The Dark Rebirth of Pandora: Revenge of the Abyss-Chapter 203: Leadership, party and cuteness

I walk through the corridors with Zephyra, and automatically all the maids are enchanted by my cuteness. They can’t stop looking and commenting on how cute I am to the maids next to them.

I ignore the murmurs as I climb the floors with Zephyra. In a way, this attention is nice because it shows the effect my cuteness has on others.

I simply kick the door to the throne room, not out of ignorance, but because I can’t reach the doorknob, which ends up being too high in this room to the point where I can’t reach it.

I quickly go to the throne and think about the best way to highlight my cuteness to use it to my advantage.

"Zephyra, sit on the throne. I’ll give you the privilege of sitting at the top of an entire race," I say to Zephyra, and she obeys. Zephyra seems a bit silly, being enchanted by the cuteness.

Showing that it’s a very good weapon, I normally use intimidation and authority, so it’s interesting to know other paths like this.

"Achlys, sit on Zephyra’s lap." Achlys emerges from the shadows and sits on Zephyra’s lap, as if ordering her.

’I wonder if it was Zephyra who put clothes on Achlys... she did a great job, the little black and white dress looks very good.’ I start using [Essence of Creation] to modify my dress, which was too big for me.

"What do you think, Zephyra?" I filled the dress with cute frills and ruffles. It’s not something I like, but life isn’t just about using and getting what you like. Cuteness is the current strong point, so I have to maximize it as much as possible.

"I-It’s so cute and sweet that I think you can get diabetes just by watching it."

"Perfect!" I sit on Achlys’ lap, thus forming a "staircase" focused on size. Zephyra is beautiful and cute, Achlys is also very cute and has a coldness in her expression that highlights her.

And I, who am now small and exuding cuteness in the front, I think I can highlight the cuteness to the maximum.

"Zephyra, hug Achlys’ waist, and Achlys, hug mine." They do so, making the scene as cute as possible.

I start emanating a lot of mana so that my servants come to the throne room. Waiting a moment, the first to arrive is Lilith, who obviously, as soon as she sees me, has a stupid smile and starts drooling with a perverted expression.

"Y-Your Majesty, you are so cute!" Lilith Nix Kaos bow while saying this at the same time.

’That bitch...’ It was really humiliating for her to take advantage of the first chance she had.

"Lilith... I’ll cut the funding of your church by 50% and also cut your sleeping and procrastination time by 75%." Lilith makes a shocked face. Lilith is pretty lazy, usually sleeping if she’s not working.

Except she sleeps more than she works.

"...Okay, Your Majesty."

"If you try to lift me off the ground again and suffocate me with your breasts, I’ll forbid you from sleeping for the next few years."

"!!!!"

"I-I see that your cruelty has not diminished at all, Your Majesty," Nix says with a serious expression.

Soon Elena and Freya arrive, and they get stuck at the door, watching me. Freya quickly recovers and just walks to the front of the throne and kneels, while Elena blushes with embarrassment and averts her gaze. freēnovelkiss.com

Then Calypso arrives.

"Y-Your Majesty!! What happened to you?" Calypso says very loudly, pointing at my body.

’Cuteness doesn’t affect the idiots?’

"You’re so cute!"

’Forget it, it does affect them.’ She hadn’t expressed the reaction I expected, and her color hadn’t changed, but it was only for a moment, and soon the color of her emotion became as expected.

"Anyway, I want to make an announcement to the kingdom. I’m going to raise the morale of our troops and formally congratulate them on the excellent work in both the war and the construction of the kingdom."

"Some flaws can be improved, such as the current water supply, which is not yet perfect, but that’s for the future."

"Elena, how is the satisfaction of the people?" I ask Elena.

"It’s great, Your Majesty. The beastmen have also been completely moved to the city, and the reward pleased the soldiers who chose their favorite girls."

"Although the beastmen are not very satisfied, since their treatment is only slightly better than that of slaves."

"...To me, it’s a victory," I tell her. I don’t care about the satisfaction of the beastmen. They have to be grateful for not being just lab rats or food.

Besides, their lives are better than those of slaves, at least their life, food, housing, and water are guaranteed.

"Can you prepare everything now so I can make an announcement? And call Aokitsu." I’ll use her to further highlight how much the beastmen owe me.

"Of course, Your Majesty. The castle is well-equipped, so it should be possible to broadcast to the entire city system for a few hours without any problem."

’System... I have to look into that a bit later.’ I have to try to increase my administrator authority in the system.

"Perfect. Then as soon as this meeting is over, you’ll prepare everything while I take a bath and look as cute as possible."

"Your Majesty, may we know why you are... well... so cute?" Freya asks a little hesitantly.

"...I’m going through a growth phase from child to teenager. I’ll soon return to my larger form, so I’ll only be cute for a few days."

"Your Majesty also has your birthday party. As you wanted a celebration tonight, we’ve invited several important demon nobles from each territory," Lilith and Nix say together, informing me.

’...Party...’

"Will Elena’s mother be there?"

"Yes," Freya confirms.

