Story of The Ancient Demon King!

Episode 4: The King's Capital, The Royal City, The Convention Hall

King Wright's capital.

King Wright “Red Wright” and his assistant Georges are in the conference hall of the royal castle. There were only three others, demonstrating the importance and confidentiality of the agenda.

"- Your Majesty, what is the status of Sealy's interrogation? I know that it hurts not to allow the Knight Commander and I to get involved, but I want the minimum information."

“Lionel E”, the head of the Knights of the Light Kingdom sitting diagonally in front of the King, said without hesitation.

Just like Georges, he is an old knight who has served this country for a long time, a hero of a country that everyone has recognized for his bravery in many battles.

"... I understand."

He lowered his head without being able to eat down to the King of Light, who cut off in one word without the splendour of a boulder or an island to attach to.

"Please understand. This is the clue that came back from that (...). Celestia told me not to involve anyone."

Georges supplements it from next to the king.

"... of course, I understand. But you know how we feel, Underboss, because you want us to have the opportunity to dispel the stigma of the past."

I once captured a nobleman who thought he had clues to a lot of kidnappings in the Wright Kingdom long ago.

It was three years ago.

The case, which began to move on Celestia's initiative, showed progress at once, and was finally a result of his thoughts.

However, some of the Knights of the Guards who were in charge of the interrogation led to the enemy, and their nobles were assassinated. The knight killed himself.

……

“Halmar El”, the chief of the Jinshi Knights who stood behind the king, slightly wandered around uncomfortably.

"Just let me tell you this."

Of course, the king opens his mouth.

"Celestia is now identifying a number of suspected nobles and suspects. Soon, the relationship behind it will be revealed."

"Oops, that's good news. Then what can I do for you, Lionel?"

The old knight stepped out with a snort of joy, and thought of the amount of blood everyone felt even younger.

"Your Highness Celestia, it's a lot of things. From our point of view, it's a complicated mood due to its reliability and its own impudence."

“Marton Dee”, who holds the status of Duke.

An elegant man with glasses shows a pleasant smile. Even though he is already fifty years old, he continues to do his hard work smoothly.

However, from other countries, he is called a "beast” because of his seemingly aggressive and relentless manoeuvring.

"The Duke of Dee is right. I can't say anything until he brings up your name. Hahahaha!"

Lionel laughs with his thick arms together.

Celestia had already made a considerable contribution to the country by being a student, despite her absolute beauty.

Besides - the Light Kingdom is the strongest.

The official victory over Lionel and Halmar has made him the perfect superman beyond doubt.

"Well, the princess is rarely seen in a meeting."

"Oh, Celeste has something to do with school."

"--Halmar"

After the meeting is over, Lionel calls out to Hamar as he walks early through the passage of the castle.

"Father-in-law, thank you so much for taking care of me earlier."

Like Lionel, Hamar lowers his short cut head deeply.

I feel sorry for the sharp and tidy look on my face.

"Mm-hmm. Never mind. I originally thought I'd ask you."

Halmar was expected by Lionel to be talented in childhood and was adopted by a baron family.

It was Lionel who taught me swords and magic, and taught me how to be a nobleman and a knight.

It is no exaggeration to say that it was all thanks to Lionel that I became the Commander of the Kintetsu Knights.

"However, I have been sheltering before, and this time, my stepfather's position is....."

Lionel was clever when the Knights of the Kintetsu shut his mouth about the kidnapping, shielding Kintetsu leader Hamar from being held accountable.

And this time, I was trying to get the king to do something about the stigma.

"Don't worry about the old man's position. Not to mention a parent who didn't think of his son."

"Father-in-law....."

He scratched his wrinkled cheeks with a stinking smell and strayed from the respectful eyes of his son, Hamar.

"Ah, oh, yeah. I had a different topic."

"... are you serious?

Lionel accepts and is conscious of serious facial expressions.

"Rumor has it... don't get ahead without knowing for sure.

"... what are the rumors?"

"Mm, shh, I don't know."

"I'm sorry. Would you mind telling me if I could just be your stepfather?

I was worried about Lionel, who seemed to have a nasty face, and I asked without putting it in my hair.

"... hmm.... mmm. Well, that's good.... Actually..."

Lionel, who can no longer stand Halmar's gaze, is creating meaningful moments.

"... rumor has it that His Majesty has the heart to exclude Enzionism from the Kingdom of Light."

"Excuse me!?

Calm and sedentary, Halmar reveals surprises he has never seen even Lionel.

There's nothing I can do about it.

Enzionism is a religion that has been rooted in the Wright Kingdom for a long time. Lionel and Hamar are, of course, the national religions to which most of the people of the Wright Kingdom belong.

It worships the "White Heavenly Woman” who once went down from heaven and continued to save people in the vicinity of the Wright Kingdom for free regardless of race, gender, etc., and preaches the teaching that the importance of equality and innocence is paramount.

"... what a..."

"Don't talk about it. Are you going to let the pigeon kill my son?

A sharp gaze and a strong tone from a war-torn fierce force to stop him.

“What foolishness", Lionel stops talking to the king who has spoken naturally, and saves him.

"... I'm sorry."

"I know how you feel. I'm not as enthusiastic as you, because I'm a believer."

Take a deep breath to cool off Halmar's hot head.

"... you know, but don't imitate it too soon. I'm not sure, and I'm sure your Majesty has some deep thoughts."

"Yes.... now I'm going to..."

"Ah... if anything happens, come and visit me. It's still your house."

"... yes. Thank you for your concern... Bye."

Halmar walks away with a sunny face.

Lionel waited for his puzzled, seemingly clear back inside his chest until he disappeared.
