Episode 187: The Scatter of Loyalty

* Millie Perspective

I gathered the dreamdemon organizers and the Dorman family garden attendants who were deploying to the Wang capital at the same time as I ran back to the outhouse with Miliel. Kent didn't say anything, but it seems he was quite upset and anxious that his father-in-law was captured.

I was also anxious for the status quo because I never thought my father-in-law would be captured.

"It's important that you join me."

The old gentleman who showed up in the room was Sebastian, the garden warden of the Dorman family.

"Yeah, it's an emergency. You know better."

"Well, you are. I should have flushed the alarm beforehand... but Master Arborest was optimistic, and I didn't expect to see the enemy lightly until Master Mirialia..."

"My ear hurts... I can't these days... I feel less than mediocre as head of an intelligence organization..."

"Still, since you're young, I'll just have to say that you're used to the finesse of the intelligence world."

Sebastian answered with a smile on his face. He boasted a long experience as the garden warden of the Dorman family, the kingdom's best intelligence organization, and supported my awkward organization operations from the shadows as a young man.

"That would help. I'll put a burden on you, but thank you."

"Yes, I know."

Meanwhile, the Dreamdemon Assassins were also heard that since Yuri was declared to have left, the Sacubas who had been in hiding had moved to the Real Devil's Kingdom. In addition, intelligence networks around the country were experiencing considerable disobedience as a result of Yuri-like's departure, and had become a suspicious or useless organization.

As things stand, only the intelligence networks built in the south and in Wang Du were operating normally, and chaos was spreading in other parts of the country.

The Dream Devil's Assassins can't move like they've done before...

I felt darkened when I was shown the status quo of the Dream Demon Clan, but there was a further cause for trouble in front of me.

"Miliel. I'm sorry, but why do you have the daughters of" Star Wars Maiden "Astral Valkyria at Lina's? They must be hunting demons in Estfort!!

"Uh..."

Miliel mumbled out of sight.

"Migliaria. Let me explain that to you."

A demonic woman came out of the back of Elicias and the others. She was Ecclair, the lady husband of the tavern where Elicias and the others were kept.

"Mr. Eckler... why are you here!

"Oh, isn't this... 'Eclair of the Iron Fist'... because the store would be nice?

Sebastian also seemed familiar with Eclair and looked nostalgic.

"It's okay. Because I leave it to my daughter. And Sebastian looks fine. I've taken care of the Dorman family many times, so say hello to Cuffiro. Lina's been trying to make things easier for me."

Ecclair answers Sebastian with his hands up gently.

"Whatever! Why are you taking the daughters of the Star Wars Maiden Astral Valkyria to King's Capital?"

"... well, it's like a vacation. They were tired of hunting only. We all came to Wangdu without breath. But the main reason I called in Atashi said that Arborest was important."

Eclair was popping red in the face. Her mother told me that she had always liked her father-in-law, and even when she was in Avisvena, she used to take care of each other a lot.

My father-in-law has also been busy since he went up to Wang Capital, and it was thought that he had recently contacted her.

And the important thing is, is my father-in-law going to remarry... well, I'm not particularly dissapointed if she's going to be my mother-in-law.

"So did you meet my stepfather?

"... that fool was taken into custody by the Ponko nobles before he met Atashi. Impossible."

The building shivered billibly as she stepped on her feet. Eclair was famous as a fist hunter when he was an active demon hunter, a woman who was an amazing demon hunter with various aliases such as "Eclair of the Iron Fist" and "The Killing Angel" that Sebastian had just said.

"So... he wants to take Elicias and the others to a rescue mission?

"Yes, the safety of these daughters will be secured by Atashi. My dear daughters. Besides, Atashi was his secretary when Arborest was guarding the Royal Castle, so he knows a lot of ways out. Can you count on the rescue of the Arborests?

I used to hear that my father-in-law was in charge of Royal Castle security, but I never thought I'd know the way out.

"That helps… we don't even have information on the way out of Royal Castle on the boulder… now that our enemies are thin, they'll be able to break in easily."

"Can Elicias and the others do it?

Elicias has a face of tension, but there was a strong will in his eyes.

"I can do it! We want to thank you for your help, Mr. Eckler! Safely rescue Master Arborest."

As the leader of Lina's funded Star Wars Maiden, AstralValkyria, I was pleased with her growth as head of the demon hunt around young Sacubas. However, since they have little experience in the world of intelligence where dreamers specialize, a little anxiety remained to entrust rescue to their father-in-law.

As far as hunting demons was concerned, they had already grown into a famous hunting group in the south, but only daughters who fought flashy and unsuitable for the delicate battles needed for intelligence warfare.

Well, but even in the worst of battles, you wouldn't die early if Mr. Eckler were with you. She'll be tough too...

"... you have no choice. You can't fail. The Yang Dynasty team will be contracted by my Shadow Guard and Sebastians, so you're the rescue team."

"Ha! I will never fail you!

