Chapter 57.2

“Don’t you get it? I mean that you will become the rice worm. It’s a strong curse. You will never be able to revert to your original body.”

“You……you..how much of a coward are you? Do you think the prestige of the royal families will be diminished by such an act……..!?”

I look down at Emilia.

“Your pain seems to have disappeared Emilia.”

“…….Eh?”

“Its evidence that your body is getting closer to merging.”

Her face turned pale.

“…..Sto…..stop……”

“What wrong? You should continue. Something about the nobility of royalty and so on.”

Emilia leaked a voice while he face was filled with humiliation.

“……….Please stop it…….. please……….”

“Fumu. I guess you have about a minute left. How is it? The feeling of being reborn?”

“Please! Please stop it!! Please help me!!”

“It’s not that bad actually. You will obtain stronger magic than you have now. You can take revenge on me then. Eh?”

Emilia’s body starts shaking.

“….You……How cold-blooded are you……!?”

“Ku, kukuku. Hahahahahaha. Cold-blooded? This me?”

I vigorously stamp on Emilia’s face.

“Don’t make me laugh woman. Not after what you did to my mother.”

Emilia falls silent at my stone-cold voice.

“Now then. It’s about time.”

I fall silent and wait for the time to pass.

Looking down at Emilia’s face I can see tears falling non-stop.

“……..Under……I understand…….”

“What do you understand?”

Emilia forces out a thin voice while gritting her teeth and twisting her face in humiliation.

“……Demon King of tyranny Arnos Voldigod-sama…….. Please grant me mercy……”

“I refuse.”

Emilia begins weeping like a child.

“…..Lie…… did you lie…….? When I begged for my life…..”

“I said I might change my mind. I decided not to.”

Finding no words to say tears come out of her eyes again.

“Five seconds left.”

Emilia couldn’t speak anymore and just looked in despair.

“Three, two, one.”

She closes her eyes.

“Zero.”

There’s no change in the body of Emilia.

Ten seconds pass, then another twenty and still she remains the same.

She opens her eyes.

“Why…..?”

“Kukukuku. Hahahahaha. Haven’t you noticed yet? The poisonous rice worms were a lie. No, actually it was hilarious. Did you think you had received mercy? You can let out a surprisingly modest voice.”

Emilia’s face dyes red.

“I spared your life.”

“….I…..wont…..forgive you……….!!”

Emilia grabs my foot with pure hatred on her face.

“…..I’ll never forgive you!! No matter how strong you are your power has no nobility! It’s the power of a vile, vulgar mixed race! The disgrace you have given to the royalty here, someday, sometime…….you’ll regret it….!! Even if I can’t do it, my child will and if they cant do it their children will and their children and their children. Each generation will bear a grudge against you!!”

“Emilia.”

I return her glare with tens of times more hatred than she is sending at me.

“It is this me that does not forgive you. Let me teach you the reason I spared your life.”

I kick Emilia onto her back and thrust my hand into her chest grabbing her heart.

“…..Ka……ha……..”

“Receive my curse until the end of time.”

Emilia who was kicking her feet stopped breathing after several seconds and then stopped moving.

“Realise it. Your arrogance.”

I draw a magic formation on the floor and use Mazoku Training . A girl with brown hair and brown eyes appears on the formation.

The girl opens her eyes and stares at the body of Emilia in surprise.

“I’m dead…..but this is…….?”

I tell the confused looking girl.

“How does it feel being reborn Emilia?”

“What is this? My body……. My magic power……”

Emilia seems to be unable to hide her surprise at the weakness of her new body.

“….Like this….. Do you intend to humiliate me with this magic? With such low born power…………!?”

Laughter leaks deep from within my body.

“Kukukuku. Hahahahahaha. I see. Low born power? This is great. Listen up Emilia.”

I told her to look down.

“You still think of yourself as royalty?”

“………..Eh?”

“I reincarnated you using Reincarnation . I bought you back with the mixed blood of humans and mazoku. Look into your own abyss with your demon eyes.”

“…….A lie……..”

Emilia falls to her knees. Her whole body is shaking and she keeps muttering “a lie…..a lie……” in an incoherent manner.

She keeps checking the blood flowing through her body again and again. There’s no mistake. She’s a mixed-blood no matter how much she looks. Far from royalty, she’s not even a pure mazoku anymore.

Emilia stands up with a crazy look on her face and grabs the demon sword near to her.

“Wrong…… It’s wrong….. It’s not me.”

Struggling she strongly puts the blade to her neck.

“You can die Emilia but I’ve cursed your origin. No matter how many times you die, until the end of time, you are cursed to be reborn as a mixed-blood mazoku.”

Blood flows from Emilia’s neck. The demon sword falls from her hands and clangs to the floor.

“…..I’ll study this curse……”

“You cannot escape my curse.”

Did my words crush her hope? Emilia collapses in place.

“………No…………..No……………………….”

Emilia shook her head again and again while her eyes were empty.

“Take a good look at Deiruheido from your new position. You might notice your opinions were unexpectedly biased.”

“No…………… Such a thing……no……..”

I use to leave this place and as my world dies pure white

“………….Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo….!!!!”

A crazy sounding scream rings out.
