Alistair and I escaped from King's Landing using the opposite method of infiltrating King's Landing Lisas.
　Escaping from King's Landing was easier than infiltrating.

　Infiltration requires the enemy to be unpretentious, but there is no need for that when escaping.

　It was enough to rampage around in King's Landing before returning home instead of a wayward waste of money, but I weighed it down and headed for the city walls like an assassin, weaving through the narrow streets of the lower town of King's Landing.

　As he approached the city walls, he used 《Flying》 magic to climb up the wall and escape from the royal capital.

　I didn't notice it because it was so dark when I sneaked in, but the city of Reezus looking down from the ramparts was majestic.

　If I looked up at the sky again, it was an endless blue sky.

　So he could afford to enjoy the scenery, but he couldn't just stand here forever.

　Besides, I feel bad for Alistair, but this guy called a princess hugger is tired.
　It's not in the category that requires magic power, but because it uses pure muscle power.

It's a good idea to make sure that you're not going to have to worry about the fact that you're not going to be able to get your hands on any of these things," he said, so that Alistair couldn't hear him.




　The main camp of the demon king, which was laid out on the outskirts of the king's capital, Leasas, where the demon king was seated.

　When she saw me coming back, she said
It was a good cause.
　I spoke up.

　I guess he didn't doubt my success.
　The words escaped before I showed him the seal of state.
　I'm offering the seal to the Demon King.
　The fact that I gave the seal to the king of the world and not directly to Tristan is a matter of formality.
　The Great Seal is only meaningful when it is handed over to Tristan by the Demon King.
　It's not worth it if Alistair or I handed it to you.


　I'm going to return the Great Seal to you personally.


　That act is of great significance.
　It also means to advertise, both inside and outside the country, that the Demon King's Army and Rosalia are not on equal terms with each other.

　Of course, they won't use Tristan as a puppet like Eichs or place him under servitude like the Demon King's Army of old, but they still intend to have Rosalia stand in a subordinate position to them.

　In the world of the previous life, would it be better to say the relationship between Oda Nobunaga and Tokugawa Ieyasu?
　They are not vassals, but they are not equal allies.
　That seems to be the best relationship for the Demon King's Army and Rosalia.　
　There were of course people who objected to that.

　Some of Tristan's close associates protested vehemently, but Tristan himself still seemed to have convinced them.


''I owe the Demon King's army a debt of gratitude. He saved my life and treated me as a guest of honor afterwards. Or, although the historians of the future may call me a coward and traitor for my actions, I would like to walk alongside the Demon King's Army and bring peace and tranquility to this world.


　Tristan himself went around trying to convince his opponents, but it was worth it, and the matter of the subordinate alliance was approved without a problem.

　The demon king returned the national seal to Tristan and thrust the back of his hand out to the boy king.
　He demanded a kiss on the mouth.
　This is an act that clearly establishes a pecking order.

　If the sword awarding ceremony was added to this, he would be a complete vassal, but there was no sword award.

　The close associates have a relieved look on their faces.
　On the other hand, Alistair, who was beside them, did not change his expression in particular.
　She seems to be an overly loyal woman, but what does she think?
　I ask.

''Does Alistair-dono not want to talk about this matter?''

　It was a straightforward question, but she answered it straightforwardly, too.

'I'd be lying if I said I wasn't going to be a mouthful, but I think it's fine with me.

　She takes a breath there and continues.

'I, no, the Rottenmeyer family has been loyal to the royal family for generations, but I do not dream that the prosperity of the royal family will last forever. I wish more for the survival of the Rosarian royal family than for the prosperity of Rosalia.

　As she said this, she turned her gaze to the boy king.
　The expression on her face was filled with the compassionate eyes of a sister staring at her younger brother.

It's a good thing that you're able to get your hands on a few of these things," he said, "because it's not possible to get the seal back, the demon king's army is defeated and His Majesty is not restored to the throne, I was going to take His Majesty and go into exile somewhere else. I had a vision of His Majesty spending time with me as a citizen without any problems.

So that's one way it could happen.

Yes, but that could have been avoided, but now we have a new problem.

　As Alistair said that, he turned around in a certain direction of the royal capital Reezus.

''With the national seal in our hands, we now have to attack the royal capital Reezas. As far as Vizier Eichs and General Ein God's character is concerned, they won't surrender even if the national seal is taken away from them.......''

　I never thought the day would come when I would attack my birthplace....
　Alistair sighs.
　He speaks to her in disappointment.

''If you don't want to fight each other, you can take the policy that the White Rose Knights will not participate in the battle, but...''

