The Demon King Seems to Conquer the World

Episode 170: Face-to-Face Dinner Party, Part II

When the appetizers, soup and dishes proceeded and the light fish dishes were finished, the meat dishes came.

Some large bites of steak, lightly roasted only on the surface, are lined on a plate with a deep brown sauce.

At the same time, the glasses were arranged, and now the wine was poured.

It would be alcoholic beverage.

I have a pregnant woman, so I don't know about alcohol, but let's not talk about it.

A cup or so hardly affects you.

"This meat is delicious."

"Isn't that right? It's chicken fin. The chef is proud of his cooking."

The queen and Suzuya are chatting completely relaxed in some conversations after pounding their tongues on the dishes.

It does taste good, but it feels kind of healthy.

Shika's fin meat is not oily (flaky), the sauce is fruity, and it's definitely a delicious dish, but it feels like it's missing something.

After all, the royal family is a women's belt, so is this the kind of dish that women seem to prefer centered on?

Wine seems to be used in the sauce as well.

Either way I bring up the story and it doesn't come, so I guess I'm not using wine because I'm here.

I think the ingredients I have are permeating the market, and someone named the head chef researches and uses them independently.

Probably limited to the luxury food market, but what an emotion to think my job is changing the end table this way.

"Wine... I thought it was just a sinister drink, but it's surprising when you drink it like this."

Luke and others are drinking with Gubi Gubi.

"Mr. Yuri doesn't drink?

Seeing that I had no mouth at all, Her Majesty the Queen asked.

It's hard to say.

I can pretend to drink when it's a banquet with lots of people.

"Excuse me, it's because I'm not supposed to drink until I'm twenty."

"Oh yeah...? How could that happen again?

"In some book, you find stories about how drinking from a young age can have a negative effect on your brain... and then you try to do that, and it feels like it's been going on forever"

I would no longer try to be disciplined, but I felt like continuing because I was almost twenty years old.

You've got a few months.

"Oh, well, I'll get you a replacement drink."

"Then with the lemon beverage earlier -"

I just said, the door opened.

It's Carlia.

Looks like he's back.

On Carlia's desk, the previous plate was lowered, but the meat dish is set aside.

Carlia looked through the room and walked once back to her seat.

But he did not sit down, and stood in front of the stowed chair, staring at Carol.

"Sister."

There is no smile on that face.

What. The battle begins.

"What's up? You need to talk to me about something?

Carol said as she shifted the chair slightly and pointed half towards Carlia's side.

I guess it's going to be a fight because I say such togetherness things.

Well, but I guess it's an unchangeable stance now.

I guess we've been sisters for eighteen years now.

Much longer than my relationship with Myalo.

"Why did your sister go out with Yuri? You knew you liked me."

What, are you gonna talk about that on this occasion?

I'm so awkward.

"Not now...... no, should we talk properly at this time? Even so, nothing but that I loved Yuri too..."

"Why did you take it? That's how you take everything I want, and what's the fun?

Are you kidding me?

Take it from the side or whatever, I've never been your boyfriend.

"Nothing has ever crossed Yuri's mind leaned on you. That's why I didn't want to support you either. Of course, I wouldn't have taken Yuri for granted if he liked you..."

Are you not confident there?

"Your sister is my sister...? I hope you gave my sister about one, about one thing I wanted. I have it all. Why can't you do that...?

"Ugh..."

Does Carol even have a headache, she rubbed her fingers between her eyebrows?

"Okay. What do you want?

Oh, do I give it to you?

Maybe it's me.

"Give me Yuri. I've always liked them since I met them when I started school... so"

"Okay."

Do you understand?

"Honestly!? So you're not getting married."

"Originally, if Yuri's feelings were in Carlia, she wouldn't marry. What do you think, do you have feelings?

Carol's been turning this way.

It's me.

No, no, no, no, you're swinging at me.

What the hell is this development?

Will you put this place away without hurting Carlia?

How can you do this without hissing me?

