Chapter 3 (1/2)

After a thousand years of just floating in an unknown space, I finally got a work to do.

The feeling of ‘alive’ that I felt after a long time raised my mood.

‘I will finish it quickly and return to the life of a happy and enjoyable Demon King who is free, leisurely, and sucks honey!’ (t/n: suck honey is basically like living a jackpot/paradise life.)

Headaches and complicated things are just disgusting.

The best of those days were when I was living my own life, sometimes beating humans and the Gods, fighting, and rolling the bed.

‘Ha, I want to go back to my prime.’

Whooshㅡ

As soon as the lustful thoughts were over, my skin became numb again. The divine power once again leaked out

Lower-class relics are usually things that nobles seek in order to provide protection to their children, but…

‘It’s poison to me!!’

Don’t you know that I’m a half demon? Or maybe you are deliberately trying to harass me!?

Of course!

Esther was fine as long as her body had recovered to a certain extent and it wasn’t a low-level relic with divine power flowing like this.

This is because the higher the level of the relic, the less power it leaks.

‘Besides, the divine power is green…’

There are also some weird things.

Originally, the divine power was often white or transparent according to their taste.

I have to do good deeds while taking revenge on this family. At the same time, the ultimate goal is to live a happy, comfortable, and very enjoyable life like a rich man.

It’s ironic to think about the coexistence of revenge, good work, and life like a humble quantity.

Come to think of it, I have a lot of work to do.

Still, if the curse is true, the more I do good deeds, the weaker the seal will become, and the stronger the magic I can use.

‘To say that God is good is all bullshit.’

The most cowardly and lowly things in the world are the Gods.

“Phew.”

I lowered my gaze with an annoyed expression on my skin at the piercing sensation.

“Marina asr sansrsti pasu…”

(* “The faithful servant of God dares to…”)

First of all, let’s read it.

I didn’t know the imperial language, so I started to read the first sentence slowly with my eyes while translating the ancient language into the demonic language.

What is surprising is that the more I memorized the prayer, the more my divine power began to diminish.

‘What kind of divine power will go wild if you don’t read prayers?’

Shouldn’t reading the prayers make the divine power stronger?

‘It’s a really strange holy relic.’

Esther’s eyes were narrowed, then slowly the prayer was recited again.

‘I will never leave you alone…!’

Everyone will bow their heads when they realize how great the Demon Lord is.

“…debitia asi muriya na…”

(* “…repel evil things, and bring the poor us out of evil…”)

Reluctantly, I pretended to read slowly because I didn’t know when the maids would come.

Ugh, you really narrow-minded and dirty Gods. What kind of sacred prayer is this?

Gods are such a pathetic bunch. If I don’t memorize these forced prayers, I won’t become a believer.

Gradually, the maids did not appear even though I was joking and reciting the prayers, and only as the sun went down, a maid appeared with a dry face.

“Ah, I’m a little late because I have something to do.”

‘A littleee? A littleeeee?!’

I think I’m going to die of hunger, but that mere creature!

“Here is the food. Pray enough to God and eat.”

I narrowed my eyes at her words.

‘Pray again?!’

I won’t do it!

I can’t!

I said, I won’t do it!

‘Because these things only said ‘do it’, ‘do it’…’

The moment I thought so, a dry, stone-hard loaf of bread rolled over the dusty marble floor.

I looked at the bread that rolled in front of me, hit me and stopped, then I raised my head.

“…Hey!”

As I gathered all my small and precious mana and focused on my tongue, the tongue that felt stiff moved.

“…What, just now you say…?”

“This stupid place!”

By substituting the ancient and imperial languages on the paper, I combined the words to use the awkward imperial language.

“Are you talking to me now?”

“Do yew know who I am!”

It was the first time I used words after gaining the body, and the short pronunciation came out as I was young.

When I even pointed at her, the maid’s face was stained with annoyance.

“What are you saying. You are the Princess of the Duke. Well, to be precise, the abandoned illegitimate Princess.”

“…”

Whoa.

Was I that great?

If it’s a princess, isn’t it a pretty great status among human bloodlines?

“Of course, you are an ‘abandoned’ princess who had nothing compared to others.”

Ah, it seems that the rank is much lower than I thought. Looks like it’s not the same princess as the others.

Oh my, I was excited for nothing.

“Why? Are you going to do something with your rank now?” The maid walked over and pushed my head with her hand. As if it wasn’t enough, she started to touch my cheeks to the point where I could hear a slap on the cheek.

It didn’t hurt at all, but I felt worse than anything else.

“Do it. Who would believe such a cursed dirty princess? You couldn’t even talk until yesterday.”

I clenched my fists as she tapped me on the head.
