The four of them then began to chat away. Leila gradually started to loosen around Charlotte and Terence’s unrestrained jokes brought laughter within the group.

“But, you sure are different from the rumors, Lady Charlotte.”

Charlotte looked at Terence a bit puzzled “Really? What do they say? Also, you can just call me Lotte.”

Terence smirked. Leila and Leo were also a little aware of the rumors surrounding Charlotte, thus looked rather worried. “I heard that you were on a far higher level compared to Lady Marionette’s arrogance and haughtiness. But that isn’t all, apparently you like to beat the servants and if anyone who crosses you displeases you, you throw them in the dungeon.”

Charlotte carefully listened to each and every word he spoke while stroking her chin “Interesting.” So was that the reason why all the servants were frightened of her? Surely, that must be the reason. “So we actually had a dungeon huh….”

She was mumbling to herself, so the others didn’t hear what she had said.

“Still, the part about you being vicious seems to be true.” He finished with a last strike

“Ha!” Charlotte giggled “I may have some patience, but not that much. If you cross the line, I can be a lot worse.”

“So where is that line?” he asked out of pure curiosity.

Charlotte smirked while letting out an evil sounding laugh “Fufufu~ if you really want to know, care to try?”

As the crown prince’s guard, he had come across countless dangers even if he was still young. But, when faced with that girl, he couldn’t help but feel a cold chill blow against him. At that moment, he knew. He vowed to never ever under any circumstances get on her bad side. This was a danger different than a life and death situation.

It wasn’t just Terence. Even Leila and Leo thought the same. As if she sensed this, she let out a more carefree laugh “Do not worry that much. Since we are friends, I wouldn’t possibly do anything too drastic.”

(Ah, no. I don’t think that came out right. …well, whatever)

The three let out stiff laughs. Finally, they decided that it was time to head back inside.

Charlotte did a final dance with her father. Leo finally got to dance with Leila and the party soon came to an end.

Changed into her sleep wear, Charlotte gazed at the stars from her balcony. She was humming the tune that played while she was dancing while stroking Puff Puff’s head.

Today was a lot of fun. Aside from Iris and Lilly, now she had made other friends, but also enemies it seems.

But all’s well that ends well.

Today was a day she was able to forget all about her worries. The things that happened in the game and who she really was, it seemed as if she was dreaming. Her troubles seemed so far away.

After a while, Puff Puff left to go back to his home. Wherever that may be.

“If only this peace could last forever….”

After that day, she returned back to her usual routine.

Training in the morning with Iris and Lilly, lessons in the afternoon and free time till night. A life without worries.

That was why; she had completely forgotten something which she should not have.

She was not Charlotte.

Charlotte should have died long ago.

Her father was supposed to become filled with evil.

Because she prevented all that, a new trouble arose.

Without a villain, how could the game progress?

No, there always needed to be a villain. That was just how this world was programmed.

Far far away from the human territory, shrouded by darkness and miasma, a pair of red glowing eyes looked down upon his subjects.

Around him, he carried an air that could send someone with a weak sprit straight to the next world. An appearance that was not human. Two twisted horns, two long sharp fangs, skin as black as the night.

The devil king that should have awakened only after 10 years had already awoken and gathered his army.

“What of the humans?”

A deep and heavy sinister voice resounded.

“My king, they have yet to know of your awakening. Should we purge them while they are unprepared?”

The lord of vampires and 4th general of the devil army suggested with his head slightly bowed.

“General, what do you think?”

A youthful looking woman then lifted her head. Pink glowing eyes, two horns and a long sharp black tail with two black wings on her back; she was a succubus and the 2nd general the devil army..

“Although it is a splendid idea, if the humans were to retaliate and also form an alliance with the other races, in our current state victory will be uncertain.” She had an enchanting voice that could even enchant women, much less men.

“They are just but pitiful humans. If you wish to get rid of them all at once then it would be better to do so now, no?” standing next to devil king was yet another demon. Pale skin, black wings, two twisted horns, red lowing eyes filled with hatred as she smiled sinisterly. Lilith, the demon lord of wrath, second in command of the entire devil army.

The surrounding greenery had long ago polluted. Not even a tree’s trunk was left behind. The devil king and his generals had finally assembled after three centuries of slumber. The world had enjoyed its peace, the age for chaos has finally returned.
