Seimaden Volume 3: Part 3 Translated by: Soujirou no Miko --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 96 Jiji: These demons are behaving so strangely, why are they hovering above? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 97 Zadei: It is their way of showing respect. After all, he was once their most senior leader! Zadei: Those lower-class demons are like that. Not much brains, but they know when to show respect. Zadei: Looks like, Zadei: His highness have arrived. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 98 Tetei: % ---Ah! % --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 99 Tetei: % What a majestic and graceful aura. % --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 100 Tetei: With thousands of demons at your beck and call---that is your true self! Tetei: Reminds me of the way things once were when I swore my oath of fealty to you. Zadei: *annoyed* Jiji: ! Zadei: Hn. Jiji: So you too have weakness of the flesh? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 101 Zadei: Such an obedient little boy, to come to us so meekly. Zadei: Is that girl really so important to you? Laures: What do you want? Zadei: Your life, of course? Shouldn’t that be obvious by now? Zadei: Only, it’ll be no fun if I just kill you here and now. Laures: You have the winning hand. Zadei: Huh? Does that mean you’ll do anything I ask without resisting? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 102 Laures: Only if you return Hilda. Zadei: Ha, only an idiot would believe that! Zadei: Unless, you grovel aat my feet. Then I’ll believe you. Tetei: Zadei! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 104 Zadei: Ha....wahaha! Zadei: You would abandon your dignity for a mere woman? You’re just a scrap of trash! Laures: How could I have such a trivial a thing as dignity? Zadei: Jiji, it’s time to hand him over to Berk. He’s probably itching with impatience already! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 105 Zadei: Relish the loving treatment he will give you. Provided that you don’t try anything foolish, I guarantee that she would be safe and sound. Zadei: I want to see just how long you can keep your fabulous dignity! Zadei: Teteiyusu, you come with me! Zadei: What are you standing there for? Hurry up, idiot! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 106 Tetei: % Enjoy your moment of power as it lasts, Zadei!% Tetei: % I will show you what fate has in store for a stupid fool like you.% Tetei: % The reason behind why I corrupted this city, is not something one as witless as you can understand. % Tetei: % Whoever dares to stop Laures, I will destroy. Even if it costs me my life! % --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 107 Jiji: ....beauty.... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 108 Jiji: It’s so good to be beautiful! Jiji: It only needs to look beautiful to be loved, only to look beautiful.... Jiji: This slender swan-like neck only needs one twist from these coarse hands of mine to break.... Zadei: What are you doing? Jiji: Zadei! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 109 Zadei: A suspicious looking character! Zadei: Hm, she really is the splitting image of Erise. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 110 Zadei: You’re awake now, little cat? Hilda: Aaaah..... Zadei: Ouch! Zadei: What did you do that for? You feisty mare! Not anything like Erise at all. Hilda: What do you want? Demon! Hilda: You’ll be asking for it if you dare come near me again! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 111 Zadei: % To be able to stare back at me without fear, and with such defiance. % Zadei: % Looks like she sin’t one of those fragile females. No wonder Laures is so enamored with her. % Zadei: You’ve caught my eye, good woman. Zadei: I wonder what Laures’s expression would be like if I molested you? Zadei: Only joking. You are, after all, our valuable hostage! Hilda: Laures....where is he? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 112 Zadei: That fool, whenever it’s something to do with you, he turns into a complete jackass. Zadei: With you as hostage, he can’t do anything but meekly obey. Hidla: Laures was caught? Hilda: Where is this place? Zadei: Berk’s castle. Hilda: Berk’s castle? Hilda: Can it be....back when he came to save me, he was already targeted? Zadei: Exactly! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 113 Hilda: That perverted baron! Zadei: Whate are you planning to do? Hilda: Out of the way, demon. I have to go to Laures! Zadei: Don’t be silly! Hilda: What did you do to me? Hilda: % ---can’t summon any strength % Zadei: How vexing. You seem to have forgotten that you’re an important hostage, my most valuable trump card. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 114 Zadei: Also, you said I was a demon. Zadei: If I’m a demon, then Laures is undeniably one too! Hilda: Don’t say that, Laures is nothing like you! Zadei: We are alike. Zadei: If there is one difference between us, Zadei: It is that he is an even crueller demon than me, in my opinion. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 115 Hilda: I don’t want to hear anymore! Hilda: Unless I see it with my own eyes, hear it with my own ears Hilda: Otherwise I don’t believe anything you say! Zadei: ---it’s up to you whether you believe it or not. Hilda: --- Man: Kukuru! Kukuru: Uncle! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 116 Kukuru: What happened? You look pale. Man: Something bad’s happened, Kukuru, can you let me see Rodrique? Man: Hilda....she...she seems to have been abducted to demons. Kukuru: What! Man: Although I wasn’t there personally to witness it, I heard from a number of people nearby that there was a suspicious black shadow flying by. Man: That black shadow was heading straight towards Berk’s castle. To that terrifying lair of the demons! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 117 Sherril: Ah! Driver: Look where you’re going, missy. Driver: Huh? Why are you soaked to the skin? Where are you heading? Sherril: New Market Road, to Berk. Sherril: % Hilda, where are you? % Sherril: % If I go to Berk, I might find some clue as to her whereabouts. % --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 118 Berk: It’s so beautiful, it pushes one to the edge of sanity! Berk: The green of emeralds is the perfect companion to the long, lustrous hair of midnight black. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 119 Berk: So, I was thinking Berk: Perhaps if I add a dash of blood red here, it’ll be even more becoming. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 120 Laures: It’s not to my taste, but... Berk: Oh, so even demons can feel pain? Berk: What a captivating expression! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 121 Berk: You really are too perfect, Laures! Berk: Flawless! Berk: This will be your living quarters Laures: Silver demon weed? Berk: Yes, It’s said that if a demon gets near it, all his powers will be sucked dry. In you go! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 122 Laures: I felt that this place was turning into demon world, but for this sort of thing to grow... Berk: You won’t be able to escape Berk: In the days to come, you will learn to live for me, and do my bidding. Berk: I will take great care to treasure you, because I went through a lot of trouble to catch a beautiful thing like you. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 123 Laures: Hn! Laures: Whatever. Laures: % I better not act rashly % Laures: % For the sake of Hilda’s safety. % --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 124 Laures: % Hilda % Laures: % You are like the goddess who will lead me to the path of destruction....% Laures: % ----it doesn’t matter!

Laures: disgusting, Hilda? Hilda: % Laures! % Zadei: How about that. Know that I wasn’t lying to you now, Miss princess? Laures: Zadei, you.... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 129 Zadei: Hilda kept on calling me a demon, so I took the time to explain to her that her dear Laures is in fact of the same race! Zadei: How do you feel, now that you’ve seen it with your own eyes? He’s as genuine a demon as I! Laures: ---Hilda....I never wanted for you to see me ilke this. Hilda: Your head.... Hilda: Lift your head up, Laures! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 130 Hilda: This is not the you I know! Laures: % Hilda...% --------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 132 Hilda: Laures....Laures.... Laures: Why do you cry? Hilda: I love you, I love you so much!
