Undead Seeks Warmth

[My ~ , has Takahina already left?]

[... Yes, your majesty. Just a moment ago, he departed.] 

Stella came out from somewhere underneath Mariette who was lazing around like always inside the throne room.

Her expression when she bowed to Marrieta was expressionless just like always.

But the tip of her eyebrow dropped a little bit.

[You look really regretful about the fact that he has gone away, you know? Perhaps, you really have fallen for him?]

[!?, Ple, please stop with the jokes ... I am maid after all, there"s no way I would do such things.]

[Being a maid have nothing to with it, right?]

Marietta laughing while looking as if she has found something interesting.

She was totally on teasing mood.

[Ain"t it just fine ~, falling in love is one of the characteristic that succubus have, right? Though it never crossed my mind that someone as serious and inflexible as you would fall into that rule, you know ~] 

[Tha, that"s wrong.] 

[Your wordings have become funny, you know.] (TL : stella said "chigaimasu nodesu" , masu = desu ... so it"s like she said, desu desu )

Though Marrieta was pleased with her maid which was someone who can be called a super woman, but she always thought that the only part where she didn"t like is Stella’s quality of [she cannot be make fun of]. 

And now, her appearance while shaking her head frantically in denial even when her face is totally red, was interesting to watch.

It really tickled Marrieta"s sadism heart.

[Come ~ come ~ go say it ~. Love love, i loooove ~ Takahina ~ ~, come on!] 

[.... ukh.]

[Falling in love for the person she gave her virginity to, Stella is really a naive little girl~] 

[.... uh .... ukkh.] 

Her usual white skin that as white as snow, slowly became redder.

Though they already knew each other for quite a long time, but it"s the first time Marrieta see Stella looking like this.

Without even hiding her full-blown smile on her face, Marrieta continued to tease Stella.

[If you really loved him that much, you could just stop him you know, for 100 years.]

[Li, li .... likye, Like I said, it"s not that.]

[How about you see yourself in the mirror? your face is red beet, you know.]

[~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ukh !]

Stella was in total chaos that made Marrieta wanted to say, "Where did your usual ignoring skill go, huh?". The result of Marrieta’s over teasing even when she knew that perhaps Stella was already reaching her limits but still did not stop her from continuously teasing her.

[St, sto, sto ...... stop it!]

A smack.

[It"s hurts.... It’s swelling ...]

[You reap what you sow.]

With a big b.u.mp that swell on her head, Marrieta sink into the throne.

Since marrieta was the queen, it made Stella thought that the future of their race will not be long.

[You"re cruel, Stella! I will fire you, you know! Fire you!]

[I am grateful for all this time serving you.]

[Don"t go ~!?]

Marrieta desperately cling to the maid"s leg that started to walk away without a hint of regret on her face. 

[Alright, alright, I"ll make use of my special plan, so please stay, Stella!] 

[Her majesty"s special plan, huh? At most it’s worth 20 points.]

[You"re cruel!] 

Even while shouting, Marrieta again threw herself down to the thrown, and then Stella stood by her side.

As they both took the proper place where they should be, *fwip* she looked up to Stella and then said.

[Stella, If I remember correctly, Takahina was searching for magical items, right?]

[Yeah, that"s true. Though he acts as if he is not just collecting them, but he is searching them as specific magical items] 

[Anything is fine. In other words, at a place where a magical item exist, Takahina will be there too, right?]

[Haah .... ?] 

Not knowing what Marrieta was saying, Stella tilted her head.

[Then, if we gathered all the magic items, then Takahina will come here again] 

[... ... !] 

[Then if he wanted the items, we will get ourselves great pleasure ... It"s perfect, right!? This plan. It"s totally perfect!]

A scene where a person who was able to praise at her own plan as natural as this, made one thinking that Marrieta was amazing in her own way.

As expected of queen Lilith.

Marietta snickered, then stood up from her throne.

From her sakura coloured eyes, emitted an alluring light.

[Then, let"s go. I have an idea where the magic item is located] 

[... Yes, your majesty] 

Stella bowed, and followed after Marietta .

and then queen Lilith and her attendant, set foot into the world of the day.

The place where they went was a small city at Shaldia, its name was [Arbarto].
