After making a meal appointment with the hero, the Demon King is feeling complicated.
Immediately after hearing about the circumstances from her,
As always, Belze Beauty started to open her mouth with a calm voice with a calm expression on her face.
"Your Majesty, if it's okay with you, can I tell you something about this matter?"
"okay. let me tell you where Still, I wanted to hear your opinion."
Belze Beauty was the one who brought the most accurate and best answers to the Demon King so far.
Believing that she would be able to explain the current chaotic situation, the Demon King prepared to listen to her.
"priority..
Before we get to the point, Your Majesty must be aware of this to some extent. The dinner with His Majesty that the hero requested is
The fact that it never happened with ordinary intentions."
"Yeah, honestly, because of that, Jim still has a complicated situation in his head. Why did the hero demand such a strange thing after rejecting all kinds of wealth and honor?"
With those words, the demon king begins to show a slightly subtle expression.
Seeing her reaction like this, Belzebeauty spoke to her in a voice with a characteristic sharpness.
"Yes, it is. It's a strange request, and... it just shows what a champion is really looking for."
"What does that mean…?"
"Think
Look. His Majesty had assured the warrior that he would grant him whatever he wanted. But what he wanted about him was neither wealth nor power.
Not even territory... just spending time with His Majesty. This means…"
With those words, Belze Beauty looked at the Demon King with a cold expression.
Then came the words of a serious warning from her mouth.
"What the hero wants is… it means the end soon."
"Huh?… Jim… you mean?"
The Demon King begins to show the emotion of embarrassment on her face at her words.
Seeing the owner like that, she continued to speak in a calm voice.
"Yes, Soin
From the looks of it, it is clear now that the hero is trying to win His Majesty's heart in some way. The fact that he made an excessive amount of achievement in this operation,
The fact that he requested a meal as a reward was certainly a stepping stone for this."
"The hero broke Jim's heart… but uh… why?"
"sorry.
yet… Even the youngest can't be sure how far he's thinking. However, it is highly likely that it is not for a good reason.
Please be careful. That hero is more dangerous than your Majesty thinks. Never be vigilant while eating
Please do not delay."
"Ummm… "
The Demon King slowly nodded his head in response to Belze Beauty's words.
But..
Even looking at her like this, Belze Beauty's heart was still filled with anxiety and deep sadness.
'Honestly, even if the situation hadn't been this bad, I would have encouraged you to break up such a dangerous meal plan right away...'
From a cool point of view, it was the best way to prevent the Hero, who was unreliable in many ways, from coming into contact with the Demon King.
As she was well aware that her master was clumsy in this kind of human relationship right now, it was not known what effect that hero's cunning tongue would have on the Demon King.
However, unfortunately...
The current situation in the Demon Kingdom was not a situation in which it was easy to reject an object such as the poisoned holy grail of this hero.
A large-scale offensive by the Allied Forces of the Tribes, which is taking place even at this moment.
This was the worst crisis that Belze Beauty, who had held the position for over 100 years, could not handle it.
Although the Demon King, who possesses overwhelming combat power, periodically dispatches to put out the fire, even that situation has no choice but to show its limits someday.
At this time,
A sword called a warrior with power that surpasses even the demon lord.
Belze Beauty knew all too well that it was the important and only key that could bring the Demon Kingdom out of this desperate crisis.
There was such a background that she could not even tell the Demon King that the hero might be targeting this country, and that was the reason why she could not cancel the meal plan with the Demon King.
This is because the importance of the subject was too great to do anything by guessing in the absence of clear confirmation.
'Once I've given you a warning, I'm sure you'll behave to a certain extent... but you'll need to keep an eye on it. So that if the hero does something suspicious, we can respond immediately.'
*
"after… "
A hot tub with floating rose petals.
Where 10 people can fit in, she...
The Demon King was washing his body alone without wearing a rag.
A bath time that gives her a calm feeling while washing away the fatigue of war.
As ever, she starts at the nape of the neck, then on the shoulders and collarbones.
And while slowly wiping away her characteristic large breasts, she tried to release the tension in every corner of her body.
However,
this moment right now,
In the mind of the Demon King who is washing his body like that,
Instead of the usual calmness, feelings of anxiety and tension about the future were swirling around.
'The hero... wants Jim's heart..'
The story Belze Beauty told her.
The Demon King was also somewhat aware of what that meant.
Being favored by her as a body in the position of a monarch, there was room for direct connection with the meaning of obtaining power... and a very large amount of power.
Also, given that the target is a human hero, not a demon, this is something to be wary of.
That was what Belze Beauty was worried about, and the Demon King also sympathized with the danger to some extent.
But..
despite knowing this.
At this moment, in the heart of the Demon King, for some reason, rather than being wary of the hero, something unfamiliar was feeling stronger.
'However… I can't understand. If that is the case, then this meal is like a poisoned apple.. Why is Jim waiting for the moment like this while taking a bath like this?'
Even though I know I have to be vigilant, I can't shake it off easily. An emotion called 'expectation'.
Feeling the same contradictory feelings as when I went to meet him to praise the hero the other day...
The Demon King immersed the part just below his eyes in the bathtub and began to exhale slowly as it was.
Bubbles rising up in the bathtub as if expressing her emotions.
Looking at it, the Demon Lord began to think in his mind that he wanted to find out the cause of this confused feeling as soon as possible.
'Maybe... maybe we can find the answer at this dinner party. Please, if that's the case...'
EP.25 Calm down, is this the devil's scheme?
Banquet hall where you are supposed to dine with the devil
At the entrance there, after completing the inspection and other procedures, I felt impatient and was waiting for the Demon King.
'I've been mentally prepared to some extent... but I don't feel very comfortable..'
From the time he was first captured, the time he had to face-to-face and talk with the Demon King was not that small.
However, nevertheless, meeting someone under the name of 'date' was different from the beginning.
It's a different feeling than when my life was up and down the other day...
Such tension, a mixture of anticipation and joy, along with anxiety, took hold of me.
my heart is pounding,
I felt something like a pleasant tickling in my heart.
Just thinking about it brought a smile to my lips,
At the same time, it made me realize that this is what happiness is.
What will she look like?
what kind of expression
what to say
And.. what kind of feelings will you have when you look at me..
All of that is exciting and exciting to me.
It gave a feeling of joy in itself.
That's what dating a woman you like was like...
Even this waiting time gave me joy.
'But, what kind of form does it really come in? The black dress I've seen so far wasn't bad either...'
I was able to recognize the body at a glance. A black dress with not so much exposure.
In fact, the clothes I wore like everyday clothes were beautiful enough, but since it was a date, it was unavoidable to raise expectations that there might be something a little more special.
At that time, when I was waiting for the Demon King in my heart-pounding emotions...
"I'm sorry to keep you waiting, hero."
"Ah... Lung hah... !"
The voice of the Demon King from the other side.
So I immediately turned my head towards him...
the next moment,
He began to be engulfed in such a deep shock that he was literally speechless.
The figure of the Demon King standing in front of me...
The moment I saw it, there was only one thought that came to my mind.
'… pretty..'
I couldn't come up with any clearer words to express the appearance of her in front of me.
incarnation of beauty.
It is as if all the beauty of the world was put together and formed.
The thought of whether I could ever see such a horrifyingly beautiful being in my life automatically crossed my mind.
A demon king wearing a dress with gold embroidery on the base of black and purple.
Unlike the jet-black dress that felt a bit frugal from the previous day, the outfit, which gives off a gorgeous yet elegant feel, has specific parts..
In particular, the chest area was deeply dug.
A dress that shows off about 40% of its gigantic size, radiating irresistible charm, and at the same time makes its beauty stand out even more.
There's a slim waist where you can't see any flesh, and a great pelvis that makes its charm stand out more due to the side slits...
And, crucially, even her face, like a goddess, with pomp and nobility, showing the perfection of a body like a work of art through light makeup and accessories.
