Demon Prince is Resurrected

Yuto woke up with a sore throat, he got up to get water, and when he grabbed the glass cup, he noticed that his hands were small, and his arms that had muscle were replaced with tender arms, he looked for the nearest mirror

He saw a beautiful young lady with long blonde hair and violet eyes that seemed dead, in a pink nightgown, Yuto's eyes widened as he looked at the reflection in the mirror

He could hardly believe what he was seeing as he lifted his hands and touched his face, feeling the smooth skin and delicately pointed features where masculine lines once were

"What the..." he said quietly, his voice coming out in a soft, feminine tone

"Mizuki!"

Only silence greeted his call, leaving him feeling even more confused and disoriented

He looked down at his hands again, still trying to accept the reality that he had somehow turned into a girl during the night, and worse he could not feel his connection to Mizuki

Knock knock

"Princess, are you okay?", a woman's voice was heard from behind the door

Yuto was startled at the sound of the voice, his mind still trying to process the situation, he took a deep breath before speaking up, doing his best to sound calm and composed

"Y-yes, I'm fine" he replied, his voice sounding softer than the usual deep husky voice that he had just gotten used to after turning 19

It shocked him how girly his voice sounded, the maid replied, "Okay Princess, please enjoy your rest", before leaving quietly

He touched his throat, feeling the unfamiliar sensation of his vocal cords producing a different pitch than what he was used to

"What in the world is happening to me?.. and where is Mizuki?" he muttered to himself

[-New Quest-]

-Find the traitor behind the death of the kingdom's Previous Sword Master

Yuto's thoughts were interrupted by a notification that suddenly appeared before his eyes, he read through the details of the new quest, a sense of surprise mixed with alarm in his mind

'Find the traitor?'

Yuto frowned as he read the words. He didn't understand how he had woken up in a different body, and now he had to find a traitor

[-SYSTEM-]

-Find a clue about your Father's death

Yuto blinked in surprise as the system's voice sounded in his mind once more

The mention of his father brought a pang to his heart, but his curiosity and determination to get answers overshadowed the grief momentarily

He clenched his fists, still trying to wrap his head around his current situation

"The traitor... who is it?" he muttered to himself

But an even bigger problem crossed his mind, "Can this body even fight?"

Yuto looked down at his new body once more, examining it closely, he noticed the difference in his strength and size, feeling much more petite and slender compared to his usual frame

"Can this body even fight?.. I don't know.." he mumbled to himself, feeling a sense of doubt and uncertainty creeping up on him

Yuto remembered the system could display information about this body's stats, class, and name, he closed his eyes for a brief moment and asked

"System, what's the name of this body?"

[-System-]

Rosalind Akira

"Rosalind.. Akira" he said slowly, the name still sounding foreign on his tongue

He then asked the system another question, "System, what are the stats and class of this body?"

Rosalind Akira

Class: No class

Title: Bratty Princess

Level: 1

Stats: Strength 2 / Defense 1 / Speed 2 / Mana 10 / Stamina 5 / Mentality 10,000

Yuto's eyes widened in surprise as he looked over the stats of this body

Compared to his former self, the stats of Rosalind were feeble, especially in the strength and defense department

"Strength 2?.. Defense 1?.. How can I even fight with these stats?" he murmured, feeling a sense of helplessness welling up in his chest

"Such shitty stats, a sheltered princess indeed"

He grumbled at the term "shelter princess", feeling irritated at the implication of being pampered and protected

"Is this me?.. So weak and useless" he muttered to himself, frustration and anger mixed in his voice

[-System-]

Class Quest is now available

The notification suddenly drew Yuto's attention from the system

He felt a flicker of hope ignite within him, as he remembered how classes were acquired through completing a class quest

"Class quest.. what is it?" he mumbled, mentally questioning the system

[-System-]

First Make some tea

Yuto was taken aback by the simplicity of the class quest, "Tea?.. really?" he said aloud, feeling a bit perplexed by the task

He looked to the side and saw a tea kettle on the table, "Well... I guess I can do that" he said determinedly, mentally accepting the quest

Yuto walked over to the table and picked up the tea kettle, he could barely even feel the weight of it, realizing how truly feeble this body was

