Author's Note: Some of you may have called this but a certain unnamed group seems to be causing problems. I wonder who it could possibly be... Also damn Rose is a badass! Hope the Prince is okay...
[collapse]
[Introducing his royal highness Arlen de la Anguis and the Lady Rose de la Amchier!] - Announcer Dude
Stepping forward Arlen pulled me along with him while the partygoers glanced at us with curiosity. Frozen with fear I blankly allowed the Prince to lead me down the stairs into the general crowd for one on one greetings without resistance. Cutting us off as we did so was a very fat human man with two slightly less fat henchmen behind him.
[Why if it isn't the Prince of Flames Arlen, I've heard that you finally reached the top 100 rank at the Academy. Seems you inherited your father's ability as well as his good looks.] - Fat Nobleman?
[It's a pleasure to see you Duke Harris, are you here to visit your son? I heard he's been having some problems with the curriculum recently and could use some help. I'd be happy to tutor him if you want.] - Arlen
[.....tch! Well putting that aside why don't you introduce me to your young companion here, I believe this is the first of our little get togethers she's attended.] - Duke Harris
[This is my cousin Rose de la Amchier, she just joined the 1st years actually. Since I was unable to find a date for this esteemed event I asked her to join me as a stand-in as she hasn't had a chance to meet anyone of "your" stature before.] - Arlen
As I looked back and forth between the two of them while they were slinging verbal attacks at each other the Prince squeezed my hand slightly and after a few seconds I realized that he was hinting at me to introduce myself.
[Oh! Uh, it is an honor to meet such esteemed personage as yourself, this one is Rose de la Amchier of the Amchier Vineyards. Perhaps we have had the honor of our family's wine being purchased by your esteemed self?] - Rose
Disgusted with my blatant kissassing I didn't think the Duke bought it for a second but after exchanging meaningless pleasantries for a little longer he and his henchmen left while grumbling to themselves. Breathing a sigh of relief I felt my hand get squeezed again and glanced up at the Prince.
[Good job at dealing with him, a more unpleasant human I've never met. Be careful with his kid though as his family has known dealings with the Church of Light.] - Arlen
My eye's widening I attempted to ask more about that but was interrupted by the sultry voice of another partygoer. I turned to see a fox-eared milf around 40 years old with the largest breasts I'd ever seen outside of my Aunt. My eyes as well as every eye in the room was drawn to them, especially with her dress that left little to the imagination.
[Ahh "little boy" how wonderful to see you here, you've met my husband, Herald, of course. Now who is this pretty young thing?] - Fox-Eared Milf?
[Oh Baroness Milsett it's wonderful to see you well! I actually have the pleasure of having my cousin accompany me, my own plans fell through you see.] - Arlen
[It is a pleasure to meet you Baroness Milsett? I am Rose of the Amchier family.] - Rose
Taking the Prince's comment as a cue to introduce myself I greeted the Baroness with a more relaxed air than the Duke. Nodding to herself as if she approved Baroness Milsett circled me while stepping over my tail and lightly grabbed my butt.
[Kyah! Umm, excuse me!] - Rose
[Oho! Childbearing hips on this one! Good catch "little boy", she'll make a fine wife.] - Milsett
[I'm afraid you misunderstand Baroness Milsett, my cousin is only accompanying me tonight because of my failure to procure another date. And I'd appreciate it if you don't try and corrupt her to "your" ways.] - Arlen
[Ara Ara the "little boy" is much more confident now than when I first met him, I might have to start calling you by name soon. Now come Herald, you useless clod, let us go and pester the good Duke. He deserves a little misery every now and then. Ohohohoho!] - Milsett
The Baroness winked at the Prince before leaving, giving every indication that she didn't believe a word of his excuse. Hiding as much as I could behind the Prince I watched her leave like a scared animal. Something told me that she was the type to suck men, and women, dry and leave them hanging afterwards.
[Hah... I've never been good with dealing with that woman. Too... aggressive.] - Arlen
[She is a bit... forward. Ah and thank you for covering for me with your story. You didn't have to do that.] - Rose
[Heh! Don't worry about it, I don't particularly like my Mother sticking her nose into my business as it is. Especially with something as important as who I want to spend my life with. N-Not that I'm against you personally t-though... Uhh.... L-Let's move on.] - Arlen
Nodding my head while blushing at his comment we proceeded to greet each of the various important figures present at the party I found myself loosing track of the myriad of names and faces of which only a few stood out. The next hour was much of the same with a multitude of different nobles and important merchants with differing friendliness to the Prince. After several dozen of these greetings I found myself guided to a table around the edge of the party as the Prince smiled at my exhausted face.
[Why don't we take a small break? I'll go get us some drinks and hors d'oeuvres, do you have any requests?] - Arlen
[No alcohol...] - Rose
While it was perfectly fine in this world to consume wine as young as 5 years old I didn't want my first sip of alcohol to be at an event like this. Nodding the Prince set off after reassuring me he'd be back soon.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[So the Prince huh?] - Young Female
[I'm sorry, have we met miss...?] - Rose
Glancing up from my wringing hands at the person addressing me I saw a young lizardman? woman smiling bitterly down at me in the chair. Taking the chair opposite of me she sat down before answering.
