Ankoku Kishi Monogatari ~Yuusha wo Taosu Tameni Maou ni Shoukansaremashita~

Chapter 84: Your Majesty Demon King’s Little Angel

◆Princess of Hell; Polenna

FWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

What an amazing sound.

It was the sound of my tummy filled to the brim.

「Uh!! It stinks!!」

Even if I said it was amazing, it really did stink.

My bed had become smelly. It was impossible to sleep in such a place.

I got up and went toward the shelves where I stocked my snacks.

If I’m not wrong, there should be thinly sliced, fried giant black garlic in there.

I walked over cheerfully and opened my cupboard.

And yet, I couldn’t find anything inside.

「Eh? That’s strange. I should’ve brought some from the kitchen, and yet…」

I was pondering about this strange turn of events.

Did I put them in the wrong place?

Thus, I started rummaging through my room.

My room was uselessly huge. Thanks to that, I always had a hard time finding something.

Anyhow, I was the daughter of the Demon King who ruled over Nargol after all.

In short, I was a princess.

A princess is someone who lives in an extremely huge room. At least, that was what was drawn in the picture book.

But, the princess’ room in the picture books that I read was clean, the exact opposite of my room.

I went toward my dressing room and opened its door.

I should have some stash of sweets inside this room.

The scene that welcomed me upon entering my dressing room was lines of uselessly gorgeous dresses.

Every single one of them was a beautiful dress ill-suited for me.

Even these clothes shelves were nothing more than my food warehouse.

I always secluded myself inside my own room, almost never coming out of it.

Since I almost never came out of my room, I stocked food in my room as much as I could.

I pushed the dresses aside, looking for the sweets that might still remain, hidden in this room.

「Ah…」

I unintentionally leaked out such a voice.

Reason being, I saw my own reflection in the huge mirror placed in the dressing room.

Ugly, just like my ugly father.

My mother, Mona, was an extremely beautiful woman and yet, I was so ugly.

Why? Why didn’t I turn out like my mother? I really wanted to cry here.

For that reason, I ended up hurting my father by saying “If only I wasn’t born ugly like you, father!”.

My mother became extremely frightening when I said those words to my father.

Because of the extreme fear from that time, I ended up locking myself inside my own room.

My mother was a goddess created from Elios’ goddesses.

Elios’ goddesses were really beautiful.

Why were so many of my father and his colleagues’ races so ugly, and yet their enemies were so beautiful?

This was unfair.

I turned my gaze away from the mirror.

Well, I’d rather look for my sweets than worry about such things.

I kept rummaging in my dressing room. And yet, I couldn’t find any semblance of sweets at all.

There was a high possibility that I’d consumed all of it.

If that was really the case, it might be the time to ask for provisions.

「YOUR HIGHNE~SS!! YOUR HIGHNESS POLE~N!! WHERE ARE YOU~?!!!」

There was a voice calling me from outside while I was pondering over this matter.

This voice was Poh-chan.

By the way, my name was Polen. To be exact, it was Polenna, but Poh-chan called me Polen.

Poh-chan was my friend. She came to visit my room once in a while to play.

Poh-chan’s name was demon beast general; Putina. Since the previous general, her mother; Eltina , was killed by that hero of light, she had no choice but to take the position as her mother’s daughter.

I become really sad whenever I recall the matter about aunt Eltina. She was the one who always played with me when I was a child after all.

That’s why no matter how good looking that hero of light, I would never forgive him.

The very same hero of light had also come to kill my father.

He was really strong to the point that not even Lord Runfeld could beat him.

Honestly speaking, even though I should’ve stood up to protect my father at that time, I ended up trembling in fear in my own room.

Fortunately, I didn’t have to fight since the person from another world who was summoned by my father defeated that hero of light.

I was really grateful to that person from another world.

「Poh-chan!! I’m here!!」

The one who I saw when I came out from the dressing room was a little girl.

