Magic Chronicles : Fallen Race

The grand hall was still resplendent with its golden and jade decorations.

The chaotic banquet had been cleaned up, and the bloodstains on the floor and walls had all disappeared. For Eileen, this was not a difficult task. A simple combination of a fourth-tier wind and water spell was enough to accomplish it.

As the king\'s lover, the mistress of the demon race.

Eileen was not fond of killing and bloodshed.

Such violence was too low-class and lacked elegance.

Preparing a clean and tidy environment for the king was her duty as a Succubus Apostle.

Now, the aged King Ilinor sat with closed eyes on the chair at the center of the hall, while the remaining nobles who had been spared did not fare as well.

They were all thrown into a corner fountain by Eileen, crowded together in the pool, each still in a state of shock, feeling fearful and uneasy about their fate.

Soon, new footsteps could be heard approaching from outside the grand hall.

It was Reji and his group.

The commotion immediately drew the attention of the anxious nobles in the water pool, who all turned to look. Though they did not recognize Reji, they knew Sophia, who was standing behind him.

Many of the nobles\' eyes lit up in an instant, as if they had glimpsed a glimmer of hope for survival. They frantically waved their arms, trying to attract the attention of Sophia, the young princess. Some even shouted out, believing they had a good relationship with the little princess.

"Your Highness! Oh my goodness! Was it all you who did this?"

"Your Highness! Please let me out! I am willing to follow you!"

"Your Highness, do you remember me? I am your third uncle! I even carried you when you were a child! My dear Sophia!!"

"Sob...Please, Your Highness, let me out. I am so scared. I was wrong. It\'s all my fault. It was Princess Yuffie who pressured me during the royal selection, she manipulated me to vote for her!"

"Yes, yes, yes! I actually wanted to vote for Your Highness! You are the true princess of Ilinor, the real highness. Yuffie is nothing compared to you!"

"Sophia! Auntie was wrong. In all future dealings of the Vini Consortium, everything will be centered around you, Your Highness Sophia. Please...please spare us."

Listening to the cries and pleas of these usually haughty nobles directed towards her, Sophia\'s heart remained unmoved.

Watching those ministers and officials of Ilinor who used to look down on her just because she was the "young princess," Sophia was now extremely pleased.

Her inner joy had never been as strong as it was now.

Obviously.

These noble and royal families, seeing her walking behind Reji with demons following around, naturally assumed she was the mastermind behind it all. As a result, their attitude towards her took a drastic turn, and they began fervently begging her.

Hehehe~ This was what I wanted for a long time!

Even my sister could not accomplish what I had done—making this group of once supremely arrogant nobles all submit. And now, I had achieved it! Who said I was inferior to sister?

Who said I am not as good as Yuffie?

Here I am standing, unscathed, enjoying everything in the kingdom, while my idiot sister, that wretched bitch.... Wait where is that harlot Yuffie?

Sophia now had an intense desire to show off her power once more.

To tread on those nobles with her feet, enjoying the sight of them groveling before her.

But the young princess was not foolish enough to go that far.

She knew that for now, she could only be overbearing in appearance, so she mustn\'t get too carried away.

She understood that she would have to wait until she truly gained the favor of Reji, this "prince" of the demon clan, before she could revel in it all and truly attain the rights and position that belonged to her.

With this in mind, Sophia couldn\'t help but quicken her pace, drawing closer to Reji.

In the eyes of the young princess, Reji had become a combination of power and royal authority. If possible, she would even want to roll in the sheets with him tonight, using her body to secure these gains.

With such thoughts in mind, she encountered another figure.

"Your Majesty." Eileen, resembling the most intimate secretary, welcomed Reji\'s arrival.

The succubus glanced at the young princess following behind Reji, but did not show much reaction. Even though, as a succubus, she was most sensitive to desire, and although Sophia appeared gentle and innocent on the surface, internally, her desire for Reji, for power, was clearly evident to Eileen.

From this moment on, Sophia was unaware that she had already become a walking corpse.

And every move she made after this would only further contribute to this inevitable outcome.

Reji nodded at the succubus.

He actually quite liked Eileen\'s obedient type.

The succubus would never immediately act against Sophia, as that would be too low-level. It would make her seem jealous. Remaining calm and indifferent would showcase her elegance as the mistress of the house and demonstrate her greatest confidence.

Reji approached the aged King of Ilinor.

"Your Majesty, you don\'t seem surprised by our presence at all?"

The old king remained indifferent throughout.

Unlike the noble and royal families who were panicking, even when faced with these demons, the old man remained calm, as if he had seen it all before.

Reji\'s guess was correct.

The old king shook his head, staring at Reji, the mastermind behind the scenes, and slowly said, "From what Yuffie told me about her control of the power from a thousand years ago, I have already foreseen the current outcome."

