※King’s point of view※

── Chubaaaaaaaan!!!!!

A loud sound shook the Royal Castle.

The sound was accompanied by great vibrations, and Zuzuzun! and shook the castle to pieces.

Gachーan!!

Parin!!!

Expensive ceramic cup broke and splashed its contents.

“Wha! What just happened!”

Slip!

The king fell from his chair in astonishment.

There had been a lot of surprises since this morning but this was the best he had seen yet.

After all, it happened right under his nose.

In a corner of the vast royal castle, ────. Something unusual happened in the training area.

It was, how to say….it, as if a volcano had erupted──?

──── Ballyyin!!!!!

“Hiiiiiiiiii!!?”

It didn’t stop with just a big vibration.

The explosion that occurred in one corner of the military training area caused a tremendous storm at the Royal Castle.

In the corner of the castle facing the explosion, glass windows popped all at once.

In some parts, the entire window frame was blown out.

The King’s resident was no exception, of course, and the huge, ornately tailored window panes shattered and shards rained down on him.

“Uhyaaaaa!”

Doss ──── Parin, Kin ………….

Some of the shards broke through the skin.

And as if by luck, one of the most gigantic shards was impaled a few centimetres above the king’s crotch straddle.

If he had taken one more step forward, he would have had to say goodbye to his crotch.

“Hi, hi,hiu….”

It couldn’t be helped that the scent of ammonia was rising in the air..

The entire royal castle was in an uproar, screams and shouts could be heard in the distance everywhere.

This was particularly noticeable in the area facing the training ground, where there had been some casualties.

Voices calling for a doctor could also be heard.

All the glass on the parade ground side might have been shattered, possibly injuring those in the castle.

“Wha–whatttt……”

The King was too shocked to even utter the words [What’s going on?]

There was no one in the room, only the sound of the walls crumbling.

Sounds were coming from the walls and part of the ceiling, which had been shattered by the excessive vibrations.

Eventually cracks appeared in the walls of the castle and some structures were badly split and shattered.

As might be expected, it did not collapse on its own, but ────.

Bataan!

“Heh, Your Majesty ────! Hee!?””

It was the Commander of the Kingsguard who once again rudely opened the door.

“Y-,yo,you…rud–rude!!”

Despite him leaked quite a lot—but he was indeed the King.

“…..What! Speak quickly.”

Quickly, the king maintained his dignity while hiding his wet crotch with a cushion.　

He then casually moved to his office desk.

His crotch was soaking wet and disgusting, but he didn’t show it on his face.

“Your Majesty!　Is that ──── hmm?　What’s that smell……”

“Say it quickly!”

The King hurriedly urged the Commander of the Kingsguard to speak as he had started sniffing the bad smell.

Surprised by the king’s urging, the Commander hurriedly straightened his back and began to report, but his face was somewhat quizzical.

The king was momentarily tempted to shout at him for his rudeness, but he quickly decided against it.

It was  the King who needed to know the current situation.

The fact that the Commander of the Kingsguard had come on an urgent mission to tell him of the urgency of the situation was more than obvious.

“Report!!! My…my… my corps ──── destroyed!”

……..

‘Haaa?!’

Corps decimated? It was a surprising report.

Needless to say, it took the king a little time to understand that word.

“What are you all doing──?!”

The Kingsguard commander then fell to his knees.

The king saw a piece of ugly iron shard sticking out of his back.

“What …… happened?”

“Gugu….a monstrous bird swooped down from the sky──── and then our corps was destroyed.”

‘Haaa?!’

“Shortly after that……an unidentified group advancing on Royal Capital is confirmed…..!　All the soldiers heading towards them are still missing.”

“What!!!? Who are they!”

The king realized himself after saying it.

Such things were a given. He was the heretic. That Nasser Virginia.

“Gh…It was him all along, that bastard!”

Then the king realise something────

“W–wait? The Corps is destroyed? What───do you mean? Speak up!”

The king didn’t care for the wounded Kingsguard commander. He started shaking him violently. 

“Ugu…….And so ──── the Kingsguard Corps in convocation was destroyed……! They’ve all been minced!”

The king then pushed away the commander of the Kingsguard, who was enduring his pain in the current desperate situation.

At that moment.

── Bechabecha!!!!

and a terrible smelling object fell from the sky and turned the king’s residence and the balcony outside into a bloody mess.

“────This is the end of our kingdom…….”

The Commander of the Kingsguard picked up the helmet and handed it to the king, a flattened, burnt helmet.

