Dead Queen Nala's
06 Human Life

Nikana City. The city, which was abandoned when Dracula took control of the area, is now one of the most successful cities in the country. One that made him famous was the Royal Colosseum, where knights fought and raised his rank. Hence Nikana is nicknamed the City of Knights, the city where you will find knights in every way. Only a stupid monster who dared to enter a cage full of dogs would instantly lung and tear apart this visible monster. And luckily, I'm one of those stupid monsters.

Pufu and I entered Nikana while still trying to calm down. Of course the fear was there, considering how my first encounter with the knight made my head float in the air. But making us look suspicious because nervous would be more dangerous. So we have to be normal, until we meet with Kronii.

"seen right? Everything's fine."

Inside a bar, Kronii greeted us in a no less dangerous butler suit in his magician's clothes. Seeing the state of the bar that was filled with men, I did not need to ask again how he had been getting information.

"You still angry, huh?" Ask Kronii because I didn't respond at all.

I didn't answer. For the sake of obtaining the Book of Resurrection, I must pass by the knight-filled Nikana. So far the plan has worked, but I still don't forgive him.

Like the Kronii, the way monsters can blend in with humans is to become like humans. And here I am now.

My skin is no longer pale thanks to the cream that Kronii smeared. A pair of magical objects similar to eye lenses that make my eyes turn blue. A neck bracelet that makes my speech understandable to humans. Then a knight suit that I don't know for what. I don't have a problem with any of that except.. My hair. Yes, he cut my long hair as short as a boy and dyed it yellow. As a zombie, I don't yet know if my hair can still grow, so hair is my most important part. The cut part of my body can still be spliced, but what about my hair? Of course I balked, but he forced me to have the monsters hold me back. I won't forgive him. Anyway, I've always wanted to try to dye my hair yellow. Not too bad I thought, if only I could see it with my long hair.

For Pufu, he used a monk's suit that kept his antennae and butterfly wings hidden. To his eyes, Pufu used an illusion that made him look like a human eye. Now he really reminds me of my schoolmate.

"alright. First, Nala, until you find the Book of Resurrection, your name is Arthur, a knight of the fourth rank. Then second, you should know if Dracula castle has strict guard. Only knights with a minimum of rank three would be able to enter the place."

Now I understand why I was told to wear the knight's armor. Instruction time.

"Okay, first question. You want me to pretend to be a man? Why can't I just be a female knight?"

"You know it's easier for me to get a man, right? No one will suspect anything."

"How can you be sure?"

"Yes because.. Your assets are not as big as mine, are they? Hehe." His eyes were pointing to my chest. I'm gonna kill him. Seriously.

"For another reason. You know about the Royal Colosseum, right? Arthur, your new identity, is following him and has been in the last eight. In other words, three more fights and you will rise to the third rank, also permission to enter the castle."

Wait-What? I was so angry that I didn't really listen to him. Did he just say that I had to fight?
