Star-Track Tower, Tsumuguri City.
In the early morning, Lillian pushed open the tower’s front door. Looking at the yard full of fallen leaves, she couldn’t help but frown and let out a sigh.
Although the winter here wasn’t as severe as in the north, the chilly morning air still made Lillian, who had just crawled out of her warm bed, shiver.
“Brrr! It’s so cold! I need to sweep these leaves quickly and then go see how Lady Charlotte is doing.”
Muttering to herself, Lillian picked up the broom and began sweeping the fallen leaves in the yard.
The rustling sound of the sweeping reached a room on the second floor of the Star-Track Tower.
“Has it already… been a month?” The red-haired girl sitting on the bed and looking out the window wore a look of utter loneliness.
Who would have thought that the strongest Blood Clan True Ancestor of the Demon Realm, the rising Demon King who unified the entire Demon Realm—the being named Feiye Zhenhong—would be reduced to being locked in a tiny room, staring blankly at the scenery outside every day.
Zhenhong had always believed she was the strongest being in the world.
The Blood Clan she belonged to was originally the weakest among all the demon races, but after she inherited the position of True Ancestor, her immense strength made the Blood Clan the most powerful of all.
She had reunified the factions that had been in chaos for nearly a thousand years since the downfall of the previous Demon King, Kōse, and formed a massive joint demon army to eye the human empire across the Boundary Mountains.
Even on the battlefield, she was invincible; no one could stop her advance.
Undoubtedly, she held the script of an overpowered protagonist.
Controlling the destiny of the world, she was destined to complete the mission of grand unification.
However, that white-haired witch was an exception.
She had suddenly and silently appeared behind her, grabbed her collar, and hoisted her hundreds of meters into the azure sky. Then, she had unleashed dozens of powerful magical bombardments at her…
Even if she wanted to counterattack, the opponent gave her no opportunity.
She couldn’t escape the magical bombardment, no matter how hard she tried.
In no time, she was beaten into a stupor by the opponent, kneeling at her feet like a lost soul, ready for slaughter.
‘Hey, is this for real?’ She thought she was invincible, but she hadn’t expected this person to be even more powerful than her. ‘Whose subordinate is she?’
‘Wasn’t I holding the royal road script of an overpowered protagonist? Why is that person’s script a level above mine?’ ‘If you were to create a Zhou Yu, why must you also create a Zhuge Liang!’
Recalling her past glory and her spirited, confident figure on the battlefield, Zhenhong, locked in a tiny room like a pet, felt a wave of resentment.
Gazing at the two small sparrows chirping on a branch outside the window, Zhenhong felt for a moment like a canary locked in a cage.
No matter how hard she struggled, she couldn’t escape the grasp of that short little witch.
Since her crushing defeat at that person’s hands a month ago, she had become the other party’s pet, brought directly to her headquarters and locked in this tiny room.
Zhenhong severely suspected that the white-haired witch possessed the ability to alter other people’s common sense.
The dragon girl named Lillian had already fallen victim to the witch, becoming her personal tool.
If she remained locked here, she feared it wouldn’t be long before she, too, became like that dragon girl, reduced to a toy for the white-haired witch.
‘I don’t want to become like that!’
‘I refuse to become like that!’
‘I am the noble True Ancestor of the Blood Clan, the newly born Demon King of the Demon Realm. I am a being meant to rule others; how can I be ruled by someone else?’
Even if she was resentful of her current situation, she was currently powerless.
A special magical barrier had been placed on the room’s door, allowing only specific people to pass through freely.
Her name was not on the magic barrier’s whitelist, so she naturally couldn’t pass through the door to the outside.
Although such a barrier could be forcibly broken with magic, a red collar was currently fastened around her neck, preventing her from using any of her internal magical power, and thus making her unable to cast any spells.
The nearby windows were the same, unable to be opened from the inside. She couldn’t even breathe the free air outside.
‘Am I going to be locked in this tiny room for the rest of my life?’
‘Dammit! Dammit! Dammit!’
In her resentment, Zhenhong struck the door angrily.
However, at that moment, she was startled to find that the door had miraculously swung open; the barrier placed upon it had somehow failed.
Gazing at the suddenly open door, Zhenhong stood frozen at the entrance.
‘What on earth is going on?’
‘Why did the barrier suddenly fail?’
‘Did that person suddenly have a change of heart and feel guilty for locking me up, so she removed the magic barrier?’
‘No, it’s easier to believe I’m the Emperor of Qin than to believe she had a sudden change of heart.’
‘Is this a trap?’
‘If I take even one step out of this room, will I be brutally attacked by some wild beasts?’
‘Is she using this as an excuse to lock me in a small dark room and give me a harsh re-education?’
Zhenhong hesitated for a moment.
But she didn’t want to be locked in this tiny room for the rest of her life anymore.
Even if there were dangers ahead, she would charge through them in pursuit of freedom!
With this thought, Zhenhong steeled her resolve and took the first step toward rewriting her destiny.
Having narrowly escaped the room, Zhenhong’s spirits soared. Although she hadn’t yet truly made it out, the road to freedom was beneath her feet, and she couldn’t help but feel excited.
If she could seize this opportunity to escape back to the Demon Realm, she could start anew, assemble an even more formidable demon army, and make a comeback.
Before, it was only because Blue Dragon Dean’s Dragon-Riding Corps hadn’t arrived in time that the white-haired witch had caught her off guard and beaten her up.
Once she regained her strength and teamed up with Blue Dragon Dean, that witch would be destined to be defeated and reduced to a “Star-Wrath s*ave.”
At this thought, Zhenhong became exceptionally excited, but she quickly shook her head to calm herself down.
‘No, at a critical time like this, I must be even more composed.’
‘I’m currently in the enemy’s headquarters. If I try to escape like this, I’ll probably be spotted by other witches before I’ve even gone far and be dragged back to that white-haired witch like a common animal.’
She couldn’t use any magic right now. Until she destroyed the collar around her neck, she couldn’t act recklessly.
But where could she go, and what could she do to destroy this collar?
Just as she was at a loss, Zhenhong suddenly heard footsteps nearby and hurriedly held her breath, hiding in a corner.
