The Demon King Seems to Conquer the World

Episode 169: Face-to-Face Dinner Party Preliminary

"But I don't know what marriage is in that year..."

In Gotgoto and a rocking carriage, Luke said.

"Uh... excuse me. You couldn't keep my father's teachings."

"Oh, that's..."

"Teach?"

Suzuya says with a question mark.

"That's it. Among the students, they were told to be cautious about imitating women."

"Oh, yeah..."

Actually, don't get your hands on a correctional woman by mistake, if you're going to fuck a city well woman or go to a whorehouse, though.

Well, I'm pretty sure I broke it.

Or Suzuya didn't have to come because she was pregnant.

My stomach is swelling...

She said it was okay because she was feeling better, and she was forced to follow me.

I guess we're in a proper stabilisation phase.

"But I can't help it. You're starting to like it."

"Hmmm... but royalty..."

It seems that Luke has something that doesn't fall in his heart.

"What are we going to do with the Howe family?

"Father will ask you for a while longer. Ma, I thought maybe it would be quite annoying..."

"Hmmm... I don't mind. Yuri must have some ideas too..."

Think about it.

"I have a lot to think about. Whether or not we'll make it to the next crusade..."

"Well, I just have to think I can handle it. Just do the best you can. If you don't do it, it won't be anything."

Come to think of it, has Luke endured this pressure all along?

I haven't been thinking about running away like I did.

I guess I had a lot to worry about.

"I don't know, but as much as we're family, I'm sure we'll figure it out. 'Cause there are two men I can count on."

"Forget it, in front of my son. I can light it up."

What is this old man......

Well, actually, I don't care about my family.

"Hey, I don't know if it's rude with these clothes."

And, Suzuya uttered the question several times in total.

"He said it's okay. It's not such a big event."

"But you're meeting Her Majesty the Queen?

"Let's not, Your Majesty, shall we? Your Majesty will be fine."

"... isn't that rude?

When they say that, is Your Majesty rude?

Hmmm......

I feel different than rude, but it seems difficult to explain it to Suzuya.

"They're all going through with His Majesty, so it's okay."

"What about your clothes? Are you okay?"

"He said it's okay. Because it's a face-to-face meeting. Anything too formal, maybe."

"Really...?

That's right.

Face to face, so I would have liked Sham to come too if I could.

They said no to "never"......

Satsuki can't come because he can't leave while Luke is away.

The sound of a wheel called Gotgoto changed.

"Time to get there"

Luke said.

The entrance to Royal Castle Island is, of course, a bridge, but it is only halfway there to become a stone arch bridge, and the last six meters or so have a jump up ceremony.

When an external enemy is imminent, raise this bridge to stop the invasion.

It is made of wood because it struggles to lift when it is heavy, but it is not to be lifted every night, these days it is to be lifted twice a year to check operation.

Even in that case, they get dropped off right away because it gets in the way of traffic.

As the carriage passes through here, the sound of the wheels bouncing gothically over the cobblestone changes, making it sound like running on a tree.

Then we will soon reach the royal castle.

"Mother, I wonder if we can avoid a crude phase..."

Suzuya's worries were recurring.

"Welcome aboard,"

Upon entering the royal castle, about four women dressed as maids lined up, and they bowed their heads and welcomed their three parents and children.

Some of them look familiar.

It was definitely a king's sword that was called Tyreto or something.

I was with him when I was in Kirchina.

Hey, it's been a while, but should I call you?

I'm supposed to be dressed as a maid, so I guess I should stop.

"Let me show you. Here..."

and walk down the corridor of the royal castle as he is guided.

If you climb the stairs twice or so, you'll reach a luxurious room.

It really feels like a VIP room with a night view.

The gold leaf on the ceiling with the sculpture on one side is soaked, but the gold thread used for the wallpaper looks new.

I guess it is replaced regularly.

When I looked at the room, the light of the large chandelier was not like daylight, but it was bright enough to illuminate the room.

The floor was carpeted and the table was luxurious.

Of course, the table itself is a heavy and luxurious item, but it is adorned with a large bouquet of flowers lived on.

This alone is going to be a good amount of money.

"Thank you so much for coming. You're welcome."

Her Majesty, who had already waited in her seat, took her seat again, pinching both ends of her skirt and thanking her lightly.

This is unusual.

The Queen does not normally bow her head herself.

"What... No, it's a pleasure to have you here."

That's right. Luke also thanked me in a hurry.

