"Eh, that's crazy..."

The discomfort I felt when I reached the entrance to the castle, which can be called the front entrance, beyond the castle gate.

It is the atmosphere of the castle surrounded by hustle and bustle as the words of Rumelia stand for.

"Is something wrong?

I got out of the carriage, and I call out looking at Lumelia, but she doesn't seem to know what's going on either.

It doesn't seem that difficult for the Demon Clan to grasp the status quo, starting with Lumelia, who can develop the magic of wide-area exploration...

"There's a lot of emotion mixed up and I can't grasp it."

"Dear Lumelia!

At the same time that Rumelia answered my query, she was bowing her head when one man came running.

"Ictinos, what are you saying about this situation?

"Ha! That's..."

A knight-style man called Ictinos looks at me and says:

Apparently, it's hard to tell outsiders...

"He's fine. Because you are my old acquaintance...... What's happening in the castle more than that?

"Master Granzard has been defeated."

"- Huh? Your father?

Before I look at you, I give you the look that Rumelia said you couldn't believe, and then I flutter.

Supporting Rumelia not to fall.

"Yes, to Alvarto for more information -"

"Wow, okay..."

I know because I support it.

It is always the body of Rumelia of a temperamental character that is trembling.

Perhaps you don't know what happened when you were upset by the sudden story.

Even I can't believe the demon king Granzard collapsed.

I can't believe a being strong enough to defeat an attribute dragon in one effort collapses.

Besides, the life expectancy of the Demons is nearly a thousand years.

But I don't know some of Granzard's years, but they shouldn't have arrived in the millennium.

"Mr. Kazt, I have to go see the Chancellor..."

"Okay. I'll follow you too."

"Thanks -"

"Dear Lumelia!?

A man called Ictinos, who was listening to me and Lumelia talk, looks at me with a surprising look.

I felt like the back of those eyes contained a feeling of perplexity and indescribability.

"Excuse me, but what about you?

"He's my friend, right? Isn't that what you pry into? You get it, right?

Lumelia was stabbing a nail in Ictinos before I answered.

And when he grabbed my hand and entered the door leading into the castle, he started walking down the aisle.

The castle is very beautiful made of white marble.

Paintings and the like decorated by the way are also shown as accents, and the red carpet laid in the aisle is also creating exquisite contrasts when paired with white marble, even beautiful.

"Lumelia, are you okay?

……

Rumelia walks in the castle unanswered to my inquiry.

Then, after a short walk, standing in front of a door with a fine sculpture, he opened both open doors.

"Princess!

At the same time as the door opens, the person who was in the room kneels in front of Rumelia and takes a thank you under his minister as soon as he comes up from his chair.

"Alvarto. I'd like to thank you now. More than that..."

"I know. You're talking about Master Granzard's collapse, aren't you?

"Yeah, I'd love to hear more."

"Okay."

A man named Alvarto strayed from sight as soon as he glanced at me.

When I call for service, I prepare the tea.

And he was recommending to Rumelia the luxurious looking chair that was set in the corner of the room.

"Nevertheless, I'm glad"

"Good?

A man named Alvarto, who contained in his mouth the tea prepared by his servants, sighed heavily when he said only one word.

"If anything happens to Lady Lumelia, it's going to be a big deal."

"Does the big deal mean your father collapsed?

"No, he was killed, not collapsed"

"Killed? Your father? I don't... I can't believe it!

At the end, Rumelia was absurd in her voice.

If you do die of longevity, you can still be convinced.

Except when it comes to getting killed.

A man named Granzard, the Demon King, can't be defeated if a dragon is wrapped around him.

There are a limited number of people who can kill it.

"By the way, is he...?

You must have found it difficult to keep talking when you saw how Lumelia was doing.

Lumelia exhales small in Alvarto's words, although there may have been an intention to change her mind.

"He says," Cuzto. The Irperian Academy of Aristocrats is already here, isn't it?

"I see! I defended the town from the demons he attacked… I was relieved if he was so much more attached to Master Lumeria's escort"

Something seems to be wrong.

Well, you won't even have to correct it.

"Fine, who could have killed your father more than that?

"Yes, just for the record, Master Granzard was murdered when he was talking to Haruna Guiki."
