Kuro no Maou

Ice Crystal Moon 1.

King Avalon, Miriad Julius Elrod, had his eyes black and white in front of the party leaders of the twelve aristocrats who had gathered suddenly.

"--Your Majesty, I apologize for your sudden visit. If only we had the courtesy to play it quickly."

Among the twelve aristocrats of Avalon, Heinet, the lord of the Arc Wright family, speaks on behalf of the whole throne.

For Miriald, he has been a friend and one of the trusted since the time of Imperial School.

Six masters stand behind him.

"Hmm, I have no idea what you're talking about... Sir Arklight, there are actually seven main houses gathered here, starting with you. That would be a lot of things."

"Yes, Your Majesty. This is about the survival of our country."

Even if Heineken is alone, the visit with King Millard will come soon if he wishes. Avalon is governed by the opinion of the king and the twelve nobles. So for centuries since the founding of the country, there have been no major problems.

It is difficult for kings to decide in total disregard of the opinions of the twelve nobles. However, it is very rare for the twelve nobles to adopt unanimous resolutions.

Of the twelve nobles who greatly influenced such a king's decision, now came seven, including the Arclite, the majority of the lords. Suddenly, there was no prior contact.

Ordinary aristocrats would be rude and get paid in advance, but I can't afford not to listen to that story until they hurry up like this.

"Well, let me hear it."

"Ha, I'm afraid I give it to His Majesty King Millard. On this day, His Majesty will withdraw to succeed His Royal Highness the First Prince Nero."

Silence comes between the thrones.

"... Sir Arklight, no, Heineken. The rest of you are old friends. Now let's just say we didn't hear what he said."

It is no joke to be forced to abandon a king.

If you are a king of a kingdom, you are rude enough not to listen to me, but to behead me immediately. No, it would be considered treason.

But Miriam believes it. I expect Heine Ann Arclito to be my friend.

"If you receive a joke, say it many times. Together we are here today to welcome His Majesty King Millard as his next king."

"What do you mean..."

Hmm, don't you see?

"Answer me, Heineken!

Millard shouted that he rarely roughed up his voice, often speaking warmly, and that in shadows he could be ridiculed as unconscious.

Like King Leonhart of Sparta, Myriad has no power at all. Swords and magic were taught at Imperial School, but their skill was much inferior to that of knights. There is no power to fight.

Still, as king, you must yell at what you have said so many times.

If you can't drink this, you won't be king at the earliest.

"Fufu, fuhahahaha-- no, you don't understand, Millard."

"Heineken, you!?

Abandoning his thanks as a minister, Heine stood up arrogantly before the king sitting on the throne.

Then the six party leaders stood without the king's permission.

"Are you going to start a rebellion....."

"There's no such thing as a rebellion. We didn't betray anything."

"Don't betray me! You Avalons and the Twelve Aristocrats... defy the royal family! To this royal family, descendants of the emperor Elrod!!

"That's why, Millard. Because you are the descendant of Mia Elrod, the great sinner who disobeyed God, we have never sworn allegiance to the royal family as one of our ancestors."

"What are you... what are you talking about? You want to humiliate even the greatest hero of Pandora's unity?"

In this case, the principle of behavior is understandable as long as it is a mere rebellion.

People's desires are infinite. Because of his ambition, he betrayed the LORD, and wanted himself to stand up; and there were many in history who did so.

To put it bluntly, this Elrod royal family may have been created in the middle of a dark age.

If it's a man, everyone wants it. Like Mia Elrod, the ancient demon king.

Its name is the only existence and symbol that dominated the continent. A legendary god who reigned as the first pillar of the black gods, but was not blessed yet.

The name of Demon King Mia is a goal for the ruler, not a denial.

"We devote our faith from our hearts only to the White God, the only absolute Creator in the world. Mia the Demon King is the most abominable enemy of God who once banished us from Pandora."

"The White God... is the one who calls it the Crusade..."

"Yes, they are the descendants of those who fled from the hands of the demon king to the new heavens and the earth in ancient times. And we stayed in the land, and one day we went on lurking to regain our faith, our descendants."

"Stupid, have you believed in such a pagan god since ancient times? In this pandora, full of the blessings of the black gods."

"The White God never abandoned us. I've been given protection. With that power, we've been lurking forever. When the time comes, get up right away."

It's hard for Russia to believe.