Elicias affirmed her success in a clear tone. In my place and due to my tenacity with Master Yuri, the Dreamdemons lost their cohesion, and I felt a glimmer of light plugged into me once worried about the status quo in which the name of the Dreamdemons' Assassins, once used as synonyms for fear, had also fallen into the earth.

Elicias and the others are not personally suited to the intelligence field at all, but they have gained and expanded a variety of connections due to the sociability that the younger Thacubas in the house have never had before. Such were they expelled by Yuri as heretics with treatment equal to banishment from the inside.

But I was convinced that their personality was what the future Dreamdemons needed.

"Okay. Then don't go anytime soon! Mr. Eckler, I'd like Elicias and the others, please. Launch this if you succeed in rescuing me."

I hand over a luminescent bullet towards Eclair.

"Copy that! I'll launch it when the rescue succeeds. Come on, Ellis and the others are coming."

Eckler, who received the luminescent projectiles, blamed Elysias and the others for jumping out early enough.

"... it's kind of embarrassing... I've heard that this coup involves Suaven, so don't be alarmed, Miriam."

Sebastian, who follows Ecclair with his gaze as he flies out, talks to him.

"I know. I'm pretty blunt, too, so I'm going to try to get my exercise ragged. Yang Dynasty should be done inside the Royal Castle, okay?

"Right. Shall we try to attract the eyes of our enemies as flashly as possible? I've been in the intelligence field for a long time, but I don't hate to get busted... do you want to go flashy?"

"The Dorman family garden number is in the east section of the Royal Castle, and me and the shadow escort will do two yang moves in the west section. That would inevitably reduce Mr. Eckler's threat to the infiltrators."

"That's a good idea... then I'll be on my way."

Sebastian disappeared without a sound along with his subordination.

"I'm out, too. Everybody's ready. Miliel, tell Kent to stay out of the fight until the flares come up."

Copy that, sir.

With Miliel's reply, the shadow escorts responded with a voice that went quietly but often.

When I could follow the shadow escort, I flew out of the palace, refused signs and successfully infiltrated the Imperial Castle. The coup army had given priority to the control of the royal castle, and had still infiltrated the royal castle without being blamed for only placing surveillance troops at the gates of each hierarchy.

Looking at the state of the royal castle, there has already been no resistant resistance, and the royal castle appears to have been placed under the influence of the coup army.

I decided to first broil out Suven's men, who I believe are in the Royal Castle, along with his men who disappeared in cover-up magic. A good reconnaissance saw a soldier walking around the royal castle with no signs among the soldiers running around.

You can't just walk away from a soldier. That should be seen as his subordination, which was planted by Souven.

I sent an image telling a man to target for a shadow escort I had refrained from nearby. This is a magic called "Spiritual Sensitivity (Telepath)", which can only be used by Dreamdemons, who can communicate silently with fellow Dreamdemons in the nearby field who performed a pre-sensitization link.

Instruct him to strike to such an extent that he does not kill the soldier who walks by erasing the signs. The shadow escorts answer the instructions given in "Psychological Sensitivity (Telepath)" and throw a knife at the soldiers they target. The soldiers are wounded by an inadvertently thrown knife.

Psst!! Psst!! Peeeeeee!!

The attacked soldier sounds the siren and gathers his allies. As expected, the soldiers who were erasing the signs were the spies sent in by Suven. And the soldiers will be gathered in no time.

That's a quick move... but it's just fine because it's a positive move. We need to make sure that Suaven doesn't get suspicious.

The number of soldiers gathered in the western section of the royal castle had already reached nearly fifty. I stopped to say no to the signs and told the shadow escorts to start fighting with the soldiers who had gathered here. As time went by, I could hear the sound of a tall siren from the other side of the royal castle.

I'm sure the Sebastians are starting to rumble. I pray that Elicias and the others will complete their mission, while I concentrate on pushing the soldiers who approach me one after the other into incapacity for combat.

* SUVEN perspective

As Gilbert and I were discussing the future within the royal castle, the sound of a high whistle rang. This sound was that of the siren I had entrusted to my subordinate. Stand up immediately and check the direction of the whistle sound.

From east to west... would you have had enough mobilisation capability to raid Miss Migliaria's organization on both sides...

Lord Souven, what is it?

Gilbert looked surprised by the sudden sound of the whistle.

"It looks like someone broke into the royal castle. Perhaps Miriam has broken into my father-in-law's retrieval."

"Chi, it's a dream demon black dagger! Trouble! You'll let them chase you around! My soldiers have never hunted for intelligence."

I answered Gilbert with an extra look because I had assumed the Miriah invasion beforehand.

"I'll take care of it. This time we have a drill for battle, so you won't be safe with Miriam Aria, the Black Dagger of the Dream Demon. I'll have him captured in a minute."

I'll leave you to Lord Souven.

That's when the door to the room opened rampantly. It was an officer who came in to negotiate with Gilbert's wife, Marietta, to Kent Blackdagger.

