Next Life
Twelve Tales "Festival Aftermath (Previous)"
"If you marry me, you'll get one Holdia country, right?
At the parting, it was Asteria who threw an intangible explosive called word against Marius.
"But I say no"
Marius responded instantly.
A man in a position of minister of one country marries a queen of another country to obtain one.
Asteria, even if it's out of the question whether you like it or not, you can understand as much as you want.
In the first place, I was sorry for joking about marrying someone who made it clear that I would use myself on the eve of the Demon Performance Festival.
"Though it would be beneficial to Filato to swallow Holdia?
"Consider positively"
It was Bernhardt III who received the second proposal.
After deciding that Asteria can only be a pest in her body.
"Huh? That?
Marius was calm on the surface, but on the inside he was oronic.
I don't think Asteria can understand anything more than what she can't possibly get into her body and make an adult of herself.
Those from other countries were also stunned.
(Hey, what are you thinking? What about King Bernhardt?
There is no way that Asteria can be revamped or anything like that, and Holdia is above it in the first place in national power.
There is a risk that the dangerous word takeover will become a reality.
Whatever it was, it was certain that ripples were thrown across countries.
When Marius tried to ask, before that, Rovisa put up the Father King.
"What are you thinking, Father? Marriage between that woman and Master Marius, etc. You really think I can take Holdia in?
Bernhardt III replied with an objectified expression somewhere to his rarely talkative daughter.
"It's about that woman. Whatever the development, it's decided to plan something unexpected anyway. Then it's better to keep it within sight, within the reach of Lord Marius."
No one could deny the possibility of Asteria plotting something.
Then maybe it makes sense that Bernhardt III thought about it.
I don't think Marius would be able to imitate the distraction if he just glanced right at his side.
It ignores the will of the person, and the idea is based on the premise of a "lead sink."
"But is it that simple? You might get away with saying that your subordinates did it arbitrarily. That woman, she's the one who kills people."
Most of them nodded at Marius' allegations.
I'm sure no one understands Asteria's bad character.
If there is a weakness in Bernhardt III's proposal, there it is.
"If you're going to jump into your nostalgia, you have as many hands to end it. I don't even think of it as a fool who doesn't know it, so it's probably a falsification."
We all decided to back off to the king's confidence tap opinion.
"Besides, every country should try to be soft on Master Marius."
Everyone nods at Rovisa's point.
"If it is, it is not a bad hand to show that even Holdia is ready to accept it"
Of course, it will vary depending on future developments and responses.
"Did I do anything extra?
Bernhardt III to Marius, distracting, made a smile to reassure him.
"Thanks to Lord Marius, the policies of other countries were limited, and it was easier to anticipate and take measures. Let's thank you."
In the first place, it's only natural for another country to plot against Philato.
And the only way to stop it is to destroy it.
It can be described as a harvest, even if it merely reduces the enormous choices.
You may affirm that there is no nation that has the power to destroy demons and no nation that fights properly.
When it comes to the anxiety element, he is Holdia's Mad King, but he showed his charm.
"I'm afraid you will destroy the devil, Lord Marius."
"No, well, he said he was a miscellaneous fish."
Marius did not receive Lucas' obedient rhetoric.
Because the action taken by a demon named Zamuel was too dumb for anything.
If you have the ability to create tens of thousands of splits, you should have fought Marius alone to explore the power.
I didn't do it, fool. It was an instant kill because I was honestly in front of you in the main unit.
That's why I decided it was a tease, but because I didn't tell anyone, they never pointed out, "I don't normally predict being attacked by all tens of thousands of splits at the same time".
(The problem is the demon king Zagan, right? If Asteria's right, it must be sealed around Lake Nara...)
Since it's a place I've been, it won't take long to confirm.
You can just check it out when you get home.
"What is King Fillato thinking...?
King Lanreo, Henry IV, beheaded.
It shouldn't be a stupidity to seriously think about, such as being able to take incomprehensible lunatics like Asteria into your side.
Barra presents her opinion immediately.
