The Magician Wants Normality
Cavalier's Rustic Question
You're getting along with His Majesty King Zebrest, aren't you?
Yes.
I nod because it is a fact. I wasn't expecting to be asked right now, so I was a little surprised.
... but...
In this particular case - related to Harvis - Rudolph... or considering the attitude of full cooperation shown by Zebrest, it must be natural in a sense.
Originally, Ilfena and Zebrest were friendly countries. However, no matter how friendly the country is, whether Rudolph is personally a demon king or a friend, it cannot be overlooked that "he was attacked in the country he visited".
The Knights' questions came with it. No matter how much, if the response is too gentle,
The demon king is also close to Rudolph, but in a sense, he's my brother.
"Oh... I know somehow"
The knight smiled bitterly as he imagined it.
The demon king in Ilfena is the second prince, and from the perspective of their lord, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he is the "brother".
My family wasn't so bad, and I had never heard of the inferiority of the prince to the demon king.
However, it's just that "I've never heard of it" -- the Demon King doesn't want me to hear anything like that -- so he might be whispering in the shadows.
However, the demon king had the difficulty of [intimidation because the magic power is too high].
It seemed that more of the demon king's notoriety came from him alone than from his brother's superiority and inferiority.
In addition, these sources are Knight Dormitory Face.
"If you feel like it, just tell me to retaliate."
... so.
Such a demon king, but Zebrest, especially the people who are on Rudolph's side, is recognized as "a friend like brother to Rudolph".
Seeing Rudolph's situation, I repeatedly held my mouth shut, and that's what happened.
When my dispatch was completed with [because His Highness Ershuon sent me], I felt that I was trusted.
However, even the demon king could not grasp the personality of a black cat.
The more the Demon King with the right personality held his head, the more he was surrounded by Transcendental Freedom.
The result was a victory for the Rudolph Faction, so the Zebrests couldn't say anything!
At that time, the only thing that was said was "As expected, the flavor material chosen by His Highness Elshion", and that was the only compliment that came out.
……
For the time being, I'm sorry. Well, seriously, I'm sorry.
I will reflect a little bit on the struggles of the production personnel, such as reports.
"By the way... this is something we were very suspicious about."
"... nh?"
I remembered that time and said, "I'm really sorry for those who had a hard time on the side of my side! I thought, 'The knight spoke to me.
"I feel like the Chancellor of Zebrest doesn't tolerate your attitude." No matter how close you say you are to Master Rudolph, I feel like you're being told to show some courtesy. "
"Oh... I can imagine it somehow."
The Prime Minister certainly seems annoyed at such things. Felix's attitude at the time of his stupidity was broken, and it was basically in the direction of "being polite to people close to him".
Yet, my attitude towards Rudolph, as we have publicly stated to each other, is completely unchallenged.
That was demonstrated this time as well.
Rudolph, the king of one country, was used as a messenger to the demon king.
To dine together, Al and I pressed into the room with a handy dish.
A grown man named Rudolph lent him a stuffed animal called "Because he looks lonely."
……
"It's like a loser."
As a knight, despite such an attitude, it must be strange that the Prime Minister of Zebrest did not come to protest.
I mean, I just noticed it.
For the first time, Rudolph and I thought that this kind of attitude was "such an unavoidable attitude even when protested" because the knight told us to drive normally.
"Ahh... the Demon King and the Knight Dormitory are used to it... or even more so, so you didn't think so."
“Yes, we thought you would send a letter of apology to Zebrest.”
"I see. As a guardian, not a prince, or as my keeper, I thought I needed an apology."
"I don't think that's what you normally think..."
Knight, don't look so far away...?
Well, I know how that feels, so I'll keep quiet.
If you say... in the world, or if you think with common sense, no matter how much Rudolph himself forgives, there is another country's eyes.
Even if you cannot be tasted as the king of a country, you must not forgive it.
... but...
It was the case of "the king of his own country and his friends in other countries".
Perhaps the Prime Minister's perception was different. Of course, only for me.
"... well, did you know that Rudolph and I are said to be 'as close as the twins'?"
"Oh, yeah, I know."
Good. Then we'll talk soon.
"Earlier, I said 'Demon King is a friend like my brother', but I have a similar perception."
"Well, I know that, but..."
"The recognition that Prime Minister Zebrest gives to [us two playing together] is that [two toddlers who play together and do extraordinary things when they let go]."
How's it going?
Didn't you understand? The knights' voices were beautifully humming.
"Toddlers don't know what to make, do they?" Moreover, since you move around, if you take your eyes off it, you'll play a terrible prank. That's it, that's it! "
……
Or, 'Puppies and kittens chattering with cappuccinos.'
Don't you see what I mean? The knights remained puzzled.
Yeah! Yeah, I know how that feels.
But that's the truth. At last, the demon king stands in the position of [brother of the twins with hands].
"When I first went to Zebrest, I had all I wanted to send to the side room." Rudolph seemed to be under a lot of stress, too, and said, "Good, do more! It's like that."
It's not a lie. Rudolph was really tired with his constant dislike and murderous intentions towards them.
Even if a few of the screws on my head were loose, it was not a strange situation.... just leave it to me.
"'I want to do it too! I said," Well, let's have a drink in my room in the harem! Anyone with a king in the side room who is meant to be can definitely catch it!' or 'Who should we play with next? I spent it like that. "
"Wait, the side rooms aren't toys!?"
“It was a toy for us at the time. That's why I was recognized as a" toddler who plays with each other "."
--You know, toddlers aren't very familiar with it, so don't you kill bugs in peace or do cruel things?
After that, the knight could only understand for a moment.
"No, no, no! You're grown-ups!" Your toddlers are innocent extensions, but you guys were doing it in bad faith! "
"...... Damn"
I don't tongue!
I knew you wouldn't fool me. However, based on those actions, it is true that the Prime Minister treats them as "twins who like to play pranks".
"But that's the truth, isn't it?" When I take a nap with Rudolph, the Chancellor sometimes comes to see how things are going and hangs them up. ”
Ehhh...
"The people who saw it say... 'Mother, you'!"
"Mom... Mom..."
"Sometimes I call it 'Okan'." The Prime Minister is tough on people and on himself, but basically, it's better to take care of him. If the target is toddlers, it seems that this tendency is even stronger. "
……
Perhaps it was unexpected to the knights, and they were staring at me with a dazed expression.
Well, well, basically, the prime minister doesn't break his harsh expression, so it seems that he was sometimes told "ruthlessly", and I can understand the feeling that I can't imagine.
But for me and Rudolph + α, you're a good caretaker and an overprotective guardian.
I can count on you, everybody's mother. That's the Chancellor of Zebrest.
For the Chancellor, the four children are me, Rudolph, Seil, and Eliza.
”When you take your eyes off me, I don't know what you're going to do!" It's said. "
Even so, the Prime Minister's struggle continued without anybody reflecting on it. I'm dealing with Sail's brother, but the attitude is completely embedded in our [problem child] side.
"...... I wonder if the Prime Minister of Zebrest was......"
Just like the Demon King, you're a loving person.
That's why I stopped looking at you with that 'you guys are just problem kids' look.
I... we're doing our job properly!?
