Chapter 22
22 Demon King’s Secret
“–They misunderstand that His Majesty the King plans to dispatch troops.”
“Hmmm, militants do that …. Some moderates are suspicious of building arms.
The resurrection was secret to avoid confusion, but we should announce it soon. ”
I had reported my parents to His Majesty the King. This is the second time I have met the King in this way.
Instead of having a big audience like the last time, we had a one-on-one meeting in a small reception room.
“And the treatment of the count of Dorknes. What happened to the next lord? … I hope you take over.”
“Yes, I would like to take over the Earl if I could give His Majesty’s permission.”
When I told her I wanted to be the lord of Dorknes, Her Majesty opened her eyes with surprise. Until now I have avoided power, so it’s no surprise he’s surprised.
“I thought you could be refused, but what kind of change did you have?”
“I want to get rid of black hair discrimination. I thought it would be best to be active in the front stage.”
“Eliminate discrimination … it’s a thorny path. Discrimination and rejection can be a weak or ugly part of a person’s mind. It’s difficult to overcome, especially if you let others overcome it.”
“You can’t get rid of it, but if you can make it a little lighter, that’s fine, and has Prince Edwin overcome his weak heart?”
Also for the dark brown boy Phil and myself. And for the black-haired children that will be born.
Others can change just as Prince Edwin has changed. In the case of His Highness, Patrick who persuaded might be great.
“Is that so, you’re going to keep earning it?”
His expression is slightly steep, but he makes a mistake.
“I don’t want to do any martial arts to say that I’m going to do anything.
From now on, we must aim not for the ruthless and scary Yumiela, but for the kind lord of the good lord Yumiera. In doing so, my strength will either help or get in the way.
“I mean, you’re going to be working as a lord. Okay, let’s get ready to take over the Countess. The Countess has a precedent.”
“Thank you”
“And what about the treatment of former Countess Dorknes? It is possible to execute in the name of the king.”
“I would like to be under house arrest.”
His majesty laughs when I tell him the opposition to the execution.
“As Ronald says, you’re a wicked good man.”
Did Ronald’s director say that too?
“No, if you kill your parent and take over the title, you’ll be badly reputed. I think it’s enough punishment for them to be unable to live a splendid life in the royal capital.”
I’m convinced by thinking like this, but I think that the real reason is that I am abominable for the death of human beings.
As I live as an aristocrat, I know in my head that such an idealism is not enough. But if you don’t want to kill, you don’t want to kill, and if you have a life to save, you want to save. It may be strange to say that I would have killed the world’s best monster.
“Really”
I wonder if my feelings are foreseen by His Majesty who said so in a gentle voice.
“I’ll announce the resurrection of the Demon King in the near future, and the militants will be more mature, and we’ll never be able to defeat the Demon King on our own.
I would like Miss Yumiera to participate in the presentation. Many will be reassured if you are there. ”
“I see. Your Highness, Edwin and Alicia will also be participating, right?”
The prince is better, but Alicia is still hostile to me. It’s superfluous after helping her improve.
“Oh, she’s got Edwin to hold back. I’ll do my best to make contact as little as possible.”
“Thank you for your consideration”
“I’m afraid of Miss Alicia. I have to think about getting Edwin and her married.
Isn’t Miss Yumiera going to be a saint? The saint is just the title that defeated the Demon King with the brave, it doesn’t have to be a light attribute. ”
“I’m sorry but……”
“I know, I just tried to say.”
Don’t say if you know, your Mamoru worried. I think this is an effective measure to combat black hair discrimination, but I hate that.
“I’m OK, I won’t talk about your marriage. Is there a guy you’re on?”
“Is it Patrick? I don’t have that kind of relationship with him. My type is stronger than me.”
Did Patrick come into your ears?
If I like him, I have to hide as much as possible. Not because of shame, but because he could be taken hostage.
If Patrick is taken hostage and asked for something, I don’t think I can go against it. I just want to prevent my recapture operation.
“Yes, it’s better to hide his relationship until the ground stabilizes. I’m afraid to give him a hand, but many people can’t think of it.”
No, it is true that he is not a lover. I don’t seem to believe you.
“But eliminate discrimination. It’s a big goal, but I like it, I’ll cooperate. To avoid creating a second Demon King.”
“A second demon king?”
The Majesty makes a bomb remark as if his mouth was loosened due to the story of the love story. What is the Second Demon King? What does the royal family know about the Demon King?
“What I did … I want you to forget what I’m doing. I wonder if I could talk to you, but I thought it would be better to defeat the Demon King. Please don’t ask me.”
His Majesty bows deeply.
“Is it not my royal circumstances, but my own?”
His Majesty said that it would be more convenient for me to defeat the Demon King if I did not know the story. Knowing the identity of the Demon King, I feel hesitant to fight the Demon King …
“I’m sorry, I swear I’ll speak before I die. But now I can’t.”
“Yes, if the King did so, I believe it.”
His Majesty did not dare to talk about the Demon King’s secret. In the game, it was only said that the evil man manipulated the demon, but what kind of truth is hidden?
As a Countess, I’m the lord of Dorknes, but I have to think about successors. At worst, you don’t have to stick to marriage because you only have to adopt a child.
You can’t marry a territory approaching, and you don’t want to be too old. If possible, we want to build a good relationship with the marriage partner, and it is preferable to have the second son of a local aristocrat who has the know-how of territorial management.
Although the conditions have increased a lot, there should be such a convenient person …
“Hey Patrick, aren’t you going to adopt me?”
“Suddenly … What’s next?”
“Isn’t Patrick the second son? I won’t put up with the Earl because you can’t inherit the Frontier?”
“I hate adoption”
I did not expect to be answered immediately. Not a little shocked.
“I thought I would be glad if I could be a family with Patrick, but … I didn’t like it.”
“I wouldn’t say that!”
Patrick’s voice was unusually rough. Whatever he dislikes …
“Okay, I’m going to retire right away! I won’t break Patrick’s bride!”
“I just don’t want to call Yumiera my mother.”
That was the reason. It is not the same age of parents and children.
“Wait a little more, and there is something I want to tell Yumiera.”
Patrick just leaves it.
These days Patrick often leaves school alone. I miss you so much. …… Is it lonely? My feelings about him will be obvious if I have been alone all the more I feel lonely now.
In addition, I adopted a strange thing about adoptive children, but when will it be possible to tell Patrick my thoughts …