But in reality, without any sign or motive, all of a sudden, seven of our masters proclaimed a grand rebellion.

From Miriam's point of view, they could never say that they were good friends.

The twelve aristocracy are companions of the kingdom, but also rivals of great power. Since the founding of Avalon, each of the twelve nobles has fought for power so that no family can stand out.

Even in the age of Myriad, there will always be a conflict of opinion when the twelve nobles meet. Never have the seven of them carried things together.

But was it just an act?

Competing but deceased stability. There's no going anywhere, there's no going anywhere.

You kept your character and strength as a twelve noblemen... until this time of betrayal, did you keep aiming for the tiger? Those who became the ancestors of Avalon's founding kingdom, and were therefore entrusted with the representative status of the twelve nobles, were set to betray the future far from their first generation.

Such magnificent overthrow plans are not very believable.

"Why... why Nero?"

"Fu, Millard, I don't care more about my son than I do. I didn't hate that sweet part."

"Answer me, Heineken! What are you going to do with the rest of my son?

Regardless of whether he believes it or not, Heine resents the blood of Demon King Mia. Because he is a great sinner who disobeyed his God.

Then what happens to Nero, who draws his own blood?

Why do you tell Nero to give up his throne?

It is only natural to kill Nero, kill Nell, eradicate all those who will be Kings of Elrod, and think that they will take the throne.

"I have no doubt. Prince Nero deserves to be our king."

"Does Nero communicate with you? Since when?"

"It's not us, it's God."

"What...?"

"While drawing the blood of the abominable demon king, His Highness Nero was forgiven. Yes, I was forgiven! By the generous mercy of the white gods, he was welcomed into the Cross religion. Holy, as an apostle."

His expression and gesture, which was so touching, fell back on the spot again. Against the true next-generation king to be served.

Soon after wondering what the hell was going on, Miriam ran cold on her spine.

"Ah, what's wrong with me...."

An incredible sign of magic. Even Millard's dull sixth sense is so dense that she feels tingling on her skin.

This kind of overwhelming presence that instinctively makes you feel the danger of life has been a long time since you were attacked by high-ranking monsters who happened to appear in student exercises.

At that time, Leon Hart was by his side as his best friend.

But now... where is this pathetic, deceiving ally named King Avalon?

I'm going to die. The next moment you realize that, the Throne Room will open.

"Nero... Nero, is that you..."

I couldn't immediately believe that the man who showed up, Miriam, was my own son to love.

That is not because red eyes and black hair were never replaced by blue and silver, just like the appearance of demon king Mia.

There is no mistake in seeing Nero in a slightly different color.

However, what is hard to believe is the silver aura that surrounds it.

"Oh, Dad. I'm Nero. Do you understand?"

"What... what the hell happened to you! That white shine and power is not yours!!

Nero is strong. He's a genius. Unlike himself, he has the courage to fly like that Leonhart.

I was glad because I didn't have the talent. You don't have to feel the same way about your son.

However, the silver aura that shines in front of us now only seems to reveal power beyond the limits of man.

It must be a far higher level that Nero, as a swordsman or a sorcerer, would never reach, even if he devoted his whole life to learning - yes, the power in the realm of God.

Miriam understood at first glance whether it was because of human instinct or because of the Devil's blood.

"It's a simple story. I was given protection. From the White God."

Among them, Nero said, is an "apostle" who is given special and powerful protection.

And the thirteenth apostle Nero.

"Stupid, no matter how much protection you've been given... you can't be forgiven by people."

"Fu, who says I won't forgive you? Is that your father, the black gods? This power is mine now. I will not let anyone deny it. Face your teeth and crush them."

It's like a slum gang.

I don't think he's a prince who carries a historic kingdom called Avalon.

The parent's unexpectedly cold eyes, if need be, will not hesitate to stick a blade in Miriad.

"Ah, Nero... what a fool..."

Until I realized it, I couldn't get it back.

The betrayal of twelve nobles, which was determined by the founding of the kingdom.

And Nero turned into an apostle of the white gods who avenged the black gods.

Everything was going on where I didn't know what I was giving and where I had no power at all.

The King of the glorious Avalon, heir to the Elrod Empire... I have never felt so powerless.

Father, get out of there.

"Sit here and do what?"

"I will be king. It's not just a king... it's the Holy King who gave me the Holy Power of the White God."

Behind the Lord of the Seven Kneeling Houses, Nero walked invincibly to the throne.