[Ah yes I'm Samantha, just Samantha, my father owns a large mercantile company.] - Samantha
[Well it is nice to meet you Samantha, I apologize for not standing up to greet you but I'm currently resting my tail. May I ask what brought you over to greet me?] - Rose
[Oh I was just wondering if you and the Prince were....] - Samantha
Staring at her for a few seconds while blinking I finally got what she was asking and raised my hands in front of me in denial.
[No no! I'm just accompanying my cousin since I haven't attended a social gathering yet. He was kind enough to allow me his arm for the night.] - Rose
[Uh huh... Then I'm sure you won't mind if I take a stab at him. Since your not anything more than his "cousin" afterall.] - Samantha
[Ahh! I... umm...] - Rose
Standing as if to leave into the crowd I moved my hand slightly to stop her before pulling it back. She gave me a disgusted look before disappearing into a group of partygoers.
I continued sitting in my seat while thinking of why I'd tried stopping her.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Did I keep you waiting for long? I brought us a couple of drinks and a plate of food.] - Arlen
[Ahh! Yes! I mean no! I wasn't waiting long.] - Rose
[Hmm...? Are you still feeling tired? We've basically finished greeting everyone so if you're not feeling up to it we can leave.] - Arlen
Setting down the two glasses as well as the plate he was balancing on his arm he pressed the back of his hand against my forehead as if to check my temperature. Backing away from him quickly with a blush on my face I nearly fell off my chair as my tail caught the table and dragged it with me.
[A-Ah! I'm fine, I was just lost in thought nothing is...] - Rose
My explanation was cut off though as the light bell-like noise of someone ringing a glass cup rang through the room. Standing in front of the group was the Duke from earlier, his henchmen nowhere to be seen.
[I'd like to call everyone's attention, I propose a toast to the Prince Arlen de la Anguis and his lovely companion Lady Rose. To snipping rivalries before they can sprout!] - Duke Harris
As if that was their cue suddenly several unsavory looking humans rushed in from the various doors around the event, swords and axe's in hand. Arlen went to grab for his sword only to realize that it wasn't at his waist as it was a party and was considered improper to have a weapon present among mixed-race parties.
Within seconds all the partygoers were rounded up into a circle in the middle of the room as I was pulled in front of the Duke.
[Hee hee hee! I was told to retrieve you intact but looking at you I might have to sample the goods before turning you over!] - Duke Harris
[Hii! D-Don't touch me! If you do I'll...!] - Rose
[You'll do what little girl, even with that tail you can't save everyone here before I kill them! You do what you're told and I'll let them live...] Duke Harris
[You won't get away with this Harris! You think you can escape after threatening us like this!?!] - Baroness Milsett
[Yeah! Who do you think you are!] - Random Noble
[Touch me and your whole family will be wiped out!] - Arrogant Noble
[Shut it! Unless you want to volunteer as an example! Now what do you say little girl? Will you cooperate?] - Duke Harris
Gulping as I looked at everyone being forced to kneel while surrounded by men with swords I noticed the Prince struggling to move while being held down by 3 gruff looking humans.
[I-I understand I'll go wi.....] - Rose
[Let her go you Bastard! I'll kill you!!!] - Prince
Finally breaking free from the three henchmen holding him down he rushed at the Duke only for Harris to raise one arm lazily. Instantly an arrow pierced through his chest as another hit his right leg, forcing him to fall to the ground once more.
[Did you see that? The mighty and talented Prince Arlen, envy of all, taken down by a weak nobody! Can't even claim that another noble killed him can he!?! He and his arrogant bitch of a mother can go to hell!] - Duke Harris
Kicking the Prince in his wound Arlen cried out in pain while crawling towards me, desperation on his face only for a sword to plunge into his back, pining him to the ground.
[Pathetic! Can't even save his little slut! Lesser Monster Trash!] - Duke Harris
Seeing the Prince coughing up blood I felt my own blood boil. My vision turning red as a voice in my head kept repeating one line. KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL! KILL THEM ALL!!!
Duke Harris, sensing something wrong, looked back at me with fear on his face and an instant later I felt my sanity snap. My eyes turned black as streaks of black fire circled me slowly and I whipped my tail at the henchmen holding my arms behind me feeling his bones turn to dust.
[HOW DARE YOU! HOW DARE....!] - Rose
[Kill the bitch! I'll pay double to the one that brings me her head!] - Duke Harris
The rest of the Duke's henchmen took a step back in fear as the Duke immediately turned tail to run while shouting at the bodyguards to deal with me.
Glancing at the puny humans before me I lazily raised one hand towards a group of them that were charging at me.
