Hakai no Miko

Mendax didn't understand the word at first.

The entrance and exit of the Royal Palace are already held by us. A strong royal palace that prevents foreign enemies from entering can only be a cage (discharge) that cannot be removed from the inside. There's no way we can get out of it. He also had prior knowledge of places where he could hide in the royal palace, and he had been given priority in searching for such places.

And yet, you can't possibly find the Son of Destruction.

"Don't be ridiculous! Look for it!"

It would be the neglect of the soldiers who plundered and mausoleum strangely. That's what I thought. When Mendax reprimands him, the soldier whispers.

"That's what made me wonder, and I questioned the captured women and officials about the whereabouts of my son of destruction -"

Soldiers say only a few words here.

"- If you haven't seen the Son of Destruction at all since about evening, everyone will say with their mouths shut."

Just Mendax also felt strange about the soldier's serious tone and impatient expression.

"It's decided because I was pulling into my room with Princess Wallina like that!

Yes. Mendax, who reprimanded the soldier, heads early enough to Princess Wallina to confirm his claim.

"Stop, stop, stop!

Between the mercenary and Princess Wallina, who was now about to work the wolf, Mendax broke in with his hands swinging.

The mercenaries, who had been called upon to wait in front of the superb prey for this reason, blatantly face off.

"Good, you guys stay back!

Mendax, who suppressed the mercenaries' dissatisfaction by adding in a whisper, "I can use it right away," asks Princess Wallina, not even giving her a bite at what she was trying to humiliate at her behest, but with a snarling grin.

"I am truly sorry, but I would like to ask His Highness the Princess"

Even though it was an attempt, it was exposed to the mercenaries' beast appetite until earlier. Princess Wallina, who was feeling in danger for herself, said, blue-whiting her face, "What is it?" I ask.

"He's the Son of Destruction!

Princess Wallina puts a small neck on Mendax's words.

"Is it Master Soma?

"Yes! Did you not know that the Son of Destruction was gone?!"

Princess Wallina answers the unexpected question after making her eyes patchy.

"Master Soma and I don't know because we haven't seen each other today."

Mendax's jaw fell.

"I haven't seen him...?

Such an idiot, Mendax thinks.

Though my suggestion, I decided to entertain Princess Wallina with a small feast under the moon, and it was the Son of Destruction who invited Princess Wallina. That's the impossible story of not even welcoming him.

"Is it true?!" Mendax said, finding the warinned maid. Scared by Mendax's gaze, the samurai answers.

"The princess is right. Today, when he ascended the castle, an elf woman named the chief woman greeted him, and the son of destruction left the castle in haste, he said. They told me they'd be back in a while, but they never will. Even the elves who had been working with them stopped showing up for some time, and we were outraged that we were going to leave the princess alone."

You don't seem to be lying.

That's what Mendax decided about the look of the samurai, blue-faced but outraged.

But then where did the Son of Destruction go?

Either way, there's just something unusual going on that's not in my plan. Until it becomes clear what the hell it is, Princess Wallina, who was able to secure her figure, is one of the important notes. I couldn't hang up my hand poorly here.

Mendax turns to the mercenaries who wait behind him, wondering if they have yet or not.

"And anyway, it's important if anything happens to Her Royal Highness Princess Warina! Let's take you to your old room and make sure you're protected there! All right! Never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever! All right! Absolutely!

Repeatedly, the mercenaries seem to have finally understood that their plans have changed. With confusion, he nevertheless indicated his willingness to accept Mendax's order.

Furthermore, Mendax, who was also concerned about the mercenaries' rampage, tells his son, Padax, that when he runs the decree, he orders the protection of Princess Wallina, along with the private soldiers, so that no mistakes can be made.

When the soldier is taken away and Princess Wallina is gone, Mendax kicks the floor in frustration and curses.

"Damn! Son of Destruction, where have you been?!"

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

"Did the Son of Destruction leave the King's Capital for good?!"

Mendax grabbed the action of the Ethereal Horse when the morning sun had already risen as well. What was brought to Mendax, who awaited the reward of the discovery of the Son of Destruction without proper attention, was that the Son of Destruction was already out of the King's Capital, on the contrary of discovery.

"It's my pleasure. Yesterday, the gatekeeper said that the son of destruction left the main entrance of the king's capital with only Zoan's daughter and a few guards."

The Son of Destruction said to the Gatekeeper that he would go hunting with his own hands for the prey to be offered for the feast in order to entertain Princess Wallina at the feast under the moon. For this reason, the Gatekeeper also sent Princess Wallina out quickly.

Moreover, at that time, the Son of Destruction went down from his horse on purpose, and put words of labor (onions) on each of the gatekeepers, and waved his love to the people that were with him.

These things have never reached Mendax's ears before because Mendax was blocking information on the Royal Castle and the King's Capital. In the unlikely event that the measures taken to prevent the rebellion from leaking in advance had instead blocked the information that the Son of Destruction was fleeing the King's capital.

"Wait, wait, wait! What was the castle gatekeeper doing?! Why couldn't he reward the Son of Destruction for leaving?!"

The gatekeepers of the castle gate had arranged for those who had confirmed their gold and status to carry them in, and if anything, a report was to be entered into the mansion of Mendax. Also, just before the rebellion, we did things by doing people here and making sure that nothing was wrong.

