[Seleca's POV]
"Wah! The undead clan? And you’re a prince!"
Wait, I was saved by a Prince... A crown prince.
Hmm.
"Yah but we lived in a secluded forest where we are far from other civilization. We cannot live with others because they think our clan as something impure." (Grachiel)
"Hmm? Why is that?"
"Well maybe because of our own magic and also the influence of the light clan." (Grachiel)
"Well, thanks for bringing me."
"Haha! You’re not going to be a freeloader when we get there!" (Grachiel)
"I know that!"
It's been three months since our departure from the city.
We traveled by carriage Grachiel-san was using.
True, considering the undead clans reputation, it was known as a clan of variant demons.
Also, from this three months, I know the real personality of Grachiel-san which is very different from oniisama. He doesn't care about social standing, clan, and he isn't a person that will use you. Grachiel-san is already 15 year old, soon he will be married to someone in his clan, and well during these journey I kind of felt something. But! I removed it from my mind because we're different.
"We're here!" (Grachiel)
"Hoo~!"
A very dark forest.
Inside the forest, are a huge kingdom with the shade of black, sunlight is limited only on some part where vegetation grows. Also, so many people cloth in black.
"Let's go!" (Grachiel)
"Wai-wait! What will your clan do if they know a person in a different clan entered?"
"Ahh! No worries, this clan doesn't care about that, unless they felt your trouble or doing something wrong. The trees will tell us that." (Grachiel)
"Trees?"
As I look into a dark tree, I saw a yellow eye blink.
"KYAA!!! GRACHIEL-SAN!! WHAT IS THAT??"
"Oh, those are Treants, Come on! I need to report to father." (Grachiel)
"The...KING!!!"
"Yah!" (Grachiel)
And we continue towards the undead kingdom.
"I'm back father." (Grachiel)
"I see you've bring someone." (Undead King)
"Well, she's a friend of mine I met on my journey, she doesn't have a place to stay so she stayed close to me." (Grachiel)
"Hmm, and what is the purpose of that? Of bringing her here in the undead territory." (Undead King)
"Well, I don't know hahaha!" (Grachiel)
"*grachiel-san..."
I whispered to him.
"*sigh, you always do things your way, well do what you want." (Undead King)
This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.
"Niceu! Thanks father!" (Grachiel)
"*sigh." (Undead King)
Seems he is pretty loved by his father.
"Ah! Your back!" (Undead queen)
"Mother!" (Grachiel)
And his mother.
"Ara~ who is this little lady?" (Undead queen)
"Hmm, this is Seleca, she's a friend of mine I met on my journey." (Grachiel)
"Oh, well nice to meet you little girl, Seleca." (Undead queen)
"It's an honor to meet you too."
"We'll I'm tired, I'll go to my room." (Grachiel)
"Okay dear!" (Undead queen)
Grachiel-san entered a different room and walk toward a long hallway.
He stops in front of a door.
"Ah! You can sleep here tonight but find an inn where you can stay tomorrow! So bye!" (Grachiel)
"Huh?"
"Hmm, thought I told you you’re not a freeloader, also find a job tomorrow." (Grachiel)
Well he's right.

"So I want to sign in as an adventurer or some sort?!"
"Ah, uhm, lady. Do you know the reputation of undead adventurers?" (Receptionist)
"Hmm? Nope!"
"Ah! Well, only a few people in the undead clan are registering as adventurers so I don't think you can earn when you register as an adventurer." (Receptionist)
Hmm. Seems it's a no, since I left the fire clan and I was known dead I can't return to being a member of the fire clan. Since I was used by them, I want to remove my connection from them so I indulge myself in the undead culture.
"Well, the kingdom needs manpower right now." (Receptionist)
"Hmm, maybe I'll ask him about it."
So I entered the castle without even the guards noticing.
Well, the trees don't tell cause they already know I, acquainted with the prince.
"Hmm, then want to be my supervisor?" (Grachiel)
"Supervisor?"
"Well father want me to find one, since it's a very heavy task of finding a person guess you would be fine." (Grachiel)
Well, that's an excuse, what a lazy person.
"I don't know about that, since I am not yet acquainted with the customs of the undead clan and I am an outsider."
"Well you’re a princess right, you’re the right person." (Grachiel)
"Ah! Well, hmm...."
"I'll take that as a yes then hehe!" (Grachiel)
"Ah!"
Then he ran straight to his father, well his father can't reject his son.
Being the supervisor of the Prince is a huge task. I've been accumulating time in the royal library of the undead clan and started to learn them one by one, customs, culture, magic, and even the history.
Well at first it is a real bother but it was fun when I was with Grachiel-san.
"Royal supervisor! Seleca! I hereby shall give you power." (Undead King)
Then I gained a power of the undead clan. Since I have a different element inside me, since I didn't gain it with godly powers, the godly undead ritual destroys my fire element. My hair turns white my ears got longer, also my race change to a succubus, I've got the power Blood sabbath from the goddess Lilith.
Then afterwards, I've been a part of the undead clan for these years.
Grachiel-san bought a woman, a woman from a different clan.
I thought that he helped another one like me or something.
But he announce it in front of the throne as someone he loves, a woman he wants to marry.
I was shook from that announcement.
"I will not permit that thing! I accept that fire child to be in this clan but to marry a person from a different clan, that is something blasphemous. A life clan! A life clan... A clan opposite to our clan. At first when you bring that fire child I though your also saying of marrying her since you both are so close to each other, but since it didn't happen but you both create a brother and sister relationship I was glad. But to think it actually happen on some point in your journey! I cannot permit it. And now! I'll forbid you on continuing your journey any further. Now Go!" (Undead King)
"But father!!!" (Grachiel)
"Grachiel!! I think I told you to go." (Undead King)
Grachiel didn't even talk back but ran outside the dark forest never returned.
According to Gunther-san, they know the location of the runaway prince together with her beloved. All the generals that acquainted with him followed him, of course I followed Grachiel-san because I don't like to be separated from him.
And a child was born, I don't know why but the child was in a sort of curse, she was in a deep sleep because of some curse.
We stayed in an abandoned village, later on a letter for the generals and for the Prince from the undead clan kingdom, the kingdom needed help.
I don't know what exactly happened but, the Prince and the life woman go leaving their child, asking us generals to lead the rest to protect the child.
Reports came, the undead clan are now gone, all are dead.
We are the only people left from the clan.
I didn't see the child, but years passed she was enclosed in a magic item coffin, then she woke up.
Then I saw her face for the first time, a beautiful glistening silky purple hair with silver strands, and the peculiar one is her eyes, green and purple. After she awakened, she immediately undergo the ritual, we saw her status but Merry tell us don't be bothered by her status.
Ever since I saw her, she reminds me of someone, it's my twin sister which I adore so much. Even though they don't look alike, they have the same personalities, kind, smart, childish, and also a shy person. When I was assigned as her teacher I was so excited and after teaching her, I felt this sensation of great pleasure from hearing her calling me teacher.
We generals swore to protect this princess, all us remains of the undead clan.