Literally, I
At the sight of her showing off her beauty, which is superior to any woman I have ever seen in my entire life, without filtration, I
For a moment, I was caught up in a hazy feeling that made me feel like I was dreaming.
"… What's going on? bump. The strange thing about my… Jim's appearance is…"
"! Oh... no... there's nothing... weird at all! That... just... the demon king is so beautiful..."
My words that express emotions that come from the heart without filtering.
The Demon King looked a little surprised at this.
Then, with a gentle smile on his lips, he said to me.
"Is… that… is it?… Thank you for saying that, hero."
With those words, the demon king stared at my face as it was.
Seeing her with a slightly reminiscent expression on her face for a moment, I began to feel my heart beating more and more.
"Then let's go in. As you wish… let us spend our time alone."
"yes! Demon King."
Feeling the excitement of her words once again, I followed the demon king and went inside.
At this moment, without realizing the feeling of strange tension on the demon king's face...
'..for this country... no... Is this... for me?'
*
"Ummm.. would it be better to add a little more ruby?"
"… Over there.. Belze Beauty?"
"Wait a minute. Wait a minute.. As expected, here, a brooch made of this black pearl is more.."
Belze Beauty carefully selects accessories one by one in front of your eyes.
Just by looking at her, she doesn't like eating this time with a hero like this...
Seeing something that makes you think that something is surprising,
The Demon King asked her with a slightly perplexed expression on his face.
"Well, thank you for your concern. But, didn't your mouth tell you to be careful about eating with the hero this time? But why…"
"No, rather, that's why you have to come out on your own and make your Majesty the perfect figure that can radiate the greatest charm."
"Huh?.. uh.. why?"
Belze Beauty speaks firmly.
At this, the demon king's face began to show a deep, suspicious feeling, and seeing her like that, Belzebeauty opened her mouth with a very serious voice.
"I thought about it all morning until this morning. How can we take advantage of the meal that this hero's sullen conspiracy was culminated in?"
Belze Beauty speaks openly about the fact that she doesn't like the hero.
With her attitude like this, the Demon King thought that the hero is not that bad... but he listened to her for the first time without uttering that fact.
"Anyway now
Considering his needs, vaguely being cold-hearted can have the opposite effect. So the conclusion I came to was... rather
The idea was that it would be good for us to use his tactics against him and put a collar on the hero's emotions."
"snood?"
Belze Beauty speaks with its eyes sharply shining.
At this, the demon king's face began to have a suspicious feeling...
To her like that, Belzebeauty began to explain specific details with slightly exaggerated emotions.
"Your Majesty.
Whether it is a human or a demon, the existence of a man is ultimately swayed by the charm of a woman. No matter how cold and calculating I am,
In front of His Majesty, who is exuding the supreme beauty that God has given us, there must be no choice but to be shaken rationally."
"The supreme beauty.. No matter how much I look like that.."
"At a time like this, I said quietly that stereotyped words of humility could rather blur the point and offend you."
"..Ummm… I'm sorry."
The demon king blushes slightly at the resolute words that came out of the mouth of Belzebeauty, who was wearing a brooch.
Then, toward such a demon king, Belze Beauty continued to speak.
"anyway,
If your Majesty can grasp the gap created in this way, you will be able to capture his heart and take the initiative without difficulty.
As a loyal prisoner of absolute loyalty to His Majesty's orders."
"The heart of a warrior… In Jim's hands…"
The Demon King mumbled softly with a trembling voice about those words.
Seeing her like this, Belze Beauty sighed a little and spoke in a voice filled with bitterness.
"after… To be honest
To tell you, I don't even want to do something like this. Although it was expressed in a flirtatious way, it was actually a beauty world.. by taking advantage of His Majesty's charm
Because it means that we will minimize the risk by reversing the capture of the hero's heart."
"..Right. In a way, you can interpret it that way."
From Belzebeauty's words, the Demon King was able to clearly recognize the reason why she was so serious about this matter.
Although the hero was trying to gain the power of the demon kingdom through the demon king, beyond his desire, the present country definitely needed the mighty power possessed by the hero.
If that's the case... Rather, it was the best solution Belze Beauty came up with to take advantage of this situation and lead it to take the initiative.
If the hero wants to win the heart of the demon king, the plot is to reverse the situation in such a way that the demon king captures the hero's heart and shakes it.
However, in any case, this was using his master.
About this, Belze Beauty looked at the Demon King with sad feelings and said.
"I'm really sorry, Your Majesty. If I had had a little more confidence, I wouldn't have given my majesty this kind of trouble... In the end, please forgive the inability of the villain to come up with only such a scheme."
Belze Beauty is a sincere apology to the Demon King.
In response, the Demon King gently caressed the hair of his old 'friend', who was keeping his head straight, with a gentle smile on his lips.
"Okay. After all, the burden bearing the name of the Demon King is the body that exists for this country and its people. If it is for the national interest, we can do anything like this."
"your majesty.."
Belze Beauty begins to show a slightly moved expression at the demon king's words.
But..
this moment right now,
Seeing such Belze Beauty, the Demon King was feeling apologetic in a different sense from that of his loyal servant and friend.
'I feel really bad when I say these things, who was waiting for this even while working in the bath system industry..'
Although he was speaking for the country with his mouth, he was a Demon King who had personal expectations for a meal with a hero.
At the same time, she was also feeling uncomfortable with her actions, which she hadn't thought of, but as a result, she might be trying to take advantage of a warrior who had been abandoned by her comrades.
As a monarch who has to exclude personal emotions for the sake of the national interest, he wondered if his abilities were insufficient.
The Demon King looked at himself in the mirror as it was, leaving Belze Beauty, who was continuing the decoration work.
As Belze Beauty said, she has an off-white color that is not lacking compared to anyone else.
She herself was not sure how much meaning this meant, but at least seeing this gave the Demon King a sense of relief for one fact.
'I'm glad.. At least the hero won't hate Jim because of his looks.'
EP.26 Normal Punch from the Demon King
The Demon King and I entered the banquet hall.
There was a table and chairs of a suitable size prepared only for the two of us, apart from the spacious space.
The distance is close enough that you can reach out and grab the other person's hand.
If you look at the banquet hall except for the grand and splendid appearance of the banquet hall, looking at the place that creates an atmosphere like a restaurant where lovers dine together
I moved slowly in deep tension.
"Then, please take care of me, warrior."
"B..Yes. His Majesty the Demon King."
I responded with a slightly trembling voice to the words of the Demon King, who was calm and charming.
The subtle tension felt even though there was no battle and there was a meal.
Inside, I carefully sat down on the chair opposite the Demon King.
Literally, if you raise your head, you will see the Demon King sitting in front of your nose.
No, it was a situation where I could face the face of a goddess with absolute beauty that perfectly matches my ideal type.
At the time when I felt my heart pounding again about that fact,
Starting with the waiting demon maids serving soup and salad as the first dish, me and the demon king began to eat in earnest.
The food I have eaten so far has been great, but dishes that feel more luxurious and wonderful than that are starting to be served in front of me.
However, at this moment, even when I put sweet soup in my mouth.
When you put a fragrant and fresh salad in your mouth.
I couldn't tell clearly whether these foods were going into my mouth or my nose.
'Really... pretty. To be able to dine with a person like this... that alone makes me feel like it's overkill...'
The Demon King who continues the meal in an elegant manner in front of his eyes.
Her off-white color made her forget even the taste of food like this,
At the same time, I kept my thoughts, which were originally meant to be close to the Demon King by talking about this and that, so that they couldn't even execute them.
Just sitting in front of me was capturing all my nerves and my mind.
The power of absolute beauty is so overwhelming.
That was the time when I was obsessed with the Demon King's beauty for a while.
"Hero, maybe the food didn't suit your mouth?"
"B... yes?"
