“Kuhum…! My name is Karios Gerald. I work as a white collar for the government in my country. I don’t have any special features about me except for my snake like eyes. Nice to meet you, Lady Vivian!”

I tried to introduce myself in a self-important manner just to sound a bit imposing! I bet she doesn’t know what a white collar meant. Huh?! How strange! Why is she looking at me with that pitying eyes?!

“I see… So you work as a slave for your country huh?! No wonder you don’t have any manner… don’t worry! I won’t punish you for your rude behavior. You just have to learn how to behave from now on. Umu!”

Huh!? Slave? W-well it’s not wrong but… Wha… W-what is this painful feeling in my heart?! Kuuhh… God d*mn it! Aahh… I can feel my face redden from shame. A sense of defeat and shame filled my heart.

“I… You’re not wrong but… you’re also wrong…”

“Hmm!? Did I get it wrong? What a strange sounding name for a job.”

“Kuh… forget it! So where are we going? You said that we will be hunted by all of the races in this world right? Sigh…”

I don’t want to be humiliated any further. So I changed the subject, I know that this is our turning point. If we go to somewhere without planning first, it would be really dangerous. I want some general idea of the place we’re going to.

“Muuu… Who said that all the races in the world going to kill us? All I said is that the six races in this continent will hunt us down. It’s not like I cannot go to other continent, right?! It’s true that I don’t have a place to go, but running away and finding it is another thing. Am I wrong?!”

“No.. Well… Uh.. T-then how many race are there in this world? I think I need to know more about this world first… And you’re surprisingly calm… Are you not going to take revenge or something? Uhmm… you are a demon lord right?”

“FORMER Demon Lord… Why should i?! It’s a waste of time. I lost not because I was overpowered by them, I lost because of the scheme of those dirty human. It’s embarrassing if I go back right? So I decided to not go back, even if they come after me, I can just fight and kill them! I’m not going to fall to their scheme again!”

She emphasized the word ‘Former’ really loudly. Her expression looked really annoyed while narrowing her eyes at me. I know that she lose the fight against the Hero, but how? What happened in that castle? Why is she so calm? I just have a lot of doubt and question to ask her.

“Wait, wait, wait. I’m confused here… let me ask you again, how did you lose to that man wearing a metal armor?! And what scheme are you talking about?”

“Aarrgghh... you ask too many question you idiot. Let me make it simple. One of the human have a strong magic user. Yes. It’s that b*tch Saint! She used a strong illusion magic to that metal armor bastard, she disguised him into one of my follower! The reason I lost to that sh*t is because I just drank a strong poison, I used almost all of my Mana to erase it. You get it now? And let me tell you! Almost all of the servant in the castle has been replaced by those bastards from the church!”

I see, I understand now! She lose because she is stupid… Normally, one would notice if there is something wrong with their follower. Or maybe the magic really is that strong? But for her to not notice it, it must be a strong magic… So is the Saint stronger that her?! I know of the reason and I have another question to ask her… I bet she’ll be annoyed if I ask again…

“I see. I’m not going to ask for more detail for now, but I have this two question I want you to answer. One. Why are you so calm? You are a ruler, you have this responsibility as a ruler right? So why are you calm?! Your kin are being hunted and killed as of now. Why are you not feeling angry?”

“…..”

When I asked her that, her face annoyed face disappeared and replaced by a cold and expressionless face. I feel a chill from seeing her like that. She then started to look down to hide her expression. I knew it! There must be something wrong here! F*ck… it definitely not that simple! How can it be so simple?! It is war you know… War… Even an ignorant fool like me know the meaning of ‘War’.

“…..”

“…..”

W-what is this?! It became so awkward! W-what exactly happened, really… Just what is she doing when she became a Queen? God I have so many question… She said that her magic power is strong! But… Damn just answer it will ya?

“Le… Let me ask another question… W-what have you been doing as a Queen all this time?”

When I asked her that, she jerked her body and she started to tremble. Huumm??? Why’s her ears became red?! D-don’t tell me… I have this hunch that she is one hell of an amazing Queen. So amazing that she neglected her duties… It’s not like that right!? Hahahaha….

“…..Once upon a time… there is a very strong and prideful king, he was so strong that no one could fight him. His pride is so high that it almost reach the heaven. All he do is nothing but wait and fiddling around while his subordinates do the most work in his place. Except for fighting, he will not do anything…”

“A-ahahaha… W-what a-are you talking about I wonder… Th-that kind of ruler is trash, who would do that! A-ahahaha…”

I started to tell the story about a certain king in my world. I guessed that she is that kind of ruler, so I change it to match her current predicament. And as expected! When I’m done telling the story, she raised her head in an awkward motion. She laughed lifelessly with a look of listlessness as her eyes wander around.