"Master Gilbert! Kent Blackdagger has made it clear that he will crusade us as traitors! Moreover, we stayed in Sir Black Dagger's camp as far as Norkin, the chief of the Emirate of Garuda! Right now, we're marching towards our army! Earlier I told General Leticia that it would consolidate his defenses to protect the fourth tier!

The officer's man is curling up like excited and talking fast.

"Wait! What happened to Marietta? Why are you the only one back?

"Master Marietta has been detained by Norkin and handed over to Lord Black Dagger. I am liberated by Norkin... Ugh."

Gilbert truncated the officer's man with the sword he was laying on his hips.

"You traitor! They're taking Marietta from me! My advanced rush didn't ruin it!

Gilbert was dyeing his face to the vermilion in anger. I could deduce that what exposes anger to an officer's man is essentially what he has fear of Kent. It seems that Gilbert's impatience is due to the fact that if Sir Black Dagger, one of the most prestigious military forces on the Devil's continent, turns to the enemy, this coup is very likely to thwart.

"Lord Gilbert... we have trouble forgetting that we have hostages. He can't help you if you hold on to his father-in-law, Arborest. Yeah, I can see it. It's surprisingly father-in-law, so I guess we should increase our surveillance of Arborest."

"Okay. Increase surveillance immediately. And then tell Leticia, who will guard the castle gate on the fourth floor. If we don't protect him, there will be no life for Velis."

Gilbert began walking around the room restless.

"I will also come to capture Migliaria. Lord Gilbert, if we get past this, our victory is now."

I exhorted Gilbert, who was going to feel weak. Here, because if Gilbert, the mastermind of the rebellion, stood up, he could have broken the gap and broken the status quo.

"Oh, I know. Lord Souven, get me the Black Dagger of the Dream Demon."

"Roger. Now excuse me."

I rushed off the signs and went outside the royal castle. Small whistle and gather the soldiers under your command. Several subordinates appeared silent.

"What's the situation?

"Ha, there are about ten to twenty intruders, both east and west. The enemies are the Dorman family garden number and the Migliaria organization. We're currently sieging about fifty people, both east and west, but our enemies are getting pretty tough."

Migliaria was also bringing in the elite to break in. I don't know which is the East/West rescue team, but it seems they were both caught by my built line of alert after failing to make a positive move.

"We're heading east for now. Let the west hold on."

"Ha ha."

I decided to head to the East Side with my men.

Upon arrival in the eastern section, a crowd of soldiers jumped into the garden to be rendered incapable of combat. It was the grandeur of a demonic tribe in its fifties with romance grey hair that was generating those soldiers. He is beating my men up with a grinning smile on his face.

Looking closely, his body was subjected to multiple magic of physical strengthening, which seemed to increase considerably in physical strength, arm strength, agility, etc.

"Looks like you finally got your best balls. I missed you. Is it Lord Souven, whom you are Lord Gwayne's katana?

A demonic man speaks with a gentleman's mouth.

"Let's not deny it, but more than that, it's a fall for me to encounter the 'Silver Ash Gentleman', the head of the Dorman family's garden."

The man in front of me was a man who was a symbol of fear in the world behind him. In fact, standing in front of him, I was feeling like sweat blowing out of my body.

Am I scared... there's no way that's happening. I'm also a man who's been walking around the world long enough to dive through a training ground...

Calm your feelings so you don't butt into the ferocious signs of the man in front of you. And when you get rid of the killing and kick the ground, you approach the man you called the silver ash gentleman.

Huh!

Your body is strengthened to plunder the black robe and your arms wrap around the magical light pass by. The attack was so powerful that bones were likely to be shattered if eaten properly. Sebastian smiles at me avoiding a positive fist poke.

Legend may be true that no one has been safe with a gentleman of silver ash...

"Ho, ho, ho. I didn't know they would send this. I'll show you out... so how about this?

Sebastian plays the pebble pinched in his finger forcefully toward me in an attempt to see out my strength avoiding a positive fist poke. He plunders his body with the sound of one, two shots and a pun. By the way, the robe gets filled with holes, but fortunately there was no direct hit.

This man is really the same demon clan... the power of the missile is too great...

Cold sweat flows down my forehead at the difference in strength shown.

"That's not human... you monster"

"I think you're quite a monster, too, avoiding my missiles."

Sebastian, who doesn't break the look of his spare time, smiles but seems to appreciate my prowess in pieces.

It's breaking through like this... we just have to prevent breakthroughs at all costs...

"Lord Sebastian is a bad opponent... so let me use his back moves."

Provoke him to draw Sebastian's attention. And while I was keeping an eye out for this one, I gave instructions to my subordinates and let them attack Sebastian from behind.

"It's sweet!

However, the slaughter of the subordinates is lightly avoided and Sebastian's palm bottom is punched into the empty flank. The man under his command was blown up and fell and lay low on the ground.

"You haven't educated me yet... I can't defeat you with that level of slaughter"

"Come on, you monster."

"Not yet, we're going to be real! [Martial Arts] Huh!

