Isekai Nonbiri Nouka

Wobbly Kingdom

I am the third prince of a certain country.

He will be twenty years old this year.

I'm saying it myself, but I'm good.

Excellent at arts and crafts.

More than my brothers.

That's why I'm pretending to be incompetent.

My brothers warned me that if I found out that I was good, I would be aiming for the throne, but my life would be the worst.

Thanks to you, I thought I'd survived to this age.

But it was a big mistake.

The older brother is twenty-seven years old this year, and the younger brother is twenty-five years old this year.

The two brothers were exactly my brothers.

I mean, I was doing the same thing.

Even though the two brothers were no less excellent than me, the older brother pretended to be incompetent so that he would not be alarmed by his father, the current king.

The younger brother pretended to be incompetent so that he would not be alarmed by his father or his older brother.

I'd like to say what you're doing, including me.

Thanks to this, the first prince to the third prince of this country are incompetent, and they are quite anxious about the future.

How uneasy are you... if I tell you that we are all single, will you understand?

……

Maybe we should have kept the incompetence in check a little longer.

That's not the case anymore, because the incompetence that our brothers were doing was revealed.

First, my younger brother demonstrated his ability.

Next, my last older brother.

Well, even though my father and his ministers didn't approve of my ability, I was a bit sad.....

Our brothers recognized each other.

After all, I knew the current situation accurately and was worried about the same thing.

And the three of them talked.

What are we going to do about this situation?

Yes, about the current situation in which the human nation is being destroyed.

Oh, there's not a country called the Land of Man.

The human kingdom is a generic term for countries other than the demon kingdom.

In other words, the Demon Kingdom is destroying other countries and winning by itself.

Since my country is one of man, I can't be happy with the status quo.

I am royalty in particular.

The royalty of the ruined country seems to stand in the way wherever they go.

Worst of all, they're gonna kill me.

I don't want to die.

I have to do something to scratch my legs.

Our brothers first persuaded his father.

"I'm sorry, I don't understand what you're worried about."

My father was not incompetent, but he was not well aware of the current situation.

I have no choice but to explain it one by one.

First of all, almost all of the human kingdoms are united in a hostile attitude towards the Demon Kingdom.

The three most important of these are the Gulbalt Kingdom and the Fulhardt Kingdom, which border the Demon Kingdom on the central continent, and the Garrett Kingdom, which has gained strength by honoring the angelic race.

These three countries have historically been incompatible with the demon kingdom as successors to the heroic queen.

Against these three countries, other human nations supported the front against the demon kingdom by providing small and large assistance.

Hmmm.

Isn't everything all right? "

Is everything all right?

That's impossible.

The Kingdom of Galvarto and the Kingdom of Fulham have not been able to recover from their previous food shortages, and have not been able to maintain their armies, much less maintain their fronts.

Especially the Fulham Kingdom.

For some reason, the Demon Kingdom did not attack, and by lowering the front, it was only able to maintain its state structure.

"Hmm.

Fulhardt's kingdom was painful to rub in the inheritance of the Sword Saint. "

The Sword Saint is now in the Demon Kingdom.

Huh?

It was a trivial matter, such as the Sword Saint.

The Angels are leaving the Garrett Kingdom.

The royal family of the Garrett Kingdom was crying, and somehow they were staying.

There was only one request from the remaining Angel tribe.

Don't fight the Demon Kingdom.

There was no need to obey the Demon King, but he demanded that we stop hitting each other by force.

"Don't be silly.

There are angels in that country, so we're doing something about it.

When the angels leave, they collapse. "

Incidentally, the angel tribe was reported to be going to the Demon Kingdom.

"Huh?

Didn't the angels hate the kingdom fiercely? "

I suppressed my hatred, but I guess I had a reason to go to the Demon Kingdom.

No, did the Angels really have a hatred for the Demon Kingdom?

Isn't that what you said in order to live in the human kingdom?

Regardless, the Garrett Kingdom is not advancing.

It has completely stopped moving.

In other words, the three most important countries are useless.

Then, the collapse of the Kingdom of Görzen, which had brought together the rear countries.

The extinction of the Elf Empire, which was in a position to pierce the throat of the Demon Kingdom.

Even if it was in favor of the demon kingdom, it was not disadvantageous.

"Even so."

We have a brave man, don't we?

There is an immortal hero who will come back to life no matter how many times he is killed.

