The Demon Queen has been defeated.
The one who beat her was a hypnosis spell cast by the hero Xiluo in his dying moments.
“Master, what would you like me to do?”
The Demon Queen used to be so aloof and haughty, but now she was dressed as a maid, meekly kneeling at his feet and letting him do whatever he wanted. Any normal person would be delighted.
But Xiluo stared glumly at the book of hypnosis magic he'd just learned was a fake.
[Demon Queen's thoughts]
“Undercover mission successful.”
“...But why do I have to bark like a dog?”
“I'm only pretending to be hypnotized. Just you wait, Xiluo. I'll settle the score with you sooner or later.”
“Why are you praising me in front of other people again?”
“Maris, remember, you're the Demon Queen, not his plaything.”
“This is only temporary. I'm enduring it for the sake of a greater goal.”
“Definitely... definitely not because I like him.”
