Ch 124 – A Demonic Princess

My name is Sophia Ordo, the Demon King's Daughter, and the princess of all demons.

This might come as a shocker to most, but there are more than nine Reincarnates in the world, because I too, have reincarnated into this world.

Back in my past life which was already hazy from the years I spent in this world of swords and magic, I was simply a normal girl living in the modern age. I had dark circles under my eyes, had a stressful life, and was pretty mediocre overall.

Yet, on one fine day, when I was lying on my bed and scrolling through my phone, a blue tear in the air suddenly appeared in the middle of the room. I don't know what happened next, but a soul-churning pain flashed through my mind and I lost my consciousness. The next thing I knew, I opened my eyes to see a hazy figure seemingly made from wispy shadows.

His silhouette was that of a human, yet a pair of horns can be seen on his head, and a scary aura emanated from his shadow-like body. The first time I met my father, it was suffocating, it was like I was a mere ant to him and his eyes were devoid of any emotion.

After that, I passed out and life went on from there.

I became the princess, learned a shit ton of things, and became a proper ruler who can pretty much take care of an entire kingdom worth of problems, though I did have some aid from the loyal dukes. Not only that, the missing Duke Stolas seemed to have returned, which was exciting as even I have heard my father praise that man.

Anyways, I'm now a princess with op magic powers that stemmed from the special attribute I wield, Order. Basically, I have reality warping, though not at the level my father wielded.

I'm pretty much one of the strongest beings in the world, perhaps I can say that only a few beings in the world can match me in raw power. My mana reservoir is huge, like Z-Rank mage level of huge. I have strong willpower that perhaps stemmed from my reincarnation. Have high talent in most things. And other things that made me appear like a Mary Sue at this point, which wasn't a bad thing really, in fact, I love that fact.

Now, I stood in front of the mirror of the room I'm currently in, looking at my new appearance. I have long black hair, jade white skin, sky blue eyes, pearly white teeth, a kingdom-toppling beauty I truly am, fufufu.

I grinned lightly before I glance at my butler standing in front of the door to the room I was in. We were currently inside Stolas City, due to some businesses I have to deal with and also due to the fact that there were rumors spreading around the entire kingdom about the new technology produced by the Stolas Household called the Akashic System, and the way it was described sounded exactly like the internet and a phone or a computer jammed into one.

"Butler, guard my room, okay? I'll explore around for now and see what this city of the missing Duke Stolas is like."

The butler nodded his head, and I looked towards the window in my room. The sight of a city's lively night was quite surprising, considering the amount of mana needed to have a whole city have its light open.

I snapped my fingers, and my body disappeared. Opening my eyes, I found myself now standing in a random alleyway while a cloak covered my body, it was pretty suspicious but it would do.

Taking in a deep breath, I was surprised at how clean the air was and walked forwards. The city was peaceful and calm, the residents I saw were also starting to look like humans from modern Earth.

They were talking about the latest stories like "I'm a Tree in Another World" or "An Immortal Tale," those stories definitely sounded like light novel titles back from my world, especially the tree one. Not only that, they were talking about the latest fucking 'Metube' videos, literally, METUBE?!

It almost sounded like a sarcastic change to Youtube.

I snorted lightly, almost chuckling from the name, while I absentmindedly explored the city. It was peaceful, and also had a resemblance to modern cities on Earth, a surprising experience it truly was.

But my steps finally halted when I saw a clear lake in the distance, reflecting the full moon from above. Not only that, I heard the voice of a certain person, it was neither that of a man nor a woman, so I can only describe it as androgynous and serene like a lake.

Quietly sneaking forwards, I tippy-toed my way towards the lake, and the voice only got louder and more audible to hear. Until finally, I hid behind some bushes to see 'it'.

A short figure with a shota-like appearance sitting near the lake, along with a floating screen in front of him.

"Fuck you, Honda! You really think the name Metube is stupid?! It's fucking genius, I tell you! Like, Youtube?! Bah, you and tube, that's fucking trash!" the figure shouted while raising his middle finger to the screen.

"Fuck you! I suggested to you something similar to Youtube and now you're telling me it's a bad name?! Heck, you probably wouldn't have even made Metube without my help!"

"Enough about what world has the better tube-like platform. I even almost forgot what I was going to say to you when you started arguing with me about the name. I'm here to tell you that the first batch of anime is going to be released in a couple of weeks once Summer hits. Though it was a bit problematic having to also make a new version for the demons by changing the races of the characters, it's still pretty doable with magic on my hands," the figure said.

W-what did he say?! Anime?! Did he just fucking say anime?! I almost couldn't believe my ears at this point.

"Oho! What manga did you pick from? I'm personally intrigued about what the isekai genre would be like. Though should it even be called isekai at this point and not Otherworld? Also, when are you planning to spread the restricted version of the Akashic System all around the world?" the voice from the screen asked.

"In a couple of months, magic is a pretty volatile thing to play with. Also, what about Kira? Is he doing well?" the figure asked.