He filled the kettle with water and placed it on the stove, waiting for it to heat up

While waiting, he rummaged through the cupboards looking for tea leaves, after finding the tea leaves, Yuto carefully placed them inside the kettle

He couldn't resist muttering aloud as he waited for the water to boil, "How humiliating. I've killed demons and beasts, and now I'm making tea.." he muttered under his breath

The kettle let out a piercing whistle, signaling that the water was boiled, Yuto quickly moved to take the kettle off the stove, his hands wrapping around the handle

He carefully poured the water into a cup, watching the leaves steep the water, turning it a golden

[-System Reward-]

+10 Stamina

Yuto heard the system's voice in his mind, announcing the reward he received from completing the quest

He felt a slight tinge of satisfaction from gaining 10 stamina, but still felt frustrated and restless from his current situation

"That's it?.. just 10 stamina?" he muttered to himself

[-System-]

-Next, Lift the sword on the wall for 10 minutes without dropping it

Yuto groaned a little at the system's next command, he looked across the room and saw a sword hung up on the wall, displayed as a decoration

"10 minutes?.. seriously?" he muttered under his breath, feeling a bit annoyed at the task

Yuto walked over to the sword, his slender arms raising to reach for it, he grabbed the handle of the sword carefully, feeling the cool metal against his skin

He lifted the sword, the weight of it surprising him for a moment

"Damn.. this thing is heavier than I thought" he mumbled, already feeling his arms straining slightly

Yuto grunted in frustration as he realized he couldn't even lift the sword off the ground, he tried harder, his arms shaking from the effort

"This.. is so pathetic!" he grumbled, feeling a mixture of anger and helplessness, the realization that he was weak in this body was a bitter pill to swallow

Yuto continued to struggle with the sword, his arms trembling and sweat forming on his forehead, he gritted his teeth, determined to lift it no matter what

But after 5 minutes of trying, he was forced to admit defeat, he let out a defeated sigh, letting the sword go

"Damn it.. this is impossible" he muttered, feeling the frustration boil up inside him

Yuto clenched his fists, the sound of the girlish voice grating on his nerves, "This voice. it's so damn irritating" he muttered under his breath

He was used to having a deep voice, and hearing this high-pitched girly tone come out of his mouth was maddening

Yuto breathed heavily, his arms trembling from exertion as he finally managed to lift the sword off the ground

He couldn't believe it took him 20 minutes to lift a mere sword, something that would've been easy in his old body

He kept the sword raised, knowing he needed to maintain it for another 10 minutes to fulfill the system's quest

Time seemed to slow down as he held it together the system started to count down

5 more seconds

Yuto gritted his teeth, beads of sweat trickling down his face as he continued holding the sword up

The seconds felt like hours, and with each passing moment his arms felt like they were about to give out

He closed his eyes, taking deep breaths to try and gather his strength.

'Come on... just 5 more seconds..', Yuto thought silently to himself

3 more seconds

Yuto's arms were shaking uncontrollably now, the sword starting to feel even heavier than before, he bit his lip, his eyes narrowing in determination

'Just.. 3 more seconds. I can do this..', he repeated to himself mentally

1 second

Yuto could feel his strength waning, his arms threatening to give out at any moment, every muscle in his slender arms was screaming in protest, but he gritted his teeth and pushed through

'One more... just one more second..', he thought, his whole being focused on holding the sword up

Ting

[-System Reward-]

+50 attack

+40 Stamina

Yuto heard the familiar chime of the system in his mind, signaling that he had officially completed the quest

He felt a surge of relief wash over him as the weight of the sword was suddenly lifted, the system rewarding him with increased attack and stamina

Collapsing onto a chair nearby, "Finally. it's over.." he panted out, feeling a mixture of physical exhaustion and satisfaction

The sword was now a bit easier to carry as he could lift it with one arm, the strength stat was showing seeing how such a frail arm now had a bit of muscle

Yuto observed his arm, noticing the subtle increase in muscle tone that had formed, he was surprised at how much of an effect the reward had given him

As he picked up the sword again, he noticed the difference in weight. It was still heavy, but not nearly as difficult as before

"Interesting.. this body is certainly responding to the rewards.." he mused aloud, a flicker of curiosity in his eyes

