HeroxMaou Chapter 12

At night, Cecilia couldn’t help feeling uneasy.

why

Goblin had eaten dinner with them and then was lead to the guestroom. Since he must be tired after coming all the way here from the demon lord’s castle on his own, she naturally wanted him to rest. She also wanted him to save her though.

——What could, the request be?

ah

The hero, Oliver still has not made his request.

In exchange for meeting Goblin, she had to listen to his request. She still doesn’t know what it will be and honestly, she doesn’t feel like it will be anything good at all.

yeah

“…………”

run?

Endless, worry.

red a bok?

“Isn’t there, something to drink…….?”

…that works…..?

In the cute room Oliver had prepared.

A bed with a canopy with plenty of lace. Furniture that seemed like they contained the soul of their makers. All of them were first-cla.s.s goods.

only the best

So that Cecilia could live without any inconvenience. Oliver had prepared the room with that in mind, yet there is no water pitcher.

Feeling the dryness in her throat, Cecilia had no choice but to go to the living room.

Of course not preparing a water pitcher was a plan of Oliver’s to lure Cecilia to the living room——-but Cecilia wouldn’t even think of that.

dirty

“Why, can I be free in this house…….”

i’m not sure if that is free

Because she is the demon lord, she can’t complain even if she is thrown into a jail.

In fact, she felt like asking why she is not put in a jail.

Quietly sleeping out of her room, she headed to the living room. She has become slightly used to walking through this mansion. While thinking of that, she opened the door, praying Oliver wasn’t there.

speak of the devil

But, Cecilia’s prayer was easily shattered.

a trap

“Hm? What’s wrong, Cecilia? Couldn’t sleep?”

“…………no.”

dont act dumb

Seeming to have just come out of the bath, Oliver greeted Cecilia with his upper body naked and a towel draped over his shoulders.

Making a face like she had bitten something bitter, Cecilia sighed, thinking she really should have just endured her thirst.

yep

“Ah——a drink? I’ll brew you some tea right now.”

“…………”

…….

Why was it exposed so easily. Oliver went off to the kitchen with a bright smile to brew the tea.

She thought about using this chance to go back to her room, but she felt bad abandoning Oliver who was brewing tea for her.

In fact, if she abandoned him and went back to her room, he would probably follow her there, thinking that, Cecilia trembled. In that case, it is still better to stay here. With no other choice, she sat in the sofa, and s.p.a.ced out for about five minutes. Having brewed the tea, Oliver came back with a smile.

smart

“Here, drink up. My princess.”

“…….thank you.”

not yours

Obediently saying her thanks, she accepted the tea from Oliver.

As she brought it to her lips and slowly sipped, warmth spread through her body.

what a good girl

“…………”

awkward silence?

Silence flowed between them, but Oliver watched Cecilia sip the tea with an constant smile.

He felt like he could stare at her forever, but that was not the case for the Cecilia who was being stared at. She mentally screamed at him to stop staring, but Oliver magnificently ignored it.

stahp

After a long silence, Oliver spoke.

what

“Hey, Cecilia.——Can I make the request?”

“……!”

nein!

Hearing those words, Cecilia’s body twitched.

Putting the tea she head back on the table, she looked at Oliver with trembling eyes. Oliver who found even that face cute is already at terminal stage.

he was there long ago

“Wha, what do you want to make me do…….”

“It’s not like I’ll say something that difficult you know? Actually, Cecilia doesn’t really need to do anything.”

“…………?”

sspicious

Hearing Oliver’s words, Cecilia grew more and more uneasy.

bad premonition

Not having to do anything means Oliver will be doing something to her. Will she be tortured? She hugged her small body tightly.

She could probably endure it, but she doesn’t like pain.

no one does

“…….under, stood. Because it’s a promise, torture me or do what you want.”

dont say that

Closing her eyes tightly, Cecilia averted her face.

He invited in the demon lord’s subordinate, Goblin, into the mansion, served him dinner and prepared a room for him to stay in. She can’t complain no matter what is done to her.

In the first place, the demon lord Cecilia is a prisoner. The time for conviction just came slightly earlier——that’s it.

calm down

Seeing Cecilia trembling with her beautiful eyes closed, Oliver smiled wryly.

a.s.sure her

“Cecilia, do you want to be tortured?”

“……”

not like that!

Oliver’s low voice, was whispered right into Cecilia’s ear.

She unintentionally opened her closed eyes and gave a small shake of her head. Even if she knows she is to be tortured, not many people would say please torture me! on their own.

While trembling at Oliver who had come close, she denied it.

calm down

“I see, that’s good. Liking to be tortured or something, I thought Cecilia had strange interests.”

“Wh, a……”

nope

——No, way!

She wanted to scream, but since Oliver was close by, she couldn’t.

do it anyway

“Well, that seems fun in it’s own way though.”

“……!”

dont!

hiii.

run!

Cowering at Oliver’s words, she tried to stand up from the sofa to escape——but in front of her, Oliver had both hands on the sofa’s armrests, so she had no way to escape.

Cecilia could only regret——-she really should have just endured her thirst.

end

hmm….by this point I’ve translated more chaps then the pre-revamp….but in terms of plot progress still not caught up…..well, I’m close, and

Hecate’s (most likely not to be achieved) goal: finish up HeroxMaou by end of November.

Just throwing that out there to push myself.

also I want to remind people that HeroxMaou is not the actual t.i.tle but smth shorter I came up with……it seems to be saved under that t.i.tle in NU……..
