Story of The Ancient Demon King!

Light Kingdom.

Tension runs between the majestic imperial palaces.

The nervous servants present to the guests the tea confectionery and the finest quality tea prepared from the famous shop in Wangdu.

……

Guests are silent. Doesn't show any interest.

The scent of this black tea, which calms the heart of the king's whisper, is unlikely to ease the tense atmosphere on the spot.

And... the Duke of Marton, sitting next to King Wright, opened his mouth carefully as they thanked him and left.

……

"... this time you've taken the trouble to carry your feet, and I have no words of thanks."

I am desperate to read the mood of the person in the black dress sitting face-to-face from my words and atmosphere.

"I'm not here to talk. You have the courage to summon me tired from a long journey."

"Well... let's finish this quick."

King Wright asks Hildegalt as perseverance, who seems to be in a very bad mood for accepting the invitation.

"Cougaro would have offered me a condition."

"Of course. As you all know, I've traveled for it."

"Hmm. But... Marton"

In response to King Wright's call, Marton prepared a number of favorable terms...

"Okay, I'll follow you to this country."

……

A lost face between King Wright and Marton that the soldiers have never seen.

It was an overwhelming response from Hildegart, who drank hot tea without looking at him.

"Are you sure, Miss Hildegart...."

……

Cain, who stood behind him, was not surprised by the sudden and arbitrary decision.

"I say good. I'm totally pulling back from Cougaro.... subject to conditions. Besides the privileges I said before. First, we reach out to other countries instead of cougars. Count it well. The rest is information that the country has acquired… Especially war-related, unsurfaced, and demonic kings. If it is broken, the priority contract will be destroyed."

……

It's a difficult story.

If they say they want to do business in the Empire, it is extremely difficult.

But....

"... have a formal contract in place to ensure confidential information is not leaked to anyone else"

Very well.

Um, well, then let's do it.

If we compromise on one of these conditions, Hildegart will go to Quadjaro.

"Thank you, Mr. Hildegart, for your discretion."

……

For Marton's gratitude, the fierce queen has a cold gaze.

From its loving, childish appearance, a relentless sense of intimidation seeps out.

"Now, I want to fill in the details, but first... the second topic. Mr Hildegart must have been in trouble.... can you tell us what happened in the city of Kujou?

……

[Black Demon King] related questions that I dared to postpone.

"... I don't know what to say. The Demon King appeared and burned and killed Madame and her surroundings with the magic of fire. All my towers are worn out."

"... are you sure you want to say... that the Devil King was doing it for a beautiful woman?

"What else is there?"

"In that case...."

Martin is confused for just a few seconds, but he can't help but ask.

"... why are you here?"

The power of the Demon King so far, the number of brutalities in the Kujou to be heard.

Although Hildegart has a wealth of magic, I can't see why he didn't abduct such a poor maiden.

"I didn't know. Just before they took him away, his men showed up and reported something. When I heard that, I left somewhere. That's all."

The king opened his mouth with a half-heartedness to Hildegart's sly words.

"First of all, let's be glad they're safe. It is also an important presence in this country. If it falls into the hands of that colourless demon king, this country will be set in limbo at once. Just like Celeste...."

The king's words were broken as he sought to find out more about Hildegart.

The face was suddenly starting to turn red.

"No way... the demon king retreated..."

Marton looks pale, and the worst predictions run through his head.

At that time, wooden double-open doors are knocked.

Martin nodded to the knight who was holding off near the entrance and opened the door.

"--Excuse me while we are having a chat. As soon as possible, I have something to tell you."

Say it now.

Hildegart orders a fresh knight to enter the room with permission.

A single merchant can be said to have become a knight.

He would not have quit the discourse and punishment.

……

But the knight with the emergency report turned to the king to ask.

"... I don't mind. Say it."

"Ha, ha!

And the knight, with the king's forgiveness, told him in a voice that was passed down to all the men of the room.

"--The Demon King Army has begun marching into the city!

………

……

…

After meeting with the kings, Hildegart arrived at the Scarlet Chamber of Commerce headquarters in a carriage carrying Cain.

I returned to the imperial castle in a hurry to attend the emergency meeting.

"Cain, that sounds like something to me."

"That's... yes"

"Say it. It's a special day."

Hildegart, who intimidates and pushes from the top, usually tells him to obey silently.

But today she sat comfortably at her desk, forgiving Cain's claim in front of her.

It was obviously different from usual.