The colorful light that had covered Sebastian's body converged and surrounded him with golden light. And the intimidation I receive from him increases even more.

... I can't believe I didn't activate [Struggle Arts] yet... physical enhancement magic alone. What is that strength... is the opponent I can fight...

"Lost brings death! [Aerial waves clapping] Huh!

The moment Sebastian's hand seemed to be shaken, a mass of air popped up at my body. The moment I thought I saw a chunk, a blunt pain ran like I was hit in the abdomen.

"Whew! Whoa, whoa!

He couldn't avoid Sebastian's unleashed mass of air and was eating it in his abdomen. Fall to the front too much of the pain and poke your knee.

"There's a reason why you can't see the attack..."

"You don't sound like Lord Souven, who was said to be a silent reaper. Were you overestimating this level of attack?

Think of ways to break the current situation while chewing on the flavour of iron rust spreading through your mouth, but the situation was inclined towards the worse.

Chi... I can't prevent it... bad for Gilbert, but this is when we cut it out...

"Defend! Don't allow me to break in! This is our destiny! Come on, give me backup!

Gather Gilbert's soldiers who will throw away pawns to keep their subordinates warm. Soldiers gathered by subordination began to gather one after the other in the eastern section. But none of the Dorman family garden numbers led by Sebastian was able to pick it up. Apparently, they've broken in with talent that is highly capable of intelligence as well as personal combat.

"Ho, ho, ho. Do you really think it's our destiny?

Sebastian has a ferocious grin as he shakes the earth violently with his forcefully stepped foot, eating a positive-fisted thrust that has gained more power with [seismic legs] on the man under his command. The blown up man was a man of finger folding strength even in his subordination, but the difference in strength was further away than adults and children.

"What..."

I thought Miss Miriaglia of the Western Sector was destined for Sebastian's questioning, but given the quality and proficiency, there was no way she could have broken through the guys I left behind to suppress because they seemed to be at the same level as my subordinates.

At that time, a large, brilliant light bullet was about to set in the sky from the north section of the prison where the hostages were being collected. At the same time Sebastian leaks a laugh.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. We won. Looks like those noisy daughters did it for me. It's time for me to pull it off because I've had enough of it."

When Sebastian told him so, he hurried to gather his subordinates and fled outside the walls.

Oh, thank you... but the light bullet earlier...

Not while I was immersed in the relief that helped, a soldier runs into me.

"Lord Souven!! Oh my God!! The prison has been broken! They used the loopholes in the Imperial Castle to sneak in! The three Arborest, Kunelua and Aldo have been recaptured!

"What! Chi! Myriah was also positive! What did Gilbert do?

"Sir Gilbert has asked His Majesty to sign with Sir Velis and his men."

Chi, you're a jerk! This is not the time! There's no stopping Kent from taking back the hostages... let's cut him loose. I wanted to confuse Wangdu a little now, but I had no choice. And the Dorman family's garden number was too strong...

"We're gonna pull our hands on this! Transport the wounded personnel as soon as possible. The rendezvous point is where I told you in advance."

That's all I told my men I was fleeing the royal castle without watching the end of the rebellion.

* Kent Perspective

I was in front of the fourth castle gate with Norkin's army. Merchants and wealthy residents around them had already been asked to leave, and there were deserted houses. However, the end of the war had not yet been opened and the enemy army remained in contact.

Because the Milly-led father-in-law takeover operation was currently in progress, and Miliel had told him that he would know if he was correct or not by sundown, so he had stopped opening the end of the battle.

So now I was in a hurry to gather the officers in the installed tent to discuss future measures.

"... it's time, okay? If we wait like this, we could be crusaded by the Royal Army as traitors."

Norkin, who has been stopped from advancing, is looking grumpy. Since it is a position of mercenary, I will not stand up and violate orders, but my tail is shaking like a dog who ate my deposit.

"Lord Norkin, we have some time before sundown. Please wait a little longer. And I don't think it's going to happen to anyone who turns to the coup because Valid's going around to contain the generals of the Royal Army."

Condorato was communicating a status report to calm Norkin in a hurry.

"By the way, is it true that Leticia is playing fourth level defense? She's Lord Velis' belly, isn't she? Why are you in a coup?

A Fox woman named Alonza, who had refrained next to Norkin in my questioning, gave me the answer.

"My guess is, she is supposedly entrusted with the Castle Gate defense, subject to the appeasement of Sir Vellice's figure. So if the rescue plan succeeds, the fourth tier should fall out easily."

"I knew it... then you should refrain from useless combat. When the rescue operation succeeds, shall we call on her to surrender?"

"I was wondering... if you could break through the fourth level, you would be instructed to proceed without rest to the Royal Castle. Come in with electric control before letting your enemies intercept. My husband, Norkin, will cut the line, so may Lord Black Dagger follow us without delay."

Alonza gives a cool laugh. She is quite a beautiful woman, but I didn't like her because she felt like she had a pathological place, but I decided to agree with her because what she was saying was reasonable.

