Harem Tales of a Reincarnated Elf Prince

Chapter 12 - Encounter with the Demon Lord

I opened the door without hesitation.

Then, the appearance of the room came to my view.

This seems to be the audience chamber of the Demon Lord.

Many things such as flags of the Demon Lord are hanging down from the high ceiling,

and dozens of luxurious chairs are placed at the back of the room when dozens of people are likely to enter.

I’m used to seeing gorgeous stuff like this because of my father’s status, so this doesn’t affect me one bit.

The problem is the person sitting there. This was slightly out of schedule after all.

I thought the Demon Lord is more of a rough and tough guy, but this......

"What’s wrong, Elf Prince. Aren’t you coming?"

The demon Lord sitting down asked me in a sneering tone.

However, it was a beautiful woman. This is unexpected.

Flowing silvery hair, light brown skin.

A body so attractive that it wouldn’t yield to a succubus’.

And although not as much as Glinnis, she’s also wearing quite an extreme attire.

"Hey, are you listening?"

Did she think of my silence as distrust towards her? Knitted her brows in unease.

"Ah, my apologies. I was so fascinated by such a beautiful woman like you, your Majesty"

"Fascinated? Ahahahaha, you’ve got quite the guts"

Though I said it without any fabrication, she seems to have thought it was a joke.

"But I wasn’t lying about it? Among the women I have ever seen, it’s just so difficult to take my eyes off you"

Both her features and her body are pretty much my type.

Well, lately I’ve been meeting those kinds of women recently.

"You’ve got the good tongue, but even if you do anything, the results will not change"

The Demon Lord declared, watching me.

She watched me with eyes that are completely hostile to me. Negotiations will be difficult.

That’s what I felt, but I still tried to speak, even though it’s not a good sign.

"You may have already known, but I’ll still introduce myself. I am Allan vi Alling"

"I already know, Prince of Elves Allan"

As following my introduction, she named herself this time.

"I am Beatrice. The Queen of Lachmaheim, and the Demon Lord that rules over all demons"

"And the fact that you’re waiting for me means you already know my purpose?"

When she heard my question, she nodded, then spoke.

"You have been gathering branches of the King Trees of other counties to unite Algarde......or so as I heard"

"That is correct, and for it, we need your power"

I got close, with my arms outstretched to show that I don’t have any weapon.

However, the Demon Lord stared at me without moving from her presence.

"Peace is the most abhorrent thing for the Demons. It’s impossible"

"Is there any way around?! Is there something that we can do?"

"You’re too persistent......You can go now. Just be grateful for having the chance to speak with me in this way"

If she’s really motivated, she would probably be on the offensive, now that I realized.

"I appreciate the point, but I don’t want to end it somehow without grasping your intentions"

To be honest, I’m already quite tired from my actions being the succubus partners.

I’m not confident that I’ll win if I were able to confront with the Demon Lord here.

But I may not have the chance of meeting her like this again. I have to not let this moment go to waste.

"Then with me, why don’t we unite this world as one? Our fate lies by your own decision"

"The world as one......huh"

It seems that the change of words has caught her ears.

Then I’ll try to make her listen more!

"That’s right, to unite the world as one. Your name will forever be in books and statues of you will be made, and you will be a legacy!"

I tried to propose the other advantages and merits further, but the Demon Lord still doesn’t move.

Then with a bang! She hit the arm of her chair.

"Enough. I am not interested in such kind of things"

Having cut off all my words, she declared unto me this time.

"To tell you the truth, my purpose is the same as yours - for the unification of the world"

"Then this talk is - "

"But, unlike yours, mine is different. For I truly intend to unify this world and make it into one nation"

She then gave a smile at me.

That smile is so beautiful, yet it’s also thin and cold.

My instincts are already screaming, that this is not good.

"My method, of course is the conquest by we, the demons ourselves"

"Conquest? But you have already defeated once"

"Yes, and at that time. We certainly did a bad job"

"And this time, you will end up being defeated by the Alliance. If that happens, then your Country will truly disappear!"

