Farnese!

　Bang! and opened the door, His Majesty the Demon King of the Demon Kingdom Xenoas, Zelgadi von Xenoas, saw Sakura sitting next to Fiana-san in the living room of the Frennel family, and shouted with joy.
　He went straight to her with his arms outstretched to hug his daughter, but Sakura ducked as hard as she could and plunged her head into the sofa.

''Why?!''
It's scary. And dirty.

　Uh ... well, I don't want to be hugged by someone who's soggy with tears and snot.
　Soo-soo, Sakura hides behind my back as I enter the room after her, as if to get away from her father.

'King Brunhild! As for saving Farnese, I'm sincerely grateful to you for saving Farnese, though I'm not sure I'd be flirting with him in front of his parents!
I'm not flirting with you.

　Bish! To be honest, I was sick and tired of the Demon King talking to me while sticking his finger up at me. What is this parenthetical idiot.
　The king's horns and pale skin extending from his bright red hair, pointed ears, and a cloak embroidered with gold thread on black. This person was Sakura's father, His Majesty the Xenoas Demon King.
　After the battle with Gira, the dominant species of Frase, I met His Majesty the Demon King to explain the situation and to tell him about Sakura. Together, we also met Sirius-san, the patriarch of the Frennel family, His Majesty's bodyguard and Spica-san's father.
　The moment I finished explaining what happened so far, the history of the battle, and Sakura, His Majesty the Demon King ran out of the Manmaiden 《Pandemonium》. No, he was fast. It was hard to chase him. As expected, I didn't think to stop him until I used 'Boost' or 'Axel'. I knew where we were going.　
　So, I ran straight into the Frennel house.
　Spica-san and Swella-san were startled by the Demon King who suddenly entered, and they couldn't move.

''Well, well, please calm down, Your Majesty.
'Mm...... Sirius will be on the shoulders of the Duke?
Not so much the king's, but Farnese's.

　The dark elf youth who appeared from behind me was Spica's father, Sirius. He has brown skin and beautiful long silver hair tied back in a single bun. As usual, this race is too young........ No, His Majesty the Demon King looks like he's in his twenties too. I wonder if the Demon King race is a long-lived species. That means that cherry blossoms stop aging when they reach a certain level of maturity.

It's a good thing that you're not the only one who saved Farnese, but also my daughter, my country. I'm sure His Majesty would approve of that as well.
Uggh.

　His Majesty the Demon King is silent with a reluctant look on his face. Is it okay for this person to be the Demon King? This country..........
　Fiana-san advances in front of His Majesty the Demon King, folding her knees and spinning her words.

''I say to His Majesty. Farnese is already on her own and can decide for herself. She wishes to go to King Brunhild, and I intend to go with her. I am very grateful for your kindness, but I hope that you will forgive me.

　His Majesty the Demon King froze with his mouth hanging open at the sudden declaration of goodbye, but eventually his face trembled and he regained consciousness.

''Hey, hey, wait a minute! Farnese and Fiana are both going to Brunhild! No! I won't allow that!
But Your Majesty. I am not your wife. My life is mine, Your Majesty.
'It is! Yeah..........!

　His Majesty the Demon King flinches at Fiana-san who stands up and declares with dignity. Oooh.........scary....... The phrase "mother is strong" comes to mind. I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this.

You're not the only one. Since you are no longer the first or second queen, you are the rightful owner.
I'm afraid not.
A quick answer?

　With a smirk, I cut off His Majesty the Demon King's proposal with a bashful smile. Scary. Why is this mother so strong........ She's too straightforward for the king of a country........
　I don't think I'd be able to go against him if he became a school teacher. In a way, you might have gotten a great gem of a person.

''If His Majesty and I 《I》 marry, Farnese will have to become the Demon King. This is not what my daughter and I want.
But Farnese is still my daughter, I'm sure...
'Yes. That's right. So please come and see my daughter. To Brunhild.
Nuh-uh...

　His Majesty the Demon King choked on the words of Fianna, who was smiling and smiling, but eventually, he took a deep breath. Then he turned around somewhat and came to me and bowed deeply. I'm afraid he's broken. I don't want to hear it said so crisply.

Take care of my daughter.

　There was not the king of a country, but a father worried about his daughter. This must be answered properly.

I understand. I'll take care of the two of you...''

　I was about to say "please," but he grabbed me by the shoulders and looked up to see His Majesty the Demon King's gaze piercing through me. The glittering twin eyes that could kill a person were pointed towards me. I'm scared!

If you make my daughter unhappy, I'll forgive you...?

　Oh, what is this? Threatened?
　Sakura, who was behind me, peeked out and opened her mouth to His Majesty the Demon King.

