I woke up in the royal castle of the Kingdom of Carland, lying in what must have been the king’s own bed.
For an immortal like me, sleeping seemed like a waste of time, but I felt refreshed. It wasn’t so bad.
This feeling was probably due to the blend of my past life memories as a human and my current memories as the Demon King.
Of course, my core personality is still that of a Demon King. My goal of creating a paradise for monsters on this earth hasn’t changed, nor do I have a shred of mercy to spare for humans.
Still, if they surrender, I might allow them some degree of self-governance instead of killing them outright.
“Almena, are you there?”
“Yes.”
At my call, Almena appeared silently by the bedside.
…Before, I didn’t think much of it, but now I wonder how she manages to appear without making a single sound.
Well, given that magic exists in this world, it’s not surprising that there are a few mysteries.
“How are you feeling?”
“No issues. I’ve calmed down since last night.”
“That’s a relief.”
“By the way, what happened to the female knight I fought? Did you kill her?”
“It would be dangerous to ignore anyone who managed to harm you, Lord Baldin. However, disposing of her outright might prevent us from understanding how to deal with similar threats in the future, so she’s currently imprisoned in the dungeon for study.”
“I see. Then release her.”
“…As you wish. Are you certain?”
I nodded in response to Almena’s question.
Research, for monsters, typically involves dissecting the subject alive to study them in detail.
It’s a bit too cruel, really. My past life’s personality must be influencing me, making me think it’s unnecessary to inflict excess suffering.
And more importantly…
“That female knight had an amazing breast.”
“…Pardon?”
Yes, her breast.
Because of that breast, or maybe thanks to it, I regained my memories of my past life.
It reminded me of the sublime existence of a beautiful breast.
Though it’s not as if I’m sparing her life just to thank her for that.
Still, if I let a human go simply because she has a great breast, it would undermine my authority as the Demon King.
“Just kidding—I plan to use her as a messenger.”
“A messenger, my lord?”
“Yes. Humans are numerous. Destroying them one by one would tire out my soldiers. Instead, I’ll have her nation offer annual tributes of slaves and grant them minimal autonomy as long as they comply.”
I said it as if it was a thought-out plan.
Hearing this, Almena blinked in surprise.
“I see. By destroying one kingdom, we can show the strength of the Demon King’s army and, at the same time, demonstrate that you’re capable of mercy. The carrot and the stick approach.”
“Yes, something like that.”
“Then I’ll make the arrangements… By the way, Lord Baldin, what are you looking at?”
“Oh, just… admiring your impressive breast.”
I was gazing at Almena’s breast.
Large, yet beautifully shaped—even through her clothes, the form was clear.
Big, and beautifully shaped—an ideal combination.
“Could I… have a squeeze?”
“If it’s you, Lord Baldin, I don’t mind.”
“W-Wait, seriously?”
“Yes… But please, maintain a more dignified tone.”
“Ah, right, sorry… Are you really okay with this?”
I asked for confirmation again, surprised by her calm acceptance.
And again, Almena nodded.
“It’s not an issue. All demons from the Demon Realm, including the Demon King’s army, are your possessions, after all, Lord Baldin.”
Seriously?
I thought being the Demon King just meant being a symbol of power, but it seems it comes with unexpected perks.
My breath quickened.
“Then… really, can I?”
“Please go ahead.”
I reached out to Almena’s breast.
It was large, soft, and filled my hands completely. As I lifted and let go, it bounced repeatedly with a satisfying “boing♡.”
“These are real breasts.”
In my past life, I could only admire them in videos, but now, real breasts are bouncing vigorously right in front of me.
I couldn’t help but swallow hard.
“Th-this is… real breasts? I could touch them forever.”
“Mmm…♡ Th-that would be a bit problematic as it would interfere with my work…”
“Oh, uh, yeah, you’re right.”
As I hastily pulled my hands away, Almena blushed with embarrassment.
Wow, a beautiful woman making a cute face like that should be illegal.
“I didn’t expect someone like Lord Baldin, who’s immortal, to have such desires.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes. Well, if it were an order, I would be willing to go even further…”
“E-even further!?”
Does that mean… s-s-se–
“N-no, that’s a no-go! You should save that kind of thing for when you find someone you truly love!”
“Are you really in a position to say that, having just fondled my breast, Lord Baldin?”
“Er… yes, you’re right. My bad.”
“…Well, it would normally be unbearably unpleasant to be touched by a man I don’t like. But with you, Lord Baldin, I don’t mind.”
“Eh? What does that mean…?”
Just then, a loud battle cry echoed from outside the castle, and I looked down from the window.
“That’s…”
“It seems to be the Kingdom of Carland’s final resistance. Reports came in that the kingdom’s troops, which have been fighting back across the land, have formed a last-ditch force and are advancing toward the capital.”
“You could’ve informed me about that a bit earlier.”
However, Almena likely judged it to be a trivial matter for me.
From what I could see, only a few hundred soldiers had come to attack.
They might have had a few thousand soldiers initially, but they were likely decimated on their way to the capital.
For the demon king’s army, which numbers in the millions, such a force is negligible.
Even if they were to reach me, no one could defeat me, the most powerful Demon King.
I smirked.
“If anyone manages to reach the castle, bring them to me. I’ll take them on myself.”
“Understood.”
After waiting for a while, two people, a young man and a woman, reached the grand hall.
“Are you… the Demon King!?”
“C-calm down, brother!”
It appears that they are siblings.
The brother was a young man with handsome features, likely quite popular.
A voice from my past life whispered, “Pretty boys must perish.”
…Not only did my past self-have a fondness for breasts, but it seems he also held a deep-seated grudge against handsome men.
I’d like to tell him not to worry, though, since I now have good looks myself.
Now, as for the sister—
“!?”
She looked like a petite young girl.
She was dressed in a nun’s habit, with a cross necklace hanging from her neck.
She must be a devout believer of some religion.
What surprised me was the large breast she possessed, visible even under the modestly covered habit.
Though she seemed around fifteen or sixteen, young and petite…
Her breast was astonishingly large for her slender frame.
That’s what you’d call a “loli with big breasts.”
In my previous life, that would be an extremely rare sight—something not meant to be seen even if encountered.
“…Huge… and so beautiful…”
“Prepare yourself, Demon King!”
“Whoa!”
As I was admiring the girl’s breast, I narrowly avoided the brother’s sword, which nearly sliced my neck.
Well, even if I were decapitated, it wouldn’t kill me…
But as a Demon King, my pride wouldn’t allow me to lose to someone weaker than myself.
I punched the young man in the stomach.
“Hmph!”
“Gah!?”
He flew several meters, crashing into the wall.
“Haha, how weak.”
“Brother!!”
“Ugh…”
The girl ran over to the young man, trying to heal his injuries with healing magic.
However, his wound was fatal.
Though she cried while desperately trying to heal him, anyone could see it was too late.
And then, a devil within me—a voice from my past life—whispered.
“Hey.”
“Eek!”
When I spoke, the girl looked at me, her face filled with fear.
“I can save your brother.”
“…What? Wh-why…?”
“Of course, it won’t be for free.”
With a wicked grin, I made a proposal to the girl.
That proposal was—
“Could you let me touch your breasts?”
The girl blinked at my request.
Then, understanding my words a bit later, her face flushed a deep red, all the way to her ears.
How cute.
