The Princess and The Apprentice

My Lord, everything is finished." Erie went to the man beneath the tree, who was standing in the shadows.

What about the Earl?"I will bring him, My Lord." Einrie was on her way to go get the Earl.

There is no need to achieve our goal of visiting this place. Simply murder him." He gave an order.

Einrie bows his head and turns to follow his Lord's instructions.

Because Forest Avar is so large, the fire won't be able to burn the entire forest, but it will be able to burn Earl Cromwell's fortress completely.

The boldness to approach his people and exploit them for financial gain.

The Earl is requesting death; sell them as a product.

While wandering the flaming stronghold, Demetrius noticed something on the ground.

It's not one of his people and it's not a demon. However, it was clear that the object was a slave owned by Earl Cromwell.

He asked himself, "What is this thing doing here?"

Demetrius knelt and gave the child a closer look.

It continues to exist. I mean, I was breathing heavily.

The child moaned in agony, "A-agh.."

He briefly saw the child open his eyes and look at him, but the moment passed and he returned to unconsciousness.

Demetrius is debating whether to keep the child with him or not. He shouldn't be concerned because it's not even a demon. It's just a child, human.

It grabs his finger as he is about to stand up.

The child's hand hardly has enough strength to fully grasp one of his fingers. Even though the child isn't very strong, he can pull his hand quite easily, but he doesn't. Nor does he know why.

"My Lord!" Einrie dialed.

As Einrie approached his Lord, he noticed that he was holding his finger with a child.

A child touching his Lord-how dare he?

The most revered and feared of all the Demon Lords?

Just as Einrie was about to ask his Lord, Demetrius emerged, bearing the child that was neither demonic nor known.

"Oh Lord, that's-

Demetrius interrupted Einrie before he could say anything more.

"I'm going to bring this kid.

Tell the other person to return.

"Declared Demetrius.

Afraid Einrie did as his Lord had instructed, Apostolic Domain

[Demon Castle]

"Mmm, n..."With a sigh, Estelle slowly opened his eyes. Ann alien ceiling. Is he no longer alive?

Do deceased people go here?

Estelle made himself sit upright.

All over, he felt weak. How is it possible for the dead to feel pain?

After rubbing her eyes, Estelle surveys the entire space. Her feet catch her attention, and they seem oddly small.

She looks at her hands right away, and they are also small. Her entire body is tiny!

What was her fate? Did she get smaller?

Not at all!

She knew right away that wasn't the case when she saw her hair.

She forced herself to go down to the bed, even though she still felt weak, and discovered how extremely high it was.

Tumbling onto her rear. She gets up and approaches a large mirror.

She then noticed a strange face there. A young person.

She recognizes something, and her eyes enlarge with shock. Something she is aware of that is improbable but not completely unfeasible.

"W-wait.. Did I... Did Reincarnate?"

And when she believed she could at last find peace.

Enraged, Estelle tightly clenches her child's hand. But I'm not sure with whom to take offense. The person who injured her was not someone who lived in the same universe as them.

What the f*ck do they expect from her, exactly?

She voluntarily accepts death as her freedom because all she wants is to relax and for everything to end.

However, what the h*ll?

Do they wish for her to experience the same pain in a different life?

Is watching her struggle enjoyable?

When Estelle heard the door open, she saw a woman with two tiny horns and a tail with a heart-shaped tip.

An Undead One?

Is she, way?

Why does she belong to the Demons?

Could it be that she has also been reborn as a demon?

Estelle instantly examines her entire body and finds that she is devoid of a tail, horn, scales, or even sharp teeth.

Is she not a Demon?

Why, then, is she with the Demons?

The woman simply gives Estelle a worried look while she looks at her with suspicion.

Is this child someone she knows?

Estelle made herself remember that perhaps memories from this body would return. BUT NOTHING.

She shut her eyes tightly and suddenly recalled something.

She recalled that she was being held by a man. Though she dismissed it as unimportant, could it be that man who had brought her here?

Frustrated, Estelle tangled her hair, which caused the Demon servant to stare at her with more concern.

Estelle turns to face the Demon girl in the uniform of a maid.

"Who are you?" Her voice sounded like a child's.

She covers her mouth right away. Her voice sounds so strange. It truly is similar to a child. Perhaps when she's an adult, she'll find it endearing for a kid.

However, she is an adult disguised as a child!

And she speaks like a little kid?