The Demon King asks a question in a voice filled with a little concern as if he recognized that I was eating a snack.
Regarding this, I responded to her with a momentary embarrassment.
"Oh, no, Your Majesty. I have never eaten such a wonderful dish in my life. It's just..."
"just?"
I started to feel hesitant for a while at the demon king's question.
Even though
'To be honest, your Majesty's beauty was so beautiful that I couldn't care less about the taste of the food.'
It is unreasonable to bring up the same story openly.
Soon, rather than just talking about my thoughts without filtration, I chose to talk in moderation.
"..I'm sorry, no matter how much I am, it's the first time I'm sitting alone with the monarch of a country like this, so I think I'm a little nervous."
"is it?"
"Yes, Your Majesty is a person more noble than any other beings that a small person has ever seen. Just being able to have a meal with such a person is truly a great honor for her."
To be honest, I was more proud of the fact that I was able to dine with such a beautiful woman rather than the prince or anything else.
On the other hand, about my words.
For some reason, the demon king showed a slightly strange expression for a moment, and then
For a moment, he began to show a reaction as if he was thinking about something.
And, after a while...
"It's an honor… Is it really that you are thinking that way?"
"Yes, yes, Your Majesty."
The Demon King asks a question with a slightly stiff voice.
I felt a little uncomfortable at this, but for the first time, I answered her with sincerity and resolutely.
OK..
"Yeah, that's right… But... what do you think about things like this?"
"yes?"
With words he couldn't understand for a moment, the Demon King stood up as it was.
And then...
She slowly started moving closer to where I was.
"I.. There.. Lungs.. Ha?"
The Demon King who steps towards me step by step.
very simple, but
Because of her overwhelming beauty, her actions make it feel as if a goddess is descending from heaven.
I was still caught up in the tension, but I started to get caught up in the feeling of suffocation.
So, the Demon King stopped right next to me who was sitting there.
Then, the Demon King slowly...
He reached out and started to caress my face.
Her hand was so soft.
The sweet scent and warm warmth felt at the same time... It started to make my heart beat like crazy.
"lung… lung… Ha?... This... What is this..."
"..be still. This is the king's order."
A calm yet strict dignity...
At the same time, her words seemed to contain a moist feeling.
As a result, I felt as if my mind was on my knees, and I had no choice but to remain still according to my 'Lord''s orders.
Then towards me...
The Demon King slowly bent his waist and began to lower his posture slightly as it was.
Immediately after that, what I see in front of me is...
It was the big and beautiful breast of the Demon King that had been holding my gaze all the time.
Due to the nature of the dress, the upper part is clearly exposed.
It is like a pair of coveted fruits that can win the hearts of men just by their existence.
As I watched it slowly approaching me, I felt as if my head had turned white in an instant, and I had no choice but to accept it defenselessly.
and..
"ah..."
The Demon King who slowly embraces my body as it is.
The warmth of the hand felt on the back.
I can feel her thin breath in my ear.
and..
covering the entire face.
The warmth of your heart that is cozy and soft, as if you have fallen into heaven.
At this I
I couldn't help but be completely caught up in the present moment, caught up in an excessive happiness that seemed like my soul was about to fall apart.
'this… Heaven?'
There was no time to think about why the Demon King was acting like this.
All I can do at this moment is...
It was just that she felt infinite gratitude for this irresistible 'favor' and accepted it.
and..
In my ears, where my mind is so immersed.
The Demon King has a small voice, but with a voice that seems to penetrate the whole body, starting from the head.
He started whispering a little.
"Tell me, warrior. What do you think… about this?"
The question she asked me just before 'Heaven' began.
When she asks about it again...
With a trembling voice,
At this moment, I began to tell the full truth that I was feeling.
"Thank you very much for the undeserved reward.
I still don't know what she meant to hug me like this.
However, all I can say about this is.
All I can say about her actions that showed her heaven.
It was simply a way to express gratitude for this great grace of the owner.
and,
about my words.
The Demon King still spoke to me in a whispering voice.
"If you offer your eternal allegiance. If you make Jim's dream come true... I can do more than this."
"gulp!"
Words that make me think of countless imaginations.
I began to tremble at the demon king's irresistible temptation.
"Could you swear that much for me, warrior?... everlasting loyalty... with my everlasting sword, can you swear to slay my enemies?"
The demon king's question is subtle yet clear.
Regarding this, I answered the Demon King's words without any hesitation.
"I swear… I will. For Your Majesty... Forever. I pledge this life to offer immortal allegiance."
From the moment I knelt down to the Demon King in the first place, it was something I had been making a promise to in my heart.
I had no reason to think about it any more when I said that it would give a reward that overwhelms the principal and interest in this way.
Rather, I am only truly grateful for the demon lord's act of giving me what I truly wanted more than anything else in this way.
So, I am once again for the sake of the Demon King.
To be precise, to increase his affinity with her...
He began to make up his mind that he would do his best to steer the racial unity.
*
The demon king who decided to seduce the hero according to Belzebeauty's words
Although not reluctant, under the belief of 'for the country', she decided to proceed with this work.
However, in relation to this, the Demon King had no choice but to feel uneasy in many ways.
Even the Demon King knew that there are many ways women seduce men.
Whispering obscene yet sweet words.
show natural exposure,
Or having sex that stimulates sexual desire.
These methods, which are mainly used by succubus to extort the spirit of men, as the Demon King who has them under their subordinates, there were some things that they picked up and picked up.
But..
Apart from having knowledge, the Demon King could not even dare to do such a 'great thing' at this moment.
In the first place, it was absolutely unreasonable to use such a professional skill for her, who was not accustomed to contacting men rather than seducing them in the first place.
In addition to that, aside from making a decision to be honest, even at this moment, the feeling of sorry for the hero still remains in the corner of the demon king's heart, so she has no choice but to act passively and instinctively about this.
In the end, the method of seduction she chose is a straightforward hug that can be said to be simple if it is simple.
As for this action, which takes place completely excluding professional skills, the Demon Lord would do his best to be honest, but he was thinking that it would not have much effect.
'He was a hero who refused to accept even demons like a succubus.
The Demon King carefully embraced the hero without expecting much about the effect of temptation.
But..
Contrary to what she expected.
The reaction of the hero to this clumsy 'temptation', which the Demon King thought, was beyond imagination.
"For Your Majesty... Forever. I pledge this life to offer immortal allegiance."
'?? Ah... no... why is this...'
A hero who executes a clear oath of allegiance without any hesitation without even a single hesitation.
The demon king was automatically captivated by a deep sense of embarrassment about this situation as if the castle had surrendered after firing an arrow.
Then, a thought suddenly popped into the demon king's head.
that..
'… Stand.. Maybe.. This is... ?'
EP.27 The Hero is Baby! I have to take care of my baby!
A warrior who swears allegiance while being held in his arms.
Watching his act of being captured at once by his 'clumsy temptation', which he honestly didn't expect to come over...
The Demon King began to recall an important fact that she had forgotten for a while.
'It was.. Hero.. In your heart.. There was nothing left..'
A warrior who returned with a brilliant major.
But,
Behind these brilliant achievements of the hero.
The heart of a man who had been abandoned by his colleagues and torn to shreds by the country was hidden.
Enduring the shame of bowing down for revenge,
Without hesitation, he murders the people he once wanted to protect.
And... seeing the fellow who abandoned him become like a beast, the hero who smiled sadly.
His heart, which had been wracked by such misfortune and had been horribly cut to pieces...
To borrow Belze Beauty's expression, it could be said that the state was already full of gaps that made it difficult to even stand.
And, for the warrior who was already in full swing like this, the demon king's blow, no matter how clumsy, would have had a fatal effect on its own.
'For a human wandering in the desert, even the rotten water in a skullcap must be regarded as holy water.
The Demon King came to a reasonable conclusion about the reason why his 'temptation', which was so tasteless and dry, worked.
