When Gurl had enough, he glared at Cass and threatened, "If you're proven to be a demon then I'll personally kill you!", before stepping out of the prison.
However, to Gurl's threat, Cass only laughed harder...
Minutes have gone passed after Gurl walked out. The two slowly settled down while holding their stomach.
Cass who still had the trace of laughter on his face, asked, "You always getting bullied by that girly?"
Carl was sitting now and leaning on the wall replied, "Yeah but it felt like I was paying him for his performance."
"Hmmm… my head hurts from laughing so I'm going to sleep. Just wake me up when it's my turn.", Cass was already lying on the cold floor and closed his eyes.
"… Sure…"
Hours passed and the sun long had hidden behind the horizon.
"Hey! Hey! Wake up!", Carl kept kicking Cass lightly.
Cass woke up and tightly close his eyes before slowly opening it. When he opened them, he immediately saw two figure staring at him, these two were inside the cell. One was Carl whose face was a bit red, not because of his bulging cheek that was punched. The second was a cute brown-haired girl, her hair was divided into two and was tied down. Also, she was wearing maid clothes with a miniskirt and thigh-high socks.
'Maid!', Cass' mind immediately woke up completely along with his eyes.
The maid blankly stared at him.
Cass stood up and asked, "Who's this?", he pointed at the maid.
"Shhh!! Don't be so rude!", Carl slapped Cass' finger while panicking and looked at Cass like an idiot, "This is the Holy Queen's personal maid."
Carl then turned to the maid and apologized politely.
The maid gently raised her palm, "It's okay, I'm just a maid and I need to be humble.", the maid said haughtily while making no expression while she stared Cass in his eyes.
"And?", Cass just ignored this irony.
"We have received reports, saying that you are a hundred percent sure a demon."
"???", Cass raised an eyebrow, 'How? And who would say that? Is there someone who has a grudge on this person before I became him?'
"The report said that you're manipulative"
'Manipulative?'
"Obnoxious"
'Hmm, wait."
"And finally, you are a demon who would drink other's water."
'....', Cass looked at Carl with a blank face.
"Eh?", Carl frantically looked at the two with a stupid face and then awkwardly laughed, "Maybe I did report something like that when my emotions got over me…"
Cass could only sigh over him.
"Wait! But that was your fault in the beginning!", Carl pointed his finger to Cass, trying to defend himself.
"Don't let the Holy Queen wait any longer.", the maid turned around walked, "Follow me."
"Huh? The Holy Queen? Why is the Hole Queen waiting?", Carl's mouth was wide open.
Cass ignored him and followed the little maid who's two heads shorter than him. The maid went deeper into the hallway.
The maid passed by torches after torches while being followed by Cass. After a minute of walking, Cass suddenly asked, "Is the Holy Queen the one who's going to question me?"
"Yes", the maid calmly answered, "But don't misunderstand anything. The Holy Queen just got interested in your mouth."
"My mouth?"
The maid nodded, "Based on the reports, you manipulated the soldiers. They were sure to faint if you didn't just stop and slept."
'Manipulative… but I just said some words that would annoy them to know their aggression towards me.', but Cass only kept it to his head, "What piqued her interest about that?"
"My Queen is just bored, that's all.", after the maid said that, they turned right. After just a few more steps, they reached two doors opposite to one another. On the left side, the door looked more luxurious, bigger and was elevated by three-stepped stairs and on the right side, the door was just a normal wooden door.
The maid faced Cass and suddenly, she grabbed the collar on his shirt. Her eyes became eerie as they looked upon Cass' confused eyes.
"Later, you will see the most beautiful, most magnificent, most innocent, and purest being in the whole world.", her voice became devil whispers, "If you ever have even a single impure thought about the pure Holy Queen, I can easily detach your head from your body."
"You know that your threats will not work when you're that cute, right?", Cass indifferently said as if the maid did not say a single thing.
The maid squinted her eyes in response.
"And how will you know if I ever have an impure thought?"
"It will definitely show on your expression because even the figure of the Holy Queen alone, no one can stand before her and not kneel."
"Okay, okay. Let go of me or I'll have impure thoughts about you first."
The maid only sighed, let go of Cass, and faced the door on the right side.
Cass followed and looked at the right door, 'That's unexpected. I would see the female protagonist of this book earlier than expected. I will later see this pure and innocent Holy Queen that everyone worships.'
The maid took a step and slowly opened the wooden door, "Come in", the maid invited facing Cass and straightly entered the dark room.
Cass then followed without hesitation. He entered the room without any lights. One would become blind in this darkness after the door suddenly closed. The maid was nowhere to be seen in the darkness.
Cass cautiously walked a few steps and suddenly, a spotlight fell on a chair and a desk with a strange crystal sphere as large as a bowling ball on top of it appeared in front of him. The mysterious spotlight only showed the chair and the desk, the surrounding were still covered in the darkness. It looked like that it was the only things in this infinite abyss.
"Sit", the voice of the maid came out of the darkness.
Cass didn't ask anything and kept his cool like always, he then sat on the chair. It was quite comfy after lying on the cold floor for hours.
After a few moments of silence, a voice suddenly appeared in the dark and echoed loudly like she was using a microphone, "Ladies and gentlemen! BEHOLD THEEE HOLY QUEEN!!", a beat suddenly dropped along with an appearance of another spotlight far in front of Cass.
Underneath this spotlight, a girl stood with her beauty that could only compare to a goddess. Her pose was showing her position in the world as her chin was tilted upwards a little, staring down at Cass with the most enticing eyes in the world that shines and a smile that worth more than a million golds.
She walked and every step was accompanied by the strange beat. Cass felt like he was watching model in a fashion show but in a whole different league.
The way she walked can make anyone lose strength while the spotlight follow. It was graceful and attractive.
The girl had a face of confidence as she placed her left hand on her waist. Her long black coat flutters along with her miniskirt because of a strange wind that is also making her long black hair that has a tied part on the left smoothly waving. The time slowed down in her presence.
When she was about to reach the desk and the chair where Cass sat, time went slower and her right hand combed her hair from the front of her ear to the back. At the same time, a melodious and seductive voice came out of her red lips, "Dalagang Filipina, yeah!"
Cass has no idea what she just said.
Time then went normal again after she said some unknown words and stood in front of the desk with her overbearing pose, opposite to Cass.
"Hmph, mortal! I am the Holy Queen! You may kneel before me!", the Holy Queen domineeringly said...
'This is the Holy Queen? She doesn't look older than me. Her beauty is as just what the book and others have described, actually, she exceeded my expectations….. However, I don't see the innocence and her supposed pureness.', Cass thought but didn't let it show on his face and replied, "No thanks."
The Holy Queen was a bit surprised but her confident smile didn't fade, "Looks like you can hold yourself in front of my otherworldly beauty!", she raised her hand to her side.
Cass' followed the Holy Queen's hand and barely saw the maid who had a serious face in the dark and had puffed red cheeks while blowing her fist. When she saw the Holy Queen's signal, she removed her fist from her mouth and at the same time, the background beat stopped. This time, Cass was truly shocked, 'This girl! She was the one creating that beat with that little mouth of her all along?', his evaluation on the maid skyrocketed after that and praised her in his head. Right after that, he noticed that the maid was holding a long stick and this stick was attached to the spotlight.
Cass could only approve in his head.
