"Blegh, spit! I think I am getting sick again," I said, annoyed, ruining the lovey-dovey vibe.
"You."
"Do you want to get bitten?" I said, glaring at Leah.
"No, thank you," Leah muttered, looking away.
"I thought so, so shut it," I said, seeing her shake her head.
"You're quite rude today; you know that." The demon king said this, sounding quite annoyed.
"And? How would you feel about suddenly being in a child's body again? Happy? I don't think so." I said, frustrated.
"You do have a point there." The demon king said, shrugging.0
"So, how are we going to fix this?" I said, gesturing to my child-like body.
"Only time will tell." The demon king said, shrugging.
"Hey, I am not waiting another 10 years before I finish growing," I said, annoyed.
"No, don't worry. I don't think it will take that long. Maybe in only a few months, you will return to your original size." Leah said, shaking her head.
"I hope you are right. Anyway, what will you do with me now that I am awake?" I asked, not showing any nervousness at all.
"Uuuh, I don't know. I should probably introduce you to the family," Leah said, tilting her head.
"Hmm, just that?"
"Train you, I guess?" The demon king added.
"Training?" I asked questioningly.
"Yeah, your speed can use some work."
"You know my speed is my pride, and you just made it sound like it's shit."
"Uh, I know about 17 people. That is a lot faster than you." The demon king spoke calmly.
"I already dislike you, and you just made it clear that I hate you," I said, not sounding very serious.
"Yes, and we can use the opportunity you've had growing up to strengthen your muscles." He added, ignoring me.
"Strengthen her muscles?" I broke my hand on her head, you know." Lina complained, remembering her broken hand.
"Ah, yes, I know you came crying to me." The demon king said this, smirking at her blushing face.
"Yo, can the lovey-dovey shit not happen right now? I miss Liny enough already. I don't need this as well." I said, annoyed at all three of them.
"Ren, dear, didn't I tell you?" Leah said with a saddened face, annoying me even more.
"Don't finish that," I said, glaring at Leah.
"Sorry, too early," Leah mumbled almost inaudibly.
"Anyways, I am starving for dinner," I said, rubbing my stomach.
Knock knock.
"Your Majesty, dinner is ready to serve. I will also let the princesses and princes know." A female maid spoke from behind the door.
"Now, I guess," I mumbled, smiling at the timing.
"We are on our way, thank you," Leah said, getting up from the couch.
"Ah, Ren, please behave before the other kids and family members." The demon king said this, looking at me worriedly.
"I will try being civil with them," I said, shrugging.
"Sigh, there is no hope." He said this, shaking his head.
"Yes, there is none," I said, jumping off the couch only to trip on my clothes and make my face plant on the floor.
"You need clothes, though," Lina said, looking down at me.
"No sh*t," I said, looking up at her.
"Leah, I think Karl's clothes will fit her fine," Lina said, looking at Leah.
"true. I will go get some clothes."
"Jeans, please, and a loose T-shirt if you can," I said when she left.
"You are quite picky," Lina said, making me glare at her.
"Haha, I am a child. What can you do?" I said it smugly while smirking at her.
"That you are, yes. Now come, let's get to your room so you can change." Lina said, stretching out her hand.
"Just making it clear. I am only holding your hand so that I don't fall." I said, grumbling and holding her hand.
"Haha, see you at dinner, dear," Lina said, looking back at Uwe, grabbing my hand firmly, and smiling.
"Yes, of course; don't take too long, though." The demon Ling said, waking out of the room.
"Grrr, can we just get on with it?" I said, annoyed.
'Now that I think about it, I never looked at Leah and Lina.' I thought. Looking up at Lina, I took a good look for the first time.
She looked like a 10-star model, and I wasn't exaggerating. Even by human standards, she was gorgeous. She had a small stature, not passing the 1.6-metre mark. A small face with big, yellow eyes. Her body was also a 10 out of 10. It was just that her boobs were on the smaller side. If it weren't for the small scales on her neck and the two little horns poking out of her white hair, I would have thought she was human.
"You know you're quite a beautiful woman, Lina," I said. Only after I said it did I realise what I said. "Oops."
