"My King, I am willing to follow you."
"I am the handmaiden who will serve by your side."
"If possible, I hope to receive your eternal favor."
Kiyoura Ena, under pressure, with a gleam in her eyes, slowly looked up at Abel and said:
"So, please allow me to follow you."
She's really direct.
Erica's eyes narrowed slightly as she observed the young girl in front of her, then she sighed softly as she looked at Liliana, who seemed completely bewildered.
It seems...
The King is about to gain another Retainer, and we are about to gain another formidable opponent.
As for Liliana, she's not reliable.
Looking at Kiyoura Ena.
Abel's eyes narrowed slightly, then he asked, "Is this your own idea, or is it someone else's command?"
Kiyoura Ena did not hesitate.
"It's the old man's command, and it's also my own idea. Isn't following the King the duty of us Hime-Miko?"
Abel nodded slightly, then sat up straight, resting his chin on his hands.
"That's a truly different answer."
Abel said calmly, then asked, "Then, if I ordered you to kill the old man who commanded you, what would you do?"
As soon as these words were uttered...
The scene plunged into a deathly silence.
Sweat trickled down Amasu Touma's forehead and along his cheeks.
As a member of the History Compilation Committee, he naturally knew who the 'old man' Kiyoura Ena referred to was.
That was the Heretic God, Susanoo.
Kiyoura Ena, hearing this, revealed a smile: "If it is the King's command, I shall face him with a blade!"
Kiyoura Ena's words were very direct.
She also wanted to test the level of the so-called Heretic God.
Although she had received traditional Miko training since childhood, the wildness in her bones had not diminished in the slightest.
Amasu Touma's back was a little damp at this moment.
Are these words truly something he should be hearing?
"I must say, your answer satisfies me greatly."
Hearing Abel's words, Kiyoura Ena's face showed joy.
"However, I still need to remind you."
Abel leaned back on the sofa again and continued, "I am different from other Kings. My essence is that of a demon, so those who follow me must abandon their human identity and become demons."
"So... are you truly ready?"
Kiyoura Ena's eyes were firm, and she responded without hesitation: "Even if I become a demon, I am willing to follow the King. My human identity is far less important to me than being by the King's side."
Abel's lips curved slightly, revealing a meaningful smile, "Very good. Since you have such resolve, from today onwards, you are my property, my subject, and my Retainer."
"Thank you for the King's permission."
After speaking, Kiyoura Ena bowed her head again.
Beside her, Mariya Yuri looked at Kiyoura Ena, her face showing congratulations, which then turned into disappointment.
Even Kiyoura Ena was accepted; was she still not good enough?
Just as she fell into disappointment...
Abel's voice came.
"Mariya Yuri, are you willing to become my possession?"
Hearing Abel's words, Mariya Yuri's heart trembled slightly.
Had she... had she finally been accepted by the King?
Mariya Yuri came to Kiyoura Ena's side and slowly knelt before Abel.
"My King, I am willing."
Mariya Yuri's voice trembled slightly, her eyes filled with excitement and determination.
"Very good."
Abel nodded in satisfaction, then continued, "From now on, you are all my personal property, my subjects, my Retainers."
Erica and Liliana smiled as they looked at Mariya Yuri.
The King finally accepted her.
Amasu Touma watched this scene and offered his heartfelt blessings to Mariya Yuri.
Perhaps, this outcome wasn't so bad after all.
Since the mission was complete, it was time to take his leave.
"My King, I shall take my leave now."
"You may go."
Hearing Amasu Touma's words, Abel waved his hand.
As he walked out the door, he looked up at the scorching sun in the sky.
What would the future be like?
Who knows?
Overtime, overtime.
With Amasu Touma's departure, the room gradually became lively.
Tony offered his congratulations, "Hahaha, my dear friend, it is truly you! You've gained two more excellent subjects."
Unlike Tony's enthusiasm, Nathan was exceptionally calm, "Hmm, a good Miko."
"Thank you for the compliments, both Kings. Ena still needs to work harder."
"Me too."
Since they were already subjects...
Then the next step was the reincarnation ritual.
"Tony."
"What's wrong, my dear friend?"
"I need you to step out for a moment."
"Huh?"
Before Tony could react, Abel used teleportation magic to send him to the middle of the ocean.
Of course, there was also a small boat and a threaded rod.
Looking at the vanished Tony, Nathan looked at Abel. How many more things did this child have yet to reveal?
However...
"Do I need to leave?"
"Leader Luo, if you wish to watch, then watch. After all, it wouldn't be appropriate if Tony were present."
With that, Abel then looked at Kiyoura Ena and Mariya Yuri, "Next is the demon reincarnation ritual. Are you two ready?"
Saying so, the demon chess board within him appeared, and at the same time, a Bishop piece appeared in his hand.
Sometimes Abel couldn't help but sigh.
Most of his Retainers so far were sponsored by the Knight piece.
Very few could correspond to other pieces.
Neither of them hesitated.
"We are ready."
"Then... Mariya Yuri, take off your clothes."
Mariya Yuri was slightly stunned at the words, then instantly flushed, her face turning red. Kiyoura Ena beside her was also momentarily taken aback.
As for Nathan...
Nathan raised an eyebrow with interest, seemingly finding the scene quite amusing.
She was also curious about the transformation that would follow.
Kiyoura Ena quickly reacted.
Would she... would she also have to do this later? With so many people... it wouldn't be very good.
But Mariya Yuri didn't hesitate at all.
Her Miko attire slid straight to the ground.
Abel raised an eyebrow. Mariya Yuri's figure was unexpectedly quite good.
Mariya Yuri slowly walked towards Abel, then sat on his lap.
"My King, come."
It was truly tempting, but as a high-level player, he still had this much self-control. But who taught her this?
He really had no clue, right, Erica?
The next moment, a cold sensation spread across her chest.
Mariya Yuri closed her eyes, not daring to open them, and under the gaze of Kiyoura Ena and Nathan, a chess piece slowly merged into her body.
Is this the reincarnation ritual? It's quite unique.
As the chess piece fully merged...
Mariya Yuri couldn't help but let out a soft "ooh."
Immediately after, a surge of power coursed through her body.
A feeling of pleasure permeated her entire being. Is this... is this reincarnation?
Soon, a pair of wings grew from her back, along with a tail.
