite my best efforts to resist. My body is constantly trying to fall.
The flowing divine power has become a little stronger than before.
‘—What the hell am I going to read?’
I hurriedly opened the paper.
There was an ancient language and a translation that seemed to be the human imperial language underneath it.
I can’t read the Imperial language, so I turned it to the ancient language. It was a prayer written in the Bible.
Perhaps this book was also a Bible manuscript.
‘The faithful servant of God dares to tell you. I dare to swear that this little servant will save the daily food that you have given her and that she will live with humility by asking for forgiveness and giving what she has. Please forgive my sins and let your divine will touch the earth, driving evil away. Everything I achieve is an honor you have given me, and even this shabby life is yours forever.’
As I read the prayer silently, I was speechless.
From beginning to end, it was basically a list of words that I hated so much that I couldn’t bring myself to add any modifiers.
To whom do I give everything I have?!
‘Why me!’
I frowned.
‘This is compulsion! It’s a compulsion religious recommendation! It’s like a pseudo! I don’t like the Holy Empire!’
Furthermore, because this was not for demons, no matter how half-demon it was, it would not have been good.
‘That’s why your growth was particularly slow.’
The blessing of this prayer would have been poisonous to the child.
Her body looks quite weak, but she barely endured it with this small body?
I wondered if there was any resentment and earnestness to summon a demon king like me from such a small child.
I thought it must be an error. But it wasn’t.
The surrounding environment is poor and the family is probably not interested in the child.
And it was clear that the maids, who had lost their grip, were directing their anger towards her.
And other family members probably don’t know this.
‘You found it well, kid’
Because she found the right person to make a request.
‘I’m wondering what the contract’s completion condition was—’
Seeing this misery, it was obvious.
Perhaps it was obvious an act of revenge. To take revenge and get rid of this absurd pseudo-religion in the world!
It was clear that she wanted it.
And perhaps revenge for the family who dropped her into this mud like this.
Completion of the contract refers to the end of the contract between the summoned demon and the contractor.
In other words, the contract is terminated.
After achieving what the contractor wanted, the demon race received payment from the contractor at the same time as the contract was terminated.
‘In my case, it’s this body.’
Because the contractor is already dead.
Even if I looked around the body, I could not feel any other traces of the soul.
‘Because I am a genius and a great demon king’
I clenched my fist.
“Dicana!”
(* Revenge!)
I raised my arms with my clenched hands.
After a thousand years of just floating in an unknown space, I finally got a work to do.
The feeling of ‘alive’ that I felt after a long time raised my mood.
‘I will finish it quickly and return to the life of a happy and enjoyable Demon King who is free, leisurely, and sucks honey!’ (Original Translator's Note: suck honey is basically like living a jackpot/paradise life.)
Headaches and complicated things are just disgusting.
The best of those days were when I was living my own life, sometimes beating humans and the Gods, fighting, and rolling the bed.
‘Ha, I want to go back to my prime.’
Whooshㅡ
As soon as the lustful thoughts were over, my skin became numb again. The divine power once again leaked out
Lower-class relics are usually things that nobles seek in order to provide protection to their children, but…
‘It’s poison to me!!’
Don’t you know that I’m a half demon? Or maybe you are deliberately trying to harass me!?
Of course!
Esther was fine as long as her body had recovered to a certain extent and it wasn’t a low-level relic with divine power flowing like this.
This is because the higher the level of the relic, the less power it leaks.
‘Besides, the divine power is green…’
There are also some weird things.
Originally, the divine power was often white or transparent according to their taste.
I have to do good deeds while taking revenge on this family. At the same time, the ultimate goal is to live a happy, comfortable, and very enjoyable life like a rich man.
It’s ironic to think about the coexistence of revenge, good work, and life like a humble quantity.
Come to think of it, I have a lot of work to do.
Still, if the curse is true, the more I do good deeds, the weaker the seal will become, and the stronger the magic I can use.
‘To say that God is good is all bullshit.’
The most cowardly and lowly things in the world are the Gods.
“Phew.”
