Chapter 264: Pretty princess

"Ok, where are we and who are you?" Zach asked

"My name is Charlotte Bright. The first princess of the royal Bright family of the holy sun kingdom, the Narva kingdom" she introduced herself

-The author is just reusing names at this point because he's too lazy to come up with new characters-

| What? No! |

-He is- Dabria agreed -You can tell that he's lying, he answered too quickly-

"So pretty lady, we would love to help out, but I don't know whether we would stay enough to be able to help" Draven responded "We fought a demon lord once, trust me, not a weak fella. And that was wit the help of my boss and other associates who have a similar power level"

"Well to be fair, we are celestials now" Damon pointed out "We can take one of the same level"

"Oh...you think I'm pretty?" Charlotte blushed and use her hand to cover her red cheeks

"Smooth move" Zach laughed as he nudged Draven "She might be the one your looking for"

"This is what I've been waiting for! A simple world where peace can be brought by fighting a demon lord! The cliché I wanted...I beat the demon lord, marry a literal goddess and live a simple life relaxing in the countryside while raising wonderful children. Come on, Charlotte, tell us the direction of the Demon king's castle, chop chop!"

"What's 'chop chop'?" She asked "Is this some sort of divine words where you pray for eternal success?"

"...Wow"

"Pretty princess, it means hurry up" Draven answered in frustration "Well we'll be spending a few days at least here, might as well have some fun"

"R-Right, I'll introduce you to my father, I'll try my best to get you briefed right away, follow me" she requested

*****

"No, absolutely not" A bodyguard who is Balor, the treacherous traitor whom I killed before. "We have detectors in the castle and the mage just now confirmed it, these are not humans, these are demon spies who can somehow use the legendary warp spell and are sent here to kill us all"

Balor in this world is a much older man and is the bodyguard and aide to the king

"But heroes don't need to be human, they can be dragons or angels" Charlotte countered "Those detectors can only detect if someone is human, they could be gods in disguise but those detectors don't work that way"

-Yes, this is what I expected!-

-You are very weird- Dabria commented -I got your memories and experience your weird thoughts, but I still can't understand you-

"Well I ain't human" Draven shrugged "I'm a ghoul, a celestial ghoul to be precise"

"A demon!" Balor accused as several knights pointed their spears at us and some people in the room gasped in horror "They feast on human flesh for enjoyment"

"That's a bit self centered" Siege grumbled aloud "What makes you think that humans are so special? Ghouls eat other meats too and it's mostly only to satisfy their hunger"

"Forbidden magic! Charlotte, you may be a princess, but this-" he then shut his own mouth as the king raised his hand signaling that he demands absolute silence

"Explain" the king requested "Animals do not talk with regular magic, if you do not have a proper explanation, the others will have to kill you. I'd rather hear it from the mouths of the unknown people whom my daughter claimed appeared in front of her as she made a prayer, what are you?"

"That's rude" Diana replied as she turned from her bird form into her human form causing a few more cliché gasp of shock with the words of 'witch' up in the air

-No one calls Diana a witch, only I can- Damon complained -And I only do that sometimes-

-Brother, I don't think that that's something you should be proud of- Diana responded unhappily

"We're only celestials here, so just add that in front of our race. He's a dragon, she's a phoenix, cat, dog, ghoul, he's technically a homunculus, and I'm a dhampir. Half vampire and half human if you don't know the word"

"Your majesty, they are demons!" Balor accused us again "Kill them now, charlotte is naïve, she doesn't know better"

"Cool, I love this. Go on, give the order to execute us so that we can fight our way out of here, go on a journey to fight the demon king and prove you wrong"

"Dude, pick the right timing" Zach said "Though it does sound exciting"

-You have 2 girlfriends and a family waiting for you at home- Dabria commented as I felt her rolled her eyes -So be quick-

"Damn it, right, I got 2 girlfriends at home"

-Sometimes I question my life choices- Siege sighs while shaking his head

-I do, but I think I pick right, this is fun- Ace chimed in

"What kind of girls are crazy enough to be courted by a demon like you?!" Balor shouted "They must have fallen for forbidden magic, you vampires love to seduce people for your own pleasure"

"That's an insult to all vampires, I'm a vampire prince. I can't have you talk like that about my people. Charlotte, you know the location of the demon king's castle, right?"

"Yes" she nodded

"Right, so we'll borrow you a bit, fight our way out of here and head on our way there where you can elope with Draven afterwards"

"What the hell are you suggesting?!" Draven retorted

"That does sound pretty good" Zach nodded

"Yeah, she's pretty much into you, you're not dense like a cliché protagonist. The grumpy ghoul and the super beautiful princess sounds like something I read from a novel"

"Kill them!" Balor ordered

My eyes glowed as I felt I activated the void of eternal dreams, all the soldiers then fall to the ground snoring one by one followed by the king and everyone else.

"What the...fuck?" Draven cursed as he knelt down and rubbed one of his eyes

"Should've drank more coffee, this is affecting me too" Zach yawned

-Even if going back home is easier than going to my original world, if I keep meet annoying people like this, the cooldown will feel so much longer-