While recognizing that...
The Demon King automatically began to get caught up in a feeling that seemed to ache in the corner of his heart.
Although for the sake of national interest, the current situation can be viewed positively.
However.
In the Demon King's personal feelings...
The feeling of guilt towards the hero that he had from the beginning began to deepen.
'You should have already known.. You must have known how much this man was suffering.
The Demon King begins to feel like a part of his heart is hurting like that.
But..
Soon in the heart of the Demon King,
It has to do with this remorse of his own conscience...
At the same time, nevertheless, regarding the 'national interest' that cannot be given up.
One clear resolution began to bloom.
'Yes.. In the end.. The most important thing is to do well with Jim.'
Moving a hero for the country.
To treat such a hero as he deserves,
In the end, the Demon King concluded that it was all in her hands.
'For the sake of this country, it is enough for Jim to do his best to comfort the warriors who have returned to the right place by using fewer warriors in the right place.'
In the end, the reason the hero suffered a heartache was because he had been betrayed by those he had devoted himself to.
Conversely,...
The only thing that can heal those wounds is by giving them the proper recompense and comfort for such devotion.
Through this, the existence of a warrior...
It was to trust someone again and let them do their best to wield the sword.
So, reaching the conclusion that it considers to be the best in its own way.
Even at this moment, the demon king made a promise as he saw the warrior shivering lightly while being held in his arms.
'Heroes.. You are stronger than anyone and infinitely weaker than anyone.. From now on, Jim will take care of you. Eternal happiness worthy of your immortal allegiance... in the hands of Jim...'
*
"It happened. Eventually, the hero swore an everlasting loyalty to Jim, and he accepted it."
"You have worked really hard, Your Majesty. I am truly grateful for such a wonderful completion of God's lackluster plan."
A Demon King who sits on a throne and speaks in a dignified voice.
About this,
Belze Beauty, who was sitting on her knees in front of her, shouted with deep relief and gratitude.
Although this alone could not completely put her mind to rest, if it was the oath of eternal loyalty guaranteed by the Demon King, Beljebeauty could have some credibility.
'Of course, we can't be sure of people's inner feelings.. At least this can be said to have blocked most of the justifications for the brave to engage in nonsense.'
The root of the deep-rooted distrust in the young of the warrior, who was deeply entrenched in Belze Beauty's heart, did not disappear.
But even in this and that way, for now, let's work together to fight a battle for national luck..
And if the circumstances allow, it could be poisonous to set a day of excessive suspicion as it is an 'alliance' that should aim for something higher than that.
'Well.. Even if there is a limit to cutting with my own hands later, for now, let's end it here. Because that's not what's important right now.'
In this momentous situation that requires immediate action, it is impossible to cling to a task that has only possibilities.
So, for now, we headed towards Belze Beauty, who decided to tie a knot in the work for the hero.
The Demon King spoke in a calm voice.
"I am going to talk about this issue. Now, I want to hear the reason why you, Belze Beauty, came to see Jim. Let me tell you."
"Yes, Your Majesty. I will."
As much as he hastily requested an audience from the early morning, the Demon King was also aware of the fact that Belze Beauty was not simply there to inquire about the hero.
And, about such a request from the Demon King.
As usual, Belze Beauty took out a letter she had brought to her monarch with a serious expression on her face as the prime minister of this country.
After receiving the letter through the hand of the waiting servant, the Demon King begins to check the contents.
right after that...
The demon king's face suddenly began to show an unusual expression...
Towards her like that, Belze Beauty opened her mouth with a serious voice.
"Information just arrived this morning. This is a report of what happened in the Falcon Empire, the leader of the racial union and the nation of humans."
The Demon King carefully examines the contents with a cold face while listening to Belze Beauty's explanation.
And after a while.
After the demon king put down the letter after grasping the contents,
He spoke firmly in a cold voice.
"If this is true, then there is no reason for us to hesitate any longer."
"Yes, yes, Your Majesty. Still, thanks to the hero's efforts, they are in a difficult situation because their supply is cut off. At a time like this, I don't think there will be a better opportunity than this as long as problems like this have arisen."
Belze Beauty responds to the demon king's words with a confident voice.
Immediately after completing the confirmation through the most trusted servant, the Demon King got up from his throne and gave orders to Belzebeauty.
"Now, immediately issue the order to assemble all the SS, corps commanders, and warriors. At this opportunity, for sure, we will see the end of this war."
"Yes, Your Majesty! I will obey your orders!"
After bowing her head toward the Demon King, Belze Beauty immediately moves to issue orders.
Seeing her back like this, a cold smile began to appear on the corner of the Demon King's lips.
'The time has finally come. The time has come to pay the price for the blood and tears of my people over the past years..'
In that way, burning the feelings of resentment and anger that had been built up so far, the Demon King once again began to examine the contents of the letter that reached her.
The content of the letter that played a decisive role in shedding the feeling of hesitation from her heart.
it is this moment,
In regards to the massive bloodshed that took place within the racial union...
It was about the content that the 'seed of conflict', which had been sleeping in the depths of the Union, started to bloom splendidly due to some event.
*
All incidents started about a few weeks ago.
It happened when the Hero and Elisha started preparing to attack Rob.
A party from the ex-hero party who returned to their home country after selling Terra on the condition of canceling half of the debt.
However, this did not mean that the situation was over once the urgent debt obligation was resolved.
The only thing related to debt is the part about expenses that are excessively drawn out.
In front of Torare and his girl..
The punishment for the 'original sin' of failing the mission and running away unsightly still remained.
"saturday… Torare-sama?"
"Everyone, calm down and just say what we said before."
The soldiers who came back after being defeated were dispatched to accompany them.
Looking at them, Torare said in a cold voice...
At this, Eileen, Amelda, and Shud exchanged glances with each other while sweating.
'When I got here, I made sure the words were right. There's nothing to worry about.'
'I don't know if it will be okay.. Even if I do this...'
'No problem. You just have to make a mistake.'
As I try to calm my tensed mind as much as possible,
They were quietly taken to the royal castle without any resistance.
With a mind full of thoughts of selling the corpse of a hero who is not here at the highest possible price.
EP.28 A warrior party built with strong trust
mission failed..
To put it a little grander, the Torare gang were dragged to the castle with the guilt of defeat.
In this dangerous situation where the blade is moving back and forth from the back of the neck in a state of being incapacitated by the magic sealing handcuffs,
The four of them were trying to relax as much as possible, chewing the cud hard in their minds to what they had said.
Although it will not be possible to completely dispel the responsibility as a loser.
But,
If they could speak very well here and pass most of the responsibility on to the hero, there was a very high probability that things would turn out to be unexpectedly simple.
In the first place, in the case of Torare, externally, he was simply a porter hired as a bonus, so it was ridiculous to hold him accountable.
It must have been because he was being dragged down like this simply because he belonged to a party, and it was true that there was a vagueness in many ways to punish something.
and.
Aside from the situation of Torare like that.
Conversely, the three female warriors in this position would be able to open a way to survive if they spoke well, even because of their outstanding value.
They already had the ability and reputation to be recognized in each country throughout the tribal union.
From a diamond-level mercenary, the highest-tier mercenary of the empire,
Saint Eileen, who holds the post of high priest directly appointed by the Imperial Emperor.
Amelda, one of the highest paladins recognized by the Pope of the Elven State, and known for being called by God.
And... Shud, one of the Seven Great Wizards of the Magic Kingdom and a witch who has made remarkable achievements in the war against demons, has a considerable reputation.
The historical value of the three people, which has been clearly proven in this way, is not worth giving up in a single failure.
They thought that there would be a high possibility that if there was an appropriate excuse for a high-minded person, he would punish them lightly and end them.
So, the four people who arrived near the interrogation room to receive a report that doubles as an interrogation on this matter.
at that time..
"ね!.."
