Middle-aged Adventurer Kein’s Good Deed

129. Crown Prince Sagging

Northern part of the Dragonian Empire, the magnificent and robust imperial capital of Canisburg.

Prince Siegfried, who is also the presidential commander of the Imperial Army, was sitting on the throne of the commanding house given to him to listen to the report of the decree.

"Your Royal Highness, as you should have done, I let the Flamberge Mercenaries attack the kingdom of Kane, but the operation failed"

It's a murder report.

Pickle and although one eyebrow moved for just a moment, Siegfried doesn't move to this extent.

The crown prince cannot show the soldier what upsets him to this extent.

Anyway, I'm getting reports that the Kingdom of Kane and I also have Sword Princess Anastrea.

I understood that even if I let him attack for a gap without a sword princess, he couldn't crush it when it came to the mercenary regiment.

Failure is inevitable.

Kane, that would be enough if you could kill those guys and cut your strength.

"Right. So, how hard did it hit the enemy? Of course, you must have done quite a bit of damage."

"The damage is caused by the…"

"What, say it quickly" again to the decree crushing like you can't say anything.

The decree, which is cold sweating, said as he had decided.

"The damage to our enemies seems to be nil!

Siegfried glanced at him and nodded at his face.

My arms, with my hands together, are shaking in small pieces.

"... did I say none now? Isn't that the rest of the mishearing?

"That's not all, the captured Flamberge mercenary regiment, on the contrary, is employed by the enemy to provide security for the Kingdom of Kane, hi!

Siegfried trembling in anger, he grabbed the neck of the conductor as he rose from the throne.

"You! You said you didn't do anything and you betrayed the rest of the Empire!

"Also, I'm sorry. Such a report, Your Highness. Forgive me!

Holst Gustark, a white-haired old general near his side, smeared Siegfried trying to hang his conductor.

"Young man, there is no sin in the Herald."

Siegfried, stopped by Holst, who serves as Fu (Moriyaku) since he was a young boy, but takes his hands off the preaching order.

Seeing Holst gaze at him, he bowed his head and hurriedly dispersed.

"Shit! I still can't guess a mercenary or anything. You should have used the Dragon Knights!

"Young, if you use the Dragon Knights, it's like you're saying it's the work of the Empire. Aren't you saying that even letting a mercenary regiment dressed as a burglar attack is too dangerous an operation? If you're going to turn Dwarf's country against your enemies, you're not going to win a battle you can win."

A small country made by D-rank adventurer Kane is said to be home to many beasts and dwarves.

The beasts, etc. who are almost subordinate to the Kingdom of Austria, don't even get into the numbers of things, but turning the Dwarves that produce high-performance weapons against their enemies can cause a lot of damage to the barracks (navels).

I can't escape saying that a mercenary regiment is still something you don't know about depositing, but if you move the Dragon Knights and attack the Dwarves, they will turn the Dwarves underground kingdom completely against their enemies.

"I know that, even if Grandpa doesn't tell me!

"Then why… what are you in a hurry to come"

Your Highness has not been here lately.

It was a genius named Siegfried who was chosen by the Crown Prince after being awarded a divine sword and divine armor (temper) by Taywaz, a military god who showed superior strength inside and outside of his childhood and presided over bravery.

That's the last six months, where all the naive and acute behavior has stood out.

Now it is more brave than brave.

Old Admiral Holst wanted Siegfried to be a tattooed youngster (wanting to be an asshole) before the current impending war on the kingdom.

But the Crown Prince, raised by Holst as Fu (Moriyaku), had a self-inflicted grin that was frightening with his dark face on.

"... also in a hurry. The sword princess Anastrea admired the man and ran to the kingdom of Kane."

"Young man, don't worry, the Royal Austrian promises to let the sword princess in."

"The promise of the kingdom and all that! I don't know more about that whimsical sword princess idea. Anyway, I can't leave that guy named Kane like this. If you can't do it with a mercenary regiment, you have to crush it with the rest of your hands..."

Holst has no idea why Siegfried is obsessed with such a mediocre man.

"I asked my men to look into it in detail, and they said that the adventurer Kane is only a D-rank adventurer, on the other hand, of his reputation for being given a divine sword and being a good man, etc. The young crown prince of the Dragonian Empire is not the most powerful dragon knight."

If you don't have the strength in person, you can watch the security gap and order an assassination.

Where is it necessary for Siegfried, the crown prince of a great power, to lay down his own hands?

"That's why you can't throw it away! Why should I be frightened of such a man? Anyway, why is it strange that Kane, the D-rank adventurer, has been chosen by the military god and given a divine sword just as much as the rest? You can no longer forgive me!

"Young man, where are you going!

Horst, an old general nearby, calls to a halt, but without even hearing the halt, Siegfried left the command house and drove his own flying dragon (Wyburn) to Mount Dragon in the north.

In the first place, the Imperial Capital, Kanisburg, was a castle (jikaku) city built as the home of the Dragon Knights to protect humanity from Mount Dragon, a nest of evil dragons.

Six months ago, Evil Dragon King (Demon Dragon Road), who had reigned in the Evil Dragon Cave, has been defeated by the Sword Princess, and the number of Evil Dragons has been decreasing and becoming peaceful.

