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

There is no one else in the large dining room but Marie and Alleyra.

Alleyra soaked the bread in Marie's bowl of soup and ate one.

As for Marie, I'm not at the dining place anymore.

One of the four kings is in front of Keith, who should be closest to him.

There were a lot of things I wanted to ask you.

"Um... Mr. Keith, why now..."

"The Demon King is going to crush this country!

Aleira said, bending her mouth to the letter to.

"Besides, no one is allowed in the Demon King's territory anymore! Because the Demon King built a fort on the banks of the river!

Aleira told me the current state of the war as she soaked the bread in Marie's soup.

The Colden Republican Army suffered fatal damage during the last expedition.

But the brave army that gathered again this time tried to cross the Rapid River Carson ready to die.

"So... what happened?

Marie moistened her dry throat with milk.

Aleira dips a thousand slices of bread in the soup again.

"It's not like humans can be demon kings!

It was the mortar cast by Dwarf and the storm of arrows unleashed by the elves that held back the martial arts.

Armies have also been sent from the Duchy of Laden, but the warriors have been cautious in their attacks.

As a result, the Duchy of Laden, a mixed army of courageous soldiers of the Republic of Colden and the Demon King's Army continued to stare at each other.

The Demon King's Army is wary and we don't know when this situation will be decimated either.

Any small action can be an incentive to cross the line.

The two armies were in a critical balance.

"So, you're the one I came to. It's to make this holy capital a mess and ash!

Marie was about to take off a mug containing milk.

"That... is that Mr. Keith's order...?

"Of course that's what the Demon King said. So I said, come on!

Marie put the mug on the table with her trembling hands.

It's so incredible that Keith would go on such an outrage.

But it didn't look like Alleyra was lying.

"That Keith..."

Aleira has burning red eyes and stares into Marie's eyes.

"I have some deep thoughts! But to be honest, I like a kind demon king! You do, don't you?

"It's..."

Marie knows Keith, he's a sweet Keith.

But that wasn't the case when we just met.

Marie remembers Keith at the time, not trying to open her mind at all.

Sharp eyes always identified only purpose.

Releasing your own family, the Bandits.

Other than that, it didn't matter.

(I wonder if Mr. Keith has those eyes right now...)

If that's how it's changed, I want you to manage to get back to the kind Keith.

Marie thinks she can do anything for it.

"... you're right. I like the kind Keith."

"Marie likes war?

"That's why!

"I knew it! So I thought! I announce! Ngumugu."

Aleira finished her bread and paid for the breadcrumbs on her purple dress.

And I held Marie's hands tightly.

"Bye! Marie is marrying the Demon King!

"Heh......!?

Marie's head turned white.

Marriage - Marriage!?

Keith and I got married - something we never even thought about.

Before I was happy or disgusted, there was something called sorting out feelings.

"Oh, no! How could you... talk like that?

"That's... that's..."

When Alleyra let go of Pu and Marie's hand, she put a cheek wand on the table.

Unseemingly worried face as she curls her hair with her fingers.

"I know, it's a little shaky, but, you know, I mean, Marie was a sweet demon king."

Marie doesn't know what kind of relationship Keith has with herself that's changed.

However, it is clear that Alleyra is not joking.

"Because Marie was there, the Demon King thought humans were worth it. That's why I should get married!

It's a bit of a throw, pointy mouth - but I'm not kidding.

"I like to kill humans. But, you know, that's not what happens to the Demon King. You know how this feels, right?

I say horrible things, but I tell you what I want to say.

"If it's just the second half, I know..."

When Marie answered the pull, Alleyra nodded yeah.

"Marie is said to be the Virgin, and she's the greatest in this country, isn't she? So, the Demon King is naturally the greatest in the world! So when you two get married, everyone doesn't have to be happy and fight! What do you say, you perfect plan!

"Such cheap!

Marie isn't familiar with war, but I know that things just don't carry that simple.

But Aleira doesn't pull a step.

"Because! Think about it!

Alleyra grabbed Marie's shoulder and shook her guts.

"When Marie, the Virgin, comes to the Demon King, it's like the Holy Capital is gone and she's done her mission properly! Now the war is over! The gentle Demon King is back! I don't know where it's not perfect anymore!? I was a genius! Genius and really good!!

He was shaking his body, but when he looked at Alleyra's face, he was weeping a little.