"Be quiet there."
Unlike the other three, Torare was thrown into the cell as it is.
Apparently, the above judged that he had nothing to ask of him as a mere porter, and in this regard, Torare had no choice but to taste a bit bitter.
'Chi.. I expected it to some extent, but it's like this.. Well.. Actually, it's not bad in the sense that I don't intend to take responsibility for anything that much..'
With that thought in mind, Torare exchanged glances with the three women who finally entered the interrogation room.
Realizing that from this moment on, his life depended on how well they spoke, Torare began to cheer in his heart that they could do well without making mistakes.
'Just do what you practiced. Then everything will be fine...'
*
After separating from Torare, three female warriors go further inside.
So, realizing that from this moment on, the fate of them and that man is decided by how they play with their mouths.
The three of them stared at the door of the interrogation room, which had begun to appear in front of them, and began to make up their minds again.
By the way..
'uh?'
'Now, wait a minute, where?'
The next moment, the soldiers suddenly split into three groups, holding each of them.
At the same time, their eyes began to see other interrogation room doors, each located quite a distance away.
'What… What happened to this?'
'It's strange.. Why?..'
'This is what...'
In general, it was common to take joint responsibility and handle this kind of work all at once,
In fact, the disposition of the warrior party or troops that have failed so far has been proceeding like this.
An interrogation method in which the people concerned are gathered in one place and the right or wrong is covered by cross-examination.
This was a situation that was almost certain from Eileen's experience, who had attended these events several times as an observer in the past.
And in that respect...
The current situation could be said to be a trend that made Eileen and other women feel insecure.
However..
This made them feel insecure, but at the same time tried to somehow calm themselves down in their minds.
'Oh, yes... this is just a separate question, isn't it? Only the method is slightly different. There is no change in what I have to say.'
'It will be fine.. Because everyone made a promise..'
'Something is suspicious... but nothing to worry about. As long as you tell the story well...'
As I forced myself to think positively...
The three female warriors went to the interrogation room located in different directions.
They were dragged into a solitary room where they had no idea what each other was talking about.
*
"! ah… "
Eileen arrived in the interrogation room.
As she recognized who was waiting for her there alone,
I started to feel the anxiety that had been on my face as it was washed away.
"Raphael!"
"It's been a while, Eileen-senpai."
The priest Raphael who looks at himself and smiles lightly.
A junior clergyman who followed her well in the past and a person who was able to enter the career path in earnest thanks to her help as a high priest.
The moment she saw a person who could be called a 'friend' as an interrogator,
Eileen sat down with a more calm mind, thinking that God had not abandoned her yet.
"I didn't know I would meet you in a place like this."
"Yes, I also think that it is really unfortunate that I accidentally interrogated a senior in this way."
Eileen and Eileen speak with sadness as well as joy.
Raphael responds with a sincere bitterness to this.
Seeing him like this,
Although Eileen came back after a failure, she was able to regain some leeway by recognizing that this floor was still her home ground.
'Well, if you don't know about the others, this is my home country and my hometown, the Falcon Empire. I forgot what kind of existence I am...'
Of course, apart from that, now Eileen was in the body of a criminal who could not perform her duties.
Even if it's the worst, it won't be decapitated, but even to get through this incident as harmlessly as possible, I still haven't been able to completely relax the reins of tension.
While judging...
As originally agreed upon in advance, Eileen began to tell Raphael about 'what happened to the Brave Party'.
*
Amelda, a paladin of the Holy See of the Elven State.
He was once an ordinary servant,
Hearing God's call, he began to walk the path of a paladin.
Since then, she has been revered as one of the best Paladins and has made numerous achievements.
But..
A life that always receives the envy and expectation of many people like that...
For a single elf woman named Amelda, it always acted like a strong shackle.
Those who are called by God must always be pure.
Those who are called by God must always sacrifice for others.
Those who are called by God must restrain all desires.
With her eyes open, these words that follow her like a tag throughout the day have built up a core of unresolved desires and conflicts in the heart of a woman named Amelda.
This has been etched like a thorn in her heart even after she went out with a noble mission of the Hero's Party.
But..
In this way, her life was forced only to persevere.
One day.
By the man who saw through her desire precisely...
It started to change by the porter Torare.
The beginning was semi-forced while she uttered the words of refusal from her mouth.
As a paladin... the man who expressed refusal as he mourned the sublime of being called by God, but forcibly unlocked her desires with the power of the drug he had given him in advance.
However, at that moment, Amelda's heart could not tell a lie, even though her mouth spoke the word of refusal.
The sensation of lust and greed that have been suppressed all at once burst out.
The pleasure it brought was far beyond her imagination...
To her, who was possessed with such a terrible sense of liberation and joy, Torare spoke in a sweet voice.
From now on... you can be honest with your desires.
Don't lie to yourself anymore.
From now on, with her... let's live the life she truly wanted.
Torare's words seemed like a devil's temptation at first glance, but to her, it felt like salvation.
In the end, this action of the porter, who brought out her true nature and told the story she had always wanted to hear, captured Amelda's body and mind perfectly.
In the end, Amelda, as Torare's lover and slave, took hold of his outstretched hand.
Amelda began to dream of choosing a Torare that satisfies her desires, rather than a hero who is devoted only to saving the world, and creating a happy future with him.
In the midst of this, Amelda's heart still had a sense of mission to defeat the Demon King and end the war.
Although she had broken the shackles of desire, her pride as an elf still remained in her heart, and her patriotism for the elven nation was firmly entrenched.
However, in the process of carrying out that mission, Amelda finds a way to satisfy her desires as well.
She decided to choose a path that would bring the achievement of defeating the demon king to her master and admirer, Torare.
As soon as the chosen warrior who received the oracle of the Pope fulfills his 'mission', he is struck in the back of the head.
For her happiness...
For the man who brought her happiness...
*
Amelda hardened her heart for her lover and owner, Torare.
The reluctance to blaspheme the warrior's honor still remained, but
Instead of a dead warrior, she had decided to keep the trust of her living companions.
And, at this moment.
Amelda was weeping in front of the interrogator dispatched from the elven country.
The following words were flowing out:
"what… It was all because of that man.. T..Torare That man seduced us... so that we betrayed the hero..."
EP.29 Brave Party's Dilemma
A middle-aged elf man who began to see Amelda immediately after entering the interrogation room.
As soon as I recognized his face, Amelda began to feel the anxiety she had felt as she entered the place deepened.
"brown… Bishop Brutus?"
"Long time no see... Amelda."
Her teacher, who was working as a paladin, was the person who gave the line to the Empire and the Tribal Union so that Amelda could enter the Brave Party.
At the same time, because of that, Amelda, who returned after a failed mission, is the person she would most like to meet.
At this, Amelda sat down in front of Bishop Brutus, feeling even more guilty about the failure that had been deeply rooted in her.
"I just heard the story. In the end, this hero also failed to subdue the Demon King."
"B.. yes.. that.. yes.."
A bishop who speaks in an extremely heavy voice.
Seeing it, Amelda struggled to answer in a voice that was half crawling, gripped by deep tension.
Her teacher, Bishop Brutus, who was always strict and emphasized principles.
To Amelda, he had personal respect, but at the same time he also had a fear of its rigor.
The fact that she had to lie in front of such a teacher from now on began to put an even deeper burden on Amelda's heart.
But.
Even in this situation, Amelda tried with all her might to control her emotions and calm herself.
'G.. let's calm down. No matter how much my opponent is called Master, the future of Torare-sama and his colleagues is at stake. As calmly as possible.. As long as you speak what you have prepared...'
Amelda managed to harden her heart by remembering the face of the person she loved so much.
Then, looking at the teacher in front of her, she carefully tried to put a lie in her mouth.
By the way..
"Amelda.."
"you… yes?"
Brutus talks to Amelda, who was about to open her mouth, in a momentarily softened voice.
