Ardis and Rona kicked the enemies in Tria Castle's inner courtyard, entering the castle from the front, and stepped deeper into the castle as they repeatedly fought the soldiers they encountered.

There aren't many enemies left in the castle.

Most of the deployable troops were in the inner yard and outside the gates.

I tried to explore the surrounding magic power, but I could only find weak reactions.

Most of them were ordinary Aldis soldiers or otherwise non-combatant servants.

Nothing wrong with that.

As for Aldis, if they attacked us from the other side, we would just repel them, but we had no intention of doing anything about the servants.

I'd rather have them evacuate the castle.

Aldis's character is not so distorted that he chases an irresistible human and immerses himself in pleasure.

I wonder which one is up and which one is down?

Isn't it upstairs? Isn't the powerful like high places?

"If King Toria is strong enough, it would be easier to find him."

Nere once referred to King Toria as "a lowly, greedy pig without intelligence".

From the words, it can be seen that it is less than an individual combat ability.

Perhaps Aldis captured a number of magic reactions.

Most of them are soldiers and servants.

Ardis had no choice but to move towards the upper level of the castle, checking the room with the magic reaction one by one, and crushing the possibility.

Of course, most of them were hidden servants trying to escape the battle.

You're running and hiding, aren't you?

When the number of rooms checked exceeded thirty, Rona gnawed at the enemy in a disgusting tone.

I don't think the royalty would like to stand on their own arrowheads in this situation right now.

"You're not in Grok." The disciple with the color of his hair actively tries to stand at the forefront. "

"Minerva is not a royalty, but a daughter of the Duke. It's still going to make a difference."

"If you have the right to inherit the throne, isn't it half royalty?"

"I don't know that much about you."

Lorna was the one who ended the conversation in such a way that it didn't seem like she was in the middle of an enemy field.

Well, that's better than that.

Lorna stopped walking down the aisle.

Isn't the reaction here suspicious?

It's just a wall that doesn't have a door on its face.

On the other side of the wall, there were three magic reactions that seemed to be humans.

What is suspicious is the position and structure of the space.

In a nutshell, I can't find the entrance.

It was natural that there was no door to enter through the aisle, but when Aldis peeked into the front and rear rooms, he could not see the door leading beyond the wall.

Perhaps the staircase leads from the upper or lower level of the room, but it doesn't usually make such a strange building.

The absence of adjacent passageways and entrances from rooms gives a glimpse of the will to hide something.

An obviously unnatural space spreads beyond the wall, and there is a magical reaction between humans and the walls.

If that's the case...

It's like a hidden room.

It would be natural to reach the conclusion that.

"It's boring..."

On the other hand, Lorna was unhappy because none of the magic reactions beyond the wall seemed strong.

Even the strongest of the magic reactions, Aldis was no match for Moore.

Lorna was disappointed that she couldn't expect much from the fight.

I'll break it down.

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Listening to Rona, who seemed not very comfortable, Ardis magically blew up the wall separating the passage from the concealed room.

The wall collapses with a roar.

At the same time that the stone blows up, it turns into fine pebbles and dust, blocking the view like a smoke screen for a moment.

The smoke calmed down and it was the three men who could see beyond the open line of sight.

To hide, Aldis sees a sumptuous interior.

Three people surrounded the overly decorative desk, and the men who were sitting on the decorated chairs drinking alcohol looked at us with surprise.

"What, what is it!?"

A fat, mid-forties man looks at Aldis with his eyes rounded.

In his hand was a finely decorated, clear glass, and the liquid, which had been reduced to half, was shaking in the vessel.

Perhaps this man is King Toria.

Are you blushing because you were drinking alcohol? On the table and on the shelf on the wall, there were lined up liquor bottles that seemed to be expensive.

”Hmm, even though my men are fighting for their lives... it's a lot of booze to hide in here”

Ardis threw it up without trying to hide his feelings of contempt.

Aldis, the most physically fit of the three, yelled at the elderly man.

Who the hell are you?!

Aldis recognized the man.

Before I met the twins, I saw Aldis' face when he was based in Tria.

He's definitely a general of the Toria Army - and he pulls out memories of the time, and at the same time loses interest.

"Come on, Rona, that's your prey."

"Ehh, is that the only one?"

Decide that it doesn't matter and throw a round at your partner, Lorna.

It is true that Ardis promised to give the strongest of the guards beside King Toria to Lorna, but Ardis did not think that there was only such an escort.

Nevertheless, a promise is a promise.

The only people present are King Toria, the general, and an old man who is clearly a civil servant.

Regardless of the strength of the general, at least the elderly civil servants have no place to consider.

Inevitably, the general's opponent was Rona, but no matter what, it didn't seem to be the opponent that could eliminate Rona's frustration.

"You impotent bastard! It is before the king!"

The general who stood up and tried to pull his sword out of the sheath of his waist was suddenly blown up the next moment and pounded into a shelf lined by the wall.

"Ahhh, you're already finished..."

Rona sighed in desperation.

King Toria and the old civil servant were dumbfounded with their mouths open, but they could not help but see where the general had been sent.

The General was blown away by the shock waves caused by the magic Rona unchallenged.

Perhaps you don't even understand what happened.

Seeing the General suddenly incapacitated and motionless, the two of them try to escape.

"I won't let you go."

But the journey was lightly blocked by Lona.

Ardis interrupts King Toria's escape attempt by holding Rona immobilized.

Heehee!

Perhaps the figure of Aldis, who stood with a red sword sticking out, was reminiscent of death, and King Toria screamed patheticly and passionately.

Aldis slowly approached the unimpressive King of Toria.

"Blah, rude! I'm the king!"

