Dungeon Master Makeup Money

There is a heavy door in front of me.

"Here we are."

"No way, is this the bottom floor?

Confused to learn that the Duke has reached the lowest level.

If you think you've been walked all hours through a dim cave dressed like you usually do, you've reached your destination at some point.

I use just a little bit of magic to increase the speed of travel to shorten my time. However, the reason I feel I got there faster than that is because, despite being a labyrinth, there was no demonic raid, and there was no single kind of trap. They really just walked through the cave.

"Ko, if the offense is so easy, the knight should be able to return! On the contrary, it's not weird that we have an offense!

That is not a mistake.

A knight, on the contrary, is easy enough for even a child to attack.

"That's because whoever's in charge decided it was pointless to interfere."

"Meaningless......?

"Where demons have attacked us, everything will be defeated, even if traps are set up, they will be destroyed."

All obstruction makes no sense.

Then we'll just waste our magic.

"So I guess you decided to make it straight to your destination."

If this was an intruder other than me, I might have jammed my martial arts.

But there's nothing we can do where we got to the bottom... so we didn't do anything.

"I'll open it."

Open the heavy door.

"Whoa."

Then you go out into a white-walled space, unlike the previously dim cave.

Apparently it was a space that seemed fun to the child, making his eyes shine at the unusual scenery.

"Well, you invited me, so show yourself."

Talk to the crystal pillar at the center of the bottom layer.

That crystal is the labyrinth nucleus (dungeon core) that governs the labyrinth of the King's capital. And personality dwells just like our labyrinth. However, if you're going to name a difference, you're going to show us a phantom that simulates what you were like before us.

'Long time no see. Three years, is it?

That's about it.

What showed up was a girl in her late teens wearing scarlet on white little sleeves with chestnut hair twintailed.

'First, let me thank you. I thank you for saving the King's capital, which I should protect.'

"I'm not making a big deal out of this."

"Nevertheless, without you, the damage would have been even greater."

A labyrinth nucleus girl with her head down.

The Duke of Foulshees cannot go about the situation and opens his mouth to pocan.

"And I also thank you for guiding them so far"

"I don't care if you say guide..."

Melissa and Sylvia next door face each other. We were both laughing bitterly. Perhaps I have a similar look.

Really, I didn't do anything like an escort just to show you around.

"Dilwarn."

"Ha!"

Dilwarn, is the name of the Duke of Foulshees.

"You want me to recognize my new king's grandson."

"… you are right"

Head down, the Duke makes his demands on his knees.

You are kneeling too, Curtis, imitating the Duke who was on his knees with nature.

'Face up. I am merely protecting the King's capital. And you are the one who should be my Lord. The king must not bow his head easily'

"Also, sorry!

Curtis, stand up when you become upright immovable.

... That's a little pathetic.

"That's about it for you"

Melissa puts out a help boat.

"Oh, there's such a cute little girl who's going to be the new lord, so I can play for a little while."

"No!

Turns into a serious face with attention.

The Duke also stood up to support his grandchildren...

"You stay put."

... but they refused.

I know why you've come to such a place.

"That's because I was worried about Curtis..."

Are you the prime minister? Now, aren't we so cornered that we have to borrow the hands of those who kicked us out once?

I'm so busy that I have to rely on Mr. Gaelio.

Though it's only about half a day, there shouldn't be time for the Duke to be in the labyrinth.

"There is no way to involve the untrustworthy in such a royal secretary. That's why I decided to follow myself."

'Lies are not good. I have the ability to grasp, to some extent, what happened in the King's Capital. I know what you think and what you've done to visit places like this.'

The Duke in the face.

I have already realized that the question is pointless.

"The purpose of your coming here is to..." Why wasn't I chosen king? ♪ To ask me that. ♪

…… That's right. "

Duke who affirms weakly.

The girl in the labyrinth nucleus sighed when she saw him.

'This time, the same reason I didn't choose you when I was competing with my brother decades ago. I thought I'd rather choose him as king than you.'

"What, because you were old...?

He looks lively, but the Duke is old enough to have a ten-year-old grandson. I'm not old enough to be able to do this right now, but I'm pretty sure I'm not old enough to do public service for decades.

'That's trivial. We just have to give it up to our sons and grandchildren where the country is stable.'

By then, Curtis is likely to be a fine adult as well.

"Then why..."

'Isn't it me with the ability to excel - the reason is simple.' Cause he was good. '

"Ha, uh...?

The Duke, who has lived by feeding on his excellence, does not understand the meaning of the word.

"You had this idea that many people would follow if the right person took the lead and led the people."

"What shouldn't of it!? Now, a lot of people became my supporters back then. He told me that at the dawn when I became king, he would support me as a minister. And this coup was a success because so many people helped me..."

'Yeah, you succeeded. Get help from people with all sorts of thoughts'

……

The collaborators of the coup didn't just cooperate with me in a sense of justice. Those who are planning something, those who are aiming to improve their status, those who benefit. Some have taken action out of a sense of justice that really can't leave the royal family alone. But there are more who have a delicacy in their bellies.

'This coup is better than it used to be. You don't seem to realize it, so I'll tell you, some of the old collaborators who were trying to be kings even planned to have your daughter daughter-in-law and assassinate her after her grandson was born.'

"... Yep"

"Did you notice and leave it?"

"It was another dream of dreams, such as going for the throne without their cooperation! That's all I need to talk about later."

'Did you do it?

"It's..."

"You haven't done it, have you?"

What the Labyrinth Nucleus is saying is the situation in the Wang capital.

If you follow the original, it's like someone dissatisfied with the Duke's reign has taken action.

'You have a tendency to overtrust your power. Skills as individuals were out of group among heirs to the throne. But there will have been a lot of blood at the dawn when you became king. The ground is being damaged to this extent because of their cooperation.'

"Damn...... so my effort......!

'The ability required of a king is neither force nor intelligence. I want to keep up with this guy, it's a human morality that makes many people think. Earlier generations of kings had set up a forum for discussion with ministers to make up for their lack of strength because they knew the excellence of their brother and uncle. But you haven't been able to build trust by just having a practical conversation with your collaborators. I'm not going to make such a man king.'

Few heirs to the throne remain.

The first of these to be eliminated are the children of the Duke. In the children the Duke has a strong influence, even after the Duke's death his influence remains strong.

Curtis is the one who hit the white feather arrow in such a situation. Young grandchildren can be righteous kings from now on with the right education. I'm going to interfere a little through this labyrinth nucleus, the crown.

"You have to prepare your reward for beating this man."

"Then I've already made up my mind."

I didn't dare talk about rewards.

That's because the negotiator was a labyrinth nucleus, not a duke.

"In the future, please don't leave us on all documents, and prohibit us from communicating it in oral."

In addition, it is not something left behind in a way like a private diary.

'What makes you promise me that?

"Those who become new kings must always be labyrinth lords. Give that person as a rule he must absolutely abide by."

I won't admit you as king unless you accept to keep us a secret.

If you want to be king, you have to accept it.

'Fine. I also give Curtis this condition'

Now, the purpose of guiding the situation to the lowest level has been achieved.
