Scarlet
I blankly stare at all of the ssages in the livestream as Alia finishes up her explanation of the prophecy, basically just outlining the thing without telling any of the specifics except for what has already occurred up till now. But no matter how long I stare, I cant wrap my mind around how everything has transpired.
The way I thought this would play out is all of the humans imdiately turning on and hating for being a demon and the granddaughter of the Demon King. And now? Now most people at least publicly seem fine with again while theyre instead hating on Alia
Just how?
If I had to guess, Alia probably had everything planned out to the last detail about your reveal, Tar comnts from his place on my shoulder as I continue sitting on a tree near the ash-covered crater I made with the Red Knight.
Yeah. She had to have. Theres no other possible explanation.
But to take all of the bla on herself? Did she really have to do that?
There mightve been other ways to handle it, but this was the fastest and most efficient thod, Tar says. Its also a way for her to punish herself for what she did to you.
A way to punish herself
I purse my lips at the thought before leaning back on the tree and staring up at the full moon in the sky.
This is a lot to take in at once.
You can think about how to treat Alia after this later, Tar suddenly says, making glance at him with confusion etched onto my face. For now itd be a good idea to head to the main battlefield, otherwise the demons and humans will start fighting again after the demons calm down.
Right. I almost forgot about that.
Cant waste the montum Alia just made.
With that thought in mind, I begin running towards the main battlefield. While in my lycan form, of course. Because I dont want to aggravate the humans there.
I arrive on a mountainside overlooking the main battlefield, only to find the demons and humans having separated on both sides of the battlefield. And while the humans are all discussing things amongst themselves, mostly about Alia and how she betrayed both humanity and her own daughter, the demons are all cheering for The Apex Predator and Princess of the Demons.
Overall a rather odd sight to behold.
Particularly because they arent attacking each other.
All of the sapient demons are tightly holding the reigns of the non-sapient ones, anwhile the Nobles are holding the reigns of the sapient ones likely to lose control of themselves in a battlefield to their Sin.
Not that the Nobles need to restrain them considering how even those demons are cheering their hearts out.
So you ca? I suddenly hear a familiar voice, making look over to find both Red and his son Blake standing several ters away from , the two of them sohow having arrived without my knowing. And the sight of Red being there makes quickly look at the livestream, only to find that the only Knight still there is Alia, who is calmly answering questions from the chat.
I look back up at the battlefield again as I mutter, Yeah. Cant waste the opportunity Alia gave .
Out of the corner of my eye, I notice a smirk stretching across Reds face. A smirk that honestly makes want to punch him.
But I cant. Because that would be a death sentence.
I can punch him when Im strong enough to not have to worry about his retaliation in the future.
Wow, great compromise there, Tar says with a snort. In my head, of course.
Yes. That it is.
He snorts again.
In that case, let help you, Red suddenly says, making blink in surprise before turning to look at him. Apex Predator.
Then a geyser of black flas suddenly shoots up from beneath my feet, carrying up into the air without harming sohow. And at the sa ti, it manages to gather quite the number of gazes. And the owners of those gazes then point out to everyone around them, making the center of attention from almost everyone after just a short period of ti.
Silence soon fills the entire battlefield, following which the geyser holding up cos back down and I land firmly on my feet back on the ground. Then, as if he hadnt just done that, Red just walks up with a smirk on his face and hands a microphone while patting a massive speaker that had appeared out of nowhere. Probably a spatial storage.
Although why he had one on hand I dont know.
I take the microphone before turning to look at the hundreds of millions of people who all have their eye on . And despite all of their gazes, I dont feel nervous at all. But then again, I was never particularly shy. Just that I dislike dealing with other people, so I avoid them.
If I were to get shy though, this is probably the ti Id expect it.
But nope. Nothing.
I step forward with the mic in my hand, the eyes of millions of people following my every move from all across the massive battlefield. A battlefield thats so massive that the only reason I can even almost see the other end of it is because of the very large mountain were standing on.
Being nervous and knowing what to say are two entirely different things though.
Tar snorts, making the corner of my lips quirk up ever so slightly.
I let out a short sigh before raising the microphone to my mouth and narrowing my eyes before saying, Hello, my na is Scarlet, but many of you here now know as Scarlet Art Asger de Archeron, The Apex Predator, Daughter of the White Knight of Humanity, Princess of the Demon World, and Scarlet Wolf. My voice resonates throughout the entire massive valley and the mountains beyond, whatever speaker Red is using obviously being a piece of magi-tech equipnt.
But I ignore that as I smirk slightly and say, And I have a proposition for you all.
