A King's Contract
"Good evening, sleepy little princess."
A male voice, as if tinged with magic, echoed in her ear.
Despite being a pleasant voice, it made La Folia's face change instantly, like a cat whose fur had bristled, and she instinctively pulled the covers tighter.
The royal capital of the Kingdom of Aldikia.
The dressing room of the Silver Princess, La Folia.
The young girl, dressed in thin clothing, leaned against the bed, her beautiful hands firmly gripping the soft sheet, her small body poised to move, fumbling around the headboard.
Under the faint moonlight, she clearly saw that the person in front of her was a black-haired young man who appeared to be around twenty years old.
He had black hair and black eyes, a resolute and handsome face, and was dressed in a full set of expensive black suits, the style of which seemed to be the latest trend in the royal capital's tailoring.
La Folia's first impression was that this black-haired young man was a successful person from the East, but his face was far too young.
*I found it!*
The little princess's expression lit up as she grasped the square object in her hand.
As soon as she entered her fingerprint, a group of knights would immediately rush in to drive away the intruder and protect her safety.
"If I were you, I wouldn't make any small moves," the black-haired young man said with a smile.
La Folia, who was about to enter her fingerprint, paused, her index finger suspended in the air.
She was discovered very quickly.
This situation involuntarily tensed La Folia's heart. Although she was a powerful medium with some combat ability, ordinary vampires might not even be her match.
However, La Folia couldn't guarantee she would survive at the hands of this man who could silently sneak into her room.
Although her human instinct for fear urged her to press, she dared not take the risk.
Decisively discarding the distress device, La Folia opened her icy eyes and asked as calmly as possible, "What do you want? Money? Power? Whatever those vampires from the War King's Domain can give you, I will pay you ten times the original reward on behalf of the Princess."
Connecting it to the earlier terrorist attack, La Folia naturally assumed Kaido was part of a terrorist group.
Therefore, preserving her life was the most important thing at this moment.
A slightly magnetic chuckle was heard.
The black-haired young man shook his head, revealing a helpless smile, and it was this expression that made La Folia's hair stand on end.
"Don't compare me to those boring vampires. If I wanted to kill you, you would have already died in your sleep."
La Folia frowned, not entirely believing what Kaido said.
A man secretly sneaking into a princess's bedroom seemed suspicious from any angle.
Even if he didn't want her life, he must have other motives.
Because her maids had instilled many inappropriate knowledge and ideas into her during her childhood, La Folia was far more mature than she looked.
In an instant, thousands of possible scenarios appeared in the Silver Princess's mind.
Secret room training, Princess Misfortune Play.avi, hot weapons, and other terrifying measures for all women; although she was precocious and advocated for a male harem, it didn't mean she was willing to become someone else's plaything.
Besides, she was only thirteen years old that year, her period had only recently started, and her organs weren't fully developed yet. If she were captured and subjected to misfortune, her life would be over.
But even so, La Folia forcibly suppressed her inner fear. The more panic she felt at this moment, the more chaotic everything would become. Only by calming down first could she find an opportunity to turn the tables.
"I am La Folia Lihavain. Since you don't want my life, could you tell me your purpose?"
She took a deep breath.
"It's said that the women of the Lihavain family are mediums who can communicate with spirits, so..."
Kaido picked up the milk that Justina had left on the table earlier and took a sip... *Mmm, it was sweet and smooth, truly worthy of being an exclusive tribute for royalty.*
Feeling a bit hungry, Kaido simply ate the remaining food and finally wiped his mouth with a napkin, before nodding in satisfaction.
La Folia eagerly awaited Kaido's reply, but she didn't expect this guy to brazenly eat her dinner as if no one else was present.
*Grrr...*
The young girl, who hadn't eaten anything since noon, heard her stomach rumble with hunger.
"Hehe..."
Hearing the soft chuckle beside her ear, La Folia blushed, feeling she had lost her composure.
"I fancy your potential as a medium, so, little girl, would you like to try making a contract with me and becoming a magical girl? My apologies, I misspoke..." Kaido paused, then looked at the silver-haired loli with a benevolent gaze: "Become a witch who serves the King?"
"..."
The silver-haired loli said nothing, but Kaido read a look of utter idiocy in La Folia's eyes.
"I..."
Just as La Folia was about to beat around the bush and buy more time, she suddenly felt a surge of magical aura emanating from the black-haired young man.
Elegant yet violent, like a tsunami, the pressure caused La Folia's face to pale, as if she were a small boat trembling in the midst of a storm. She had every reason to believe that the man before her possessed power even greater than the True Ancestor who founded the Empress of Chaos.
Moreover, as a medium, she also sensed that familiar energy from Kaido.
"The person who saved me at the earlier festival, was that you..."
The silver-haired princess asked in surprise.
The headache sensation she had felt earlier no longer returned; instead, there was a longing emanating from her body, not a conscious desire, but her young body yearning to be close to him.
She had never seen a deity before, but she felt a sense of closeness to the black-haired young man in front of her; her suspicion and fear faded, as if he were a long-lost relative.
However, La Folia was not facing a deity; on the contrary, she was facing a Godslayer who had killed several gods and reigned over another world.
