sink powerlessly into the office chair.

Street maintenance, tax reform, logistics management and the work that still shouldn't be done are bundles of financial documents, piled up like mountains on a desk.

The rebuilding of the country's infrastructure, which has been razed by Sunra's tyranny and the ensuing turmoil, has lagged considerably.

Not just because of the nature of the Demon King or Sunra, but the demon kings of the past have never seemed to be able to help themselves in their internal affairs, and their twists and turns were even heavier as an enormous workload.

Let's call back Barlund......

I miss the competent clerical way Lefia took me.

I have admitted its work since I was working as Prime Minister, but now that I'm gone, it still makes me feel painful that I underestimated it.

Barlund's missing hole is somehow shared and compensated by me and Sel Azam, but I'm too short of hands to make up for it.

Honestly, I have a headache.

I also thought it was chilling to activate his power as Demon King and force him to recall Barlund, but some of them can't go inside to see how he seems to be enjoying himself right now.

Or it's gonna be fun, isn't it?

He remains a tiger without a human form.

Oh, my God, I'm so confused about what kind of face to see Lefia.

Though I didn't know, it seemed like I was letting her stay in line with all my naked statues.

It's just a pervert.

Seriously, I want you to give me a break.

Besides, I don't know if you cared, but you think it was made bigger than the real thing? Nani.

You don't need it...... The care.

I almost cried when Refia told me it was actually meant to be followed.

I feel like all this has been happening lately when I've been involved with Lefia.

In the first place, who is Lee the Demon King?

I want to know.

"Ha... I guess we should make a proper name for ourselves while the wound doesn't get deeper."

I know, but I won't.

If I can, I will.

It's just an excuse, but you don't feel there's another kind of courage to stand up to a mighty enemy...

I resent my hectic self.

"Your Majesty, may I?"

"Whoa!? Ser Azam, huh?"

I was sinking too much into my thoughts.

You can't, not like this.

We need to switch our thoughts quickly.

"There have been further reports of trends in the Episcopal State of Alistair of greater concern than before"

"Alistair...... Is that the country where Lefia was? I'm sure there's a modern Virgin."

"He said the Master himself led the army out."

"... to where?

"If you believe in published statements, you're going to go get back the poor daughter kidnapped by the Demon King"

... Seriously.

I hold my head in with both hands.

"I didn't know you were really moving the army for one village daughter anymore... What does Cell Azam think of this?

"It's not usually possible to move an army for one resident, except this time. You'll definitely come here first."

Right. It's not normal, is it?

But somehow, it's also true that I felt like this would happen. Really somehow though.

Previously, we have tried to avoid contact with humans so as not to cause extra irritation. That's where the kidnapping happened. I might be coming in deep wondering if there's anything over there, too.

It is within easy to assume that you will be extra vigilant only for the length of time of silence.

"Is it unlikely that there will be any restraint against other countries…. A month after I brought Lefia here. Probably moving fast again. I thought it would take at least three months. Is Alistair the only one who moved? What other countries show tune?

"There is no place at the moment. Looks like military action by Alistair alone. Besides the Law Lord, we have also confirmed the appearance of the Virgin Mariel and the brave Eusis."

"The modern Virgin and the Brave? It's extravagant."

"The number is roughly 1,500. It appears that more than half of the military species are organized in cavalry."

More than half of them are cavalry? That again.

Is the occupation inside the realm out of sight?

A cavalry alone would be difficult to drop a fort.

Receive a sense of speed and intimidation.

Well, I'm not willing to put you in the realm for a step or two.

I wonder how serious they are.

"What's the expected path?

"Within a week at the latest, you'll likely be approaching Fort Ahart or Fort Fia"

"You're marching pretty fast. What are you in such a hurry about? Me and the Kingsguard Knights 300 will have a change for the interception as a force of war. Let's make sure we can use both fortifications so that we don't have to come to either Ahart or Fia."

If the Kingsguard knight rides, it is equivalent to five knights of the humans. The strength of the brave man and the Virgin is unknown, but even if combined, it will never exceed our strength.

Using the fort as a shield also adds to your advantage.

"Your Majesty, I was wondering if half of the Kingsguard should be left behind. Lord Barlund was secretly pursuing an inside detective, and Farrat and the others are starting to move something."

"Farrat. Are you a rat man... That's what Ballund did."

When it comes to whether all were laid to fear and despair by Sunra's tyranny, it is not, in fact. Only a few, but there were also those who had benefited from the tyrannical Demon King.

A rat called Farrat is one of them.

They were too weak, if I may say so, in the land of demons and in the weakest layers. Even Goblin was concerned about the emergence of Goblin Road, and they went up as a solemn candidate, but they weren't even dealt with at all. That weakness is considerable.

It was that weakness that gave them a reversal of their position.

