Chapter 1
The Sleeping Beauty (read: Demon King)
7 Brumaire, Year 438 of Continental History
Mirialia entered the cave that she found during her escape in order to avoid rain. When she used light magic to make the cave lighter, she found out that the cave isn't natural cave. The rocks is evenly arranged and the ground is flat like it was created by someone.
”…this cave is not a natural cave.”
Mirialia who saw such sight immediately returned to get out from cave. But the cave entrance which she used a while ago, closed by smooth rock. While clicking her tongue she confirmed that she couldn't get out from there.
”…There is no other choice except to go deeper. Even if I leave this cave, there no place for me to come back.”
After muttering so, she continued to deeper part of the cave. After a while, she arrived at a place that considerably large.
”… is it graveyard?”
In the middle of that place, there is a sarcophagus. While moving closer to the sarcophagus, she began to investigate it.
There is a magic circle written on that sarcophagus. Mirialia tried to decipher it but it seems that magic square is from the old time and quite difficult to be read. After she tried hard to read it she guessed that magic square is used to open that sarcophagus and need considerable amount of magical power (maybe to prevent robbery).
”If there is someone who eternally sleep inside, please forgive me who have disturb your sleep. I don't have any choice, I will to open this sarcophagus even if it's mimicry to trap grave robbery. If there is nothing in here, it will become my place to sleep eternally. Even though i will disturb your sleeping and it's just my selfish desire, please forgive me. Then, I will open this lid.”
After confirmed magic square on sarcophagus and finished her talking to it, she put her right hand on magic square and concentrate her consciousness to pour magical power into magic square. Magic square began to respond her magical power and started to glow. The lid of sarcophagus is slid with squeaking sound.
Magical power that Mirialia released into magic square is too much and almost fell down, but she prevent it with some step. She returned her sight into sarcophagus after lightly shaking her head. Inside the sarcophagus, there a beautiful woman lying. Maria could only gasp by her beauty.
A woman with straight long glossy black hair, twin plentiful hills that look so soft were beautifully carved like a sculpture. Two beautiful long hands were wrapped around her waist. A black s.h.i.+ny seductive dress exposed her white skin. A beautiful woman who will awaken your l.u.s.t just by looking at her is lying with her closed eyes. When Mirialia finished observing her, Mirialia's blue sapphire eyes widened when she noticed folded black bat wings on that woman back.
”Snow-white skin, glossy black hair, and bat wings on the back… no way, is she Demon King?”
Demon king that Mirialia said is monster who have enormous magical power and appear many times in the past. It's existance is feared since it will bring the world into vortex of chaos and destruction.
According to the legend, its appearance is glossy black hair, eyes with glittering bright color, snow-white skins and black bat wings extend from back. And the appearance of beautiful women in front of Mirialia is exactly like that but all legends said demon kings were men. Mirialia staring at that beautiful woman with slight embarra.s.sment expression and approaching her face with hesitation.
Mirialia put her hand close to the beauty's mouth while gazing that plentiful twin hills, but she couldn't feel any breath from the woman nor see any movement from the plentiful hills.
(The color of her hair and skin, and bat's wing on her back, they are certainly match with the characteristic of demon king who hold enormous power in the legend. But I never heard about female demon king. It was more that 400 years since the last true demon king defeated. At that time, the majority of demon race were destroyed. And handful race who self claimed as survived demon race alse destroyed 300 years ago. How to say it, demon king is merely past existence, that's common sense. But now, the woman who lying in front of me has characteristic of demon king.)
When Mirialia staring at sleeping beauty with embarra.s.sment, The closed eyes of the beauty slightly moved.
”…!”
When Mirialia gasped air, the eyes moved again. The eyes which tightly closed slowly opened. Pupil with radiating color showed up.
(…sparkling, lapis lazuli colored eyes, as expected, the true demon king?)
Mirialia's sight unintentionally met with the beauty's. Because just woke up, the beauty saw Mirialia faintly meanwhile Mirialia saw the beauty with rigid.
