Dungeon Defense (WN)

Ten days after he was injured. The status has improved noticeably.

My lips moved and my eyes moved. It's only a matter of time before your voice is heard. Twenty hours a day, I was losing consciousness. Now, six hours a day have come to my senses.

The first person I saw when I opened my eyes was Lapis. Laffith glances at me, nodding once, and summoning the healing priest as if he had expected it to be like this.

“Amazing. Almost a miracle. ”

The old priest poured out his elongated amazement.

“If the palace white man were human, he certainly wouldn't have regained his strength. I've heard rumors about the Demon King's body, but... ”

“Are you refreshed? ”

Laffith hangs up like a knife when he tries to talk about the priest for a long time. The priest felt frustrated that he could not express his feelings beautifully and verbally.

“Yes, but you've been unconscious for too long. Recovering your health takes time. If you think differently, all you have to do is recover. ”

“… Thank you. ”

Lapis folds his hands together and greets you politely.

I was astonished, and so was the slaver. Lapis was no longer a Horse Merchant. It was the monarch's side that occupied the Demon King's army. The person in that position simply bows.

“Huh, lift your waist. Small people are born ordinary people. ”

“Life is one for all, no matter how high or low your status may be. Identity is meaningless to those who save lives and heal. ”

Lapis says with his back bent.

“That Lapis Lazuli. I promise you, as the State Department of His Majesty Dantalian, If you call for help, do whatever you can. ”

“Haha.”

The priest smiles with a happy smile, as if it were ridiculous.

“The plaintiff is just a doctor hired by the government for a while. I would rather thank the government of Batavia than thank its predecessors, but the government has a negligent duty to guard the ballroom, so there's no need to thank anyone in the end. Lift your waist.”

“My doctor hasn't changed. ”

Priest rises to the light of the coercion, not Laffith's coercion. The old man left the room and said in vain.

“When I look at him, I see a monarch. Today, I saw Lazuli, and I can guess why the Demon King's palace white lady is with the Holy Lady of Brittany. Please, Artemis, keep smiling. ”

By the way, the conversation has so far been in the Ancient Empire language.

Wizard, since the Ancient Language is basic, what's wrong with Laffith, who lived as a merchant and a lowborn citizen, writing Ancient languages like his mother tongue? Lapis is too competent.

Only two men sat on the chair beside the bed.

“ ……. ”

“ ……. ”

Laffith frowned and looked at my face.

I pointed my finger at the edge of Lapis's eye, as it was still awkward. There were dark circles. The meaning continued shortly because I had to talk with my hands.

‘You're not kidding, under the eyes, Kimi. ’

Then Laffith sighed.

That was outrageous. That was my way of saying that I care about women. I was a little hurt, but suddenly I realized that was the first doctor I had expressed as soon as I woke up after I had been on death row for ten days.

Hmm. Even me is a good thing.

* * *

“Hey, what's that bitch look like for your money? ”

Barbato comes to the door, grumbling and grumbling.

“Why, what's wrong with Lapis? ”

It's been a full day since I fell. In the meantime, I was able to talk quite normally as long as I didn't raise my voice because I had recovered a lot of health.

“I don't know about you, but he was holding them tight. ”

Barbatos stoops to his chair. I twisted my legs and narrowed my glances down to what I didn't like so much.

“You must have heard that the cub had fallen and I popped out, didn't I? I'm guessing that Piemon bitch is standing at the door. I'm asking you to send me inside, and your imagination will stand in the way and never move. ”

“Wow.”

I was lightly impressed. That is why the parasitic Circubus among the Horsemen, the Half Circubus, is even more humbled than the ninth rank of the Demon King Pymon.

“Well, my Lapis has some nerve. ”

“He asked me to step in and let him go. But he can't. I was annoyed, so I tried to use my power. So whatever he's saying, ”

Now that His Holiness has fallen, I am in charge of the Demon Prince's army.

Ignoring my doctor is an act of undermining the integrity of the Dantalian Demon army.

But if you don't mind, please come through here.

“It was ridiculous. ”

Barbato grunts.

“Is that why you ignored it? ”

“Hmph. If that's the way it's gonna be, let's take off our ranks and fight. ”

Barbato snorts.

She tucks her hand into her shirt chest and pulls out the necklace. A necklace with two fingers on it from my left hand.

“I showed you this and said, You pink bitch, I'm not the Demon King, I've come here as a woman who's fucked hundreds and thousands of times over that door. You don't have the right to stop a motherfucking dickhead, no matter what you do. ”

“Puha.”

I don't know what to say. It was really Barbato.

“Shit, they let me in. Do I have to live with the permission of the lower horsemen? Ugh. I should have died right away. I don't know what I'm supposed to see. ”

I laughed real hard.

“Don't hate Lapis. He's my favorite. ”

“I saw what you were doing. ”

Barbatos has changed his eyes.

“So, here's the thing. Who's the culprit?”

