We Live in Dragon’s Peak
Dark Clouds
The giant demon king greeted us and left Charlotte for Charlotte to leave immediately.
"... erm, was our report so important?"
When it comes to the giant demon king's long-distance travel, there's no need to take a horse-drawn carriage out of the palace entrance. The demon king, who created a breathless aura in front of us, disappeared into the darkness. I somehow asked Charlotte who had seen it off.
No, I know.
The fact that the island and all of its inhabitants suddenly disappeared, and the events that the Emperor tried to keep secret until he used his army and the subordinate of the Martial God, couldn't be a small problem.
Still, this disturbance was too much of a grab, so I wanted to check with Charlotte, who was close to the Demon King.
Charlotte then smiled further and narrowed her usual threads, telling me with pleasure.
"Yes, I'll do that." If it hadn't been for your reports, the demon country might have disappeared in the worst case scenario. ”
"Huh!?"
We have dotted eyes.
Could the demon country have been extinguished?
There is a demonic country that is far more glorious than this human country?
"No, no, no, that's too much, isn't it?" Certainly, the demon king advised that if he went too far into the fight between the demons and the gods, he would get involved in the war. "
Demons and gods have waged countless wars.
Thousands of years ago, the Demons moved from the East to this land because, although there were many factors, they were eventually pursued by the Divine Clan.
And it is said that even after the rise of the kingdom in this land, there have been many wars with the gods of this land.
"... oh, but I see. In the war between the demons and the gods, the kingdom of the gods was destroyed over and over again, right?"
I've only heard of it a little bit, haven't I?
Charlotte became a great demon marshal and led the demon army to intercept the great army of the gods.
Was it about 500 years ago?
Louilala wasn't even born yet.
The demon race that won the war at that time. On the contrary, the great defeated empire of the gods was to walk the path of destruction.
Speaking of which, it wasn't until after the advent of the Godly Empire, was it?
The Empire has built a new empire by defeating the old, declining empire.
In addition, I have heard that the Divine Army, which invaded the Forbidden Territory where we now live 2,000 years ago, was eventually destroyed by the demons.
I'm sure you've been through more wars than you can count.
And the land of the gods has decayed and perished and a new country has emerged.
Considering that, Charlotte's words that the country would perish gained weight and seemed like a real event.
"But you still feel uncomfortable, don't you?" Of course, the Divine Clan's kingdom has perished many times in the war against the Demons. But the demon country hasn't perished once, has it? I can't believe it could perish. "
From the time the demons ruled the eastern lands to this day. A country of demons that has been thriving repeatedly. But as far as I know, the country itself has never perished.
Because the Demon Clan has an absolute power and a ruler.
Those who once defeated the fighting gods and still truly rule the demons with their overwhelming power and power. As long as he and his entourage exist, I can be sure that the Demon Clan will not perish.
So, no matter how much truth Charlotte's words contain, I can't swallow them.
As I said, Charlotte shrugged her shoulders with a smile.
"Ernea, you're right." As long as his people exist, the demon race will not perish. But the country is different, isn't it? "
And when I say that?
“Ernesto, as you know, is not interested in governing and running the country.”
Oh, I see.
I forgot.
That's right. The ruler of the demons has no interest in the country. That's why in the eastern land, even though they were chased by the gods, they didn't fight back, and now they have demon kings all over the country.
Still, all the demon tribes, including the Demon King, were so in awe that they showed absolute obedience. That's not the "demon king" who governs the demon nation, but the "ruler" who reigns as a being of fear.
“It's about his people. You will enjoy the pleasure of seeing the demon country perish."
"Wow, that sucks!"
"Fufufu. Yes, it's the worst."
There's also Charlotte who can laugh happily back!
Charlotte must be a ruler's mind too.
Now I'm loyal to the giant demon king, but I used to destroy the demons as a golden king.
But I think the fangs of the Divine Clan would be suitable for the ruler if the demon nation were to perish.
"At that time, his people will directly destroy the God tribe. Like when I once overthrew the god of struggle. This time, may I also take a look at your side? Fufufu, I'm looking forward to it."
"No, no, it's not fun at all!?"
The ruler shows no interest in the demon race's survival. One thing. Maybe we'll only be interested in someone when they show up to face themselves.
Perhaps the Emperor of the Divine Clan is accumulating secret power to strip his fangs of his terrible ruler.
“So, Charlotte, what exactly do we see?”
The island that was supposed to float in the center of the lake, called "the paradise of the Tian people", disappeared completely without even being known to the residents of the surrounding villages. That fact was kept secret by the Emperor using the First Army, which was the most trustworthy.
In addition, the giant demon king who received the report went to the ruler until he had finished enjoying our report as a dish.
How many secrets have we learned and reported?
I've already told you it's a secret that if you don't do it well, the demon country will perish. But I'd like to hear more specific stories.
Charlotte thought for a moment and raised her mouth slightly as if she had come up with something.
"Ah. You've definitely had a bad idea!?"
"Fufufu, what do you say?"
”No, no, my face is definitely the face of my usual bad tricks and the times when I was playing with us”
Yeah, yeah, everyone's nodding.
Looking at us, Charlotte smiles happily. And as expected, instead of answering the questions we wanted, we asked them the other way around.
"I can't help it." Ernesto, if only you had so much hope. "
I don't want Charlotte's bad tricks at all!
"Don't say that." I'm sure your Majesty would have listened if you hadn't been here. "
“No, don't ask!”
"Ernea-kun, and everyone." In this case, why did you reverse your promise to the Divine Clan and notify the Demon Clan? "
"... oh, that's what I'm talking about."