"Okay. My Condorato is also a good fighter, so that if you get tired, you can take turns whenever you want, you can chase Lord Norkin behind you perfectly."

That's when the soldiers ran into the tent.

"I'll report! A Miriam-like light bullet has been launched over the royal castle! Rescue operations seem to be a success!

I give immediate instructions on the soldier's report.

"Yo! I'll call Leticia to surrender first! If the enemy is upset, Lord Norkin will break through the castle gate! And at once, we push all the way to the royal castle to discuss Gilbert! Those who surrender will only disarm and detain them because they will let the Royal Army do the rest of the hunt later! It's a waste of time now! Let's go."

"You're finally here. Alonza, we're cutting ahead. Let Geronimo have a hammer for the destruction of the castle gate."

"Already ready ready"

Norkin and Alonza react immediately to my instructions and pop out of the tent.

"Lord Kent. I'll be right out, too. When you call for a surrender to Leticia, let the magicians put up a physical barrier to avoid being targeted by a bow before you go. If Lord Kent gets hurt, I'll be strangled by Lord Lyla and Lord Miriam."

"I know. That sermon is coming to me as well as Condorato. I'm not gonna do that."

"Okay. I will now concentrate on the command of the army from this. Lord Kent will join the escorts later."

When Condorato conveyed his fine precautions like a sister-in-law, he left to command the army. I walked out in front of the castle gate with my escort to convince Leticia, too.

When I arrived in front of the castle gate, a voice came down from above the castle wall.

"Sir Black Dagger. Huh! Stay away from me! Get close and I'll attack you! Stay away from me!

Leticia is riding herself out of a wooden shield set up above the castle gate and stopping me. I'll head over to her and tell her Velis' rescue was successful.

"Lord Lawrence! Millie just succeeded in taking back the hostages! No more reason to fight Lord Lawrence! Surrender immediately! Now we can open a petition to His Majesty! Surrender and open the castle gate!

I heard my words. Leticia put a confused look on her face.

"I didn't expect to be told such rumors... Lord Black Dagger is also bad for you..."

"You idiot!!! Listen to me! If you don't listen, you'll truly be the rebel who pulled the bow on His Majesty Shifa! Trust me!

"... ho, is it true... Master Velis is really safe"

"Ahhh! I promise! Open the gates and surrender!

A man appeared from behind Leticia, who had a shivering, lost look at Wana Wana and restrained her.

"Lord Lawrence leads the way to the enemy. Whoa! Everyone, don't let the rumors of your enemies turn you around! Archers! Shoot the Black Dagger kid!

The man gives a shooting order to the archers when he detains Leticia. A bow and arrow came down near me, but as Condorato advised, there was not a single arrow to penetrate thanks to multiple layers of physical barriers.

"Lord Kent, stand down. We'll open it later."

Norkin advances his soldiers toward the castle gate with refreshment. Meanwhile, on the walls of the castle, Letician soldiers and coup armies were converging to extremes of confusion.

"Dear Norkin, I'll take care of it! I'll show you the results of your training!

A Minotaur-bred man dressed in metal armor who was beside Norkin shook up a giant hammer and shook it down against the castle gate. The door of the castle gate, made of wood and iron, is damaged when the sound of a vacuum is heard.

"Let's go again."

When I shook down the hammer again, this time the hole completely opened and the hammer came off and the castle gate began to open.

"Geronimo, you did good. I was shown the results of my training."

The Norkins will easily take over the enemies of the wall that will be confused if they succeed in destroying the castle gate.

"Lord Norkin! Leticia's army, let him surrender! Tell those who are fighting on the walls! Those who surrender, drop your weapons! Anyone with a weapon is considered a coup army. Attack! I'll tell you this once! Drop your weapons and surrender. Those with weapons are all coup armies!

When I found out they broke through the castle gate, the coup army heard my call, and one after the other, they threw down their weapons and started surrendering. Norkin's army takes over one soldier after another who stubbornly didn't stop throwing weapons away. But the battle was settled quickly. Norkin, standing above the castle gate, was stabbing Leticia's restrained man in the face at the tip of the great sword and lifting it high.

... I hear Norkin excels in martial arts, but that's more powerful than rumors... this guy won't be willing to end up with a kingdom or my dog. We need to be careful not to let this guy's fangs turn this way.

I am shown one end of Norkin's martial arts to change my image of him. I myself didn't think personal martial arts would decide the big picture, but I was rethinking that if I could show Norkin's misdigit martial arts, maybe those things could happen too.

Because, in fact, the morale of the Wang Du garrison, which sees the strength of Norkin, is considerably higher.

Eastern Garuda Emirates is a weak country, but not an insult...

I reaffirmed the strength of the Norkins as I dived through the dominated castle gate.

"There you go. Lord Lawrence is sure of this. I'll get my reward on top of that."

Throw over Leticia as Norkin comes down the walls and remains in captivity. I could hold Leticia before she rolled me to the ground.

"I know. I'll keep the increase. Now, I ask you to open your way to the Imperial Castle at once."

