Chapter 1 : Yuri-chan gets betrayed, pulls off a Mulan, and it's not even midday!

Nagito-kun seemed barely phased by my scream, instead burrowing his head in the pillows.

"No. Later. You don't want to know."

Errr....

"You don't. Want to know."

If you say so ?

Uweeee, I'm confused right now ...

I was in the garden after attacking that hero party and then the Queen took control. I don't really know what happened, but now I'm sharing bed with Nagito-kun?

It's pretty improper, if you ask me.I hope Joou-sama didn't do anything too extreme...

A hand grabbed the back of my frilly nightgown and dragged me back to bed.

U-Uwah ?

N-Nagito-kun, now's really not the...

"Too early for that. Sleep."

How do you want me to sleep when your arm's over me like that?! Let me goooooo....

Uuuu, you stupid caaaaaaaat !

...

Morning came, and I finally got to kick him out of my room. Seriously, I need to speak to him about boundaries! I look at my wardrobe and immediately notice something off. My room seems pretty... Normal ?

The queen sized bed, bookshelves filled with miscellaneous books, the vanity, the big wardrobe, a window and a chimney.

The problem lied in the facte that nothing expensive remained. Last time I was there, there were grimoires and ancient books lining the shelves  the vanity was almost crumbling under the jewelry, perfumes and beauty products, there were treasures lined up in the corners and all that stuff... The only thing added were clothes.

Those clothes, they're all super expensive, frilly, and lacy, and some of them are jewelled! There's one I'm pretty sure costs a small house's price !

Aaaah, calm down.

Breathe in, out, and count to ten.

Done.

I suppose, since in this world, I'm a member of the high nobility I should look the part ? Errr, the cheapest looking one... ah, my Lilia dress. Well, why not, that one I can put on without help. As I finished clothing myself and was brushing my hair, I received the strangest of guests.

Yosh, your highness-joou-sama ! Your dutiful servant, Magical, miraculous, pretty necromancer Lilia-tan is here with news !

What.

I can't think anything else when I see a twin tailed, magical girl outfitted version of myself. The only differences with my magical girl self would be the color scheme, from pink to dark violet, the accessories, all the hearts changed into skulls, and she looked positively undead.

Ummm, who are you ?

Ah! I'm sorry! You're the normal Yuri, aren't you ?

Yes. ... Pleased to meet you ?

Omigosh, you're so cuuuute! Like, you're looking like the little bunny I was experimenting on last week, so twitchy and plump and cuddly, too bad it ended with it exploding... Not that it will happen to us nuh huh , I'm an expert after all, and...

Necromancer ! Cease your babbling and come this instant!

Came Joou-sama's voice from the recesses of my mind. The bubbly necromancer stopped assaulting me with nonsense and pouted.

I'm sorry Yuri-tan, the queen calls and she gets cranky when she has to wait...

Now!

Okay, okay... See you later! I've got sooo many things I want to speak about !

I was then left alone in my mind, wondering what the hell happened here.

The brush wasn't in my hand anymore, and Nagito was currently doing my hair.

"...inded, seriously, spacing out like that..."

"Umm...."

"Yes ?"

"Nagito-kun... I know the Queen probably did something to keep you quiet about the details because she doesn't want me to mess her plans up, but is there anything relevant to our current situation that can tell me ?"

From the feel of it, he's braiding it.

"Haaa, I guess. Occidens fell into chaos because of a demon lord rampaging there, so we're currently building up our base in Septentrion. Meridiens isn't a concern anymore, and Oriens might be an option, but still isn't the best place to be at the moment."

"Because they'd put you on the throne the moment you set foot there ?"

"I was hoping you'd forget that. Yes it is."

I played with my fingers for a bit.

"Well, if we're staying home, it feels a bit like a vacation, right?"

"I wouldn't bet on it, but yes, the last week has been pretty calm...."

"Your highneeeeess!!!" An annoying voice sounded out from behind the door.

I could almost feel Nagito-kun's despair as his fingers froze on my head.

"... Save for the idiotic adventurer group that I kept you from killing. Why did I do it again?"

That's a pretty good question.

"Muuu, maybe you felt the need to act as a moral compass ? Since the Queen doesn't have any?"

The door slammed open, and we were gratified with the sight of the stupid adventurers I didn't get to kill/maim/scare away. Aaaah, fanaticism is such a pain? I feel for you Nagito-kun. They will follow you everywhere, being useless at best or just plain liabilities, and they'll act like wounded puppies if you insinuate they are bothering you...

So, right now , they were all googly eyed at seeing us. I don't really get it, I mean, we're together, so that much should be right ? I don't really know.

I can hear the headache coming.

"Y-Your highness... What is she doing here ?"

