Our demon king is coming. (formerly Mayday A Series)

His Highness Alfredo hesitated to go to Lord Raymond.

"If I go to Lord Raymond, I will be in complete conflict with my mother..."

"I guess."

The prince doesn't want to compete with his mother when he tells her he's fleeing her.

"I also flew out of the royal palace because I happened to loosen my eyes on the surveillance, not what I had planned to do. If I told you, I'd be in the mood. That's all I wanted out of that royal palace."

………

Your Highness looks tired somewhere.

Do you think it's done?

"But gradually I knew what I wanted to do..."

"And say?

Thor also sat right next to me, eating dinner.

"Again, I shall return to the royal palace once and tell my mother and the Chancellor that I will clearly not be king. If we can still stop them, we need to stop them."

"Your Highness, your mother is quite a monster. It's a lot of obsession and passion to get this far for one son.... Are you okay?

"... it"

When His Royal Highness Alfredo couldn't say anything, Tor came pinching his mouth.

"... No, I want to respect Your Highness's feelings. For us, the righteous queen is just a villain, but for His Highness, she is a bloody mother. Different position. If you continue to ask Sir Raymond for help, the crack between His Highness and the righteous queen is inevitable, and we do not know what action that faction will take. I don't want to see my mother and son hate each other."

"... Tor Sagaram"

His Highness nodded many times.

I just feel a little uncomfortable. Thor is the rational brain of realism. Something I would say later that it would be easier to draw in here than to return His Highness like this. If he declares that he will not be king, and this one holds back his personality, there is nothing we can do about the faction.

But anyway, Thor seemed to want to prioritize the prince's emotions.

"Your Highness, however, there is something called a deadline. This is the forthcoming Twelve Great Lords' Conference. It seems that those factions over there are going to create a stepping stone to bring Sir Raymond down by then and take some action. If I don't convince you by then... you'll be considered the same person."

"I know. It's my responsibility then. You will be expelled from the royal family as well as the right to inherit the throne"

…………

His Highness seemed to be looking somewhere, far away.

I've always thought of him as a jerk, but I guess it's also true that he's come to suffer from the position of first prince.

"Excuse me."

Suddenly, a private room door opened.

It was soldiers and magicians of the royal palace.

At the center corner, he must have been a high-ranking magician for the Estas. It looks like a gentleman, but a frigid long-haired sorcerer. Has the Queen asked you to look for His Highness Alfredo?

"Gohon. This is General Mage. I thank you for protecting His Highness Alfredo.... Your Highness, the Queen is very worried. Let's go back to the royal palace."

………

………

Just a little bit, tension ran between us.

Because the soldiers were putting their strength into their hands with spears.

I felt the magic of Lepis and Noah watching from somewhere, but I groaned in my heart, "No, no, no, no, no.

You shouldn't cause weird disturbances all over a city like this. And in such a prominent place.

Tomorrow's headlines are going to be tough.

"I'm fine, thank you both"

His Highness Alfredo, when he took his seat, said so.

Are you going to follow the soldiers home?

"............ ah"

I almost pulled over for a moment. Because I had some bad feeling about it.

Can I really leave His Highness like this? Are you sure you can convince the Queens?

"Barondot Esta, these people met me“ by chance, "and now they were just trying to escort me to the royal palace. Come on, I'm going home to the royal palace."

"... Your Grace"

As it was, Your Highness just saw us for a moment and followed them later. A man named Barondot Esta also refrained immediately after the prince after seeing us as niggards.

After seeing how that was going, I finally felt like I knew where the First Prince really stood. He has no freedom.

………

Because I was on Lord Raymond's side, because I'm on Ulysses' side, I'm pretty sure there was something hostile about the First Prince's camp that I wanted to say, and I don't think they were wrong.

But I feel kind of complicated.

On the way back to the royal palace, me and Thor walked silently.

Is it because there was a lot going on? Thor also seemed to be home at this time thinking about something, not telling me to hit him.

The invitation to a party hosted by the Estas arrived the next day.

"What party is it today?

"It's a party hosted by the Estas. It's frigid, but it seems to be open every year, so Lord Raymond said to come too. He'll expect more than that."

Lepis tightened up my corset so vigorously that I raised my voice for a moment.

"Hey... you look amazing."

"Excuse me, it's a prosthetic thing"

Lepis stayed put and tied the corset string handily.

"Nevertheless, after that first prince thing, you don't see Lord Thor. I've been chasing Master Machia so long ago."

"............ Hmm. Forget about him."

"Really?"

The response of Lepis was light.

"Hey Lepis, more than that, why don't you go to the ball once in a while? You have a beautiful face, but you won't be able to take care of me in this place."

"... thank you, but unfortunately we are counting on Sir Raymond for other work"

"There's no such thing as that sweet-ass uncle."

Sit in front of the dresser and choose the lipstick color. I'm 15 years old now, so I was wondering if I could make it more colorful.

I usually wear colors that are as easy as slightly red.

"Hey Lepis. Lipstick, which would be better"

"... I don't know much about cosmetics... But I think Master Machia would look better in dark colors."

"Maybe this much...... Haha, you used to wear these colors when you were a Red Witch."

I chose a color as dark as the two tones than usual and put that rouge on my lips.

My childhood disappeared all at once and I feel a lot more grown up. It's a visual reminiscent of myself, who was a red witch.

"When this happens, you're gonna have a bow on your head.... I think we should go with the Red Witch Look today."

I loosened the ribbon that was half-upping my hair.

Lepis looks at me somewhere hazy with his saggy flowing hair.

"... Dear Machia, I'm surprised. … so beautiful."

"What the hell is that? I'm always cute too, right?

