Hero without Blood or Tear

Then I had a lot of conversations with the boiling abyss. Several agreements were made, such as comparing and tuning each other's schemes.

“I will proceed as we discussed today. ”

“Good. Do you need anything? ”

Including this, he put on the crown and decided to be rewarded greatly. However, the abyss boiling separately from him was for convenience.

“You are indeed generous. So there is one request. ”

“Speak.”

“Under my command is the Kalionean maze. I want you to sponsor her. ”

Callione needed the absolute help of a manifesto.

“Sponsorship is possible. But it must be worth it for the Horsemen of Callione. ”

Even though Callione is famous in the Empire, it's a souvenir he's never heard of. Give him a good reason to pay attention.

“A princess of noble lineage. The only daughter of the late Demon King Kaimars. ”

“There is no reason to be born of blood. ”

In his view, mortal men are either kings or rabble. The value of being born only in a noble family is useless against a boiling abyss.

“There's something special about her. It was in Likentiatus that I was the only one familiar with the manifesto. It's getting better and better. ”

“Oh, it's a manifesto. You have an interesting ability. Hehehe.”

The boiling abyss gives me a pleasant tinge.

“Are you familiar with the manifesto? ”

“Of course. It's usually a trick given to just one person per planet. A force from the planetary unit to ward off the chaotic forces of darkness. ”

“Is it the Great One who made the sacrament? ”

“Yes. A product of a time when I had a dark crown. ”

I never thought he'd let a mortal control a planet of darkness.

“That's why it's often called hope. ”

“Is it worth it to her? ”

“Of course. I accept your request. I will grant her the power of the wanderer to find the crown. ”

Okay. This gives Callione a job as a "wanderer with a crown", just like me. A foundation for her to enhance the performance of the manifesto.

“Thank you very much. ”

“I only responded because I proved my worth. I'll ask for what's left of Likentiatus. ”

“I'll do my best. ”

The meeting with the boiling abyss is over. Suddenly, the surrounding scenery was transformed back into an underground cavity.

* * *

When I came out, Ruth welcomed me.

“What happened? ”

“Thanks to you, it went well. ”

I asked Giant Rockspius to take care of the ruins.

“Call your comrades and guard them like iron bars. There's a giant horse sleeping in here. If you let it go, the world will burn. ”

“Don't worry. As you command, Roxspius, I lay down my life! ”

I made a deposit of 100,000 Florins to share with my fellow Giants. Roxspius is furious.

“Even if it is not gold, I will serve it. ”

“But isn't it better to have gold? ”

“Kuhahaha! That's right. ”

“Pouring for free doesn't suit your tastes. Then please.”

As I turn the horse, Roxspius kneels down on one knee and sends it away. I turned to him once and nodded.

“Contact me if you need anything. ”

“Thank you for your consideration. ”

It was good to see how few people could penetrate the ruins once the giants came and guarded them. Even the Demon King won't be able to say anything.

“Master, let's go back. ”

“I see.”

I rode alongside him on a horse and told him stories in the ruins. I couldn't tell you about the Dark Army, but I was fine with the Coral Princess.

“What was inside was the Coral Princess's sword. ”

“Oh! Is that so? Did you get the sword?”

“I got it, but it didn't help right away. ”

The sword painted on the wall by the coral princess and her know-how come out memorized. But that sword was something that she developed and organized after her struggling death.

The technology itself was very good, but I couldn't use it unless I was powered by death.

There is no power source. It's like you have a device, but you don't have a battery. One way or another, we needed to negotiate with death.

“Well, that's too bad. ”

“The art of the legendary monster hunter. Perhaps it was his own reconstruction of the Coral Princess's sword. ”

Maybe the legendary monster hunter had a great sense. Without the patronage of death, he saw the useless sword and invented his own. Although they degrade relative to the original, they have great application power.

I gave it to Ruth because I found his skill on the way out of the ruins. I didn't need anything anyway. What are you going to do now, slaughtering the Demon King?

