・─ Azalea's POV

I am the first princess of the Lucifer Empire, situated in the southern region where demons reside. 

My mother is a witch and the third princess of the Magus Empire.

I possess fair skin and hair, similar to my mother. Additionally, I have inherited my father's distinctive features, such as two sharp, upwardly curved horns and demon-ears pointed. My eyes are also red, akin to his.

I found the Association of the World, known as the National Union Assembly, to be too lenient for my taste. 

I have taken the initiative to establish my own organization, which I have named Apex. 

I issued a strict order to each representative, instructing them to eliminate someone without hesitation. Furthermore, I emphasized the importance of maintaining strict discipline among their recruited members, hailing from their respective factions.

During the ceremonial assembly of the NUA Association, I had the opportunity to encounter the son of King Ueno. 

We developed a deep affection for each other and have been together for the past two years. 

However, I am beginning to question the sustainability of our relationship. 

It is becoming evident that we are fundamentally different, and I must come to terms with the fact that we are not destined to be together.

Someone like me, will be with your side? don't be ridiculous!

Your own kind will be disappeared if you are with me. 

"Why has it turned out like this, Azalea? Have I done something wrong? ...If it is possible, can you please enlighten me?" Savio softly uttered, lowering himself to his knees while I sat on my bed, my brow furrowed.

He appears quite desperate, why does he cling to me so much?

"I am unwilling to discuss it further or provide any explanations. That is all."

"W-What have I done? I promise to make amends for the sake of our relationship. Please, could you provide me with some insight?"

...He is insistent, indeed.

"Why have you come here? Our relationship is over."

"I love you, Azalea," He confessed with desperation.

"If you truly love me, then you must let me go!" I raised my modulated voice.

"...N-NO!" 

"Guards, please escort him out." 

"Azalea! Please don't leave me, I beg of you! Let us carefully address and resolve our problems!" 

"L-Let me go!"

"Noooo! Azalea!" Savio cried out in anguish as the guards dragged him away to my main room.

I cast my eyes downward. 

"...It is more favorable for things to be this way." 

I murmured to myself, though my heart still ached.

In the aftermath of our separation, I informed my siblings and parents that I intended to embark on a year-long journey, making it clear that I no longer desired to be associated with him, and requested them not to mention me. 

Since that day, I fled from his presence. 

However, one day I fell ill, prompting me to utilize my demonic abilities to heal myself. 

Time passed, and to my astonishment, my belly began to grow. 

"...I forgot that we had been intimate, w-what I'm supposed to do. ..."

I was filled with uncertainty and apprehension. 

If the child was indeed born, and taken care of it, It would bear resemblance to me, and our productive love would be born without a father. 

The problem of family is not complete, it's something I ardently wished to avoid.

Afterward, I resorted to utilizing the forbidden magical powers to diminish the growth of my womb gradually. 

"...My child." 

As I touched my belly, a mixture of happiness and sorrow overwhelmed me. I wept, acknowledging that this was my fault and that I had learned my lesson. 

Upon discovering that we had a child together, I yearned for him to be aware of it, leading me to decide to meet him using any means necessary. 

However, just when it seemed we were about to reunite after several months, I discovered that he had found someone else and they had married. 

I felt a sense of relief, for I had already moved on and was unaffected by this revelation.

I have been observing them from a distance while concealing my identity. 

Several months have gone by, and he now has two children. The other one will be born soon. I once again teleport to Ueno castle, utilizing the capability of invisibility and stealth, from lost magic. 

This will be my final visit. During the time spent here, I managed to extract blood from his wife while she was asleep, mimicking the actions of a caregiver as a cover. 

I then teleport back to my base to conduct further studies and experiments using her blood. 

Time seems to pass quickly as I carry my child within me. 

After much consideration, I have decided to transfer my child to his wife, so that when the child is born, my child can have a complete family. 

"...You should stay with your father, as someone like me is not suitable." 

I create a large, delicate circle using earth magic, and within it, I place her blood and my own. 

I cannot help but feel nervous, but I possess great power and strength. 

"This is all for the sake of my beloved child... I wonder, what will be your gender identity, my child? I love you very much."

I simultaneously harness forbidden and creator magic. 

A few moments later, I inquired about the completion time, expressing my distress at the situation resembling harm to my child. 

"When will it end? It's like I'm killing my child. ... It hurts."

The presence of glowing blood and pain in my womb adds to my distress. 

"What?! No!" Suddenly, I experience a sense of pressure and heaviness in my body, causing me to exclaim in disbelief. 

"Master? What happened─"

One of my representatives, concerned, inquired about the reason behind my outburst. 

Before I lose consciousness, I worry about the well-being of my child. 

Upon awakening, my vision is blurry. 

"""""M-Master!"""""

I am greeted by the worried faces of numerous individuals representing various races. 

I adjust my posture and sit up on the bed, unsure of the situation. 

"You had been asleep for six days."

"That long?"

"Yes master."

...I remember. ...That's right, my child.

Combining the forbidden and creator magic proved to be perilous. 

"The blood... Is it gone?"