"I'm sure Master Marius will manage. Because it's enough to destroy the demon completely."
"With that said, the demon's body, it was nowhere..."
Philip, who was in the carriage, snapped a potpourri.
My head seemed to be stuck in a reality that I didn't think was an event in the world, where specially built and robust buildings were missing their traces so that no one was injured at the Magic Festival, where the advanced magic of the high-ranking wizards flew.
"I must have used first-degree magic. You can't destroy a demon in the second degree, and if it was a curse, your surroundings would have been miserable. Sounds like they prefer the flame system, or" Xhalatio ”!
Burra laughed with pleasure, but her father, King and Philip, turned bright blue the moment they heard the name "Exhalatio".
If I try to make Barra, who is regarded by her real parents as "magical madness," she is only the object of worship and respect, rather than fear.
"Hey, Dad? Marriage to Master Marius, would you forgive me?
"But you are. I can't believe I'm offering you to the resentful enemy Filato..."
Henry IV's discourse was weak.
"But King Holdia was courting, wasn't he? Philato must have had a princess of his age, too, and if it wasn't for me, he'd lose."
"Wu......"
I do not believe that we have to reconcile ourselves with Fillato, and then we cannot lag behind other countries.
"I would have a common topic, and I'm not afraid of Master Marius. Besides, finding my son-in-law in the country would have been difficult."
"Knock."
My favorite beloved daughter's smile as a father now looks like a hateful winner's grin.
I couldn't help but tell by my father's account that it wasn't just responding to Marius that I meant it.
"I think Lanreo's the best hand to survive, though?
Though the soul and guts are clear, the trouble is that Bhara wasn't very good at theoretical arming.
"Right, let's do it right"
Henry IV probably admitted.
If I get into the attitude that I won't tolerate anything, I'm sure I'll run away and fill in fillets.
That's how well my daughter behaves.
Then forgive me is still better.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty was right in his prophecy."
Asteria just nodded vaguely at Mireille's words of comfort.
The victory of Marius and Filato, the assault of the devil, is just as we had expected.
The strength of Princess Burra, the fact that Hemrut is serious, and Marius' lack of standards.
Even if three things happened at the same time beyond your imagination, you cannot remain at peace.
The skills that Asteria possesses are neither complete nor absolute.
(Marius in development...... don't be the worst development depending on the combination)
Just one piece of information I didn't know goes in, and the prediction diagram changes dramatically.
Is it auspicious that you issued a warning about the Demon King until you took the risk?
When Asteria returned to her home country, she intended for the time being to strengthen her domestic base and prepare for the war.
Because after the festival, in less than a month, around Mithra will attack.
"You managed to be safe."
Boltner King Augusto III was relieved that the tournament was over without much trouble.
"Do you want the demon to show up and be safe?
Safe and sound.
It sounded more like I was telling myself than I was telling my subordinates.
Although her still young daughter, who had been put to sleep, remained frightened, she saw no other anomaly.
The venue had disappeared without a trace, but it would be inevitable if the demon and those who could defeat it fought.
Well done. You knocked me down, I even think.
"I think I'll send my daughter along to thank you, but what do you think?
"Huh? Princess, you're only twelve, right?
I can't help but be surprised that my subordinate was surprised, but I had a feeling it would be a turbulent time.
And isn't it a man named Marius who controlled the Demon Show Festival and defeated the Demon Man at its center?
"My daughter has to let her daughter-in-law out anyway. If so, I'd rather have enough men to ask. Fortunately, our country and Filato have been friends for years. It's easier to sign up than any other country."
"Okay. Then we'll make arrangements."
King Boltner gave his thoughts in the future as he watched his subordinate back leaving with a gratuity.
Hopefully my daughter will at least have enough time to feel happy.
It was Serraeno who was most struck by Marius' unharmed and demonic destruction.
Even though Gaelic has stirred me up, it's because I once suffered a catastrophic loss and lost much of my national territory.
"I hope retaliation is not directed at Fillato..."
Hemrut and Agash nod at the concerns expressed by Serraeno king Derek.