Farrat, who had been abused and ridiculed until then, on the contrary, rejoiced that their opponents, who had looked down on themselves, were being solemnized by Sunra.

And they used what was left of them to attack, kidnap, and plunder the species driven by Sunra.

Whether Sunla died or not, they took full advantage of the retribution. I don't feel a little sympathetic given their predicament before, but I guess they really deserve it. I didn't dare to stop it.

Because we decided that we should be responsible for what we did to ourselves, not what we were forced to do.

I still don't think the decision was wrong, but I was certain that Farrat and the others were being pushed. We need to be vigilant as to what they are trying to do when they are literally stranded.

"Okay. Let's do it right. Sometimes it's like Suzumori. I want Ser Azam to stay in the castle instead of me."

"Accepted"

"Sorry for all the hard work."

"No, because this is also a role"

I knew it wasn't enough. The manpower.

Ser Azam left the room and a maid with me told her of a further visitor. I called it in, Bel Adone.

When she was allowed into the room, she came in quietly.

He drops his shoulder somewhere lonely, even as he hides his mouth with a fan, as usual. Seems like a reflection at first glance, but anything but the outside.

Now, do you want to preach?

"Bel Adne. I know you do..."

"Dear Maori. No, Your Majesty, before we speak, could you please deliver this?"

Cottori, and. Ber-Adne offered a disc-shaped stone of palm large on his desk.

Something that seems magical from what I've seen but I've never seen it.

Overall, it looks white, with some small circle sticking out of the middle.

"It's in the magic kit that I just finished. I would like to offer it to His Majesty."

"You know, with these bribes..."

"It's a statue of your choice. You can do any kind of thing with puppeteering."

"So you talk about people properly..."

"And the procedure is very simple. Just tie a piece of the model's hair into the middle ring and cage the magic to form a shape."

"... it is.... That's a little awesome."

"We usually have the shape that we want to flatten out like this, but once we have formed the shape, we will form ourselves as if we wanted to be loved, at the discretion of the operator."

"Ho ho."

I got a little interested.

I'll take the magic equipment on my desk.

Sure, it's just stone at first glance, but I feel complicated surgical magic caged inside.

"It's only at first sight more than I can explain. First of all, I'm sorry about my hair, but please try"

Beradne pulled out a strand of his own hair and placed it on his desk. You mean give it a try now?

If it is as explained, it will form the appearance of Bel Adne. Regardless of practicality, it does look interesting.

As I was told, I tied Bel Adone's hair to a rounded area and tried to cage the magic.

When the magic appliance reacts to magic, the wheel that binds the hair is sucked into the stone sooooo much.

When the top surface of the disc-shaped stone glowed pale, from there a small beradone began to form with the disc-shaped stone as a pedestal, as if it were to float.

When I thought it would be a very white statue, the skin color and hair color would be the same as the person's, and an elaborate and refined doll could be made as if it had kept the person smaller.

I was naked.

"... dude. Why are you naked?"

"I want to keep beautiful things beautiful and put them down. That's all. There is no sin in the beauty of the flesh."

Although miniature, it is more embarrassing to observe the nudity of the person in front of him.

Stone went back to normal when he stopped caging his magic in his magic equipment as he lay down his gaze and strayed from winning.

"I know it's awesome technology, but aren't you ashamed? She must have been my daughter-in-law."

"There's nothing wrong with it if Your Majesty gets it. Isn't that what you said before?"

"... so you talk about people"

"I don't mean to, but whoever's hair is used to shape who it is."

Gatta.

I instantly realized what the word meant, and accidentally lifted myself out of my chair.

"Anyone's,...?

When Bel Adone sighed one thing sadly, he hid another half of his face with a fan that was hiding his mouth.

"If it was meant to be, I wanted to dedicate my appearance to His Majesty's love, but it's also only a one-way one-sided thought for my Majesty. We cannot bind His Majesty until we know who he loves."

Sawdust. And I swallowed the saliva.

Whose hair, whoever it is, you think it's possible?

Seriously. Seriously.

What a creation you've made. You are.

... Here we go, Bel Adne.

"Okay. Surely you're right, if you want to describe the beauty of flesh, you can't help but be completely naked again. It is one expression of beauty, and perhaps the heart of those who see it and despise it is the lowest."

"I thought your majesty would understand something. You're a demon king."

"Mm-hmm. Shut up and change the statue of the White Palace without question. If it's an expression of beauty, there's a way to do it."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Belle Adone smiles across the fan.

Yeah. You're beautiful if it's just the outside look, too.

There's something genius about magic.

How dare you create such delicate magic equipment, I'm sincerely interested in that technology.

Yeah. Well made.

Well, how do we get the hair after that?

Honestly, will you?

It really pained me that troubles were endless.