I guess I never saw a queen like this.

"Dear father-in-law and mother-in-law, welcome. My name is Carol Full Chartre."

Carol bows her head in a loose dress, either to hide her belly, which starts to swell a little.

Hmmm...... I guess I'm not wearing a cat.

Well, I'd wear cats if I was in the opposite position, too, and maybe each other.

I already know your face against the Queen...

My name is Suzuya Hou.

I greet Suzuya with a strange trick, nervously retreating.

I guess for Suzuya it can be felt by people close to the Heavenly Man......

I'm going to be my stepdaughter, so I don't think I have to be so afraid.

Everyone seems to be saying hello when they introduce themselves, and should I?

"Thank you very much for having these seats available today. Your Majesty."

Look, I knew it felt like wearing a cat.

I can't tell you about Carol.

"Thank you. I hope you enjoy today. Come on in, come on in."

said the queen.

Of course the queen sits in the upper seat, but the seat on its right hand side is open and Carol sits next to it.

Sitting next to it was Carlia.

Carlia.

Are you joining us...?

I'm staring at something.

Are you willing to kill me with your gaze?

There are three seats available on the right side of the queen and two on the left.

I guess the couple on the left will sit side by side, so I'll be in the right seat.

That's how Luke sat as he escorted his beefy Suzuya.

When she saw them all safely seated, the queen gave her signal with a quick glance.

A king sword-like man dressed as a waiter opens the door and leaves.

I guess I'll bring an aperitif or something.

"This room has a nearby cooking area, so you can cook while it's warm."

said the queen.

Hmm, is that right?

Dining at the royal castle is because there are so many witches at work there, I thought there was something like a big dining room or something like that.

The witches have asked the restaurant to come forward or, if they have time, to go out for lunch themselves, and I have heard that in the case of large ceremonies where meals are served, the servant is supposed to be the hand to bring the dishes.

Sometimes they call it a cooking place to cook royal meals.

Well, is that it?

"Really? I'm looking forward to that."

Luke gave it back to me like it was a gift.

"Oh, I hope it fits your mouth..."

Carol tells me something strange.

This kind of carol is unusual...... even though it's in my house, it's like a cat I borrowed it from.

So the door opened and the maid showed up with a basin.

Begin to distribute drinks individually.

Elongated and stretched cup with clear liquid with ice, foaming inside.

Carbonated water or this.

You've never had a drink before.

There seems to be an area on the back of the mountain where all drinking water is carbonated water, but it is about as rare as spring water in most areas.

Since it's hard to seal and carry the carbonation off, I don't know if I would bother to drink it... I don't even like anything else, and I've kept it away.

After all, carbonated water is delicious when used to split water, so it seems to be familiar to drinking.

"Here you go, have some"

The queen told me, so I'll put my mouth on it.

Oh, it's lemon soda. This.

And I knew it before I drank it.

A sparkling splash brought the scent of lemon to my nose before my mouth.

I guess you tried soda the lemon brought to you by Howe.

If you put it in your mouth, it's definitely lemon soda.

The sweetness is not so strong, but I felt so nostalgic.

When I taste it carefully, I feel it also has a mint-like flavor.

The Howe Company just brought in lemons, but they've been studied a lot at the end of the day.

"How about that? It's my favorite these days."

The queen smiles and says.

You're kind of tense today.

"Very tasty,. I thought it might be something to squeeze into meat, but there are ways to drink it."

Suzuya speaks courageously.

"Actually, it's a recipe that's been around for a long time. Yuri hasn't brought it to me in 900 years, so I can make it again."

Ho.

Probably talking about the time of the Great Empire, but was there a way to drink lemon bumps in carbonated water from then on?

Must have been written in a cookbook or something a long time ago.

Maybe it's a mistake around the lime.

"This was also brought to me by Yuri... it's really amazing"

Wow.

Stop it because I can light it up.

"No, because it's not that. It was the sailors who brought it..."

"Well, you don't have to be so humble."

The queen has been harassing me.

"You're not being modest..."

"Actually, I think it's a lot. Because six minutes of the Howe family's income is Yuri's business relationship. Including the associated money flow, there will be 10% more Yuri."

Luke said.

Come on, can I say that in front of the queen, Father?

When it comes to where that money comes from, it's a little over half from this king's capital.

In other words, the Howe family has a large trade deficit against the Royal Heavenly Realm, so to speak, there is trade friction.

