Floid was sitting in the throne room while staring at the human heads that some of his high-ranking giants brought in as trophies to present to him. The giants saw it as a great honor to bring the head of their toughest opponent and present it to the demon lord as a sign of strength. Floid laughed when Alucard told him that this was very common among the demons and some of them did it to show that their lineage was very strong. If the demon lord is ever looking for a wife, they hope that he would choose someone from their household. Floid wasn't looking for a wife and even if he was, he wasn't going to choose a female giant as a wife. He didn't think it was sensible for him not to be able to look his wife in the eye. But they did a good job so he will accept the heads.

Maybe he'll tell Travy to hang it in front of Uta later. Let Uta know that I'm coming for them next. ƒ𝚛𝐞𝚎𝑤𝘦𝚋𝓷o𝚟e𝘭.c𝐨𝙢

After Floid sent the giants out, he saw a portal open in front of him and the priestess Freya stumbled through before falling to the ground. She was holding her head in pain while mumbling about stupid knights and ugly traitors.

Dragonnel came through the portal as well and he bowed to Floid before moving to stand beside Alucard at Floid's right hand. Alucard narrowed his eyes slightly at Dragonnel and Dragonnel gave him a cheeky grin in return. These two men still didn't like each other and it was obvious that Alucard didn't enjoy standing beside Dragonnel.

Floid didn't bother himself with their rivalry because he knew there was nothing harmful about it. Dragonnel and Alucard worked well together. Even if they didn't like each other, they still made a good team on missions. They would never fight each other since they know that Floid would beat the shit out of them if they ever did!

Freya looked around the throne room and she wondered why Dragonnel threw her here. She dusted herself off while slowly standing up. Ugh! Are those human heads? Who would drop these disgusting things here? Their eyes are open! Freya had to move away from the disgusting heads and she finally looked up.

Once Freya looked up and saw Floid, her expression changed to one of shock before her eyes narrowed in disbelief. She was confused by what she was seeing. The hero? Isn't that Floid? Then why is he sitting on the throne of Aquinas? Don't tell me that Priscilla was right! He is the demon lord!?

No! No!

Freya immediately disregarded that possibility! There is no way that Floid is the demon lord! I'm sure that this is an illusion! That's right! This man is an imposter that took on the image of the hero to make us lose morale!!

Freya stood regally and dusted herself off as she held her head high. Even if she is a prisoner, she still held herself like a priestess!! She looked back at Floid with critical eyes.

"I would suggest you stop using that illusion. I don't know why you would pretend to look like the former hero but it is an insult to the man I love and I will not stand for it,"

Floid chuckled as he accepted the tea that Rizi made for him. Floid didn't even say a word as he finished the tea slowly. After two minutes, he dropped the cup back and then spoke.

"And why should I care about your opinion?"

"I'm the priestess -"

"You're a dead woman walking, and you have no right to demand anything."

Freya immediately shut up once she heard this. She looked around her and she saw that she was the only human in the room. She was literally standing in a den of monsters! Freya subtly peeked behind her and she saw that there was an open door. There weren't any guards standing there and if she reinforced her legs with Mana she could make it in less than two seconds. Freya had very high defense magic and even if she was low on Mana now, she is sure that she can protect herself enough so that she can get out of this room!

But why did she feel like she would die once she moves?

Alucard was just looking at Freya with calm eyes, but Freya could tell from his stance that he was ready to move at any moment! Freya knew that he would kill her if she dares to move a muscle! Freya felt irritation fill her as she shouted!

"Stop using the Hero's image you fucking imposter! You're slandering his name and I will never accept that you're using the face of the man I love!"

Floid rose his hand to stop anyone from moving to attack Freya, he was interested in what she was saying. He hummed while resting his cheek on his fist. Is she talking about me? I never got any sort of information that she was in love with me when I was playing the game. We had a lot of interactions but I never had a romance route with her. Maybe it is something that happened off-screen?

"If you loved him so much, why did you kill him? Don't tell me that your interpretation of love and murder are the same. Are you a yandere?"

Freya took a step back in shock once Floid said this! No one is supposed to know that she killed the hero! They made sure that the hero's body was taken care of! How does this man know? Does he have some sort of mind-reading ability?

"I don't care if you believe I'm the hero or not, but I can't just let you go now that you're in front of me. You didn't deny the fact that you killed me for no reason and therefore you'll face the repercussions,"

Freya's face ashed when she saw Floid move to stand up.

"W-Wait! It wasn't my idea! It was Priscilla! She is the one that decided to get rid of the hero! I didn't even want to kill him before Priscilla threatened me!"

Floid's stare made Freya feel so small! It was so condescending! Floid gave her a smile and a chill traveled down her back.

"I don't think you understand, Freya. Violence in payment for violence is the way of demons. Why should I care who initiated the act? So long as you were a partaker, you too are guilty of the same crime,"

Floid didn't care if it was Priscilla that came up with the plan to kill him. Floid didn't even care if Freya didn't do anything at all. Freya knew that Priscilla was going to kill the hero and even though Freya claimed to love the hero she still stood by and watched as he died. He saved them and they just killed him for their greed?

What a twisted sense of love she had!

Floid stood up with a sigh. He didn't know Freya. He only met her through the game before and that isn't enough for Floid to have a good idea of the sort of person that Freya is. But from this small conversation, Floid could tell that Freya was very vain and she only cared about her image. She was a very materialistic person and appearance meant a lot to her. So Floid would give a suitable punishment.

Floid walked closer to Freya and Freya felt her heartbeat increase drastically. Even if she didn't believe that this is the hero, she couldn't deny that he looked just as handsome as the hero! Everything was the same! From the white hair to the perfect red eyes and amazing height. Freya believed this was a perfect replica of Floid!

"Since you love appearances so much, I'll allow you to show your true self to the rest of the world. Don't show your face in front of me ever again"

Floid put his hand on Freya's chest and pushed her and Freya fell back through a portal that opened behind her. Freya was surprised. Is that it? Haha! What a fucking stupid man! Do you think you can stop me by teleporting me!? I'm too beautiful and popular and even if you send me to the end of the world I'll still be able to rise to the top!

[Illusion] has been cast.

Freya landed on a busy street in the middle of Trad and she looked around at all the trading stalls that were around her. A lot of people were waking on the street but once they saw her many of them stopped to stare in shock and disgust. Freya frowned. Disgust? Why would they look at her like that? Freya immediately stood up and went towards one of the merchants there to ask him where she was but the man immediately shouted at her!

"Don't come near here, you hag! Do you want to infect my store!? Get out!"

Splat!

The merchant threw a tomato at her and Freya was even more confused! She put her hand up to her face to protect herself from the tomato and she felt a roughness on her face. Her hands shook and she took a step away from the merchant as he threw another tomato at her!

Freya ran down the street and she could see all the disgusted looks that people were giving her. They were looking at her like she was some sort of vermin! Freya kept on running till she got to an alleyway that she managed to hide behind. She quickly searched for anything around her to use and look at herself! She found a broken mirror near a heap of trash and she stared at herself!

My face! What happened to my face!?

Freya's face was covered in warts and she had the appearance of an old woman with wrinkles and droopy eyes! Even her hair turned white! Her face was ruined!

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!"

.....

Floid shook his wrist once he pushed Freya through the portal. He didn't like touching her at all. Even when she was beautiful, she was still disgusting. It will be impossible for anyone to break that illusion so she will be like that forever unless Floid himself breaks it. Let her see life from a new perspective.

Alucard immediately walked forward and handed a towel to Floid for him to clean his hand. Floid collected it as he spoke.

"Where is Rosa? She isn't done with her task yet?"
