Chapter 63 - Volume 6 Chapter 1 – Captive (1/2)

Beatrice’s POV

——————

The Elf prince was then removed from my presence.

Having confirmed it, I returned to my throne again.

“With this, it’s a little quieter now. The only problem is……”

The luxuriously decorated audience chamber is now full of soot, dirt and burnt spots.

Indeed, it’s the aftermath of my magic, but I never thought I would lead up to this point.

To be honest, I’m quite surprised.

But as long as he got caught in that chain, it’s all over.

Those chains are originally granted immunity to magic powerful enough to capture any demon.

Even if he can use magic, he won’t be able to escape.

“It’s about time”

I looked out of the window. The sun is about to go down.

There was a knock on the door, but this time, I was expecting it.

“Enter”

The door opened without any sound, and from there, a Demon entered. It’s the usual staff officer.

However, once the always calm officer saw the disastrous scene of the room, his eyes almost pop in surprise.

“Y-your Majesty! What happened……”

“A rat has entered the room. I’ve already caught it and thrown to prison”

“What…… My deepest apologies! I will go check for any deficiencies immediately!”

“No, it’s not needed. Also, didn’t you have a report for me?”

As if he just remembered, he corrected his posture right away.

“Yes, your Majesty. Our legion, all the sortie preparations are complete. We are ready to strike at anytime”

“I see. You’ve done well”

I nodded in joy on the brought news.

With this, we can now finally exterminate the hateful humans and elves.

“The morale of the soldiers is sky high, that they are already struggling to suppress their desires to jump out at them at any moment”

“Oh, then let’s not keep them from waiting. Order the entire army to dispatch!

“Our target is Bivnaheim, isn’t it?”

“Yes. Let’s catch them off-guard with an ambush, then take them by storm all at once”

“Understood!”

Once the staff member confirmed, he left the room to pass the order.

“Today, we have taken the first step to conquer the whole world”

I took a deep breath as I leaned on the chair.

All the hard work I have been enduring for a long time – they are about to be rewarded now.

After a while, I heard a loud cheering from the outside of the window.

The order has been issued.

And now, my Demon Army will finally make a sortie.

Ah, I want to listen to the reports of the last moments of those countries soon.

Cecil’s POV

————————–

It has been several hours since Allan-sama left.

I wonder if he has already reached to the Demon Lord?

We have no choice but to wait.

Cecil, are you worried about the Prince?”

Someone spoke to me from behind.

I turned back, only to see Fran-san standing there.

“……Yes. No matter what the circumstances may be, it’s still dangerous to go alone”

When Allan-sama said that he would go alone, I objected. At least he should bring at least three of us.

But he didn’t accept it.

“Am I not trusted?”

“It’s not like that, but the reverse. Prince trusts Cecil the most”

“How does Fran-san understand?”

I’m always beside Allan-sama, but what is this sense of defeat from Fran?

Is it because I was such a weak person from the start? I can’t help but think such things.

“I told you, it’s not like that, there’s no way he doesn’t trust you”

Her expression became a little more gentle than usual.

“I …… see. We can’t do anything but believe in him”

Now that Allan-sama has already gone, we now have to play our part.

Even if the worst thing happens, we have to keep our promises.

While I was lost in thought, the outside of the inn suddenly became noisy.

“What on Algarde is that?”
