Former General Is Undead Knight

Two hundred years ago, when the long overdue war for the unity of the Eight Kingdoms was drawing to an end.

To Aurelia king of the kingdom of Legions, Griff, one of the four demon generals, was meeting.

"Your Majesty, you look tired. Already this war is turning into a digestive match. It will also be a matter of the earliest time before our Kingdom of Legions can unify the western part of the continent. How about a little more pleasure?

Griff speaks out worried about Aurelia.

Aurelia's expression was darker before the accomplishment of her own sorrow than before she was born.

Here recently, Griff knew that many days the meal wouldn't go through her throat.

"... I'm sorry to worry about you guys. Well, at my rate, it just fuels everyone's anxiety."

As the superficial war is over, that doesn't make everything work.

I understood that the problems and troubles were piling up.

But now I wanted my temper to be happy with the outcome.

Whether that led to the morale of Griff or the other knights, it should have been good for Aurelia's spirit as well.

Griff turns his attention to the soldiers around him.

"I have to tell His Majesty, I have something important to tell you. You guys stay back."

The soldiers present on the spot bowed their heads to Aurelia and Griff before exiting from among the kings.

"Talking is about the Duke of Raidan. He looks like he keeps moving disturbingly. We have rooted for many other aristocrats."

"... he was hungry, etc., and I knew it. But I can't dispose of it. His influence within the kingdom is too great. We can only keep the Duke of Raidan from acting."

Aurelia's dream was to build a more peaceful power through reunification.

As a result, there has been no excessive exploitation from the defeated countries.

It was also sometimes a condition of harmony with other countries, and it was necessary in order not to be betrayed by carrying disturbing elements.

However, that also led to weaknesses.

Even after the end of the war, the Kingdom of Legions becomes somewhat unstable for a few years.

Other countries have just stayed under control, and it will take time to recover the assets of countries exhausted by the war.

And if the war is over and there are no common enemies, there will also appear those who move the kingdom to poke between instability.

Assuming the Duke of Raidan moves, the kingdom will shake heavily even if he succeeds in disposing of it.

Do not let the Duke of Raidan act.

That was Aurelia's idea.

"... the Duke of Raidan seems to perceive that His Majesty Aurelia has a dark secret behind him"

Aurelia hides that she is a woman, except in very close proximity to some.

By the kingdom, a woman cannot be king.

If the war settled and the country stabilized, it was meant to be made public then.

But if the country is made public by others while it is unstable, it will be a huge loss.

"I don't imitate the Duke of Raidan and vandalizing the country for no reason. I'm a prudent man."

"... but I'm pretty sure you're actually up to something. There must be some chance of winning. If we even frustrate that, can we stop the Duke of Raidan from acting itself?

"The Duke of Raidan is a man who doesn't know what he's thinking. If you know his trump card, do so with me..."

"That's Lambert. Until now, that's what I've been thinking, too, of being the flushing demma of those jealous of his origins and achievements, such as Lambert's betrayal. But every time I've been in contact with him lately, I can't wipe a bad feeling. He's changed a little. Haven't Your Majesty noticed?

Aurelia keeps her mouth shut and looks sadly at Griff.

After a moment Aurelia opened her mouth.

"... I see what you're trying to say. Back off today."

"It's too late after the war. Even if Lambert did not betray him, he celebrates Lambert, the great hero of war, spreading disturbing rumors of His Majesty to stir up confrontation, poking at the brokenness that has arisen and sipping the savory juice. Anyway, the Duke of Raidan is going to do it."

As much as I speak, Griff's voice grows louder and his tone becomes rough.

"The habeas nobles are still unhappy that Lambert is being hailed as a hero. But as long as he lives, we have to put him in the key position he deserves as the greatest merit. At every point, Lambert can only be a spark in a new battle. More than the war is over, to the Kingdom of Legions, Lambert is unnecessary!

"... back off, I thought you said so"

"Keep your sire's eyes cloudy! For the ideal, His Majesty once told me that when I was ready to shed a lot of blood! Are you saying that now, apart from Lambert alone! Aren't you here in the near future because you know in your head that for the sake of the kingdom, you have no choice but to kill Lambert!

…………

"Assuming the Duke of Raidan moves, tens of thousands of people will bleed again. Me and Lambert still believe each other's best friends. But personal affection and politics must be separated! If you give me a shout, I'll kill Lambert! Please, make your decision here!

Aurelia closes her eyes.

There was a long, silent.

"... lately, I haven't had much chance to face Lambert either. If you, Lambert's best friend, say so much... I'm sure it's the right thing to do."

Aurelia opens her eyes thinly when she says that much, staring at Griff's face.
