"Alright, now it's time for me to tell you the tale of the unfortunate queen," A male voice was heard, and hearing him speak was calm and comforting.
"As you may have learned from the book, this continent is home to eight empires, or rather seven empires and one small kingdom inhabited by people of various races," He wasn't talking to himself because a young girl was sitting on his lap who was attentively listening to what he had to say every so often. Then, out of curiosity, the girl would lift her head slightly.
"Are you able to name any of the world's races?" Remarked the man as he tenderly stroked the head of the young girl sitting on his lap.
"Oh, let me think about that for a second," The girl's exclamation came as she was delightedly receiving a light pat on the top of her head.
"Humans are the ones I meet the most often, cute beasts, demons I've never seen, angels are old geezers who like to wear robes, and finally, fairies, if I'm not mistaken, they like to live in the forest," Said the young girl in a lively manner, and her description would take many people by surprise.
"You are smart, and while it's true that people of different races each have their own set of benefits, the explanation can be continued tomorrow because it's going to be so drawn out and boring," The man continued his story as the little girl's response had no effect on him, occasionally looking out the window while poking the adorable little girl's cheek.
The young girl gave a cheerful laugh in response, but she covered her mouth because she was afraid that she would be too loud.
"continued the story to the poor queen, saying that her father had been a king in a prosperous country and that one day, the king passed away, and many people believed that he had a mysterious disease. After what happened, her mother became depressed and retreated to her room. Since then, only her older sister has remained by her side, and she will do so until the day they finally part ways."
When the man said this in a tone tinged with melancholy, "many people born into noble families mostly suffer the same fate," the little girl lowered her head a little bit when she heard that.
"Do all of the king's uncles, aunts, and even cousins want their fair share of the king's power left behind?" Asked the young girl, putting on a cheery expression once more.
"to make a long story short, they crowned the eldest daughter of the previous king to be queen, but something terrible happened to her not long after becoming queen. She was killed while giving a speech to her people," the man said.
Ignoring her inquiry, the man went on, but he used his customary low and soothing voice this time.
"After the death of her older sister, now only the younger sister is left alone, and from here the story about the unfortunate queen began to become a legend that is known by a lot of people."
"At first, she became queen only as a substitute. But, every day since then, she has been controlled like a puppet for the benefit of those around her. As a result, day by day, her soul has become weaker."
Even the man's voice is losing some of its strength.
"Could it be because she is weak, so weak that she lacks the will to fight?"
Strangely enough, the ambiance in the room was also very peaceful, and the little girl was also very fixated on the story.
"In the night, the queen woke up from her sleep. She had a dream in which she met a demon, and the demon offered her an extreme power so that it could help her avenge the people who were around her."
After a brief period of silence during which he closed his eyes, the man finally spoke when he felt someone pull at his shirt—none other than the young girl.
"What happens to her after that? Does she lead a happy life?" Asked the young girl with an inquisitive expression on her face.
"Because of the power she gained from the demon, she was cursed to spend the rest of her life alone. Whether or not this makes her happy is unknown," The male responded as he gently rubbed the young girl's head.
"Ohh... Now that he's possessed the power of a demon, I'm curious to know, are you still stronger than her?"
"Of course not, this story existed long before I was born, and the poor queen was so powerful that her enemies feared her. Her strength level would likely exceed 70 if she were still alive," A chuckle escaped the mouth of the man as he spoke.
"Wow...." The girl shrieked as she opened her mouth widely, and the look of utter bewilderment on her face was absolutely precious.
"7...70, isn't she already the same legendary figure I read about in the library?" The young girl continued asked, who was filled with awe and admiration.
"It's possible... as you know, in this world, strength is measured by level, and an ordinary person might only reach level 30 in their entire life, while a king or queen if they have a lot of talent, can reach level 65."
Even though the man was the only one who explained anything during their conversation, the two continued to talk while discussing various topics. Meanwhile, the little girl kept asking all kinds of questions.
"So, what can you learn from the tale of the poor queen?" Questioned the man.
The girl's voice carried an air of excitement as she exclaimed, "Hmm...oh, I know, don't believe in the devil because he will curse you."
"It's not necessarily the devil's fault. If the queen is strong, she doesn't have to bother being tempted by the devil's offer. So, consequently, you have to be strong to prevent the same thing from happening to you as it did to the poor queen," The man said while cracking a grin.
"Therefore, it is up to you to guard me until I become powerful. After that, my responsibility will be to guard you, brother, Emilia's sister, and mother," The girl said this as she climbed down from the man's lap and turned around while pointing at the man's face.
"Based on how you've been training as of late, it seems as though I'll have to wait until you're old enough to bring me my sword before I can trust you with it," While he was teasing the young girl with tickles, the man sneered.
"hahahahahahaha... stop... just wait... hahaha... stop not there..."
The young girl laughed out loud as she tried to avoid being caught but was ultimately unable to get away.
"master" A woman's voice was suddenly heard coming from the direction of the door, but she spoke in a low tone as if she didn't want to disturb his master.
After a while, the man stopped tickling the child and then said "thank you very much for everything you've done, Sucht."
After that, there was a loud noise, the door opened wide, and someone's angry voice could be heard.
"Since I just got back to my own damn house, would it be possible for you to push back the date by a few days?" It was later determined that the voice belonged to Princess Emilia Von Kaiser.
Once free, the little girl ran away and hid behind Emilia after being set free.
"Alice, why are you here? The longer you spend with your older brother, the worse things will affect you," Emilia was surprised to see her younger sister.
"Emilia, welcome home! I will not waste time because I am busy, so please take a seat."
"Also, Alice, you do not have to go. You can observe and learn."
The man spoke in a collected manner as he sat back down, appearing unperturbed by whatever was transpiring in front of him.

