72 Episode 10 Adopted Children





 One month has passed.

 After a good meal, a warm bed, and a good night's sleep, Nia is feeling much better.
 Not long ago, she was hobbling unsteadily, her face was ashen, and she was so skinny that her bones stood out, like a zombie in a panic movie. ......

 But now, his color has improved and he can walk properly.
 He still needs medical treatment, though.

 And ......

 "Um, ...... Mr. Hercule. What are you going to do now?
 I thought I'd introduce you to my fiancé.
 ...... Your fiancée?

 The tone of Nia's voice drops.
 You'll be able to see the reason for Nia's depression, but Hercule pretends not to care and walks with Nia behind him.

 Nia walks along, looking around scamperingly.

 This is the first time Nia has been out of her room.
 A long corridor with beautiful paintings and vases here and there and fluffy carpets: ......

 It was the first time in Nia's twelve years of life.

 It was the first time in Nia's twelve years of life that she had somehow
 I've always had a vague idea that Hercule was an incredibly important man. ......

 However, when I walked around Hercule's "mansion", I realized the difference in status.

 In the event that you have any questions concerning where and how to use the internet, you can contact us at the following web site: .......

 I'm not sure what to make of this.

 In an agonizing mood, Nia chased after Hercule's back.

 How many minutes did they walk?
 Finally, she reached a large room.

 There were a number of people there, also very important people.

 There were two women.
 One with red hair, the other with blue.

 There were eight men.
 One was a large man with red hair, another with blue hair who looked vaguely like Hercule. And Lucanos, a man with a neutral appearance.
 There was also a man with a face like Hercule's, a warbeast man, a black human, a dour-looking man with a hooked nose, and a kind-looking man.

 In addition, there were many other people in very expensive clothes.

 Nia's heart was beating wildly.

 Hercule made Nia stand in front of them, as if to push her forward.

 "Here, introduce yourselves for now. They're saying stupid things like they'll die if they make eye contact with a Nightmare. Show them they're harmless.
 "Uh, yeah, .......

 Nia stepped forward at Hercule's urging.
 The gaze of curiosity, disgust, fear, sympathy, and many other ...... emotions pierced Nia.

 I'm ...... Nia, by the way. I'm twelve years old and I'm a ...... nightmare. But until the age of ten, I was human,......, so ...... I'm ancestral, and my parents were human. I'm also a ......, you know, a ...... messianic, orthodox!

 Shaking her voice, Nia introduced herself.
 Seeing this, he felt that Nia seemed harmless, and his gaze of disgust and fear weakened.

 I'm not going to bother you. I'm not going to bother you. ...... So, since I have nowhere else to go, please let me stay here for a while. I'm very grateful to Hercule (・・・・・・) for picking me up. ......

 At that moment, they all frowned at the same time.
 Nia shakes her body.

 She wondered if she had made a mistake.

 A woman with red hair steps forward.

 "...... didn't explain it to you, by any chance?
 "Look, surprises are important. You think so too, don't you, Karolina?

 The woman with the red hair ...... sighed.
 Then she walked up to Nia.

 "Nia. Do you know what kind of person this man is?
 What? You can find a lot of people who are looking for the best way to get the best results. And a very great one,.......

 I'm sure you've heard of it.

 This is the monarch of this country. The Lemurian emperor, Hercule I. After ......, it is impolite to call him by his first name, so please call him Your Majesty.
 "Huh? This is the emperor ...... of the Lemurian Empire, Her Majesty .......

 Nia turned around and looked at Hercule's face.
 Hercule smiled.

 I'm sorry I'm late to tell you my name. Nia. I am Hercule. Emperor Hercule I of the Lemurian Empire. It's nice to meet you.
 Yeah, yeah, yeah. !!!!!!






 "This is in poor taste, ......, Your Majesty.

 Kristoff frowned.
 I'm sure this is heartbreaking.

 "No, you should have known my name was Hercule in the first place. A citizen of my country should be able to remember my name.


 ...... The name Hercule is not that rare to begin with. It's not unreasonable that you don't know the name, since "His Majesty the Emperor" is sufficient for ordinary people. ...... is not an act to be admired. 

 Galfis also condemned Hercule's "game" in a roundabout way.

 It is strange that the people of Lemuria do not know the name of their emperor.
 It may seem strange that the people of Lemuria do not know the name of their emperor. ......

 In the first place, it is impolite to call the emperor by his name.
 Therefore, he is usually called "His Majesty the Emperor".

 In other words, there is no opportunity to call or use the name.

 This is why some ordinary people say, "Long live the Emperor! Long live our great emperor! Long live the Emperor, whom God has given us! What? What's the name of the emperor? Of course I know his name. Let's see, ......? What was it again? There are many people who say, "What's that?



 Because they don't hear it and don't use it.


 In the same way, it is difficult for Nia to immediately associate "Hercule" with the emperor of her country.

 I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry I made fun of you.
 "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! Your Majesty, here! Your Majesty, I beg you to forgive me for everything I've done!
 "Just take a deep breath and calm down. Your honorifics are all messed up.

 I'm not sure what to say, but I'm sure you'll understand.
 I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not.

 "I'm sorry for my rudeness .......
 "No, it's okay. I didn't know, so I can't help it. Besides, it's half my game. Now, let's get down to business. Introductions, I believe.

 Hercule points to Karolina and Lunalie.

 "This is my fiancée, Carolina and Lunalee. They're still a little wary of you, but they'll probably get used to you. And this is Galfis, the assault uncle. The blue one over here is Christophe. He's the unfortunate one who hasn't been seen in three chapters. And this is Edmond. He's my brother. He doesn't have any special skills, but he doesn't have any weaknesses either. He's easy to use. This black panther is Darios, he's a pothead. This black one here is Oscar, the most sensible and least interesting of the bunch. The one with the hooked nose and money is Shylock, the Six Star. He's one of you in that he's bullied. The nice looking one over here is Antonio. There's also a big blonde girl who isn't here but hasn't even shown her face since the beginning of chapter three, a fox girl who showed up in the middle of chapter two and has been missing ever since, my cross-bellied brother who shows up every once in a while, and my cross-bellied sister whose name is mentioned but whose face doesn't show up, but I'll introduce them later.

 Hercule introduced them one by one.
 Nia's head almost boils as she is introduced to a list of great people that she would never even see in her normal life.

 But he doesn't care about Nia, and continues with the introductions.
 And ......

 "Finally, this is Lucanus Lucarius. This is Lucanos Lucarios, the man who healed you and saved your life. His profession is ...... Archbishop of Nova Lemuria. Well, he's not as big as me, so don't be so nervous.
 "It's nice to meet you, Nia. I'm not as big as you, I'm more like you, so don't be nervous.
 "The Archbishop? Huh? The Bishop of Nova Lemuria? Yes, yes! I'm looking forward to working with you. ......

 Perhaps only the Emperor of Lemuria or a medium can say that Lucanos is not a great man.
 In the Messianic world, Lucanos is next to the Emperor of Lemuria, the Medium, and the Archbishop of Lemuria.

 He's also the man who's going to be your father.
 "I see! Daddy? Really? Dad?

 Nia tilts her head.
 Lucanos tilts his head too.

 Seeing this, Hercule laughs with amusement.

 "Yeah, you and your son look alike. Good, good, good. So long, Lucanos. I'll take care of the rest. ......
 "Wait, wait, wait, wait! What's a father and what's a son?


 "No, you're going to adopt Nia. That's how you read it.

 Hercule's bombshell sent everyone into a frenzy.
 This guy is insane. The crowd looks at Hercule as if he's insane.

 "Why me?
 One, I don't discriminate against Nightmares. Two, you said a long time ago that you wanted to have children. Three, you can't make any mistakes without a dick. That's all!
 I'd like to have a child." "That's absurd. ...... Well, I do want a child.

 It's not just that they don't have seeds, but that they don't have male genitalia to begin with.
 But he has already come to terms with that.

 However, he has no wife, no children, and the cute and adorable emperor-elect (Hercule), whom he took good care of until recently, has become a bit of a brat. I want a girl.

 Hercule had remembered this.

 He said, "Well, if you really don't want to, I won't force you. You can't build a good parent-child relationship if you force me. Well, if you really don't want to do it, I can't help it. Oh, that's too bad.
 "...... I understand. I'll take it. Yes, even though they are Nightmare, they are still Messianic.

 For Lucanos, some six-star Shylock or blasphemous fox (Hupatia) are much more unacceptable than Nia.

 The Nightmare Nia is more acceptable to me as a messianist.

 Besides, ......
 Lucanos had an academic interest in the Nightmare.

 Lucanos recalled the time when he asked Hercule why he had picked up Nia, why he had saved her, and what his true intentions were without any ...... pretense.
 At that time, Hercule said.

 Well, to be honest, the kid's death doesn't hurt me. It makes me feel bad, but we're not particularly close and I'll soon forget about it. ...... I'm personally interested in the Nightmare race. I'd like to find out what they can do. I want to find out what they are capable of. And if they're good, I can use them as vassals in the future.

 (Perhaps His Majesty is implicitly ordering me to study the Nightmare race.

 Lucanos understood Hercule's true intentions.

 "Okay, it's settled. You've got a daddy now!
 "Daddy? Papa ......, the Archbishop of Nova Lemuria, is your papa? Is this a dream? Well, I'm ...... hallucinating. ......