It's too difficult.

It's harder than war.

Hmmm......

"... think about it, we've known each other a long time. Were you the first to see the eagle's takeoff and landing site?"

"Yeah...... right. I miss it."

Carlia said with a slight scuffle.

Cut only at this moment, she is indeed a beautiful girl......

"I knew you had a thing for me. If you didn't like it, you wouldn't ask me to go out with you in person."

I didn't think it would last this long.

"Damn, they made me struggle."

"But you can't get married"

"What..."

Carlia's grin froze.

I knew it would happen...

But why do I think I can handle problems of a romantic nature with such schemes?

Even myself, if someone did the same thing to me, when it comes to liking that guy and getting married, that wouldn't happen.

I knew you didn't understand spirituality.

I feel like I'm dealing with another human being.

"I've never had romantic feelings for you. It's not Carol's fault. Carol had quite a few other relationships with women. But I had no idea I was going out with you, going out with you, getting married."

"... what the hell, that. So you're saying I'm not one of the many others?

"Carlia, you are attractive enough. You don't have to focus on me, there's a lot of better people. Look for it."

Carlia's face is stifled with anger.

Hmmm......

I guess I failed.

"...... ok. Then make me queen. That's how much you can do."

Turning again to Carol, he mentioned another hell of a thing.

"... why do you want to be queen? I'm willing to help you live while you play. Queen is such a hassle, and it's just hard."

Carol says with sincere doubt.

Blah, blah. I agree.

I want to tell you to look at your own mother.

You must be exhausted.

Do you even think of the throne of Queen as a magical title, where you can say as much wagamama, where you can spend as much money, where the people will listen to anything you say?

That may be the case in such a blessed time, but how is war going to be handled?

"I don't have anything, so I hope you got about the Queen's chair!

"Carlia"

Coming here, the queen opened her mouth, who was also splendidly still observing the situation.

I would have liked to talk about it.

Ray.

"Carol got both the Queen's seat and Yuri's own. Did I order Yuri to marry Carol? I don't have that kind of compulsion. So does the Queen's seat. Carlia, if you thought you were more worthy of a queen, I was letting you carry on the trail. Don't tell Carol to make any effort, just like he grabbed the good fortune of coming down from heaven"

What is the dissatisfaction with Carlia?

I have heard that human beings, when their income rises and their life ranks rise, are not met simply by luxury, but by a corresponding desire for fame and honor.

I wonder if it's because of that.

Being in a position to be respected by anyone named princess does not unconditionally earn praise or prestige.

Because it is not a position, but a thing of a nature that is paid for competence and personality.

In a position like Carlia's, that may turn out to be a terrible imbalance.

"Mother has no idea... how patient I have been..."

"... Carlia, I'm sorry. Let's discuss this again, shall we? I'm sure we all have a way to be happy."

The queen said in an unusual and gentle voice.

"Okay. I won't ask for it anymore."

What did you find out?

"Hey, sorry"

So Luke spoke up.

Somehow the voice wasn't the usual tone, it was like a trembling voice.

When you look at your complexion, it's bright blue.

"Hey... Father, what's wrong!

"I feel sick... to wash my hands"

I stood up from the chair, one step warm, out of balance, and on my knees.

What the fuck?

Per meal?

"Lord Luke?

"Luke, what's wrong?

The queen and Suzuya can be sent for a moment to notice an anomaly.

"Ah."

Suzuya, failing to get up, made a shitty noise and fell from chair to chair.

What the fuck?

Couples...... Could it be the same symptoms as Luke?

... What's happening?

Poison?

Paralysis symptoms mean neurotoxicity?

I try to open or close my own hands.

Totally, nothing happened.

I'll take a look at the queen.

He's doing the same thing I do with a face that doesn't know what's going on.

This one, my hands were trembling and I couldn't seem to move too much to grip.

... It just doesn't work for me?

Something I didn't eat... booze?

"Wang Sword! Let your father and your mother throw up what they ate! Immediately!!

