Chapter 3 – Pandemonium #3
It was a large hall suitable for the scale of the palace.
The hall was dark, and only the mother, the Duchess, in front of me could be clearly seen… No. The hall wasn’t exactly dark.
Her beauty only overshadowed everything but herself.
“Ah.”
He is like a throne. She sat with her legs crossed on her throne, gorgeous, huge, decadent, looking down at her, and as soon as she saw her, her heart stopped.
Indeed, she was a beauty like a goddess.
Long hair that seemed to contain darkness and horns sprouting from between the hair. Her bright yellow eyes were golden, and her long legs and thighs were highlighted by the braiding of her legs.
Above all, she was wearing a dress that revealed her voluptuous body as it is… She was wearing a dark metal crown and gorgeous and beautiful accessories, but rather, it was thought that they covered her beauty. Was
It’s heart-stoppingly beautiful. But, at the same time, I was afraid. I feel a very big and deep fear.
Demon women are lethally beautiful, but I thought they were just monsters. That thing sitting there right now must be extremely frightening… A grip of terror seemed to grip his heart.
ㅡToouk.
At some point, I was on my knees, banging my forehead.
“Meet the most beautiful and great mother, the Duchess.”
A comment that comes out automatically because I was educated. Honestly, I’m fucking scared right now. She is so afraid that she wants to sit down and scream and cry for her mother.
But that mother is the scariest.
Contradictory situation.
Calling her mother out of fear? I think the concept of being scared came from that mother… That kind of existence is my mother.
It can never be.
“Oh, do you know how to talk?”
“Yes?”
Moment.
The voice that cut through the darkness was so friendly that I was taken aback. To be specific, how surprised I was that I thought I was actually talking to my mother.
“Yes. I know how to do it.”
“I heard you’re dumb.”
“It’s… That’s right. But I only learned about it last year or so.”
“Isn’t it? It’s also commendable. Well done. Huhuhu.”
The sound of that soft laugh penetrated my ears, and I felt my legs loosen up.
“…”
What is it?
I couldn’t possibly comprehend the feeling right now. For me, from another world, these sensations were very foreign. My instincts and impulses are urging me to devote my body and mind to that woman right now…
“So my son? What’s his name?”
My mother, the Duchess, called me her son with that sweet voice and asked me kindly.
“Cue, it’s Culce. Culce Bellacrew.”
Do you really consider me to be your son? It was hard to believe. For her, her being, who she is, is just one of her many children. The queen ant doesn’t particularly care about each worker ant. She has neither affection nor interest. She gave birth herself, but she only serves as her subordinate.
Our relationship would be close to that?
“Huh, it’s called Culce. It’s a cute name… Ah, sorry to ask for the name? I didn’t know it because it wasn’t a name I made myself. I won’t forget it anymore.”
“Thank you. An honor beyond measure…”
“Do you want to stand up? Don’t get down on your knees.”
ㅡPay!
The late lieutenant, who seemed to be in a bad mood at first glance, jumped up faster than when my name was called, and took a stand.
“Come closer.”
“Yes.”
I walked straight to the throne. Walk up and climb the stairs leading to the throne.
Why are you being so kind to me?
Is it because of my origin? After all, what was the secret of my birth! It felt like there was something even more shocking than the fact that I was born from an egg…!
That’s how I got to stand in front of my mother, the Duchess. I couldn’t get my head around the enchanting scent and beauty. My vision seems to be blurry.
“Closer.”
“…Yes.”
I was afraid, but it was not something I could refuse, so I walked further. Within reach of her hand.
And.
ㅡSue.
A warm hand touched my face.
“Ah…!”
My mother, the Duchess, began to touch my face… So cozy and warm that I felt like my consciousness would melt. Right before she freezes to death in the snowy mountains, she feels as though she has discovered a hot spring. Now I was in there.
“Are you handsome? My son?”
She speaks with a smile on her face.
“Me, it’s all thanks to my mother, the Duchess.”
“Huh-huh, that’s right. But it looks uncomfortable? It’s like I can feel a wall in my heart.”
There are no bastards who can eat comfortably here except the crazy psychopath bastard.
“I’m standing in front of Mama.”
“That, that’s it! It seems that I was a bit nervous because I was a lowly person standing in front of my great mother, the Duchess!
“Umm… That’s humble. I think it’ll hurt a little because I draw the line like that.”
“Huh!”
What wounds are wounds!
Are you kidding me now!
“Let’s talk comfortably? Huh? Aren’t they mother and son?”
“Oh, I see!”
I don’t understand why there is so much emphasis on parental relationships! Could it be that I had to use some kind of magic to sacrifice my own child, but did he call me because he didn’t have the right guy?
“Huh, then can you call me Mama?”
I have no choice but to do as I am told!
“M-M-M-M-“
“Yeah. Well done. My son is nice.”
ㅡSue.