''I'm happy if I can stay with the king. I've got permission from everyone, so I'll be the same wife as Linse and the others. Also, the Demon King is annoying.
Ew!
'Oh dear. I can't wait to see my grandchildren's faces.

　Wait a minute! This is happening again! I mean, what do you mean you have permission! You're working too fast, League of Wives!
　In contrast to the smiling Fiana-san, His Majesty the Demon King collapses on his knees.

''Annoying.........annoying........ Farnese is annoying........

　You're the one who was shocked.
　The useless Demon King let go and turned to Sirius-san, Spica-san's father.

''Actually, Spica-san also joined our country's knightly order, but...''

　At my words, Spica-san steps in front of Sirius-san.

'Father. I am Brunhild and this time I will protect Lady Farnese. On the honor and shield of the House of Frennel, I will make sure.......
I know. You go your way. You may be far away, but we want you to be happy.
Father...

　Sirius embraces his daughter who is in tears. From the outside, it looks like two lovers hugging each other. They look about the same age.
　Sirius-san seems to be a very understanding father. On the other hand..... I glance at the other father who has yet to return to work.

''........Annoying? Isn't that annoying? I mean, you know, he's the father. And it's natural to worry, right? Normal. Yeah normal.....

　Trying not to look at His Majesty the Demon King, who started mumbling something to himself, I made up my mind not to be like that.




''So, Sakura.......did you find out that you were the mastermind behind the attempt to kill Farnay?
'No, dammit, but I couldn't grab the tail. If I'd known, I'd have torn it to pieces.

　His Majesty the Demon King replies to Sakura, who is clinging to my arm, with a twitch in the corner of her mouth.

''With all due respect, Sakura.......I foolishly suspect that it was the work of those who did not want Farnay to become the Demon King.......''
'I know what the Lord King means. I suppose you're saying that one of the late men might have planned this, but I don't think so.
Why?

　His Majesty the Demon King sat back down deeply on the sofa and crossed his arms. His body was facing me, but his gaze was still glancing towards Sakura.

''First of all, the First Prince Fallon, this guy has a single-minded personality at best, but at worst, he's dumb. The very idea of assassination or something like that wouldn't even occur to him. He has a temperament that dislikes cowardice, so no matter who is instigating the assassination, he will be cut down.
What about the Second Prince?
''Second Prince Fares is too cowardly. He's the kind of guy who thinks he doesn't need to be the Demon King rather than do something as big as assassination. All he can think about is books, books, books. It's a character that avoids troublesome things as much as possible.

　That's a very harsh assessment of my son. It's a far cry from the cherry blossoms. When I told her that, she replied bluntly, "Why are you having fun being nice to your son? Of course my daughter is prettier than me,'' he replied bluntly.
　His Majesty the Demon King would have wanted to declare Sakura as his daughter as soon as the king's horn appeared and announce that she was the next Demon King, but Fianna-san wouldn't allow it. It couldn't be helped since Sakura had no intention of doing so in the first place. It was obvious that it was going to be troublesome.
　Well, it ended up being troublesome anyway, but.....

''Then who do you think is behind it?''
The deceased Queen's family, the Leebooks, or the deceased Queen's family, the Arnos. Of course, it's possible that they are related to these two families.

　If the prince they support becomes the Demon King, it would be advantageous in many ways. It's definitely doubtful.

''So with the current situation, which prince is closer to the Demon King's throne?
I don't know. We're both as magical as each other. Up or down, depending on how the day went.

　Hmmm, more and more troublesome.

Which one of you is likely to be in contact with Euron?
'I don't understand that either. The First Princes, the Leebooks, are the frontier counts that guard the border with Euron. It's not impossible for them to do so if they want to make a connection. The Second Princes, House Arnos, are great merchant families. Our country doesn't do business with other countries, but that doesn't mean we don't have contacts. If we use our merchant connections, I think we can negotiate with them.

　So both of them are suspicious. It's troublesome. This, pull His Holiness the Pope's high priest, all with a magical eye that sees through lies, "Did you guys hire Euron's assassin? Wouldn't it be easier if I asked?
　It seems like a nice idea, but I don't want to bring the representative of a country to a place like that. It's not like we can take all the suspects to the Ramish nation.
　I don't know if there is a lie detector called "Keeler Polygraph" or something like that in the storehouse. Even if there was, it wouldn't be physical evidence, would it?
　As far as I looked into Sakura's memory, that was definitely Euron's assassin. However, Euron has been destroyed, and we probably won't be able to trace it back from there.
　If Sakura announced that she wouldn't take over the Demon King, would she become more mature? No, it's not going to happen. They might try to crush the other prince, or if they're not good at it, they might even create a third 'Farnese faction'. If that happens, Sakura will be in more and more danger.
　As a way of cutting off hindsight, I'd like to return to Brunhild after a thorough beating, but.......well, what should I do?
