Akuyaku Reijo Ni Koi Wo Shite

The Princes of Arnold returned to the royal capital a little before the Demon Suppression Army main unit. There is no triumphal ceremony this time. He was instructed to enter the royal capital immediately.

There is no atmosphere to celebrate victory when you actually enter the capital. On the contrary, there was a tight atmosphere in the royal capital. The cause is that knights and soldiers, which should have nothing to do with the defeat of the evil spirits, flourish in and out of the royal capital.

It made the people of the royal city feel the signs of a new battle.

Shortly after entering the royal capital, Prince Arnold also felt it. Something unknown to them is happening. Thinking that way, when we rushed into the castle, the urgency in the castle was not as high as that felt by the residents.

Without receiving a word celebrating the results of the defeat of the demon, he heads to the room where the king was taught. With a little nervousness, as soon as the door of the room was opened, Prince Arnold was stuck in the strange sight spreading in front of him.

In the middle of the room there is a fairly large table, but the map and materials are spread out so that even the large table is filled. It's not just on the table that is spread out. Large papers and maps were stuck all over the wall, and various letters and symbols were written there.

The king has a difficult face in front of him. It is not just the king who is there. There were many commanders of the Knights of the Guard, a deputy commander of the Royal Knights Corps, and many others.

Above all, what surprised Prince Arnold was Lyon, sleeping behind his chair on the back of a chair, next to the kings of the kingdom's army.

What the hell is, Prince Arnold doesn't know at all.

"I'm in the way"

A voice suddenly heard from my back. Looking back at the familiar voice, Eriel with a tray was standing.

"... Aeriel?"

Prince Arnold is increasingly uncertain.

"Can you leave the way?"

"Oh, oh"

Aeriel enters the room as Prince Arnold walks through the retreat. I went to Rion and set the tray on the table. He smiled and pinched Rion's nose.

"... ??????"

Immediately rising, Rion glances at Eriel with his nose held.

"Oh, I forgot to close my mouth."

Aeriel's expression looks really fun.

"... If I close my mouth, I will suffocate."

"Good morning, Leon. I've made tea."

Aeriel gives Rion a cup of tea.

"Thank you. Good morning, I slept so much?"

"No, I'm not sleeping for half an hour."

"……Good night"

Rion also left her head behind the chair.

"I don't think I can sleep anymore."

"eh?"

"What the Crown Princes are returning"

"……I see"

After seeing Prince Arnold's set at the door, Leon sat back in his chair. That doesn't mean he calls Prince Arnold. They just drink the tea that Ariel brought.

"Oh, have you returned? Don't stand in that place, let it in."

Instead, the king spoke. Asking Prince Arnold to enter, he sits in the back of a large table. It is very close to Rion.

"... What's my part?"

"What if you asked the maid? Eriel is my wife, not her."

"Yes, but ... that's not true."

The king was dying about drinking his wife's tea. Hold the inside of your eyes and show a gesture of rubbing lightly. The king is also tired.

"I'll put in everyone's share, but because I can't do it alone, can you give me permission to use a maid?"

"Oh, will you do that?"

Hearing Aeriel's proposal, he smiles on the King's expression. I'm just gladly watching Airiel leave the room.

"It's a good wife who can turn around."

"I remember that the king who dabbled in his wife did not end up in a bad way."

Rion, who does not know the truth, catches praise to Eriel in this way. Regardless of that, I think Rion is the only one who thinks like this.

"You ..."

"Isn't it better to listen first?"

"……That's right"

The King's gaze turned to the Princes of Arnold sitting side by side with Rion.

"First of all, it was hard work to defeat him."

"Thank you"

"Well ... what should we ask?"

Soon the king will turn to Leon. Prince Arnold now knows that the center of the scene is Rion.

"... check the facts"

"Because it's troublesome, listen to you"

"Huh ..."

With a deliberate sigh, Rion turned to Prince Arnold. His eyes look at Mary, who is sitting farthest away.

"Maria Theodor"

"Oh, yes."

"I want to tell you one thing. This is something you only know."

"What?"

"When is the Merika Kingdom coming?"

"……eh?"

In the meantime, Maria is surprised and wide-eyed. It was this reaction that Rion wanted.

"Did you know that you are a hero? So when is it?"

Rion proceeds on the premise that he knows.

"... Why do you know?"

This is also the answer I was looking for. Once you have said these words, you cannot tell Mary without knowing it. The result of a surprise hit is satisfactory.

"Along the border with the Kingdom of the United States, much of the southern part of the defense line is disturbed. The defense of the royal capital is also thin. "

"But ..."