"Okay, we’ll deal with the party issue later. For now, let’s focus on other matters. Tell the maids to prepare the dress and other things for the party."

"And regarding Thalor as a traitor and now as a dead person, he loses all his rights to his functions, so we’ll be going through some changes."

I summon Aokitsu with the shadows, teleporting her by force to the throne room.

"..." She stares at me.

"Y-You... what happened to you?" She asks, but her tail moves and her color changes, showing that she finds me cute.

"Aokitsu, I’m going to give you a promotion opportunity. I’ll give you a territory, and you’ll be able to command and train my armies."

’She’s too stupid for that, but I know how to make her useful and smart in that sense.’ She can’t betray me thanks to the system, so even though her race could try to betray me, Aokitsu herself would never be able to do such a thing.

"W-Why would you do that? I’m... stupid," she says in a self-deprecating way, after all, I made sure to show that to her in our fight.

"I know you are, you’re a pretty stupid animal, but even animals can learn if they’re taught well. That’s why you’ll be under the jurisdiction and control of Freya."

"Freya will teach you, because even though you’re stupid, you have a lot of talent, and I’m not someone who wastes talent. You’re much more than a mere maid."

"If you show your worth, you can improve the situation of your people. Wouldn’t you like that?" Aokitsu has a hopeful look.

To me, Aokitsu as a reincarnated goddess is very valuable. If she learns to command my army, she will become a formidable ally who is incapable of betraying me.

And Freya is a great teacher.

"Listen well, Aokitsu. Your routine is going to change completely. First, your job as a maid will be 4 hours, then you’ll spend 4 hours studying strategy with Elena."

"And then you’ll spend another 4 hours studying with Freya on how to govern, how to structure a kingdom, and how to truly perform your duties. The rest of the time you’ll use to review what you’ve learned and rest."

"I want to see progress in this. Also, any decision you make must be approved by Freya first."

I could give the territory and command of my armies to Freya, but Freya is not suitable for commanding armies as a general, and she also can’t control two large territories without exhausting herself too much.

This is the job of two people. Elena could be an option, but she’s too weak for that and is also the type of strategist who isn’t fit to enter the fight directly like Thalor could.

So Elena is better off staying put, leading safely, while Aokitsu has the talent, the strength, and all she lacks is a good education, as the beastmen don’t have a good education.

However, this can change. If Aokitsu is taught strategies, taught to lead and govern, she will become a monster in this regard, and she cannot betray me, so all this potential is mine.

Also, by encouraging her with improvements for her people, she will strive to the maximum. I don’t mind improving the situation of her people if it earns me a smart and powerful general.

"T-Thank you, Your Majesty," she bows, crying with happiness. The news must be great for her, after all, she has a great love and appreciation for her people.

"Aokitsu, that’s not how good animals thank." She raises her head.

"Come here and lick my feet." Aokitsu comes to me and kneels in front of me. She carefully holds my leg and removes my cute little shoe.

She lifts my foot and licks it carefully, her body trembling a little as she humiliates herself.

"Good girl," I praise her, stroking her head, and her tail moves with a little excitement.

The reason for doing this to Aokitsu... is pure sadism and to show her that I’m in control.

She puts my shoe back on and steps back, remaining bowed next to the others.

’W-Why does Lilith seem excited about this?!’ This clueless pervert, I didn’t know she was so much of a lolicon.

"Y-Your Majesty, I deeply appreciate the opportunity. I won’t let you down!" Aokitsu says with determination. She doesn’t seem to mind being humiliated, she’s just grateful to have such a chance.

"I hope so, Aokitsu. I’m trusting your talent, so don’t disappoint me... after all, your people depend on you."

"If I see that you’ve failed... I’ll reduce you to a sex slave and hand you over as a breeding ground for monsters, using you only when wars happen to obtain the buff you have."

"I’m sure I’ve heard about Liona and her situation. You don’t want to end up like her, do you?"

"N-No, I swear I won’t disappoint you!!" She speaks quickly, a certain fear appearing in her color. What happened to Liona is something no woman wants to go through.

"Good." If she fails, I’ll really put her to be a breeding ground along with Liona. In any case, whether she’s broken or not, she’s still useful for her buff, and if I give her to Shogo, she can still use her buff.

But I don’t want to have to do that. She is very useful as a commander and fighter, so I will trust her potential not to fail.

And in the end, I’m 99% sure she can lead, because she was once a goddess, even if she doesn’t remember.

"All of you are dismissed. I will speak with my wife, and I want privacy. Aokitsu, you can go with Freya. She will now act as your superior and teach you while you prepare the broadcast."

"Understood, Your Majesty... Have a happy birthday." They all repeat in a way that seems almost choreographed, and then they start to leave.

’It was a success. All of them couldn’t stop focusing on my cuteness.’ Even Aokitsu liked licking my feet. Her color was full of something that showed that I’m so cute that it doesn’t matter if she licks my feet.

"P-Pandora, what do you need?" Zephyra asks a little nervously, while Achlys hides in the shadows.
