Isis’ castle, the Land of Death…… Currently, the entrance to the castle has an indescribable atmosphere around it.
With her head rubbing on the ground, Rasal was kneeling in a dogeza, while Isis and Polaris were looking at her, puzzled…… In the midst of all this, Rasal remained on her knees, thinking to herself.
(D- Don’t screw with ! The King of Death…… Being called the King of Death, I expected a necromancer like or soone like that eccentric lich!!! This is no good! This is not fair! Why the heck am I facing a death incarnate!? This guy…… Isn’t she the very embodint of death!?)
Being a necromancer, Rasal is close to the concept of death. That ‘s why she could understand more than others how trendous the magic power of death Isis was clad in.
Therefore, she imdiately understood that she was an opponent she could never win against.
(There’s no way I can win! Necromancers, so to speak, are beings who fight by borrowing a part of the mighty power of death. How could I, a necromancer, win against soone who is the originator of that power!?)
In a manner of speaking, Rasal’s will to fight was completely broken after just one glance upon her.
(What should I do? I’ve already broken down their gate and picked a fight with soone who looked like her subordinate…… N- No, I haven’t said anything concrete yet. For the ti being, I should apologize for breaking their gate.)
While Rasal is thinking frantically in her mind, Isis looked a little puzzled and called out to her.
[……Errr……]
[I’m sorry for breaking the gate!!!]
[……U- Unnn…… That’s alright…… but you are?]
[My na is Rasal Marfik! I’ve co to see Death King-sama, b- but I got a bit nervous……]
She hadn’t told a lie. Regardless of her purpose, it’s true that she ca here to see Isis. Nevertheless, Rasal’s heart is completely broken already, and she is in such a state that she can never think of fighting Isis.
Therefore, her thoughts were occupied with how to get through this situation.
Thereupon, Polaris seed to have realized sothing as she spoke at that mont.
[……Perhaps, you’ve co here to beco Isis-sama’s subordinate?]
[……Huh?]
[No, you see, I rembered how I was just as flustered as you when Head-dono brought before Isis-sama back then. You must have been so eager to see Isis-sama that you ended up breaking down the gate to get in, right?]
[……I- Is that so?]
The words Polaris said were unexpected for Rasal, and since she was in the middle of frantically thinking, hearing what she said made her thoughts completely stop for a mont.
However, within the ti Polaris spoke her thoughts, Isis’ expression clearly changed to one of happiness.
[I’m sure that until now, she was also being reserved. Perhaps, hearing that Isis-sama’s subordinates have recently begun to increase, she ca here in a hurry?]
[……So that’s how it is…… Rasal…… had co to beco my subordinate?]
[……That’s right.]
……Rasal broke. Isis was clearly pleased, so she felt that denying her words might put her in a bad mood.
Therefore, in order to get through the situation for the ti being, she decided to just go along with the story.
[……How the heck did this happen……]
In a room in the castle given to her by Isis, Rasal’s head was in her hands.
She has finally completed years of research and it should have been ti for an onslaught. She was going to show the world the results of her research…… is what she thought would happen, but in fact, without even using the results of her research, her will to fight was broken, and she beca the subordinate of the opponent she had intended to defeat.
[……Rasal…… May I co in?]
[Isis-sama? Y- Yes, please co in.]
Hearing the voice calling out to her, Rasal’s back straightened as she responded, and opening the door, Isis entered the room.
[How can I help you?]
[……Unnn…… We’ve just t today…… and I don’t know much about Rasal…… So if you want…… let’s talk over tea.]
[H- Huhh…… I- I understand.]
When she wondered what was going on, what ca to her was an invitation to tea, and although she felt as if she got the short end of the stick, Rasal, completely unwilling to go against Isis anymore, nodded at her suggestion.
[……I’m glad…… Then…… I’ll go prepare it.]
[……Please wait a mont, is Isis-sama going to prepare the tea?]
[……Unnn…… That’s right?]
[N- No, it should be the opposite. It should be , the subordinate, who prepares tea for her King, Isis-sama…… So shouldn’t it be who would prepare tea for Isis-san?]
[……Rasal will make tea for ? ……I’m glad…… Thank you.]
[……………………Please wait a mont.]
Seeing Isis looking really delighted, Rasal looked dumbfounded…… and with an indescribable expression on her face, Rasal took the cups and prepared the tea.
