Inside the banquet hall, the Demon King and I entered.
In that vast space, there were only a table and chairs prepared for just the two of us.
The distance between us was close enough that I could reach out and hold her hand.
Aside from the grand and luxurious appearance of the banquet hall, it created an atmosphere reminiscent of a restaurant where lovers enjoy a meal together.
Watching this, I slowly moved forward with a deep sense of tension.
“Well then, I look forward to working with you, Hero.”
“Y-Yes, Your Majesty.”
I replied with a slightly trembling voice to the calm yet irresistibly charming words of the Demon King. Even though it was just a meal and not a battle, I felt a subtle tension.
Carefully, I took my seat across from her.
No, I was facing the face of a goddess who perfectly matched my ideal type. At that moment, my heart raced again upon realizing this fact.
As the demon maidservants waiting began to bring out soup and salad as the first course, the Demon King and I started our meal in earnest.
The food I had eaten so far was excellent, but now something even more luxurious and wonderful was being served before me.
However, at this moment, whether I was putting the sweet soup in my mouth or the fragrant and fresh salad,
I couldn’t clearly distinguish if the food was entering through my mouth or my nose.
‘Really… she’s so beautiful. To think I could have a meal with someone like her… just that thought feels overwhelmingly extravagant.’
The Demon King continued her meal elegantly before my eyes. Her beauty made me forget even the taste of the food,
and at the same time, it bound me, preventing me from executing my original thoughts of trying to get
closer to her by making conversation.
Simply sitting in front of me captivated all my nerves and spirit. The power of absolute beauty is indeed overwhelming.
Just then, when I was momentarily lost in the Demon King’s beauty, “Hero, is the food not to your liking?”
“W…what?”
The Demon King asked, her voice laced with slight concern, as if she noticed me picking at my food. At that, I felt a moment of embarrassment and answered her words.
“Ah… No, Your Majesty. I have never eaten such exquisite food in my life. It’s just…” “Just?”
Feeling hesitation at the Demon King’s question, I began to falter. After all,
‘To be honest, I couldn’t focus on the taste of the food because of how beautiful Your Majesty is.’ It would be unreasonable to outright express such thoughts.
Instead, I chose to change the topic rather than speak my mind candidly.
“…I apologize. Even for me, having a private meal with a monarch is a first, so I might be a little tense.” “Is that so?”
“Yes, Your Majesty is more noble than any being I have seen until now… just being able to have a meal with someone like you is a great honor for me.”
To be honest, rather than her being a monarch, I felt honored merely to be dining with such a beauty. Meanwhile, regarding my words,
The Demon King showed a somewhat peculiar expression for a moment, then seemed to ponder something.
And a little while later…
“An honor… you truly think so?” “Yes, that’s right, Your Majesty.”
The Demon King asked in a voice that seemed slightly stiff.
I felt a bit of discomfort but responded firmly with sincerity to her words. Then…
“I see, then… what do you think about this?” “Yes?”
In an instant, with words I couldn’t understand, the Demon King stood up from her seat.
And then…
She slowly began to approach me. “U-Um, Your… Majesty?”
The Demon King took step after step towards me.
So simple yet,
Her overwhelming beauty made it feel as if a goddess was descending from heaven, and I, already filled with tension, began to feel as if I might suffocate.
She stopped right next to me, seated beside me.
Then the Demon King slowly…
Reached out her hand and began to caress my face.
Her touch was so gentle.
At the same time, the sweet fragrance and warm aura she exuded made my already racing heart pound even harder.
“Y-Your… Majesty?… W-What is this…” “…Be still. This is the king’s command.”
With a calm yet strict authority…
At the same time, her words held a somewhat moist sensation.
I felt as if my consciousness was collapsing, and I had no choice but to remain still in accordance with my ‘Majesty’s’ command.
Then, towards me…
The Demon King slowly bent at the waist and slightly lowered her posture.
What appeared right in front of me was…
The Demon King’s large and beautiful chest that had continuously captured my gaze.