“If you master this skill and let it pass on to future generations, you won't get much out of your job as a monster hunter. ”

“Oh, my God, my shoulders are getting heavy. Thank you."

After arriving at Lake Boden, I broke up with Ruth.

“Teacher, stay healthy until we meet again. ”

“You take care, too. I wish you luck."

I returned immediately to Pfalz, and four days later, the procession of Pfalz finally departs for Bohemia. Needless to say, the entire empire has noticed this grand procession.

“Our Lord wants to sit with other kings of history in dignity. Now put on the sacred crown and praise the name of King Friedrich, who will defend Bohemia! ”

His enthusiastic officials shout at the lead of the procession. They were never to be seen by the citizens again. The excitedly preeminent disciples continued the grand march, sprinkling bread and silver coins all over the place.

“The king's path is the path of money. ”

I nodded my head in ridicule.

“The king has dignity and depends on his wealth. Friedrich said he was a wealthy man. If we go to Bohemia, the warehouse will soon be empty. Then you'll go straight to hell. ”

He's at war with Bohemia. War causes financial loss, no matter how wealthy a man may be. I was happy to watch Friedrich fall.

“Hail Pfalz! ”

“The new king is here! ”

When Friedrich arrived in Prague, the capital of Bohemia, the citizens were greeted with a fierce welcome. This was a terrible divorce, but no one had noticed it yet.

“Your Majesty, please be a good soldier! ”

I pretended to be impressed and congratulated Friedrich. Already his mouth was clenching. I don't think the groom will be this happy on his first night.

“Thank you, Duke. ”

He was so moved that he held my hands and waved. Is it that good to be king?

* * *

It was only during the war and the coronation was held in full swing. The invited guests smiled brightly and celebrated Friedrich's ascent. I wonder if they really celebrated, but they all smiled on the outside. They were all very noble people.

“Royal Highness. ”

“Just call me Roelin. ”

As soon as the coronation was over, I called for Roelin. They are very close to each other these days. I met her often after she came to Prague.

We walked side by side in a beautiful garden with fountains installed. I politely escorted her who folded her arms naturally.

“Very well, Roelin. I have a favor to ask. ”

“What is it?”

“Please return to Roseland. ”

In my words, Roelin was a little embarrassed, but soon after realizing what she meant, she smiled calmly.

“I was an illusion, right? ”

“That's right. That was an excuse to fool Friedrich. ”

Friedrich helped build courage as Roelin, the Rose Demon King, helped Bohemia. But when he needs help, this Demon King will be stranded on his own turf.

“In the beginning, the war between the Emperor and Bohemia was nothing but a wound. It's all about loss. There's no reason for her to be involved. ”

In my words, she smiled softly.

“Only a wicked man would benefit from the sight of a girl. ”

When I picked it up, I laughed.

“Roelin will benefit, too. When this fight is over... ”

I tried to explain the land and the monetary gain that Roelin would gain, but my long, pointy fingers stopped my lips. She shakes her head and whispers.

“That's not what a girl's gain is. ”

“So what is it? ”

“I'm engaged to the man in front of me. ”

Roelin smiles, saying that's the most important thing. She was eventually engaged in exchange for getting her into politics. I also liked this beautiful and wise Queen. We got along very well.

It's just that Calliope's been running out of order, and it's been a real pain in the ass to think about it.

“Thank you for saying that. ”

“You're welcome. But wouldn't her reputation be lost in Bohemia if she fell in love like this? Bohemia is an important partner for girls. ”

“Don't worry. We'll make it very smooth. That's my specialty, isn't it? Roelin was always trying to help Bohemia with power. ”

“But it was a force majeure? ”

You're a smart girl. That's good to know.

“That's right.”

“Hoho, what kind of force have you prepared for my romantic debutante? The girl's a little excited. ”

“I'm pre-Steel. ”

“Ah!”

