186 Episode 12: A New Conspiracy




 
You need to relax. Mister Dennis.

 As if to add water to the rugged atmosphere, a voice called out to them and they all turned in that direction.
 It was Ignis, who was a neutral party, but who had come to hold Denis' shoulder from earlier.
 As for Cain and Set, he was bracing himself to make it clear if he and Cain continued to compete with each other in a battle of strength, but he was shrugging it off.

''Your Highness, I believe that Denis-dono's words are a fair argument. However, if you will carry out 'that promise', I will gladly come to your support.

 Ignis loosened her mouth a little and gave a sideways glance to Lizabeth as she flushed her eyes to Lizabeth. Lizabeth noticed the gaze and wrinkled her brows.

''At any rate, it's good to have you back safely ......
For more on that, go to .......

 Logosia's expression becomes reluctant in response to Ignis, who gives her a contained smile.
 Cain, who is present in the room, is a little confused, not knowing why, but he let the reluctant expression, including Set, pass without saying a word.

''--I have no intention of becoming your wife, mistress.

 Lizabeth replied to Ignis with a serious look on her face. Those words reminded Cain of the reason he had fled the country.
 The reason for running away that he heard a little while after protecting him from the Illustin Republic.

''My brother told me to marry one of the demon kings.''

 Cain guessed that it was probably this one. And that the opponent was one of the demon kings, Ignis.
 Ignis is large and muscular in stature, but by all accounts he looks older than Set.
 And a smile that seems to have an ulterior motive.
 Cain also felt a bit of sympathy for the reason for his escape.
 Logosia also made an apologetic face and did not seem to respond by tying his mouth shut.
 But having been rejected once and for all, Ignis' expression grew stronger.

...... So, may I also turn to the open warfare camp?

 Words that could be described as threatening to Logosia. However, Logosia also understands that there is a deterrent called Cain.
 He didn't know the true meaning of the words, but he felt that if he believed Set and Lizabeth's words, it wouldn't be a problem.

'-- As for Riza's marriage, I'll pretend it never happened. This is my word as Crown Prince: ......

 At Logosia's words, Lizabeth also let out a breath of relief. However, her pride was hurt, and Ignis's expression stared at Logosia with the most hateful eyes ever.

'...... I see. Then I shall support Lord Denis.''
Hmph, that's what happens when you listen to a little human being like that.

 Ignis, who had been refused by both Logosia and Lizabeth, expressed his support for Denis, as if to make a guess.

I have no intention of waging war. I have no intention of sending soldiers out of my lands, and if I give you an army, I will fight against you.

 Set clearly expressed his opposition to both Ignis and Denis.
 Logosia also looked at Set and gave a small nod before looking at them.

''I have no intention of going to war. This is my decision as Crown Prince and Deputy Demon Emperor. It will not be reversed. Two days later, I will make a statement to the people. ''I will not make war, but will engage in dialogue with the human race in peace.'' ......

 At Logosia's clear words, the two open-minded men's expressions were reluctant.
 Then Agus, who had remained silent until now, opened his mouth.

It is your highness' decision. I will follow it. We'll hear both of you complain later.

 They nodded, reluctantly at Agus's words.

'Agus, thank you. Then we will not go to war, and in two days we will make a proclamation. That is all for today.

 With Logosia's closing remarks, each demon lord left his seat and left the room.
 Cain was led by Set and went to another room. While waiting with Set in the room, the door opened and Logosia and Lizabeth entered the room.

'Sorry to keep you waiting, Lord Cain,'
No, thank you for the wise decision earlier.

 Cain rose from his seat and bowed his head lightly.
 Logosia nodded in satisfaction and also took a seat.

 The four of them continued to chat, relieved that the war was safely averted.

 
 ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇.

 In the other room, a sullen-looking Ignis and Denis, and an impassive Agus, were sitting around the table.

'Why can't we have a war! That high lord is a coward.
''I was going to get that princess, too, if I'm with that crown prince at all: ......

 Agus put his elbows on the table and folded his hands together and smiled at the two sullen men.

''There's a way for the two of you to have your way. And I can't make decisions for the Demon Emperor anyway.''

 Agus's unexpected words caused them to look at each other with irritation.

''Right now, the Crown Prince is in control of this Demon Nation. There are three members of the royal family, including His Majesty, but the Demon Emperor is on a sickbed. If something happens to the Crown Prince, His Highness Lisabeth will have to take the helm of this country next. However, His Royal Highness Lisabeth is not well versed in politics. He will need someone to assist him. We demons are in the position of Demon King with a show of power. Even if a powerful person calls himself the Demon Emperor: ......

 Agus's words brought them both to the table.

'Hey, Agus. That's .......
Yes, it's possible. Even though Lord Set is strong, he's a demon king. There are three of us.
Do you happen to accept His Royal Highness Lisabeth's invitation to join us at ......?
'Of course it will be possible. His Royal Highness Lisabeth will have to marry one day.
What do you have in mind?

 Agus gave them both a big smile as they were curious.

'I'm thinking of a move like this. I'll be at ---- in two days.

 It was the beginning of a suspicious secret talk by the three of them.