Wait, wait, wait. I'm not a stupid fucking character who couldn't understand a thing in the novel. Did he just say he created the Akashic System?! Did he just say he created anime?! Are you telling me, that the person I'm looking at now, created both of those things?!

"He's doing well, his fame is already spreading throughout the central continent. Bella is also doing well too, she's already an S-Rank adventurer. Not only that, Silvy's restaurant is constantly expanding every single day."

"Good, good! I knew my disciple in the art of cooking wouldn't fail, kekeke," the figure laughed.

"Right, you also said to me before that you've already become an archdemon, right? You mind showing me your new look?" the man behind the screen, Honda, asked.

"Sure, sure," the figure responded, before the cloak covering his body disappeared.

Just like that, my mind turned blank from the beauty I saw. Snow white skin, soft pink lips I just wanna kiss, dark purple eyes that made my heart flutter, long raven black hair devoid of light, he really looked like an emo shota!

It was unnerving how beautiful he was, and he only turned hotter when a pair of horns appeared on his soft luscious hair, along with a tail that slid from his back. His teeth became jagged and feisty, while dark purple wings unfurled from his back.

"Holy crap! Wait, wait, wait…" I visible heard the sound of somebody falling down from their chair before the voice behind the screen coughed loudly.

"You look too fucking hot right now, and this time, I'm not joking. I know you can control your body and do weird shit with it, but at this point, I don't know if you're intentionally making yourself look hotter, Lute."

I almost chuckled from how suspicious the person behind the screen was, but Lute? I think I've heard that name before.

"That's the benefit of becoming an archdevil baby! You should see my sister, Via Stolas, I think she'll totally be your type."

Wait… Via Stolas?! Sister?! What, huh, who?

I almost tripped down, my mind is turning into a mess right now. Questions flooded my entire mind, like who is he, when the fuck did Via Stolas got a sister and such.

"Yeah, yeah. Anyways, what does the Sage look like in his true form?" Honda asked.

"Well, he surprisingly looks like a child. Hang on, I'll send you the picture," Lute responded.

Watching them from a far distance, I tried to calm myself down and think this through rationally. First, his full name should be Lute Stolas if his sister is Via Stolas. He presumably created the Akashic System, along with the one who also created anime. His friend, Honda, should also be the one…

Wait, Honda? Like the actual fucking reincarnate Honda Yuuya?! I almost reeled back and shouted in shock. Just imagine this, you were taking a nice stroll in the night, then heard a man shouting in the dark.

You sneak towards the source of the voice, then suddenly see the CEO of a famous company arguing with a person akin to the crown prince of a nation? What would you do then, huh?!

Who am I asking, I'm actually getting insane at this point.

Regaining my bearings, I patted my chest lightly and felt my heart calming down. Okay, first of all, how the fuck do I respond to this? Just 'accidentally' barge in there and say that I'm Sophia Ordo, the daughter of the Demon King?

No, that wouldn't work, who would believe a random girl that they're actually the princess of an entire kingdom?

Wait, since when did the Stolas Household even have a member like Lute Stolas? Didn't Aldrich Stolas' wife die already? Then… An illegitimate son?! No, it wouldn't be a problem for a man like Aldrich Stolas to take in an illegitimate son.

Not only that, it seems like Lute Stolas wasn't a part of the Stolas family to begin with, and sounds like he joined it later on in his life. But how is he friends with Honda Yuuya, it even seems like he was actually a human!

But, he is clearly an archdevil! What's actually happening right now?!

Think, Sophia, think!

"Must be nice being an archdevil, huh? Just before, you were a C-Rank Mage with a dark gray soul, now look at you, a Z-Rank Mage and also an Archdevil? A part of a Duke's Family after being adopted by the Sage? I'd almost say you're the main character of a novel at this point."

H-H-Holy crap! It all makes sense now!

"Ah!" Crap, I actually shouted… A fucking leaf brushed my fucking leg and now I'm falling down onto the ground. I can already see it, it was like the whole world slowed down for me to see the look of surprise from the person named Lute Stolas.

*Fwoosh*

Huh? That was the thought that ran through my mind as I felt somebody suddenly hugging my body, stopping me from my fall. I looked up and saw a pair of sparkling dark purple gems greeting my eyes, it was truly a mesmerizing experience.

"Um… Are you okay, miss?"

His voice was soft, almost hypnotic at this point. My face was a blushing mess, while my heart throbbed, butterflies fluttered around in my stomach. I can't think properly as of now, only his face remained in my blank mind.

And so, I spoke out the first thing that came to my mind, the very words that I could piece together after finding out he created the Akashic System and was also a Z-Rank Mage:

"Please be my teacher."

AN: This chapter has 2054 words.

Huh, I'm actually really impressed with this chapter. Just think about it, more than a hundred chapters were written in 3rd POV and now I just randomly went 1st Person and it's still decent! Damn, I knew spending those days writing in 1st Person would pay off one day!

Writing in 1st Person is hard, so I would appreciate if you send me your power stones.