We are both losing fathers and uncles who were high ranking military officials at the time in the battle against the Demon Army.
"No matter how good Marius is, it must be difficult to protect a country from hundreds of thousands of demons and demons."
"Zamuel is probably a Shadowgrab Demon... not to mention his special abilities, his pure combat skills are not that far away"
The other two also concurred with Hemrut's allegations.
These are only Seraeno standards.
"You don't know if you're a complete militant demon like Dragon or Griffon."
"You may surprisingly win lightly."
I haven't seen Marius fully equipped, so I couldn't help but not rate him better.
"I'd like to work with Lanreo, Filato, Holdia and others."
If Filato is attacked by demons, we want to send reinforcements immediately.
"What about Holdia? That lunatic, I don't think it makes much sense."
Derek disputed Agash's doubts.
"I don't know. It's vicious, but it's pretty good in terms of efficiency."
"Would it be efficient to abandon 150,000 slave soldiers"
And I read Marius' power at the Demon Festival.
I grinned bitterly at Hemrut and Agash, who had successively cast doubt on me.
"I learned about Marius' power and the power of mankind with the power of an alternative. Much faster than us. It's a difference around two weeks, but what can we do with two weeks in our country?
To the king's lower question the two looked at each other, and Hemrut answered.
"I would be interested in a hundred thousand sized troops. With that, you'll be able to set up the barracks, and you can expect to drop the castle fort to some extent with the commander and the target."
The Seraeno army boasts so much smell.
However, as things stand, it is difficult to maintain the castle forts and cities that have been attacked down, so it is just not transferred to execution.
"Which means we got so much time. Time is better than gold, let's know."
"Yes. But not too much...?
Agash also eats down.
A woman named Asteria was nothing but a madman who bled without darkness.
"I'll admit the woman is distorted. The fact that it's an outside road. But we know that without the people, the country will not be made, and that moderate tax cuts will energize the economy. You can't call me incompetent at this point."
"That's right..."
Few royal marquis nobles who have been subjugating their status and privileges for generations have the wrong idea that the people are their property or that they cannot live without their permission.
It can be said that it is relatively decent at a time of such privileged electorate awareness and irrelevance.
"However, brutal behavior after trampling implicit understandings. I would fool myself into thinking that there is a great danger in asking for it."
"I admit the possibility of being bought. But if you insult me as just a lunatic, I'm sure you'll get a big burn."
"Yes, sir."
I was convinced Agash pulled back when it came to the point that it was dangerous to insult him, and now Hemrut questioned him.
"In His Majesty's opinion, what kind of madman is he?
"Hmm. The worst part is if the Demon Gaelic is switched and the Demons are behind it."
Hemrut and Agash turned their faces bright blue and gazed at each other.
"It's a joke. It's impossible because Marius, who broke Zamuel's disguise at first sight, was treating her normally."
It was too bad for my heart. It was a joke.
Nevertheless, Marius makes a lot of things.
"Genius and the fool say a piece of paper. Heroes and madmen are on paper again. I will see if Queen Asteria fulfills the prerequisite of pretending to be the latter. Maybe there's a curtain."
I don't have enough information to make a decision.
Responding with the former intent would surely be less damaging.
Hemrut and Agash nodded at the words of the king, who had bewitched him.
It is their calculation that the four countries of Serraeno, Lanreo, Filato and Holdia, if united, can also fight the Demon Army fully.
The calculation needs to be scrutinized for crazy elements.
To stop the demon king from resurrecting.
If you ask Derek, the Philato thing is human resources, and I can't afford to be sympathetic.
Uemura condemns Holdia, but to be honest, "If the demon man is moving to revive the demon king, is that what he's doing?"
"Send a selection of those who are good at intelligence to observe. Those who report only the facts of the queen's words and deeds may do so. He's the one who manipulated the information so brilliantly, he's willing to look into the demon."
"Ha."
I am proud that Seraeno is the strongest in the human state, but it is forbidden to be alarmed because it is a country where the powerful there were unnamed: Mireille.
