Chapter 197 – 16. Waiting (12)

“Really… Can you… ?”

Even knowing what Valdes would say.

“Of course. With the rest of the Imperial Family, if you like.”

“Ah…”

Vilma couldn’t stand it and let out an exclamation.

It wasn’t because of what Valdez said at the end.

A sweet temptation whispered by the demon prince. Through it, Vilma was able to be a little more tolerant of her own heart. He could n’t tell him what he was holding back, but he still wanted his help her.

If it was simply getting close to her 4th princess, Theresia, he could do it alone. The process will be very arduous, though. But she also wanted something else. She wanted more. She hoped to get rid of the trashy admirers who were trying to ruin her cute and good sister her.

She also wanted to tear down the mage tower that bound her brother her.

Valdes had the power to do that.

“Valdes-sama… You must know what I want, even if I don’t tell you, right?”

“I don’t know everything, but I’ll solve everything within the scope of what I know.”

“… Kyahaha. That… I really like that.”

It wasn’t a definitive answer, but it was enough for Vilma.

Valdez looked at Vilma, who was smiling happily with a quiet smile on his lips. She was really satisfied. And at the same time, it was a cruel and frightening expression somewhere. Perhaps she was unaware of Vilma herself, but she was.

Looking at her face her, he was convinced.

After all, Vilma is the emperor’s daughter.

Because of her personality her, I wondered if her mother’s blood her was thicker, but it was also the blood of the long-standing imperial family. It was a blood line that was so strong that it completely suppressed the lineage of most aristocratic families. And that power was coming from Vilma as well.

“Okay then, the conversation is over for now. Shall we go see Robert?”

“Okay! …Ah, before that, go see them.”

“Monsters? What, yes.”

He wondered if he had to see the monster, but when Vilma insisted, he nodded.

Although he was the one who asked about the modification of the monsters, he didn’t care much about the monsters. He said that he didn’t care as long as he could follow orders from any monster. Some of them would be used anyway because they could give a big shock just because they were monsters.

Then, seeing the monsters that Vilma remodeled, I couldn’t help but admire them.

“Wow, that’s crazy…”

“Isn’t that great? I had a hard time making these. But it was pretty fun!”

He thought as he watched Vilma speak lively.

No matter how much she is a warlock, her major would be dark magic, but looking at her now, she seemed to be more focused on chimera, taming, or her modification of her. Although she still has n’t had a chance to show her full potential of her, Vilma was a true warlock.

‘I don’t know if being a warlock is truly a compliment.’

Deep in his thoughts his, Valdez soon turned his gaze back to the monster.

A very great change was visible.

Aside from the fact that his muscle mass his had increased considerably compared to the previous time, his lower legs his were insanely good. In fact, being great was an inappropriate word for a monster, but it seemed very suitable for achieving what he wanted.

“Good. I’m very satisfied.”

Hehe, that’s right!!”

“Then let’s go.”

“Eek! Already?!”

Valdez looked at Vilma, who was startled by his fuss her, in dismay. Where did the 1st princess who dreamed of conspiring with her just now go, leaving only such a foolish and stupid warlock. Even though she was aware of her duality of her, it was equally awkward.

Glancing at Vilma, he turned his back and left the room without hesitation.

“Huh? Go, let’s go together!”

Vilma, who shouted and chased after Valdez, treated Valdez more comfortably, perhaps because she had confided in her a little. It wasn’t arrogant or rude though, so Valdez didn’t care too much.

The two of them, who had become close to each other, soon arrived at the prison where Robert was being held.

A woman who was once a male archmage was contemplating how to get out of the prison while being chained so that she could not move properly. She said that her sleep, food and hygiene were minimal to her. At least it was an advantage that came about thanks to the body of a homunculus.

“Oh, it suits you better than I thought.”

“… ?”

Robert, who had been lost in thought with his head down, looked up. His eyes widened when he saw Valdes and began to tremble violently.

A person other than Vilma that I saw after waking up as a female homunculus. Her head spun violently, beginning to identify her opponent her. When she saw Vilma, who was walking about two steps diagonally from behind the boy, she could easily identify her identity as her.

She grew at Valdez.

“Are you… The one who imprisoned me in this body?”

“That’s right, Robert. No, is it Roberta now?”

Seeing the boy reply with a smirk, Robert gritted his teeth. But even that didn’t last long. She had been confined here for dozens of days and had so many questions.

“Who are you? How did you know this place? Why did you make me like this? What’s your ulterior motive! I’ve never seen you…!”

The endless stream of questions was interrupted by Valdez raising his hand.

“Calm down. I also have a lot of things I want to tell you. …Unlike you, I don’t have any questions.”

“…”

Despite his rather kind tone of his, Robert did not let go of his tension.

If he was kind to himself, he couldn’t have made it this way in the first place. And his eyes his. The boy’s eyes his, which did not seem to be in agreement, were full of hostility, anger, and resentment towards him. As if he himself was roaring out to the world.

“Let me introduce myself first. My name is Valdes. I am the Demon Prince.”

“The Demon Prince? The next Demon King?”

In fact, most of the questions could be answered with just the word demon prince.

