Black Summoner
Lesson 210 Rem Tiagate
This was before Rem Tiagate became God, and that was a long time ago. She enjoyed life as a royalty in a certain country of the world. The birth of the first son of the great royal family, the Tiagate family, was a matter of celebrating the nation, and this day was to be very special. But...
What is this...?!? What the hell is this?!
”I-I don't care what you say to me...”
When Lem was born, her father, the king, was surprised and unable to hide his agitation. Immediately after childbirth, I was so exhausted that I asked my mother, the queen. The queen didn't seem to know what was going on, and she was on the verge of crying. From the sidelines, the king is being accused of what to say at this particular time. But it wasn't just the King who couldn't hide the colour of his bewilderment. Those who saw Rem, such as the soldiers who were guarding the surrounding area, the birth attendants and maids who were present at the birth, and the ministers who heard the voice of the rough king, all doubted their own visibility information.
So why did they think that? Was there a problem with Lem's health when he was born? No, she's not. She's crying like a baby. She's not particularly injured. Of course, I didn't have any illnesses. So, as the eldest son of a royal family, you were expected to have a boy? No, that's not true either. There is no custom in this country that discriminates between men and women who become kings. In the past, there were people who ruled the country as queens. Even if it was a girl who was born, it was unlikely that the king would be so wicked. Then why?
"--Why is this child so small!?" Isn't this like a dwarf! '
The king shouted in tears. Even though he thinks of Lem as a dwarf, she was not that small as a human baby. It is smaller than the average, but it is not particularly problematic. However, if there is a problem--is it that this country where she was born was the land of giants?
A child was born between the father of the giant, and the mother of the giant. This is unprecedented for the Giants. In the worst case, if this is made public, it may appear that the queen hid among humans and made children.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry...!
"... no, don't apologize. And I'm sorry for being so loud." I trust you. Even those present here will be so. But unfortunately, there are people in the country who don't. What the hell did you do with this...? ”
The giant king, who calmed down in time, sat in a chair and held his head. It has already been revealed to the people that the queen is pregnant. I can't do what I didn't do now. No, no matter how small, it doesn't change that my beloved wife was born with a stomachache, and she is a cute child of mine. The king, as a father, did not want to lie about it.
...... King, do you mind?
What's the matter, Minister?
"I am calm now, and I have wondered again. That's, uh, it's very difficult to say......"
This is the time. Don't be shy, let me tell you. ”
"Ha, ha! Now... when the queen was pregnant, I remember that her stomach was the same size as that of a typical pregnant woman. At that time, it seemed that the swelling of the belly and the size of the princess born were out of proportion."
Huh?... that's for sure?
Upon the Minister's indication, the King tilts his head. He, his husband, has seen the swollen belly of the queen more than anyone. I don't think there is any difference in memory now. When she was pregnant, it was true that the queen's belly was swollen to a general size.
”Speaking of which, when I felt the pain of childbirth, it seemed like Lem was even bigger...?”
Is that true? Hmm, what the hell is going on here? ”
... king, do you think we should agree with you?
Having said that, the next person to raise his hand was the five Royal Palace Mages serving this country. They must have come with the ministers. However, they still looked terribly upset, and they were still sweating heavily from their foreheads, or perhaps their whole body. Since the appearance was too morbid, the King unexpectedly worried that their physical condition was okay.
You guys, you're sweating so bad. Are you all right?
"Honestly, it's not all right... but before I do, I'd like to share our views on the princess." It's not completely irrelevant to our current situation, so... I'd like your permission. ”
”Hmph, hmph, is that the way you say it? All right, let me hear the opinion of the wise lords of this land."
"Thank you. We weren't in this room when the queen was born... but I could certainly feel the moment when the princess was born." All five of you are here. "
{Hmm...? What does that mean? Rather, what are you talking about?
The king leaned his head again, not knowing what the Royal Palace Wizards intended.
“We didn't come here because we actually heard the king's voice. This may seem strange, but... we were called by the princess.”
To Lem?
"Yes. When the princess was born, an unusual increase in magic power was emitted from this place." Those who are familiar with magic, perhaps even those who are in the castle towns--no, those who are in all of this country could sense its great magic power. "
”It was as if the stars were going to explode, and it was amazing. As you can see, our flesh is forced to fear a fight....."
"We were convinced because we were confronting each other like this. The princess said that Lem was the chosen son of God. Lem-sama already had more magic power than we did as a toddler.”
Oh, my God...!
While the Giants have strong flesh, their magic power tends to be inferior to that of humans. However, the Royal Palace Mages gathered here were the country's leading magicians, and compared to the human mages, they undoubtedly had the strength to be in the top class. With their mouths aligned, they praise the newborn Lem, and at the same time they are afraid to fight. From that desperate state of affairs, I could intuitively understand that I was not simply looking after Rem.
From here on out, it's our guess... isn't the princess wearing enormous magic power instead of the size of her giant flesh?
Instead of your body, use your magic power...?
I don't know what kind of principle it is. However, if you don't say so, you won't be able to explain this phenomenon. "
Either it's a god's prank or you've been chosen to be a savior... Either way, the princess is sure to be a great success. We are convinced of that. ”
The royal mage's accreditation is a great honor, and it also shows how bright the future of my son is. Still, the King was worried. Whether the Rem, with its peculiar body as a Giant, will be accepted by the people. As my child, will you believe me?
{I see. It's a god's prank... but will the people be convinced by this? Even if Lem had the power to match his current story, the public would prioritize visible information. If you don't do well, you'll lose the trust of the Tiagate family. ”
{...... King, I have a suggestion. Not many people in my country can handle magic. But that is why they tend to be respected and their statements trusted. How about summoning those who are skilled in magic and seeing the princess firsthand? ”
"Many of them have high pride as magicians, and many of them are hard-working, but therefore they do not speak lies. When they see the princess, they will know for themselves that the explosion of magic power was caused by Lem-sama. And I will surely understand how noble your presence is.”
They who have greatly honored the princess will spread their experience after returning to various places. It will take some time, but this will definitely increase trust. ”
In the beginning, there may be people who turn to suspicion. However, their wizards--no, including us--will definitely dispel any suspicion! '
Well, it's not just the mages! We'll do our best!
Yes, that's right! I was also present at the birth! I know the truth about Lem-sama being the King's and Queen's children! ”
Oh, you guys...
Voices of cooperation rising one after the other. The king was moved by the love of his subordinates, and at this time he shed a large tear.... but at this time, the Giant's land may already be in place.
