Kamila wasn't simply disappointed, no. She was actually fucking mad! Everything she worked so hard for... She is a perfectionist and hates it when things don't go her way.

"...It's time to say goodbye." Remembering all the extra work makes her furious.

She had a plan. It was a great plan to get what she wanted. ―But that damned bard had to ruin everything with her summoning! Circa really surprised her with that one. Granted it saved her a lot of trouble by opening the tomb for them, since she overestimated their mage; stupid boy couldn't even do such a simple thing! After all the trouble of getting rid of the dragon, the party she chose was useless. ―But then the demon decided to tag along!

Now that was weird, for it to volunteer like this after completing its job. She didn't know what to think and was worried It was up to something - it was a risk. But Kamila decided she could make some use of the little shit. As long as it stayed quiet and out of the way -she made sure of that. So she weighed in her support for bringing it along.

Shouldn't have done that. Should have just disposed of them and go find herself another team. Nothing went according to plan after that, even if she still got it in the end...

Finding a good aligned party like this -with no clerics, wasn't easy.

She worked so hard to prepare the path for those weaklings. Setting it up so they would get chased by the guardians all the way to the cavern - unobstructed by the more powerful undead, where they would then seek shelter in that fake temple. She knew at least the warrior would be able to get past the wards, as he was a pious believer. ―Then she could have him bring out the crown to 'save' them.

Setting up runes to prevent the temple's guardians from raising from their graves was stressful, still she made it work perfectly.

But that little piece of rosy shit had to ruin everything! After the fiasco at the bridge the red fucker tried to wake up every damned skeleton in the dungeon with its stupid trap idea, wrecking all the preparations she's made to ensure that at least the warrior could make it too the end - her runes didn't account for it detonating mana implosions in the rooms below! Just remembering it makes her blood boil.

The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.

"No, I prom-" She shuts the annoying thing up with her boot. The powerful protectors in this cavern are waking up after the ring was taken, she doesn't have much time for its nonsense...

-He promised? What a joke. It was going to get all the kids killed! She was forced to go and dispose of all the powerful enemies, while the stupid adventurers rested. She was livid! Was that it? The thing was doing it on purpose? Bastard broke her influence, realized what was going on and did it to spite her instead of ratting her out. Aargh! Whatever, she has what she came here for. Even if things didn't go according to plan.

"No time gotta run, so-" Hmm? She realized something then. The roses... Right that makes sense. "Say hello to your bitch queen from me, 'Red'"

Could things get any worse? Yes, they fucking could...

It was one of HER flowers—. The roses were a dead giveaway! If it knew, then of course the red jerk would have sabotaged the plan and then later went back to hell to rat on her. SHE would know then that someone was collecting the rings. That's a scary thought... Shit! How did it slip her mind...

Just let it die—

Fuck! It can still tell on her, she can't send him back - She paused.

...

Why did she even bring the thing down with them!? She turns to Circa. -It's all this girl's fault!

All of that went through her head again in just a moment - right as she was about to murder Circa for messing things up for her. She blinked confused. ―Wait I was just about to send this little red cunt back to hell... Back to queen cunt herself. What is wrong with me? She froze in her step. Something is... My head—

-It's fine! somehow it's still here... barely. I can still trap it in the mortal realm. Hurry!―

Suddenly she was assaulted by black vines with thorns enchanted by chaos, some going for her eyes - a sneak attack.

—It was just playing dead!?

"Oh! You piece of―" I'm going too murder you.. No! I have to keep it here. Kamila tried to cast the seal that would prevent the demon's soul from escaping to hell, but the chaos energy made it difficult. Arrgh, she can't just kill this motherfucker, or everything will go to hell! So she just tears the vines to pieces and―

There's a tug on her belt -Wait, where is the ring?

She looks down at the almost dead demon― Only then realizing that all the ambient mana around them was suddenly gone... And the little shit *exploded! himself with a flash of strong Ice magic in a suicide attack. ―What the actual fuck?

...

Everything went to hell. Literally...

Angry tears froze.