"Much faster than my old one," Yuto couldn't help but comment on the difference in speed between his old body and his current one

He held up his arm, inspecting it once more, "Incredible.. this current body seems to have the capability to be more agile and lighter than my old one," he said, a slight hint of annoyance in his voice

"But still, it can not compare to the destruction I could cause," Yuto sighed, feeling frustrated with his current limitations

"Compared to my old body, this one can hardly compare in terms of strength, durability, and destructive power," he said, his voice becoming weary

He felt a pang of helplessness, feeling like he was starting from scratch all over again

Knock knock

"Princess, it's time for your morning bath"

Yuto was pulled out of his thoughts by the sound of knocking on the door, he heard a maid's voice call out, announcing that it was time for his morning bath

He couldn't help but grimace a little, feeling a twinge of irritation at being referred to as "princess"

He replied in a reluctant voice, "Yeah, alright, I'm coming"

As he opened the door the maid immediately held his hand to disinfect and heal him with simple magic

Healing: Tier 1

"Your Highness, are you okay now?"

Yuto couldn't help but feel a bit uncomfortable with the maid addressing him with such honorifics

It was a constant reminder of his current predicament, he stood there for a moment, feeling awkward before replying in an aloof tone

"Yes, I'm okay thanks for asking.. but there's no need to refer to me as 'princess or your Highness'"

"B-but how dare a lowly man refer to you as anything else"

He let out a sigh, knowing that arguing with her would be useless, "Fine, fine.. lead me to the bath then" he grumbled, his voice laced with irritation

The maid nods as she leads Yuto to a separate room, as the other 2 maids open the giant door all Yuto can see is the massive bath in the middle

His eyes widened a little as he took in the sight of the massive bathtub, surrounded by lush plants and candles

"Wow.. this is a bit excessive, isn't it?" Yuto muttered under his breath, feeling a bit intimidated by the luxurious surroundings

It also hit him, he had only ever seen Mizuki naked before, being his lover and all, and the thought of being seen by someone else made him feel uncomfortable

'This feels wrong. like I'm cheating on her, he thought silently, his gaze darting around the room nervously

"But it's a quest, and if I close my eyes it's alright right?"

Yuto tried to convince himself that it was necessary for the quest and that it didn't count as cheating if he just closed his eyes

He slowly started to undress, his hands trembling a little out of nervousness

'Just close your eyes. Don't look. Just close your eyes, he repeated mentally to himself, trying to drown out his conflicted feelings

"Your Highness, do you want me to help you?", Rose the maid asked in a calm manner noticing Rosalind's embarrassed expression

Yuto froze, his hands pausing in the action of undressing, he hadn't expected the maid to offer to help him, and the thought of it made him feel even more uneasy

He swallowed hard before replying in a calm voice, trying to hide his inner turmoil, "No, that's alright. I can handle it on my own"

Rose the maid nodded respectfully and stepped aside, giving Yuto some privacy, he felt relieved as she gave him some space, his hands resuming the action of undressing

He took a deep breath and stepped into the bathtub, the warm water enveloping his body, he closed his eyes, reminding himself that it was just a quest and that he wasn't cheating on Mizuki

Rose knelt to help wash Yuto's long hair, Yuto felt self-conscious as Rose knelt beside the bathtub, offering to help wash his hair

He wasn't used to being pampered like this, and it felt a bit strange and awkward, he muttered a quiet "thank you" before leaning back and allowing the maid to wash his hair

As Rose washed his hair, Yuto closed his eyes and leaned back, trying to relax in the warm bathtub

The water soothed his "muscles", but his mind was still a mess of thoughts and emotions

He tried not to think about the strange situation he found himself in, instead focusing on the sensation of the water and Rose's gentle touch

Yuto sat there silently, letting her finish washing his hair, he couldn't help but feel a twinge of shame and embarrassment at having someone else take care of him like this

As Rose rinsed the soap from his hair, he forced himself to maintain composure and not let his true feelings show

"Your Highness, please raise your arms a bit"

Yuto tried to keep his cool as Rose announced that she would now wash his body, internally, he felt a surge of embarrassment at the thought of someone else soaping up his skin