Speaking of which, I don't think I told you.
Why did you tell the story of Amira and the others involved in the secret of the Fighting God? And why did you break your promise to Nguyen and inform the Devil King of the events concerning the Heavenly People's Paradise?
"That's right. If the Divine Clan knew that we had leaked information to the Demon Clan, we would know that the Armored Kingdom and Dragon Peak would be in danger." Still, I reported it because I thought it was very important to the world. ”
Of course, I have a family meeting before I visit the Palace. What should we talk about and what should we keep secret?
Among them, Amira-san's secret and the Heavenly Clan's island were the most important items on the agenda.
But this was so much a family disagreement.
"I think we should talk about Amira."
I think it's okay to tell you the story of the Fighting God.
"That's right. I wonder if the sisters are right." On the demon side, the ancient stocks opposed to the Fighting God himself are still alive, and there is little need to hide them. Rather than that, I think it would be easier to move if we talked about it in the future. "
On the way home from the Land of the Gods. We had a family meeting on Nemir's back.
Everyone nodded at the opinions of Yufilia, Nina, and Sefina's three sisters.
Alf and Amira travelled around the world with Uncle Ludo before we left the land of the gods. Therefore, even if you try to interfere with the Divine Clan, the Demon Clan, and Amira-san, it has become a difficult situation.
After all, Uncle Ludo is the kind of person who speaks loudly that no matter how many Musketeers come, you can drive them back. I don't think it's a bad idea for someone to be able to give a hand to Amira-san, who was protected by Uncle Ludo, who could be relied upon.
It may not be the case if the Demonic Ruler is serious, but on the contrary, he will wait for Amira-san to grow until he can show his interest.
Besides, if you go on a journey and your whereabouts go missing in the first place, you won't even be able to make contact.
Moreover, if we confess first, it will be easier for us to talk to you if we have any problems.
It's better to share information with someone you can rely on than to keep secrets secret.
Well, I'll give you a hand-picked list of people who will reveal their secrets. That area is our specialty.
After all, the secret of the Dragon Forest and the Forbidden Territories have only been told to a very limited number of people, and there is no mistake that they have spread from there to the public.
And it was about the Celestial Island.
We broke Nguyen's promise, but we all felt we had to report it.
I don't think that's the sweetest thing that could ever be done with the secret plans of the Empire of the Gods.
"I had the same instincts, Mistral." It's an abnormal situation for the world, isn't it? "
"If I had kept my promise to Nguyen with the protection of my personal and internal cutie, I would be afraid that it would become an irreversible future"
But it was Rooseine who raised his hand.
"Is it really good to report this to the demon tribe?" Certainly, it was the demons who asked me to see how the Empire was doing. However, even if the giant demon king could be trusted, the people on top..... "
"That's right. That's the part I'm worried about..."
It is the Demon Ruler who has asked us to investigate the intel of the God Empire.
Of course, I don't want to report directly to that scary person, so we'll first report to the giant demon king and have him tell us about it.
In other words, the story we saw, heard and reported goes straight to the Demon Ruler.
The problem is that we don't know how the Demon Ruler moves.
Like Amira-san's secret, would it be an option to stand by until the Divine Clan's plan matured?
Or maybe it's just getting more interesting, and you're just going to get caught up in it?
If the latter happens, the demons and gods will be scratched by their rulers and will be in trouble.
Depending on our reports, a great war will break out between the demons and the gods.
"... no, isn't that right?" I'm sure that if the Empire's plans go ahead, it will sooner or later be a major war. Still, if you want to minimize damage to unrelated civilians and neighboring countries, you still have to tell them. ”
Only a demon race with comparable power can resist a god race with such tremendous power.
And we're closer to the demons than the gods. In that case, telling the giant demon king about the situation and preparing for it is the best we can do right now.
If you were a giant demon king, you'd be dealing with it in the right direction.
I think the giant demon king is a rare demon who cares about his country and people.
That's why we trust and continue to interact.
I'm sure the ruler would take the demon king's report seriously.... that's right!?
"Anyway, there's no way we can deal with what we're not telling you." Don't tell me what you need to know, or you'll be in danger of losing a lot of lives! ”
Are our reports going in the right direction or the wrong direction? It all depended on the demon king of the giant and the ruler of the demon race.
But it's not like us to step on it for fear of an uncertain outcome.
If we're going in the wrong direction, we can take the lead and fix the right track!
Everyone agreed with my conclusions.
"That's why we reported it." That's why you have to take it seriously! "
And when I pierced a nail into Charlotte, I got a mean answer that looked like Charlotte.
However, as far as the demon king's reaction was concerned, it seemed to be a threat to the demon race, so I don't think it would go in the worst direction.
"So, Charlotte, it's time for you to tell me." You have any idea what our report is about, right? Isn't that why the Demon King went to report right away? "
If I had no idea, the Demon King would have twisted his head here to find out the true meaning of the Divine Clan's plan. I think that the fact that we went without waiting for all of our journey stories to end is because we were caught in the middle of something.
As I expected, Charlotte smiles happily.
"Ernea-kun is always sharp." Your Majesty and I both like that kind of thing. "
"That means you like how I play with you!"
The penetration was about as simple as that.
We seriously waited for Charlotte's answer.
Then, Charlotte smiles further and narrows her threads as she finally swallows our serious signs.
I see. Ernesto and his reports are not yet convinced.
After separating words. Charlotte said.
In a nutshell, it's a great forbidden technique.
