Even Though I was the Real Saint, I was Exiled—Which Means my Country is Over (WN)
99. He doesn't even seem to be the same as before
After releasing Claude and the others, we immediately ran to the rescue of the others.
As Klaus said, it seems that the ministers and His Majesty the King were also locked up in some dungeons on this floor.
Fortunately, everyone was safe.
Well, I guess the demon race thought it was highly valuable to use it. Besides, Philip said that he would sacrifice the lives of his people for the resurrection of the Demon King.
That's probably why he didn't kill any of them.
In the beginning, you all asked, "Why did the neighboring countries (you guys) come to save us? He looked at us suspiciously.
But this is not the time to be suspicious, and he listened to us relatively honestly.
I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work.
And ...... after some time, we gathered in the throne room for a discussion.
"You have done a great job of rescuing our country. I thank you.
His Majesty the King in a pompous manner tells.
So the pompous attitude is still the same.
It's not a good idea to have a word for ...... long time. Well, I don't really care.
...... The king sits on his throne and Claude is beside him.
Meanwhile ...... our side is Nigel, Douglas ...... and myself.
You'll find that you'll be able to get a lot more out of them.
I'm not going to be able to get it right.
I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about it.
I'm not going to be able to get it right.
It is a pleasure to meet you. Once again, I am Nigel Lynchingham. It may be that His Majesty the King of our country should be here, but this is an emergency, and I hope you will forgive my rudeness. I hope you will forgive my rudeness.
"Mm.
The king gives Nigel a price-taking look as he bows his head.
Tension in the throne room.
'Let's not be so formal. I'll get straight to the point. What does Lynchingham want with us?
And the question from the king.
I came.
The main topic of the story.
The kingdom had been engaged in a rather one-sided diplomacy towards other countries until now. It could have been a state of war at any time.
That's why even in Lynchigiham, people like Vincent-sama were insisting on military expansion.
What country would help such a kingdom to be overrun by the demon tribe, just because it was an emergency?
No ...... would be possible without interest.
I think His Majesty understands that very well.
Well, maybe that's just what the ministers told him.
Either way, I'm sure the king thinks that no one is willing to help the country ...... for free.
Depending on the demands, the kingdom's predicament will continue.
But that doesn't mean that the kingdom, weakened by the attacks of the demon tribe, is no longer capable of preventing the invasion from other countries.
Everyone here must be thinking that way, too.
The unique tension made my skin tingle and burn with pain.
While everyone was watching Nigel's every move, he said in an imposing tone, "I only want one thing.
I only wish to do one thing. All I ask is that you allow us and the Knights of Lynchingham to stay in the country for a while.
"............
At Nigel's request, the king did not return his words.
Nigel didn't care and continued on with his story.
I'm not trying to be rude, but right now ...... this country has been weakened by the invasion of the demon tribe, and it will be difficult to put it back together. It will be difficult to move the country back to normal.
There is no denying it. But ......
"I don't think the demon tribe will give up the kingdom with this. I'm sure the second and third wave of demon armies will attack us. You know that, don't you, Your Majesty? Can this country hold out against that attack then ......?
Don't be a fool. You don't have to worry about us, this country is on its own ......
You couldn't actually do it, which is why you are the way you are, right?
"...... clicks
In pursuit of Nigel, the king's face twisted, unable to answer well.
"This proposal is not a bad thing for the kingdom. It is an offer that we can help to contain the chaos for a while until the country settles down. His Majesty the King, I hope you will accept my offer.
Again Nigel bows his head.
The request from Nigel is perfectly natural. I'm sure it's a good thing for the kingdom, as it makes sense at first glance.
But the king can't shake his head easily.
It is natural.
Because he thinks, "I'm going to say something deafening and Lynch Giham is going to take control of the country.
This concern is also, well, normal.
In fact, there are many instances in history where the country has been taken over as it is.
That said, the offer from Nigel is also right on target.
A last-minute bargain.
I may not be able to give you an answer right away.
"...... Um, oh(er) dad(er),
Amidst a tense silence.
Then one person raised his hand to speak to the king.
"...... What's up, Claude?
Claude.
He spoke in a terrified, faltering tone, "I think you should listen to Lynchingham.
'I think you should listen to Lynch Gillingham...'
"What?
No, no ......! It's true that the country is in shambles because of the demon race. And it's also true that they helped the country: ......
I was surprised.
I didn't expect Claude to say this.
'I don't remember asking for help!
And I was expecting you to say something gratuitous .......
And even though Claude is the first prince of this country, he is not upset with his father, His Majesty the King.
It was impossible for him to rebel like this. ......
It's a good thing that you're not going to be able to find a way to make your life easier," he said.
But Claude's statement is.
"What are you talking about! You're not ready to get involved in politics yet! Keep your mouth shut and don't say anything else!
And it was easily dismissed.
'Hi, hi!'
Claude looks momentarily pressured by His Majesty the King's anger.
But he glanced at me ...... and then at Nigel for a moment, and then repeated the words without giving up.
But ...... your father knows that. I'm sure your father understands that this is the end of the world if we don't do something about it. I'm sure you'll find that the demon tribe has their eyes on you. And there is no solution to this problem. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to talk to the people you owe a debt of gratitude to," she said.
"Claude! You want to tell me about ......? You know what?
Oh, well.
A father-son fight has begun.
Apparently, Claude is on our side (?). but he can't seem to persuade the king to do so.
In a quarrel, it looks like his father is going to get the better of him.
...... What should I do?
Well, I wasn't expecting a quick conclusion either.
Looking at Claude and the king, who are firing verbal shots at each other.
Me and Nigel hid our voices and exchanged a few words.
For now, I think it's safe to say that we'll call it a day and conclude tomorrow at .......
I don't want to spend too much time on this, but if it comes to this, I can't blame you--
Hey,
But this time.
Douglas, who had been crossing his arms and keeping his mouth shut, stepped forward.
"What, you're doing something sluggish.
It took a blink of an eye.
Douglas rushed to the king like a flash of light, grabbed him by the breast and said, "You have no choice in the first place.
"You have no choice in the matter. If you want, you can destroy me and my country right now, you know.