In a room, there are multiple people, but the one that stands out the most is a man seated on a chair behind the table. In front of him are two women, one taller than the other.They all have the same characteristics. White hair, blood-red eyes, and almost identical faces. So yes, there is no doubt that they are siblings.- Hadrian Pov -As you are already aware, one of them is Emilia Von Kaiser, my older sister. I told her to come after she had just gotten home, which is why she is still wearing her armor, and it is understandable why she is upset.She looked like a goddess of war who was ready to slash the person in front of her with the sword around her waist, proving that the rumors about her being domineering beauty were absolutely accurate."Emilia, I am so happy to see you home! Please take a seat. I do not have time to waste because I am now swamped," After giving her a cordial greeting, I told her to take a seat even though I didn't care what she thought."Also, Alice, you do

However, a particular site allows you to customize the kind of practice you wish to engage in.After that, I went to the building with the high dome dedicated to practicing magic. As I approached the entrance, I could feel the powerful magic surrounding this place, and as soon as I entered, my body began absorbing the energy that had been amassed in this location.I could see Alice practicing magic in the middle of the vast field, accompanied by several maids and a middle-aged woman who appeared to be giving her direction.I can tell that Alice is exerting a lot of effort based on how she struggles to breathe and the fact that the maid occasionally wipes her sweat off her face.As I mentioned this morning, one of the things that give me pleasure is watching a person who is not talented put in a lot of effort but is ultimately unsuccessful.

There are three horse-drawn carriages going hand in hand through the forest area. Their journey appears to be uneventful, not only because they are safe from bandits but also because the roads they travel on are flat and made of a material similar to stone but not actually stone. These roads are not the bumpy ground typically found in remote areas.Because this region is still relatively close to the Zeitgeist imperial capital, all of the roads that lead to the city that is located nearby are kept in good condition and are guaranteed to be safe.There was only one way out of this region for anyone who broke the rules, and that was to die a horrible death in its entirety.Two people can be seen riding in the majestic carriage in the middle. Their identities are Hadrian Von Kaiser and his younger sister, Alice Von Kaiser."Hey brother, what's up with this trip?" Alice inquired eagerly, unsure how often she had already asked the question.I, who was feeling idle at the time, responded by

The trip they had been on for the past few days would only result in the discovery of a corpse in the middle of the forest.-Merchant Union Soldier Pov-"Don't you realize that the choices you've made will eventually lead to your demise?" I said that in an effort to wake them up in the hopes that it would make them retreat.Because I am a member of the Merchant Union, I am accustomed to the role of a delivery person.