Her hand, which had been touching my face, moved over my head. Surprisingly. He was stroking my hair right now.
It’s a situation I can’t understand. This woman can’t be like this. What the hell happened to you that you keep treating me so kindly?
The mother I know, the Duchess, is definitely a very cruel, powerful, and terrifying demon. Isn’t she one of the dukes who rule this terrifying world, the Demon Realm?
“Then the problem. Why did Mama call our Cules?”
“That… I can’t fathom the will of the great mother, the Duchess…”
“Are you formal again? If you keep drawing lines like that, will your mother really get hurt?”
ㅡHwaaaaagh!
“No!”
Live in the moment!
No!
I can’t help it now! From what I’ve seen, it seems that the Duchess likes people who immediately do what they are told!
Then you have to do it!
“That, that! Mom, that! To be honest, I don’t even know why I called it! No, I’ve been thinking about it for a while, but I’m not surehaha! Oh my God, I’m very curious about the horse! Tell me, Mom!”
Just like talking to my real mother, I trembled and licked my mouth! It’s been almost 10 years since I’ve actually said this to anyone! After being reincarnated as a demon, there was no one to talk to in a friendly way like this…!
So what’s the reaction?
“Yes?”
Looking around, the Duchess tilted her head slightly.
“Huh, huhuhu. Apparently, Culse has a bit of a peculiar personality. Yes. I like it.”
Then she covered her mouth with her hand and smiled warmly.
Did you feel better by doing what you were told to do? I don’t know why, but I’m glad he didn’t kill me for suddenly saying so rudely. It looks like my joke worked well.
“It’s really amazing… Anyway. I should tell you why I called it. Culse. Have you ever heard of the Demon King’s Advent?”
“Yes?”
Demon King Advent?
Oh
There was something flashing. It had only been about a year since I had learned the language, but it was a word I had heard recently.
It must have been something like a festival.
I heard other demons saying that it would start soon. I don’t know the details, but it seems that it was an event to honor the mighty Great Demon King, who ruled even in the middle world in the past.
Now, demons live only in the demon realm, but at the time, because there was a powerful great demon king, it is said that many people lived in the middle world as well. I can roughly get a sense of it by simply listening to such a background.
It must be something like an Armed Forces Day event.
Having a grand festival, eating some delicious food, praising the great king and having fun.
“Of course I’ve heard of it. Isn’t that a festival? Well, I heard it’s a festival honoring the Great Demon King.”
But why ask that?
Are you really going to use me as a coordinator for the festival? No. It can’t be. There was no reason for such a great duchess to spend her free time on such trivial matters.
It sounds like something important.
“Yes. It’s a festival. You know?”
“But I don’t know very well. I don’t know exactly what I’m doing.”
“Then I’ll tell you.”
“Yes.”
I’m telling you, but you have to listen.
“The Advent of the Demon King is a festival. It is a festival to honor the great Demon King who ruled even the middle world.”
“Oh, that’s a good day just to hear the explanation! To honor the Great Demon King! I’m really looking forward to it! I want to hurry up and devote my heart to honor the Great Demon King!”
I don’t know what it is, but I think it’s an important day, so I have to set the mood.
“Ah, hu, huhufu… I guess our Culse tends to speak unusually? Anyway. The Demon Lord’s Advent Festival is not just a festival.”
“Then what?”
“Rather, it can be called an old festival… Son?
“Yes. That’s because I wasn’t good at listening when I was speaking. I don’t know. That’s it.”
“Son. Don’t be surprised. Listen.”
What are you trying to say?
Once you’re ready to pee.
“At Advent. To honor the Great Demon King who descended alone and conquered Middle-earth, conduct a ceremony to send suitable demons from each family down to Middle-earth. It’s consciousness.”
“Oh, my God! What an amazing ritual! There are all these rituals!”
So amazing!
“But what about the demons who went down? Do they go sightseeing in Lululala Middle Earth and return while enjoying the festive mood?”
Mom.
Please.
Tell me yes
ㅡ give and give.
At some point, cold sweat began to flow.
Middle-earth… Down? I don’t know, but wouldn’t it be a bit big if someone like me went down to such a middle ground? No. Wouldn’t it die?
Isn’t it the psychology of humans to want to kill some kind of demon in the world where humans live?
ㅡ Dori Dori.
But the mother, the duchess, shook her head.
“Hmm… Didn’t the Great Demon King retreat? Running away is a disgrace to the demons. So, there is no retreat. If you descend according to the ritual, you must become the Demon King who rules the middle world.”
“Wow! That’s how demon kings were produced! But are there demons who conquered Middle Earth like that?”
At my words, the mother, the duchess, ran her fingers over her own eyes, feeling sad.
“Culse…”
Why are you calling me with such a faint voice…!
“In my family, you decided to go to Advent.”
ㅡKyaaaaa!!
I was tearing my hair out and screaming!!!!
