A Highest Rank in Another World!

With the commotion outside the castle, some guards went to check what had happened. When they approached the site of the king's fall, they could not even identify his body.

Not knowing whose body it was, the guards looked up curious since it had been reported that the body had fallen through the window.

"Isn't that the king's bedroom window?" One of the guards said as he looked up worriedly.

Two other guards who were standing next to him could not believe what was happening.

The guards looked again at the body lying on the floor and shone a better light on it. There, a foxtail could be seen slightly damaged.

"It's him." The guard said as he swallowed dryly and began to go into extreme despair.

"THE KING IS DEAD!" He shouted without thinking, drawing the attention of all the people around. With his shout, the commotion became even greater. People who couldn't believe it began to come closer.

In a short time, a huge group of curious onlookers had formed next to the king's mansion. Since there was no protective wall, everyone was able to approach easily. The only thing that kept them at a distance were some guards protecting the king's body.

And not wanting any more residents to see what a pitiful situation the king was in, one of the guards covered his body with a white sheet that was quickly stained red.

"Couldn't you have brought a black sheet?"

"But..."

"No matter, I want you to inform our superiors immediately."

"They have already been notified, sir."

"Good. Now let's take care of the king's body. AND YOU GUYS, WE WILL NEED TO USE OUR FORCE TO GET YOU OUT OF HERE?" The guard shouted as he threatened nearby residents.

Not wanting to be treated like criminals, they walked away.

After that, the guards began to gather the pieces of the king's body around. The body was placed on a sheet that was then used as a "Bag" to carry the body.

Before long, the quiet night of partying had turned into a night of complete terror and worry.

The morning had come at the king's Beastled mansion.

Inside a bedroom, a girl stood up while opening her mouth and cleaning her eyes with the back of her hand. This was Meduz, one of Hades' subordinates who had just arrived in Beastled.

Getting up, she went to the mirror and took a good look at her face and body.

"Aren't I getting a little fat? I have to stop eating." She said as she put her hand on her belly that was showing because of the rather sexy pajamas she was wearing.

"My horns also seem to be getting bigger. I don't like it." Meduz put his hand on his horns and stroked them.

"They grew about two centimeters last night. I hope they stop to grow." She went to the closet and picked out an outfit to wear. She chose long, black pants and a shirt with short sleeves.

The shirt was not too big either and left her belly button and belly showing.

"Isn't that too sexy too? That way it will look like I'm a prostitute or something." She pulled her shirt down a little to try to hide her belly button.

"Excuse me? Miss Meduz?"

But as she dressed and also combed her long red hair with black locks, a voice caught her attention. It was a soft and calm voice, it was a voice that Meduz knew very well.

"You may enter, Timdra" Meduz replied as he combed his hair slowly in front of the mirror.

"Excuse me."

"So, what happened? I'm getting dressed now."

"You don't need any help getting dressed?"

"I'm not a child, don't worry."

"I understand." Timdra who heard those words was a little incredulous. How does a girl who acts childish does have the courage to say that she is not a child? But still, she kept quiet.

Because she was afraid.

Timdra had never seen a demon before, and Meduz caused an indescribable sense of danger. But still, she had to help Maduz since it was a request from the king.

"So, you didn't come here just to help me, did you? What happened?" Meduz looked at Timdra through the mirror. Timdra who was standing behind Meduz shifted his gaze to avoid Meduz's frightening and strange gaze.

"Something happened last night."

"What is it?"

"It seems that the king was assassinated. Right now they are having a meeting and are also investigating a bit to find out what exactly happened."

"Hmmm..."

"It looks like he fell out of the window and his body was all damaged. But I don't know if it's true since I didn't see his body."

"Didn't he kill himself or something?" Meduz said indifferently as he combed his hair and looked at Timdra curiously through the mirror. Timdra who continued to feel his gaze began to feel uneasy.

"It could be a possibility, that's why the investigation is happening."

"I see..."

"Aren't you surprised?"

"Why would I be?"

"It's nothing..."

After That silence took over the room and Meduz continued to comb her hair for another three minutes. And after she finished, she turned to Timdra and smiled, showing her sharp, scary teeth.

Timdra felt her body shiver as she looked at Meduz's face.

"So, how do I look?" The girl said as she showed off her clothes and hair.

"You look beautiful." Timdra smiled and clapped a hand.

"I am beautiful, aren't I? Hehe." Meduz again looked at himself in the mirror while acting narcissistic.

"Sorry to get in the way, but I also wanted to let you know that the coffee is on the table. Since the king won't be having breakfast, we set up the table just for you.''

"Oh, that's great. Although I should eat less. I think I'm getting fat."

"Hahaha."

In a room on the second floor of the mansion, a group of five people was talking about what had happened during the night.

Two men had dog ears on their heads and two women also had dog ears.

A single woman of another breed was in the room. She had fox ears and tail and looked rather sad. It was as if she had been crying for hours.

"So, what are we going to do from now on?" One of the dog-eared men asked.

"I don't know. Do we free the old king and put him in charge of the country again? I don't think the residents will be against that." The fox-eared woman said in a weak voice.

"But we have a problem. Some towns are fully supporting the new king. If the old king comes back maybe a rebellion would eat or something. Wouldn't it be bad if any like that happened at a time like this?" One of the dog-eared women said.

She was sitting on the right side of the table along with a girl who looked a lot like her. That was her sister.

And on the left side of the table sat the two men with dog ears. The two looked very similar, but they were of different ages. The only one who was saying anything was the older man with white hair.

"You are right..." He said.

The girl with fox ears was sitting on the right side of the table as she put her hands under her chin and propped her elbows on the table. She closed her eyes and thought about what to do next.

The other four people looked at her, waiting for her to say something.

This girl, was the older sister of the dead king, and also the country's prime minister after the former king was replaced.

'That idiot brother of mine. Why did he get the idea to break into the castle?' she thought as she sighed quietly.

'He seemed to be crazy. He talked as if someone was talking to him in his head. But just then that ugly little dwarf and those giant armors appeared. I couldn't believe it.'

'I couldn't do anything but support him in that. I wonder what our mother and father would think if they were alive to see this madness my brother did.'

The thoughtful girl began to smile and then gritted her teeth as she covered her tear-filled eyes.

'Why did you have to die just now? I knew it wasn't a good idea.' She whined as she cupped her face with her hands.

The other four people inside the room noticed this and remained silent. They had to at least respect her pain.

The silence continued for a few more seconds before the girl recovered to look at the four people with determination.

"All right. Continue the investigations into what happened to my brother, and leave the country under my command for the moment, all right? I'll make this afternoon's speech to the populace myself."

"Right." The four people agreed at the same time.

Then they talked some more. But since she was not feeling very well, the meeting was closed and the four of them left.

After that, the teenage-looking girl stood up and then went to the window of her room.

"Idiot brother.." She said again as tears streamed down her face.
