105 - - Episode 8 Secret Audience

In an instant, we move from the pure white "giant tower" to the black world.

It is not dark because the walls are lit.

The walls, ceiling, and floor are all black and smooth like a mirror. This is why the entire world appears black.

Lilith does not know.

She does not know that she has now moved to the lowest level of the world's largest, strongest, and worst dungeon, "The Abyss.

"Come on, Lilith-sama, this way."

............"

Ellie, the "Witch of the Giant Tower" in a witch-like costume, nudges me to start walking.

The destination is the throne where her master awaits.

After a few minutes of steady thumping on the floor, we arrive at a huge door.

It is a huge metal door of unknown material, with detailed relief designs on the surface. The elaborate, exuberant, calculated design was made with a technology so isolated that no craftsman on earth could ever have created it.

The "Witch of the Giant Tower" paused, smiled amicably, but nailed it.

The "Witch of the Gigantic Tower" stopped, smiled friendly, and nailed her: "Beyond this door, my dear one. Please do not be rude to him.

......?

I have had many conversations with the "Witch of the Giant Tower" today in a short period of time. But this was the first time I had heard her voice tone. Despite the friendly smile, her eyes were not smiling at all.

Fanaticism.

Lilith intuitively understands that even the slightest act of disobedience will surely get her killed, no matter if she is a princess or a nobleman.

She nodded silently over and over again.

The "Witch of the Gigantic Tower" gives a satisfied smile, as if to say, "Well done," and gives way.

At the same time, the huge door slowly begins to move.

Without a single squeak, the door opens with a smooth motion.

----"

The door opened into a mythical world.

Lilith's breath and thoughts stop.

Her breath and thoughts stopped at the same time because the scene spread out before her was a world too far away for a mind of her size to comprehend.

For a moment, she was as good as dead.

That is how astonishing the scene was before Lilith.

The ceiling was so high that it was blurred from the haze, and monsters were waiting in orderly fashion in a hall that could have completely contained even the royal castle.

A carpet continued straight ahead of Lilith, and at the far end sat a throne adorned with gold, jewels, and precious metals. A huge banner adorns the wall behind it.

In front of the throne, three beautiful girls line up in front of the stairs.

In addition, there is a huge dragon, a giant, a huge beast with three heads, a huge wolf with pure white hair down to the tips, etc.

The fairy maids, beautiful women and girls that we have seen many times in "The Tower of Giant," are lined up in regular rows. There was also an unusually tall woman, a beautiful woman with red hair on the right side and blue hair on the left, a girl with a long spear-like tube in her hand, a knight in golden armor, a beautiful brown girl with her mouth hidden, etc. - the variety was so great that at first glance one could sense a lack of unity, but the "Witch of the Giant Tower" Ellie showed me that there were many different types of maids. The same quality that I felt is leaking out of all of them.

Absolute loyalty.

Even one of the maids gives off a feeling of overwhelming loyalty that goes beyond fanaticism, to the point that she would gouge out her own heart and offer it herself with a big smile if she were desired.

He understands that he will not get away with it if he offends their absolute loyalty in any way.

(If you are even a little rude to me, I will be killed without question. ......)

A red carpet extending to the throne.

Mythical monsters line both sides of it, and if even one of them appeared on earth, it could end a kingdom or create a wound that would never heal.

The person who sits on the throne is the target of overwhelming loyalty from these monsters.

(Is the person sitting on the throne a child of the ...... race (human)?　I'd say he's about 12 or 3 years old.)

He was a boy with black hair and a face so pretty that it could be recognized from a distance.

He was short and his golden throne did not yet fit his physique, and when he sat down, his legs did not reach the ground, but his superior appearance made him look very cute.

If it were just a child of a race (human) sitting there.

(That's not just a racial (human) child. ...... That's a monster among monsters. ......)

Lilith understands with her soul.

An incarnation of despair and power so overwhelming that it can be seen from a distance.

Sitting on that throne was indeed a god.

(As the "Witch of the Gigantic Tower" said, God - there is no other way to describe it. I would believe it even if you told me that he was an evil goddess in love with a mythical goddess.)

Lilith's whole body, not just her legs, shakes as she is completely taken in by the intimidation and atmosphere.

Ellie, the "Witch of the Giant Tower," nudges her.

Please go ahead. The Lord of Light is waiting for you.

I could only see his mouth because his face was hidden by his robe during the daytime meeting - but I can see now that the smile on his face at the meeting was an affectionate smile.

Because now, touched by God's majesty, he is smiling a bewitching smile filled with reverence.

............"

Having come this far, Lilith has no right to refuse.

She suppresses her fear with her royalty and pride, and walks forward with legs that are about to fall over.

'............'

The monsters lined up on either side of her stare at Lilith with interest.

She breaks out in a cold sweat and her armpits break out in a terrible sweat just by looking at them.

She could see more clearly now that these monsters were capable of killing her with a single snort, let alone a move of their arms.

It wouldn't hurt to be frightened inwardly.

After walking on a carpet so long that it seemed to give the illusion of being a thousand miles long, I saw a line of three beautiful women and girls, as beautiful as Ellie, the "Witch of the Giant Tower".

Lilith naturally stopped a few steps in front of them.

One of them was a beautiful woman who introduced herself as Mei, who had come to pick them up in the Human Kingdom.

Next to her was a mysterious, blue-haired nekomimi beauty.

Passing Lilith, Ellie, the "Witch of the Giant Tower," lined up next to the silver-haired, energetic-looking beauty.

(......Should I kneel?)

Lilith hesitates in her heart.

Generally speaking, it is very bad from a diplomatic point of view for a royal to bend the knee to the king of another country and assume the courtesy of a vassal.

Even if this was a top-secret informal audience, and even if there was nothing to win in terms of strength, financial resources, or human resources.

............

......!

Silent pressure comes from the beautiful women and girls behind and in front of you.

Why don't you kneel?" And.

Level 9999 and other high level people are gathered here.

If she were to be seriously intimidated, Lilith's heart and spirit would be unable to endure it and she would choose to die.

It is only a mild irritation, but it is only a matter of time before they get really angry.

As Lilith is torn between weighing the honor of her country and her own life, and whether to kneel or not, a word comes from an unexpected source: "I am not going to kneel.

I will not tolerate any disrespect to the guest I have invited.

With a single word from the dark-haired boy on the throne, the intimidation from those around him fades away as if it had never existed in the first place.

Some frown and desperately continue to adopt an attitude of respect.

The boy straightens up his residence and addresses Lilith.

I apologize for calling on you so late at night. I am Lilith, first princess of the Kingdom of Humans. I am Yume's brother, Light.