I lowered my gaze with an annoyed expression on my skin at the piercing sensation.
“Marina asr sansrsti pasu…”
(* “The faithful servant of God dares to…”)
First of all, let’s read it.
I didn’t know the Imperial language, so I started to read the first sentence slowly with my eyes while translating the ancient language into the Demon language.
What is surprising is that the more I memorized the prayer, the more my divine power began to diminish.
‘What kind of divine power will go wild if you don’t read prayers?’
Shouldn’t reading the prayers make the divine power stronger?
‘It’s a really strange holy relic.’
Esther’s eyes were narrowed, then slowly the prayer was recited again.
‘I will never leave you alone…!’
Everyone will bow their heads when they realize how great the Demon Lord is.
“…debitia asi muriya na…”
(* “…repel evil things, and bring the poor us out of evil…”)
Reluctantly, I pretended to read slowly because I didn’t know when the maids would come.
Ugh, you really narrow-minded and dirty Gods. What kind of sacred prayer is this?
Gods are such a pathetic bunch. If I don’t memorize these forced prayers, I won’t become a believer.
Gradually, the maids did not appear even though I was joking and reciting the prayers, and only as the sun went down, a maid appeared with a dry face.
“Ah, I’m a little late because I have something to do.”
‘A littleee? A littleeeee?!’
I think I’m going to die of hunger, but that mere creature!
“Here is the food. Pray enough to God and eat.”
I narrowed my eyes at her words.
‘Pray again?!’
I won’t do it!
I can’t!
I said, I won’t do it!
‘Because these things only said ‘do it’, ‘do it’…’
The moment I thought so, a dry, stone-hard loaf of bread rolled over the dusty marble floor.
I looked at the bread that rolled in front of me, hit me and stopped, then I raised my head.
“…Hey!”
As I gathered all my small and precious mana and focused on my tongue, the tongue that felt stiff moved.
“…What, just now you say…?”
“This stupid place!”
By substituting the ancient and imperial languages on the paper, I combined the words to use the awkward imperial language.
“Are you talking to me now?”
“Do yew know who I am!”
It was the first time I used words after gaining the body, and the short pronunciation came out as I was young.
When I even pointed at her, the maid’s face was stained with annoyance.
“What are you saying. You are the Princess of the Duke. Well, to be precise, the abandoned illegitimate Princess.”
“…”
Whoa.
Was I that great?
If it’s a princess, isn’t it a pretty great status among human bloodlines?
“Of course, you are an ‘abandoned’ princess who had nothing compared to others.”
Ah, it seems that the rank is much lower than I thought. Looks like it’s not the same princess as the others.
Oh my, I was excited for nothing.
“Why? Are you going to do something with your rank now?” The maid walked over and pushed my head with her hand. As if it wasn’t enough, she started to touch my cheeks to the point where I could hear a slap on the cheek.
It didn’t hurt at all, but I felt worse than anything else.
“Do it. Who would believe such a cursed dirty princess? You couldn’t even talk until yesterday.”
I clenched my fists as she tapped me on the head.
‘The great Demon King can’t be defeated here.’
I put strength on my eyes… No, my tongue.
“Hey, do ywou like dogs?”
“What did you say?”
“I like it. A dog that listens well.”
“What weird things are you talking about?”
It’s only natural that when one speaks another race’s language for the first time, it sounds like a mess.
“Tebam aham arban bid? Atsunanya.”
(* “Do you understand me? Stupid.”)
The maid’s face heated up at my demonic language.
“You, you!” She pointed at me.
“Are you making fun of me?! No! You are cursing me, right!? You are cursing me!”
As I turned my gaze, my eyes that were reflected in the mirror were dyed from the sparkling gold to bright red rubies.
“I want a dog. You, be my dog.”
“What are you say…! Gasp…You…! eyes…! Report this monster to the Duke immediately…!”
I smiled broadly.
I drew mana from the outside. Although it was a very small amount of magic, it was enough to use a small amount of magic to tame this disgrace.
It may not be possible to force a difficult movement, but a simple one was enough.
