Demon King of Phantom Thief – a Betrayed Thief Stole the Stats and Skills of the Hero Party Then Reigned Over the World

The rebel leader was in the seat of Vice-President of the Parliament of the Republic of Astran.

The chancellor is of course General Alzfight, who leads the army.

The two were rocked by a six-headed carriage.

"If it's true, I don't want to leave the country."

Alzfight sighed.

"Astran is still in the middle of a mess. Merchants buy precious metals out of anxiety. It will all have an impact on prices…"

Alzfight, who was also a former member of the Imperial Parliament, is not an amateur in politics.

But if I could wave my spicy arm as the head of the republic, I couldn't run out of anxiety myself.

"Until we put national politics on track is a revolution. I'm not talking about dropping the Emperor's head."

"I thought you were right. But in the first place, we needed a coup because of the war, so we need to put it on."

"That's why we're leaving the country alone, and this is how we're going to have a long journey"

Alzfight said in a self-derisive manner.

The war continues now, with people and generals bleeding.

As soon as possible, I needed to connect my speeches with the three countries.

Across the carriage is the Kingdom of Tristram.

In its king's capital, a summit of the four countries involved in the war is to be held.

In the weeks leading up to their arrival, the two had a great deal of discussion and worked out an operation for the talks.

And on the day of the summit, at the Slate Out of the Hotel of the Kingdom of Tristram.

It was from the Kingdom of Tristrum that we gathered, the King and the Borderline Uncle of Goldrew.

From the Duchy of Laden, the Führer Lord Laden and the Prime Minister.

From the Republic of Colden, Speaker Rostov and Vice-President.

And Speaker and Vice Speaker of the Alzfight of the Republic of Astran.

Surrounding the table in the conference room is a blush like that.

"I want to say one thing first"

The talks began and the first person to open his mouth was Alzfight.

"Astran still retains the ability to relay."

That's what the head of the military regime would say.

Lord Laden was young to shine alone among the chiefs gathered for the talks.

He's got a cool grin on his face that's so neat that it doesn't go anywhere near him.

But the Alzfights went on without a problem.

"Anyone involved in the military knows that. Now since Caleb's meeting, there's been no defeat in our fight."

A substantial representative of the Kingdom of Tristrum, the Goldreuf Borderline Uncle looked bitter when he heard it.

Because Caleb's victory in the meeting could not have been without the help of the Demon Kingdom.

The heads of all nations, they know that.

"But we want to talk to you. Because we in the Congress of the Republic (...) have no reason to continue the war any longer"

Alzfights did not put out the word Astran.

"We abolished the Imperial Council, which was possessed by territorial expansion. It was the Congress of our Republic that prevailed over an empire that could be considered the common enemy of all continents. To one struggle, I won! That's us!

Alzfight's voice echoes nicely into the conference room.

"This is your victory and ours. Therefore, the Congress of our Republic considers it barren to continue the war any longer, dragged by the will of the defeated ghost"

"That would be a trick."

It was Lord Laden who sandwiched his mouth again.

I gracefully paid for my golden forehead and went on with the words.

"You are Astran. Once upon a time, and still is, the same. Even if your neck has replaced you, can't you escape history?

Alzfight also says it back unbeaten.

"That's a trick. The torso of the country is the national territory and the people. There is no more sin on the people than Astran had laid down his empire. We who defeated the Empire (...) want you to think the same way. As I said, we want to end the ghost."

When Lord Laden heard it, he narrowed his long eyelashes and smiled.

"I see, after the ghost. If so, I would say that all Astran's movements from the outbreak of war to the present are by the Imperial Council, and that the Congress of the Republic is irrelevant. And then."

Fingers on the table in a mess, Lord Laden said.

"Naturally, the territories, Benigsen, Gratt, Habnir and Tolden, which the Empire gained from the war, will be returned. On the other hand, the land we get is naturally ours. Ryben, Gnilite, Kushtl, these lands are what we have won from the ghosts you call them."

"I ask you to do the same about our territory"

As a Union country, it was Speaker Rostov of the Republic of Colden who rode well into the stream.

This man, shallow black starchy and fat with a face, said so, stroking a beard that he had grown on his double chin.

………………

This was a predictable situation.

The territory gained by the Union belongs to the Union.

And the territory Astran gained will be returned...

Astran will only taste the bitterness of war.

But Ashton's “surrender” is a lot better than a territorial transfer or payment of compensation.

Each country does not claim it and is only “speaking” because every country is still exhausted by war.

Of course there are those who profit from the war, but all the humans here wanted to escape the war.

"Let us acknowledge what all the nations of the Union have said."

Alzfight said.

This is not a situation where the Kingdom of Tristram pinches its mouth.

The reason why the end of the war between the Astran Empire and the Kingdom of Tristrum was opened in the first place is because it lies in the unilateral Treaty breakdown of the Kingdom of Tristrum.

Besides, since it's harmony right after the war, territorial interaction rarely occurs.

Since the Astran side insists on the absolute severance of the former Imperial and Republican parliaments, it was a situation that could be described as gratifying for the Kingdom of Tristrum that it would not be plunged into the break-up of the Treaties.

