"What are you going to do, chase him?"
I say, Vargis shakes his head.
"Running away means that you are aware of the weight of the load in this role.It also shows that there is no lust for power or money.Mae is more and more worthy of a king. "
"But if onee-sama suddenly told me, I'd be confused."
"Persevere and you'll understand."
That said, Vargis continues to eat flat.I'm a little worried, but I keep eating while saying, "Yes, that's right, if it's onee-sama..."
"My concubine only wants to have an equal relationship with the Kingdom of Tesperk.If my concubine or Hagis persuades me poorly, I may be in a diplomatic hurdle in the future, so will you persuade me as much as possible? Alisa and Natori "
"Uh-huh. Okay."
I feel like I've been pushed into a kind of troublesome job.
◆ ◆ ◆
Sophie says that Mae has leadership that is not political, and that politics is enough to compensate with a sodium of ministers to guide the people well.He is not a native minister of the Kingdom of Harmony, but a human being and worthy of a king.
"What do you want, Natori?"
As I walk through the hallway after breakfast, I ask Natori.
Unlike in the case of Demon King Castle, we are temporarily given private rooms in the Castle of Ka 'Bassa.Me and Nat stop in front of May's private room door and twist their necks.
"Thanks, Lunch or Dinner, May has to sit in that seat.You just have to make a fait accompli. "
"That's great, because I don't think onee-sama had enough breakfast, so lunch should come."
When we were talking like that, the door opened so vigorously that May, who was dressed roughly in Yuki's clothes and had a bag, left the room.
"What, Alisa?"
Ah, onee-sama, are you going out?
"Yes, it is. Dinner."
"Wait, onee-sama, can't you eat the castle food?"
I don't want to sit in that chair for the rest of my life.
That's how Mae turned her face and walked down the hallway.
"... it looks tough."
That's right.
Drop your shoulders and talk to Nat like that.
◆ ◆ ◆
After lunch, Natori and I will go to May's room again.
You're going to persuade me again, aren't you?
To May, who snorts her nose and sits on the chair, Sori and I will lower our hips and ask her to stay low.
"Please, onee-sama. The king only serves onee-sama."
"There are no other good people.May is sure to make a good country.I'm going to help Natori. "
Mae sighs and puts her cheek wand on her desk.
"I'm sorry, but will you come home? I'm in the way of reading."
"Oh no, onee-sama..."
I'll beat you up.
Uuuu...
I can't help it, so I'm pulling back.
◆ ◆ ◆
It's time to finish dinner without May and take a bath.
Me and Natori, and Radhika and Hagis together undressed and entered the bathroom, and Mae was already in the hot tub.
"Onee-sama"
I call, but May says, "Hmm!"and turn sideways. Me and Natori rush over to the hot tub to ask.
"Onee-sama, why don't you like being king?"
"You know that. I'm not capable of a power struggle.There's a risk of civil unrest, there's a risk of being killed by diplomats, and powerful people are always in danger. "
"It comes with a proper escort..."
"No, it's better to live in peace than to live in fear."
That's what Mae said, and she stood up vigorously from the bathtub and left.
"What should I do?"
When I see a door that can be closed with momentum, both I and Natori are confused.
"Because I'm a saint, I can't stay with you forever, and because I have Sophie, you will have a guardian who is skillful and loyal, but I'm troubled if you still hate me."
"I am consulting with the Demon King."
As we were discussing it, Hagis stumbled out.
We're not gonna talk about it.
"Eh, Hagis? No, Mao-chan's stopping you."
"It's okay if it's just a little bit.Don't tell your sister. "
Hmm... what do you do, Natori-chan?
When I turn to Natori, Natori nods silently.
◆ ◆ ◆
It's bedtime.
May turns off the lights in the room and looks out at the night sky outside the window from her bed.The moon shines on May's face.
At that time, there is a knock on the door.
"Alisa, you're not Alisa. Who? Come in."
"Don't play dumb."
It was Hagis who came in a little bit.Hagis comes to May's bed and sits down.
"What, convince Hagis?"
"I want to talk to you as a friend of the same royal family."
Having said that, Hagis smiles and Mae sighs.
"I hate royalty."
Well then, I want you to listen to me as a friend's bullshit.
"Go on."
May is magical and turns the room back on.The entire room is not lit, so the area around the bed is only slightly brighter.The moon light that plunged into May's face disappeared, but Mei and Hagis gathered in the light and sat in bed to start talking.
"We were born royalty and were raised in a position that might eventually succeed to the throne.I liked playing, but I didn't like being told to study since I was a kid.So I asked you why you study.I didn't like being told that it was necessary for the future of the country or that it was necessary for tens of millions of people.I wasn't born to be a demon king, but I felt I was being pushed by a demon king I didn't want to be.I wanted to live more freely.But one time, my tutor told me.Ruling tens of millions of people is often hard and painful, but it's the most rewarding job in the country. "
"Rewarding"
"That's right. The job of selling things is to please only the people who bought them and the people around them, the restaurant management is to please only the people who ate the food, the novelist is to please only the people who bought the books and read them, but the king, hopefully, will please the people in the country.I was told that being able to rule over the whole country was a very happy thing. "
"... but there's also a risk."
"Of course there are risks. But you have to believe in success in order to do your job."
May sighs one more time.And ask Hagis.
"Could you tell me a little more?"
"I see."
◆ ◆ ◆
The next morning, Natori and I meet in front of May's room door.
"Ah, Natori, good morning."
"Good morning."
Do you care about Natori, too?
"Is it Tesperk that bothers you?"
Neither I nor Natori were listening to the door.
The door is open and it hits our ears. It hurts.
Oh, there were two of you?
Next to May, who is dressed, is Hagis, who rubs his eyes and looks asleep.
Good morning, Onee-sama.
"Are you here to persuade me again?"
"No, I don't know..."
"Yes, persuade me," Mae says astonished.
It's breakfast time. Let's go.
"Yes, yes."
Mae starts walking as soon as she finishes.We'll follow May.