If you have brave men, you don't have to be afraid of the demon kingdom. "

Father.

I'm talking about when.

Heroes are already useless.

"A brave man?"

Why? "

You really don't know?

I'm no longer alive.

“Are you stupid?

Did you try it? "

Some brave people died trying.

The hero of our country fled when he heard the story.

"Why are you running?"

When I came back to life, the heroes I had always loved were disliked.

If you know that a hero will die, those who have been tortured by heroes will also rise up.

"Gu...... if that's the case, then you're a saintly woman."

There are still saints who listen to the voice of God and guide us. "

No, not even the Holy Maiden.

As a result of the secrecy of various countries aimed at those who are qualified as saints, they are missing.

No new saints have been found.

"... my son.

What will happen to our country in the future? "

I wanted to talk to you about it.

But before I do that, can I check one thing?

What are you talking about?

Do you hate the Demon Kingdom now?

"What are you talking about?

The demon kingdom is for our human kingdom...... Is that right? "

My father also noticed.

There is no reason for my country to be hostile to the Demon Kingdom.

However, until a while ago, I thought that the Demon Kingdom was a country that had to be defeated.

I thought so, too.

My brothers, too.

Whether it was a preconceived notion of history or a group of vicious magic.....

I don't know about the demon kingdom of old, but the demon kingdom's movements in the past ten years have been rational.

There was no sign of an invasion either.

There is an Elf Empire matter, which is to protect the inhabitants of the Elf Empire destroyed by the Dragon.

In fact, if some countries complained about the Elf Empire, they gave it to the territory and the inhabitants, so they were told to take it back.

The Elf Empire's technology is attractive, but it doesn't want to have a territory close to the Demon Kingdom, and it's underrated by dragons.

As a result, no one took it back, so I was complaining that I shouldn't say anything that would make the Demon Kingdom expect me.

"... can you do it without quarrel?"

Our brother nodded to his father's words.

But there was a problem.

My country continues to support the demon kingdom in the name of attacking it.

For the Demon Kingdom, this is the cause that will attack our country.

However, stopping support is also problematic.

It was hostile to the Demon Kingdom from the surrounding countries.

We are not a great power enough to get rid of them.

Somewhat, a small country.

What should I do?

When it comes to support, there is some reason to downsize it.

Even downsized support will stop sending weapons and soldiers, mainly money and food.

Then, I think it is certain that someone will go to the Demon Kingdom and explain the policy of our country.

Yeah, my brothers agree.

"Who's going?"

I should probably go if I say so.

Huh?

Do you want to go with your brothers?

Well, then, shall we go together?

My father slapped my older brother's sleeve.

My older brother seems to remain.

Well, my younger brother.

Hurry up and get ready... my younger brother has been captured by a female officer.

It was a brilliant low altitude tackle.

For once, my younger brother is also a prince... oh, he's a man and a woman.

Just in case, I can't let you go.

I see.

I'll go alone.

Well, I have an escort.

I arrived in the city of Shashat.

It's busy.

I have concealed myself as a prince and entered the country as a general traveller.

You won't find out.

Walk through the transfer gate in this city and you will soon be the kingdom of the demons.

But before I do, I want to feel hungry.

Actually, there's a place I want to go.

My agents at the Marula store have reported that the food served there is quite delicious.

I'm also curious because there are different delicious foods in the Five Streets next to Shashat.

Should I go there too?

Hmm.

I was looking for Malura, and a man from the Beastman tribe approached me.

"I've been waiting for you."

I will guide you to the capital of the Demon Kingdom. ”

……

For the time being, check.

Do you know who I am?

I think it would be faster to accompany the demon king if he wanted to see me.

Ah, this is totally out of my league.

And also for the purpose.

Then, the opponent came alone.

Probably surrounded.

In other words, it's no use defying it.

Let's give up.

Oh, can you tell me one thing?

"What will you do?"

How did you find out?

I asked you who came from your country.

I mean....

So you're telling me that our unleashed detective has been captured and pulled?

“Don't worry, I didn't do anything painful.”

... that would be helpful.

Is it okay if I ask you your name?

"This is rude.

It's Bronn.

It's been a short time, but thank you very much. "

I followed Bronn's directions to the capital.

Meals were prepared in front of Takami, and dishes served in Marula were arranged.

Hmm, I don't feel like I can win.