“ ……. ”

“I let the boys go and investigated, and the president's bitch complained she was the culprit. ”

I smiled faintly.

Barbato didn't know the ins and outs of the case. I was looking at the situation purely from an outside perspective. In other words, it was okay to assume that Barbatos' thoughts were shared by a third party.

Currently, the political and social forces have been in constant commotion due to the raid.

It was at a time when I became popular because of the winter diplomatic wars. Otherwise, when the price of the name peaked, the attempted assassination exploded. Whether I will die or not, who the culprit is, and how far the aftermath of the incident will spread... There were many people who were not angry.

Representatives of each country criticized the Republic of Batavia harshly.

In the gathering of celebrities, the bomber and assassin intervened. Even the assassin has not been identified. No one can trust the good of the Republic. There were also quite a few delegates who had just returned to their home countries.

This has reduced the chances of a Republican council meeting…… At least it will not be hosted by the Republic of Batavia. Pymon failed.

Without Batavia, the rest of the continent is the Habsburg Republic, but this is even more impossible. President Elizabeth herself is suspected of being the mastermind of an assassin or assassin. Moreover, few Republicans see Elizabeth as a dictator...

Everything is as planned.

Only one last puzzle was needed.

“Barbatos.”

“Huh?"

“This case, let's keep it closed. ”

Barbatos' expression distorts strangely.

“…… let me ask you this first. Why?”

“We said it the other day. It's still fifty years before our Demon Lord makes his stand on the continent. If we raise this case, it will be war. So... ”

“That's what she did. ”

Barbatos growls wildly.

“If the common man is the culprit, there's no reason to go to war. A mortal who can't get revenge without going to war. Isn't that right? ”

“No.”

“Then some asshole stabbed you! ”

At that moment, the room shifted to the building.

Barbato's golden eyes are bloodshot with life. Even I, the Demon King, was suffocating enough to become stiff to smoke black from her body. The air in the room frightens Barbatos.

Ah, this is why I didn't tell Barbato....

Look, let's say I stabbed myself in the stomach. Barbato asks why.

I have no choice but to tell you the truth, I'm here to stop Pymon. To Barbato, who hates Pymon more than anyone else in the world. How Barbatos would react.

Barbatos went mad even when he lost a finger. This time, the civil war will explode without fail.

But I don't want to lie to Barbatos, so it's best for me to avoid answering.

“Barbato, calm down and listen to me. I have a favor to ask you. ”

“Please…? ”

“Yes, please. You're gonna have to do a little acting from now on. ”

Here's the plan:

Leaving my room, Barbatos diverges back to the Habsburg Empire. Then Barbato musters his army as if he were about to invade a country.

On the other hand, I declare that I will officially identify the culprit. with the belief that there will be a war.

People will think it really was President Elizabeth. You will be afraid of war again. The whole continent will be in tension.

Then, the saint visits me.

The Holy Girl and I meet in secret. There is only a record of the two of them meeting, but it is not announced what they were talking about. It only takes half a day for the secret to continue.

I will announce it again shortly after.

― ― Inspired by a woman who genuinely desires peace on the continent, the perpetrator of the last assassination will not reveal.

Tensions are heightened until the end of the war and then dramatically resolved. The people of the continent will praise the holy woman of Brittany. By riding here, I can pretend to be a true believer in the ironic expression "continental peace."

Sanctuary Longgwi cried for peace to the end despite being assassinated.

Even after being assassinated, the Demon King was impressed by the Holy Spirit and drank from the war.

Our images are perfectly washed.

“Barbatos. We spoke last time. We don't have to go to war for the next fifty years. This way we'll be good enough to date for 50 years. ”

“ ……. ”

“Pretend you're the main wave. And I'm gonna pretend I'm anti-static. Every time something happens on the continent, we show it to humans like you and I are building a conflict, and in the end we show them a play that suppresses you. ”

People are sneaky.

I rarely trust my opponent if they insist on peace for no reason. How much more so if the opponent is of the Demon King's clan that has been at war for thousands of years.

Eliminating such suspicions requires theater. We need to establish the character of a saint and manipulate the perpetrator of an assassination that did not even exist and create the hollow "Demon King who claims peace."

If I appoint Elizabeth as the culprit, the evidence fight will spread. There is no evidence here, of course. Even if the magic that tells the truth is proven, it's a must have.

On the contrary, if I leave Elizabeth out of this, the irony remains.

The murderer, Elizabeth, however, was quietly overcome by the mercy of the peaceful saint and the Demon King. Such a scenario is completed.

Barbatos quietly listened to me.

She asked suddenly.

“Dantalian. You sure you're not deliberately telling me who did this for me and the Plains? ”

“Of course.”

I'm just silent for me everywhere.

Barbatos sighs to see if that made any sense.

“Good. I'll make a good match for the play this time...... but I want you to be straight with me later. ”

I grinned.

I'll let you know when you and Pymon get along.

Maybe that day won't come forever.
