"...For real?" I say angrily to the maid who came to give me an annoying notice.
"Yes, Miss Marie, the Demon King has ordered that you 6, candidates for the throne, enter a team competition. The teams are based on the younger sibling paired with the older sibling, which means the team order is..."
"Lucien Ashcroft will be paired with Laplace Ashcroft, Marie Ashcroft will be paired with Evelyn Ashcroft, Esther Ashcroft will be paired with Augustus Ashcroft, and the rules will be explained when you two meet. You cannot get help from maids or servants." She says as she stands up and goes to the door.
"Shall we go?" She says as I just let out an annoyed sigh. Great, I'll have to team up with that loser. If that's the case, it would be better to be alone than have a useless person getting in the way.
I end up just following the maid. I can't disobey my Father, he's the Demon King, and as much as I hate the idea of having to be with Evelyn as a partner, I still have to do it.
