Chapter 1270 We're The Bad Guys This Time?
(MC POV)
So… Remember how Feng Xian wanted to betray the king?
Well obviously he doesn't have that idea anymore but… It seemed like his attempted coup inspired several others to rise up against the crown as well.
Although from what I heard, the civil war had already been going on for a while, it was just that quite a number had been on the fence about it.
The news about Feng Xian rebelling was enough to convince them to rebel as well, even though they did not know the real reason behind his rebellion.
"Reporting to your Majesty! The entire southern and eastern territories have risen up in rebellion against us!" The soldier reported.
"What?! How dare they?! On what basis are they rebelling against me?!!"
"It… It seems like they are men who no longer wish to be blessed by the pleasure of being dominated anymore…"
"Preposterous! Have they all lost their minds?!! How can anyone deny such pleasures?!"
This is coming from the guy currently on all fours and serving as Diao Chan's seat right now, my Witch looking especially refreshed despite being blindfolded, whipped, suspended, spanked and gagged the entire night yesterday. She truly was a succubus…
The soldier bowed his head, "It… It seems like they are truly bent on rising up against us, your majesty…"
Hmm… To create a World like this… I'm guessing Diao Chan simply made the reality where 'Men are dominated in this country' but did not make this become an ideal for the people affected or even changed their perception of such a role, thus you have people who would try to fight against such a reality?
That's something interesting to note for future use.
"Ugh… Forgive this useless one, Mistress… I should have kept a tighter leash on this country…" The king apologised while looking towards Diao Chan.
She smacked him across the face with a whip, "Did I allow you to look at me? And why are you even apologising to me? Isn't there someone even higher that you should be apologising to?"
He quickly bowed his head lower, "I apologise to the great All Creator!!"
Ugh… That's right… Diao Chan had went ahead to change their opinions of me overnight… She definitely used some kind of reality manipulation again since there's no way they would change their minds so easily…
Diao Chan nodded at him, "That's good, as long as you know your place and Master's greatness~"
The king whimpered before turning back to the soldier that was still kneeling on the ground, "Well?! Why have we not sent anyone to suppress them yet?!"
The soldier hesitated, "We… We have, your Majesty… But that meddlesome group of people have been decimating everyone we have sent so far… Even Generals Guo, Zhang and Fan have been defeated!"
The king sputtered in shock, "What?! What about General Li?!"
"He had taken the first and second army out to face the rebels, your Majesty!"
The king breathed out a sigh of relief, "Ah… Then that should be fine, we should be hearing about his victory by tomorrow."
No sooner had those words left his lips, another soldier came running in.
"Your Majesty!! General Li has been defeated in battle! The first and second army have also been routed!! The rebel army is marching straight for the capital right now!!"
The throne room fell silent from the unexpected news.
"How did they get defeated so easily?!!" The king demanded.
The soldier that delivered the news bowed his head even lower, "We do not know… All that was reported was that there was a column of light appearing and the General was defeated…"
"Arrrrgghhh!! That damned Hero!!"
…
Errr… Wait, what? Did he just say 'hero'?
While I was wondering if I misheard him, the king continued his rant, "That stupid Hero!! How could such a person suddenly appear out of nowhere while wielding some Goddess's blessing?! That Goddess was clearly jealous of the things happening here and tricked some naive idiot into rebelling against us!! We should have killed that stupid Hero from the very start!!"
…
Ah… Oh wow…
I admit, I never saw this coming…
I mean… I just came from Eris's date where we were the hero's party setting off to defeat the demon lord so I was not expecting to revisit a similar theme so soon.
But now that I think about it… It kind of made a little sense…
Diao Chan is basically a succubus goddess which made her a demon, she's also dominating everyone around here and making everyone's life 'miserable'. So a hero was thus sent out to subdue her.
Does this mean… We're the baddies?
I turned to look at Diao Chan who was still seated on top of the king with her legs crossed in a relaxed manner, her succubus wings and tail waving in the air casually. She's even wearing a very tight fitting outfit that accentuated her curves while a whip rested in her outstretched hand ready to smack the king at any time.
Hmm… Yep. She definitely looks sexy enough to be a villain. There is absolutely no way anyone is going to think Diao Chan is the heroine at all.
But I don't think we'll need to worry about it that much since the hero is still far away right? We'll probably finish our date before he even reaches the capital city since he's marching here with an army and all.
"Repooooort!! The Hero has been seen riding a dragon and is headed directly towards the capital!!" A soldier shouted as soon as he ran in.
What the heck, really? Don't tell me they're--
"Repooooort!! We have spotted the Hero riding a dragon coming straight at us!! They've already destroyed the main gates and are flying straight towards the palace!!"
Oh great, I bet the roof of the throne room is going to get torn off in three, two, one…
The roof of the throne room got ripped off and a dragon's head poked in, roaring in our direction. Everyone else in the throne room immediately fled the moment the dragon appeared, leaving only the king, the prince, Diao Chan and myself behind.
A group of five people then leapt off the dragon's back to land in front of the throne. It didn't need a genius to figure out that these people were probably the heroes that were here to defeat Diao Chan who must be the 'Demon Lord' to them.
"Demon Lord!! We have come to end your reign of terror over these lands!! I, the Hero Elissa, shall defeat you here and free everyone from your wickedness!!"
Called it.
And of course, the Hero just had to be a beautiful girl with long, shining blonde hair that seemed to flutter from an invisible wind around her.
I was even fully expecting the party to be all females but surprisingly the rest were male.
Now the real question is… Am I supposed to be the secret final boss or something? Or am I like a super ultimate helper that appears when Diao Chan uses some kind of secret ultimate move?
Oh who am I kidding, I'm definitely just part of the audience here, so don't mind me, I'll just be here eating my popcorn~
