Desolate Fallen Continent.
On the bustling streets, the new Demon King Via walked toward the speech platform in the central square under the watchful eyes of the crowd.
The young Demon King strode forward with confident steps, passing through the crowd under the protection of her guards as she headed toward the platform.
This was the Demon King’s first public speech since taking the throne, so many demonkin had gathered here, eager to catch a glimpse of her.
As she walked past someone, a sudden flash of cold light appeared.
“Die, Demon King!!”
A figure shot forward like lightning, charging toward Via from behind.
“There’s an assassin! Stop him!!”
The demonkin guard captain shouted loudly.
The guards immediately sprang into action, rushing toward the assassin and trying to form a wall of bodies to block him.
However, a cold glint flashed in the assassin’s hand. A terrifying aura erupted from his body as abyssal aura transformed into overwhelming Abyssal Force, forcing all the nearby demonkin to retreat.
“Hm?”
Via turned around and saw the assassin rushing toward her. His figure blurred, splitting into three clones that attacked her from different directions with killing intent.
She stood in place without moving, allowing the danger to approach.
Just as everyone thought the new Demon King had frozen in fear, a soft voice speaking in Abyssal language rang out.
The Abyssal Demoness waved the staff in her hand. The shadow beneath her rapidly expanded into a massive black silhouette that shot out three black arms, precisely grabbing the three clones.
“That’s Lady Sashaya, the Abyssal Demoness!” the guard captain cried out in shock.
“Hmph. Child’s play.”
Sashaya showed a disdainful expression.
She waved her staff again. The giant black hands clenched tightly. Two of the clones were instantly crushed into dust. The original body let out a miserable scream and passed out, slipping from the giant shadow’s grasp and falling to the ground.
The guards quickly rushed forward and carried the subdued assassin away.
This scene left the demonkin in the crowd deeply shocked.
“So the rumor that the Abyssal Demoness joined the royal court was true…”
“Even a top-tier powerhouse like the Abyssal Demoness chose to serve the new Demon King?”
“Just how strong must this Demon King be…?”
The crowd below whispered among themselves.
After easily defeating the assassin, Sashaya didn’t try to steal the spotlight. She simply walked to Via’s side and accompanied the young Demon King toward the speech platform.
“With Lady Sashaya’s assistance, the speech was a great success.”
Kurei looked happily at the report in her hands.
“This way, the Demon King’s prestige has increased again!”
“How annoying. Why are there always these ignorant ants coming to cause trouble?”
Sashaya leaned back on the sofa with her legs crossed.
“Lady Sashaya is incredibly wise! Lady Sashaya is unparalleled in the world!”
The dolls flattered Sashaya while massaging her shoulders and back, providing a relaxing service.
“Can you all strengthen the security measures from now on? At this rate, I’m going to end up becoming a bodyguard,” Sashaya complained unhappily.
“We will, we definitely will!” Kurei nodded quickly. “Lady Sashaya, the Demon King has only just ascended the throne. Although she has outwardly conquered various regions, there are still many people who harbor resentment and want to solve the problem by assassinating the Demon King. You’ve worked hard during this period.”
“Sigh. Why did I agree to help Via back then? I’m really just making trouble for myself.”
Sashaya turned her head and glanced at the imitation doll of Via that she had created.
For now, Via’s plan was proceeding quite smoothly. Aside from her, Kurei, and Melu, no one else knew that the real Via had already left the Desolate Fallen Continent and gone to the human world.
Under the arrangements of Kurei and Melu, the doll version of Via was carrying out various activities across the Desolate Fallen Continent, steadily increasing the Demon King’s prestige.
Sashaya stood up, preparing to leave the office.
“I’m a bit tired. I’m going to take a nap first.”
“Lady Sashaya, would you like me to prepare afternoon tea for you?” Kurei asked.
“Of course. That’s my well-deserved reward. Remember, I want fully handmade milk tea and desserts. They must be made by you personally. I don’t like anyone else’s,” Sashaya emphasized.
“Understood!” Kurei replied energetically.
“See you later~”
Sashaya waved her hand and opened the office door. The moment she stepped inside, she felt the Demon King’s Castle shake violently, as if there was an earthquake.
However, it only lasted for three seconds before disappearing.
“Was that my imagination?”
Sashaya muttered to herself. She didn’t pay it much mind. After all, she wasn’t the Demon King. If something really happened, it wasn’t her responsibility.
As she walked down the corridor, she noticed that the light outside had grown dim. Feeling that something was strange, she turned her head.
The colossal creature that entered her vision made her stop in her tracks.
“Huh?”
Sashaya’s eyes widened.
“Why are you back?”
Albion was tightly pressed against the wall of the Demon King’s Castle. Her enormous pupils stared fixedly at Sashaya through the glass.
“Where’s Via? Isn’t she here?”
“……”
“Don’t just stand there like that, you stupid dragon.”
Sashaya held her forehead. She felt like she needed to teach Albion the common language after all.
“Alright, go find somewhere cool to stay. I’m going to take my nap.”
“!!!”
“I don’t have time to deal with you. Naps are more important than anything, got it?” Sashaya replied perfunctorily and turned to leave, abandoning Albion.
Seeing that Sashaya was about to leave, Albion grew anxious. She opened her mouth, bit down, tore off a section of the corridor, and flew up into the sky.
“Are you crazy, you dragon!?”
“～”
The silver-haired dragon loli stood on the grass, happily licking the giant lollipop in her hands. Her eyes were practically sparkling.
“Stupid dragon, you actually did something like this just because of this boring thing?” Sashaya felt a headache coming on.
“How can you call it a boring thing? For Albion, this should be the most delicious snack in the world, right?” Via chuckled.
“Via, you’d better explain to me why you had Albion bring me from the Desolate Fallen Continent all the way to the human world.”
Sashaya looked at Via with an extremely dissatisfied expression.
“You interrupted my important rest time, understand?”
“I have a small matter that needs your help~” Via pressed her hands together. “Please, the all-powerful Lady Sashaya!”