Waaaa? I don't like his tone! And I feel fingers digging into my scalp. Okay okay, nothing excessive, sheesh, who do you take me for ? So I did what was the most effective, I pouted shamelessly.

"Eeeeeh, I thought it would be a given that I would be here, it's my house after all..."

The magician girl put her hand in front of hero-guy's mouth before he gave me an occasion to beat him up...

... Wait a minute.

Berser-tan ? What are you doing here ?

.... .

Ehh ? Why ?

.... .

Er, wow, I didn't think Yuri-jo had it in her.

... ?

But really, through your chamber's wall ?

... .

Well, if it's like that, it can't be helped, I suppose. Could you keep the destructive intent at a minimum ? I like my house in one piece you see?

... .

The headache disappeared, and everybody seemed to calm down. Berser-tan really has a special presence, ne?

"I don't think you'd ever be able to get past the house's protections without being turned to red paste, so I'll take a wild guess and think it's Nagito-kun's fault. What do you want, now."

The magician girl's expression became annoyed, but she answered nonetheless. He he, be annoyed at me all you want, you guys can't do anything about it a-ny-ways.

"Since we found the rightful prince of the country, we now have to escort him back to the capital for him to take his place on the throne. We originally intended to wait, but since the situation has become really tense and the demon king has started his advance there is no time left. We communicated this place's coordinates already and reinforcements should arrive in the hour, so please, cooperate with us. I'm sorry to say it to you, princess, but your presence is also required as a ... guarantee, that Meridiens won't attack us."

Aaaah, your Highness, what the hell did you do now ?

If they could send their message, that means they were allowed to.

Meaning that my pretty house is going to be raided...

Now that I think about it, that might me why my valuables are hidden away.

I say nothing, and instead wait for Nagito's rebuttal.

That doesn't come.

Well, sh*t.

"Eeeeeh, Nagito-kun, you agree with them, or she put you to it ?"

"... I... think it would be safer there. Occidens is close to the demon country after all."

Awww, Nagito-kun, your finger twitched again... So I'm going to be a captive princess ey? I really don't see how that could go wrong. Well, I suppose it's okay to have your own agenda, but you forgot that you're staying with me out of your own free will, so the same will go with me...

"Aaaah, you guys are really, really annoying, you know ? Fine, everybody out. I don't want to finish clothing myself in front of a bunch of abductors , if I can help it. That goes for you too Nekota-kun."

Back to a last name basis, that should properly show him how annoyed I am with him. Negative reinforcement and all that.

He finally releases me, and I can see him avoiding my eyes. Aww, he feels guilty now... It's okay Nagito-kun, I won't hold a grudge for that. Welp, now I'm alone in my room. I look closer into my wardrobe, I hope that wasn't moved ... Ah ! There it is ! My panic box ! Clothes I filched from Nagito-kun, some change of clothes, money, random stuff, dried rations and a pair of scissors, plus a spear and a sword for self defense hidden behind said wardrobe.

I liked having long hair, but that's not really recommended now.

So, sayonara

*Snip**Snip**Snip*

Uwaa, my head feels lighter now it's shoulder length. I tie it up in a high ponytail, burn the excess in the chimney and put on my hooded cloak. They're probably expecting me under the window, since it's near the stables, so I logically have to use the door. Luckily, there's only the fighter dude there. He looked behind him and his eyes widened. Too bad. A punch in the throat was enough to send him to dreamland. Getting out of here was pretty easy, secret passages and all, and now I was running alone in the forest. Pretty cold now, since we're in October, but since it's still morning, it should heat up.

Sei Twins, please keep an eye on my bodily needs.

Yes sir.

Necro-lily...

yaaaa, That name is so cute, thanks a bunch Yuri-tan!

... Cloak us, we need to evade Nagito-kun's air magic.

Okie-dokie.

Lancer, fencer, I'll be in your care.

Finally!

Indeed.

Sorry Nagito-kun, but in the stories, I'd be the princess that pushes down the evil witch down the stairs, loots the place, and flies on the guardian dragon's back while the place is burning to look for adventure.

So I'll leave you on your own for that one.

But it's okay, you're strong, so you'll manage without me for a while, ne?

As If I'm ever gonna let myself become a damsel in distress.

Hmph, I shall let you know this as a reward for your behavior. Ai is currently attacking Mana, so going to Occidens is safe for now.

Sheesh, I can't even go look for that blasted ring either...I stomp angrily to the ground as I quicken my pace.

Pretty princess in a castle, my finely shaped butt !

The nerve of those people !

----------------------------------------

New arc coming !

And the long announced separation came !

So Yuri's on her own with her selves now.

Whatever could go wrong ?