The royal capital should fall due to the surprise attack of the Kingdom of Merica. She knew she was going to attack, and she was wondering why that would happen.

"Now, thanks to the wisdom of the brave, we have realized that the concern is a fact, and then we have to take action. So the next question is how to prevent it?"

"eh?"

"You save the crisis of the royal capital, right?"

“…………”

Maria saves the inhabitants after the fall of the royal capital. I can't answer Leon's question.

"... that?"

In Maria's reaction, Leon learned that the fall of the capital was not a joke. And also the malice of Maria. If he had been silent when he knew that the royal city would be dropped, it would no longer be guilty of guilty.

"Wow, I wanted to talk!"

Maria immediately suggested something appropriate, saying that it was unpleasant.

"Consultation?"

"... The royal city is being attacked while we are in the process of defeating a new demon. We can't do both defeating the demon and protecting the royal capital, so I wonder what to do."

For the time being, Maria starts talking with just being late.

It doesn't matter for Rion. At this point, Leon believes that trying to convict the protagonist, Maria, is useless.

"Yes.

"eh?"

"I think it's easier, oh, no, it's safer for the people of the royal capital to have the hero protect it."

"... It's hard to defeat the devils ahead."

If you look at defeating the witch lightly, your value will be reduced. Maria cannot hear Lion's words.

"Yes. I think so. But it's better than dealing with people."

"Why do you think so?"

"You don't have to choose a means. For example, if you don't even have victims, you can't say badly if you burn a whole city with a monster, isn't it?"

“…………”

Maria can't say anything to the answer that comes back. Rion who talked about something ridiculous. For the first time since she met Leon, she felt terrible.

"And if you're a demon, you'll get some advice. If so, I might be able to do it."

"To you ..."

The following words could not be found. If you can't use magic, it won't work. So are attributes. Maria's water attribute can also be used with Rion. Now, Maria is hesitant to talk about it, which is a magical fusion of trump cards. If you know how to do it, there is a high possibility that it will be possible for Lion.

If that happens, you will lose your value. Maria believes that even if she wants to be the Queen regardless of the game, that is why people need to be popular.

As a Usurper, he is notorious for Maria, who is notorious for his high pride.

"I'm sorry for the brave, but as a king, I want Viscount Frey to think about protecting the royal capital."

Maria's help came out of a surprise.

"... I already thought, it must have been rejected."

That is why Rion was dozing off.

The King, realizing the potential for the invasion of the Kingdom of Merica, immediately called Rion from his territory. It's not just to hear the details. This is to make them think about the measures.

The materials and maps on the large table are for that purpose. It contains various information about the southeastern kingdom. Leon was stuffed with that information all over his head, and was being urged to consider defense measures.

Moreover, we do not know when the Merika Kingdom will invade. It may be tomorrow. Rion has been forced to work hard in the last few days, with little time to sleep.

"Realign your defenses and let the Kingdom of the United States know what you did. Is this an operation?"

And this is Rion's final plan. The king has not accepted it.

"It's a great operation. If we know that our country has no chance, the Kingdom of Merica will not invade. We can avoid war."

"Temporarily. The ambitions of the Kingdom of Merica are gone."

"If you don't show yourself a long time, you end up with ambition alone."

"Otherwise, they say they need to remind them that they can never have that ambition again."

"I don't think you'll take any risk for that."

"King's order!"

"If the Lord is wrong, the duty of the ministry is to correct it!"

Such exchanges had taken place many times before Prince Arnold appeared. The king intends to take advantage of the invasion of the kingdom of the United States and try to beat it thoroughly. Invading another country is a considerable risk. If you lose in a deep place, the damage will be enormous.

The King wants to damage the Kingdom of Merica. The reason I think this way is because there is an expectation that Lion could do that.

Rion does not intend to meet the king's expectations. I don't even want to be in the capital city. The territory is going pretty well. That is why I did not want to leave the territory. If one or two things can be overcome, Bandeau's management will be on track. Rion feels such a response.

It seems to Rion that the king's demands only hinder it. It is a lion who wants to stand on the attacking Merika kingdom side if it can come true.

"The tea is ready. How about taking a little break?"

Airiel's voice softens the disturbing air between King and Lion. It is a one-sided feeling of the king.

"Hmm. That's good."

"Now, give out tea to everyone."

"Yes!"

Under Ariel's instructions, the tea brought by the maids is placed in front of each person. Not just tea. The tea confectionery is the same where it came from.

Eventually, the scent of tea spreads in the meeting room, which calms the hearts of the people. It will be a good time for a change.

