"I'm sorry, Lotte."
"It's okay. I know Miss Ella is doing this for me."
After confirming that Lotte had returned to a standing position, Ella narrowed her eyes slightly, and her originally cute appearance exuded a malicious aura.
"What do you think now? Dean Nott Mitsebaija."
Ella deliberately emphasized the word "Nott", which made Dean show a complicated expression.
"I don't mean to discriminate against slaves. If she were a slave, then I would have nothing to say. I'll acknowledge her for now, but that's different from acknowledging you. Although the purple eyes and the magical quality you just used can indeed prove that you are a descendant of the Demon King, but..."
"Dean, don't go too far! We should be grateful that the princess is here, and you're actually trying to make excessive demands!"
Camisia looked really angry this time, and she turned the Sword of Disorder into a rapier and pointed it at Dean.
However, Dean acted as if he didn't notice Camisia's action, which was almost enough to provoke a war between the East and the West. He slowly took out a scroll from his magic robe and handed it to Ella.
"These are my requirements for your qualification to become the Demon King. No matter what method you use, whether you borrow the power of the entire Western Demon Clan or the power of other races, as long as you can achieve this, I will lead the entire Eastern Demon Clan in expressing my absolute and eternal loyalty to you. If you fail to meet these requirements, I will not do anything to you, but even if all the Eastern Demon Clan members flow into the West because of the Demon King's bloodline, I, Dean Nott Mitsebaija, will never bow to you. Even if I am alone, I will find a way to declare war on the One God."
Reaching out a hand and pressing in the direction of Camisia, Ella signaled Camisia that she could retract her weapon, then nodded to Luty. Luty stepped forward, took the scroll from Dean and gave it to Ella, but did not unfold it on the spot. Ella said to Dean in a very rude manner.
"I can do what you said, but I have one additional condition. I will not allow anyone else, including Camisia, to assist with anything above. You will oversee all of this."
"My Lady!"
Even in the state of golden cat eyes, Camisia looked a little impatient.
Considering Dean's title of "Great Sage" from his Demon God period, the test he could imagine must be extremely difficult. In addition, he also specifically added "the assistance of the entire Western Demon Tribe and other races", which further proved that it was a very difficult task. Even the previous Demon King would not dare to agree to such conditions without looking at the specific requirements. Now Ella said that she did not need any assistance, and such words made Camisia anxious.
"Camisia, don't stop me. I'll give you an explanation later, but before that, let me finish what I'm saying."
Ella paused, then stared at Dean.
"The only one who would assist me in this matter is Lotte Nott. If she and I succeed in this, I want you to apologize to Lotte sincerely."
"Is that so? Those conditions are unnecessary. Regardless of how you fulfill the scroll's requirements, I will apologize to Miss Lotte."
Dean didn't look concerned, twirling his drooping gray beard.
"No, no matter what you ask for, it's enough for me and her. So, get ready and see you in a day."
Lightly tapping the ground with the Pestle of Heavenly Punishment, Ella stretched out her free hand and brushed the golden hair behind her head. In the well-lit room, the waterfall-like golden hair reflected a dazzling light. Then, Ella turned around, opened the door, and left the room accompanied by Lotte.
"Tsk, you, take care of yourself. Princess, you haven't shown your hidden strength, but I can tell you she's definitely stronger than either of us."
With a slight click of her lips, Camisia put the Sword of Disorder back into the ribbon and walked out of the room.
"Hmm, for now, I guess I've passed the first stage of the assessment..."
In the meeting room, which was a little messy because of Camisia's actions, only Dean's helpless sigh echoed.
Chapter 65: Miracles Created by God
After coming out of the meeting room, Ella walked straight towards the Demon King's exclusive bedroom under the guidance of the terrain search. After nodding to the knights waiting on both sides of the door, she stepped into the bedroom that was like a hall.
pat.
Hearing the door close after Lotte walked behind her, Ella fell back onto the bed.
“You actually said something like that… What should I do…”
"Isn't Miss Ella a bit too impulsive?"
A chair was moved from the corner of the room, and Lotte sat opposite Ella.
"Who told that old man to say that? But if you look at it this way, not all demons are as obedient as Camisia. From another perspective, it might be a good thing."
After all, if an entire race blindly obeyed the king's orders, then that race's destruction was inevitable. Thinking of this, Ella sighed deeply.
"Isn't the name 'Great Sage' for nothing..."
The room fell into silence, with only Ella's troubled groan as the other side heard.
As if to break the silence, Lotte stretched out a hand to twirl her hair, looking a little embarrassed.