"Oh, tell Lord Condorato not to delay!

When Norkin rides the horse again, he gathers the soldiers of the Emirate of Garuda and runs out to the castle gate on the third floor.

"Come on, we're gonna pull out the third tier at once next!

When Norkin ran out, Condorato also led and followed five hundred soldiers to avoid taking lag. All that was left were hundreds of Letician soldiers who surrendered and hundreds of coup troops, and only five hundred of Wang Du garrisons who left them with escorts.

I'll untie Leticia.

"Sir Black Dagger... I'm sorry. I have pulled a bow on His Majesty Shifa. I don't even have a face to let Master Velis see me. I want you to pick it up here first..."

"I can't make that decision. I'm sorry, but we don't have enough soldiers, so take Sir Lawrence with you to the Royal Castle offense. Take back your loss yourself. And then Sir Velis was safely protected by Millie."

Leticia changed her expression to my words and seemed to understand what she should do as a warlord.

"What I did made me sound weak. I'll get my faults back myself! Lord Black Dagger, we will be the first to visit the Imperial Castle."

"Then you should align and rearm your men immediately. Lord Norkin is in a hurry. I don't think you're gonna wait for me, so if we don't hurry, we're gonna lose our chances."

"Ha! Excuse me! I'll do it right away. Can you return the weapon to the soldiers under my flag?

"Oh, cheap."

Leticia quickly rearmed the hundreds under the flag and began to chase after Nokin on her run.

The Norkins proceeded at a great rate, breaking through the castle gates of each tier with momentum like running through a deserted field and successfully entering the royal castle. The coup forces were scattered throughout the royal castle due to the positive movements of the rescue operations carried out by Milly and the others, which did not seem to contain Norkin's advance.

They were torn and detained in various places by the army of Norkin Condorato Leticia who broke into the royal castle.

"He will soon reach the throne where His Majesty is."

A decree from Condorato and the others had come to me, who had set up a line with the soldiers of the escort in front of the royal castle. Leticia had told her that Velis had been freed, but the liberating member Millie had told her had no Velis' name, and he had been taken by Gilbert and found to be between the thrones. When Leticia was told by decree that she was rushing to the throne to advance the army.

"Well... advise Gilbert to surrender. Tell him that if we release His Majesty safely, he will be deported from the country."

Before I said I'd let Leticia and Velis go safely, there's no way they'd take him hostage and kill him. So I decided to show you the whole story.

"Is that really all you're allowed to do? They're traitors."

The officer who came to deliver the order asks back.

"Oh, I just promise (...) I'll forgive you for your expulsion from the Southern Border Berg. Sire Shifa has no choice as to what kind of treatment to take. Oh, please keep this a secret. You'll be in trouble later, and you'll tell Gilbert and the others, as I said, 'If we let His Majesty go, we'll get you out of the country.'"

"... Master Kent is surprisingly awkward..."

"Well, I guess this is also a sign of growth."

"Well, it's troublesome that the master you're serving is too popular, so you should be glad you remembered a little too much."

The commanding officer returned to Condorato and the others with a slight laugh. Now I think Gilbert and the others will surrender with a cut off from the coup. He had stained his skeleton wanting me to give him a break only this time he would be involved in a fight in his body in this coup.

I think I'll go to Brandia's Hot Springs when I get home... oh, I'm stretching out the completion ceremony of the temple, and I haven't inspected the ranch yet, and I think Aurelia's stressed out to the extreme, so I need to dissipate it...

I finished the post-coup early and was thinking about the remaining challenges in my country.

* Gilbert Perspective

"Why! How did you end up like this! Where is Lord Souven?

Everything was off the road with the plan I had devised, and things were on the way to getting worse as they rolled down. When Arbalest and other political opponents who had been locked in jail earlier were recaptured in a raid by someone, Lord Suven, who had previously supported the coup, went missing and could not be contacted.

I gave instructions to consolidate my defense immediately, but the soldiers of the coup army, who were everywhere at once attacked by the Royal Castle, were either picked up or surrendered, like a fire that spread over the plains when the fourth castle gate, which General Leticia guarded, was broken.

But I still had a twitch left. Because I have two trump cards left at my disposal: Sifa Sekundadi, the Demon King, and Belt Velis, the Foreign Minister.

"Master Gilbert! Kent Blackdagger recommended surrender."

"Hey, what's in it?"

"If we release His Majesty Shifa safely, we will forgive him in exile!

The nobles who took part in the coup d 'état, which left few, shrugged. Already the majority of the royal castle was dominated by the King's Capital garrison and we were driven between the thrones.

"... Sir Gilbert... I was wondering if it would be a good idea for us to accept the surrender recommendation and fix a resumption under Lord Gwayne."

A little fat nobleman with a drop of sweat on his forehead calls for a surrender. He was also one of the nobles disenfranchised by the restructuring of Arborest.

"Do you really think Kent will forgive us in exile?

"Kakamien is known to the kingdom as a man who keeps his word. It is said that his son can be expelled from the country. That's all we have left of the coup."