"All right, everybody. Are you sure you want to enter into a pact of harmony under the above conditions?"

The Duchy of Laden and the Kingdom of Tristram recognized the words of the Alzphites.

But here, Speaker Rostov of the Republic of Colden shook his fat throat and raises his voice.

"It's too early to talk to harmony. We have a problem next to war."

Speaker Rostov snorted, looking like he was just waiting for this moment.

"That is that both the Republic of Astran and the Kingdom of Tristram have approved the territory of the Demon King as a nation!

You're here - and Alzfight thought.

The Republic of Colden is a religious state with a “holy capital” at the heart of the Church.

The exclusion of the Demon King, the enemy of mankind's uncluttered heavens, is also what the Church claims.

The "clergy” of the brave party were also bound to come out of the church.

"As far as the" truce ”is concerned, it is also where we want it. But you can't join hands with a nation that holds the Demon King."

It was the Kingdom of Tristram that first recognized the Demon King's Land as a nation.

I want to draw a line as a Goldrew Borderline Uncle before I get stuck with anything more.

And, there, the king of the kingdom of Tristrum spoke out.

"You know, after all, we should all get along..."

"Wohon!!

The Goldrewf Borderline uncle coughed heavily to dispel the king's worldly annoyance.

The sudden change of kings is something that countries are becoming aware of, but if they say anything extra here, they can lose their say.

Without opening between them, said Uncle Goldleuf Borderline.

"But as a matter of reality, there is no fact that the Demon King is violating our human territory. You can naturally coexist with someone who doesn't show hostility. Isn't this natural?"

To that word, Speaker Rostov answers by tapping the table with a round fist.

"If so, how are you going to explain that the brave party was smashed! The Brave Party also includes the Church's seconded clerics"

"But Cleric Marie Conrad is safely returning home. The Church must not have been scratched by the Demon King."

Of all the brave parties stolen by the Demon King, only Cleric Marie was safe.

This has been fortunate for both the Kingdom of Tristram and the Republic of Astran.

But the pursuit of Speaker Rostov will not stop.

"Those sent by the Church have been driven back. Blocked the way to pass according to God's guidance. Now more than ever, the Demon King is clearly the enemy of those who believe in God. The past, of course, and always will be. And there's one more thing I want to say."

Speaker Rostov smiled.

"Marie Conrad is no longer just a cleric. The Church recognizes her as the Virgin."

The Virgin is considered, so to speak, a symbol to counter the Demon King, with the exception of the Brave Party.

It was the first time in the history of the Church that he had recognized the surviving as the Virgin.

The fact that two countries on the continent joined hands with the Demon King meant that it was every great thing that could be done.

"Now that the Brave Party is virtually non-existent, she is the only force against the Demon King. Even as the Republic of Colden, I subscribe to that idea"

"But even on this side, more than the Demon King won't come to mankind..."

"This side?

Speaking Alzfight, Speaker Rostov frowned and blocked him.

"It is an unacceptable statement as far as we are concerned that you, who succumbed to the Demon King as soon as possible, are on this side of humanity. You've gone“ that way ”. Sadly."

Despite how the Alzphites have stepped on it, the Republic of Astran is a substantial defeated nation.

And the Kingdom of Tristram has almost lost its say in the breaking of treaties with the Union, and in the first recognition of the Demonic Kingdom.

The lead in the talks was now being held by the highly-sighted Duchy of Laden and the Republic of Colden, which has the Holy Capital.

- Meanwhile.

Marie had been recalled to the Holy Capital in the Republic of Colden by the Pope's life.

Apart from the Demon King's Realm, Marie has never been abroad before.

I never thought I would be called to the Holy City, which could also be the Church's main mountain.

I feel heavy about the title of Virgin, the one I carried.

Sure, Marie now has the maximum (magic capacity) of a different digit magic power from an ordinary person, but that's a gift from Keith.

And the Virgin is one symbol that confronts its demon king head-on -.

Marie's mind was complicated.

If being a Virgin can save people, there is nothing more to want.

But I couldn't imagine that things would go so simply.

"I've been waiting for you, Virgin"

The cleric took my hand, and Marie got off the carriage.

"Let's go to the chapel."

Bright white cathedral.

An elaborate sculpture depicting God's salvation, loosened between large columns and columns.

And the more I look up, the more my neck hurts, the higher the number of towers.

What came to Marie's mind was, strangely enough, the Castle of the Demon King.

The colours and designs are decidedly different, and these two are somewhat alike -.

"Come in, then."

The cleric led me into the chapel from good.

When Marie showed herself, her temper spread to the believers.

"Holy Virgin! The Virgin is here at last!

"How lucky to see the living Virgin... what a grace!

A grand priest of magnificent age greeted Marie with a smile.

"Welcome, Virgin. Welcome to the Holy Capital."

The Great Cleric bows his head deeply.

Marie panicked and did the same.

"You must be very tired on your long journey, but give everyone a chance to see your face first."

………………

Marie stands by the sermon stand, facing the faithful.

Marie stomps unexpectedly when she looks at the people who shine their eyes and stare at herself.

But...

(If only I could show myself and someone would be saved...)

So he rethought, and Marie turned to the faithful, making them smile with the fullest possible smile.
