"I have found you at last, King Chelda. I mistakenly thought you were avoiding me. Well, how could a warrior like you, who has won so many battles, avoid a young man like me? Hahahaha.

　"I've been hoping to meet you too, Emperor of Lemuria. I've heard so much about your work.

　The glass screeched to a halt. ......　
　And though every muscle in King Cerda's body twitched lightly, ...... he managed to respond with a few words of social courtesy.

　I've heard that there's been a lot of trouble with religious and ethnic relations lately. My country would like to avoid a situation where the kingdom of Cerda is in turmoil and pirates are flooding the seas. If you wish, I will support you.

　"...... My internal affairs. It's none of your business. The Kingdom of Chelda is an independent country. You have no right to interfere.

　King Cerda managed to make a safe reply as his subjects looked on in disbelief.

　(Of course, there is nothing more rude than interfering in other people's internal affairs. (*Of course, it's not rude to interfere in other people's internal affairs, but if you want my help, I'll help you.　It's a terrible insult to say to an independent country, "I'll help you if you want me to.

　Oh, excuse me. I mistook you for your own country.

　The glass begins to scream.
　King Chelda's face turns red and his mouth starts to water.

　But just as King Chelda is about to yell, Hercule turns on his heel.

　'Then I will leave. King Chelda. I am confident that we can establish friendly relations with your country.

　Hercule said, taking a few steps before turning back to ......　
　He turned his head back.

　I'm sure we can build a friendship with your country.

　Baleen: ！！！！
　Finally, the glass died.







　"What the hell?　What the hell was that little shit?　I'm gonna f*cking kill him. ！！！！！
　Calm down, please. Your Majesty, the king!
　How can you be so calm? ！！！！

　King Chelda drinks the wine.
　Then, remembering the fact that the wine was from Lemuria and what Hercule had just said, he slammed it down.

　With a bang, the blood-red wine splashes to the ground.

　This is the courtyard of Edelna's palace.
　Somehow, the vassals of the Kingdom of Chelda managed to drag King Chelda out.

　It's obvious that he's going to hit Hercule.

　"We're sorry, Your Majesty. But this is a celebration. If you strike that young man, ...... that man will have his way. Let's end this ...... war, Your Majesty.
　"...... You're right. You're right. That young man ...... is in a good mood just because he won against the infidels. I'll make you regret insulting me and my country.

　Yes, just like that man's father. ......
　King Chelda grinned and smiled.




　After that, King Chelda returned to the hall.
　It was about fifteen minutes later, and there was no sign of any change.

　Bring me some wine. ...... Nothing from Lemuria.
　"Your Majesty. No more booze. ......
　"I can't do without it!

　King Cerda shouts at his men and sends them to get the wine.
　In the meantime, they start to look for something to eat.

　At the banquet, the main focus is on the discussions with the kings and diplomats of each country. ......
　Meals and drinks take a back seat.

　But in this state of mind, it is impossible to have a proper discussion.
　So, King Cerda decided to concentrate on drinking and eating.

　He looked around the table and found a simple dish of olives, cheese, and ham on a skewer.
　The dish was a little unpleasant when eaten alone, but it was quite tasty when served with wine.

　He had always preferred ...... to extravagant cuisine and overly ornate works of art.
　He prefers simple and easy cooking and utilitarian furniture.

　(I can guess that Hercule's taste in this area would be fatally incompatible with mine. Hercule is a man of luxury.

　I immediately went to get the food: ......
　However, two children arrived at the table before King Cerda and began to reach for the food.
　One was a peach-haired girl and the other was a silver-haired girl.

　Both were smiling happily.
　I guess they are friends.

　It was a nice picture of two cute looking girls talking side by side.

　(It's not the kind of food a child would eat. ......)

　(It's not the kind of food that children eat.
　King Cerda is not so rough as to push a child away and take the food.



　Even if he is the king.

　(Hmm?　Wait, what?

　Then King Chellda noticed something strange.
　One of the children had a black horn on his head.

　There is only one race that King Chelda knows of that has black horns.

　The Nightmare.

　A queasy feeling creeps up in my chest.
　Originally, King Chelda was a warbeast supremacist, and he believed that the canine warbeasts were the most superior race in the world.

　For this reason, he disliked the orthodox Messianic religion, which had many followers among the Elves and Humans.

　For him, ......
　I'm not sure what you mean by that.

　That's what's at the dinner party.
　To King Cerda, it's like having a big rat running around in the hall.

　This rat is trying to reach the food that he is about to eat.

　Drunk and lacking normal judgment, King Cerda approaches the food table with his big toe.
　He spat at the Nightmare girl who was reaching for the food.

