Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

That's how the lady guided me to the end - behind the royal castle. Besides, it was an upstairs compartment. Ascending the stairs, through the spacious corridors suddenly opens vision.

Well-maintained green hedges and trails made of white stone. Blooming colorful flowers. And in the distance, I want the sea plains and islands as far as I can see.

It was a spacious garden, built on the high floors of the castle.

I guess the water is also being pulled up and flushed with magic props, etc. to the upper level of the castle. The sound of water flowing through the waterway is pleasant. It looks like a historic garden, with greenery tangled in columns, what a place to be.

Proceeding through the garden, there was an eastern house, and there was a figure who seemed to be in good shape about forty years old from there, about half way there. The king of Glowfonica, King Demetrio. The knights who gave us directions earlier are also refraining from doing so in the immediate vicinity.

Looks like you're here.

And that's what King Demetrio broke up with when he admitted what we looked like.

When we correct our posture and follow the manipulation, King Demetrio nods quietly and tells the lady to bring the tea.

"This, Your Grace, is Demetrio. Be in a good mood today"

"Prince Hellfreet seems to be breathless, above all."

And, King Demetrio responds to Prince Hellfleet's words with a soft waist. King Demetrio is - he seems to have a fairly calm atmosphere.

"I'll see you first. My name is Albert-Verdogal, fourth prince of the Kingdom of Verdogal."

And, starting with the introduction of Prince Hellfleet and Albert, we will also introduce ourselves. King Demetrio had nodded and listened to each and every one of them introduce themselves, but when it was over, he showed Dongya by hand.

"I don't know what the stand-up is. Relax, let's just say we talk a little bit. Take it easy."

With the words of King Demetrio like that, we can also move to the East Room and calm our hips.

"Well. What did I tell you? First of all - yes, I may have thought it strange without being a face-to-face meeting between the sights, but the rest - I like the landscape you see from here. Overlooking the sea plains and the lives of the people… I wanted to show you this landscape"

and look at the view you can see from the East Room. The city and sea of the sunny Kingdom of Glowfonica - it is indeed beautiful.

"Besides, there are other people's eyes on that spot. Of course, you have to choose what you're talking about."

King Demetrio, who was a gentle face, is a serious face and turns his gaze to me. Prince Helfried and Albert also nod at me with their gaze and give way to the place.

"- Overtaking. I understand that the Kingdom of Glowfonica is steering in the complex circumstances of Western countries. We are grateful for your help in the battle ahead and your pleasure in visiting us on the airship. Besides, you don't have to hope to have the opportunity to talk to me like this."

"Hmm. That would be helpful if you could say that"

King Demetrio laughs at my words.

"I guess the rest, if you're thankful. It took out a hatred for Glowfonica."

"... is it a fiery zevion"

"That's right. Then he fought Zevion, and withdrew. He then put an end to the battle against the demons, and now he also hears that we are searching for a way to walk together. If so... I really wanted to talk to you about it."

I hear that Zevion has done great damage to the Kingdom of Groufonica. Even as King Demetrio, you have something to think about demons.

So... he wanted to talk to me about choosing the path of coexistence with the devil. So you gave me permission to come by airship, huh?

"Once Glowfonica made a name for herself as the ally of the oceans. So... some of the neighboring countries were obnoxious behind it. My great-grandfather grabbed information that demons were mixed with humans and that some of them acted as mercenaries with pirate bodies."

But he pushed the pirates and uncovered what the demons were getting into - with arrowheads trying to reveal whether the surrounding countries knew and used it behind them, and he failed.

Because he was more of an awakened demon than he was on the spot, and he had a lonely temperament.

Pirates organised by neighbouring countries to cut Glowfonica's national power.

They hunted it down using junctions and magic, even magic props held by the kingdom, and destroyed lower demon numbers - but Zevion is a character who knows demons and doesn't turn his back on hostile opponents. They couldn't even control the pirates who were using mercenaries.

When this happens... the fleet of the Kingdom of Glowfonica vs. the pirates... it becomes not a Zevion vs. the human construct.

King Demetrio floats the tannic surface and shakes his neck to the side.

Zevion stormed around against the pirates, elite knights and sorcerer soldiers, causing enormous damage... breaking the line and eventually disappearing to Koko.

"- At that time, sacrifices have also been made by my royal family. But even if it was painfully defeated as a result of the challenge, the martyred ancestors were floated in the shake. Therefore, we spared no cooperation to the extent that we could move, even in the event of a remote land in the battle with the demons ahead. Forgive the demon penetration and bouncing, for not one of us is fragile. So - if this is not the use, but the one who thinks about the search for the path of coexistence?

King Demetrio cuts his words and looks straight at me. The expression, the voice color, has no color of anger or reproach.

"I hear stories about being able to seal the power of demons. Then we'll have to meet in person to talk and identify each other. I mean - you want me to tell you what I think. What made you feel like throwing yourself into battle with the devil... and putting your hands together?"

Oh. Right, right. King Demetrio said he likes the view from here... because he wants peace. You want to gain a better understanding because you know the demon threat.

Then... I guess I should crack my belly and talk too.

"It's going to be a little long, and there are some parts of it that I can't tell you more about because of the circumstances in other countries involved -"

Yeah, preface it, and we'll start talking.

That quiet life with my mother and Grace when I was little. The King of Dead Sleeps took that away from me.

Speaking about it, King Demetrio closed his eyes to sigh, "Is that what happened..."

My own anger at powerlessness. Gained strength... I threw myself into the battle against the demons. Thoughts and history of the various people I learned in it and...... Vallos ideals. Being entrusted with a wish.

"None of the high-ranking demons and he was tired of long lives... and there was something like wanting a place where he could hang his own life. Demons who do not reach awakening just dawn in blood and struggle to escape hunger. Humans are humans, plotting each other behind them, and so the world is disturbed from time to time, and those who have no power are sacrificed. All of them, the demon - Vallos was bitter."

I denied Vallos' method, which leads to a lot of blood, but I didn't want to deny the thoughts that flow at the root.

So that's how I decided to take over Vallos' thoughts the way I did.

The devil was born because he had a desire to help someone. Istrum, which has been distorted - though it has become incompatible with the world.

Many parts do not reveal themselves when it comes to the secrets of each country. But I told you as much as I could about my feelings and Vallos' ideals, I intend to.

"- I sought strength for my desire to help someone, and a demon was born. I missed the path because I gained a great deal of power, and its nature tied the race of demons that became curses and followed them to a vortex of struggle and resentment... If we can find out there's a world that isn't, they could change something, too. If you care about the world, maybe we can hold hands together."

Like Tesdiros, or Wimberg, or Oldia.

"Not to seek the power of the devil...? Sure, it's different to say we're gonna use it."

"Nevertheless, I have had some help from them since then for reasons related to the demon-entanglement case or to keep the peace."

"It is… not inconsistent with the philosophy. Power is just a tool. That in itself is neither good nor evil. Again, it's good to talk to you. Lost a lot of heart."

King Demetrio shook his head beside him… and he looked at me and smiled a little and said:
