《That Time I got reincarnated as… The Demon Lord’s butler?!》Ch 19. A Dangerous Place
Advertisement
We began to walk the corridor where we were. There were no doors to any room, so we kept on walking straight for a while. There was a strange aura, a weird feeling about everything. The place was really quiet and the patron of the wallpaper, the constant furniture and vases along with the fact that there were no doors… It was like a big dejavu. Finally, someone decided to talk.
“What a strange place, huh? Fufu~”
It was indeed, but no one of us dared to say it. You could see that Kirwha was on guard, but Fynx on the other side was really relaxed, like nothing it's going to happen, no matter how much we walked.
“A weird place, indeed. A very sophisticated trap.”
“Oh! So you noticed, Child, what about you, Butler-san?”
“I'm not a child, I’m 16.”
“Noticed? What should I have noticed?”
I started looking around, in front of us and behind, the wallpaper, the furniture, the windows. That was it, it was all the same! Now that I look outside I can clearly see the place from where we jump, even if we have been walking for more than 10 minutes! The furniture and everything looked the same, because they were indeed the same stuff. There was something even more disturbing: All windows were closed.
“That right Butler-san, Bravo! Fufu~”
Kirwha looked confused at Fynx words, I haven't said anything after all. Was my expression that obvious? No, I know deep inside that there is something more than that, something terrifying behind her words, she can…
“Okay, Let's go! Fufu~”
With those words Fynx cut my train of thought. What is she planning? I can somehow imagine her plan.
“Since going straight is taking us nowhere, we are going through these walls! I'm a genius, right? Fufu~”

“Sounds right, we can't go on like this.”
“...”
This time Kirwha was the one who responded at Fynx’s idea and I was the one who stood silence. There was no way that I could agree with that plan! But I don't have a better idea to offer them. Are we trapped? Yes. Are we in a hurry? Yes. Are we strong? Yes. There was no way I could reject her idea, even if it's the worst plan that we could come up with. We'll draw everyone’s attention if we go around the place breaking every wall. What's worse about it, is that we still don't know where exactly the magic item is.
“Don't think so much about this, Butler-san! We’ll strike our problems away. Hiyaaa!”
With those words Fynx broke the wall of Lord Oldman’s house. The wall crumbled and opened a path to another room. But there was more than dust and rubble in the air, there was mana on it, like if she had broken a magical barrier along with the house’s wall.
The next room had a big wooden table in the center. Arround, there were twelve chairs, five on every side and one in each of the head spots. Over the table, there was a lot of delicious-looking fancy food. The food was still warm and the aroma filled the whole room. Everyone's belly growled, mine included.
Fynx rushed towards the food without any second thought. It was clearly another trap, even a kid could know that, even more, if there was a kid in this room (besides Kirwha), the kid wouldn't fall in such an obvious trap. But Fynx is an airhead, she rushed towards the food and stopped right in front of a plate with a beef as big as her head.