The soldier kept saying only slightly, "That's..." before continuing.

"The gatekeepers say with all their mouths that none of the sons of destruction, nor any of those subpeople, have come round the gates of the castle."

Mendax gets furious.

"How did you get under the castle without passing through the gates of the royal castle, and from there you went to the main gate of the king's capital?!"

To the fierce fury, the soldier, who had no answer to it, lay flat at the spearhead of his anger.

Besides, Mendax leaks his tongue in frustration.

"Then the elves! When Walina climbed the castle, an elf woman greeted her. At least those guys should be somewhere in the castle!

To Mendax's questioning, the soldier adds his troubled face.

"That's what made me look for the royal castle, but I still haven't found a single sub."

What the hell is this all about?

Mendax was confused.

If it's just one son of destruction, it could just be a coincidence. But it's different to say that not a single one of those loose sub-humans could have disappeared. This only seems to me to be pre-planned action.

So Mendax realizes haha.

When the Son of Destruction left the King's Capital, he purposefully waved his love to the people until he disembarked. Isn't that like showing off that you left the king's capital?

Mendax lifts up his voice with a bad feeling.

"When did the Son of Destruction guy leave King's Capital?! Of course, I guess since Walina climbed the castle?!"

That was Mendax's hope. If Princess Wallina had ascended the castle, she could insist that the Son of Destruction had fled the king's capital for fear of his own deeds after he had spread to the crime.

But the answer of the soldier questioned was not what Mendax expected.

"It was before Princess Wallina climbed the castle."

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

Not good, not good.

Mendax was in a hurry.

Originally planned, the neck of the Son of Destruction should have been raised at the castle gate, waiting relaxed for the Marquis of Apius to lead the soldiers to come.

But I have no idea if there is a child of destruction that is supposed to take over and disappear here. On the contrary, we still didn't even know how we got down to the King's Capital without going through the gates of the Royal Castle.

And the problem isn't just the whereabouts of the Son of Destruction.

Perhaps the hand of the Son of Destruction was lurking in the king's capital. When Princess Wallina ascended the castle, there was already talk that the Son of Destruction had left the King's capital. There were also testimonies of gatekeepers and numerous residents who had witnessed it, and those who believed Mendax's claim that the Son of Destruction had mauled and killed Princess Wallina were almost gone.

Mendax therefore had to rush to lay a mantra on Wang Du, but it had instead caused Mendax to become more suspicious.

Even more prominent among the mercenaries who were hiring in were beginning to flee early by perceiving the air of the inhabitants of the King's Capital, which was negative to Mendax. There are many mercenaries at the centre of those who have such a good eye. For that reason, if you realize it, one of the troops could have disappeared overnight.

These shortages of gestures had even made the dominated Royal Castle a burden now.

But that's why you can't abandon the royal castle. It is only with two handbills: the royal castle, which is also a symbol of royal power, and the heir to the throne, Princess Warina, that we can send the old Holmeer gods a suicide note. If we abandon the royal castle now, we will no longer be able to look to the Mendax.

Nevertheless, there has not yet been a single reply from the Hordes that they will respond to Mendax's prayer.

While we should no longer abandon the royal castle and take only Princess Wallina away, and try to start over in another land, Mendax couldn't let go of the royal castle without giving up hope that if it were tomorrow, the people who responded to it would rush us.

No longer is Mendax's only request made by the Marquis of Apius. Mendax could only continue to pray, trembling on the throne of the chamber of sight, where he had deliberately restarted that the armies of the border marquis led by Marquis Apius would defeat the armies of the Son of Destruction.

Things get worse and worse while we do that.

Logistics lagged behind, for fear of the Son of Destruction's counterattack, and for that reason discontent grew among the people of the King's capital, and voices began to rise openly demanding the opening of the gate and the explanation of a series of events. From among the gestures came a succession of people who looked away from Mendax, even from private soldiers who had served only mercenaries for many years.

But Mendax pulled between his glances, not even temporarily trying to leave the throne, whether he was possessed by the delusion that he would take it from someone if he left the throne at all, without dealing with any of those things.

Even my son, Padax, began to touch the swelling in this father's condition, and kept everyone away from Mendax.

It's been a long time since a soldier jumped in during the sight of no one like that.

"My lord! It's important, it's important!

The Mendax, who barely slept properly in the last few days and did not even eat properly through his throat, yet became a dead man's shaped figure, moved his eyes slightly in his obtuse orbits falling into the soldier's cry.

"Is it from the Border Marquis Army?! The reward of defeating the subhumans who went on a crusade?!"

That being the case, the soldier snorts for a moment at Mendax's aspirational question. But immediately to escape Mendax's gaze, he offered to dedicate a chunk of cloth he had when he poked his knee on the spot and lowered his face.

"Earlier, something like Harpuan dropped this in the royal castle garden."

Mendax, who can't ignore it while he remembers his unpleasant hunch, slowly spread the cloth with his trembling fingers when he received it.

Staring seriously at the spread cloth, Mendax glances small and leaks a scream that he pushed to death from his lips.

"Hii!"

It was the military flag of the Marquis of Apius all over the blood mud.
