That Day I Became A Daughter Of The Demon Lord
Episode 37's

"Rect."

The called turned his head, giving a brief nod. Slowly his limbs pulled out a pitch-black fine hair, changed in structure and completely changed into a big black dog. So big, about the size of a horse. And enough to ride.

"Shortly a minute. We're going to ride Rekta?"

Edgar nodded. "No, you're the one who went up. I'll fly."

I frowned. "Why don't we fly together?"

"You're tired, Felice. I don't want you to be exhausted. The distance from here to the palace is still quite far."

"But kan—" Before I could finish, Edgar had placed his index finger on my lips. I fell silent, blinked a few times before finally nodding.

Edgar smiled with satisfaction. His hand moved around me and sat me on Rekta's back.

"Daughter, just hold my fur so the princess doesn't fall."

I thought twice before finally being obedient to grasping her soft fur. Is it not pain?

Rekta started running. Not too tight. Maybe because he was holding me. Plus Edgar was flying right above me, not too high to watch me.

I remember the movie Breaking Down 2. Have you ever seen that movie? Remember when the daughters of Edward and Bella rode Jack the big wolf? That's what I feel right now.

The difference is that Rekta is a dog.

Once we were in the palace, many new soldiers were marching along the gate towards the entrance of the palace. They knelt down, saluting the walking Edgar with a pitch-black aura coming out of his body. His face was firm, glancing at the new faces that had made it through the sadistic training made by Shinji Eligos, one of the kingdom's commanders.

Rekta was still wearing a black dog figure, walking right behind me. I was quite wondering why he still wears the figure of a black dog, but it is better if he uses a human figure. He will be respected, and better known by the new soldiers.

"Stand," Edgar ordered, making all the troops stand firm at once. He continued. "Congratulations to those of you who have survived so far. I'm sure Shinji gave you a torture that made you feel like dying, didn't I? But it's a provision for you to fight later. It makes you strong, brave to face any opponent as strong as he is. Undaunted. Lastly, I expect your loyalty to me."

"Our respect to the lord of hell."

After the short speech he delivered, there began to sound praise and good wishes for the Acacia Kingdom in the future. Some clapped and wiped away tears. It seems they have gone through a terrible thing. I don't know what kind of torture Shinji gave them.

"Shinji, meet me in my room after dinner."

Shinji lowered his head for a moment, saluting. "Understand me, your majesty."

- O w O -

I took the initiative to bring myself dinner today to Edgar's room. I also brought bandages and wound medicine. Edgar was not in his room. So where is that creature? Is he in his study?

But unlikely, he promises to see Shinji after dinner, and he hasn't had dinner yet.

I looked around, looking all over the room. I also checked out some of the secret rooms Edgar had shown me, until I finally found them in one of his secret rooms. The room he said he liked and was full of memories. I don't really understand what that means. In the room there was only a closet and old paintings.

Edgar looked so serious, looking at a painting with a sad face. I can't see it clearly. The painting was covered by Edgar's body.

"What happens if I'm late. I've lost you, Rez. I don't want to lose Felicia either. He's the only one you've left for me."

The painting is a painting of Edgar wearing a luxurious royal suit and a beautiful crown. And beside her was a green-haired woman wearing an elegant black dress and a crown.

And that woman must be Brezenska, my mother.
