264-258 Parents and children




 Lionel knew that his son had been poisoned.
 The face of Lionel's son, Gladys, was clearly dismayed when he was declared so.

''........How could you drink it without hesitation, even though you were aware of the poisoned drink?''
 Gladys turned over, and I got the impression that she had managed to twist the words out of her head.
 It was as if the little one had been caught playing a prank and was waiting for her to be sentenced to punishment.

 Lionel let out a sigh once as he looked at Gladys and began to speak.
''Assassination of a major national figure is a death sentence. And if it was poison, it didn't work on me unless it was substantial. If it didn't work, then it wasn't an assassination, it was just a drink with my son.
"Just because of that..... You're a general of the Empire. There's always an eventuality. And yet...
 Lionel controlled Gladys with his hand.
'It was Mythos's last wish, you know. That one day, when Gladys comes to share a drink with you, you'll give her a proper drink.
...Mother.
 Gladys didn't think there was a reason for that, and she sat down on the spot.
 There's a lot I don't know about Lionel, as well as his master.
 Since Lionel is a nobleman in the first place, is it strange that he's not married... or is he envious?
 I've already finished spinning the magic circle chant, and while listening to their conversation, I'm wary of the movements of Cloud and the demon race.
 Hmm? I thought Lionel looked at me for a moment.
 But was it my imagination, or was Lionel's gaze turned to Gladys.
 I can't read Lionel's intentions, but maybe it's time for a battle.

'It's Gladys. I've already left the Empire. So it doesn't matter what happens to the Empire.
What does it matter... are you not going to go back to the Empire again?
Yeah. So you don't have to worry about it. I'll say it again. I don't even plan to return to the empire but this demonization is the only one done in my name, right?
As a former general of the Empire, you should know the Empire as it is today. With this power, he can unify the continent.
'Gladys. I am already far from the Empire. If Your Majesty is in a state of confusion, this empire must be put right.
 Gladys let Lionel, with his obi sword at the ready, swing his body.
''Yes, yes. Sorry about the excitement, but we can't afford to have the real thing come back to this country now.''
What? What are you doing?
 Cloud moved to Gladys' back and pressed the dagger to her neck.
'I don't want you to be betrayed in a father-son meeting. The reason you are still alive is because you are the son of the warlord there. For the last time, you'll die after being of service to me.
 When Cloud told her that much, Gladys' eyes became empty and she staggered towards Lionel.
 Completely enslaved.........
 He immediately tried to activate the dispel, but he couldn't do it.
 The earth rose up from below, and from above, the ceiling fell down like a pointed icicle.
 I understand that this is the real Mr. Bazak.
 But not only that, the demon race was also about to move in unison.
 They instantly activated their sanctuary wards.
 Multiple bouncing sounds could be heard from the front.
 They must have touched the sanctuary wards.
 Thinking it was really troublesome, he activated the purification wave and then activated the dispel on Gladys.
'Lionel, the slave crest should be gone. But don't let your guard down.
Thank you, sir.
 I heard Lionel's voice firmly.

 I didn't expect that he would suddenly attack me from below and above with no chanting.
 I thought about the sanctuary wards collapsing as the ground rose, but I managed to maintain them.
 And the attack from the ceiling........Paula's golem was receiving the attack from the ceiling.

 And it was Kefin, Keti, and Estia who attacked the demon race before I could give the order.
 The demon race, which was weakened by the cleansing wave, was annihilated at once.
 Since they were originally the demon race that had been summoned, they probably didn't see it as someone who had been turned into a demon race.
 It was a tremendous attack.
 The demon clans that were summoned by the cloud were reducing their numbers at once.

 I was me, and I decided that Mr. Bazak was also being manipulated and activated Dispel.
 I wanted to think that he was preparing his attack magic towards us without speaking a word, because I wanted to think that it was an order.
 But he understood that the slave crest had disappeared and he began chanting.
