《Rotten Princess Side》
ㅤ
Before becoming a Demon King, Rotten Princess was an ugly monster.
ㅤ
『It’s disgusting!』『Don’t come near!』『Kyaa! Go away!』
ㅤ
. . . . . .Rotten Princess cursed her own ugliness.
Why was she born with such a body?
ㅤ
Shunned by people, looked down upon, trampled, mocked. . . . . .
Rotten Princess started to hate people, those around her.
ㅤ
What particularly irritated her were those born beautiful, those with well-arranged appearances.
ㅤ
『Even though I try so hard. . . . . . I can’t become beautiful. . . . . . they are born beautiful. . . . . . it’s unfair. . . . . . it’s unequal. . . . . .! Unfair. . . . . . unfair. . . . . .!』
ㅤ
Negative emotions accumulated inside Rotten Princess.
Hatred towards others, jealousy. . . . . . something dark started accumulating inside her each time.
ㅤ
Unfair. . . . . . unfair. . . . . . unfair. . . . . .
Jealous, envious, jealous.
ㅤ
『If you want it that much, why don’t you just take it?』
ㅤ
Once in the forest, Rotten Princess met a Demon King.
That Demon King had a very beautiful appearance.
ㅤ
『Ta. . . . . .ta. . . . . . . . . . .?』
『Yes, just take it. This world is the survival of the fittest. Just consume the weak and make them yours』
ㅤ
The Demon King approached and touched Rotten Princess’s ugly body with a poke. . . . . .
ㅤ
『Do. . . . . .do. . . . . .not touch. It’s slimy. . . . . . isn’t it disgusting?』
『Is that so? I actually like people like you.』
『. . . . . . I hate you. You’re too beautiful.』
『Ahaha~. Hate, huh? I haven’t heard that in a while. Interesting!』
ㅤ
Grinning, the Demon King said to Rotten Princess,
『I shall give you a name』
『A name. . . . . .?』
『Yes, a name. In this world, having a name carries significant meaning. If you get a name from the strong, you can evolve and become stronger』
『Evolve. . . . . .』
『Yes, you will evolve from an ugly monster into a beautiful, strong existence. . . . . . How about it?』
ㅤ
She had no choice.
Rotten Princess accepted the name from the Demon King and evolved.
『You are the strongest undead monster, Rotten Princess. Corrupt and rot everything that has light in this world』
ㅤ
With genuine delight, the Demon King said,
ㅤ
『Why not try corrupting everything except yourself? That way, you will become the most beautiful and radiant being』
ㅤ
Those words were a curse.
They amplified the dark feelings that Rotten Princess had been hiding in her heart. . . . . .
They brought further evolution, and Rotten Princess evolved into a Demon King species, undergoing existence evolution.
Thereafter, she strove to transform everything in this world into undead monsters.
She continued to defile all that had light, to blaspheme all that was alive.
All to become the most beautiful existence.
ㅤ
. . . . . .However.
A beautiful-hearted woman appeared before Rotten Princess.
ㅤ
Kyrie・Inori.
A human claiming to be the Holy Demon King.
ㅤ
That person did nothing.
Without any effort, she was liked by many monsters and dwarfs.
ㅤ
It’s unacceptable.
I went through so much pain, and I finally evolved into a Demon King.
ㅤ
I can’t stand it. . . . . . It’s resentful. . . . . . Jealous. . . . . .
That’s why I thought of defeating, sullying, and defiling Kyrie.
ㅤ
But. . . . . . It was no good.
For some reason, that woman has a power greater than myself.
ㅤ
Why, how come?
I’m struggling so much here.
ㅤ
Why can’t I win?
Why. . . . . . against a mere girl like that. . . . . .
ㅤ
The Rotten Princess finally offered up her body.
She offered her beautifully evolved body as a sacrifice and brought down a god into this world, yet. . . . . .
ㅤ
Still. . . . . . I can’t win. . . . . .
ㅤ
『Screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeam!』
ㅤ
I hate all beings that have light.
I’m jealous of the beings that have what I do not.
ㅤ
Therefore. . . . . .
With all my body and soul, that god of light. . . . . .
ㅤ
『I’ll make it muddy, make it mushy, and defile it. . . . . .!』
