CH 11

After I finished eating breakfast. 

I was on the demon lord’s lap, kicking my feet in a good mood.

“Hey hey, do you have free time for the Demon King?” 

“I don’t think so.” 

If you can eat breakfast this slowly, I thought you were free, but it seems that’s not the case.

“Then what are you doing?”

“work” 

“What’s your job?” 

Why is this person wearing a military uniform?

Even though the guards around me are wearing different clothes.

Only the Demon King wears such black clothes.

Why is that?

“It’s okay to talk about work, it’s boring.” 

The Demon King shook his head as if he was tired of it. 　

“Tell me your story”

He told me to tell him my story. 

“When can I go out?” 

Demon King let out a sigh at the same question. 

“I won’t run away. Because I’m a good girl.”

“I don’t know if you’re a good girl, but that shouldn’t be a problem. After all, you got a collar.” 

The Demon King fiddled with the charm on my collar. 

Then put his hand on my cheek.

“… You’re thin. Your complexion isn’t good either.”

Something was on my cheek, and it was wiped with a handkerchief. 

“Wouldn’t it be better to stay still in your room?” 

“It’s okay now” 

“No, it’s not okay.”

I put my hand on my forehead. 

“You should take it easy in your room.” 

“Noo!” 

I tried tapping the Demon King’s arm. He didn’t get angry. 

But he can’t help but sigh.

“Can’t help it, right?” 

When I was swollen, the Demon King put me down on the ground and said. 

“…then let’s go for a walk” 

“Walk?”

“Pets certainly need a walk.” 

The Demon King squeezed my hand tightly.

It felt like my small hands were wrapped in demon king-sama’s gloves. 

I brighten my face.

“Yeah! Let’s go for a walk!” 

Thus, I decided to take a walk in the morning.

◆

I walked around the castle holding hands with the Demon King. 

When you line up like this, it’s kind of like a father and daughter.

Why?

The demon lord’s side servants have a smile on their face. 

Maybe us look like father and daughter after all.

“Come on, let’s take a walk in this garden.” 

It’s wonderful that you walked to the other side of the castle and were brought…

No, it’s not nice at all.

It’s the garden I destroyed yesterday!! 

Uu, Demon King-sama must have been quite angry after all.

Well, well, it’s normal to get angry…

“Wow……” 

A large number of people gathered at the ruined garden to clean up their belongings. 

The uncle gardener also looked sad. 

“Oh, Your Majesty. Good morning.”

Perhaps they noticed me and the Demon King, and the people who were working lowered their heads. The Demon King hugged me and approached those people. 

“This little girl is the culprit. Apparently she couldn’t control her magic.” 

Saying that, the Demon King turned his gaze to me.

“I’m really sorry……” 

Apologize while dejected.

No, I’m really sorry.

Even though it was a beautiful garden.

I thought he would get mad at me, but he only gave me a wry smile.

“She’s so small, but she’s amazing”

He sneezed and stroked my head. 

“I’m looking forward to seeing what I can plant next time.” 

The uncle says that the west garden has always been planted with the same kind of flowers.

“That’s right, Your Majesty. What kind of garden shall we make this time?” 

For some reason, the Demon King looked at me after hearing Uncle’s story.

“Presea” 

“yes?” 

“What is your favorite flower?” 

“Favorite… flowers?”

Why would you ask that? 

After thinking about it for a moment, I shook my head. 

“… I don’t know much about flowers.” 

Until now, I’ve been doing nothing but praying, so I don’t really understand…

The uncle gardener said that I was fidgeting, looking uncomfortable.

“The princess has beautiful eyes.” 

I look at the uncle and the demon king alternately. 

The Demon King said while staring at my eyes. 

“Is there a rose with the same color as Presea’s eyes?” 

“Oh, come to think of it, an acquaintance of mine told me that a bright magenta-colored rose was produced through selective breeding the other day.”

“Can it be planted in this garden?” 

“Well, it’s compatible with soil, but it’s okay.” 

“Then plant it.” 

Surprised, a small voice leaked out. 

“Demon king-sama, is that okay?” 

“what is”

“Don’t worry about planting flowers that are the color of my eyes…” 

Tiara, who was standing behind me, chuckled. 

It’s not just Tiara, the other servants are laughing too.

The Demon King put his lips to my ear and said. 

“I haven’t decided anything arbitrarily. I like the color of your eyes, so I’m going to plant that flower.”

“!” 

“I like the color of your eyes.” 

Hearing that, my heart skipped a beat. 

My cheeks get hot.

“I’ll give you this garden.” 

“eh?” 

“Do as you please…” 

What do you mean? 

To me who was surprised, the Demon King smiled mischievously and said.

“If you’re just going to look at this garden, I’ll give you permission to go out for a little while. My pet can’t help but want to go outside.” 

“! For real?” 

“Um. This is your garden. Take care of it.” 

I’m not sure, but I got a garden.

Well, maybe you’re not serious, but I’m happy with this.

“And what color do you like, princess?” 

When asked that, I looked up at the Demon King in bewilderment, and was told to do whatever I wanted. 

“Umm, orange…or something?” 

“Hmmm, well, then let’s plant Baby Romantica together…”

The uncle was muttering happily, trying to do this and that. 　 

“Princess, please look forward to it.” 

“Yes, thank you!” 

“I’m really looking forward to it~.” 

I laughed and nodded.

For a while, I watched the garden while being held by the Demon King. 

Suddenly, I feel the gaze of the Demon King.

“?”

If I blink my eyes, Demon King-sama asks in a quiet voice. 

“Presea” 

“what?” 

“… are you having fun?” 

Also, the Demon King confirmed with me.

He really likes asking questions.

“Yeah, it’s fun.”

When I answered that and laughed, Demon King-sama made a happy face. 

His pitch-black eyes relaxed gently. My young face appears in those eyes.

Why is the Demon King looking at me like that?

With such kind eyes.

── Presea 

Why are you calling my name with such a gentle voice…