"Miss Ella, what you said earlier... about Lotte Nott's name, was it really just something you said to save face?"
In this world, commoners cannot have surnames, but only names that are "named" by priests at birth. Normally, the only people who serve as attendants, maids, butlers, and knights are the third sons of nobles who cannot inherit the family business, and their subsequent descendants. The reason why commoners do not hold these positions is because their education level is too low and they are not capable enough to complete the tasks required by these positions.
So if Ella had called Rudy "Rudy" directly in front of Dean before, it would inevitably seem a bit shabby. It was natural for Rudy to think that Ella might have added the surname "Nott" to the end of her name in order to prevent Dean from looking down on her.
After a long stretch, Ella used her waist to push herself up from the bed.
"No, huh? I've been thinking about giving Lotte a name for a while now because I heard Camisia mention that she didn't have a family name. When I was introducing her, I happened to think of Nott's name, so I used it. It was a last-minute idea, but the motivation was different, right?"
"Hmm... I'm so sorry for imagining you as that, Miss Ella."
Feeling her cheeks getting hot, Lotte quickly cupped her hands to prevent Ella from noticing what was happening, but Ella didn't seem to notice. She lowered her head and picked up the scroll that had been crumpled into a ball from the bed due to excessive force.
The door of the room was pushed open again, and this time it was Camisia who came in.
Camisia was still wearing the dreamy white dress, and her eyes had been replaced with normal purple.
"Princess, don't pay attention to what that old man Dean said. He is only considering the perspective of the entire demon clan and has no intention of rebelling."
As soon as she stepped through the door, Camisia strode towards Ella.
Slowly unfolding the paper ball in her hand, Ella responded to Camisia.
"I'm not unhappy about that. I'm just angry about his attitude towards Lotte. And after all—never mind, let's just see what he wants first."
What Ella didn't say was that, after all, the position of princess didn't hold much appeal to her. In other words, if it weren't for Camisia, she would have returned to the Holy Academy long ago.
"I hope the princess doesn't dislike the demons because of this... Regarding the request, I thought of a gentle solution on the way here. We can take advantage of Dean's love for magic research and collect precious magical materials or ancient scrolls on the continent. After completing half of the request and adding those things, Dean should give in. He should also turn a blind eye to the matter of Lotte-chan's name."
"Let's put the agreement aside for now, Camisia. I told you in the meeting room earlier that I would give you an explanation. Now is the time to show you. This is also the reason why I initially refused to admit that I was the Demon Princess."
Ella stood up, exchanged glances with Lotte, and then walked to the center of the room.
"Princess, I have a feeling you possess immense hidden strength, but even the Demon King wouldn't dare to grant your requests outright. Please allow me to assist you."
"Well, Camisia, let's talk about it after we see it first. But before that, I order you in the name of Elelaya Not Mistydin not to tell anyone about what happened next."
After saying this, Ella couldn't help but smile bitterly. If Camisia saw her in such a state, would she still accept the person called "Elelia Nott Mistytin"? She hoped she wouldn't feel deceived and end up breaking up with her because she was a fake. After all, until now, she had no idea what Camisia thought of her, apart from her identity as a princess.
Hearing Ella's serious tone, Camisia also stood up straight and responded to Ella seriously.
"Yes, in the name of Nott."
I hope that scenario won't happen...
Praying silently in her heart, Ella began her action, holding up the golden Pestle of Heavenly Punishment in one hand.
『Choose your character as the only god』
『Change level to 999』
A soft white light enveloped Ella's whole body. After about two seconds, a girl with silver hair, purple eyes, and white wings on her back walked out of the white light.
"This is what I'm hiding."
Ella looked at Camisia with trepidation, because she would have to make corresponding countermeasures based on Camisia's reaction. If Camisia showed any dissatisfaction, she would have to take Lotte and escape through the window to the corner of the world. Before seeing Camisia use her full strength, no one would know the extent of her destructive power. How much damage could be caused by a blow from someone who transcended the heroic realm? Ella didn't want to try it at all.
Camisia stared at Ella's face, with no intention of looking away. There was no expression on her face that could reveal her emotions, and it was impossible to tell what she was thinking.
Then, Lotte moved slightly closer to Ella, who had reached her strongest state.
The scene of the three people staring at each other lasted for nearly a minute before it ended with Camisia's action.
Camisia's purple pupils dilated, and she walked to Ella at a speed that was almost invisible to ordinary people, squatted down, and kept her eyes parallel to Ella's. Her lips trembled as she kept adjusting her slightly disordered breathing.