Then, on his face, the feelings of earnestness and concern, not the chill of the past, began to appear thickly.
"main… Bishop... sir?"
Amelda began to feel an unexpected embarrassment at the fact that her teacher, who was always strict, had this unusual attitude.
and.
Towards such Amelda, Bishop Brutus began to speak in a voice full of earnestness.
"Please, I want you to tell the truth accurately."
"yes? Ah..b..yes..mh.. Of course I would. How could I dare to tell a lie in front of Master?"
Of course, in Amelda's mind, the idea of sharing the story of selling the warrior to her master was firmly established, but she said it with her mouth.
But right after that...
While holding her hand tightly, the bishop began to speak in a more intense voice.
"For sure.. for sure
You should do that! If only you don't tell the truth! Unless you tell me the obvious reason that the hero had no choice but to lose!
Our elven nation will fall into a great crisis like this!"
"you… yes?"
Brutus brings up an unexpected story.
At this, Amelda's face began to show a moment of astonishment.
"That… what does that mean, Master? Eh.. Is the elven kingdom in danger?"
It is incomprehensible from her point of view.
A story that is not so shocking in itself.
With a face full of fear that he had never shown before in front of his disciple, Brutus told Amelda about the present situation.
In connection with the defeat of the warrior entrusted with the oracle of the Pope,
He began to talk about the crisis of the Elven State and the Pope.
and..
"… That... that... Something like that…"
As a result, it was only at this moment that Amelda began to realize that she was faced with a very fatal and important choice.
"Come on, come on, tell me the truth! Why was the oracle of the Holy Father not fulfilled! What is the reason why the prophecy of Neltoraon-sama, who gave him the will of God, was wrong!"
Having completely lost his usual composure, Brutus begged almost as if screaming.
Seeing him like this...
Amelda was in a situation where she could not tell the 'false' she had been preparing for.
If she tells the story she has prepared here, there will probably be no major problems with her life.
But... now that I have heard the story of Brutus,
The moment Amelda told the story, she became quite certain that she would do great harm to her homeland, the elven kingdom, and her people.
On the one hand, the safety of colleagues and individuals.
On the other hand, Amelda was put in a position where she had to make a choice while putting the safety of her motherland and countless people on the line.
And in this regard...
After much deliberation, Amelda had no choice but to make a decision.
"Sa.. Actually… It's a horse."
A moment of deep guilt and sadness.
But..
Keeping those feelings forcibly buried in your heart.
Amelda began to open her mouth with difficulty as she saw Bishop Brutus in front of her.
"what… It was all because of that man.. T..Torare That man seduced us... the female warriors of the Hero Party... so that we betrayed the hero..."
In the end, Amelda chose her country and her people rather than her colleagues.
But... it wasn't just because of his patriotism for his country.
That part was also a big part of it, but there was another decisive reason for her to change her mind at the end.
At the last moment, the appearance of Terra glimmering in front of her eyes.
Resolutely sold over for the survival of her comrades, she was considered to be very similar to Amelda's current situation.
And naturally, this was a decisive moment that made Amelda feel guilty and eventually abandon her comrade.
'Yeah... In this situation, except for Torare-sama, the two people would be more than enough to abandon me. Rather...'
*
Eileen is being 'interrogated' by a junior she hasn't seen in a long time.
However, the relationship between the two. The conversation that started under the name of interrogation changed from a moment to a feeling as if you were meeting a friend at a tea house and having a conversation.
"That's right!
That hero... no, Ellen. He was only seemingly plausible, but in reality he was utter nonsense. He said, 'It's an oracle.
I was so scared of that momentum that I was beaten without even swinging a sword!"
"I see. I heard rumors of defeat, but it must have been that much."
Rafael nodded slowly while listening to the explanation of the situation.
Looking at him, Eileen spoke in a short, dissatisfied voice.
"Damn… that
If the pathetic bastard had endured a little, we would have been able to wipe out the demon king's minions and pluck the demon king's head with our own strength...
What do you do when you are strong? In the end, my mind was rotten and I couldn't do anything when it was important."
"That is very unfortunate. How dare you miss the opportunity to end the war right in front of you because of the hero's ugliness."
"who
no! My whole life as a childhood friend of a guy like that makes me feel ashamed. Still, it seems to me that there is an end somehow
I wanted to, but in the end, I was pushed by my strength and failed like this. Luckily, the porter who broke in barely managed to survive thanks to an escape scroll.
there was."
In fact, Eileen knew that the demon lord's power was at a level they couldn't handle.
But apart from that truth,
Eileen is
As I said with the party members in advance, there is a need to somehow wrap this up with raising the trora and mercilessly taking down the hero.
As much as there was, he was unraveling the low tide with bluff and gossip.
So, after blaming the hero, Eileen leaned back on the chair with a dissatisfied expression on her face.
Seeing her like this, Raphael nodded slowly with a smile on the corner of her mouth and began to reiterate what he had heard and organized.
"Clean up
To put it bluntly, the warrior, who was frightened by the sight of the demon king, was defeated in a battle, and in the aftermath, the warriors of the hero party eventually got the help of a porter.
I had no choice but to retreat slowly. Is it something like that?"
"Yeah, right. If there is something that you feel is lacking, it's okay to call someone else to fight it. After all, everyone who was there clearly saw the ugly end of the hero."
"No, you don't have to. Because this was exactly what you and His Majesty had hoped for."
"What?"
Raphael brings up an unexpected story.
In response to this, Eileen's face began to appear suspicious along with the situation that had been considered strange.
'By the way, this time. There were a lot of strange things, starting with the way I was carefully interrogated while using the solitary room together. That's... '
While harboring doubts about the current situation, which is so dubious,
Eileen asked Raphael in front of her with a cold voice.
"Also… is there something Regarding the failure of this hero party."
"Yes, there is. And, it was my role this time to pass it on to my senior and make it work, but it seems like I should just tell the truth as it is without any manipulation."
Raphael responds to Eileen's words with a seriousness that cannot be compared with the previous interrogation.
and immediately after that,
After Raphael reflexively checks that there are no ears around him.
As it is, he began to tell Eileen one fact carefully in Eileen's ear.
that..
"That… that… is it really?"
"Yes, as the High Minister appointed by His Majesty, the seniors must have known, right?... Your Majesty is planning to carry out 'the work' at this opportunity."
"ah… "
At Raphael's words, Eileen looked as if something was coming for a moment.
But right after that, Eileen urgently asked a question related to a fact that came to mind.
"ruler… Wait a minute, then what happens to the other guys caught? Even if Shude is the case, what about Amelda?"
Eileen asks a question out of embarrassment.
Regarding this, Raphael spoke in a bittersweet voice.
"That elf paladin… It will probably be difficult to survive."
"!..."
Eileen with a hard expression on her face at Raphael's words.
Watching her look like she was shocked by her colleague's unfortunate fate...
Raphael said to Eileen with a look of genuine regret.
"The elves also
As I am not an idiot, I did respond to some extent. Bishop Brutus over there in the interrogation room is the result. However… okay
If you do, it won't be of much use. After all, we have already dealt with that on our side."
"… "
Eileen could easily recognize what Raphael had written on the hand he was talking about.
And what will happen to Amelda as a result.
and.
Recognizing these facts,
A sentence began to automatically output in Eileen's head.
'Good! Hopefully this will reduce the number of competitors by one more!'
EP.30 Throwing darkness into love and truth.
"Ugh… Is that so?"
"Yes, Shud-sama."
The 'Interrogator' is kneeling politely in front of him.
This time, he is a person who secretly infiltrated the wizarding kingdom while hiding his identity in order to understand the status.
Through the words of the man who was originally her servant,
Shud began to think that the overall turning phase was going very interestingly.
'The failure of this hero's party was like that... There is no end to human greed, but the emperor's desire is to the point where the end cannot be known. Well... that's the same with our Majesty King's Majesty.'