All the evil dragons (demon dragons) of Mount Dragon that were rampaging around have grown dear for a long time.

There is also a circumstance that it has become better not to have to think about fighting monsters gushing out of Mount Dragon because of the extravagance that has emerged in the Empire.

Siegfried arrives at the entrance to the Cave of the Evil Dragon, sealed by the Virgin Sephilia.

"Yes!"

Along with the mood of tearing, he waved the sword of divine sword blue gold (Balmunk) to break the sealed holy chain (blame).

"Become, what do you do!

In a hurry, Holst trying to stop.

"Get out of the way! If you want to stand in my way, I'll kill you with my grandfather..."

"Your Highness, what the hell has happened! That won't be all!

It was the mission of the Dragonian Empire, which took over from its ancestors, to drive good dragons and hunt evil dragons to protect humanity.

It is not an act that the Crown Prince of that country can face his great ancestors, such as unsealing the cave of evil dragons.

Holst stood ready to kill himself as soon as he could get through here.

"Nearly another year ago..."

"Your Highness?"

"Didn't Grandpa hear what my father said to me when I lost to Princess Sword Anastrea?"

"What did His Majesty say?"

"I didn't want to lose to the princess of the kingdom or anything else until I took up the sword and said it was obsolete."

"Oh my..."

"I felt sorry for my father for the rest of it. He asked me to forgive him for welcoming Anastrea to his wife. I'm sorry I'm such a man when my grandfather puts his hopes up."

Holst felt like he had been hit in the chest by the look of Siegfried mocking himself so.

Though the code of the Dragonian royal family, which weighs purely only on power, I feel pity (fuzzy) for Siegfried, who has no choice but to continue to show strength in order to be recognized by his real father.

That's why showing sympathy can only be an insult to the Dragonian royal family seeking power.

Holst says with all his might.

"No matter what anyone says, Your Highness is the most powerful man in the empire!

"Exactly! So don't let that man beat you!

Siegfried runs into the cave trying to poke Holst.

"Your Highness, wait! That's all, that's all!

Horst chasing him right away.

I have nothing but anxiety about what the hell you're going to do by unsealing the Evil Dragon Cave.

But without catching up on the legs of the old Horst, when he reached the back of the cave, Siegfried nearly unsealed it until the end, when it was placed between the evil dragon kings (Demon Dragon Road).

"Huffle..."

Siegfried is laughing invincibly.

"Your Highness..."

Behind a dimly lit cave lit by magical lights, Siegfried was nearly wearing a disastrous neckline on his own neck.

It's called the Evil Dragon (Demon Dragon) necklace. It's a cursed item.

"Grandpa, you know what? They say if you wear this, you can manipulate all the evil dragons in Mount Dragon as you wish. Thus, the Evil Dragon King (Demon Dragon Road) fought each other with the Empire for a long time. Are there many other items that might be useful?"

"Your Highness, you mustn't! If you do that, you'll be cursed by the Evil God!

Siegfried wears the disastrous decorations left by the Evil Dragon King (Demon Dragon Road).

They're all sealed items because they're all dangerous.

"A curse? If that gives you strength, you just want it. If it's to gain strength, I'll do whatever is left. Now it's time for you to show your father that the rest is the strongest!

Siegfried, wearing his cursed ornament, returns to the entrance to the cave.

Holst could only chase that spectacular figure.

So, back to the entrance to the cave, Holst said to the dreaded sight, "Ha!," he breathed.

The evil dragons (Demon Dragons), who were supposed to disappear somewhere, were swarming in massive swarms as they raised a creepy roar (like this) waiting for Siegfried.

If this enters the Empire as it is, the country will perish.

"Grandpa, don't worry. These evil dragons are completely under the rest of their rule."

"Your Highness, do such horrible things..."

Siegfried laughs as if he was fascinated by something.

The laughter makes Horst weep, reminiscent of His Royal Highness's annoying laughter.

"Ha-ha-ha, look, Grandpa! There are many Great Evil Dragons (Greater Demon Dragons) among the countless Evil Dragons. The rest won the bet, retaining the protection of the gods, but also gaining the power of the evil dragon. With all this fighting power, I don't even need the Dragon Knights anymore. The rest has finally gained its strongest strength!

The figure of Siegfried, dressed in a disastrous decoration and flirting with a shellfish purple cape, no longer even looked more like a demon king than a shining crown prince.

At that time, as Siegfried called for, a grunting roar (howl) rose for a time.

"That's Wang Evil Dragon (Arc Demon Dragon)!

Wang Evil Dragon (Arch Demon Dragon), who tells us he was about to destroy the Empire two hundred years ago, has been revived.

"Ha-ha-ha, Grandpa, joy! In response to the remaining calls of the rulers of the Empire, a ruler of the Evil Dragon (Ark) was born. With Koitzla, it's easy to crush Kane the Good without finding out what the Empire did!

How much of a curse will I ever get after doing so much?

Trembling Horst knelt down on the spot and held hands together.

"My great military god Taywaz. I don't care what happens to us. Please, protect Your Highness from the curse of the Evil God..."

The only salvation was that the divine power of the military god Taywaz was still protecting Siegfried.

Holst simply had to pray to God for the safety of his beloved Crown Prince.