I-i was right!! This girl really…. An idiot!!! But then again… I’m blind!! She is so cute and adorable… Who cares about anything else?!

“Don’t worry, no matter what you have done in the past, I still like you! Yeah!!”

“…..”

Look at her dumbfounded expression!!! So priceless!! And that slightly parted lips really looks adorable!! Hahahaha… I moved my gaze away from her to regain my calm, and tried to think of other thing… But really, where are we right now?! We have been staying like this for a long time now, but no one come after us.

“Ehem… Vivian, where are going now!? And how are we going to get out from here?”

“You… Sigh… I will get back at you for this!! Hmph! If we get out from here, the saint will notice us. Why do you think I’m wasting my time standing around talking with you?! Unlike you, I’m gathering my Mana to use a space time magic. I’m going to tore open the space and get us out from here.”

Space time magic!! Tore open space!!! F*ck what a chuunibyou like phrase… But I like it!! I want it too! So the reason she stopped me from going forward is because of the saint huh. Why do I feel this feeling of disappointment!

She still looked really annoyed, well I guessed why she doesn’t want to go back being a Queen after all… this idiotic woman… I want to ask her many more question about this world, but I think this is not the right place for it.

Seeing me staring at her with a loving gaze, her face started to redden. She averted her eyes from mine while looking really adorable. I keep watching her cute face while making a silly grin on my face.

“Can you stop looking at me like that? It’s disturbing! And you better get ready, i have gathered enough magic to use the space magic.”

“Nope, you’re too cute and adorable after all! Hell yeah!! When are you going to use it!?”

I can’t help but be excited when I heard that she was about to use the space magic. I really want to experience this so called space magic! His first experience about magic is quite vague after all.

“…. Now!”

“Wha…”

Before I can speak my mind, i can see the space around us started to distort and cracked. I was so frightened that I jumped to her side and started to hug her really hard. My brain feel as if it was being torn apart, it was hurt so much that I started to lose my consciousness. Before my consciousness faded completely I can feel my hand grabbed something soft and round thing. I give it a few squeeze before my sight filled with darkness.

...

…..

…….

When I came to, I felt the feeling of being tossed face-down once again. Wait… No, it’s the first time, probably. But my face crashed into a soft carpet this time.

My hands and feet were tied behind me, it was like a pig tied up to a pole on New Year. I had no way of raising my head in that position, so I could only chew on the woollen carpet. A cold sweat started to appear on my forehead. W-what happened to me? Did I get caught?! Did she leave me behind?

Before I could think of anything else. I can hear a sound of water splashed.

I tried my best to move my body, squirming around like a worm. After so much work, I can finally see what in front of me.

I can see that there is an extravagant red screen, from looking around I think that I am inside a massive tent, I can see that the floor is covered by a luxurious woollen carpet. In the centre of it was a huge wooden tub.

Actually, it would be more accurate to describe it as a wooden bathtub. My mind spun at a high frequency! I know what is going on now!! That bitch is taking a bath!!

I can see a blurry figure a woman with a voluptuous body within the bathtub.

The water in the tub wasn’t completely transparent, so I imagine some sort of famous and expensive scents or bath-salt had been added in there. Red flower petals gently floated on top of the water.

The woman sat in the water looking very comfortable. She rested her long and slender calf on the edge of the bath-wall. Her lotus-root shaped toes looked smooth and white like congealed fat. Her toe-nails, which were like the crescent moon, didn’t have a single mark on them. If she wasn’t moving her toes non-stop, anyone would’ve thought they were perfect statues made from marble.

The parts of her body above her slender well-proportioned calves were in the water. They attracted one’s eyes as they flashed, following the water’s movement.

She silently soaked in the water and enjoyed her hot bath. However, she seemed to be pondering something, her face looked really happy and yet complicated.

I could not help but swallow my own saliva, my adam apple moved slightly.

Maybe she heard me gulping, so she stood up from the water as her perfect breast jiggled bringing along the creamy liquid, making it look slightly erotic.

She looked at my direction but she didn’t mind herself. Instead, the woman chuckled softly and then lay back down.

She looked at my direction with an upturned eyes, giggled softly, and said, “What are you looking at!? Hmmm… What? Do you feel uncomfortable!?”