　Alistair shakes his head at my suggestion.

''No, this battle is also a civil war in Rosalia. If you leave everything to the Demon King's army, that's exactly what they'll point back at you. I want to avoid that.

　She said stoutly, and then turned to Tristan and declared, "I'm not going to let you go.

　She got down on one knee in front of the boy king.
"Your Majesty, I ask that you allow my Order of the White Rose to join us in this battle.
　He offered.

　Tristan also immediately saw through Alistair's resolve and shook his head slightly, "Mm,
I'm counting on you.
　He added the words, "It's a lucky thing.

　Alistair smiled, "It's a fortuitous thing.
　It was a good master-servant relationship.
　As I mentioned earlier, due to the age difference, they looked like older siblings.
　When I approached the girls, I made a suggestion to them.

''Now is the opportune time to attack Reezus, but before we do that, I need Your Majesty to do something for me.

　When I said that, Tristan turned to me.

'What?'　If I could do anything to help, I would.

'As only Your Majesty can do. You have reclaimed the Seal of State, and you have become the official King of Rosalia. I want you to first show that to everyone at home and abroad.

　The Demon King-sama agreed with those words.

''That's right. First of all, ask the noblemen who are sitting idly by in the provinces to send me a letter. That the official king is you. If you are going to side with Eichis, I would like you to specify that you bear the stigma of treason.

Shouldn't it go so far as to say, 'Take our side'?

　The Boy King asks a simple question.

'That won't be necessary,'

　I'll answer on behalf of the Demon King-sama.

''It might be possible to forcefully give orders like Eichis here, but on the contrary, striking out flexibly will show His Majesty's degree. Besides, even if you don't add such an order, if you have an eye for the world's situation, you'll be on our side without saying anything.

If he still sides with Eichs, he can be punished again after the war.
If he remains neutral, he is a man with a grudge. You can warn him or, later, purge him. To dare to give orders here would only lower your capacity as a monarch.

　The Demon King concludes.
　As expected of Oda Nobunaga. He seems to know all those kinds of conspiracy techniques by heart.
　He supplemented everything I wanted to say.
　I wonder if Tristan has also understood the Demon King's greatness.
　He obeyed the order honestly.

''Then I will immediately send a letter to the lords.

　He left the Demon King's main camp and returned to his own camp.
　I watched them all and turned to look at the Demon King.

Now, Demon King, we are all ready to attack Leezus, but when should we attack the castle?

　It would take a few weeks at the earliest for the letters to reach the local nobles following Eichis.

　It was standard practice to wait for that before attacking, but there was also the option of not waiting for that to happen again and making a foregone conclusion.

　Either way, under this situation, as long as the Alliance of the Various Kings didn't move in earnest, there was no danger of losing, but even so, the Demon King-sama, as the supreme commander of the Demon King's army, had a duty to minimize the damage to the Demon King's army.

　The girl known as the Demon King closed her eyes as if she was meditating and began to think.
　I stared at it in silence and waited for her to make a decision.

　I wasn't going to argue with any decision she made, but the words she asked me were surprising.

　The girl slowly opens her eyes and looks up at me.
　With an expressionless face, she said

'I'll delegate everything to you. Do as you please.''

Do I get to decide?

'What?　Do you disagree?

No, I'm not complaining, but is this a matter for me to decide?

''Unu is the commander of the Demon King's Eighth Legion. Why are you being so modest?

'I'm a greenhorn who just became a corps commander the other day.

"Past lives are a bad habit of the Japanese. Extreme modesty is a bad habit of the Japanese in my previous life. Unu was so successful that he became a military commander. Or do you claim that you became a good friend of mine and moved up in the world?

..........

No, you're not. Then you can be proud. Besides, you've made all the preparations for this conquest of Regus. Then it's only fair that the final nail in the coffin is also your decision.

　The demon king declared that.
"You will be my chief of staff at the war council meeting that follows.
　After saying that, I ordered her to leave the main camp.

　I obeyed her order to leave the camp, but she ended up saying these words to me on my back.

'Your negotiations with Zenobia were excellent. The same goes for this infiltration. If Unu hadn't been under my command, things wouldn't have gone as well as they did.

　He has his usual cold tone, but is it my imagination that I can feel some warmth in his tone?

--I don't know if it's just my imagination, but lately I feel like I've gotten a little closer to the Demon King.

　Of course, the Demon King and I are just superiors and subordinates, but even so, the fact that we can get to know each other's mindset, even if only a little, was supposed to be a good thing.
