The walls I created were just for show, while the real show stopper is the barrier. This barrier not only reflects spells used against it back at its attacker, but it also makes the attacks homing attacks. These attacks only reflect back at those within the barrier. On the outside, they just get spun away. But there is another thing that this barrier does. If someone tries to touch it, they will not only be shredded to pieces, but they will feel the pain tenfold as they do.

I am being quite vicious, but I do not care. The current situation does not allow for niceties. Everyone in these lands can be considered my enemy. And because my detection magic is now locked on to him, I can see that Mr. Prime Minister is not having a good time at all. He is currently yelling at the king of Norian. Oh? It seems he is being arrested. This makes things easier on me. I bet the king of Norian wants to use him as a bargaining chip to be let off but sadly for him, his entire family has already been marked for dead by me. While I will keep to my normal rules of extermination, I will be wiping out the military, nobles, and royal families of all four kingdoms.“Hehehe….” I bit the tip of my finger, drawing blood. Just thinking about it was starting to make me excited….

I took a deep breath as I felt the pain in my finger. The taste of iron filled my mouth. “Even just a little bit of the ancient will is able to corrupt my mind. But it’s fine. A little craziness is what I need right now.”

I flew off to the Norian Kingdom’s capital. I was not here to kill civilians, only the nobles and military officials who okayed this war. I wasn’t planning to harm any innocents, but this did not mean I was not going to have an easy time picking who is who. I would need to gather them all in one place and use dragon speak on them. But to be sure it works, I will need to do it in another way. Since soul magic is unaffected by normal magic, I can use my soul to cast dragon speak on the nobles. This will allow me to truly know who is evil and who is good.

My travel time took five days. The Norian Kingdom was much bigger than the Gravos kingdom due to its continuous expansion. When I arrived at the capital, I found myself being welcomed by a group of knights on flying monsters. The lead knight flew in front of me and bowed his head: “Princess Cyrilia. His Majesty is waiting for you at the palace.”

“Oh? Not going to call me Demon Princess Cyrilia? Or any of the other names you have for me?” I asked in a mocking tone. The Knight’s eyebrow twitched, but he kept himself composed.

“Of crouse not, such names are….” The knight stopped speaking when a figure suddenly appeared next to me with a large bloody sack.“Diablo. You took care of it?” I asked with a smile.

“Master, there were four teams altogether, adding up to over one hundred heads,” Diablo replied. He looked at me and looked slightly shocked at first, but I guess that is the given with how my eyes were wide with excitement. The smell of blood was really making my blood boil. This was what I had to deal with when dealing with the ancient will. If I want to be more imposing and clear my mind of kindness, I need to use it, but even this little sliver of it is enough to cause issues. “Master you….”

“I will have to have you take a look another time, Diablo. For now, return to the capital just in case anything serious happens. And…. Thank you.” I replied with a smile. Although I think it might have been a bit of a crazed smile. There was nothing I could do at this time, though. Diablo nodded and disappeared. I took a deep breath before returning my gaze to the knight in front of me.

“Now then, shall we make our way to your king?” I asked, still smiling, but the knight now had a look of fear on his face. I guess my bloodlust was quite strong at this time. “You all call me the Demon Princess now, do you not? Would you like to join the men in this bag, or will you bring me to your king like you said you would?”

“Ahem… Please, this way….” The knight cleared his throat, and motioned for me to follow him. I nodded and allowed him to lead the way. The supposed men who were probably supposed to be my guard escorts were not flying at quite the distance away from me. My guess is that they want to be able to fly at any second in case I go crazy. Maybe the ancient will is not so bad after all. No! It is not something I should use lightly.

I took a deep breath and tried to clear my mind. I must never let my thoughts control me. This is what it wants.

When we arrived at the so called palace, which was nothing but a castle in my eyes, we walked right to the throne room unimpeded. On a throne sitting high above the rest of the room, was a young man who looked to be in his late twenties. He was muscular and burly and wore armor instead of kingly robes, as many kings wear. “So you are Demon Princess Cyrilia. I am the King of the Norian Kingdom, King Greth. I wish to make a deal with you.”

“Oh? A deal? What kind of deal can you make with me when you attacked and destroyed my home village? Killing my loved ones? Are you okay in the head? You want to make a deal with me!? I think you need to understand something right now, Mr. King. In this kingdom, including your three vassal states, you are all my hostages. The only one making deals is me, and only I am to be asking questions so….” I took a step forward and appeared right in front of the king and grabbed him by the scruff of his neck, and tossed him to the bottom of the stairs leading to the throne. “In this place here and now, I am the only one who makes all decisions. My word is like god’s words.”

I turned and sat on the throne and looked down at the king, who was struggling to get up. “You are the ones who dared to invade my homeland and kill my kingdom’s people and those close to me. You started this. Now I will make you and all those involved pay.”