“…This is…this is a miracle created by God…”
Chapter 66: Secret Conversation in the Room
“…This is…this is a miracle created by God…”
"Eh?"
Camisia's almost whispered words made Ella a little overwhelmed.
Originally, Ella thought that even if Camisia would accept, she would show some surprise. However, judging from the way Camisia wanted to reach out and touch her but didn't dare to actually do so, although it was also an expression of surprise, it was quite different from what she had imagined.
"Camisia?"
"Ahem, I lost my composure, Princess."
"Don't you think it's strange? Like this."
Ella spread her arms, looked around, and flapped her wings gently.
"But the princess is still the princess, isn't she? And the fact that you can combine the silver hair of the gods, the pointed ears of the elves, and the purple eyes of us demons is a gift from the gods, isn't it? And these wings... they must be the place where the most magical energy in your body is concentrated."
As Camisia spoke, she grasped the tip of the wing with her hand. The touch of the wing made Ella straighten her body immediately to avoid Camisia's hand.
"Ah, ah! Camisia, stop touching me!"
"Uh, is this sensitive?"
"That's true, but don't use such weird expressions!"
"Is it strange? Princess, your sensibilities are a bit strange."
No, no, no, no matter how you look at it, you will think that you are the weird one!
Because this would never end, Ella simply complained in her heart and then got down to business.
After stretching her still stiff body, Ella said to Camisia.
"Does Camisia know what my current level is?"
"Hmm... I don't know."
Camisia thought about it for a moment. Although she wanted to say subconsciously that she was still a level 17 healer, she knew that the princess would not talk about such nonsense at this time, so she simply answered "I don't know".
Seeing Camisia's completely harmless face, Ella fell into thought.
Even if Camisia revealed her true level, she wouldn't share it with anyone else. However, even Lotte didn't know that her true level was already top-tier within the F.Wing. Lotte only considered her strength "very strong." If she told Camisia this, would it trigger a chain reaction, like a butterfly effect? It was completely unpredictable, so it was best to keep it a secret from Camisia.
Ella nodded, deeply agreeing with the result.
"Actually, my true level has already surpassed the hero realm, right?"
"Is that so? Ever since you, Princess-sama, destroyed the 'Black Tide' of the Unhesir River without leaving a trace, I felt that you had at least reached my current level. My current level is 62, which means that Princess-sama is at least level 62."
Seeing that Camisia didn't express any doubt, Ella felt relieved.
"Perhaps, I'm actually only slightly stronger than Camisia."
There is nothing wrong with saying this. Camisia's attack magic is something that Ella cannot control. Even if it is said that Camisia is stronger than Ella, Ella will not question it. Of course, all this is just Ella's personal opinion.
"A little higher?... I've been stuck at level 62 for a thousand years now. No matter how much experience I've accumulated in that time, I haven't even leveled up. Just how far is the gap between me and the princess..."
"Wait a moment, 'Advanced Identification Technique'."
"Isn't this pretty close to the experience points needed to level up? I should be able to reach the next level with just a few more skills, right? But it took a thousand years. Is leveling up in this world really that difficult?"
Ella had always struggled to understand the leveling system in this world. According to common sense in F.Wing, players could gain a vast amount of experience simply by killing monsters in the early stages, easily reaching a dozen levels in a single day. But in this world, experience points were incredibly hard to come by. Ruti's remark, "Even just sitting there reading a spellbook can earn experience," had made Ella believe the average level in this world might be higher than in F.Wing. However, Ella later observed that even at Ruti's learning speed, sitting there studying spellbooks all day would only add less than 1% of the total experience bar. At that time, Ruti's level was still in the single digits; at her current level, it would probably be less than 0.3%.
"Camisia will level up soon, huh?"
"Hmm... Princess, I know my situation. You don't have to comfort me against your will."
Camisia lowered her head, looking quite lost.
"No, Camisia only needs to cast the skill a few more times to level up."
"Princess, if you say so, I'll try somewhere deserted after this is over."
[A deserted place? Wait, Camisia, how destructive is that?! Ah, enough, let's talk about my current appearance and Lotte's family name.]
"Camisia, do you have any clues about my current appearance? For example, why do I have characteristics of two races at the same time?"
Although these things will not have any impact on Ella now, Ella still has to take it seriously since it concerns her own health.
Perhaps communicating with the multiple "selves" in the eyes of the golden cat, Camisia fell into silent contemplation.
After about a minute, Camisia raised her head.
"No, even after six thousand years of accumulated experience, there's still no clue. Even the only god who appeared during the Demon God era only appeared as an old human."