[BURN!] - Rose
Instantly a black flame engulfed the entire group at once, killing them instantly. I turned to deal with the rest of the nuisances only to be hit with extreme exhaustion. I dimly heard the sounds of wood shattering and yelling as my vision faded to black.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
With that said I was thinking of doing the first "What's in the World of Miscalis!" extra chapter where I answer any questions about the world our adorable Rose finds herself in. We'll have Rose and her roommate's answer questions about the lore of the world as well as anything about how the world works physically that people send to my inbox. Questions must be submitted before the 23rd and I'll post the extra chapter on the 26th of October. I hope to do a few more of these Q/A extra chapters later on as we get further into the story.
Well...At Least it wasn't the church...didn't want rose to already see how they corrupted her sister
I think in fact they're from church. The fatman said
[Pathetic! Can't even save his little slut! Lesser Monster Trash!] - Duke Harris
Not be mean as i like the story still, but this is so f*cking Cliché, since this normally can happen at least with a f*cking fatso idiot leading them and not a expert
Tis true it is certainly cliche but it was supposed to be.
Totally agree. Although my biggest problem with this is the fact that there is no "freedom of choice" for the MC. This event looks like it's forcing her to put those 2 together. I feel like you are forcing that "relationship" too much. History was losing me a bit with that of "adding" a man to his harem, I thought, maybe when the author does it, he will do it well. But it seems that it will not be like that because of how things go.
Also, come on, mentally she's like 40 years old ... no matter how much you say it's her new body that makes her behave that way, it's 40 years old. To behave like this, to be blushing for nonsense? He had threesomes with Karen... and is she acting like a virgin MC? Technically in that world she is, but come on...
Look, I'm not trying to be the arrogant one here who only complains about "things I don't like" because the narrative is quite good, to the point that I totally loved it. But the things that I have already said, I am sure that I am not the only one who thinks so. I'm going to read a couple more chapters, to keep my rule of giving the benefit of the doubt, and that maybe the following chapters will make me change my mind, but I honestly think that if it stays this way, I'm going to end up quitting. A shame, honestly because in itself, it is a very good story, especially that you tell what happened to Karen and the little sister when the MC died.
Uhhhh I already gave a very passionate biology essay here, so might as well try to give this measly me's opinion:
The prince so far is more of an idea than a character, pretty much all we know from him is that, MC tailslapped him twice, he shoved some hooligans off her and told her to send a mail. I don't even remember whats he supposed to look like or his race since that seems mixed as well sometimes.
I feel it makes no sense for Rose to be flustered over him and going "I felt my own blood boil. My vision turning red as a voice in my head kept repeating one line. KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL! KILL THEM ALL!!!" All over seeing him bleeding, it'd make more sense if she was just disgusted by the bad guy.
Also, she'd only ever have (birthing) hips if the snake bit happened after sge had human legs, my biology brain hurts thinking about the junction of vertebrae, hip, leg bones and somehow vertebrae again. Unless we go back to the snake bit being all tail *shivers*
I don't think I'll have a pregnancy arc personally but regardless I don't think random milf fox woman would know how lamia give birth so we can take her comments with a grain of salt. As for the prince, he's a dragonkin, his father is her uncle
So some important social gathering for higher ups from, i assume, different countries. Some random duke get group of thugs in and treatens to kill them all. After such event i expect to this country to get drown in complaints atleast for allowing such thing to happen.
You’d be right of course, we don’t see too much of the back room deals and political stuff but yes that kind of stuff is happening
That was Rose's Berserk Mode, right?
Thanks for the chapter
Am I the only one who wanted to see Arlen and Milset's reaction when they saw that Rose despite her kind and shy personality is far from being a damsel in distress, especially when her anger passes a certain point?
Now that I've stopped to think about it. Does this world have the concept of "gap moe"?
@Gin0001 Since Japanese keep getting summoned by the church I would assume a lot of Japanese concepts exist
Well she did go berserk so...
I guess thats where the 'demon dragon god' part comes into play. Seems toasty.
Hopefully prince bro is ok. I actually kinda liked him. Not as a romantic interest or anything considering it feels kinda shoehorned and it is technically incest, but otherwise he seemed pretty nice
By the rules of anime and manga if we don’t see someone actually die they’re probably still kicking. Lol
Thanks for the chapter, was a good bit of fun. Also very well named and incredibly shounen powerup just when needed.
Right on time! Is it a MacGuffin? Or a Deus Ex Machina? Lol
@TheMangaGod Well considering macguffin's are items seems more deus ex machina to me
Welp, she just chantless cast right in front of an entire ballroom.
Wasn't she told explicitly not to do that...? Well, I guess she was pissed, but still...
No way that'll come back to bite her... not at all.
@TheMangaGod None of them are stupid enough to risk being in the sights of Rose's wrath and her black flames, especially after seeing this demonstration, right?
I keep reading her name as armchair.
Haha! That’s literally how I remembered it when I first named her. Btdubs it’s Latin. Most of the Lamia names and places are.
This was awesome! When's the next one?
Soon