She's her, and she seems to have something on her back.

But that's not why we're not even talking about Aleira's operation working easily.

"Hey... hey, let's get back to it!

Marie gently took Alleyra's hand off her shoulder.

- I have a question in the first place.

"Um, how did Mr. Keith suddenly lose his tender heart?

"Well, that's..."

Suddenly Alleyra mumbles.

That was before Keith lost Marie's memory.

………………

…………

……

"Deanna, Alleyra, okay"

Keith said at the inn before going to Bulb's three sisters' house.

I'm not lost in that look anymore.

"Don't ever tell Marie that you've lost my memory, even if she wakes up. This is absolute."

I don't know what the intentions are there, but Alleyra nodded honestly.

Deanna naturally replies that she is in awe.

"I change. It's bound to change. So don't forget what I just said."

And you're right, Keith changed.

………………

…………

……

"I don't know why I'm not being nice anymore... it's..."

Alleyra sneezed and scratched her long glossy dark hair.

"That's... the Demon King has something on his mind... because Marie hasn't been to the Demon King in forever! So marry! Marry!

"Wait, that's not the only problem I can solve!

Marie thinks as she deceives Aleira, who wields her arms.

………………

Now without the Great Cleric, the flag of the Church, and hence of the Republic of Colden, is Marie, known as the Virgin.

In one of his actions, many human lives are shaped.

When I thought about it, Marie was relieved.

However, it is unlikely that you will relinquish your responsibility on the grounds of fear.

That's Cleric Marie Conrad.

"Marriage is, let's just leave it, but..."

"I can't leave you!

Aleira glared at Marie.

"If Marie won't cooperate, I, the Demon King, will carry out my orders! That's already going bonkers!

Aleira came to return the Holy City to ashes.

Aleira, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, has its power.

If Alleyra cares about that, Marie alone is very unstoppable.

"So marry the Demon King!

Beautiful faces, far away from humans, approach Marie.

But we must not be pushed off here.

"Before you do that, there's something you have to do"

Marie pointed those black-eyed eyes at Aleira's red eyes.

"It's a discussion. I'd like to meet Mr. Keith and talk to him."

………………

…………

……

Conference Rooms in Eldstark Castle, Astland Republic.

There were heated discussions there with General Alzfight and other republican governments, on the side of the Demon King.

It was mainly Elada, not one of the four kings, Viktor - who fries the pneumonia as the demon kingdom's side.

"So as I'm saying! Being drunk by a temporary circumstance and breaking a string is very unlikely to be a smart choice!

For Elada, who was a member of the military of the Astran Empire, General Alzfight was a former superior officer.

He's the one who needs to be quite concerned to have a reciprocal discussion.

But Viktor is silent at times like this, so he just has to raise his voice.

"As an ally to your country, I would ask you to behave in a tattooed manner. That should, therefore, also lead to the stability of the country!

"Your country, when? You're getting great, Ellada."

General Alzfight said, teasing his beard.

Elada frowns.

"I urge you to stop being sarcastic about that. I changed my position, too."

"I know. Purely, I was impressed that it had become great. It's a big deal to be taken alone to the Castle of the Demon King to get that position."

Hearing that, Elada coughed.

………………

Viktor doesn't react in any way, he looks out the window in silence.

(Why would I...)

Elada sighed securely.

"Anyway, let's get back to it. It is true that the move to abolish the Demon King is spreading to all nations..."

When I returned to the conversation, the door to the meeting room suddenly opened.

It was one of the General's men who came in.

"Excuse me during the meeting, your report!

My men give ears to the general.

Whatever the information, because it is the general who decides whether to pass it on to those in other countries.

"What!?

The general opened his eyes wide.

There's sweat on my men's cheeks, too.

So Viktor finally opened his mouth.

"... you want to hear what happened"

"You must know."

General Alzfight said, rising from his chair.

"The Demon King's Army has opened the battlefield with the Republic of Colden. Here we go. War."

"No......!!

Elada raised her voice of surprise.

It's something they haven't heard.

The Demon King can only defeat an attacking enemy and is not the belligerent type to wage war on his own.

At least that's what Elada was looking at.

(The Demon King... wasn't he the man I thought he was...?

Ellada looked back and saw Viktor's face.

………………

Viktor put his hand on every one of them and seemed to be thinking about something.