Due to the nature of her dress, the upper part was fully exposed,
and it was like a pair of delectable fruits that could capture any man’s heart just by existing.
As I watched it slowly approach me, I felt a sudden rush of white in my head, and I could only accept it defenselessly.
And… “Ah…”
The Demon King slowly embraced my body. I felt the warmth of her hand on my back. Her thin breath brushed against my ear.
And…
The warmth of her chest enveloped my entire face. It felt like falling into heaven, warm and utterly soft.
I was seized by overwhelming happiness as if my soul was about to leave me, and I couldn’t help but become completely absorbed in this moment.
‘Is this… heaven?’
I had no time to question why the Demon King was acting this way. All I could do in this moment was…
Feel boundless gratitude for her undeniable ‘kindness’ and yield to it.
And…
Then, softly whispering in my ear,
the Demon King began to speak in a voice that seemed to pierce through my entire being. “Speak, Hero. What do you think about this?”
The question she asked me right before this ‘heaven’ began.
In response to her repeated inquiry,
I started to express the true feelings I was experiencing at that moment with a trembling voice. “Thank you sincerely for this undeserved reward… Your Majesty…”
I still didn’t understand what her intention was in holding me like this.
However, the only thing I could say about her action that showed me heaven was that I could only express my gratitude for my lord’s tremendous grace.
And,
in response to my words.
The Demon King continued to whisper softly to me.
“If you swear eternal loyalty to me, if you fulfill my wishes… I can grant you even more than this.” “gulp!”
Her words made countless imaginations spring to mind.
Thus, I began to tremble under the Demon King’s irresistible temptation.
“Hero… will you vow such loyalty to me?… Will you swear to become my eternal sword and slay my enemies?”
The Demon King’s question was soft yet clear. Without any hesitation, I answered her words.
“I swear… for you, Your Majesty… I vow to devote this life to eternal loyalty.”
From the moment I knelt before the Demon King, it was something I had promised in my heart. Given that she was willing to grant me such overwhelming rewards, I felt no reason to think further.
I felt nothing but genuine gratitude for the Demon King’s actions, which granted me what I truly desired above all else.
Thus, once more, I resolved to do my best to improve my rapport with the Demon King. Specifically, I started to prepare to do my utmost for the alliance of races.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
According to Belzebuth’s words, the Demon King decided to seduce the hero.
Though she was reluctant, under the belief of ‘for the sake of the country,’ she was determined to proceed with this task.
However, concerning this matter, the Demon King couldn’t help but feel uneasy in many ways. She knew there were various ways for women to seduce men.
Whispering lewd yet sweet words,
showing off natural exposure,
or engaging in skinship that stimulates sexual desire.
These methods, typically used by succubi to siphon off men’s energy, were things the Demon King had heard about since she had succubi as subordinates.
However…
Having knowledge was one thing, but at this moment, the Demon King could not muster the courage to do something so ‘outrageous.’
She was not accustomed to contact with men outside of a military relationship, let alone using such professional skills.
Additionally, honestly, despite her resolve, a sense of guilt toward the hero lingered in her heart, causing her to instinctively take a passive approach to this task.
Ultimately, the method of seduction she chose was simple and straightforward—a direct embrace. Excluding any professional skills, the Demon King was honestly thinking that she would do her best, but this might not be very effective.
‘The hero, who even rejected succubi, surely wouldn’t be swayed by such an embrace.’
Thus, with little expectation of the seduction’s effectiveness, the Demon King cautiously drew the hero into her arms.
However…
Contrary to her expectations,
the hero’s response to this clumsy ‘seduction’ produced results beyond her imagination., let me know!
“I swear… for you, Your Majesty… I vow to devote this life to eternal loyalty.”
‘?? Ah… no… why is this happening…?’
The warrior, executing a clear vow of loyalty without a hint of hesitation, gave no sense of falsehood. The Demon King could only be enveloped in deep bewilderment at the situation, as if a single arrow had led to the surrender of the castle.
Then, suddenly, a thought flashed through the Demon King’s mind:
‘…C-Could it be…?’
