Reincarnated in a depressing erotic world but living a normal life (right?) Laziness arises

Honestly, I wasn't expecting the princess's reaction upon waking from her curse. I an, in these kinds of situations, one usually receives a 'Thank you.'

Or on the other hand, so confusion about what's happening...

"Aaahh.... Finally... Finally!!! AAAARRGGHHH!!!"

But I never expected that the first thing she did was to go crazy while tangling her hair and crying uncontrollably. However, at this rate, it could be dangerous for herself and consequently for the end of the story, so first we have to calm her down.

And I have the perfect "techniques" to do it.

"Everything is alright now, calm down {"Art of Relaxing Massage Art of Healing Massage"} at maximum power."

"Aaahh... Aahh.... Ah~"

[the silver knight uses a combo move on the princess]

[it's super effective!!]

Yep... Now it seems she's calming down, so it's ti to ask to find out how to end the plot of this story.

"Princess, allow to introduce myself. My na is the "Silver Knight," and would you allow to know your na?"

PERFECT!!

Practice paid off. I look and speak like a mysterious knight... Sniff... This is beautiful... Sniff... Thank you, world, for this opportunity!!

-------------------------------------------------------------

"My na is the "Silver Knight," and would you allow to know your na?"

Faced with the presentation of the mysterious silver knight who had freed her from her nightmare, the princess, for the first ti in a long ti, had the opportunity to say her na to soone else.

"You don't need to be so formal after saving , and I apologize for the delay in my introduction. My na is Lethe, princess of the kingdom of Zarzamora."

"It's a pleasure to et you, Lethe."

"Yes, likewise."

For the first ti since falling into that "cursed sleep," Princess Lethe was having a normal conversation, able to move and speak. However, the more ti passed, the more she noticed the strangeness within herself, since just monts ago she should have been feeling a tide of uncontrolled emotions on the verge of madness.

But now she found herself calm and even felt relaxed, feelings she hadn't experienced in a long ti.

"I want to ask you sothing, are you the one causing this calm within ?"

"You are right. If I hadn't used my massage, it seed you might hurt yourself."

"Thank you so much!! From the bottom of my heart!! THANK YOU!!"

Faced with such strong and sincere gratitude, the knight seed stunned for a brief mont before reacting.

"You're welco, it was my pleasure to help."

After this exchange, the princess had a long conversation with the knight, who prepared all kinds of food for her and entertained her with all sorts of stories, although sotis he seed to talk to himself and casually played with the straw dolls around him.

For a mont, Princess Lethe believed she had returned to the ti when her parents were still alive, the citizens strolled, and the children played around.

Giving so "peace" to her heart, however...

"It seems ti is up."

"Huh...? What's happening?"

Before her, the straw dolls and the silver knight began to glow as they slowly disappeared one by one.

"Princess, no. Lethe, it's ti for to go."

"Why?! If you're planning to disappear, take with you!!"

"I really wish I could, but it's not possible since "this" world needs you."

"The... "world" needs ...?"

"That's right, that's why I can't take you with ."

"Then... A-again... I'll be alone..."

Just as Princess Lethe collapsed, feeling how the only pillar that freed her and made her feel "alive" was beginning to fade away, she felt a cold touch on her head, comforting her slowly and gently with great tenderness.

"You are not alone, Lethe. Even if I leave, it doesn't an we won't see each other again."

"Huh?"

"I'm just going ho, and from there I will always support you."

"Uuggh... Sniff... It's a promise!! Right?!"

"Yes, it's a promise."

And with those words, he disappeared before her eyes.

And since the departure of the "Silver Knight," Lethe lost all motivation to move, spending her days motionless in the place where he had disappeared.

Curiously, her body seed not to age, nor did it need water, food, or any other basic human necessity.

Lethe thought this might be because of the ti she spent cursed, but she had no interest in investigating further or doing anything more.

She only limited herself to getting lost in her mories while giving up on the real world before her to live in the mories she spent with the "Silver Knight." That was all she could think about, however...

"Princess, I'm glad you're alright!"

An annoying voice pulled her from her sweet fantasy, returning her to the monotonous and gray world in which she lived.

"Who are you?"

"I am the prince of the kingdom of Cardantia! And I have co to rescue you to consummate our engagent!"

Although there is supposedly soone in front of her, Lethe is unable to perceive or notice what he looks like, and although he was speaking, she couldn't rember what he was saying either. Currently, in Lethe's mind, there were only thoughts about the "Silver Knight" while she ignored or dismissed everything else.

"I don't care, get out of here."

And so, with a lethargic voice devoid of all emotion, she uttered these words, showing a lost look on her face.

"H-how dare you disrespect ! I am offering you the happiness of marrying !"

"I don't care."

"You, don't you see that there is no greater honor in the "world" than this!!"

"In.... the.... "world"..."

At that mont, sothing inside Lethe finally clicked at those words...

"That's right!! Now you understand the opportunity I am giving you!!"

"Aaahh... Now I understand... All of this.... It's the world's fault..."

"Huh...?"

And with those words as a trigger, the "curse" reactivated, generating an overwhelming amount of thorny vines from Lethe's body as she slowly rose.

(Whip!!)

"Aagh!!"

Imdiately, the vines struck the prince as they began to wrap around him, draining his strength.

"W-what do you think you're doing?! If anything happens to , you will be hunted by the entire world!!"

The prince, in an attempt to survive, tried to use his position to make her see reason and escape, but the response he received was simple and plain.

"I... don't... care...."

"H-hiiiii!!!"

It was there that the prince finally could see Lethe's gaze, only to discover empty eyes without any light returning his stare.

"It's because of this world that I can't see him...."

The vines grew and spread more and more, becoming larger and stronger each ti, while at the sa ti all vegetation withered and every building collapsed.

"I have nothing here... I don't care about anything else....so..."

With each word she spoke, it seed as if the vines went more insane, destroying everything in their path, while Lethe rose on a large vine at her feet.

"If it's to find him....then...I don't care about destroying everything!!"

The last thing the prince saw in her eyes was the somber figure of a woman looking with hatred at existence itself before being completely covered by an endless number of vines.

From the day she awoke, the original princess had already died asleep in her long lethargy, having detached herself from everything she once valued. In her place, a monster was born, focused on a feeling of love and dependence towards the one who brought her out of the darkness.

And thanks to the great spiritual energy that Mireya gave her before leaving, combined with the remnants of the original curse, a new curse was born, one that weakened all organic and inorganic matter at an accelerated rate until it disappeared while spreading wildly and uncontrollably.

But thanks to the lack of opposition from Lethe, she was able to "assimilate" the curse into her body, turning it into a kind of cursed ability known as...

"The Sleeping Embrace of Thorns."

She was no longer Princess Lethe; in her place arose the demon lord who represents Sloth, Lethe.