The warrior parties who have been dispatched for the actual assassination and extermination of the Demon King several times so far have continued to fail.
Nevertheless, as the keynote of hitting the snake's head is meaningful, there has never been a big noise about it.
But... apart from such countless failures.
The defeat of the Hero Party once again was about to bring about a huge typhoon that was different from before.
A strong typhoon associated with the dirty battle of politics, not simply because of military losses.
that…
All the while, he had been sleeping inside the racial union.
The Pope of the Elven State
It was related to the power struggle between the emperors of the Falcon Empire.
"So, how far does the Emperor seem to plan to proceed with this?"
"I don't know for sure, but I think it's probably going to be a literal ending. Right now, we even asked His Majesty the Demon King to cooperate."
"but… There have been several times similar to the present, but it was the first time that the gap in power between the Elf Kingdom and the Falcon Empire had widened this much. It is probably natural to try to catch the cause that came at a time like this."
With those words, Shud slowly drank the teacup and began to reconsider the current situation.
An elf nation that has ruled the religion of the continent under the name of a race chosen by the world tree and the gods.
Although its national power was limited due to the very small population of the elves, the religious authority of the elven state for hundreds of years was nevertheless spread across the continent.
The places represented by the temples built by the elves were located in large and small towns on the continent, becoming religious strongholds.
The strong religious sentiment from there and the huge 'offerings' collected through it have been a major factor in making even the most powerful Falcon Empire not take lightly the elf nation.
Although its own population is small like this, the Elf Kingdom is exerting great influence over the countries of the continent by using the fence of religion.
But..
The powerful religious authority of the Elven State and the Pope, which has continued for so many years.
Naturally, it has always been regarded as a thorn in the eyes of the Falcon Empire, which is aiming for a position as a country with the strongest national power on the continent.
The Falcon Empire, who wants to neutralize the influence of the Elven State and reign as the only and unwavering ruler of the continent.
for this
The emperor tried to shake the situation by nurturing priests like Amelda and entrusting them with religious duties, but
Nevertheless, he could not shake the authority of the elven pope, who was so strong.
But..
In this situation, the hero's party incident occurred.
Unlike so far,
The disastrous defeat of the Hero Party, which began with high expectations than usual, with a huge halo called the 'Pope's oracle'.
This is the Emperor and the Empire
From the standpoint, it became a good excuse to shake the authority of the pope and the elven state, which had been in an absolute position, from its roots.
In this regard, the emperor was already in the process of making preparations for the official accusation of the pope.
The fact that Shud and other warriors of the Brave Party are separately interrogating is also part of this plan.
and..
With regard to this soon-to-be-coming storm,
Shud started to smile as he calculated how he should behave.
'It's a confrontation between the Pope and the Emperor... To be honest, there's nothing bad about us. After all, after finishing that Demon Kingdom, they will become enemies...'
Thinking like that,
Shud put down his teacup, feeling relaxed, thinking that whichever side wins, it will be beneficial to her and the wizarding kingdom.
A few minutes ago, before entering this room, it was Shud who had an uneasy feeling inside.
However, the moment I discovered the figure of Suha in front of my eyes.
And the moment you realize that there is a political dynamic behind it.
Shud could recognize the fact that the Magic Kingdom had already reached out to this place, and since then, he has been comfortably accepting the situation as if it was a vacation.
Of course, apart from that, Shud had to hide his wealth and protect the other colleagues. To be honest, for Torare, as I said before, he spoke up.
In addition, as this is a story that matches the existing plan of the Demon King who agreed to cooperate with the emperor,
In a way, it could be said that Shud was actually moving the magic king and emperor as they wanted.
'As a result, our lies will not be exposed. And even if he somehow finds out the truth, the emperor would rather bury it while defining it as a lie.'
So, I thought I was lucky in many ways.
At the same time,
nevertheless..
A little regretful at the fact that I couldn't completely let Amelda go, which I wanted to completely erase at this opportunity.
A cold smile began to form on Shud's lips.
'Even so, I will not be able to disappoint the expectations of His Majesty the Sorcerer King. In the end, even for this me and Torare-sama to build a sweet future alone... '
*
Amelda told the story that the hero was defeated because of the betrayal of the female warriors.
Strictly speaking, it might be difficult to say that the betrayal itself had a direct relationship with the hero's defeat.
To tell the truth, this is simply because the hero was weaker than expected and the demon lord was stronger than expected.
It could be said that talking about the pope's oracle was, in fact, just bullshit.
However..
There was nothing wrong with making up a story like this for her, who had been determined to tell a lie in the first place.
Even now, as there is a good cause, not for personal gain, but for the country and compatriots, there was also very little hesitation in voicing lies.
and..
About the lies mixed with this truth of her,
Brutus's face began to show a deep look of astonishment.
"that… Did you mean that... it happened? How... how can such a nonsensical thing happen..."
As a result of losing their minds to mere porters, the female warriors of the Hero Party have kicked off the God-given opportunity and betrayed the expectations of many.
Brutus began to tremble with intense anger.
Seeing him like this, Amelda bowed her head and wept.
"sorry! I… Even if I acted a little straight... Even if I didn't fall for the porter's threat and betray the hero... !"
In fact, she was also one of the instigators who passed on to Torare and carried out the work.
However, there was no need to talk about such a thing at the point in time when she chose 'the safety of her motherland' by abandoning her colleagues who were highly likely to abandon her according to the current state of the country anyway.
A sense of guilt still remained in his heart, but such feelings were able to be neutralized to some extent through his life, 'They must have abandoned themselves anyway.'
In the first place, it was even more so because it was the person who was at risk in the current situation, not the others.
'Anyway, already
It's spilled water. What's wrong with devoting yourself to your country and your compatriots? Yeah all this for the country
You made an impossible choice. Taking those I can get in the process is just a bonus.'
While shedding tears, Amelda shifts the blame to her colleagues by pretending that she was also a victim.
and about this,
Brutus said to Amelda, as if now was not the time to worry about that.
"Stop it, I don't have time to apologize now. If we don't tell the truth exactly, somehow, it's going to be really irreversible."
"I agree. Obviously, the humans of that evil warrior party will fall for the emperor's tricks and give false testimony without hesitation. Defaming the hero's honor will be beneficial to them as well."
Unlike the time when he had been obsessed with edgy, the teacher seemed to have regained his usual coolness again.
At this, Amelda recognized the fact that her teacher had come to believe her lie, and began to breathe a deep sigh of relief.
"Still, I'm happy for now. To hear that the person in charge of that task was a person named Eileen, the emperor's high-ranking official... If this fact were known, the emperor's cause to take advantage of this would also be damaged."
"yes! That's right. That evil woman... It is absolutely unacceptable to do such a thing while in the position of a high priest who serves the gods, no matter how fake they are appointed by the emperor."
Amelda scolds Eileen without hesitation at the teacher's words.
As long as she had already made up her mind, there was no reason to look back any more, she was continuing the offensive for self-defense as actively as possible.
And, seeing Amelda's attitude like that, Brutus slowly nodded and spoke to her in a serious voice.
"If there is no time to delay, we must move as soon as possible before the Emperor fabricates and proclaims the testimony of such a heroic party."
"I think so too."
After saying those words, Brutus immediately got up from his seat.
Shortly thereafter, he used the key he had as an interrogator to release the magic-suppressing handcuffs from Amelda's hands.
"Let's leave right now. Before the Emperor gets a clue... you must return to your home country and tell the truth. No matter what happens to me, surely. Do you know what I mean?"
"yes! I understand, Master. We will surely make the world aware of the atrocities of those dirty warriors and bring justice!"
To the words of Brutus who spoke with a determined will, Amelda responded with a firm tone.
certainly…
With a determination to show the world the gura she created.
EP.31 As planned...
- Clap!
The interrogation room door opened with a sharp sound.