It was Poh-chan. She might look like a little girl in a normal situation but don’t get tricked, her real form was that of a gigantic bear.

「Your Highness, I came to see your situation since it should be about the time for you to run out of food. By the way, I brought food with me too.」

As expected of Poh-chan. She understood the condition of my stomach the most.

「Thank you~. Poh-chan.」

I hugged Poh-chan to express my gratitude.

「GUGEE!!!」

Poh-chan raised an agonizing cry.

Oh cr*p.

I used too much power when I hugged her. I forgot that I inherited my father’s extreme physical strength too.

My casual swing around was enough to pulverize several orcs.

In Poh-chan’s case, she was far tougher than any other demon, so she was okay, but I still had to be careful since I might accidentally turn her into minced meat if I didn’t control my strength carefully.

Nevertheless, Poh-chan’s spine wouldn’t break as long as I didn’t hug her too strongly.

「Sorry, Poh-chan. I forgot to control my strength since it’s been a while since the last time we met.」

Poh-chan waved her hands, signalling that she was okay when I apologized to her.

「No problem… Your Highness. More importantly, is the food that I brought with me enough for you?」

I eyed on the food brought by Poh-chan.

It was far from enough.

「It’s not enough, Poh-chan. You have to bring more.」

「As I thought. Well, I shall bring back more for you.」

Poh-chan turned around after she said so.

「Wait, Poh-chan. I’m going too.」

There was a limit to how much food could be brought by Poh-chan. Moreover, I had no freedom of choosing the food that I liked if I didn’t go along.

「Are you sure, Your Highness? We’re going to leave the room, you know?」

「Ugh!」

I was at a loss for words.

I was ugly, that’s why I wanted to stay hidden as much as possible.

「… Then, let’s move as fast as possible to the point hat no one can see us.」

Poh-chan heaved a sigh upon hearing my remark.

「Your Highness, the daemons and Dark Elves aside, there are actually many other ugly beings in this Nargol. Please don’t worry too much about this matter.」

Sure enough, there were so many ugly beings in Nargol.

Poh-chan was right, I was worrying for nothing.

But, it seems Elios was aware of this fact.

Elios’ gods might notice me if I left.

I didn’t want to leave since I might become a laughing stock for the male gods of Elios if I leave.

「Sorry, Poh-chan. I have yet to prepare my heart for that, let’s just run quickly.」

Thus, I pulled Poh-chan as we left my room.

The Demon King’s castle was uselessly huge. For that reason, there was great distance until we reached the kitchen.

I moved along from one shadow of the pillar to another.

I ended up leaving Poh-chan behind but it wasn’t a big deal since I could just wait for her in the kitchen.

That aside, I had to make sure that no one could see me.

I’ve grasped the timing when the patrolling orc soldier or cleaning lady is going to appear. And since it wasn’t the time for their duty, no one should walk along the corridor during this time.

So I moved ahead.

I ran as fast as I could along the corridor leading toward the kitchen.

「AH!!!」

I unintentionally leaked out such a voice.

Reason being that someone suddenly passed by from the corner.

At this rate, I’m gonna crash against him.

I decelerated my running speed in a hurry. I mean, the other party would most likely turn into minced meat if I crash against them.

OH NO! WE’RE GOING TO CRASH!!

And then, the moment I thought that we were going to crash, my body suddenly spun around with ease.

And fell on the ground on my butt after one rotation in the air.

What happened just now?

I mean, I’m sure that I was about to crash on someone just now.

And yet, here I am, sitting on the ground instead of crashing.

「Are you alright?」

Someone was asking me, maybe the one who I was about to crash against.

The voice was coming from behind me.

And then, the moment I turned around, it felt like the time in this world stopped.

The one who called me from behind was a man donned in Dark Knight’s armor.

He carried his helmet under his armpit.

That’s why I could get to see his face.

He was a man with black hair and white skin. He wasn’t a Daemon either since there were no horns growing from his head.

