"So, this year's Lords Conference

　To that question, he - King Raed-Glorio-Aricia - answered, looking through the stack of papers.

Early . When the Marquis of Lerga and the frontier counts of Derog come out, seize them on the spot. If they do not come out, then send your army as traitors. Be ready.

I'll get it for you right away. What do you want to do about the food problem in King's Landing?

It is the fault of the royal family-or rather, my failure to do so. Find money from my wealth to buy food from the merchants and distribute it with the food confiscated by the army. The merchants who have suffered losses from this incident must also be compensated properly. If you don't have enough money, you can sell the castle's furnishings.

　After giving such instructions, the king suddenly noticed a strange feeling and said, "Hmm? And look up.

　I looked and saw that somehow his confidant was smiling at me.

　This man was his vassal before he became king. That's why I trust this man more than anyone else and entrust him with many tasks.

　More than half of the king's allies were killed or imprisoned when the commotion occurred at the castle, but the man managed to escape from the castle just before he was captured.

The king heard from the holy knights that he had been working behind the scenes to rescue the king by providing detailed information about the castle and recruiting other troops besides the holy knights to his side.

　He was very glad to see his best friend, whom he thought was already dead, alive after so many misfortunes.

What's the matter?

No, I'm very happy to see that His Majesty is doing so well.

　The king chuckles at his confiding words.

Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to handle this pile of paperwork.

However, I can still feel the spiritedness of the past when I see His Majesty today. It is a pleasure to have served His Majesty for so many years, as it reminds me of the past.

"Huh ......

　--Perhaps it was the man who did it.

"Your Majesty?

No, it's nothing. Okay, let's make that happen.

"Ha, awe,

　After seeing off the man of conscience who had left the room, the king is lost in thought.

　--The man who appeared suddenly in front of him while he was being held in prison.

　It was a strange young man.

　He seemed to have come to save you, but then he should have just kept quiet and sold his favor to the king, but he revealed his demon status and simply told you his purpose.

　Humans and demons. The history of the struggle between the two is long, and even today, the two sides are still engaged in daily skirmishes.
　Moreover, in recent years, the rise of people with radical ideas of human supremacy has been remarkable, and because of this, humans have long been at odds with not only demons but also subhumans and beastmen.

　Also, the reason why he was not killed but only put in jail was to extract the forbidden magic (・・・・) that this country possesses from him.

　Because of the country's age, and therefore the many times it has been in danger, there is a last line of defense known only to royalty.
　That filthy prisoner interrogated his king and laid hands on his daughter, all to get him to speak.

　If such a man suddenly appeared in such a situation, one would normally wonder what he was after: .......

　--I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this in the future.

　You'll be able to find out what you need to do with it, and you'll be able to find out what you need to do with it.

　So I decided to trust the word of a young man and not a demon.

　But I was right.

　Without him, this country probably would have fallen at the hands of those who wanted it to fall. 　
　His own daughter might have been so badly wounded that she would never have been able to smile again.

　And - he might have left this world in doubt and disappointment, not knowing what had happened to his son, Lute.

　I am truly in awe of him, both as a king and as a father.

　Of course, I would be lying if I said I had no feelings for the demon race.
　I'm not going to be able to say that I have no hatred for the demon tribe that controlled my son Lute from behind the scenes, I would be lying to myself if I said I had no hatred for them.


　But-- maybe the time has come when you can't say that.


　The magician believed to be the mastermind wore this gem of a magical instrument.

　As a result of the court's magician team analyzing it, it is known that it probably came from a great country located in the southeast of this country - the Rogard Empire.

　The Rogard Empire is a human state that is dominant in the lower part of the continent, and since becoming the current emperor, it has embarked on many wars of conquest and has become a great threat to the surrounding countries.

　You're going to be able to find out that the magic tools produced in such a human country are somehow in the possession of their enemy, the demon tribe.

　It's possible that the demon tribe just stole it from somewhere and had it in their possession, but it's also possible that's not the case.

　Humans and demons could be working together.

............

　This country is a great power, so it can maintain a military balance against his empire.
　If that equilibrium is broken and this country collapses from within, that country, which is eager to expand its territory, will certainly be happy.

　In addition, the magic tools produced by this country are the core of the United Forces against Demons, so it is not hard to imagine that the human pressure on the demons will be greatly reduced if this country is destroyed, which will be beneficial to the demons.

　I'm sure the Rogaldo empire is also at war with the demons, so it's hard to imagine them joining forces with you.

　--We have to be ready.

　We need to find a way to defend ourselves to repel anyone who tries to kill us and to protect all the people who inhabit our country.

Are you fortunate to be acquainted with the man at ......

　However, it was certainly fortunate for me to make the acquaintance of that incredibly talented and good-natured young man under such circumstances.

　Even if the worst comes to pass, you can still get your daughter to a safe place.

　I hate to sound like I'm trying to play into the goodness of my heart ...... but I'm sure that young man will protect the daughter when she arrives.
　It's a good thing that the young man is also very fond of the young man and will be able to live his life at peace.

　He only hopes for a world where his daughter can live a healthy life.



"Hopefully, from now on, her good young man will be a good neighbor to her: ......
