Prologue
The Land of Demons was a silver landscape, as far as the eye could see.
It had snowed every day since I arrived here two weeks ago. The temperature remained below freezing, and the snow piled up more and more each day. But it wasn’t just this climate I had to get used to. My baby sister had been born on the ship from Gladrom, and she had been given a name by King Lusemia.
Aurora.
When I asked King Lusemia why she had chosen it, she said that she wanted the child to be “as beautiful and full of wonder as an aurora, in both mind and body.”
“Aurora,” I whispered to myself. It was a good name.
Aurora was in front of me, feeding from Iona’s breast. She only had a thin layer of hair on her head, but it was the same beautiful golden hue as her mother’s. She also had Iona’s dark blue eyes. I was sure that she would grow up to be just as beautiful.
“Raul,” Iona said, “she’s so strong. Even her suckling.”
“Strong...just like her father,” I said, thinking of Gram. “If I had died, I would never have gotten to meet her.”
“I’m so glad we could.”
I truly believed that Aurora was strong. She had clung to life inside Iona through all the battles we had faced.
“And I’m thankful that I have lived to see you have your child and care for her,” Maria said as she went to and fro, fussing over Iona.
“I was only able to make it here with your support, Maria,” Iona said.
The fireplace crackled as it warmed everyone.
“It really is cold here,” I said to Iona.
“Truly. I suppose this is the northernmost nation.”
“Why do the demons want to live in a place like this?”
“Did you not learn that in your lessons with Magister Morris?”
“Learn what?”
“Humans and demons have never been able to coexist, not after the war between them two thousand years ago. No matter how strong the demons were, the humans won with the advantage of overwhelming numbers,” Iona explained as she continued to feed Aurora, “On top of that, the humans had thoroughly researched the demons’ magic and trained their swordsmen against it. The demons would be slain before they could even use their magic.”
“Such monstrous humans, just like those knights we faced in Gladrom.”
That included the ones that Sharmilia had used to make the high ghoul who now served me.
“As the situation grew worse, the demons asked for peace. But they were refused. There were human supremacists among the human leadership, particularly those from the church.”
“Human supremacists?”
“They believe that a human’s life is worth more than a demon’s. With their faith in God, they see demons as inferior beings.”
“I see. Discrimination...”
It seemed there would always be discrimination, no matter the world. Well, that explained why I had never seen a single demon when we lived in Eucrit. There had been Therians living in Sanaria, but that was due to Gram’s love of all people and Iona’s position as a daughter of high-ranking nobility, which afforded them more protection.
“The demons were persecuted and fled north, making this land their home. That’s about all I know about that period of history.”
“After hearing all that, I’m surprised King Lusemia allowed us to come here,” I said.
“That’s because your father is Galdzin. He has a lot of influence over her.”
“I feel like I heard very little about demons when we lived in Sanaria.”
“There’s something more innocent about demons. Take the ogres for example. And King Lusemia—she’s almost childlike.”
“You’re right. All of them live in a way that’s simple yet true to themselves.”
The image that we now held of the demons was quite different from how human history had painted them. What I had learned since meeting them was that they were almost innocent in nature, caring, and carried a deep kindness. And within that, I felt like I could understand how they had been defeated by humans. Humans were shrewd and would scheme their way to victory. It was human nature to do anything to win.
Iona continued. “Humans will not take in refugee demons. Instead, some even go out into remote areas to hunt them down. For the demons themselves, it must seem like they are being hunted for no reason at all.”
But there was some sense in it. Humans saw demons as monsters, and many of them were scared of them instinctively. Even so, that was no reason to hunt them down and kill them indiscriminately.
“But in the war that engulfed Eucrit, humans were massacring other humans. Why?” I asked.
“That is something I don’t know.”
The world of my previous life had been through brutal wars and atrocities of its own. The war in Eucrit had been equally incomprehensible. By killing every noble and soldier, who would even be left to administer the conquered territory?
“Well, this isn’t something we need to speak of now,” Iona said, looking down at Aurora, who had fallen asleep.
“I suppose you’re right.”
Just then, there was a loud knock on the door.
“Come in,” I called out.
The door opened to reveal Sharmilia. She closed it behind her as she entered.
“What do you need?” I asked her.
“The bath has been prepared, master.”
“Oh, then I’ll go last.”
“No, Lord Galdzin requested that you come to bathe with him.”
“He did? All right, I’ll head there now.”
I said goodbye to Iona and Maria, then followed Sharmilia to the bath.
“Is he already in there?”
“Yes, he’s already gotten into the bath.”
I took off my clothes and entered the bathroom. Though I couldn’t see through the steam, I could sense that someone was already there.
“Is that you, Algarde?” said a voice from within the steam. “Come on in.”
“Yes, father.”
Galdzin was the one who had spoken, but there was also someone else with him. To my surprise, it was King Lusemia.
“U-Uh, Sharmilia?!” I said in a high pitch. “You didn’t tell me Her Majesty was here too!”
I turned to glare at Sharmilia but was met with another shocking sight. Sharmilia was standing there, completely naked.
“Wait, what?! Why are you naked too?! Oh...are you getting in?”
“Ah, yes, but I’ll get out right away! I apologize for my rudeness!” Sharmilia said, a blush blooming across her pale face. She quickly turned to leave the room.
“Hey now, Sharmilia! I’m the one who called you here,” Lusemia said. “You can’t just leave because you want to! Al, you’re the one who’s being rude. Of course she’s naked! Who takes a bath with their clothes on?”
“Ah, y-you’re right. Sharmilia, it’s okay. I don’t mind if you get in.”
“Thank you, my master. Please forgive me for joining you.”
“Sharmilia’s taken with you, Algarde. Why not let her bathe with you?” Lusemia asked with a huff.
“It’s not that I’m against it, Your Majesty. It’s just...” I said, embarrassed.
So the four of us were bathing together. I supposed this was just another form of the demons’ innocence, as Iona called it.
“No need to be shy, Algarde. I’m sure you’ve seen a naked body before,” Galdzin said. Though he was blind, he seemed to be able to sense my embarrassment.
“I’ve bathed with Iona and Maria before...but it’s not like I’m used to it.”
“Surely you must be seeing something wonderful right now.”
“Yes... Yes, I certainly am...” I said, my face bright red.
Galdzin laughed. “Good, good!”
What’s good?! Father, I’m still just a child! I’m only nine years old! Does he understand that?
I decided to change the direction of the conversation. “Father, how have you been feeling?”
“Hmm...”
It appeared that wasn’t something he wished to talk about.
Lusemia spoke in his place. “As it stands, his eyesight may never return. As for his body, it will likely take quite some time to recover. Just leave that to me.”
“Then his body can be healed?”
“It can, though I’ll need to be with him at all times.”
I see... It’s not fair that she can’t even take time off without his health deteriorating so significantly. How terrible, to have been poisoned like this! It’s infuriating!
But Galdzin smiled. “Algarde... What a blessing that we’ve been able to reunite like this. Your mother must be smiling upon us from the afterlife.”
“I wish I could’ve met her, even just once.”
“I do too. She passed away right after giving birth to you.”
“She died...because of me?”
“That is not so. It’s a risk for a human to give birth to a demon child. If anything, the responsibility lies with me,” Galdzin said sadly.
“It’s just as Gald says. I would guess that your mother was happy just knowing that you were able to be born,” Lusemia said.
“Do you really...
