It Is A Different World And Yet I Am Cultivating Monsters

"Hey, Alicia. What was" King's War "?

When I saw that Alicia's brother Masauda had left, I heard the word I was curious about earlier.

"The Battle of Kings is the ritual of passing through one's own claims, which have been played among royalties for generations. Only if they agree to the King's War will it be done and the victorious royal family will be heard."

"I see...."

It's like a duel.

But what does that mean about the King's War?

"It's mostly a one-on-one game. Matches and culinary matches with replica swords vary from region to region. In recent years, this Arabic culinary achievement has been recognized globally... but it is also due to the spice I developed, and I don't think Masauda-sama will fight in such a way. Probably looking for another way to play."

I see. But a duel, if only it wasn't dangerous.

Rostam next door declares that he has read my thoughts.

"Kyo, I understand your concern. It's true that blood doesn't usually flow in king wars... but in some cases, there are such bloody king wars."

Huh?

Rostam answers faster than I ask.

"Originally used to quickly settle disputes between royalties, King's War was also used when it was judged impossible to settle disputes. For example, if both are eligible to succeed to the throne and are not willing to cede to either, serious matches may be used to eliminate disturbing opponents. Killing the opponent in a formal duel is not a crime. There's one side to this, and in most countries, king warfare is rarely used."

"Well then, is that what he wanted to fight Kings for...?!

Rostam nodded quietly to my thoughts.

Alicia also knew about it, so she turned away.

"Alicia, you... did you understand?"

…………

In response to my question, Alicia affirmed in silence.

Maybe that was the only choice I had at that time.

Above all, it was the choice she made to protect her brother. I may be wrong to accuse you of that, but I just wanted to say this.

"You... don't just make it impossible. I know you care about your brother, but there are people who care about you."

It's her brother, Singh, and the servants who adore her in this detachment.

I also lived in this secluded house and found out, but the servants all admired Alicia.

That's because she treated her men and servants equally, unlike any other royal family.

Of course, I also think Alicia is an important ally now.

I'm going to put those thoughts into my mouth, but for some reason, Alicia can swim with her cheeks red after a while.

"... um, um, that's it... come on, you're not talking about me..."

"I'm sure that's important."

She always said she was naturally worried, but as soon as she heard about it for some reason, Alicia turned bright red again and wobbled.

"... that's what I want you to say when you two are alone...!

What? What? What's that supposed to mean?

Has Alicia no longer had to pretend to be a man since she brought Singh back? Recently, the first person has changed from me to me, and there is a feminine atmosphere that has never existed before.

Along with that, sometimes maiden-like tricks are hidden, but is this also a kind of trick?

If you think so, for some reason, Rostam and Zahak around are staring at us with a smile and laughing.

"... but it is possible that he will use the Battle of Kings to eliminate Alicia. The first thing we need to do is wait and see what happens in King's Championship."

I also nodded quietly to Rostam's opinion.

Nevertheless, there's nothing we can do about the noise from outsiders here.

Now, even if Alicia refuses to fight the Kings, they will be banished by their sisters and brothers.

Then again, we have no choice but to pass on Alicia's opinion in the victory of Kings.

But there's something else we can do besides the Battle of Kings.

What is happening in this country now. In contrast, if there is anything I can do with the help of me and my people,

I thought so. When I was checking the area around the room, I saw Dorage sleeping in the corner yawning, and Dora-chan sitting on his head, and I had an idea.

"-That's right. I'm the only one who can help."

I don't know if this will be good or bad.

I still ask Alicia if I can help the country a little.

Alicia, I need a favor.

Alicia opened her eyes to surprise when she heard my request, but the moment she heard my thoughts, she nodded and accepted my request.

Alicia's younger brother Singh, who was afraid to see us talking from the bed, had some thoughtful expression on his face, and neither Alicia nor Rostam noticed it at this time.

"But as always, something interesting is happening around that key."

"... that sounds fun, Rostam..."

Zahak opens his mouth as he looks at his brother Rostam in the hallway from Alicia's room to the room he was given for himself.

"Of course. That's a wonderful man I admitted to. If it comes to confronting new problems, I will support it to the fullest extent possible, and I will cooperate if I ask for it. Above all, I believe that the actions they take are accelerating the evolution of the world."

Zahak had the same idea on that point.

If your abilities are useful, it is not hard to help him.

However, in this case, we did not need our own strength to solve the problem, and Kyo himself was already solving the problem.

Then what we can do is deal with the unforeseen.

For that reason, I intended to stay in the country until the matter was settled.

"... so what are you going to do while you're in this country...?

"Let's start with the man named Masauda. I wonder why that man is trying to eliminate Sin and Alicia as his enemies."

Zahak also nodded quietly about the remark.

Indeed. No matter how many kings are on the hospital bed, it would be too easy to expel them in the meantime.

In addition, the risk is too high even if Masauda attempted to assassinate her sister and brother a few years ago.

Masauda is already the first heir to the throne. It is decided that he will take the throne without doing anything.

Nevertheless, if Alicia had ordered her sisters and brothers to assassinate, something should be lurking behind it.

Circumstances in the royal palace that swirl over the plot. I suppose it was because of Rostam and Zahaq, the same royalty, that I felt something.

And those backwork is their part.

At the same time that Rostam entered the room and contacted the intelligence forces present in his country, Zahaq tried to smelt future movements in a room he had prepared for himself.

"--I 've been waiting. Ruler Zahaq"

There was a monster listening to us from the open balcony.

A beast with a lion's body and bat's wings on the human face and a scorpion's tail.

"... manticore..."

It is an A-ranked monster that takes the alias of a desert demon and is naturally a monster known to Zahak.

Zahkh remembers the manticore that raised Singh, which was mentioned earlier by Kyo and others, but why is it in his room?

"... I've heard about you from someone."

Zahaq frowned slightly on the word "person".

I have a favor to ask.

But listening to the remarks from Manticore that followed, Zahak had a stunned look on his face.
