Chapter 1. [Episode 36]
“The First Lady Sets Out”

 

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

The King’s Chamber of the Tenebrae Demon Kingdom. On the throne sat an angel not unlike those of the Demon Kingdom.

She was sitting and leaning against an armrest, cross-legged and pouting. Her eyes were half dead.

[Lumiel-sama. Please open your mouth.]

[…… ahhhhh.]

A palace maid sticks a wide variety of fruits into a fruit pick and brings them to the mouth of the angel.

Lumiel, who was eating the food with a sigh, looked in a different direction and let out a sigh.

She’s not a king, to begin with. She doesn’t know anything about politics, and she doesn’t know anything about foreign affairs. She was not fit to be a king, but she did not care about that.

The main problem, for now, is that there is nothing to do even if she’s sitting on the throne.

It has already been over a month since Lucifer left for the Empire. When in the world will he come back?

He said he would be back in a few days to a few years. For Lumiel, who is both an angel and a demon god, it is only a trivial amount of time. That’s how long she thought it would be if she just stayed in a daze. ……

[Lumiel-sama, your mouth is half-open.]

[Uh, ….…]

[Lumiel-sama, you look very disheveled and ungraceful.]

[Aaah. ….…]

[Lumiel-sama, if the master sees you now, he will soon fall out of love with you.]

[This is happening because darling isn’t here!]

Lumiel, suddenly enraged, yelled as she yanked on both cheeks of the maid.

[Rumi Hefuhama. Furahi ni yafu ha hahi ufu no fuyayamefurahi (Lumiel-sama. Please stop taking it out on me).]

[It’s okay if it’s just Darling, but why even that woman is going to the Empire as well~..…?! I’m sure she must be loving Darling, night after night. ……! If you’re going to take her, take me with you too! You stupid, stupid, stupid!]

Lumiel exclaims as she slaps the maid’s head hard with a thud.

The maid was left to do as she was told with no expression on her face.

[Lumiel-sama. No matter how many times you hit my head, the master will not return.]

[What! You’re saying you’re fine without Darling?]

[It’s not okay. I want him to come back soon, too.]

The maid says as she looks at the angel who is beating her head a hundred times.

[I’m tired of protecting you, Lumiel-sama.]

[Don’t treat me like a child!]

[I would point out that your brain is a child, your mind is a child, and your body is somewhat immature.]

[I don’t think so! I mean, I don’t want to be told by you!]

As she caught the petite maid by the collar and shook her violently, a dismayed voice rang out.

[Whew…… Lucifer’s magic is gone and look what happened, an angel is sitting on the throne…]

[…… Beelzebub?]

Lumiel releases the maid and then greets the guest.

The man called Beelzebub was an old, gray-haired man. His face was covered with wrinkles, he was pale and small, and he wore a robe.

His slender body, however, was filled with a disastrous atmosphere. The enormous amount of magical power and miasma overflowing from his entire body probably gave that impression.

He is one of those who, like Lucifer, bear the name of the Demon King. He is a demon god worthy of the name of royalty who used numerous magic techniques and turned every battlefield into a wilderness in the old times.

[The Tenebrae demon kingdom has fallen to the ground.]

[If you’re just here to be sarcastic, go home. I’m in a really bad mood.]

[Don’t get so irritated. You’d better listen to what this old man has to say.]

[You’re about the same age as Darling.]

Beelzebub was an old man in appearance, but the magic and miasma emanating from his body were out of the ordinary.

If a mere human were being there, he or she would have been out of his or her mind the moment he or she saw the old demigod.

Although not as extreme as Lucifer, who retains his demonic form, this Beelzebub is also a threat to humanity itself.

[Lucifer went to the empire, didn’t he?]

[That’s right. That’s why I’m sitting on the throne like this. That’s why I’m the king now. Bow down.]

[The country would be ruined with a king like this.]

[What the hell?]

Beelzebub said to Lumiel, who was about to grab the maid again when she blurted out.

[The forbidden arts were used in the Empire.]

[‘Forbidden art?’ It’s not Darling ……. Darling doesn’t have that kind of power right now. Then, Rena?]

[No. It is a somewhat heavy art for her to handle.]

[What do you mean? She’s a former hero. She was the strongest in the empire. She was good at magic. She could handle the forbidden arts, which are beyond the realm of magic. …… Well, she seems to be better at swordsmanship than magic.]

[There has been a series of strange magic practices in the empire over the past few years. From the detection of the formula of the “Sacred Art”, there is no doubt that it required a large number of sacrifices.]

Beelzebub is one of the seven pillars that support the Tenebrae demon kingdom.

His power is extremely powerful. Although inferior in swordsmanship and martial art, he is as powerful as Lucifer, who has put forth his best effort when it comes to handling magic.

It can’t just be dismissed as the ramblings of an old man.

[It is an extremely large-scale technique. It’s one of the most significant of the forbidden arts ……, perhaps even reaching the 13th rung of the ladder. Or perhaps even ‘higher’?]

[Are you kidding me? How can a human being use such a thing?]

[It would take hundreds of mere mortals to pull off such a feat. But it is being used. What does it mean? Heh heh heh heh heh]

[Can’t you see the future with your clairvoyance?]

[A black haze envelops the whole place. I have no idea what is going to happen. This is interesting.]

[Useless! But the bottom line is that Darling is in danger, right? Then I have to go. I don’t know if it’s a forbidden technique or what, but I can destroy everything, can’t I? I’m the best at that!]

Rising from her throne, Lumiel was tremendously motivated, unlike a moment earlier.

With a flap of her pure white wings, she gathered her strength, leaped at once, and flew out of the palace in the blink of an eye.

The remaining maid tells him.

[She doesn’t even know where the Master is, you short ……. Is it alright, Beelzebub-sama? To unleash such a beast of prey into the wild?]

[Heh heh heh. It’s more fun that way.]

[It seems like they could have gone on a spectacular rampage and messed up the empire.]

[Then that’s the time. …… It would be fun to have an all-out war with his country for the first time in a long time.]

Beelzebub fished the corners of his mouth as if to say that he would rather that that happen.