　Don't touch the food, Nightmare. You'll get dirty. Get the hell out of here.

　The girl shivered and turned around.
　She looked up at King Cerda with a frightened expression.

　"Well, let's see, .......
　'How many times do I have to tell you?　Rats!　Get the hell out of my sight!

　King Chelda shouted at the girl.

　...... If King Chelda wasn't so drunk.
　...... if he hadn't been so annoyed when he met King Fulling.
　...... if that Hercule hadn't egged King Chelda on.

　...... if he had any sense of decency.

　If he had had any sense of normalcy, he could have thought about why the Nightmare was here in the first place before yelling at the girl.
　Then you could have determined that this Nightmare girl was invited by someone or came with someone. ......
　It's also possible to think that the person is someone who has the power to get the Nightmare into the venue.

　And if he is such a person, then he must be the king of each country or ......
　And if he was such a person, he would have been the king of each country, or the patriarch of each patriarchate, or a medium, or a high-ranking cleric of the same bloodline.

　With that in mind, King Cerda could have stopped yelling at the girl for the time being.

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

　In addition, ......　
　In addition to that, you will be relieved to know that the silver-haired girl next to the girl is a strong candidate for the next medium.

　But ......
　But in reality, that's not possible.

　There is no IF in history.

　It was inevitable that King Cerda would drink too much.
　It is also inevitable that King Hrabing will come to greet him.
　And it is also inevitable that ...... Hercule, who was aiming for this situation in the first place, would encourage King Chelda.

　A myriad of inevitabilities piled up and ......
　As a result, a very unfortunate coincidence was born for King Cerda.

　Oh,......, I'm sorry,.......

　The Nightmare girl, Nia, bowed to King Chelda with a tearful face and tried to run away from the scene.
　However, the silver-haired girl, Cecilia, grabbed her hand.

　There's no need to run.

　Cecilia held Nia back and then ......
　Cecilia holds Nia back and then glares at King Cerda.

　"Please apologize.
　"What?　Apologize for what?
　Apologize to Nia. She's an orthodox messianist. All messianics are equal under God. There is no race, no superiority!　No matter what your status or occupation, if you are a ...... messianist, you are equal. Your statement is an insult to Nia, an insult to God (Father) and the Son of God (Messiah)!　Please apologize!!!
　'...... I don't know what you're talking about . Don't lick an adult, okay?　Little girl.

　King Cerda frowns in displeasure.

　(Clergymen? I'm sure you've heard of it. I'm sure you'll be able to find something that works for you. If you're right, then you're equal to me and the medium, aren't you?　This is why you monks piss me off so much. Go pray to your gods. Don't interfere in politics.

　If we were in the country and not dealing with a girl ......
　King Chelda was saying exactly what I thought she was saying.

　But this was a celebration. ......
　His opponent was a girl of about twelve years of age.

　It is too mature to argue with a girl.


　King Chelda is an adult, a king.

　"Hmm ......, well, that's fine.

　King Chelda turns on his heel and turns to leave.
　It's a safe choice.

　......, but that's only if it's not Cecilia.
　There is no way that a girl who would directly criticize the policies of the Emperor of Lemuria would back down at this level.

　"Please apologize!

　Cecilia's clear and beautiful voice was ......
　Cecilia's clear and beautiful voice resonated strangely in the hall.

　What, what?
　The surrounding nobles and clergymen looked at each other.

　King Cerda scratched his head, thinking that he was in trouble.

　Calm down. You're attracting attention.
　"Then apologize.

　King Chelda tried to calm her down, but the girl just stared at him stubbornly and did not move.
　King Chelda felt the blood rushing to his head.

　Why am I being yelled at by this brat?
　What a rude thing to say to the king of a country.
　In addition, he looks less human ...... than the Nightmare, but he is still an inferior species.

　That inferior species is talking to you like you're a big deal.

　All the anger that had been simmering inside King Chelda - frustration with King Fulling and the Emperor of Lemuria - finally exploded in Cecilia's face.

　"Don't you dare talk to me like that!　You're inferior!

　King Cerda swung his arm down at Cecilia.

　Cecilia closed her eyes, bracing herself for the impact on her cheek.
　...... But the impact never came.

　Cecilia opened her eyes.
　And there it was: ......

　"King Chellda. What have you done with the daughter of one of our noble families and the daughter of Peter?　Also, ...... I think I just heard some unpleasant words. Would you like to explain it to me in conjunction with the commotion you just caused?

　Hercule grasped King Cerda's hand firmly as he raised it.
