Assassin?!

(This Chapter Takes Place 6 Years after the last one.)

Nei POV :

"How Tasty!"

My voice and the sound of me chewing is the only thing that could be heard.

"Pancakes are seriously the best!"

Yes, This is me currently, Eating an absurd amount of Pancakes, Enough to feed multiple adults.

How can I consume such a large amount of calories you ask?

Don't know.

Yup, I'm serious.

But the actual reason I'm eating this much is because of stress.

The Young Devils Gathering is happening soon, And as one of the most popular Devils, I have to fulfill those expectations placed on me, or I'll be branded as a failure.

Why am I so desperate to fulfil the expectations of poeple that I'm probably never going to be close to?

My future as a noble depends on them.

My reputation, My loyalty, My strength, Those are all going to be determining factors of my worth to the Devil Faction.

I've put alot of effort into planning everything just for this day, and the very concept of it failing because of a mishap is terrifying me to no end.

Even though I had already handpicked some of the best dresses I could fine, I'm still worried about my appearance.

Even though I study religiously every single day, I'm still worried about being judged for my intellect.

I don't like this.

This isn't something I could just sleep off like having to meet my Grandfather.

I knew he wouldn't do anything because I'm useful to him.

But these nobles are nowhere near as smart as my Grandfather, Perhaps its better that way since they'll be easier to manipulate once they finally trust me enough not to backstab the devil faction.

But for now, Everyone is my enemy, I can't slack off or it'll be a dead end.

*Knock*

A knock on the door ends my mental ramblings and instead fills it with anxiety.

"You may enter."

I say as I put my emotionless mask on, This is one of the things Zekram has drilled into me.

As a Bael I must not show any emotion what so ever, It's what to be expected from a Great King afterall.

The person who enters is a maid.

Oh, I haven't seen this one in a good while.

She was my favorite because she had never tried to get on my good side unlike the other servants of the Manor.

And she's blunt about everything, never hiding anything from me, though I still don't know her name.

The last time I ever saw her was 6 Years ago, When I called her to make me some breakfast.

Perhaps Grandfather found out that she was my favorite?

I seriously underestimated him it seems, He is hundreds of years old afterall, it's only to be expected.

Maid : "Young Lady, You need to prepare for the Young Devils Gathering, It is starting in a few hours, the Head Maid shall set up your bath."

"I Want you to bathe with me."

I say without a hint of shame.

What? I'm a child and I'll take full advantage of it, Wahahaha!

Maid : " Pardon..? Young Lady, I value my life, and I want my neck and head to be connected, so I doubt I'll be able to fufill your request."

The Maid replies bluntly without any sugar coating as usual. This is why she's my favorite.

But, You're not getting out of this one.

"Hah? You're refusing a Bael's order? Do you have a death wish?"

I say while glaring at her.

She pales, the moment our eyes meet, Now that I think about it, doesn't everyone just pale when I do that? Are my eyes really that scary?

Maid : "I guess.. I'll do it just this one time... You're quite cute aftetall so it wouldn't hurt"

"Hmm you said something?"

"No you must be imagining things young la-"

*Crash*

She could not complete her sentence, as her head and neck had been separated.

And standing infront of me, Was a man clad in black armor.

I'll call him Güliedistodiez for convenience sake. (A/N : If you get that reference I love you)

Güliedistodiez : "Ho? Was that the wrong one perhaps? She didn't have that much Magical Energy"

As I hear his voice, Fear is struck deep within me.

And just then, I feel pain throughout my whole body, And I realize that glass shards have impaled my body all over.

As I stare at his figure with shock, His eyes turned to me, Causing me to freeze dead in my tracks and throw all rational thinking out the window.

Güliedistodiez : "Oh, So you're the one I'm supposed to kill. That poor woman had died because you, so atone for her death."

He says, His voice dripping with sarcasm and joy, as if he's enjoying this.

He slowly starts moving towards me, Who's still frozen in shock.