"... a good wife"

"So, Eriel doesn't give it to anyone."

"I know. I'm saying I'm a good couple."

"……Oh dear"

◇◇◇

For Maria, it's an unexpected situation. In the event of using the event of the fall of the royal city to plan to eliminate the disturbers, the best Lion among those disturbers is just trying to disturb them.

Maria tries to capture the fact that Rion, who was trying to get involved in the fall of the royal capital, came to the royal capital without doing anything better, but even doing that would make her feel easier Did not.

That's already what they are doing to combat the invasion of the United Kingdom. I didn't think the royal city would fall.

If the fall of the royal capital would not be realized, the scenario Maria had thought of would be greatly disrupted. Not only the plot, but also the game story is lost.

Even if you deny that it is impossible, the anxiety will only grow. Until now, Maria had only acted according to the progress of the game, but this time it was no good, finally decided to start with her own thoughts.

Complete elimination of Rion, action for that.

"He's dangerous"

Maria told her that she was alone with Lancelot.

Currently, only Lancelot and Elwin can be approached by Maria. Most of the gangs gathered while at the school were almost irrelevant when they came to fight with the Knights of the Guard Knights. He thought that nobody with good personal heroism was needed anymore. The fact is that only the queen was in the head, making it difficult to deal with low-ranking people.

Maria is regretful now that it has not progressed in various ways, including Prince Arnold, but it is also possible to think of another response and manage the current situation with the currently available partner I have to do it.

"Maybe, but shouldn't we use that power now?"

Lancelot's reply was not what Maria wanted.

Maria and Lancelot have different views on Leon. It was a difference in position. Lancelot is a king's lord and has loyalty to the Grand Flam Kingdom. If Leon has the power to save the kingdom crisis, he believes it should be used.

Maria is not. I just want to be a queen, and the country doesn't have to be the Grand Flam Kingdom. If it gets in the way of your purpose, it's better to have it destroyed, and when it's over, you really want to.

Maria believes that the biggest obstacle is Lion. Don't even know that Rion has a similar feeling to her.

"It's no good."

"Why? You can't do both the defeat of the demon and the defense of the royal city. You need someone to replace you."

"If you leave it to him, the future will change. Will that future be a world dominated by genie?"

"What did you say?"

That's what Maria thought about making Lancelot feel like that. In fact, the game story is about to collapse. Maria is not going to lie.

"Every method of subjugation is in my head. If I follow that knowledge, subjugation of the demon will always be successful. I'll do something else, and the devil will fail and the genie will be resurrected. "

"... Are you going to fail? That guy has succeeded in defeating twice without any particular knowledge. If that guy could do it, we could do it."

As Maria says. In fact, Lancelot was not convinced of this. Then, as long as Mary is there, everyone else is good. It did not allow Lancelot's pride.

"His defeat is by no means a success; on the contrary, he has made his enemies stronger."

"Is that so?"

“Yes.

"What did you say!?"

Maria says Leon is a demon. Lancelot is amazed at the fact that he did not expect. It's obvious, but not true. Lancelot simply believes that everything Maria says about the demon is correct.

"I don't have any confirmation, but if it were, it would be tough."

"... but without evidence"

Surprisingly, Lancelot's response is slow. The current Lion is not a former Lion. He is so trusted that he is entrusted with the defense plan. With Vincent's case, Lancelot could be more guilty of a bad accusation.

"Isn't it unnatural for an orphan in the favela to serve the Hou House in the first place?"

"Just that alone"

Mary's story has no connection with the demon.

"It's unusual to be able to use magic in spite of being an odd eye. I'm sure you're using the power of a genie."

"There is no evidence that it is"

The genie is unknown. Examining the power of Leon will be delighted by the mages, but I don't think it will prove a connection with the Genie.

"... Lancelot doesn't believe me?"

Maria has been impatient at Lancelot who denied all of her story. I don't think I'm bad if I can't talk about it.

"I believe. But if you don't have the proof, others won't believe you.

"Your opponent is a genie. You don't have to condemn him. You just have to get rid of it.

What Maria says is the same as witch hunting. She was tortured to death and executed as a witch if she was alive. He is dead when innocence is proved. It's an excuse to kill and doesn't matter if you're actually a witch.

"However……"

"Lancelot. I want to protect the future with you. I believe that if we are together, we can make this world better than now."

"Maria……"

Eventually, the end is the color scheme. That's right. The main weapon of the main character, Maria, is its ability to capture and drop men. Just because it's the second part doesn't mean it's lost.

Maria uses this ability for the future she envisions. Not for capture, but for plot.

Which story is such a hero being depicted in?