"I see in your eyes that you're no longer as resistant as you were at first. Good... That way I won't have to waste my breath."
Kaido revealed a frivolous smile.
Before, it was simply a straightforward question; even if La Folia disagreed, he wouldn't listen to the princess's opinion.
And what if he came to another world and lost his kingly status?
Status and respect are earned through strength.
If any little punk dares to provoke him in the future, Kaido wouldn't mind making them all kneel and sing "Conquest."
Well, besides this slightly chuunibyo reason, La Folia is quite to his liking.
An arrogant chuckle resonated in the air.
La Folia felt her body fill with joy and excitement. Her medium abilities allowed her to see many things at that moment: gods falling like meteorites, and...
The aura she felt from Kaido made the Silver Princess show a surprised expression.
In this world where demons and humans coexist, the existence of beings with strange abilities is not uncommon. As the First Princess of the Kingdom of Aldikia, La Folia's knowledge surpassed that of ordinary people.
Not even the world's strongest Vampire True Ancestor would make her feel like this.
La Folia's body resonated with the magical power floating in the air. Observing the black-haired young man, after suppressing the excitement and shock, she regained her composure and asked, "Can Your Excellency tell me who you are?"
"The World Destroyer, a transient Transmigrator, a Demon King, a Godslayer. I might have other titles. You can interpret it however you like."
Kaido slightly raised the corner of his mouth, and then looked into La Folia's eyes.
Her blue eyes shimmered like a glacier under the aurora.
"I understand." The silver-haired loli nodded slightly. After the initial emotional fluctuations, she had regained her usual demeanor, with elegance and nobility perfectly displayed at this moment.
"I thank Your Excellency for saving my life. On behalf of the Lihavain Family, the doors of the Kingdom of Aldikia will always be open for you."
After hearing that string of intimidating titles, La Folia had no doubts about Kaido.
After all, the black-haired young man in front of her had no reason to deceive her.
"But why does Your Excellency wish to... enter a contract with me?"
"I think I already said it before. An excellent witch is a valuable resource in any world."
Kaido reached out and lifted La Folia's soft chin.
"Are you ready? It might hurt a little afterward."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Yun uttered a phrase.
Although the Princess couldn't understand its meaning, she could feel the surging magical power.
Then, before La Folia could react, and with a slightly nervous look in her eyes, Kaido gazed at her pink lips and leaned down slightly.
"Ugh..."
Feeling the brush on her lips, the Silver Princess let out a soft, instinctive moan. Then, she clutched the sheet with both hands, involuntarily shrinking her small body.
However, the strength of a thirteen-year-old loli was no match for a Godslayer.
After struggling in vain, La Folia could only passively endure the uncomfortable, and for her age, exceptionally forbidden experience.
Yet, as her body gradually reacted, La Folia was surprised to feel that the other party was not taking advantage of her, a loli.
An unimaginable amount of magical power flowed into her body with his touch.
Furthermore, this magical power deviated somewhat from the magical replenishment she knew, because the external magical power, after entering, condensed into a form she couldn't comprehend, as if skilled craftsmen were constantly and precisely modifying her flesh and bones.
"W-woo..."
Bead-sized drops of sweat appeared on her forehead.
Even Erica and the others would find the modification process painful, so of course, the thirteen-year-old princess could only emit helpless whimpers.
However, after the pain, came an unprecedented feeling of lightness.
La Folia had never felt as refreshed and vital as she did now. At the same time, she also noticed a faint connection between herself and Kaido.
"Feeling better?"
Kaido wiped the excess sweat from the panting Princess.
Her clothes were already damp, and she looked as delicate and pitiful as if she had just been pulled from water.
"H-huff... h-huff... Your Excellency, could you please let me prepare before doing something like that again?"
After the magical replenishment and contract ritual was completed, La Folia's tone of voice was no longer as fearful as before; it became more natural.
"Did I forget to say?" Kaido asked with feigned surprise.
"You didn't even give me half a second to prepare! What kind of warning was that?!" La Folia said, disgusted. For some reason, Kaido's expression as he said that made him seem quite annoying.
Godslayers are all annoying types, but people who can beat them are just another group of annoying people.
After a pause, La Folia added, "Are you this direct with all women?"
"The status and respect received are proportional. If you were an ordinary person, with no special qualities, even with unparalleled beauty, I wouldn't spare you a glance."
Kaido laughed frivolously.
"You should be grateful to possess the qualifications to be favored by a Demon King."
He lived as he pleased in the previous world, so Kaido had no intention of living suffocated in this new world.
Life, well, if you have the ability, who wouldn't want to live it to the fullest?
"You mean I'm yours now? No matter what, I'm still the Princess of the Kingdom of Aldikia. Important life decisions can't be made so hastily."
La Folia said, half-joking and half-rehearsing.
However, Kaido's expression was relatively indifferent: "Whatever you want. But do you think a princess who signed a contract with a Demon King still has room to back out?"
Composing herself and confirming that the man in front of her was quite domineering, La Folia sighed silently in her heart.
Although it was impossible for her to like a man who forced women, just as Kaido said, she had no way to regret it now.
"Life is like a rape. If you can't resist, try to enjoy it. Perhaps you'll find it quite comfortable later," Kaido quipped.
