Demon King Reincarnation Chapter 15

“Hehe, hehehe.”

I was wearing a platinum gold dress that shimmered with the seven colors of the rainbow, with the ice crystal pendant made from Heath’s gift around my neck. My hair was tied with a hair accessory made from wings I s.n.a.t.c.hed off of a fairy. My shoes were made of fine gold, and fit me perfectly.

Today as well, today as well, I’m so beautiful!

“Ojou-sama, you look beautiful.”

“Ha, of course!”

“Today there’s going to be a victory celebration over the other countries at the royal palace. Ojou-sama, please calm down.”

That’s how it is. According to my first life’s memories, it should have been a normal party today, but due to my interference, it’s become a victory celebration instead. Well, the problem is that it seems that Hendra will attend today’s party as well. ……No wait, why is someone like me getting caught up worrying about what will happen in the original story? I’m the Demon King. My soul shall live freely, without constraints, doing as I like. I’m going to get in the way of Heath and Hendra’s love, there’s no way I’d do something like cheer them on. The reason why I’m helping Hendra level up is that, it’s more fun to take out a stronger enemy than a weak one.

“Oi, are you ready yet?”

“Ahh, brother. It’s fine to enter, I’ll allow it.”

Today for the first time, Sujata will be partic.i.p.ating in a n.o.bles’ party. I hired a famous tutor known for Spartan teaching methods to drill the etiquette necessary for today’s party into him. Riley told me that his memory was good and that he already had the basic knowledge of etiquette so it went well.

Sujata entered my room with his usual grouchy look on his face. However, even the way he stood seemed very n.o.ble-like. He seemed very much like the heir to a duke.

“Ohh. You’ve become quite something to behold.”

“I can’t stand this.”

“Well then, brother? It’s time for you to escort me.”

“Sigh……”

He took my hand with a smile that looked forced, as if he hated touching me, with a refined, practiced movement. You little country b.u.mpkin brat, just wait and take a good look at him.

The party venue had been decorated with the country’s colors sparkling everywhere. I went around to introduce Sujata to everyone. He was received very well. Particularly the teenage girls were all staring at Sujata with shining eyes. He quickly became the center of attention. Sujata masked his true thoughts well and was able to converse with everyone with a grin.

Just as I planned.

“Onee-sama ♥”

It’s Marie. She’s wearing gothic loli style today as well.

“Good day, Marie-sama.”

“Good day, onee-sama ♥ Ahh, you look lovely today as well ♥ I really want to lick and eat you up~ ♥ Ah! Is the person next to you the rumored……?”

“Greetings, daughter of a viscount, Mariequant-sama. My name is Sujata Angelique. I often hear things about Lady Mariequant from my younger sister. I’m not used to places such as these, so I’ll be in your care.”

“I’ll be in your care as well ♥”

Sujata’s mask where he was hiding his real thoughts seems to have fallen off involuntarily just a little there. I didn’t miss the fact that at seeing Marie in her goth loli clothes, his mouth fell open for a few seconds.

“Ah, onee-sama? That thing about leveling up Hendra-sama, it’s mostly completed.

“Is that so, thanks for all your trouble, Marie-sama.”

“Hehehe, I’m looking forward to what you have in store for her, onee-sama ♥”

Looking forward to……? I wonder if it was really that odd to her.

At that moment, someone opened the door to the hallway with a loud bang. And then loud and ominous footsteps resounded throughout the hall. Everyone in the party venue was all abuzz.

The owner of those footsteps finally appeared. She was over two meters tall. She weighed more than 100 kilograms. Dressed in a refined yet simple pure white mermaid dress, it could be seen that she sported incredible biceps.

That person was – Hendra Rickson, daughter of a marquis.

“Ohh. Well done, Marie. So you’ve managed to level her up to that extent.”

“It’s no trouble at all if it’s for onee-sama ♥”

“Mmm. Little brat, you’ve become much inferior to me in beauty. Like this, you won’t be a problem as a love rival to me.”

Hendra scoured the party venue, and rushed over to find Heath.

“Heathcliff-sama! It’s been such a long time! It’s me, Hendra!”

“Ahh, Hendra. I haven’t seen you for a while, you look so different.”

“Really!? I, I’ve been working hard!”

Heath seemed to be even more interested in Hendra even after I polished her like this. Even though I’m so much more beautiful than she is, is Hendra really that great after all. Even though she may look different now, isn’t she still the same little country b.u.mpkin brat inside?

After greeting Heath, Hendra excitedly looked over the party venue again. And then, to where I was – she saw Sujata who was next to me and rushed over here without hesitation.

“Uh, um! Would you happen to be Sujata-sama!?”

Her voice was really loud, and she stood right in front of Sujata almost as if she were about to devour him.

“Yes I am, daughter of a marquis, Lady Hendra Rickson. What business would you have with me?”

“We’re both commoners that managed to become n.o.bility is what I heard! I really, really wanted to meet you! Um! You’re really cool! Please be my friend!!”

“…If you’re alright with someone like me.”

Sujata bowed deeply.

Mm.

As if I’m not here, this country b.u.mpkin isn’t even going to greet me, eh. She can’t even see me? Well whatever, this way it’ll be easier to crush the country b.u.mpkin with little resistance.