"Yeah, not at all. He's a wonderful son. As much as I want you to teach me how to educate me."

After all, the Queen didn't seem to care at all.

And I seem to keep flirting.

Should I give up now?

I guess it's the spirit of today to be attached to these shameful plays.

Maybe that's what marriage is all about.

"No... I'm really not doing anything. Strongly speaking, I wonder if it would have been nice to have stretched and raised them as children"

Please don't.

Stop saying that in front of the kids.

"Ugh... I guess that's how I should grow it. What do you think, Carol?

You call me honey.

I have my parents.

The characters are so different, Luke. What a mess we've been having.

"Right. I was wondering if it would be a good idea to support what you want to do and stretch your strengths... it seems like Yuri and Sham have grown up that way"

I'm saying something decent.

Is there something I think about the children's education laws from now on......

So, there was a guttan and a chair ringing.

"... what's wrong? Carlia."

When the queen says,

"... hey, let me sit in the middle"

For the first time today Karlya opened her mouth.

He leaves the room in indignant footsteps.

The door was shut rampantly.

"Oh, um... any disrespect?

The fearful Suzuya asked.

"No, I'm not. That kid... hey, there's a lot going on."

"Really..."

Suzuya looks anxious.

I guess I feel like a dark cloud has stood in my upcoming family relationship.

"Girls of that age are hard to deal with. Is he rebellious?"

Luke said he smelled like a jerk.

"Parenting is difficult. When you were Carol, you were my first child, so I thought you were worthy of the next king, and I raised you harshly..."

The queen put the cup in her hand and started talking.

Those eyes were kind of lonely, nostalgic for the old days, those eyes.

"It's harsh to impose a lot of responsibilities on young children who aren't even old enough, and as parents, I was heartbroken. So Carlia... Carol is here, so I thought I wouldn't have to raise her so hard."

Memorabilia seem to continue.

Nevertheless, it is interesting to be a parent from now on.

I don't want to raise you like Carlia either way, son or daughter.

"Carol and I both said that was somewhat dissatisfying. You know, it's just carlya cheating... well, but the roots are serious, so I did a lot of duty, and this is how I grew up fine."

Hmm, what a sight to see.

Carol, who, although slightly bumpy, can put off a packed education like your exam.

I guess Carol when we met at the admissions ceremony was exactly that final form.

"Then, after all, it made a difference step by step. All I can praise is Carol. Carol is also expected as the next queen. I am neither praised nor expected...... Carlia gradually began to have a spicy look. I, for the first time in my life, noticed a mistake. But it was too late to notice. Then I tried to be tough for a while... but there was no way a child who grew up spoiled could bear to suddenly force a lot of moderation and practice. On the contrary, it has become a character that has persisted in the world..."

Your Majesty was also a mother, wasn't she?

I thought it was something you were abandoning when it came to Carlia.

After all, a mother may be something she always thinks of her child.

But... it's hard to say that Karlya was badly educated.

Whether human growth is due to qualities that are being born or to experience since birth is a rather difficult and difficult question to draw the line from.

ADHD and autism are born diseases, and this is not something that can be corrected.

Even within normal boundaries, it is low for the degree of autism and IQ.

Still, Carlia would have been inferior even with a strict education. I can't say enough.

Human growth is simply difficult to describe, and no one will be able to say enough that Carlia had no future over Carol.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I've been talking too much."

Totally.

Wouldn't it be too much to forgive me, though I'll be inside you from now on...

No, I don't know if it's okay because I'm gonna be inside you, even with these nori.

Am I overthinking?

"Your Majesty's heart, I'm sure it conveys. One day… one day we will be able to laugh and talk"

Suzuya seemed impressed by the fact that as the same mother she had a part in empathy, saving tears in her eyes.

Maybe Suzuya thinks that Carlia left earlier because of her obsession with Her Majesty the Queen.

Simply because Carol had the targeted frustration that put me to bed, and I don't think she liked this seat herself.

"Thank you, Mr. Suzuya...... Oh, you still had cooking arrangements. It's time to put them in line."

They're finally starting a meeting.

I've been waiting. I've been waiting.

Before that, I looked at Carol sitting next to me, curious, and she said that the queen's words earlier were heavily on her mind, giving her a difficult look.

It doesn't seem to be in my ears like cooking or conversation.

"What's wrong?

I'll ask you in a low voice.

"No... I thought I'd talk to Carlia properly next time, but we're gonna have a fight anyway..."

That was your best opinion.
