The Little Duchess’ Home Tutor

Lesson 32: The Merciful Demon King

"That's..."

When I heard Arthur's words, I couldn't stop. [M]

I don't know how much power the demons had back then. I don't know... but Ether Heart went out of her way to give you some advice.

- Did you utter a rumor against the king of that country? Besides, the Commander-in-Chief??

Looking at my expression, Arthur shrugged his shoulders.

"It's stupid, isn't it? To paraphrase it, the accusations are unquenchable, and the diplomatic absurdity is great. It's not strange that the end of the war was opened on the spot."

From what I've told you--Did the Demon King weigh himself?

Yeah.

The hero looked up at the night sky.

Countless stars are shining.

"'Demon King is the most noble, merciful and lawful person in this world.'" The words in the ancestor's diary must have been true. At that time, the border line seemed to be more westward than it is today, but there was also a growing demand for westward movement in the Demon King's territory. Even in such a situation, 'the battle is worthless, worthless and meaningless. I didn't raise my country to do such a thing, "and suppressed the people? It's a big deal."

…………

I shut up and drank tea. [M]

After reading the history books of the War of the Demon Lords, I became convinced that I had somehow understood them.

... isn't that more sensible than the human side?

Arthur sets fire to the branches of a tree that he had set aside. Patchy, firewood in the flames made a noise.

"The Demon King did not take a provocation. However, both the southern and eastern empires struck the family of witches who lived quietly - and the Rotlingen Imperial Leadership Department regarded this as an" opportunity to encounter a thousand people "."

"...... Two virtual enemies comparable to themselves have brought war." Now, there's no need to worry about being stuck in the back. "

"Phew... that's right. Allen? Why don't you stop working as a tutor and become a soldier or a politician in our country? If you're the boss, you're not going to die in vain."

"It's not worth every minute." I'm doing everything in my power to take care of my children and their corrupt relationship. "

"Oh, I'm sorry."

Sighing, Laranore's hero begins to tell a faint and epic story of the war.



At the time, Rotlingen was beginning to fall apart while dominating more than half of the world.

The territory is enlarged and there is no hope of further expansion.

A few generations ago, the talent of Kira Star also became a small grain - a trend that lightened history.

Meanwhile, the demons that formed their own culture in the west of the continent and were growing gradually, but surely, were thriving.

― ― ― It was the veins of magic stones found near the border that sparked.

In itself, it is something to celebrate, and the resources themselves are inexhaustible.

The problem here... was that the veins straddled Rotlingen and the Demon King Realm.

It is believed that the veins on the Demon King's side outweigh several steps in terms of the quality of the magic stone.

After reading the report of the scholar who discovered the veins, the Imperial Head Office stood out. At the same time, I was driven by impatience.

In this situation, aren't the demons more profitable?

... Oh, yeah. At this point, the mining hasn't started.

In spite of everything!

The Imperial Leadership Department chose to gain a documentary benefit, and a "limited war" against the demons was decided here.

--Without realizing that there are opponents in the war and it is not the will of the Empire to decide whether it is "limited"!!!!!

Hundreds of thousands of Imperial forces, commanded by the Commander-in-Chief, crossed the border and first captured an area of mining veins on the Demon King's side.

And at this point, I publicly executed the demonic envoy who was still sent to seek dialogue.

...... I can't help but feel mysterious.

Perhaps it has been erased from the history books of future generations because many people were desperate for the stupidity of the human species.

At this point, the Empire was still in high spirits.

The biggest and most powerful Rotlingen in the world, the barbarians of the West will not face their teeth. Even if I complain, I will respond to the territorial devolution.

Even though the Emperor's family inherited what kind of person the Demon King was, he was a monster!

Having heard of the execution of the envoy, the Demon King immediately sent out the only one, the Demon Capital.

The movement was as right as lightning.

It was said that even the Demon King SS could not follow [the most sophisticated on the continent].

And then --- for the first time, humans faced the Merciful Demon King on the battlefield.



When Arthur had finished talking so quickly, he tilted his mug.

He broke his expression and apologized.

"... sorry, I've talked too much again"

“It's okay, rather, tell me more.”

"If you say that, it'll make you feel better."...... I told you where the Demon King emitted the Demon City. "

“Yes. Geographically, where are they?”

I waved my left hand and projected a map of the western continent into the air.

I think it's probably more of a western story than the current border...

Take the branches and Arthur points.

"This place is called the [Black River] - now it's known as the [Blood River]." From there, head west to the 'Holy Land'. The place where the world's largest tree child grows on the continent. There was a vein. "

The branches move on the map.

Blood River, beyond the Holy Land - once, Howard and Linster moved closer to the Magic City and stopped.

I open my eyes. [M] Was the Demon King Realm much smaller than it is now?

"This is it. The Imperial forces that captured all of the veins were gone." Let's keep this up and capture the Demon City! He said, "If you raise the battle result, there will be no complaints."... there came the Demon King. "

Arthur stood up, holding a pair of swords on a chair.

Slowly pull it out.

"As I told you, the Imperial Army has a total of hundreds of thousands." The demon king was the only one---... no, the other one?...... I heard that there was a cat walking with gray hair on both legs. "

"? A bipedal cat, is it? Not a beastman?"

I imagine it in my head.

No, well... it might be cute.

The hero wields his twin swords like a dance. A little bit like Lydia.

"That's what was written in the ancestor's diary. The Imperial Army responded with a concerted magic activation to the demon king who called himself honestly and asked why he had killed the messenger."

The dance was stopped and the twin swords were held in the sheath with a clear sound.

Arthur sits on his chair and tells me with pleasure.

"In the end, the demon king's hand, which appeared loosely from the sand smoke, which was unlikely to be alive, was clamped with a great sword and a long spear. And --- she laughed lonely. No matter where people are born, the times are not much different.... I wanted to do it peacefully, but I didn't have to. Once, it was called [Ten Masterpieces], and I want to show you that I have forgotten my power and history!!!!!"