Support for the theory of surrender spreads to endorse the little fat aristocrats.

The arrival of reinforcements is quite a bit ahead of us even if we fight here... is it a precondition that we can live forever...

"Okay... tell him I accept your surrender. However, the condition is that His Majesty's identity be kept until we leave the country."

"Ha!

An officer in the role of messenger runs out to the enemy forces downstairs.

"Sir Gilbert... that's it for you... Kent's here! This time, I was allowed to study the rest of it. In that regard, I must thank Lord Gilbert."

"Damn, the man who was the puppet looks great! Without you and Lord Gwayne, you would have eaten cold meals under the Krausten family. Don't let a man of that magnitude preach to me greatly!

I had already been hunted down and could not afford to even perform my liturgy to His Majesty Shifa.

"Sir Gilbert eh!! I didn't expect you to say such things to His Majesty. Still, it's a kingdom nobleman!

Cifa's trusty Verise bites me against what I say.

"Ugh! Shut up, you old fool!

Kick up Verise's flank sitting to protect him while he's in custody next to Cifa.

"Grr!"

"Sir Gilbert! Kent Blackdagger has accepted our surrender. We also drink these offered terms. However, we would like to join a small group of escorts to confirm the survival of His Majesty Shifa."

The officer who was putting it out to the messenger came back and obtained acceptance of the surrender.

"Fine. There are no more than five escorts."

"Ha! I'll tell him."

And then a messenger came into the throne with five escorts to make sure the negotiations came together to survive. When I saw the ambassador's touch on his face, Kent Blackdagger himself was on board with the dreamer's black dagger Myriah, the Wolf-speed man and the Minotaur breed man, Lord Lawrence.

"Sir Gilbert, I'm sorry, but will you let me face His Majesty?"

"You don't think Lord Blackdagger will come... after they've got my wife Marietta and Sarah in their hands, isn't this terrible?

Kent talks pale without changing his complexion.

"I'm sorry, but all I liked was Marietta and Sarah. I don't know a frightening nobleman like the Browning family."

"They call my house frigid! I've taken care of the eastern part of the house.

"It doesn't matter to me. I just can't let you use women like tools."

There's blood on my head when I hear Kent say it.

"Then you would also be a man made up of parasitic women! What's so different from me!

"I won't deny Sir Gilbert's words. However, let me just say that I have never been treated as a tool. Maybe that's the only thing that makes me and you different."

"Kuh!! The lad who made it is so excited!

Kent smiles when he looks at me furiously. As he rang his fingers with his pussy, the escorts attacked him simultaneously.

"Damn! You're a coward! We surrendered."

"Oh, yeah. So let me restrain you."

"Damn it! I lied to you! cowardly!"

When I detected Kent's betrayal, I rushed over to Sifa, the trump card, and tried to take him hostage. But Veris didn't grab that leg of mine and let me go.

"I will not take His Majesty Shifa hostage. You are done here Sir Gilbert!!!

"Get off me! Shit! Shit!

I put a sword up his back trying to untie Velis' restraint.

"Guuuuuu! I'm not letting you go! Sir Black Dagger! Please, protect His Majesty quickly! Oh, my God, I can't do this anymore!

"Get off me! Get off me!

He sticks his sword up Velis' back many times, but he never loses his hand.

"Dear Vallis!!! Gilbert ah!!! What did you do to me?

Leticia approached me with an angry look as I put my sword up against Velis. Unexpectedly, avoid sharp spikes with the sword that was sticking out at Velis. Looking around, those dressed in black clothes captured the nobles one after the other.

"Don't kill me! I surrender!! Drop your weapon!! Look, I threw it away!!

Afraid of Leticia looking at me with a murderous eye, I threw my sword and clarified my will to surrender.

"Detain Gilbert, the rebel mastermind! And give me the therapist as soon as possible!

He was giving instructions to his subordinates like Kent panicked.

* Kent Perspective

"Lord Black Dagger... thank you for your rescue... this time I will make amends with my death. Therefore, please be generous with regard to Leticia..."

In front of me was Velis, covered in blood, breathing constantly and uttering words.

"Sir Velis... you don't have to talk. The therapist will be arriving soon, so don't talk..."

"No, your consideration is going to be wasted… my life is about to disappear. Therefore, I would like to ask Sir Black Dagger for a favor. One thing I want you to do is to support His Majesty Shifa in the future, and I want you to keep Leticia, my adopted daughter, there as a sideroom... ho."

Don and blood draw away from Verise's face.

"Dear Verise!!! Please don't talk!! Please!!

"My family can't make a successor because of the coming politics that have been fought so many times in the King's capital… so I'm making a will to let Leticia inherit the Verys after I'm gone. But Leticia is now a young man and would like to be sponsored by Sir Black Dagger. Excuse me, but can you hear me as the wish of an old man who's going to die... ho"

Velis was a politician who had been swimming in the political world for a long time, but he had heard that politics was causing him to lose his spouse and successor. He confessed that he was making a will to let Leticia, whom he had reused as his belly heart, inherit the house as his adopted daughter.