In a condescending tone, the female guard who had cast the magic spell earlier added, "Keep your voice down, and if you disturb the young master and princess, I will immediately cut you off." The guard had been referring to Hadrian and Alice.My head began to spin as soon as I heard the guard's voice. The aura that she exuded was extremely menacing. The atmosphere that the bandit had just encountered was nothing compared to the aura emanating from the guard standing in front of him at that very moment.The young man froze in place and ceased his conversation instantly, displaying an anxious expression. The young man had no choice but to wait.Soon after, a number of guards exited their carriage and began walking toward the carriage that was located in the midst of the group."young master," stated one of the female guardsAn individual who was inside the carriage remarked, "I've heard your story.""Despite the fact that you've had a string of unfortunate events, you've also had the go
The Demon of Lust: Keep me entertained and you shall live The past is irrelevant, right, old man?
An old castle protected on all sides by a sturdy fort sits atop a hill that is not too lofty in elevation. People are still taken aback by this castle's large and majestic structure, even though it appears to have stood for hundreds of years.This castle is not a ruin that has been abandoned to the ravages of time. Instead, it is a castle maintained to a high standard and not weaker than or even more potent than a castle in another kingdom.This castle was bustling with activity, from carriages driving through the gates every few hours to several soldiers marching around the expansive castle grounds. There was also a kitchen staff preparing meals for the castle's residents.Those who heard it trembled in response, as the sound of their piercing screams was accompanied by the sound of swords or other metal weapons clashing.They had a higher volume of work than usual today. In the banquet hall, the maids were busy preparing delicious food and beverages while the soldiers went through w

Upon hearing my comments, the old man hastened off to get Sascha, leaving Alice and me to fend for ourselves here in the castle garden.This excellent and extensive garden makes me want to nap in a quaint little cottage close to the fish pond since it makes me feel so at ease.But just as I was about to stand up after spending considerable time sitting in this fountain, Alice remarked on something, "Geist Legion, huh? It's no wonder you've risen to such a high position in the palace. Did mother instruct you to manage it?""no, you might say, mother, just a generous investor who was sorely required at the perfect time, "I said it in a lighthearted manner, but after hearing Alice's query, I couldn't help but reflect on something else."Alice, you are free to relax for a little while before the workout we have scheduled for tomorrow," I then smiled to myself as I looked at Alice."Am I just going to go about my day as usual and practice my magic?" Alice inquired while assuming an upright

Remarked Sascha with a gentle tone and soft voice that, for some reason, exuded an undeniable air of endearment.I was speechless for a brief period of time, unable to respond to Sascha's words. After that, I moved closer to the bed and slowly climbed onto it.After that, I climbed on top of Sascha, who was now staring at me with a lustful expression and taking shallow breaths as though she was anticipating something.The more I examine Sascha in close proximity, the more I can see her beauty, which leaves me very impressed. She has a pointed nose and pink lips that appear very soft, and I can't wait to try tasting it."Young master, I'm getting impatient.

When I turned around to look behind me, I didn't see my brother's figure either.I heaved a sigh and made the decision to take a seat on a bench that was not too far away from me.From here, I have a clear view of a gorgeous sunset accompanied by a very calming atmosphere.Caused my heart, which had been beating rapidly, to begin to slow down, and it eventually returned to its normal, calm state."What is my older brother thinking?

Is there something else that's more important?" My mother spoke to me in a soft tone and with a questioning expression on her face, but all I did was respond with a wry smile and say something."It goes without saying that nothing is more important than mother, but before I come see you, I just wanted to make sure about something."I walked over to the sofa in the room that was vacant, and without giving it much thought, I sat down and made myself comfortable there.The absence of excessive decoration in this room gives it a very clean appearance, but it does not take away from the splendor on display.There are many books on the shelves, some ornamental plants with lovely flowers, an

This place also contains a large number of cells where prisoners are being held.When the prisoners heard the screams getting louder and louder, they immediately became terrified and tried to close their eyes. Some of them were already crying at this point.The scream was coming from one of the cells, and in front of the cell, it could be seen that there were already two women dressed in white robes and wearing masks that were engraved to describe an emotion.When you look inside the cell, there are already a few people there.

Cut off his legs and arms
- Hadrian Pov - The three of us have arrived at the entrance to the location where I will be going. Two female guards are already seen guarding a staircase leading to the underground with only an iron bar as a barrier. The stairs appear very deep because I can only see darkness from the outside. When I, Emilia, and Sascha came closer, the two guards immediately saluted, and without any further ado, one of the guards reached into her pocket, took out the key and opened the door with the iron grilles. When the metal door opened with a loud 'clank' sound, I was the first person to walk through it, followed by Sascha, and then Emilia came in last. Without looking back, I could tell they were both a little tense when they entered this place, but after seeing me descend through these dark stairs, especially Sascha, who looked wary but immediately followed me without thinking. Emilia, who was in the very back, wanted to follow my lead but was still hesitating a little bit. When she rea
