Harem Tales of a Reincarnated Elf Prince

Chapter 1 – Captive

Beatrice’s POV

——————

The Elf prince was then removed from my presence.

Having confirmed it, I returned to my throne again.

"With this, it’s a little quieter now. The only problem is......"

The luxuriously decorated audience chamber is now full of soot, dirt and burnt spots.

Indeed, it’s the aftermath of my magic, but I never thought I would lead up to this point.

To be honest, I’m quite surprised.

But as long as he got caught in that chain, it’s all over.

Those chains are originally granted immunity to magic powerful enough to capture any demon.

Even if he can use magic, he won’t be able to escape.

"It’s about time"

I looked out of the window. The sun is about to go down.

There was a knock on the door, but this time, I was expecting it.

"Enter"

The door opened without any sound, and from there, a Demon entered. It’s the usual staff officer.

However, once the always calm officer saw the disastrous scene of the room, his eyes almost pop in surprise.

"Y-your Majesty! What happened......"

"A rat has entered the room. I’ve already caught it and thrown to prison"

“What...... My deepest apologies! I will go check for any deficiencies immediately!"

"No, it’s not needed. Also, didn’t you have a report for me?"

As if he just remembered, he corrected his posture right away.

"Yes, your Majesty. Our legion, all the sortie preparations are complete. We are ready to strike at anytime"

"I see. You’ve done well"

I nodded in joy on the brought news.

With this, we can now finally exterminate the hateful humans and elves.

"The morale of the soldiers is sky high, that they are already struggling to suppress their desires to jump out at them at any moment"

"Oh, then let’s not keep them from waiting. Order the entire army to dispatch!

"Our target is Bivnaheim, isn’t it?"

"Yes. Let’s catch them off-guard with an ambush, then take them by storm all at once"

"Understood!"

Once the staff member confirmed, he left the room to pass the order.

"Today, we have taken the first step to conquer the whole world"

I took a deep breath as I leaned on the chair.

All the hard work I have been enduring for a long time - they are about to be rewarded now.

After a while, I heard a loud cheering from the outside of the window.

The order has been issued.

And now, my Demon Army will finally make a sortie.

Ah, I want to listen to the reports of the last moments of those countries soon.

Cecil’s POV

————————–

It has been several hours since Allan-sama left.

I wonder if he has already reached to the Demon Lord?

We have no choice but to wait.

Cecil, are you worried about the Prince?"

Someone spoke to me from behind.

I turned back, only to see Fran-san standing there.

"......Yes. No matter what the circumstances may be, it’s still dangerous to go alone"

When Allan-sama said that he would go alone, I objected. At least he should bring at least three of us.

But he didn’t accept it.

"Am I not trusted?"

"It’s not like that, but the reverse. Prince trusts Cecil the most"

"How does Fran-san understand?"

I’m always beside Allan-sama, but what is this sense of defeat from Fran?

Is it because I was such a weak person from the start? I can’t help but think such things.

"I told you, it’s not like that, there’s no way he doesn’t trust you"

Her expression became a little more gentle than usual.

"I ...... see. We can’t do anything but believe in him"

Now that Allan-sama has already gone, we now have to play our part.

Even if the worst thing happens, we have to keep our promises.

While I was lost in thought, the outside of the inn suddenly became noisy.

"What on Algarde is that?"

"Wait. I’ll go look"

Fran stood up and leaned forward the window.

Then, she immediately withdrew, panicking on what she had seen.

"This is terrible! It’s an army of Demons!"

Se who does not usually show much emotion is now in a state of panic.

I quickly confirmed it from the window.

A large number of Demons are marching in rows.

It’s not a hundred or two. Right now, there is large army of more than a thousand strong.

"No way......this means they are going to war"

I braced myself on the next words of Fran.

She’s right. There is no way for the Demons to amass this large number of troops, unless they are prepared for war.

"But it’s not possible to go out right now, in this situation......"

We elves will surely attract attention in the middle of the city of Demons.

According to Glinnis, there are no Demons monitoring this place, but there will be no guarantee once we go outside.

And getting out in the city where the army is now advancing is like telling us to get caught.

"I can only pray for Allan-sama’s safety"

While I was tormented by my helplessness, I looked towards the Demon Lord’s Castle.

Allan-sama should be there.

Please......please be safe......

Allan’s POV

————————–

Still with the magic chains attached, I was brought to a dark dungeon.

And then I was placed in a cell.

"Ow ow ow......this chain really doesn’t know how to take it easy!"

I let out a curse, but of course, the chains didn’t even budge.

But a surprising thing happened. The chain released me by itself, , then it wrapped around the entrance of the jail, locking the door in place.

It’s ability to capture, drag and lock people inside all by itself is truly a marvelous thing.

"Haa......it’s not the time to think about this......"

I sighed and laid myself to the floor.

I’ve been thinking of running away from this place, I still feel my stamina lacking.

Fortunately, I didn’t have a big injury, and soon I’ll be fully recovered in a short time.

Because I have high physical abilities, my wounds heal quick.

"however, I still have my weapons taken away. What should I do......"?

Not to mention my sword, but my dagger at my bosom has also been taken.

It’s just a chain, but it’s really clever.

Or is it because the Demon Lord is way better in handling her magic?

As I thought about it more and more, the more likely I think I won’t beat Beatrice.

There is only fear as I recall her figure trying to kill me with flames I her hands.

I have to rest for a while, just to ease my mind.

Apparently, my physical strength is gradually being restored.

"Nice, let’s start a little digging"

I got myself up, and examined the cell in various ways.

However, it’s too narrow so there are only a few places to check.

"There are no windows because it’s the underground, and the walls are so thick"

I tried hitting the wall with my fists, but I understood that it was really quite thick based on my sensation.

Well one thing’s for sure. These Demons are sure proud of their power.

"But now, I really have no way out. Sigh......"

I’m being surrounded by walls at all sides, but it also grew my impatience more as time went by.

If I fold my hands here, then the Demon Lord’s invasion will surely begin.

Before that I need to get out of here and make her give up the invasion.

"Hey, open up!"

I tried to kick the door which was the thinnest part of the cell with all my strength.

However, it it’s not even dented at all.

I can’t break the lock because the chain is wrapped around it......I’m so weak"

I gave up my forceful breakthrough and sat down on the floor again.

Time passed without me doing anything

Then, my patience has already reached its peak.

Suddenly, I heard footsteps from the other side of the door.

I jumped up, and listened to the situation.

It doesn’t matter who the opponent is. This is the only chance for me to flip my card around.

I made up my mind to do whatever it takes to go outside.