Humans will forgive a country that started the war twice.

My father and the Spirit King too, will continue fighting until all the Demons are annihilated.

"Do you think it will just be the same as last time? I have already prepared a plan for that"

"A plan? What is it......"?

"Hm, do you think I will teach you? Even if you’re already dead, I won’t tell you"

No good, her lips are tight.

And here I got carried away and expected her to talk about it.

"We will be opening our hostilities soon. Just sit back while you bite your nails here"

The Demon Lord’s eyes became sharp. This woman is really motivated.

But I too have already ready to put my hands and feet to the test, and prepare for her attack.

"Do you think I’ll let myself get caught that easily?"

"That depends on your hard work"

Still smiling at me, The Demon Lord Beatrice stood up.

Her manners are elegant and graceful, and no sense of tension can be seen from them.

However, this made me unable understand how will she attack.

"It was nice talking to you before we depart. Run for your life well"

After saying that, Beatrice raised her hand.

The moment that hand was directed at me, I put my strength in my legs and jumped sideways.

At the next moment, an intense flame burned down the spot where I just was.

"Hey, hey! Are you killing me?"

"And what’s wrong with that? Your puny life has of no concern for the likes of me"

The Demon Lord spoke as she aimed at me again.

"Don’t you even have the concept of a hostage? I am more useful if I live!"

I shouted at her while trying to escape from the fire.

However, I don’t think I really hold such value.

Before I left, my father declared that everything will be of my responsibility on this trip entirely.

There is a high possibility that I will be ignored if I was made hostage.

"My strategies do not need of any hostages in order to win!"

Then she continued attacking me again and again.

Unfortunate for her, I’m still intact as she somehow kept on missing.

Still, if this situation goes on I will definitely get a direct hit at some point.

I don’t want to become an Elf Barbecue. I have to do something!

"You really worked hard. Then how about this!"

Before I came up with a better idea, Beatrice already took her next action.

She aimed her other hand at me, then released flame embers twice in a row.

"Fuck! I thought offensive magic has high degree of magic consumption. What the hell is this!?"

I avoided it desperately, but the flame reached at me little by little.

She’s not just attacking in succession. Her timing is shifting in each time.

I sharpened my senses to avoid it, my concentration was cut down quickly because of this.

To make things worse, I can’t have a chance to draw my sword due to the consecutive amount of attacks.

All I can do is wait for her to run out of magic.

However, as if reading my thoughts, Beatrice called out.

"If you’re aiming for my magic power to run out then you should give up. Why do you think I achieved the position of the Demon Lord? Though there are several reasons, one of them is my amount of magic power"

"Because you are the Demon Lord, that your magic power is also enormous? Guahh!"

"Oh, did you just failed to avoid that? How regretful"

My legs and loins that accumulated fatigue from the succubi got entangled, failing to respond right away.

As a result, I wasn’t able to avoid the flames and received a single blow.

Luckily all that is scorched is my clothes. But I knew very well that there’s no next time.

"Now, it should end with this. Die"

Beatrice indifferently cast a magic on me.

"I cannot just die in a place like this!"

I squeezed all of my strength to dodged that blow, but the place where I’m about to land shone suddenly.

After that, glowing chains protruded from the floor, and wrapped around me entirely.

I tried to remove it at once, but it’s harder than real steel and surrounded my hands and feet.

"Ugh......I thought you’re going to kill me. Is that a bluff?"

I looked bitterly at Beatrice.

After dusting off the residue of the flames of her hand, she looked down at me, befitting of a Demon Lord’s character.

I really thought so at first, but you’re pretty tough"

Then she waved her hand, making the chain move me upright.

"Be pleased, for I will kill you last. Just wait for the report that your homeland is destroyed in our prison"

"You’re such a good character, really"

"Ahahahah, of course I am. We are the Demons that you hate the most after all"

I was then dragged to prison with those magical chains that moved all by itself.

Sigh, Cecil will get mad at me again......