I screamed without standing up.

Because of the lack of instructions, the maids just stood there and looked at me with a glimpse.

"What if I just stood there! They poisoned me! If you didn't do it, move it! Put your hands in your mouth and make me throw up what I ate!

That's what I said, I saw Carol's table sitting next to me.

Wine is about a third less.

I think I drank it.

"Carol, I'm sorry"

"Uhm."

I stuck my finger in Carol's mouth and touched the back of her throat.

"The one that's left over, grab some water! It's obvious!"

"Eh."

Carol leaks a whimper, but there's no sign of vomiting.

Seems painful and has grabbed my hand.

"Be patient with me."

Carol panicked half way and her teeth hit my hand.

He continued to irritate the back of his throat, even if he didn't mind being bit.

"Uh-huh."

The diarrhea was scattered all over the floor.

All right.

I abandoned Carol for a moment and looked around the room.

The maids, who do not know which is the king's sword, accompany the queen, Luke, and Suzuya to produce the contents of their stomachs.

To his dismay, Carlia did not flee, but looked frightened at what she had done to herself in the corner of the room.

"Oops."

I approached Carlia, grabbed her thin neck, and pressed her against the wall to slap her.

"You poisoned me."

Thinking about it from the circumstances, I can only think of about Carlia.

- The queen?

No way.

What happens when you poison the Howe family in this situation?

The New World?

No, because it's weird that I'm the only one left.

Even if it was unexpected that I didn't drink, Wang Sword wouldn't follow my instructions.

"No, no..."

Are you going to hang up Shira?

I grabbed a glass of wine from Carol's seat as I grabbed Carlia's neck.

Loosen your hands and hit Carlia's lips.

"Drink."

Carlia's expression changed.

He closed his lips perfectly and looked like he had been poked at the murder weapon.

Intuitive.

This guy did it.

"Drink. If you can't take it, give me the antidote."

"With, without..."

"Then die"

I pushed Carlia's neck even harder against the wall.

"Guh."

"Die, give me an antidote, or choose your own."

There's no way you don't have an antidote.

Given the development of the earlier story, Carol would have intended to treat you with an antidote if she had turned her opinion over.

Or maybe he was going to negotiate the antidote to the terms of exchange from now on.

Either way, it's unfolding like a fool who's not good enough, but I guess in this guy's optimistic brain, it was supposed to work.

"Ku...... kaha......"

When his breath ran out and he suffered, Carlia caught a pocket and dragged one vial out, rumbling with butterflies.

Too bad.

A red vial spills out of my hand as soon as I get out of my pocket.

Along with that, a can of iron like Skittle, which was in the same pocket, also fell on the floor.

I try to throw Carlia away and get my hands off my neck.

"Gahaha! gehoggyho"

Karlya is falling down.

"Wang sword! If anyone's familiar with poison, come on!

When I screamed like that, a king sword came.

It's Tyreto.

I quickly picked up the fallen bottle and can and put it on my desk.

I guess one is poison and the other is an antidote.

"This is the poison that was found!

"You know what it's like?

Tileto glanced at the poison placed in the glass vial.

"Damn!

I slap my desk and regret it.

What the fuck?

"What's up? What poison is that?"

"It's a red cannolia... I can't believe I let you drink something like this"

Never heard of it.

"Tell me what you got."

"It's poison with poison mushrooms in the shellfish poison. There's no antidote."

No antidote?

There's no way.

"Well, what is this?"

I pointed to a can of iron like a skittle.

If what's in the glass bottle is poison, this would be the antidote.

"His Highness Carlia had it?

"That's right. If I threatened to give you the antidote, I did."

You can't have it because of the situation.

... There's no way I don't have it.

"... I have no choice"

When Tileto opened the lid of the can of iron, he contained the liquid in his mouth.

Soon buh, and spit it out on the floor.

"It's my son. You're a tricab."

... what?

Tileto inhaled the poison left in his mouth and threw it away peppy with his saliva.

