Prologue

Those damn things were endless!

One foot in, one foot out, Lilith froze in her movements, her hand refusing to let go of the doorknob. Her gaze was locked on the piles of papers on the desk. Her lips twitched, while her eyes and hands were already aching just at the thoughts of going through these.

A voice was heard behind her, politely asking to enter. Her feet were having a life of their own as they moved to the side to let the other passed, for she really didn’t think of letting more work go in. Nonetheless, she watched quite helplessly as the red-haired man with black horns added a new set of piles on the already full desk, promptly leaving afterward. Another individual directly entered after him, a violet-haired girl with fox ears and a cat’s black tail. The number of papers she brought was even higher. The third person who came was equally polite, saluting his still standing at the entrance superior, before exiting the room. The documents he was carrying had been placed on the floor.

On the floor!

That desk was an enormous one, was she to lie on it, Lilith would still have the place left to put Klar’s horrible handmade vase. The damn thing was half a human’s size. Her mouth twitched. Again.

Hadn’t she just left for an hour, how come upon coming back the tasks to do became as frightening as this? Just when being the Demon Lord did become such a boring thing to do, ah? Ah? Where was the promised thrill, the constant feeling of superiority, the satisfying pleasure procure by others’ fear? Where were they? Could someone step aside and tell her?!

As she was really questioning herself over this fact, the old goat demon, Beel, stood behind her too. As always, wearing clean and neat clothes with intricate design, he was quite a dashing personae who really didn’t let the unnumerable centuries he already lived appear on his face. He, too, was holding in his arms quite a number of document and Lilith felt rooted in the place just by the sight of them.

She really wanted this position no more!

The expressionless high demon’s eyes were quite insistent on her, so she stepped aside to let his enormous standing body passed correctly through the door.

“Those are urgent,” he felt the need to precise even though he put them on the floor, in front of the desk for lack of a better place.

‘Weren’t they all?’ thought Lilith wryly finally stepping inside the dimly lit room and with a wave of her hand, the light shone brighter showing more clearly the insufferable work she had on her plate.

Really such a rhythm of work could actually kill way deadlier than any physical attack! Just where did this idiot Serdoras found the time to accompany her in their bouts with such a hectic schedule! To think that since young she always wanted to become the Demon Lord and had tried more times than she could count to kill him for that!

She wanted this no more!

“Beel” she called the demon who was about to go, “I’m counting on you for the interim!”

“What?-”

But he didn’t have the time to ask that she had already disappeared from sight. The usually expressionless demon goat's face became ugly as he shouted her name.

Far from there, Lilith frowned when she heard the vibrations of that powerful demon in the air. Who cares! She'll be damned if she stayed demon lord one more second. But there was no way that Beel would let her alone now. She gotta find Serdoras and let him take back his throne!

Just where did that enchanted paper she gave him send him again?