Unpowered Millard will experience burning pain just by touching the aura from Nero.

Miriam didn't scream a word, even though she saw the terrible power running in front of her eyes. As if it were the last cowardice, as king, as father.

Just promise me one thing, Nero.

"What is it?"

"Just don't touch Nell. I don't know, the only thing that keeps her safe is..."

"Of course, Nell is my dear sister. I won't let anyone hurt him. I'll protect you. With this most powerful force."

Then Millard stood up from the throne, saying nothing more.

Put the shiny crown on your completely thin head.

"Laurent, take my father."

"--Ha, as you say, Your Majesty the Holy King Nero."

Soon, a knight in magnificent silver armor appeared nearby.

Roland Exia.

He was the eldest son of Exia, one of Avalon's leading knights, and was bought with his arms and loyalty to escort Nero as a child.

As Nero entered Imperial School, he resigned as an escort and joined the Knights of the Guards. He was transferred to Dragon Heart, the best dragon cavalry in the Avalon army, which showed overwhelming strength and became more operational.

Driving a white dragon, he continued to raise his martial arts in an instant and was promoted to captain at the youngest age in history.

He is now known as the mightiest knight in Avalon.

"Laurent, I didn't expect you to join me anymore...."

"Your Majesty, please come this way. Your safety is guaranteed."

Knowing that even the mightiest knight he trusted had betrayed him, Miriam dropped his shoulders and left the throne room without strength.

"Your Majesty Nero, how did you treat your ancestor, Miriad?"

"It was the king who got in my way. If you're no longer king, you're just a father to me. I won't let you, Heineken."

"Just like I said. Me and Myriad are old friends. In the future, I would like you to hide quietly while watching His Majesty Nero's activities."

"My father doesn't have any power. Don't do anything extra. Leave him alone now."

I forced him to give up his throne by imitating a rebellion, but Nero and his father didn't hate Miriad. As a family, he is one of those who want to protect him.

Therefore, after leaving the throne, there is no problem if you are confined to a villa in the Asbel Mountains and live away from the world.

"Now my father is gone. From today, I am king of Avalon."

Nero sat on the throne.

Put the abandoned crown on your head.

You don't need a coronation. For they do it, because they are the priests of the Temple of Pandora, the black gods.

I don't want the black gods anymore.

From now on, all Pandora will be restored to the hands of the White God.

"Avalon, known as the successor to the evil demon king's empire, will disappear today. And reborn. To the Holy Kingdom, blessed by the White God."

Nero sat on the throne and first proclaimed his country.

Put an end to hundreds of years of Avalon's history and transform it into the kingdom of God that it governs.

"I hereby proclaim the kingdom of Neo Avalon in the name of His Holiness King Nero, the Thirteenth Apostle."

And three days later it was the fourth day of the month of the ice crystal.

When First Prince Nero succeeded to the throne and the proclamation of the establishment of a new kingdom was largely spread throughout Avalon.

The report was brought to Nero, who was busy as a new king, in order to advance the unification of the country with the cooperation of the twelve nobles who were hereafter a cross.

"--Dad ran away?

"I'm sorry too....."

"What do you mean?"

The knight who made the report trembles in front of Nero, who quietly emits an aura.

He already knows that Nero has great power to erase himself instantly if he is concerned.

The knight conveyed the details while sweating coldly.

"During the transfer to the royal villa in the Asbel Mountains, part of the convoy suddenly rebelled... with His Majesty King Millard and disappeared without him."

"The guards are breaking away... hey, is Cellis safe?"

Millard, who has already left the throne, is not worthy of alarm. But as a father, I want to ensure his safety to the fullest.

That's why I asked Celis.

She is one of the trusted childhood acquaintances and, above all, the eldest daughter of the Arc Wright family. Conversion to the Cross has been completed.

"Yes, it was... the Guard Captain Cellis who led the rebellion."

"Stupid, Celis betrayed me!

"According to the testimony of the survivors, he was using the protection of the Tengen Ryu Gramheid."

There was no conversion.

The fact that we still use the protection of the black gods is above all proof.

Celis betrayed me.

No, it's not. I didn't betray you from the beginning.

"Haha, did my father feel this way too..."

Betrayed by those who believed. But he says he didn't betray me.

Reasonable language play. But it was a big, heartbreaking thing.

"Find it now. And bring my father and Cellis before me."

"Haha! As His Holiness said!!
