I BECAME A VAMPIRE PRINCESS

DEMON LORD

......Hah?
That person......did she just call me here to end her life?
It doesn't make any sense. I don't know the reasons behind all of this, and not to mention that she even prepared a lot of things in advanced. I'm not really a person who would capable enough to do this.

「......I don't get it. Wishing for something like this, especially to a person that you've just called over...... even twisting the fate of that person to fulfill this wish......」

Because of this thought, I move closer to her and look her in the eyes.

「Wha, what is it?」

She quietly stared at me, and then tilts her head in as she asked. I was captivated by that lovely gesture, and my heart skipped a beat, and then I cupped her soft cheeks with both of my hands.

「......Hyaa?」
「As if a child could just easily kill someone, don't just bluntly tell me to kill without telling me why!!」

As punishment, I stretched out her soft cheeks. Oooh, it's so soft.

　「Iyaaa!!? Iii!? Hyahyahayahya!!? It huwts, it huwts, it huwts!! Wait! I shaid wait!!? It huwts, hey!!? Ihuwts, it huwts」

I want to continue some more, but I immediately let go when I saw her face almost on the verge of crying.

「Wha, wha wha, what do you think you are doing!!? My cheeks! I thought my cheeks would be pulled off!? Don't tell me, you have that kind of hobby......wa, wait, I am not into that, so don't include on that!? At, at least, make it normal first!? Not to mention, even though I look like this, I am reasonably old...――」

Oh, this person is really interesting.

「Well, it's your fault for suddenly telling me to kill you without even telling me why. As if I would just accept it so suddenly without explanations!?」
「Uguh...... well, that is. I guess, even I would be troubled if I was told something like that all of a sudden. I know that it would be something hard to accept, but would you listen to my circumstances? 」
「......alright」

After nodding, her expression changed into a serious one.
I could understand after that interaction that the girl in front of me is not just someone who would try to mess up someone else's life without a reason, and that she wasn't just acting confidently without a certain level of determination.

「First of all, an introduction. I am known by the name, 【Leticia Wallentein】. And I am the current inheritor of the skill 【Demon Lord】」

Demon Lord......? That would be a template that you would expect in a world of sword and magic. Speaking of Demon Lords, they are beings that are known to be rulers of evil and bring chaos to the world. After all it's a necessary spice added to shape up the world of most adventure games to bring more entertainment to its story.
However, entertainment aside, they would always be commonly portrayed as those who govern evil. And the significance of such a title cannot be taken away that easily.

「Then about the purpose of why I captured your soul and inserted it to a body I've created. That is for you to inherit this this skill 【Demon Lord】 and prevent it from randomly spawning on someone else in the world.」
「Why......」
「Well you see, about the skill【Demon Lord】...... it's a skill that gives a lot of powerful benefits to its user. It's important that I would know the one who would inherit the 【Demon Lord】 skill than letting some random monster possess it. Demons who have previously inherited this skill have been a center of worship of other demons and would have subordinates following under their banner. Under its rule, the strong would dominate the weak which could be said to be the simplest form of ruling over monsters and demons, however because of this supremacist views being developed, war becomes inevitable and it drives the world into this cycle.」
「On the otherhand, if a 【Demon Lord】 does not exist, the demons and monsters won't be able to fight back and continue to perish. The worst case scenario would be for the entire demon race to be weakened on the continuous cycle of destruction and be eradicated all over the world. That would have to be avoided at all cost, that's why I called for you......」
「That's not what I'm asking......!」