At the same time, the soldiers guarding the entrance stood in front of them, straightening their weapons.
"…what are you doing now?"
"Excuse me. But there was an order that it was strictly forbidden to take out criminals."
The soldiers look at Amelda standing in the back and say a warning.
Regarding this, Brutus spoke in a voice that seemed absurd.
"Is this the interrogator who came in charge of investigating the criminal? What's the problem with me moving with a criminal?"
"It was an order from above. Please refrain from doing anything that could cause any trouble."
"We even got permission to use coercive means if necessary. You cannot do anything to take a criminal out."
"Coercive?"
Brutus let out a cold voice as if he was offended by the soldier's words.
At the same time, in an instant, a sign of unusual power began to writhe in his body.
As a bishop who has been educating the Holy Knights, Brutus possesses formidable fighting power.
His spirit mixed with these warnings automatically gave the soldiers a cool feeling.
However, despite Brutus' actions, the soldiers who received the order spoke with a firm voice.
"We are just following orders."
"Even if you are an interrogator, rules are rules. Please do not cause any fuss!"
The soldiers showed an attitude that they would not back down even an inch.
Seeing them like this...
Brutus was silent for a moment, then...
Soon after, he sighed and began to unravel the evil presence.
"Haha, okay. Then you can't do it."
With those words, Brutus goes forward alone, leaving Amelda in the room as it is.
As a result, the soldiers gathered their weapons and tried to close the door to the interrogation room at the same time.
By the way..
"Uh-huh!"
"ね!"
The next moment, the soldiers suddenly felt as if they were short of breath and began to sit down on the floor.
Amidst the sudden rush of pain, the soldiers somehow tried to announce the situation by making a sound.
However, the pressure in the neck, which made breathing difficult, made it impossible for them to even make a sound.
After a while, the soldiers just passed out with bubbles as they were.
Shortly thereafter, Amelda dragged the body of one of them down into the room and closed the door.
And after a while.
"Are you done?"
"yes. Everything has been changed."
Amelda answers Brutus' question while wearing a helmet for the last time.
At this moment, she was wearing the armor of the soldier who had been guarding the entrance to the interrogation room just before, not the paladin outfit she normally wore.
Immediately after finishing preparations to escape, Brutus and Amelda threw the soldiers into the room and locked the door firmly.
As soon as they find out that they have pulled out their swords from this side, they will use this as an excuse to attack them like punishment.
Although it was a workaround that was terribly ineffective, they had to do this to earn as much time as possible.
"Okay, then let's go. I'm in disguise, but I don't know when I'll be caught, so hurry up."
"Yes, Master."
With those words, Amelda hurriedly left the prison ward.
And, right after they disappeared.
The one who was hiding in the dark and watching it began to act quietly.
*
Achilles Decline
One of the three generals of the Falcon Empire and the person who oversees the defense here.
At this moment, as he received the report that had just been posted to him, he began to show a cold smile on his lips.
"okay… You mean that elf bishop did that?"
"Yes, yes, General. Attacking my soldiers guarding the prison for no reason. They're taking their armor and getting criminals out."
"Oh my God, no matter how much you call it an alliance, to commit such a thing in the heart of the Empire. That Bishop Brutus did something reckless."
Achilles showing a very pleasant look while talking
Literally, watching him as if he could see his idea of 'as planned' at a glance, the managers present also began to respond with cold smiles on their faces.
"Doesn't this obviously mean that the elves have something to say about the Brave Party?"
"I think so too. Otherwise, there would be no way such a reckless act would have taken place in the heart of this empire."
"Please give the order right away. The warden will go and catch those filthy elves and bring them back."
It was the Falcon Empire's side who initially threatened, but it was the Elf Bishop and the Paladin who used real force in response to it anyway.
The law of uncertainty is that even if the opponent threatened with a knife, he could turn the person who defeated the opponent by striking the first blow into a bad guy.
In the present case as well, regardless of the post-war background, punishing the elves who drew their swords first could be treated as a very natural and just thing both legally and diplomatically.
So, immediately after confirming the fact that a 'just cause' was secured.
Achilles immediately finished all preparations and gave orders to the waiting men.
"Let's go right now. Arrest all the elves who betrayed the alliance!"
"Your general!"
*
"ね… "
"Uh… how… how long has it been since we came out?"
The troops immediately after exiting the prison wing.
The moment I saw the soldiers completely besieging the path they were trying to pass,
Brutus couldn't help but frown at the fact that what he had feared had happened.
In fact, Brutus already knew that the overall mood was likely to go this way.
However, from Brutus's point of view, it was very clear that Amelda and himself would be engulfed in the false testimonies of other Brave Party members if they stayed still.
In the end, Brutus was forced to make a choice in a dead end.
But..
So it was by no means that he was just gambled recklessly.
"Amelda. You must escape to the east gate right now. With that outfit, you will be able to escape by getting caught among the soldiers."
"yes? Ha... But what about Master?"
"Don't worry about me, no matter this or that, I'm here representing the Elf Kingdom. It must not be easy for them to touch guests from other countries."
"Master.. Sir.."
With those words, Brutus looked at Amelda and smiled lightly.
Seeing his face for the first time since he was born, Amelda instantly sensed something.
However, Amelda was unable to elaborate further on this.
This is because, at this moment, the master has come to understand what he wants from him.
"If we meet again in the future, let me buy you a meal. So make sure you get out safely."
"… .egg… I guess... It is."
"Okay, go."
So, after bowing her head to the last word of her teacher, Amelda starts running in the opposite direction.
After watching the last appearance of such a disciple, Brutus hardened his expression again and turned his head.
'You must come back alive... The fate of the kingdom... the fate of our race depends on you.'
With that thought in mind, Brutus slowly began to appear in front of the soldiers.
and..
The moment I found him like this,
The soldiers immediately drew their weapons and started approaching this way.
In the first place, the soldiers clearly show that they are a foreign guest and that they will come out hard no matter what.
As if he knew that, Brutus gathered his magic as it is, and made as much noise as possible so that the disciple could escape as easily as possible.
He began preparing to make a fuss at the cost of his life.
"For the sake of the Church…"
*
Immediately after breaking up with her teacher with tears in her eyes, Amelda moved to escape as quickly as possible.
Fortunately, thanks to the master's disturbance, the pursuers were nowhere to be seen.
Even so, the main passageways were still blocked by the soldiers, and there was a risk of being caught if wrongly approached.
Fortunately, she was wearing the armor of the Imperial soldiers now, but if she did a checkpoint, she would be discovered as it is.
'I can't do it.. Wait a bit, bury it in the moving unit, and then let's escape. All you have to do is get out of this castle and go straight into the forest.'
He would have been able to avoid the checkpoint if he hid among the soldiers who are still roaming around.
In addition, it is quite difficult for a human to catch an elf fleeing using the forest.
When Amelda was devising her own escape route,
She began to see a group of soldiers passing by just in front of her.
'Good. If you just get stuck in the middle of those guys...'
With that thought in mind, Amelda hides behind a pillar and sneaks into the ranks of the soldiers.
As long as they were wearing the same armor anyway, she was sure that there would be no spot if they didn't look closely.
By the way..
-puck!
"!!… "
In the next moment, a sudden, intense pain and a sensation of paralysis all over the body from poison.
Completely unexpected, in a way that she could not even feel, Amelda fell to the ground as if toppling over.
'What... a blow that I can't even detect? That.. that's the case...'
That means that the person who flew this blow is one of the most powerful in the Empire.
However, apart from these thoughts, Amelda fell to the floor in vain without even lifting a finger.
"It's a guy wearing marked armor!"
"Come on, call the general. I caught the elf who tried to escape!"
Immediately after that, the soldiers begin to surround her as it is.
Among them, Amelda felt a deep despair and began to feel her consciousness slowly disappearing.
'ah… no… not… okay... '
