Pretending to Be Human: Episode 001
0.
I knew all too well how burdensome it was to survive in the human world as a member of the Demon Clan.
After all, the Demon Clan was an evil that ought to be eradicated.
So I had done everything in my power to live a long, delicate life as a proper human—as befitted a Princess.
“It’s alright, Deina. Anyone who suspects you, we’ll dispose of them.”
But all manner of adversities began to arrive, each one disrupting my virtuous performance as a human.
“Wait, wait just a moment.”
I forced myself to remain calm and fixed my gaze upon the Dark-haired Man, who was about to commit an absurdity. He tilted his head in confusion at my objection.
“Put that down.”
“What?”
“That dagger you’re pressing against the Emperor’s throat.”
The man then furrowed his brow as if questioning what the problem was.
“Don’t worry. No one will ever know. Because this place is a perfect sealed chamber.”
As if affirming his words, a familiar voice reached me from behind.
“That’s right, Princess! I’ve confirmed it. For the next hour, no one will come to this place!”
It was my most trusted Maid. She had somehow breached the Imperial Palace’s formidable security alone and selected the perfect moment for assassination.
Then the Masked Person standing beside the Dark-haired Man added their voice.
“There won’t be a trace left behind. I’m here, after all. I’ll manipulate the scene perfectly so that no one suspects a thing.”
As if refusing to be outdone, the Robed Woman who had been watching from the window called out in a sharp voice.
“I don’t need your help! If we’re about to be discovered, I’ll just obliterate everything with the explosive incantations I’ve laid throughout this room!”
‘So she’s planted time-bomb spells in the Emperor’s Bedchamber?’
I lifted my head without thinking. I wished I could see the vast night sky, but the oppressive darkness of the ceiling only weighed upon my spirit.
‘This is strange. Isn’t it supposed to be that overcoming hardship makes one a virtuous human?’
Why have these people I saved become hardship itself?
No one answered my question.
Regardless, the four people who claimed I had saved them pointed at the Emperor and spoke. This time, the order was reversed.
“Then, Princess!”
“What should we do?”
“We’ll prepare as well!”
“Shall we kill the Emperor?”
I never imagined that I, a Demon, would end up teaching humans the nature of humanity.