"Yeah, but I don't know what to say... because it was so close to the image of the Red Witch that was in me"

"Hehe, what do you mean that sounds like a bad girl?... Well, the problem is earrings and dresses, right? I don't like the fact that she smells like an aunt too grown up, and I think she's young and glossy, about as good as that."

I removed from the dresser a box lined with earrings.

In it, take out the same aqua blue stone as my eyes and the ruby applied earrings. It's slightly larger, but I don't have a ribbon, so if it's not this big, I feel that it lacks impact.

The dress is glossy red.

I feel kind of strange. I did get the odd convince that I was a red witch.

There was something different in the mirror in front of me, but someone I missed somewhere, it showed.

The ball venue was the Esta family salon on the eastern side of the Wang capital.

The boulder cows the Royal Palace Magic Academy, a magician of the moment. This is a gorgeous and beautiful sparkling salon, completely different from the Medithean mansion.

Arriving at the venue or not, the salon went out of its way and I seemed to surprise the guests who were there. I've had a lot of mentions face-to-face at parties before, but how you're noticing me with different impressions than usual. What surprises me in the Awegian position is that it feels a little good.

"Good to see you, Miss Machia. You're here. I couldn't get a word out of you for a moment because of your beauty."

It was Barondot Esta who took care of me a lot the other day. He also took off his royal magician's uniform and is dressed as a gentleman today.

"Hehe... I tried to stretch my back a little bit. If you're a child forever, you'll be laughed at."

It was when I narrowed my eyes and his, searching gaze looked down at me.

The venue became Zawazawa again.

She was Princess Rubette. And there's Thor on the side, pulling her hand.

I'm surprised, but I'll be convinced soon. Because Princess Rubette had heard that she was on official business to interact with the great noblemen who were to be named for the forthcoming Great Council of Aristocrats.

But this is the Esta family. It would be a very dangerous place for Princess Rubette. Naturally Thor, as a knight, is protecting her.

I see why Tor didn't show up before me here recently.

………

Somehow, I felt a little lonely.

I wonder why.

In the end, I guess I was just enjoying the quarrel with him, not wanting to forgive Thor yet.

Because I've noticed that.

This is very similar to what was once an emotion.

To the emotions of the Red Witch, when I was plunging battles into the Black Demon King. After all, it's a fight.

I did have feelings back then that I tried to hide and hide behind the battle of sorcery and hide through.

A little farther away Tor seems to have found me, still looking at me with very surprising eyes.

I was faceless. I wonder why.

When I met Tor, I was going to look at him from the top, trying to give him about Akanbe and throw him away again with a bad attitude, but he was just faceless.

And turn your back as you go.

Anyway, Tor can't leave the princess. He is not a man who scorns his work.

I left that wheel as everyone gathered for Princess Lulu.

Suddenly, it got dark in front of me and I was freaked out because it was pretty unintentional.

"... this is..."

This is never about the chandelier lights at the venue going out.

I remember this darkness.

"This is the Fortress of Magic..." "Kingdom of Shadows"... "

I thought they did. Tor's Magic Fortress is a completely different space on the time axis. What happens in this is, in reality, a moment or so.

In this space, Thor can go after me without leaving the princess alone.

And I hated this space.

Two thousand years ago, even when we were fighting, we often got stuck in this space, but I hated it since then.

It was like a dark maze, because it depended on his mood to reach or not reach the Black Demon King.

More than that, I was very bad at this darkness. The darkness at night is fine, but the darkness made of witchcraft really doesn't work.

I heard footsteps from somewhere.

It must belong to Thor.

Unexpectedly I picked the dress and ran out trying to stay away from its footsteps.

But I know that's pointless. Those trapped in this space are dragged out to the present if the Lord wishes.

I had too much momentum and accidentally fell.

Even in a space where there's nothing like this, the ground is definitely hard and it hurts when you fall.

"... eh"

On the clap I fell, I took one of my shoes off. Apparently, the earrings blew up somewhere, too, but I can't help it. Because it is heavy, I loosened the hardware on my ear slightly.

What a mess.

I couldn't even rise from the scene in the dark. I thought I'd bite my thumb and order the blood to destroy this space, but it reminded me that it would be a huge burden to Thor to rewrite the manners of this space.

"... Ugh..."

I don't know, I'm already scared of this darkness and Thor is right there, and my knees hurt. My ears hurt as well, so I don't know why, so I tear eyes.

"... Tor... eh"

But I still call him by his name.

You were on the run, why not?

"Machia"

A hand stretched out grabbed my shoulder.

Looking back slowly, there is what a subtle look Tor seems to be complicated. There was a blue and white glowing translucent monitor floating around the toll so I could see my face.

"... Tor..."

"What are you. Why such a... Yeah, with that said, you, this space didn't work. Sorry, you did it again... I just recently used it and had a record, so it activated."

Tor messed with the monitor on the side and instantly repainted the space.

White flower gardens spread across one side. Green trees with light in them.

Even if you know it's a fantasy thing, the wood leak day feels warm.

"Machia, Happy 15th Birthday..."

As Thor knelt in front of me and accidentally touched my ear, I was surprised and raised my shoulder.

"Huh..."

"In Verrett, I found it. You, I thought you said you wanted smaller earrings.

………

Thor also put those earrings on my other ear.

When I touched my ears lightly with my own hands, they had small Shizukushaped earrings there.

"Huh... ha. Mm-hmm. Doesn't that look very good on you today?... haha"

………

"Sounds like you're not the usual Machia today... rather than Machia..."

Thor narrowed his eyes for a moment and, as he missed them, called the name of one woman.

"Looks like McIlier Lucia..."

That's the name of the former Red Witch.

You remember that name.

What makes a white flower on one side look like a dancing petal wearing that white snow forest vigeon we once met?

I still remember the unspoken urge to rejoice when I first met someone with similar powers.