"No way!

Carlia pinched her mouth from the side.

No way?

You thought this guy was an antidote.

Come to think of it, I find it odd that you have two kinds of poison.

"... my tongue is getting paralyzed. Definitely."

"So, wasn't it a mistake to say red cannolia?

Actually, maybe the bottle is more of an antidote to tricabuto.

Tyreto gave a twisted look,

"The mite shellfish poison is red. A mushroom called the umbrella of death was dusted and soaked in the venom, a red cannolia. I know because I've made it. Besides, there's no antidote to mushrooms."

If you look, at the bottom of the glass vial, there was a build-up of things like sediment.

Even though the bottle broke out on the way, it wasn't mixed up like starch, and when you see where it seemed to precipitate immediately, it does look like a finely dusted mushroom, too.

Shit.

Not just neurotoxicity, but a mix of hemolytic poisons and gut-breaking poisons?

"Force me to drink the water and let me throw up again. Wash your stomach."

"I know."

Tileto flipped himself and went back to the life-saving task.

When I look at Carlia, I open the window and I'm throwing something outside.

"What the fuck!

I kicked Carlia as hard as I could.

"Ca-!!"

Momentum rolled to the ground.

You bastard.

What's the signal?

"Someone's paying for it."

Come to think of it, there's no way this fool would do this alone.

- A witch.

I immediately thought of it.

Deceive the weak-minded Carlia, blow in the convenient words, fake it as an antidote and give her the poison...

That's what I'm going to do.

And I'm not going to be able to do anything but witch.

At least, because I have to be unaware of today's dinner party, which I didn't make public.

There is no such clever imitation for a general who does not have a tsute in the royal castle.

I'm still a witch.

Does that mean you're going to put Carlia in power after handling this murder in an accident?

Then both the Howe family and the Queen need to be sure to end it.

Do you want me to leave you drinking without poisoning you?

No one knows how much poison they drink.

I might not say it because I was letting it get into my diet instead of booze.

It's too uncertain.

Even in a few days, if either the Queen or Carol were alive, Carlia's reign would not be recognized and the plan would be broken.

If you do poorly, Carlia could be executed.

If Luke or I survive, the Howe will wake up the army and come north.

Then it will end under three days of heaven.

Shit.

So, are you going to use a Kingsguard?

Was that a signal?

"Tileto! You're still here!

I looked around screaming, and Tileto was just giving the queen who put her to sleep on the floor a drink of water.

Are the symptoms progressing?

"What?"

"Call the king's sword representative."

"I don't need it. Tell me."

"Carlia poisoned me at the behest of a witch. They're gonna bring up the army and attack us here."

"What!?

The Royal Castle Island is quite a heavily guarded facility, but the Kingsguard's Second Army is inside the island and the Royal Castle is not directly protected by the Wall.

Of course, the First Army under the Queen's knees is pretty much in the Royal Castle and would resist if it hadn't gone back to sleep, but that number is known.

The main unit is garrisoning a fortress elsewhere on Royal Castle Island.

If we distribute soldiers in advance, the Second Army will not collide directly with the First Army, only electrically attack the Royal Castle, kick hundreds of resistance and kill us.

After that, if you raise Carlia as the only king, and let her touch you, the First Army can no longer move.

"Consolidate your defenses and activate them if you have defenses. Don't make me come here."

When I saw Carol, the maid was drinking water.

He still seems conscious, but he looks spicy.

I wanted to scream.

Are you sure the Second Army's coming?

If so, no matter how much the King's Sword was able to thwart the invasion, does that make sense?

It's a rat in a bag.

Break through the siege and run?

Everyone but me is neurotoxic, and I can't even walk.

I'm a pregnant woman leading up to Suzuya and Carol, and Suzuya has a pretty big stomach.

It's hard to say it wasn't poisonous.

You want to run away with them all?

There's no way I can.

You want the Howe army to help you?

It will take days before they come. There are about a hundred soldiers in the apartment.

What do I do?