"Master, the blood has turned into stone and has been taken care of."

Huh? T-That can't be... The blood needs to be dried!

"...N-No."

"M─" 

"─Everyone get out!"

This revelation fills me with anguish, and I abruptly instruct everyone to leave. 

"...M-My experiment has failed, and I have inadvertently k-killed my own child." 

I was overwhelmed by deep dejection.

"....Why am I like this?" 

The pain I feel is unbearable. 

I have encountered a setback and I find myself overcome with sadness as tears escape from my eyes. 

"AAAHHHH!!!"

I fell into despair. I cried my heart out, and I killed my happiness. 

 ̄  ̄  ̄

It has been several months since the incident occurred.

The prestigious organization known as Apex, which is a powerful secondary association, is based on the secluded islands at the end of Global. 

My headquarters is a castle made of dark golden ash.

At the castle's conference room, my representatives from various races gather for a convention focusing on ineffective elimination strategies, and I'm listening, remaining quiet.

"They were discovered and apprehended by the NUA Association, leaving them surprised and fortunate that their lives were spared. However, their leader managed to evade capture."

"The leader is currently in a weakened state, making it uninteresting to execute him. We will wait for them to calm down before taking further action."

"In that case, they will be our next targets for elimination. Haa, bloodlust is coming."

"Good thing, their plan has completely ceased to exist and it is solely their fault for their incompetence!"

"Master, the room has been filled with rather eccentric companions, if I may say so."

"Master, the situation is actually the opposite."

"So mean, and I have been told, your younger sister betrayed them, causing them to fall into a trap, yes?"

"Perhaps she discovered something beneficial for herself, and I trust my little sister- nyah."

"Listen, I have been informed that the opponent's influence is quite strong, as it appears to overpower you, master."

Pardon?

"I have also heard about their statement. It seems that the youngest daughter of King Ueno, the Current Holder of Assembly, is the one who thwarted their plan, this certainly adds an intriguing twist to the situation."

"As a first-class soldier affiliated with the NUA Association. I know the current holder's information, his daughter's name is Rin von Avila Craig-Ueno."

"As per the rules of the world, only one to three productive births are allowed due to our ages. Yet, it seems unbelievable that they have another child. Truly a miracle."

I stood up, and everyone's attention turned towards me.

.....I can't believe what I just heard.

"M-Master?"

My child, is alive...

"...R-Remember that our organization does not pose harm to any innocent races, we first observe other wrongful organizations to understand their plans and actions. Only after obtaining this information, we take necessary action, which may involve elimination." I explained and took a seat.

"Master, it is true that your former lover is currently holding a position in the assembly, correct? You were his first love, so why did you end the relationship?" Suddenly, a question arose.

...I acknowledge that it has been a while since my representative last served me properly, and I understand that it is normal to be curious. 

"Why is everyone staring at me? It's making me frustrated," I expressed my annoyance.

"Master, we are all eager to hear your perspective!" One of my followers insisted.

"I would like to hear your side of the story too!" Another chimed in, who was my sister.

"Fine. ...I left him because he was too good for me. I couldn't accept it, and we didn't share the same feelings. To the point where we couldn't comprehend each other. I didn't like the discomfort I felt when I was with him, so I left him, and I have no regrets about it. To commence, both my internal and external state of being were exceedingly afflicted, hence leading me to despise my own existence during the period I spent with him."

"But he acknowledged your presence, sister, and actively searched for you prior to this revelation."

"Indeed. I had eloped at that time, prompting his endeavor to find me."

"Sister, does this not bring you joy? Despite your impassive demeanor, I can sense your emotions. Losing your first love may appear burdensome, do not fret if you remain unwed, for we still have time. It is imperative that you empower yourself and proceed at your own pace."

Yes, I am profoundly elated to hear about my beloved child.

"...You are correct. I'll delegate the conversation to you, as I have some matters to attend to. I'll return shortly." 

As I rise from my seat, my countenance remains neutral. I depart from the meeting table. 

...I want to be alone for a while.

As I traverse the corridor.

I am rendered speechless.

Upon learning of the survival of my cherished child, my mind became void.

I venture towards the balcony of the castle, where the panoramic view takes my breath away.

Tears cascade down my cheeks, as I find solace. 

...My forbidden sorcery has indeed proven successful. 

Throughout this entire duration, regret has plagued my conscience. 

I have even lost my emotions and expressions until I became accustomed to it.

Today, I feel like I have awakened.

In the past, I used to be proud, conservative, complex, and allocentric.

I am extremely happy.

"Thank goodness."

I am deeply grateful.

"So you have inherited me. Ah... I desire to see you at this very moment. ...I restrain myself."

I am so relieved that you are alive.

I have failed as a mother, but I know you will comprehend my situation.

Now, I can overcome anything. I cannot fathom what I would have done 

without you.

I yearn to embrace you intensely.

I appreciate that you are the sole occupant of my thoughts.

...For the time being, I will mend myself.

I am eagerly anticipating our meeting.

If I had the chance to be with anyone, it would still be you... I miss you.
