66. New King
"Long time no see, King Walms. Come on, what are you bluffing about? Let's hold a military debate on this battle against the Bulk Empire. I need you to report how far you've decided."
When I say that, the king teeth so hatefully that it can be heard here,
"You... Towards Wang Ta Nong, what is that attitude!!
And he yelled.
But when I smile,
"Let me tell you how much you can report from now on. You should behave so that you can be respectful. You can't bring nobles together in times of national crisis, because you're just incompetent. Then I guess it's only natural that you can't even muster respect, then? Don't let your identity guarantee you power. Competence gives power. Now, explain the situation so you don't spook me any more."
That's what I said.
"Gugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugu, who listens to you!!!!
But the king cried out, and gazed at me from the throne.
"Hmm, I know we haven't decided on anything anyway. That's why the Bulk Empire's declared destinations jump over the kingdom of Walms and become me. Totally incompetent. But, well, if you say so, you have no choice. He said he gave him a chance because of it..."
I really didn't want to do it because it's a hassle.
I'm sick and tired of walking up to the throne.
A few soldiers tried to stop me, but I let them pass out because I was in the way.
"Hey, what!! What are you going to do!!!??"
That's what the king shouts in his blue face, but I'll stand right in front of him.
So he reached out as he was.
"HI, HI, HI, NO, NO!!?
The king's voice sounded different, but I grabbed the king's roots as they were.
"Gu"
The voice reaches my ear, but I lift it without worrying.
So he threw it on the floor, lightly, pointy.
Along with the sound of a frog named Bechat crushing.
"Gu Hi!?
I groan uncomfortably, but I move on without worrying.
Thus he sat on the throne, which had become vacant.
And
"I will temporarily strip the king from you. For some time during this war, I will be king and run the country."
That is what he proclaimed the throne in front of his former kings and nobles.
"Then, silly!! Isn't that a snatch!!! Yup, not to be forgiven!!!?!?"
The king screamed with his butt on the ground and his blood-running eyes.
"Oh yeah, they do!!
"This can't be forgiven!!!
The nobles around them also fly their sides out of their mouths, turning their faces bright red and raising their voices.
But I'm extremely calm.
"Ha, you seem to be mistaken about something. Nothing is more harmful than the incapacitated standing on top. Especially in these critical phases. And in the first place, you don't have to worry. I'm not interested in being king. The throne is just a hassle and a pain in the ass. I'm not going to be in a position that doesn't matter. I have no choice but to temporarily be king to wipe your incompetent asses. When this war is over, I'll give it back to you. You get it?
That's what I said.
Then the former king further distorted his face,
"And against the holy throne..."
And he said with a sharp clenching of teeth.
When I smile at those words,
"I don't understand what's so sacred... Besides, you're not the only one who doesn't approve of me becoming king, are you?
That's what I said.
"Hey what!?!?
The former king screams as surprised.
What, you still didn't seem to understand.
"At least we get less endorsement from those in the neighbouring countries. Right, Lara the Demon King, and Erin the Elf Queen?
When I say that, did you two recall your position, in a different tone than usual?
"I am Lara the Demon King. I welcome you as the demon kingdom regarding the crowning of this time His Holiness Naomi Masatug. My country has temporarily allowed occupation of the invasion of the Bulk Empire, but with Lord Masatug, I want to recapture my country"
"I'm Erin, queen of elves as well. Inside my home town of Elves, I inherit the throne, burned and survived by the Bulk Empire. Like Lara, we welcome Naomi Masatug to the throne and would like to discuss with you the Bulk Empire, our parents' feud."
I said so.
That's right, they're both used to this kind of place, and you're acting like a grand stand-up.
"That's the thing. Oh, and the head of the fairy clan's substance, Princess Palmera, would agree. In fact, this is how I get my medals from the fairy clan."
That's how I supplemented it by showing Luna Fairey to the surrounding area, a pale, silver-tone (Shiragano) three-day moon on her chest, a medal with a wondrous, blue feather-like elephant embellishment (Cancer).
"He said he was the Demon King!?
"To, isn't it fake?
"Yes, no, that's not real. I've seen it when I went to the Demon Kingdom."
"So, so is the elf... That beauty, for sure. I heard rumors that one survived the elf forest..."
"On top of that, even a fairy tribe said to be the messenger of the moon is a cordiality... I hear you won't give that Luna Fairey medal to anyone..."
Surprising voices leaked from the surrounding nobles and it was clear that their attitudes had changed.
And I thought you started bothering.
"Well, I'm not necessarily against it."
"Ugh, um. Succession to the throne is something to be opened up to at the House of Lords meeting. I can't say better or worse than I don't have time to hold that meeting."
"Oh, yeah. There is also a condition that it be temporary. In wartime emergencies, it's worth considering."
He even began to hear voices that were jade insect colored, but not the other way around.
That would be so.
Because nobility is the lord of the land, it does not matter who is king. Strongly speaking, that's fine as long as you protect your own interests in the land. In that sense, he is a creature that constantly weighs which kings have the advantage over him.
Friendly relations with neighbouring countries are diplomacy, precisely the point at which the power of the king is tested, which is linked to the interests of his own land. This time, the fact that I am actually friendship with demonic kingdoms, elves, and fairies seems to have been seen in their eyes as a fact of some impact.
"What do you say, there seems to be someone in the nobility of this country who agrees. This is how the people of the neighbouring countries have expressed their approval. Well, can you still say that I don't deserve the throne?
When I say that, the ex-king has his eyes peeled off,
"Stupid!! Such an idiot!!?!?
and one, he raised a screaming voice among the thrones.