Roelin couldn't hide her surprised expression. Then he looked at me admirably.

“What a trick. Maybe you're so good at decorating your thorax? Can you guide the girl separately? It'd be nice to get out of bed. Hehe.”

Her blatant temptation jumps my heart. Her breasts puffed up with a slight pinched dress caught my eye. Even that white ridge seemed noble because she was a noble woman.

“Well, by the way, if Steel Premiere shows up to take back the Pfalz, there's a way out of here for Roelin. We know that you two were powerful allies. ”

I told Roelin to stand up when the Iron Pilgrimage appeared and had a fight with Friedrich's forces.

“No one will question the price of the Demon King of Roses to mediate. Then I want you to support Philip after the steel preliminary. Now that you're king, you can ask your nephew to return the Pfalz. ”

“Hahaha, of course Friedrich is sticky, right? He can't lose his wealthy arms. I'll be able to distinguish naturally afterwards. ”

“That's right. I want to support Bohemia, but I have no choice but to part with King Friedrich. ”

But he added that he should not stop there.

“That should be enough, but we need to be more thorough. Bohemian households are already being consumed rapidly. We can afford it, but the poor are already experiencing it. Loelin is generous to them. ”

“How sly of you. You want me to continue to appeal to my love for Bohemia. ”

“That's right. The more people of Bohemia grumble against their king. ”

This way, Roelin won't miss a single loss on this complex battlefield. I told her to go back to Roseland tonight.

“The coronation will keep Prague busy until late. If you get out of here, you won't get wet. ”

“Definitely.”

Roelin shakes her head. Then there was one condition.

“What is it? I'll do anything Roelin asks of me. ”

“It's simple. Give me a big kiss that I'll never forget when I get back to Roseland. ”

* * *

That night, Roelin sneaks the group out of Prague. Friedrich stayed up all night in the heat of the coronation and had no idea that his powerful allies had evaporated.

“If I'd known this, I'd have taken Roelin hostage. ”

You climb up the wall and look at the wagon, muttering, and bring me a hot tea.

“Haha, I got a call from pre-Steel. Wittenbuyers are recruiting as many troops as they need. They're asking me when I'm going to leave. ”

“Tell him to wait a little longer. Things need to get better. ”

Friedrich will pull the funds out of Pfalz if he runs out of money underwater. Of course, the taxes that will be erased on Pfalz will also become heavy.

Then the complaints will grow. But then, what if Steel Pre-Election shows up?

He was originally a legitimate successor. It was popular with the young dragon of Pfalz. The citizens of Pfalz have forgotten that he is dead, but they will become enthusiastic if they come back when it is difficult. People always want a superhuman to put the pain out of reality.

“Power is easy to capture if you know the psychology of wanting superhumans. ”

While I was enjoying myself so much, suddenly my face was stiff.

“What's the matter? ”

When I was worried about the moon, I looked up at the night sky and answered.

“The one crouching in the grave is getting closer. ”

“What happens if he approaches Likentiatus? ”

Suddenly, I felt the bitterness in my mouth.

“Disaster. Things are gonna get worse. His dark energy will corrupt the planet itself. ”

The river dried up, the lake rotted, the volcano exploded, the Tidal Wave happened.... They get worse and worse, and eventually they go extinct.

“We don't have much time. Maybe even extinction will be a happy ending. If the patience of those crouching in the grave reaches its limit, I will tear the planet apart to attack the Seal directly. ”

In time, Likentiatus will be torn to shreds or vanished into the dust of the universe. I didn't like the look of worrying about the moonlighting I heard about. So I held his hand tightly.

“But you know what's lucky? ”

“What is it? Merge.”

“There's something untouchable about that coming, and there's still something we can do for humans. ”

The moonlighter lingers for a while, then quietly asks.

“Can you fuck with me? ”

“Of course. Look at Friedrich now. All greedy bastards are fooled. ”

That's what fraudsters do.
