Diablo receives another call to the Magus King Castle.
…………
This time, Diablo, who understands the reason for the call, kept walking in the royal corridor in the capital of the Magus kingdom with a harder face than usual.
The destination is the same place as when I was flashy reprimanded before - the office.
Diablo stops in front of the door, breathes gently, prepares, and knocks hard at his trembling fingertips.
After a while, the Magic Race Female Maid opens the door a little and confirms the person who knocked.
Because I had already talked to you, I could close the door once, but a few minutes later, it opened again and I was guided inside.
Heading towards First Prince Voros, who is mining and distributing the Magus Land in place of the King lying on the floor.
He hasn't taken the throne yet because the King is still alive, but he is essentially the top of the Magus kingdom.
The First Prince of Volos stopped paperwork and smiled when he realized Diablo had arrived.
"Well done, Diablo.I was supposed to be working on a tracking unit to flee the country without appearing in front of me.I'm really glad it was wasted. I'm glad. "
"Chu, I, a loyal subordinate, cannot ignore Lord Voros's voice and run away!"
Diablo responded with a flirtatious response with a cold sweat.
When I looked at him before, he shouted at me like a volcano that erupted at the beginning of the encounter, "This traitor is aahhhhhhhhhhh".
There was no anger this time, but cold dialogues, disgust, and sharp eyes that smiled but didn't smile at all ejected Diablo.
Without showing any sympathy for his atrophy, Volos lightly raised his hand and lowered his maid.
Voros and Diablo were the only two people left in the office.
... there is actually a guardian in the blind spot as Voros' escort.
As long as Diablo is out of control, he won't notice....
Volos puts his elbows on the desk where he was paperwork and puts his chin on.
With that attitude, ask gently.
"So, Diablo... you certainly understand why I called you in?
"Ha! Of course!This time I'm here to solve that misunderstanding!
"Huh! He said he was here to solve a misunderstanding!
Volos manipulates Diablo's dialogues with a slightly excessive amount of acting, like an actor on the stage.
He asks loudly.
"Well then, let me get this straight, Viscount Diablo!The Assassination Order Executioner (Blow) has asked me to assassinate you!Incidentally, I know that you contacted the negotiator of the "Assassination Executioner (Blow)" in the capital of the Magic Nation and asked for a job.Sometimes you're rushing up territory taxes and moving the money around behind your back.If you sing a song that you can't stand to hear... you know that, right?
Volos' eyes became thinner.
The eyes passed through the cold, and there was a desire to kill.
Diablo explains in haste.
"Lord Voros! Sure enough, I've made contact with the negotiator of" Assassin Order Executioner (Blow) "!But I never tried to kill Master Voros!I should have asked for someone else to be assassinated, but somehow it contained the wrong information "I tried to kill Lord Voros"!This must be a cunning trick to tear me apart from Master Voros!
Diablo spits out his soul-filled dialogue.
― ― Diablo asked for the assassination of Light, an adventurer known as Dark, to be the "Assassination Order Executioner (Blow)".
As a result, "Morte Sparda", the top 5 of "Assassination Order Executioner (Blow)", falls back.
I wish I could just fight back...
The Death Swords (Morte Sparda) are alive, but they lose their ability to talk and think properly.
Furthermore, they were "assassins of the Assassination Order executioners (blowers)", murders and massacres of nobles, merchants, etc., and signs detailing why nobles and others requested the assassination were placed next to the big one.
The contents were all terrible, and there was not physical evidence, but the relationship between the assassinated person and the person you asked for was so true that you could be convinced that "Oh, I see."
But for some reason, Diablo wasn't the only one to 'assassinate the adventurer Dark', but 'used the Executioner (Blow) to commit the assassination of First Prince Volos'.
It is misleading that Diablo was asked to assassinate the First Prince because everything else is true, but it was strangely persuasive.
I came to Volos this time to solve that misunderstanding.
But Volos asks Diablo with eyes he doesn't trust at all.
"Hmm... so who did you come into contact with the 'Executioner' negotiator to kill instead of my assassination?
"That's right...."
While wiping the cold sweat flowing out with a handkerchief, it's getting distracted.
I can't say here, "I thought I killed you a long time ago - because candidate Light was alive, I asked the Order of Assassins to kill you in secret."
If you say that, all of Diablo's nobility, territory and enormous money, which you acquired by killing the candidate, will be taken away.
Diablo has few options.
"Wow, because of my personal affairs, I can't listen to Volos anymore.Because of territorial problems, it is difficult to speak clearly...But what I can say is that I asked the Assassins to do a job even if I raised the tax rate on my territory to make sure I eliminated the uncertainty that jeopardized my position. "
Diablo wipes away his cold sweat and speaks of a dialogue that misleads him into believing that the territory issue - not the light assassination - is still the assassination of his real brother.
Since the operation of the territory is carried out by the hands of each nobleman, it is not a good thing to do it lightly, even if it is Volos.
If you do that, you will be rebelled against by the nobles.
I didn't say "main inheritance problem", but if it smells, Volos is hard to say... of course there is a way out.
"Territorial issues....."
Volos, with his elbows on his desk, leaves his body behind his back.
From Voros, I'd like to get rid of Diablo right away... but I can't kill him right now on the grounds that he may be after his own life.
In addition to not ruling out the possibility that Diablo's claims are correct, if he does so, he will have to kill or severely punish other aristocrats who requested other assassinations, and the Magic Nation will collapse due to disorder.
While swallowing the intent to kill,
"Surely it's not a good idea to keep your mouth shut about territorial issues....."
"Thank you for your wise judgment -"
Diablo leaks a tone of relief that seems to deceive him well.
But Voros asked Diablo even more narrowly.
"Nevertheless, it is also true that words alone do not believe the other person.Diablo, will you show me your loyalty once again?
"Chu, loyalty?
"I don't ask for anything difficult.As you know, some operations are currently being carried out in racial kingdom territory, but they are not working very well. "
The "Operation" refers to a racial kingdom that does not satisfy the demands of the Magic Kingdom. "The soldiers of the Magic Kingdom attacked the village of the racial kingdom near the border in disguise as thieves and did everything possible to make them understand their position."
However, by the soldiers of the racial kingdom and the subordinates of the "Witch of the Giant Tower", the operation had failed.
"I've received letters from Diablo and The Witch of the Great Tower, but you denied it?
"Ha, yes! Of course!I'm not connected to The Witch of the Giant Tower!
"Then why don't you send troops to this operation?If you're not connected to The Witch of the Great Tower, is there a problem?You can kill humans across the border like garbage, right?
"Hee, are you a soldier...?"
"That's right. Show me your loyalty in visible form, Diablo."
'If you refuse this request...' Voros says.
Pushed by that word, Diablo calculates desperately in his chest.
(Voros is completely sceptical about my loyalty...But on the contrary, just show loyalty!All you have to do is sacrifice your people and kill the human (inferior species) - the garbage bugs that crawl through the ground!Even if the Regent dies, if I live, the recovery of the territory is irrelevant.)
Diablo said, "If you live, you can rebuild your territory.I truly believed that I had that talent. "
He answers in a straight and gentle manner.
"I was terrified.I will show Master Volos my loyalty!I will gladly send troops against the kingdom of race -! "