"Hmm, I know you are into girls and all, but I am married," Lina said, stopping to walk and looking down at me.
"It's not like that. This is the first time I looked at you, you know. And I still have someone I love." I said, looking at her thoughtfully.
"Oh, that's true. Sorry, I guess I was reading too much into it."
"Yeah, but seeing your reaction, I bet there are a lot of people still trying to win you over," I said, a bit baffled that something like that was still happening.
"Sigh, yeah, it's so annoying."
"Even though you are married and have kids already, why don't you just cut off their dicks?" I said it without any hesitation.
"You are evil," Lina said, looking at me weirdly.
"No, I am just possessive."
"Possessive? Don't tell me you did it to guys that like your girl."
"I might have done it to some of them, but I wasn't that bad; she did the same, if not worse, to the guys who asked me out."
"What can be worse than getting your genitals cut off?"
"Liny power is discrimination." She can undo it, too," I said with a heavy face.
"... that..."
"Yeah, after I taught her how to do that, she became a proper monster."
"You taught her?"
"Yeah, it took a few months, though," I said thoughtfully.
"That's interesting. So, are you a good teacher?"
"Hmm, I don't know. Do you know someone by the name of Liny Ronels?"
"Hmm, I have heard of her. She whipped out a few elite squads during the war, but that's all I know. I never really looked into her."
"Okay, what about Josh Daniels?"
"That mad swordsman. He was a tower on his own, I have heard."
"Huh, okay, last one, Selena, better known as the saintess," I said just by saying her name and title. I could feel the atmosphere change with Lina.
"Now that name I know a lot about. And she is a cheat, I tell you, a total cheat." Lina said, annoyed and pumping her fist.
"Haha, that she is, that she is," I said, laughing and nodding in agreement.
She is called a saintess because she has SSS-ranking healing powers. Thanks to me, she can do it in a rage of 500 m around her to perfection.
"That woman is the worst. If anyone is within 500 metres of her, they are immortal. No matter what we did, we could never kill her. We did once get her alone, but apparently. She disappeared in front of everyone." Lina said it with venom.
"Haha, I remember that. About 13 people surrounded her. She was so in a panic when that happened. She might have awesome healing ability, but she has two huge flaws that make her easy to deal with." I said, laughing.
"She does?"
'Well, yes, she can't use it on herself, and she can't use it properly when moving. Not that I am ever going to tell anyone about that. I don't think even the government knew about the first one.' I thought, smiling at Lina.
"Ah, not going to tel, huh. Not that I blame you. Anyway, why did you ask if I knew about them?"
"Well, I trained all three of them."
"So not only are you someone who killed thousands of our soldiers, but also one who made three other people able to do the same."
"Yeah, pretty much, I guess. Although Selena and Liny would have gotten to that level anyway, I just pushed them faster." I said, shrugging.
"Is that so? Are any of them stronger than you?"
"No, Selena, I could kill even if she had backup. The reason I know about her flaws is. Josh, I could do with my eyes closed, and Liny, I will only be able to draw against her." I explained it seriously.
"Hmm, the first one makes sense, but the second one. Is he really that weak?"
"No weak per se, just dumb," I said, hesitant.
"Elaborate, please."
"He works on instinct alone, and it is easy to fool someone's instincts."
"Not always, though."
"True, not always like the demon king. I won't be able to do that at all. He has too much experience for that anyway."
"True, true. Now, for the last one, why only draw? Is it because it's your lover?"
"No, I am being serious. There is no way I could kill her and survive the aftermath."
"Hmm, is that so?"
"Yeah, we did a dual once, trying to kill each other. Selena was there to make sure we didn't die. We fought for 3 days but still couldn't get a victor out." I said, shrugging.
"After three days, how did your body look?"
"Huh, that's a weird question. I lost my right arm with a lot of blood loss, and she lost her left leg and left arm as well."
"So, in a way, you won?"
"No, if I lose one of my legs, I am pretty much useless. Thank God that my body is stronger than normal. You don't know how many people have tried to cut my legs off." I said, shaking my head.
"Oh, you guys are here finally." Leah suddenly said,