“Nitamba!”
(* “Sit down!”)
As soon as I finished speaking, the maid squatted down.
Seeing the shocked look on her face, I brought a chair, climbed up and sat on it, then I smiled softly.
Oh, this sight is nice.
“Tistati.”
(* “Stand up.”)
Welcome to the hell of sitting and getting up.
I had the maid sit down and get up from her seat five hundred times. So, it’s about a thousand times of sitting down and a thousand times of getting up.
It’s a total of two thousand times.
In fact, I was going to make it a little more, but my mana was on the verge of being almost depleted.
Originally, I could have done this to thousands of people hundreds of millions of times.
“Huft… Ple-Please, save me… Ugh, please help me… Please save me. I’ll do anything you tell me, don’t kill me. Please, I was wrong. I did wrong, I was wrong, aargh!!”
When I tapped and touched her hot red thighs, the maid jumped as if a stabbing pain was rising.
The maid was crying as if she was in pain and sad. Not only that, but her pronunciation was even engraved. Perhaps it was because she forced her movements without resting quickly, she seemed to have a lot of trouble.
She was already out of focus as if she was insane.
It was fortunate that the maid came alone. In fact, I wasn’t confident enough to cast a spell on three people at once.
“Tanda.”
(* “Stop.”)
At my command, the maid stopped in her standing position. Her face, full of tears and runny noses in her sparse hair, was a very messed up look.
“Uhm, so, my name is Esther and I’m the Duke’s second child. How many more swecret savings do I have?” I asked, spreading my fingers.
“Yes, uh… Yes… Huh…”
I didn’t say anything, but the maid begged me for what she had done wrong.
As I listened, there were quite a few things that I thought had gone too far.
She told me that she never came because she forgot I was there. She cried and begged that she was sorry, reciting all the crimes I didn’t know.
I slowly traced back the slowly rising memories, groping for unfamiliar emotions. It was as if I was assimilated with the being who was the owner of this body, the ‘I’, who still had no name.
I was born to a father and an unknown woman, the second child of Duke Egbert of the Destroca Empire, the most powerful country in the human world.
Well, I was treated as an illegitimate child, probably as it wasn’t an official marriage because he committed it while running away in his prime days.
This family had a very, very deep preference for boys in pure-bloodism. Besides, it seemed that it was a family that inherited the bloodline of a God that I hated very much.
It seems that he has been the head of the temple heretical inquisitor from generation to generation. It is possible that the blood of demons was mixed in the mother, who was a woman whose name was unknown.
And it was as if I had inherited the blood of that demon in a very thick way.
‘I can’t let the fact that the blood of demons is mixed in this body be found.’
If I get caught by a heretic inquisitor for nothing, I’ll be in trouble.
In the first place, the child of the demons develops slowly if their parents, the demons, don’t constantly supply them with mana.
Because of that, it seems that the original me wasn’t able to speak properly until now.
Of course, as a half, I wasn’t treated properly.
‘It just makes sense.’
The development of the body was slow, but the mind was also developing.
Such a child would have regarded his situation as unreasonable.
So I made a wish to God.
The god of the demons was the ‘Demon God’.
It was clear that my wish to go to the demon had come to me.
As the demons almost disappeared or probably even disappeared, so it must have come to me, the last Demon King, who had the next most powerful power.
I understood the situation roughly.
‘It’s crazy, really.’
First, the goal is set.
I will become a happy being, take revenge, regain all power and honor, and become the Demon King who lives a fun and enjoyable life.
Of course, revenge will require the use of a well-trained dog that has just been tamed.
“Ah, one last time, a question.”
“Yes, yes.”
“Will my dog do it?”
I asked from time to time, but she was the maid who shook her head steadfastly over and over again. I didn’t deliberately ask after a hundred times from sitting down and getting up.
The maid, belatedly realizing that it was her only chance to stop, begged me to let her do it, but I didn’t even pretend to listen.
I finally spoke again of something she must have wanted.
“… I-I’ll do it. Please let me do it. I’ll do it.”
Finally she gave in.
