Our demon king is coming. (formerly Mayday A Series)
22: Ulysses, off the front.
I forgot to stick to eat, so I found a way to separate the conversation, put lemon cake on it, and scraped the tea.
Hmm, it still stains my body when I eat something sweet between difficult stories.
"Oh yes...... can I ask you one thing?
"What is it, Your Highness?
"Why would your uncle do us good? Normally, that would be out of the way, princes."
"Ha. Well, normally you would. …… but I, this is the second time I've fought for the throne"
……
"I was too young last time, and it was over before I knew everything. It is absurd to say that there is some kind of code in this country that kills brothers and survives.... because last time, it was only me and His Majesty who eventually stayed"
Oh, well.
I missed one important thing. [M]
This man is also involved in the battle for the throne when his father became king.
My uncle ate lemon cake in two bites. Because I haven't had it on my hands at all before.
"I respect Your Majesty. His Majesty did not treat me as a disturber after he himself became king. I have this status now, and I can participate in the battle for the throne in the same way as the princes, because Your Majesty cared about me and gave me a chance. Normally, you want your child to succeed you. What a halfway through last survival I am. You could be a rebel, so it's customary to kill your brothers in the War on the Throne."
"... Oh really?
"That's right. Hey. Even if it's sweet, I'll be banished from the royal palace. It's like an event game that's been around this country for a long time. I don't like that. So I really wanted the princes all to live, and I wanted the princes to settle into a decent and safe position when I became king.... but there's only two of us already."
………
I wondered why my father had never spoken out about the fight for the throne.
Seeing as the princes were dying, Father never said anything would be done, because he left out what each faction would do.
Did you think there was no choice?
But isn't it because Father retained his uncle in the royal palace and gave him a chance at the status he wanted because he had some will to rebel against this battle for the throne?
Uncle, I'm sure he's the only one who can respond to your father's silent appeal.
"My lord Ulysses, I can't imagine you staying in someone who doesn't affect this country. You said you weren't going to take the throne, but your presence seems to deny it. Unlike me and His Highness Alfredo, the fact that you have a narrow defensive range with little backing seems like the will of the world to survive while being focused on your life...... Oh, how about another piece of cake?
"Oh no, uncle. You bought me too much. [M] Oh, I'll have the cake."
My uncle made a funny joke, and I laughed, but I thought to myself.
With this power as a white magician, I wonder how easy it would be to take the throne.
If I were serious, would it be easy to change this country?
While you have your second lemon cake.
"... but I think, uncle. If there is will in the world, you will not let me be king. That's all I know."
"Ho, so what will it be?
It's time for dusk to be near, and the sound of the wind shaking the flowers on the terrace will be all over your ear.
I don't know, this time of year, the magic inside of me is always raging.
I smiled and was desperate to contain the magic.
Because I was aware of the words of someone I should be.
I decided to leave the front and stand up. [M]
"Oh, it's time to go home!! Bastian tells me that at dusk it will be hey!!
"... oh, my God, that grandfather is really worried too"
"Oh, lemon cake was delicious. I heard Delia Field can take a lot of lemons, but if there's such a delicious treat, I'd like to go sometime."
I tried to put my uncle's last question on hold.
My uncle was sneering, but he still made a slight glimpse of his inner passion and plot, but he wouldn't expose himself to sincerity.
Same as me.
"Uncle, please call me for tea again. I'll be studying a little more by then."
"No, Your Highness has still studied enough. I'm not going to ask you to change your country with me. I'm not going to ask you to be that."
"Haha, am I? I wonder if I can."
Softly, I said hello and left. [M]
My uncle will always drop me off and wave luxuriously.
Well, my uncle asked me earlier, and I was asking myself the answer to that question.
Who are you going to be one day?
It's decided at the time of reincarnation into this world.
Demon King.
If the world had the will, it would certainly not lead to the king of this country or anything.
This magic is not the power for it.
Once, as we were guided, we followed its path.
