Operation Demon Castle Date ch4

p1
>As you already know, Demon Lord-chan,
>I'm the princess of Lislia, a country of humans.
>But I wasn't just a princess.

>Despite how I look,
>I was technically the first princess...

>I had no brothers or sisters...
>And my father...
>the king passed away before I was born.
>I was the sole candidate for the next queen.

>Maybe that's why...

>I was never allowed
>to leave the castle even once...
>>The princess speaks of her past...

p2
>Doing nothing but studying is boring.
>Kukuru wants to play outside too.

>My apologies, my lady.

>The outside is full of danger.

>If an accident were to befall you, it would affect this country's future.

>Besides...

p3
>these are Queen Selen's orders.

>...The Queen...
>You mean your...
>...Yes...

>My
>mother...

p4
>I can barely remember her.
>Last time I saw her was when I was still a child.

>She would always push her maids onto me and do nothing but work.
>I'm sure she treasured her country more than her own daughter.

>That's why

>she didn't think of me as anything more than an heir.

>So to make sure I didn't leave,
>she trapped me in that castle so I would succeed her, even if she had to use force...

>But at that time,

p5
>I saw it in a picture book...

>The princess in this book couldn't leave her castle either.
>But it was then that her destined one arrived and took her away.
>Then had dates in all kinds of places and finally got married...

>That's why...

>I've always waited for a destined one like that
>to take me away...

>Well,
>in my case, it turned out to be an unbelievable Demon Lord.
>Ehehe...

p6
>Well,

>regardless of the form,
>I'm grateful to you for taking me away from that castle, Demon Lord-chan.

>I thought
>I'd be stuck in that castle all my life.

>...Princess...

>I mean, it's my first time being out of the castle
>walking around so much,
>and naturally, being on such a crazy date.

>That's why... um...
>What...?
>Th-Thank...

p7
>Sorry, Princess.
>Phone call.

>...What is it?
>Diana's busy right now.

>I can't believe she'd have a phone call with another woman in the middle of our date!
>And in the middle of my nice speech too!!

p8
>Apologies for interrupting, Diana-sama.

>There's been news of an imposter in Brosfell Castle.

>Please come to the throne room urgently...

>No way.
>You handle it, Seya.
>Should the Demon Lord be doing that...?

>P-Please wait, Diana-sama!
>This intruder is...

p9
>...Demon Lord-chan...?

>Sorry, Princess.
>I need to do a little cleaning.
>Eh? Wait!
>I'll be right back.

>Nephie, take care of the Princess.
>Yes, Diana-sama!

>...
>Heave-ho. Heave-ho.

>Come on. Do your best, little turtles!
>Diana-sama's orders!
>Y-Yes, Nephie-shama.
>Are they gonna be okay...?

p10
>We're here~(note)

>Well then, until Diana-sama gets back,

>Nephie will be your escort, Kukuru-sama(note)
>No, you don't have to.

>First, since you just said you were tired,
>I'll heal you with this(note)

>Like I said, I don't need anything...

p11
>Amazing...
>My fatigue is really disappearing...

p12
>Huh...?
>Why... do I feel so sleepy...

>I'm sorry, Kukuru-sama.

>This is for Nephie's dream,
>so...

>Could you help me out?

>>Kukuru's in big trouble!!
