"You're in the capital, within the residence of the leader that governs entire races. Or in other words the most heavily guarded palace around."

As she glances around the room it felt like her presence engulfed the room, displaying authority and demanding respect. Her poker face revealed nothing but her fingers were subtly grabbing the cuff of her long sleeved shirt.

" It's safer closer to me than away. Not everyone knows of your presence here....and of that, not many approve"

ah, well It took less than I thought I would for me to get caught.All powerful ruler of demons aside, I suppose I shouldn't drag this out.

" I understand I won't try to run anymore, you got me." Hands raised in the air I walk out until I'm a few feet away from her

Her eyebrow twitched.

"You make it sound like you're a prisoner"[Demon lord]

"Forcibly taken from my world? Does that not scream kidnapping to you?"

" I admit the method is crude.." [Demon Lord]

"Correct me if I'm wrong but I had this feeling that you are going to involve me in your problems? So I'm abducted and will be forced to work....feels more like a slave"

She tightens the grip on her shirt

"It was necessa-"[Demon Lord]

"Hold on a minute"

Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

After stopping her I take a deep breath.

"Ok, I got it out of my system. I'm still getting used to the whole idea so..let me get away with that much "

"This...?"[Demon Lord]

"It's not every day I visit a different world," I say that while slowly sitting down on the floor

"I..suppose you're right" [Demon Lord]

"Besides, you did what any person would do. when backed against a wall you reached out for any help you can get and fortunately, or rather unfortunately it worked...and you ended up with me. If someone went as far as to roll the dice and summon a stranger to help them then I should at least make an effort to hear them out and help If I can."

Whether or not I believe this, I'm not sure. This is simply too out of the norm for me to properly deal with. Whether I help them from the goodness of my heart or because I'm afraid of death, does it really matter?

ah. I'm thinking about nonsense again.

She sits on the floor as well. I'm sitting with my legs crossed while she is sitting with her legs under her and her hands on her lap, from this distance I just have to reach out so I can touch her.

Silence drowned the room. She was lost in thought staring blankly at the floor. I, on the other hand, watched her before letting my gaze wander around the room.

"trust..." Mumbling she looks straight at me

"You never once felt safe or believed a word I said..the friendliness on the way to the palace that was an act right?"[Demon Lord]

With a bitter smile, I reply

"I'm not sure what to say"

" The fault lies with me.... I assumed if I rationally explain, then you would understand. But there is nothing rational about being taken to a different world is there? and to make matters worse I responded to your act with an act, as if we were putting on a show! "[Demon Lord]

A lovely laugh escapes her lips

"A relationship is built on trust. We don't even know a thing about each other ! and yet I asked you for so much.I apologize for everything up until now not as the demon lord but as a person. Is it possible to start over ?"

She says with a small smile

For the first time since I came here, I felt comfortable.

" I would love nothing more"

She reaches out her hand

"Then without further ado. It's nice to meet you, my name is Stella"

In a room in a different world, a hero and a demon lord talked about anything that came to mind.