He swallowed hard and nodded, trying to act as nonchalant as possible

"Uh, yeah.. go ahead.." he muttered, his voice betraying a hint of nervousness

Yuto felt a shiver run down his spine as Rose began to soap up his body, her hands moving across his skin

He did his best to keep his eyes closed and tried not to squirm under her touch, every second felt like an eternity, and he couldn't wait for it to be over

'Fuck fuck, system when I get my hands on you'

Yuto cursed inwardly as Rose continued to wash his body, his mind racing with frustration and annoyance, he couldn't help but feel anger building up inside him, directed towards the system that caused this situation

"When I get my hands on that system, I'm going to give it a piece of my mind.." he thought to himself, his jaw clenching tightly

"Is everything okay?"

Yuto snapped back to reality as the Rose's voice broke through his inner thoughts, he opened his eyes and looked at her, hoping that his frustration wasn't too obvious on his face

"Huh? Oh, yeah.. everything's fine. Just a bit tired, that's all" he replied, his voice betraying only a hint of irritation

Finally, it was over, after embarrassingly passing out in the bath and being taken to his room where he laid to rest

Yuto woke up in his bed, feeling disoriented and embarrassed after passing out during the bath, he groaned inwardly, feeling humiliated at the fact that he had to be carried back to his room like luggage

"How embarrassing. I can't even handle a simple bath without passing out", he thought to himself, feeling a mixture of shame and annoyance

[-System Quest-]

Sew a shirt

Yuto looked at the new system task that appeared in his mind, reading it with a mixture of annoyance and amusement

"Sew a shirt? Seriously?" he thought to himself, feeling a pang of irritation at the simple and mundane task

"What the hell is the system thinking, making me do something a little kid could probably do?", he grumbled silently, already feeling the urge to protest

Yuto let out a deep sigh, knowing that he had no choice but to comply with the task

He reluctantly got out of bed and headed to the wardrobe, searching through the assortment of dresses and gowns

"Where in the world did they hide the sewing supplies?" he muttered to himself, rummaging through the clothing items

"Your Highness, is something wrong?"

"You've been muttering words I cannot understand"

Yuto completely missed Rose who was looking at him with confusion, he jumped in surprise as he heard Rose's voice behind him

He turned around, realizing that he had been so focused on finding the sewing supplies that he hadn't paid any attention to his surroundings

"Uh, nothing's wrong. Just looking for something" he said, trying to sound casual as he continued searching through the wardrobe

"May I be of help?"

Yuto hesitated for a moment before nodding reluctantly

"Yes. I'm looking for some sewing supplies. Thread, needles, that sort of thing" he explained, feeling a bit ridiculous having to ask a maid for help with something so basic

"Um, your Highness, I mean no offense, but isn't that a maid's duty?"

"I know that. But I'd rather do it myself"

Rose bowed scared, "O-of course, I apologize, I'll get it right away"

Yuto watched Rose scurry off to get the sewing supplies, feeling a mix of annoyance and victory at her fearful response

He couldn't help but feel a pang of satisfaction at her deference, but also a tinge of guilt for making her cower like that

He shook his head, trying to push those thoughts aside as he waited for her to return

'How did the original owner of this body act?

Yuto pondered that question as he waited for her to return

He had to remind himself that the body he was currently inhabiting had a history and a reputation in this world

"I can't afford to act out too much. I have to at least maintain some semblance of the original princess's behavior..." he thought silently

Rose came back with a shirt that had a hole in its sleeves and a box of sewing materials, Yuto decided to ask

"Hey, how did I act before?"

Rose paused for a moment, taken aback by Yuto's question, she took a few seconds to collect her thoughts before answering

"Well.. you used to be a bit of a, uh, a brat I suppose," she said hesitantly, trying to choose her words carefully

Why you, Yuto was close to yelling, "Sigh, what else?"

Rose flinched a little, sensing the irritation in Yuto's voice, her voice becoming smaller

"Well... you used to be short-tempered, demanding, and dismissive of others. Always quick to use your status as a princess to get what you wanted"

'Fucking hell, despite being weak she demanded things of others?'

"H-how did my father react to my behavior?"