"I... think it's premature to decide things like this..."

"Because of the war?

"... yes. The Kingdom of Light is a great power, but as you know, Quadjaro has a [flame lion]."

……

Cujaro's trump card, [Flame Lion] Drake Le Stand.

Hildegart's notoriety also narrowed his eyes.

"And now that Madame is gone, those who were under her umbrella in fear of her are leaving the Chamber of Commerce. If you pull your hand from Quadjaro even further, you may lose half the size if it gets worse."

"Then don't make it worse. That's all."

……

Cain loses his words.

The idea of being different seemed different.

A small number of people disobeyed the Chamber of Commerce, whether Madame was gone or not, who had been slaughtered at the Chamber without any authority.

I'm ordering you to make up for it.

"Dear Hildegart, there's more..."

"--I followed the Devil."

The cold silence descended into a large room.

♢♢♢

Not far from the impact of the dark sky.

A bridge along cherry blossom-lined streams, away from the still flaming Firewheel Tower.

"Look, Hilde. The light of fire is reflected in the river and it's beautiful."

Don, the demon king's chest rang.

……

……

Hildegart, who was hugged by the Demon King, punched the Demon King in the chest and showed dissatisfaction with his sharp gaze.

"But I can't anymore...."

"You... don't mess with men's habits..."

Behind the demon kings are children who are tired and full of soot.

As for the orchids and tamaki, they were already asleep.

"... yes, let's see the flowers in the cherry blossom season. Make lunch and make sure you get the best place. Likes, Hildegart"

"....."

The Asked Hildegart poked the Demon King's cheek with a fan that had been removed from nowhere.

"Yes, just in case, I was named the Demon King at first.

"... I've never seen anyone as naughty as you. Until you fake your appearance, peek into my bath and dive into the futon -"

"I was thrown into the hot spring and I realized it was here... Oh, my God, my memory's getting cloudy, you."

I slapped the demon king's forehead with a fan.

"Yes! I wanted to talk to you."

……

"I'm sure you're tired today, so I'd like to eat and sleep with the kids and ask them again tomorrow..."

……

Hildegart turns his back and shuts up.

"... I don't know, okay?

……

……

"................................................................................................................................................................................................................................."

I answered with a soft voice.

"... Hilde is really cute."

Ugh!

The demon king's comedy is beaten.

"Hmm... of course."

I spent a peaceful moment watching the blooming cherry blossoms that filled both sides of the river.

In the night cherry blossoms lit by the full moon and flames, I forgot a moment and watched.

♢♢♢

"... and then the next day, when you finished listening to me, he left."

"Well, which way...."

"I don't know. It didn't seem to have been decided when we left."

While drinking Cain's hot tea, she looks in a bad mood.

"... we should share the fact that we made a hand with the Demon King alone."

Whatever you want.

"I'll call Sasha back as soon as I can. You should let her know."

"No way. Send him straight to Cujaro."

"Ha, ha....?

Hildegart's orders to doubt his ears.

He instructed Sasha, his secretary, to send him to the Quadjaro kingdom, where he decided to step aside.

"Don't you cut your hand with Cougaro...?

"Don't say that again."

"And Sasha sends it to Quadjaro?

"Yes, it is."

Cain is taken by nervousness.

"... you idiot. He is connected to Enzionism. He was the one who leaked my information to Madame, and he was the one who was guiding the escape from prison in the royal castle."

"Ah... no, that's impossible!"

"Looks like you brought him in as the driver of my carriage. He was the only one who knew my itinerary. The information that Madame was going to Kujou didn't come in until the end. He's the only one."

"... no way..."

"Send it to Cujaro so he knows where you're going."

"... I understand."

Sasha's betrayal, a partner who has been working as Hildegart's assistant for many years.

Kane's heart beats fast in agitation, but it was also a fact that he gradually gained a good taste.

"He was going to take this seat from me, just like I chased Madame."

"Looks like... She yearned for a ruler like you."

Kane is a little distressed by the feeling of loneliness, but I am more concerned about the future with the Demon King.

"So... what happens to us? Are you still going to use it to dominate the country? There was a report at the royal castle earlier....."

Hmm.

Cain's natural concern is the gruesome Hildegart.

"... I don't know. I didn't know about the idea of rootless grass."

……

Strangely, the Hildegart seemed to be a stubborn child from loneliness, but Cain was driven out of his head and waited for Hildegart's mood to heal.

It seemed as if this queen was more troublesome than the demon king.