His face might be lacking “Flashiness” but it was definitely comparable with the face of Elios’ male gods.

Who?

WHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHO?

WHO IS THIS GENTLEMA――――――――AN?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was my first time seeing his face.

There should’ve been no gentleman in Nargol before!!

I mean if he was in Nargol, I should’ve noticed it a long time ago.

This gentleman was definitely a divine being.

He was good looking and yet, not a weak daemon either. Meaning that he was an existence far more powerful than daemons.

「Are you okay? Can you stand?」

The gentleman clad in Dark Knight’s armour lent his hand to prop me up.

My heartbeat accelerated the moment I took his hand.

I unintentionally forgot to control my strength and squeezed his hand.

And yet, he didn’t even flinch, instead, his hand gripped back with an equally strong grip.

And just like that, he pulled me back to my feet.

When both of us were standing like this, I noticed that he was far taller than me.

「Is something the matter? Are you hurt somewhere?」

Even though he was asking with a worried look on his face, I couldn’t say anything back to her.

My mouth just flapped repeatedly.

「YOUR HIGHNE~SS!! WA~IT!!!」

That moment, Poh-chan finally caught up with me.

「Eh, if it isn’t Putina-sama?」

The gentleman was calling Poh-chan. It seems he was Poh-chan’s acquaintance.

「Yes, long time no see, Your Excellency.」

Poh-chan and also returned the gentleman’s greeting upon noticing him.

Poh-chan should be one of the big-shots in nargol. Seeing Poh-chan acting courteously toward him, it meant that this gentleman’s status was even higher than Poh-chan’s.

Poh-chan then raised her face and looked at me.

「Did something happened?」

「Indeed, General Putina. We almost crashed into each other a moment ago… by the way, General Putina, may I ask for the name of this personage? I asked her before but have yet to receive her answer. If I’m not wrong, you called her “Your Highness” a moment ago, right?」

The gentleman asked with a troubled look on his face.

It seems he was really troubled by my silence.

I knew that I should say something back then. But, for some reason, my mouth refused to move.

「This personage’s name is Her Highness, Polen. She’s His Majesty, The Demon King’s, Daughter.」

Poh-chan introduced me to that gentleman in the Dark Knight’s armor.

Thereupon, that gentleman’s expression changed into that of surprise.

It seems he had no idea that I was the daughter of the Demon King.

「Is that so? My deepest apologies for my lack of awareness. Are you hurt somewhere, Your Highness?」

He looked at me with a troubled look on his face.

I had to answer him now.

「N-N-NYO PROBLEM!!」

I ended up biting my own tongue.

But, he made a relieved face upon hearing that I was okay.

It was such a lovely smile.

「Thanks goodness. Well then, I have to go since I still have some business to attend. Excuse me, Your Highness Polen.」

The gentleman then went away after he said those words.

As for me, I could only watch his retreating back in silence.

In addition, my eyes were still glued to the direction in which he walked away even after his figure vanished from my line of sight.

「W-WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU, YOUR HIGHNESS?!!!」

Poh-chan asked me with a worried look on her face upon seeing the dumbfounded look on my face.

「Who…?」

「Eh?」

「Who’s that gentleman, Poh-chan?」

I lifted Poh-chan by the nape of her neck as I asked that question.

「It hurts, Your Highness…」

「PLEASE!! TELL ME HIS NAME!! POH-CHAN!!」

I shook Poh-chan’s shoulder as I asked her again.

「He is His Excellency, Diehart… An extremely strongman who wiped the floor with that hero of light…」

After saying so, Poh-chan blew a bubble from her mouth, and passed out.

That gentleman was the man from another world who defeated the hero of light?

Since all divine beings who befriended my dear father so far had ugly faces, I thought that was the case for the person who was summoned from another world too.

And yet, HE TURNED OUT TO BE SUCH A LOVELY GENTLEMAN!!!

Thus, I kept looking at where that gentleman, the Dark Knight, was walking to.