"Master Velis! I can't take over the Verise family!

"Leticia... I'm sorry. Seems like the day has come for me to give in after I've worked out more but with the guidance and early. You're smart, you're strong, and you have a strong sense of responsibility, and you're a rare nobleman who knows the lives of the people. I want such a man near His Majesty."

"Dear Vallis..."

"Velis!!! I'm not going to let the rest of you die! Kent, the therapist's not here yet! We're running out of Velis' blood."

"My healing magic can't increase the amount of blood I've lost… please wait!

I speak of [healing light (healing)] to block the wound of Velis, but I could not restore Velis, who has already lost a lot of blood.

"Leticia... please! We need to teach His Majesty Shifa to keep his name in the history books. Aldo is a better nobleman... but he also tore his nobleman's shell... along with Sir Black Dagger there to help his majesty... this is the last wish of the old bones..."

As I watched Leticia cry over the gradual loss of her body temperature, it wasn't surprising to be told that she was his fruitful daughter.

"Dear Verise!!! Hold on!!! Take care!!

Veris grabs my hand in my fading consciousness.

"Sir Black Dagger... please let Leticia and His Majesty Shifa... please... goha!!

When he vomited heavily, Velis drooled his neck as if he had done all he could.

"VERICE!!! The rest is still like a mountain to beg you to teach! Wake up! Wake up!!!

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Sir Velis is dead. The men under your command are watching. Please take care of yourself. I will sit on this death of Sir Velis with my errors of judgment. I can't calm you down because I will spoil such reprimands."

I created a situation of numerical advantage by mobilizing Millie and Sebastians to put an end to the coup all at once, but my sudden behavior led to Verys becoming involved and the death of important people carrying the kingdom.

"Kent... I'm powerless... I couldn't resist this coup. Thanks to you, the rest lost an important loyal minister. Wouldn't there be any other vessel to rule the kingdom? If the kingdom continues to rule the rest, you will lose your loyalty again..."

"Your Majesty... I would like to speak with you in passing. Your Majesty's words now are going to make Lord Verise die a dog. Your Majesty must not be frustrated by this position! If you are such a weak Demon King, you will be returned soon!

Cifa yelled when Leticia, who was crying, stood up. The voice color was as harsh and self-loving a word as Velis had taken over.

"Leticia... what do I do with the rest"

Leticia gave a frigid look like Nobu when she wiped her tears.

"I ask His Majesty Shifa to judge the nobles who participated in this coup. You will judge all relatives of the aristocracy who participated in the coup. Your Majesty will decide on the sentence. Your majesty must have found out about the nobility of this time."

"Will the rest of you judge for yourself... won't Leticia advise you..."

"I can't say anything because I'm on the side of it. We've already committed so many felonies that it's not strange to be executed. Let me therefore be cautious. If the mourning of my father-in-law, Verise, dawns, I will serve you. Until then, may Chancellor Aldo, Lord Arborest and Lord Black Dagger be consulted... lay down and pray."

The troubled Shifa is turning her gaze at me.

"Your Majesty... I think that my father-in-law has also promoted a coup. I'm going to help you with the post-coup."

Cifa starts talking when she looks like she's ready.

"Okay. Then I offer to dispose of Leticia Lawrence. Get ready for the national burial of Belt Velis, his stepfather, who will soon succeed Velis' governor and change his name to Leticia Velis. And if mourning dawns, serve him as the rest of the banner immediately. That's all I'm saying. Leticia, do you have any objections?

"Ha! I pray for your life carefully! I'll be right in."

When Leticia gave the kingdom-style salute, she called the soldiers under her command and began to politely carry out the remains of old Verys.

To a man thick in loyalty who threw his life to save the shaking kingdom and the young demon king, he removed his own cape with respect, enveloping him as a carcass. And I gave orders to the soldiers of the Wangdu garrison who were indoors.

"Salute His Majesty the Great Loyal Minister!!

Soldiers give one kingdom-style salute after another for Verise, which is carried out by Leticia and the others.

"Kent... the rest of us learned about the danger of the position of king... Leticia's remaining challenge seems to have been told to successfully miss the nobles who participated in the coup. Veris has taught me that it is necessary not only to forgive them, but also to be harsh. Give me a really difficult challenge..."

Sifa seems worried about what to do with the punishment of the aristocrats who took part in the next coup, but as far as I'm concerned, I'm just going to keep an eye out because I can already see the answer. I intend to keep the promise to support Shifa that Velis said at the time of his death, so I am also thinking of pulling back if he makes a choice that would put him in crisis.

Also, I'm going to shelf Leticia's side room until the mourning breaks out because she's going to be in mourning, but I'm only going to sponsor her, so I'm going to tell Valid who stays in the king's capital not to spare any assistance.

Thus, the coup play staged in Wangdu succeeded in its end, but what an unwillingness for me to end it.