"I thought it was because the general there just said [King's Majesty], but it is." It saves me the trouble of checking. "

"Is that your attitude towards the king!?"

"So what's the matter? You may be the king, but you're not my lord. In the first place, the authority of the king applies to mercenaries. It's also an antagonistic opponent."

"Hey, hey...?"

Perhaps Aldis's words were so unexpected, that the moment King Toria took them, he was furious.

A mercenary is going to shield me!?

Seems like your proud army has been destroyed as a mercenary?

King Triya warped his face to Aldis, who refuted with a cool face.

"Ugh...!"

King Toria shouted as he groaned at Aldis with hatred.

"Were you hired by the remnants of the Nagrath Kingdom? Don't waste any time now!"

“No, I didn't get hired or asked to do it.”

"Then why are you doing this!?" You have a grudge against Toria! "

"Grudge, hey... if you ask me, I'm sure there is."

Aldis takes his eyes off King Toria and digs up his memories.

"It was a crime against the soldiers, because they dressed up as child abductees, and Toria was chased, and finally she was raided in the calm forest of the Caucasus, and she decided to abandon her house. Then you've been sent by Groko's army recently....."

Aldis counted the torments he had received from King Toria.

"He ruined everything we tried to calm down." Don't you think it's good enough to buy resentment? "

"Is that...?"

Aldis asked, and King Toria gave a bewildered expression.

From that, I can see that I don't understand who Aldis is.

"Oh, I don't think you care much about mercenaries anyway." Do you still not know when you see this? "

Aldis pulled out about five swords from the gate and floated them in the sky as if they were surrounding him with sword magic.

After seeing this, it seems that King Toria finally realized what kind of person he was before was called by the world.

"No way... a sword, a magician? A thousand swords, a magician?... that means you, that woman!"

Looking at the flying sword floating in the sky, it seems that King Toria finally understood the identity of Ardis. The next moment, he revealed his anger and stared at him.

That woman is probably Neret.

Ardis himself had never known King Toria before, nor had he had any direct contact with him.

I've had a bit of a fight with that general who's gone unconscious and stuck in the shelf right next to him.

But on the other hand, it seems that Neret also had direct contact with him, who was once the Marquis of Tria, and caused a struggle that he did not know in detail but was not in any way familiar with.

The Aldis were pursued by Toria, and the Toria army joined the raid in the forest of the Cossus, because, as a matter of fact, the struggle between Neret and Toria had already begun.

"It may look like an accessory to you, but it doesn't matter to the annoyed person. I'm sure I had to thank you one day."

"No... but I did!"

Ardis strikes at King Toria's opposing arm with a red sword.

”Giggle!”

I didn't put too much effort into it.

Probably no bones broken, but it worked well for King Toria, who seemed unfamiliar with the pain.

"If it rains quietly, I won't take my life." Choose between living in a castle and a country or dying here. ”

Surrounded by Aldis' thrusting red sword and flying sword in all directions, King Toria opened his mouth and closed it for a while with a pale expression, but finally accepted the recommendation with a sense of suspicion.

"...... okay, let's get down"

"Your Majesty..."

The old civil servant who remained captured by Rona spoke sadly, but King Toria, who dropped his shoulder, replied as if he had given up.

"It's all right, Costus."

"Very well, I will hold you captive."

Unexpectedly feeling that he had surrendered so suddenly, Ardis slowly approached King Triya and suddenly felt a strange expansion of magic power from the opponent.

Al!

Rona flashed a short warning as though she felt the magic power increase just like Aldis did.

Die!

King Toria took something out of his pocket like a scepter.

Judge!

When King Triya exclaims the words of the Activation Key, the magic light compressed from the tip of the Wand is emitted towards Aldis.

The unexpected blow was a rather sophisticated sorcery attack.

Most humans would have been fatally wounded by the light in the blink of an eye, but it doesn't work for Aldis, who can barely unconsciously unfold a barrier through the dead ends.

King Toria's unleashed attack did not reach Ardis, but collided with a reflectively unfolding magical barrier and disappeared, diffusing a pale purple color.

"Ah... ahhh..."

I didn't think it would be prevented.

King Toria loses sight of Aldis, who stands flat in front of him and doesn't seem to have any injuries.

Aldis's eyes at him are cold.

"That's a terrible scandal." The last thing I bought to keep my life was a tool that I bought with money. "

King Toria removes his staff from the words.

I don't know if I didn't attack because the light just came out in a row, or because I understood that it wouldn't work for Aldis.

However, King Toria's eyes had an even stronger colour of fear than before.

Aldis takes one of the flying swords.

If it snowed quietly, I was sanded on my hind legs in favor of saving my life.

As expected, I can't look any sweeter.

"I......"

Has such an idea been conveyed to Ardis? King Toria begins to beg for life on his knees.

"Help me! I surrender!" I'll give you all my property, my castle, my territory! That's why only life...! "

"Enough. It was a mistake to try to settle for peace. You like being a king, don't you? If the throne is so sad, I'll leave it as it is."

Oh, really?

King Toria, who conveniently understood Ardis' words, had hope in his eyes, but the words that followed suddenly fogged up.

"Ah, you must leave this world as a king."

”Eek!”

Coldly abandoned, King Triya asks Ardis for forgiveness desperately, without shame, without external apparitions.

"Forgive me... I don't want to die yet!"

"I gave you the opportunity to do so once. You're the one who let it go."

And when he spat and cast away unto the king of Toria, Aldis barely lifted his head with the sword in his hand.

Thus, Frederick, the first king of the Kingdom of Tria, finished his short reign less than a year after his reign.

As a result, the Toria Kingdom, which was founded until the Nagras Kingdom was overturned, lost its existence and became known as a bubble nation due to its too short history.
