Demon King Reincarnation Chapter 4

Chapter 4

In the end, a party is meant to be a place to gather and exchange information.

Riley kept giving me such a lecture about things. In my previous life, I was the leader of my country. I already know all this without some servant telling me. Well, the Iceberg Empire is a little…… er…… since it’s mostly muscles for brains, the parties are mostly about drinking…… However, even though I have no experience, it’s not a problem. After all, from any angle, no matter how you look at me, I’m the Demon King whose conduct is faultless! I’m also great at dancing.

After I danced with my escort Heath once, we separated. Since we’re engaged, shouldn’t you at least dance two songs with me is what I thought but, that b.a.s.t.a.r.d’s only a pig who’s madly in love with a country b.u.mpkin little girl. Me too, I ought to at least do something as well with all the men entranced by my beauty as well in exchange (also since I need to keep up the appearance of an innocent girl), so I’ll allow and turn a blind eye towards the little girls casting flirtatious glances at Heath.

Well, tonight’s main event is about the “heroine-sama” after all.

“Hehehe.”

“Oh my, you seem to be in a good mood tonight.”

“Yes, I’m in a very good mood. Maybe it’s because you’re so good at leading the dance?”

This boy, what was his name again? W, wait, it’s not because I’m dumb. It’s just that human males lack distinguis.h.i.+ng features. It would have been easier if he had horns and wings. Even though girls are each special in their own way, boys are so plain and boring.

And so, I was able to get along well with my partner to some extent (I’m just pretending), and I chatted a bit with the other girls.

The heroine in question finally appeared.

She was nervously hiding behind her adopted father Marquis Rickson, who looked like a priest, and was staring at everything around her restlessly with wide eyes in wonder. She had blonde hair tied up in a bun on top of her head, and was wearing a crimson dress that covered her whole body.

How to put it……

“Disgusting…… Urgh……!”

Her face is first cla.s.s, and there was a slight flush of red to her cheeks on her porcelain white skin, and even her eyes get pa.s.sing marks as well! Even her smile alone was making three or four boys stagger at the sight! And how splendid her dancing is! Unbelievable!

“Well, she’s just a stinking commoner girl.”

“What on earth are those hair accessories. She’s got the stench of poorness.”

I greatly agree with my new (provisional) female friends’ opinions. It’s preferable that they say what I’m thinking. She has a much more beautiful face than she deserves!

I love beautiful things. The more polished they are, the more I love them. That’s why I absolutely can’t forgive that little girl, Hendra Rickson! She also seems to be not very athletic. Even though she’s a commoner, what’s with that skinny wrist! She probably can’t even kill a single cow!

“……!”

I gulped down the fruit juice next to me in an instant. If I didn’t do so, my pretense of being an innocent girl would have unraveled immediately. Honestly, it’s to the point where I really wanted to drink the blood of a hot guy.

What’s more, this blonde country b.u.mpkin is going to steal the only boy I’ve ever allowed to possibly marry me. Even though she’s blonde, she seems quite intelligent.

Everyone’s bad taste was just as high as my demon father Gemyar’s, who only loved to collect dwarf eyes because he thought they were cute.

Such bad taste. Such vulgar taste. She doesn’t deserve to have that beautiful face. I casually hid my face by pretending that I was dizzy.

I’ve decided. I’m going to kill her. I’m going to kill that little girl. I’m going to kill that idiot who defiled the name of beauty.

“Uh, Rosewood, are you alright?”

“Yes, it just seems that I’m feeling slightly unwell now.”

“Why don’t you go rest over there?”

“Yes…… No, I’m fine.”

I thought that I would go rest for a bit, but then I remembered that I still haven’t achieved my objective. I still haven’t seen how that little girl is going to steal my fiance away from me. Even though I hate even looking at that country b.u.mpkin, endure, endure, me!

When I looked, I realized that even though she was a newcomer in an unfamiliar situation, my fiance was gently chatting with her.

“I’m the third prince of this country. Heathcliff Akaido is my name. I’m sure that you must have many things you’re unfamiliar with, but keep working hard. I’ll also help you with what I can.”

“Really!? Thank you very much! Right now I’m…… really lonely…… Ahh, what a wonderful person!”

The country b.u.mpkin was being really loud. This is a gathering for n.o.bles, you know. Doesn’t she realize that at hearing the words about helping her, everyone will start gossiping about my fiance. After all, he’s the third prince. He has quite a high position.

“Even though she’s a commoner, His Highness is going to help her.…..!?”

“Even though he already has Rosewood-sama!”

“……There’s no helping it, since His Highness is such a kind person.”

There’s no helping it, there’s no way that could be possible!!!! I’m going to tear him from limb to limb! I’m going to tear him from limb to limb! Someone, bring my spear here!!!

Hmph, well, I’m higher ranked than she is. Since it’s the first day, I’ll allow it. I’ll forgive…… I’ll forgive……

“Sigh……”

I collapsed while leaning against the wall. If I didn’t do so, otherwise this whole place would have gone up in flames.

“Are you alright, Rose?”

Am I imagining things, I pretended not to hear him but, Heath had come over to support me who had fallen over.

“I’ll carry you on my back. Let’s go home.”

I opened my eyes wide because he addressed himself as “boku.” When I looked at him, that mask-like smile wasn’t there either. Heath always had a military-like rigid expression and had always addressed himself as “watas.h.i.+.” And his face should have always been frozen in a smiling expression.

“No, tonight’s royal party is still going on. Your Highness will become the talk of everyone everywhere. I have Riley here to help me.”

“……Right. Then, I’ll send for Riley to bring you home.”

Is it alright if I just let that country b.u.mpkin run around? That’s what I’m thinking, but I’m too annoyed to continue with that farce.

Because I’m in so much pain (I’m just pretending,) of course he would come over and care for me.

“Sigh, fine. I’ll allow it. Not a bad job of looking after me, brat.”

At my plain way of speech that I let out involuntarily, Heath seemed really surprised as he sent me off with Riley. He’s a boy that cannot comprehend women at all even though he’s madly in love with them.