Rose swallowed nervously before continuing her explanation

"His Majesty was very indulgent towards you. He always pampered you and gave you what you wanted. I think he was too afraid to go against your every whim"

Yuto was speechless as he listened to Rose's explanation

He couldn't believe that the original princess had behaved in such a spoiled and ungrateful manner, demanding things from others simply because she was of higher status

He felt a pang of disgust and frustration, knowing that he was now stuck in this body and expected to uphold that same person

'My father died, serving this shit of a king and princess?"

Yuto's thoughts echoed with anger and frustration, "How did I act towards the kingdom's former Sword Master?"

Yuto's father, the kingdom's Sword Master before his death 2 years ago, Rose thought for a moment before answering Yuto's question

"You never really paid much attention to the Sword Master, to be honest. You treated him like a lower-class person, just one of many servants in the castle"

The maid's voice sounded a bit hesitant as if she was worried about upsetting Yuto with her answer

He clenched his fists tightly, feeling a surge of indignation for the original princess and her mistreatment of his father

'She was such a brat, and he still treated her like a princess. It's not fair. It's not fair,' Yuto clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white

'How could she be so cold and ungrateful towards my father? After everything he did for her, for this kingdom?', he thought silently, his jaw clenched tightly

[-SYSTEM-]

Quest will be canceled if not completed in the next 5 minutes

Yuto was snapped out of his angry thoughts by the system notification that appeared in his mind, he had lost track of time, caught up in his frustration

"Damn it, I've got to snap out of it. I can't let my anger get the best of me now" he thought, trying to gather his composure

"Thank you, for right now just prepare me some tea"

Rose nodded respectfully, "Of course, princess. I'll go prepare some tea right away"

With that, she bowed and hurried away to fulfill Yuto's request, leaving him alone again, Yuto was left alone once again, his mind still reeling from the information he had just learned

He took a few deep breaths, trying to calm himself down and focus on the task at hand, he glanced at the sewing supplies that the maid had brought him

"Alright. I have to complete this quest. No use getting sidetracked by my anger" he thought, steeling himself for the task ahead

Yuto tried to put all his negative thoughts aside and focus on the task at hand

He sat down at a small table, laying out the sewing supplies carefully, he had never actually sewed anything before, but he supposed it couldn't be that hard to figure out

With determination, he picked up a needle and thread and began to attempt to follow the instructions he had seen in his mind from the system quest

'Mizuki would be laughing at me, doing something so stupid'

Yuto couldn't help but think of Mizuki at that thought, the image of her teasing him for attempting a task like this brought a small smile to his lips

He imagined her laughter and the way her eyes would light up with amusement yet, deep down, he wished she were here with him, even if it was just to make fun of his sewing skills

After finishing the system appeared before him again

[-System Reward-]

+5 Stamina

"Why stamina? I'm not doing physical work or fighting anything" he thought to himself, feeling a mixture of confusion and curiosity

"The Tea is done"

Yuto looked up, snapping back to reality as the familiar voice of Rose reached his ears

"Ah, yes. Thanks" he replied, gesturing for her to set the tea down on the table beside him

As she did, he took a moment to observe the tea, its steaming scent filled and calming aura

"Oh his Majesty requests your presence for tea and cake"

Yuto tensed up a little at the mention of the king, he had been hoping to avoid interacting with the king for a while longer, but he couldn't refuse the summons

He nodded reluctantly, trying to sound as aloof as possible, "Very well. I'll be there shortly" he said, with a touch of nonchalance

After finishing his tea, 6 more maids came in, with dresses, makeup, and some heels

Yuto was a bit taken aback by the sudden arrival of 6 more maids, all bringing various items that he was expected to use

He eyed the dresses, makeup, and shoes skeptically, feeling a pang of distaste at the mere thought of wearing them

"Um, excuse me. What exactly is all this for?" he asked, trying to keep his annoyance out of his voice

Rose gave a giant smile, "Your early routine, you would always demand the most beautiful of dresses"

Yuto grimaced inwardly as he heard this

'Demanded the most beautiful dresses, huh? Sounds like a real spoiled brat', he thought to himself, feeling a pang of irritation at the behavior of the original princess

He let out a deep sigh, realizing that he had no choice but to play the role of the princess

"Right. Of course. I suppose I should get ready, then" he replied, trying his best to sound aloof, this was going to be bothersome and draining
