Year 1400 of the Imperial calendar - Shouyo continent - Execution grounds

(Suigintou Arnestianne Graupel POV)

I was transported to a vacant lot far from everything on the outskirts of the city, close to what used to be my domain.

"This time you will not escape" Voice of the crowd A

As usual, people from all dukedoms gathered to celebrate my misfortune.

"Die, villainess!" Voice of the crowd B

While my body is forced to walk forward by a guard and the chain on my neck, the happily angry public throws eggs at me.

"The new kingdom of the saintess doesn't need anything for you!" Voice of the crowd C

I just walk over to the wooden post filled with firewood ready to burn at its surroundings.

"Please walk into it by your own feet to lessen even a little your sins" Priest

"..." Suigintou Arnestianne Graupel

I don't have the strength to get out of this and I don't like to fight unnecessarily.

"I will not give you the satisfaction of dragging me there" Suigintou Arnestianne Graupel

I walk inside the device made to kill me by my own legs.

"God will never forgive you!" Voice of the crowd D

The guard tie my body to the pole with the chain used to bring me here.

"This day, we are all about to witness the punishment of this sinner" Priest

I manage to see the Saintess witnessing this execution from a platform in the distance.

"With the charges of treason and heresy against the most holy figures in this kingdom..." Priest

The jewelry and high-class dress on her show her new position as queen.

"We have no choice but to cleanse the evil of this world by turning it to ashes" Priest

Even though she is in a position of great power, she doesn't seem to be doing anything different from what she was doing before, the bachelors around her only increased.

"Do you have anything to say before we start this purification?" Priest

Something to say?

There is only one thing I can say here to these people.

"I despise everything in this kingdom, from its gullible people to its worthless traditions to its pathetic future" Suigintou Arnestianne Graupel

Everything is worthless in this fake land.

"If this manages to cut my binds to you people, I am happy to oblige" Suigintou Arnestianne Graupel

The crowd enrages.

"Death to the villainess!" Voice of the crowd A

"Death!" Voice of the crowd B

"Death!" Voice of the crowd C

"Death!" Voice of the crowd D

The guard rises a torch.

"Let the will of god be done!" Priest

And the torch starts burning the wood.

"..." Suigintou Arnestianne Graupel

"I cant see this!" Maine Yuna Dusoleil

The Saintess closes her eyes as the fire starts spreading all around me.

"...I hope Shinku is doing well whenever he is..." Suigintou Arnestianne Graupe

The heat starts rising uncontrollably around me

...

The fire covers my whole body.

...

The pole that holds me up gives way when it burns.

..

"..." Suigintou Arnestianne Graupel

But...

"...?" Suigintou Arnestianne Graupel

My body doesn't burn even though I am inside the fire.

"Thanks for the opportunity" ???

A humanoid figure appears inside the fire and at the command of her right hand, the fire dissipates.

"You..." Suigintou Arnestianne Graupel

"That is...!" Lutz Foschurose Dusoleil

At the scream of her husband, the Saintess open her eyes.

"...The True Demon Queen!" Maine Yuna Dusoleil

The foreign lady breaks the chains on me with her hands.

"She should take care of you better" Ifrit

She?

"But I guess she needs a little help" Ifrit

"Kyaa!!" Maine Yuna Dusoleil

"!!!" Male harem

The platform where the new queen and her lovers were standing blows up.

"Is this it?" ???

When did he get here?

"Good job, Alastor" Ifrit

The self-proclaimed butler hands over the crown of the queen to Ifrit.

"No! Don't do it!" Lutz Foschurose Dusoleil

Stunned by the explosion, the former prince of the kingdom cries out desperately as he staggers.

"?" Maine Yuna Dusoleil

The royal family and all the nobility know the true value of the queen's crown.

"You will doom us all!" Lutz Foschurose Dusoleil

The crown of the queen is a legendary artifact that maintains the snow outside the city.

"..." Ifrit

Now that it is in the hands of the True Demon Queen there only can be one outcome.

"What an insult to my kind" Ifrit

She breaks it in two and then burns the remains.

"How could you do something so cruel!" Heir to the Vase Duchy

"This can't be the truth!" Heir to the Vine Duchy

"You monster!" Heir to the Sword Duchy

Immediately after the destruction of the artifact, the cold wind that reigns over the whole continent starts invading the city.

"*ROAAARRR!!!*" Sealed beast

And the scream of the mystical beast that was sealed into the remainder of the founding of the kingdom stuns the ears of everyone present.

"It cant be..." Lutz Foschurose Dusoleil

Despair fills the eyes of the new king.

"What is that?" Maine Yuna Dusoleil

Flying majestically in the sky with spikes at the tips of its wings, a long tail, a four-meter-tall humanoid body, a dragon head, gray scales, sharp claws, and gray horns, the legendary threat to the kingdom is upon us.

"At last we meet" Ifrit

That is the king of all spirits, for the first time in 1400 years...

“Bahamut has been released” Suigintou Arnestianne Graupel
