Sent To Isekai As Demon King's
Eps 49: Forming Alliance II: The Queen of Bats
April 29, 1163 Zaenium.
The Deathly Forest, the border of the four regions, the Beastman Empire of Marhamzan.
Nightfall.
“So, what do you want?” laciel asked after the two of them looked for a place some distance away from the others.
“I intend to join you as your subordinate,” he replied.
‘What is this all of a sudden?’ Laciel was surprised by Hanafsah's reply.
“But, you were previously on the side of the Lion Emperor, weren't you? How can I trust you?” ask Laciel.
“Then, how about this?”
Hanafsah took out a piece of paper from her dimensional room. He then started it quickly. And after he finished, he gave the paper to Laciel.
“Contract? You want to be my legal wife? Why would you want to file this?”
“Because I know that you are the Demon King from the east, right?”
His words again surprised Laciel.
“I don't know what you mean,” replied Laciel. ‘Where did he know that I was the Demon King? If news of me being in alliance with Yagwar is heard by the Beastman Emperor, it will be dangerous.’
“You don't have to lie. Fellow Devils can know other Devils. And again, I am also one of the few Devils capable of using Appraisal magic,” he explained. “How? Isn't it very profitable to have additional partners? With this, you can easily corner the Beastman Emperor and the other two Queens.”
Laciel thought for a long time. ‘Crue. It is very beneficial for us to have additional help. But he came from the enemy. Ordinary contracts are not trustworthy.’
“If you are still in doubt, you can use the soul seal to me,” Hanafsah continued.
Laciel remembered Nadja's words when he first met.
“Only, very few people want to do soul seals voluntarily.”
‘Nothing anyone would do. Nadja is an exception because it was pressed at that time. There must be some intent behind his actions. But, it would all be meaningless if he could not break my orders, the inner’ of Laciel.
‘Good. No need to doubt anymore. This is a rare opportunity to get additional help. Also, I wonder how to become a Queen in the Beastman Empire.’
“OK, let's do a soul seal,” Laciel said.
Laciel made a slight wound on the tip of his index finger, and directed the blood dripping from there right into Hanafsah's mouth. The blood drops entered the mouth and were swallowed by Hanafsah. Afterwards, Hanafsah tidied up her contract and promise.
A magic circle appeared around him. The circle took out a golden chain that ensnared Hanafsah's body, then disappeared as if it was absorbed to the ground. After that, the magic circle also disappeared.
“Greetings, Your Highness Laciel Lucifer. I, Hanafsah, Queen of Vampires and Bats, am willing to gladly submit to your power,” Hanafsah asserted.
‘Have I not introduced myself yet? Looks like she found out my name from her Appraisal magic.’
After finishing, Laciel and Hanafsah returned to the newly established camp. Yagwar was still staring cynically at Hanafsah, but had not given much thought to her because she trusted Laciel.
“Good. I introduce to you, she is Hanafsah, the King of Ib– I mean, the Demon Queen, as well as the Queen of the Bat Beastman Kingdom. Now, he is on our side,” Laciel said.
“Ehem, I've done a soul seal on him. So, I can guarantee his loyalty,” he continued explaining before being questioned by others.
“You must be responsible for all his actions later,” Yagwar said.
Then he went into the tent to sleep.
“It looks like I was the first to stand guard,” Laciel said.
...*****...
He's staying up the night with Hanafsah. They could relax because the bat monsters were also patrolling around.
“True, Sir. My ancestors were the first to establish a kingdom at this eastern end,” Hanafsah replied.
[Boyang above grandfather.]
“Isn't the Devil's area in the west? Why would your ancestors want to move far apart from those who are one race with him?” Laciel asked as he fell asleep staring at the stars.
He still could not believe there was a world as beautiful as this, other than the spooky monsters within it.
“If you don't want to answer, it's okay. I won't force.”
“It .... It was an intergenerational hereditary story. My ancestor was an advisor to the Demon Emperor. And because of some incident, the Demon Emperor dethroned, and all Devils loyal to him and all
family hunted. That's why my prey ended up in the east of the continent, away from where the Devils were in the west. Although, we are still in the same continent, and the distance is still quite close. Fortunately, the Kavizen Theocratic Empire separated us.”.
“Then, you guys became Kings and Queens in the Beastman Empire by disguising as a Bat Beastman?”
“You how else? If we stand alone as the Demon Kingdom, then the enemy will gang up on us from various directions. The choice was to follow the great powers safely. And that choice fell to the Beastman Empire,” he continued.
“Why not join the Great Empire of Zaenia alone? Didn't they used to be very strong? I heard there too Elves, Dark Elves and Humans coexist.”
“Zaenia ...” says Hanafsah.
“Hmm?” Laciel looked towards him.
“Great Empire Zaenia is the MASTERMIND behind the overthrow of the Demon Emperor! 4 The current Demon King is a descendant of the former Great Emperor Zaenia's subordinate! He KILLED the Demon Emperor and KIDNAPPED the rest of the imperial family!” cecar Hanafsah is out of control.
“BECAUSE THAT'S .. !!!” He took a deep breath. Trying to control himself. “That is why I intend to avenge this common man by joining the Lion Emperor to launch an invasion of another country.”
“Ah, sorry, I lost control for a moment,” murmured.
“It's okay. Sorry I asked you a sensitive question like this. I shouldn't have asked him. Then, why are you switching directions now and siding with me?”
“Rather than fighting under the emperors of other races, it is better to fight under the king of his own race.”
‘Hmm, true. That makes sense. Also, the Zaenia Great Empire is an enemy, based on the words of someone inside me. If he had explained at length, maybe I would have been able to understand why he said so. I wonder who he really is?’
“Do I deserve to be respected so?” ask Laciel. ‘Although our race is the same, it is still a little awkward to directly submit under my power without ever meeting before.’
“Do you know that the Devil cannot change the color of his iris?” Hanafsah asked back.
“The color of the Devil's iris is the original color and cannot be manipulated, except by something in the realm of gods. And the red iris is the epitome of the nobility of Satan in the past. Not gold, blue, green as the word badjangan, let alone black like ordinary Man.”
Hanafsah stood up and took out her bat-like wings. It consists only of skin and bones that stand out. Its ears, canines and claws extend beyond that of a normal human. His white eyes turned black, with the iris still the same color, which is red.
“I swear on behalf of the ancestors, I, Hanafsah, will be your right hand that clears your way to the top of the world!”
‘Ah, no. The top of the world is too high. I just want to know how and why I'm stranded in this world. But, to solve this mystery, I need strength, as much as possible!’
Laciel stands. His eyes turned black with red irises. From behind her icy white hair grew out a horn that curved forward. He came back again using his appearance when he first came to his senses in this world.
“I, Laciel Lucifer, accept your loyalty. Fight for the future.”
“Good, Your Majesty!”