“This is clearly a trap, you know, Child, Butler-san? So you better grab something before something happens, because I'm eating this beef with or without you guys. Fufu~”
She was drooling while saying that. Kirwha walked towards the table with caution and grabbed an apple.
“Oh come on! There's beef right there, beef! It'll help you grow!”
“...”
Kirwha was still on guard, but Fynx was ready to eat. I let out a big sigh, this is really stupid. Who falls into a trap on purpose? I walked towards the table to choose my food. But I don't have much time for that, Fynx’s saliva is falling in the beef’s plate, so she won’t hold on any longer. I grabbed a turkey leg
“You know, Fynx? I’ll blame you for whatever happens next…”
“Yeah, yeah. Let 's eat!”
We bit our food at the same time. It was really delicious, the essence, the texture, the temperature, everything was so nice. You could see a pleased expression on Kirwha’s and Fynx’s faces, it seems that their food was perfect too. It was clearly the food of one of the most powerful aristocrats of this city, there was nothing bad on it, but...
When we were about to reach a second piece of food, it happened, the thing that everyone was waiting to happen, finally happened. It was a trap after all, if only there had been a way around it. But that's asking so much, these girls are powerful, but they are just a pair of airheads.
Kirwha and I fell on our knees. Poison or Sleep magic, What is this? Fynx was still on her feet, she was trembling and her eyes… Her eyes were still fixed on the food! She doesn't care about us, she is trying to reach another piece of food before falling to the ground!
Kirwha is coughing, laying on the ground. I feel my body is really cold and my vision has started to blur. But Fynx… She is still trying to reach the food! She is such an unreliable partner! She finally grabbed the meat and then fell to the ground. Now she is trying to eat another bite!
Kirwha has stopped moving, her eyes are closed and she looks really pale. My body is hard to move, it feels really heavy and cold.
Fynx finally took another bite of the food, and stayed still. Her face was the one of someone who has reached the greatest amount of pleasure on earth. You could forgive everything if she looked at you with that face. But no! This is clearly her fault, there's no other way to look at this situation!
“Damn you Fynx!...”
“It was delicious… I’d take another bite if I could...”
“You little…”
“Fufu~”
The room went silent. The three of us had fainted at the most obvious and stupid trap of the world.

Rise of the Firstborn
[A participant in the Royal Road Writathon Challenge]As the inhibitor rises and the eternal flame is quenched, our lands shall be freed, and only then will the Princess be set to flee. It began with ice. A relentless, bone-chilling tickle of frost that stretched across the lands of Axulran, crawling over the mountain crests and freezing the grassy meadows. Frozen in time, the kingdom fought for political control all across the region of Ellixus, paying no mind to the death and torment they may cause along the way. Cateline Bennett, a princess consumed with ice, found herself lost in a foreign kingdom with nothing but her wits to survive. As she explores this unknown land, she unravels her past and discovers that the magic she had concealed for so long could unleash chaos so intense, it could destroy the world as she knew it. With her untapped magic and new friends, Cateline must vanquish the enemies that threatened the world of Denzethea as they knew it, else they, and all they knew, would crumble to ruin. NOTE: A review on this fiction has indicated that certain themes were traumatizing. While I believe this to be exagerated, I have added the appropriate tag for those who may be sensitive to those themes (fever dreams, delusions, and trials and tribulations).

The Harrowbird's Crown
(Formerly: Tales of a Harrowed House) Synopsis: This is the tale of an exiled royal family who, after their bloody reunion on the island of Providence, return to a war-torn homeland where once more, powerful forces pit sibling against sibling in a bid for the crown — and once more, the magical streets of Auctor echo their infamous motto: “Fire will Reign as Harrowbirds Soar!” From his humble beginnings as a shoemaker’s son, his year spent as a daringly brazen orphan caught between rivaling Houses and a mad ghost, and his fight for the crown after his return to Auctor, Corbyn faces a coming-of-age story unlike any before him as he discovers magic and birthright are two things he never knew he had. From the intimate narrative of a childhood that was never her own, her year spent struggling to find the person she is rather than the person her family needs her to be, the secrets she hides, and the truths she finds, Halle discovers herself on the fabled island of Providence as her House collapses around her, bids to enter a legendary school of magic in her homeland of Auctor, and fights for a crown she never knew she wanted. A high-action, character-focused story written with a poet’s styling, The Harrowbird’s Crown is a tale that will transport readers into the conflict and conquest of a royal family back on the rise. General Information: This story is more traditionally plotted. While the beginning may seem to start out slowly, when shit hits the fan: the action is constant, the mysteries are satisfying, and the character development is rewarding. Chapters are usually between 2.5-3.5 thousand words (though some, like the first and second chapters, can run up to 5k words). When it’s long it means that the chapter will just have that much content in it. There’s Action, Mystery, Fantasy, Comedy, and some Psychological undertakings. Romance hasn’t come up yet, but it may in future chapters. I try to have chapters out every Sunday at 7:00 CST Book One: The Ghost of Providence