Upon hearing the old king\'s words, the one with the strongest reaction was not Reji.

It was Sophia.

The young princess couldn\'t contain herself, furious and jumping with rage.

"You old fool! Giving everything to Yuffie! All to my sister! You deserve this! And so does my sister! You all deserve to die!

This is the retribution for your favoritism!!"

"Teacher, quickly! Kill this old fool! After that, I will take his place and become the new king of Ilinor. I will lead all of Ilinor to submit to you, to your demon race, I promise! If you don\'t believe me, tonight, I can give you my most precious possession!"

Ultimately, Sophia couldn\'t hold back.

From her demeanor, it seemed as if she wished she could take Reji\'s place and quickly kill her father.

As for the aged king, he did not blame Sophia. Instead, with a sorrowful and self-reproachful expression, he looked at Sophia, his young princess.

"I know what you all want."

"In Yuffie\'s hands, you can obtain everything. The power from a thousand years ago belongs to Yuffie. She has always been independent, even I, her father, only learned about it last night."

"I understand your purpose. It is the empire. Yuffie also desires this. She will be willing to assist you, to truly become your ally."

For Reji, the old king\'s words carried significant information.

Power from a thousand years ago? And why was this old man so sure that our goal was the empire?

Before Reji could speak, the old king continued on his own.

Leaving behind what should be considered his final words.

"The people who are truly in charge in Ilinor do not have the qualifications to attend tonight\'s banquet, so this is my last request to you. Please clean up all the scum in Ilinor. This is for Yuffie\'s sake, and for yours."

After saying this, the old king spat out black blood from the corner of his mouth. He had hidden poison in his teeth and committed suicide. However, there was no pain on his face, only relief.

For him, who had allowed Ilinor to reach this state, death was the best form of apology.

And using his death to ensure Yuffie\'s ascension and bring new hope to Ilinor was his redemption.

Clearly, the old king understood that after his death, Reji, in order to keep the secret and to find a new king for appearances\' sake, would not harm Yuffie. He had traded his life for Yuffie\'s safety.

As for Sophia... Clearly, she was not even considered by the old king.

Reji admitted that the old king had indeed succeeded in piquing his interest in Yuffie and placed great importance on the so-called "power from a thousand years ago" behind Yuffie.

"Teacher, wait for me!" Seeing Reji about to leave again, Sophia hurriedly caught up.

After the death of the old king, she became even more excited and agitated. With the royal family around gone, she was the only one left. Although there were some unexpected events along the way, the final outcome remained the same - she would still become the greatest woman in Ilinor.

Huh?

Sophia looked down and saw the thorned whip tied around her waist.

Afterward, the whip started pulling, not using full force intentionally, but slowly dragging Sophia on the ground.

"What is this! Let go of me, let go!!"

"Teacher! Teacher!!! Help! Help me!"

"I am on teacher\'s side! You can\'t treat me like this, you can\'t, wait for me, don\'t leave, don\'t leave, teacher... ugh!"

The young princess struggled desperately, crawling and twisting on the ground, trying to resist the dragging of the whip behind her. No matter how she struggled, how she cried for help, Reji\'s back that never turned back only kept getting further away, while she was gradually dragged into the abyss of despair.

This time, Sophia finally began to regret why she didn\'t leave with the eagle mercenary in the first place.

why did I followed that f@cking man!?

Demons! They are all demons!

Sophia realized this too late.

Taking out the trash at home is also one of the duties of a hostess.

Looking at the human young princess being dragged over, Eileen, who had always harbored a deep hatred for humans, finally let out the malice she had been suppressing in front of Reji.

Do I Kill her?

No...

From that human\'s previous words, it was clear that these remaining nobles were no longer necessary. Since they were all trash, why not dispose of them together?~

A pink mist began to envelop the nobles in the water, causing their expressions to distort, and their breathing to quicken, turning them into puppets of desire. It seemed that at this moment, even if a sow were thrown in, they would all rush towards it.

Eileen nodded in satisfaction.

After the young princess frantically begged for mercy by shaking her head, Eileen smiled, flicked the whip, and sent Sophia, who was tied to it, flying, landing among the nobles who had fallen under her spell.

The nobles would drain all life force from Sophia in their frenzy.

And this human princess would eventually fulfill her wish and become a puff pastry.

The only regret Eileen had was that the elf girl who had been with the king was not present here, considering that the elf girl was fortunate.

Sooner or later...

Envy flashed in the succubus\'s eyes. I will turn that damned elf, who dared to approach my king behind my back, into a puff pastry elf like this trash princess.

This will be the fate of anyone who dared to get close to my king behind my back!
