Chapter 585: To Demon or Not to Demon

“And that, isn’t that Princess Melody too? It is!” people called out from the crowd. “Princess Melody!”

“She’s even cuter than I remember!”

“I want to fuck-I mean marry her!”

“I’d settle for fucking her.”

With an adorable expression even when she tried to look as serious as the situation demanded, Melody could have easily been mistaken for a woodland elf. Flowing bright green hair and a ranger’s outfit in earthly colors. However, instead of a bow she held a tome, pressed to her chest with both of her small hands.

“Stay behind me,” Asuna told her younger sister. “First squad, guard the princess with your lives!”

“Yes, commander!” the group of soldiers shouted in unison. In shining armor, armed with spears and shields, and swords at their hips, they formed a circle around Melody just as Asuna jumped off the roof and proceeded toward the gathering.

The other squads quickly followed Asuna and formed ranks on both sides from her just as people ran up to the princess.

“Princess Asuna, our city is under attack by demons!” the people complained to the princess. They could not reach her through the wall of armored soldiers and could only try to grasp at the air of her radiant presence.

“That big-boob woman has been making foul accusations against the Queen!”

“She’s probably a demon, plotting to seed distrust among us!”

“Asuna, do you know when you sister Julia plans to visit the S.E.C.R.E.T. District again? Asking for a friend.”

“How long have you been standing there?” Flavna asked the approaching princess.

“Long enough,” Asuna answered as she walked through the straight corridor formed by her soldiers.

“Still smaller than your saggy manboobs!”

“Come over here and say that to my face!”

“I just did!”

“I’ll kill you!”

While small fights broke out in the riled up crowds, Neri walked over to Princess Asuna and asked, “I’m sorry, but this will be quicker. I hope you have no objections.”

“Just the mere thought of testing me is punishable,” Asuna said to the twintail wizard.

“Even so... I’m sorry, please hold still,” Neri said and put her hands next to Asuna’s temples. She lightly touched them with two fingers on each side.

Those in close proximity stopped their petty bickering and watched intensely. Their silece spread and more people watched what the magician did to their Princess. Dim light shined at the point of connection while Neri concentrated with closed eyes. This lasted for several seconds. Then the light disappeared, and Neri withdrew her hands.

“Nothing,” Neri said aloud.

“Ha! I knew there was no way she’d be a demon!”

“Then... Does that mean...”

“The big boob woman is a demon!”

“And a liar!”

“And a traitor!”

“Asuna, get her!!”