She was a member of the party of warriors who defeated the demon king. If it was related to the demons, especially the demon king, the boy’s emotions were understandable. Of course, there were still many things I didn’t understand. For example, how she found this place, or why Vilma was with the demons.

And, crucially, Robert felt strange about the boy. Familiar yet unfamiliar. It feels like a very long time ago. A feeling similar to what Valdez felt for her.

“And at the same time.”

“… ?”

“He was also the warrior Pedro.”

“?!”

“It’s been a while, Grand Mage.”

The former warrior laughed.

The former hero’s former colleague, the great mage, Robert, looked up at Valdez, who had approached the bar with a dazed expression as if the accident had stopped. The response was that I couldn’t quite understand what he was saying.

Then his pupils slowly dilated, and his mouth his opened. He wants to say something, but his vocal cords are in such a big shock that he can’t accept the situation. A word soon came out of her mouth.

“I-I… Raw alcohol… ?”

“Oh? You know this?”

I couldn’t have known

Robert, who dreams of a second life, has conducted various investigations not only in the Empire and the Mage Tower, but also in various places. It was a useful means to satisfy his magical knowledge and increase his skills. The most interesting thing here was the magic of the demons who were not well known on the continent.

Right after the war, he tortured the demons who couldn’t escape the continent or were hiding, and obtained a lot of magic knowledge. Among them, there was also something about reincarnation. However, few people knew the proper magic formula, and the information itself was lacking. Therefore, this approach had to be abandoned.

However, the word Hero Pedro and the appearance of the demons reminded her of the art of reincarnation.

“No, nonsense… Nonsense… ! !How, how could you survive in that situation…?!”

While talking gibberish, Robert recalled the incident Vilma had mentioned a few days ago.

Vilma knew about the hero’s assassination. If the person she served was the reincarnation of the hero Pedro, her person her, etc., It was natural for her to know about it. It was shocking to the point of being ridiculous, but if the boy in front of me was a hero, most of them were correct.

The only thing I couldn’t understand was how he was able to reincarnate as a demon.

“Well, that’s none of your business.”

“Uh, why… !!”

“Yeah, you’re a wizard. I can’t stand it when I have questions. Do I really need to tell you that?”

“… !!”

Valdez smiled evilly.

“I think I’ve told you enough to tell you. Keep wondering?”

“Ooh, laugh, don’t be funny!!”

Robert raised a knife to his eye.

The hero and the great mage weren’t that friendly. The age difference had a significant effect, but it was largely to blame for Robert’s awkward and awkward treatment of Pedro out of jealousy. Still, because they had been together for nearly two years, they had built up a certain amount of friendship, and had conversations related to the warrior studying magic.

Because of this, they knew each other quite well.

Robert’s curiosity and desire for knowledge were great in proportion to his magical talent. He didn’t hide it either, and the warriors were all well aware of it. Even with such trivial things, Valdes was bothering her.

“I have more to tell you, though.”

“Uh, what… !”

Robert’s expression softened at Valdez’s words. But that only led her to more despair.

“Your destiny lies in the future.”

“!!”

“What am I going to do to you?”

“Ahhh…”

“You have a very rich imagination. So, just what I tell you will make you anxious and afraid.”

“No no…”

“Isn’t it one of the greatest talents as a wizard? Until now, I would have appreciated that imagination… But it will be different now.”

Each one of her avenger’s words her, smiling brightly, flew at her and became her dagger her. There was nothing she could do about being so powerless. Even more so, the opponent is the warrior Pedro. She knew very well how vengeful she would be for the man who tried to kill her.

To the visibly shocked and desperate homunculus, Valdes calmly told him his plan.

“I have five things to do with you. I already did the first one. Your body.”

Valdez scanned Robert’s body up and down.

The naked body of a beautiful homunculus woman.

The body that he specially ordered from Vilma and made some modifications was a figure full of the ideal type of a certain man. It was only natural that he was beautiful because he gathered the ideal type of an extremely ordinary man. Even so, Valdes did not feel the slightest desire for the naked body.

“You’ll know things like appearance and body shape when you see them, so let’s go over it. What’s more important than that is that ability.”

“…”

“First of all, it has excellent regenerative power. It regenerates most wounds in an instant. And the muscles are flexible.

In her despair, she felt strange.

Everything Valdez was saying now was to his advantage. Once he made good use of his flexible muscles and regenerative power, he could have escaped this narrow prison. Even if you gradually put off the fact that you will be caught soon through magic.

“There are other advantages as a homunculus. Things like sleep and hunger.”

The demon prince laughed.

“However.”

Thinking of the cruel facts I will tell that traitor from now on.

“No magic or physical powers. You felt it. And all this for other plans.”

“…”

“Isn’t it strange? Why did I put you in a female body?”

“?!”

Robert was stunned.

That was the part I didn’t think too much about.

I thought it was just to mock myself, to give a sense of incongruity, and to make a weak body. But all three made no sense. There were many better means than ridicule or sense of incongruity. Rather, there were ugly faces, and there were also non-human animals. And even the male body could become much weaker if you touched the yard, which is a homunculus.

Then there was only one thing left.

“The second, then the third.”

Valdez declared.

“From now on, you will be surrounded by countless monsters and low-level demons…”

Her future her.

“It’s going to be a lust dumpster.”
