“Just relax. I’ll take care of everything.”
“Eh…?”
The Demon King gently stroked my head with a serious expression.
I could only blankly look up at her.
Uh…?
N-no….
Really…?
In this incredibly confusing situation, I couldn’t even blink properly.
The Demon King gently laid me down on the bed and positioned herself above me, exuding a calm yet terrifying atmosphere like that of a lion.
“Ah… No, Mawangnim…”
“Don’t be scared. I’ll be gentle with you.”
Really… are you going to do that?
Right now…?
Like this…?
Caught off guard by the sudden turn of events, I was unable to resist as she charged at me like a bulldozer.
Having to give my body to someone else for the first time since Athena, I felt my body tremble with rejection.
“I… I don’t want to..”
I was still afraid of someone touching my body.
It was fine when I approached first, but accepting someone else’s touch was still hard to accept.
Of course, I had improved much more than before.
Lily. Iris. Athena. Mari. The precious ones who cared for me were now no longer as daunting to touch.
But that was limited to them. The Demon King was a completely different story.
Huf…!
Her finger lightly traced my belly.
Though it was just a gentle touch, my body shook violently with her movement.
Feeling that this couldn’t go on, I tried to push her away with both hands, but with her body as solid as a mountain, I was only flailing helplessly beneath her.
“You’re cute when you squirm.”
Her blood-red eyes were intensely swirling.
Looking into her gaze, I instinctively sensed that the Demon King wouldn’t stop no matter what I did.
Noticing my hesitation, the Demon King gently took my chin with her finger, forcing me to keep my gaze on her.
“Submit your body to me willingly. Then you can achieve what you desire.”
“W-what I desire…?”
As I asked with a trembling voice, the Demon King answered with a sultry smile.
“Yes. Who knows? If you fulfill my desires, perhaps even my cravings to rip apart humans might be satisfied as well.”
My heart raced at her words, and I began to feel a turmoil within.
Eliminating the Demon King’s lust…
That was the decisive goal I had hoped to achieve.
And she was saying it was possible with her own mouth.
If I just offered my body…
Athena and Lily naturally came to mind.
Those grateful girls who said they loved me despite my shortcomings.
If I surrendered my body to the Demon King, they wouldn’t like it.
They might see me as a cheap woman who easily offers herself and grow disillusioned with me.
But still…
If my single body could prevent them from facing a terrible war…
If it could create a peaceful world where they could live…
Even if they came to dislike me, even if they looked at me with disdain…
I would be okay with that.
“Stick out your tongue.”
I forced my trembling eyes shut and quietly stuck out my tongue.
“Ah… This is exciting.”
With a rough breath, the Demon King spoke.
As she finished her words, I felt her lips drawing closer to mine.
In that moment, as I tried to let go of everything and accept her,
“Stop it immediately!!!”
With a loud scream from a familiar voice, there was a bang! as something smashed loudly.
Startled awake by the sudden noise, I opened my eyes to see Lily bursting through the door, huffing and glaring at me with fiery eyes.
“Athena…? Lily…? And even Mari..?”
W-why are you all here?
“Finally showing your true selves, huh? You little rats.”
The Demon King smirked smugly, as if she had expected them to show up.
“What… How dare you look at my sister’s body…? I’ll tear you apart..”
Lily glare daggers at the Demon King, burning with rage.
“And not happening. No way.”
My daughter Mari mumbled with vacant eyes.
“Hera.”
Athena looked at me with a cold and chilling expression that made my legs weak.
“A-ah, Athena…”
“I wanted to trust you and just observe from behind… but this is unacceptable.”
“N-no, I’m…”
“If this is how far you’re willing to go to seduce her, just stop. No matter how much you throw a tantrum, I won’t permit it.”
While she was smiling, the atmosphere was anything but positive.
“If you keep going, I might have to kidnap you and confine you where you won’t be able to do anything.”
Hiiick..
She meant it.
Having known Athena for a while, I could tell.
She was speaking with complete honesty, without a shred of deception.
“How dare you disregard me. You have quite the gall.”
As I was flustered and at her mercy, the Demon King’s arm tightened around my waist and neck.
“Ugh..!”
“Sis!!”
Lily, who was about to run at the Demon King with the Sacred Sword, suddenly halted as the Demon King held out her hand to stop her.
“If you attack me now, this woman will also get hurt.”
“…..You… how dare you threaten with my sister’s body.”
“Do you not realize that you have three against one?”
With the Demon King’s jab, Lily’s face went pale.
After staring at the Demon King for a while, she gradually lowered her sword.
“I won’t attack, so let my sister go.”
“Why should I? I can just take this woman with me to the Demon Realm.”
“….Then I’ll chase after you and tear you apart somehow.”
The Demon King scoffed lightly at Lily’s fierce words.
“A mere fledgling like you to take on me? That level of delusion is excessive.”
“You….”
The tension was palatable, and it wouldn’t be surprising if Lily exploded at any moment. My mind raced to find a solution.
“Mawangnim… please stop this, it’s getting late. I’ll come see you again.”
I turned my head towards the Demon King.
Nothing good would come from them fighting here in a populated area. I had to do anything to stop it.
“Hm? How can I trust you to keep that promise?”
“Hera, stop talking nonsense. Why meet again?”
Athena’s growling voice echoed, but I kept my gaze on the Demon King and continued.
“Just… please believe me this once. Right? Nothing good would come from fighting like this…”
“…..”
Pouring my heart into my pleading, I spoke with sparkling eyes.
The Demon King seemed to ponder for a moment and then slowly nodded, looking at me.
“Fine. I shall withdraw this time. But the next time we meet…”
With a gentle smile, the Demon King whispered in my ear, her voice barely audible.
“You should be prepared to be ravaged like a beast until you faint from crying.”
Huf..!
Her horrific words sent chills down my spine.
With a trembling gaze, I looked at the Demon King, who glanced back at me with her blood-red eyes and let out an amused chuckle.
“It would be wise to come find me soon. Otherwise, calamity will descend upon some place again.”
With her final word, the Demon King began to rise from the bed and cast her teleportation magic.
But before she could leave, Lily rushed forward, etching the Sacred Sword into the magic circle.
“Do you really think I’ll let you escape?”
The Demon King raised one eyebrow at Lily’s fierce glare.
“Are you foolish or just naive? Do you truly value that woman?”
Lily, not understanding the Demon King’s question, crinkled her face and responded with a cold voice.
“What…? Of course..! I’m much better than you—”
“But are you really going to fight me with her right next to you?”
At the Demon King’s harsh words, Lily’s eyes began to tremble.
“How dare you risk the safety of someone dear to you due to your anger. Do you not understand why those monsters are not attacking?”
Athena clicked her tongue at the Demon King’s words, while Mari shot her a disgusted glare, yet neither could muster a counter to those words.
“I…. I just…”
Having been significantly shaken by the Demon King’s statement, Lily’s Sacred Sword began to tremble slightly.
“I have no desire to contend with a bug that doesn’t even understand its own feelings. Truly pathetic.”
With that, the Demon King cast her teleportation magic again.
But this time, Lily could not stop her.
In the end, the Demon King vanished without a trace, leaving only a chilling silence in the room.
The weighty atmosphere settled in around us.
Unable to bear the overwhelming tension, I managed to squeeze out a word.
“Uh… guys…”
That was my mistake.
Their fiery gazes turned to me in unison.
“Hera.”
“Sis.”
“Mom.”
The looks in their eyes felt like they could swallow me whole at any moment.
“Don’t you have something to say to us?”
“…. Hiiick.”