“What the ───── hiiiii!?”

──It was a helmet that was packed full of contents.

At that moment, he became completely incontinent. He was no longer able to hide it. The king could see the dirt between his legs perfectly but he forgot to hide it and shouted at the commander.

“You, you idiot!　You can’t just say that we’ve been destroyed!　There are soldiers everywhere!　Go and round up anyone you can find!”

Oraa! The king kicked the Kingsguard with his short legs. With a thud, he fell down.

There was no dignity in doing that.

“ I understand……!”

The Kingsguard commander wobbled for a moment but stood up, looking surprisingly firm.

His face was pale and bloodless, but he seemed to have a strong fighting spirit.

His own corps had disappeared in front of his eyes. He might be stunned, but he was probably even angrier.

The King gritted his teeth.

‘That bastard. That heretic. Nasser Virginia ah! I know it’s for revenge, I know it’s predictable, but …… isn’t this going too far?!! I’ve only killed a few people and burned them a bit! You’ve gone too far!　You’re a fucking idiot!’

“Wait, I’m coming too! I can’t leave you alone!”

The king quickly changed his pants once the Commander of the Kingsguard was removed from the room.

The king had no choice but to wear a different colour than the one he had on earlier because there were none in the same colour, but he thought it would be fine. It was not obvious.

He put on a slender ceremonial sword at his waist, put his crown on his head and left the room.

‘I haven’t worn a sword on my waist for a long time, it’s really heavy…….’

Gacha……

“Your Majesty! Let’s get going. ──── Huh?　Have you changed your pants?”

“Shut up! Shut up, you incompetent Commander!”

Geshi!!

The king was furious with the incompetent Kingsguard commander, who was qualified to say what he didn’t want to be pointed out most.

He was dexterous with his short legs, and hit the kingsguard with a roundhouse kick.

“I’m so sorry ……!”

The Commander of the Kingsguard apologized with some irritation in his voice, but his eyes were completely blank.

“Hmph!　You should rally the rest of the men in the castle!　I don’t care if they’re an apprentice knight, a cook or a maid!”

“And now, all the subjects of the royal castle, assemble with your weapons!　And call the ministers!　Do your job once in a while!”

The king’s castle was in a flurry of activity, but the presence of the king made the castle’s residents a bit calmer when they saw his figure. 

The guards, who were on the verge of fleeing, also looked relieved.

After all, he was the king of the Land of the Hero.

The proof of descent that flowed in his blood was not for show.

On the other hand, there was a bit of anxiety.

The king was shouting, but his slamming footsteps were so rough that it was even comical. Some felt uneasy about it.

But the king was unconcerned.

“Get out of the way! Move out of the way!”

Along the way, medics carried injured soldiers to an empty room in the Royal Castle, many of whom apparently could not be saved.

However, they could not leave them outside, so they were carrying them inside. 

As it was , those in the castle who were in turmoil would be even more confused.

A horrific scene could only cause panic for those who were not used to it.

But they didn’t even know that, and they all just kept moving to the right and left.

To begin with, the number of soldiers in charge of rear transport was abnormally small compared to the number of soldiers being brought in.

The destruction──── and dispersal …… desertion, as the Commander of the Kingsguard calls it, had probably already begun.

Besides…..

“Oi! What are you holding! I mean, that’s a national treasure painting, you guys! And that’s my vase of pride !! Idiots! Give it back!”

“Aah! Where are you going with that safe? What are you doing! Who authorised this looting!”

“You, you, you…! You’re all useless scum! Thieves! If you’re a citizen of the kingdom, you’ll stay until the end!”

The king, the most powerful man on the scene, finally showed up and the panic finally started to settle down. However, the fact remained that the Kingsguard Corps had been decimated.

It was too late to deal with the situation in the first place.

It had been some time since the Adventurers Guild was destroyed and it was too late when they were still calling for the Kingsguard.

The king could have led the Kingsguard. There were many ways to do this, such as rounding up private armies and gathering aristocrats for supplies……

But this was what happened when the king responded in a haphazard manner.

In the first place, it was already a bad move when the heroes were summoned without any grounds to try to defeat the Demon King.

If he had invoked a being that could defeat the Demon King, ──── how would he have thought of a counter to that being?

What if the heroes were not those who would listen to him maturely?

In the end, it would only give birth to a new 『Demon King』.

The king didn’t know about this, so he let the Hero disrespect him, gave him people’s wives and ate up their wealth.

What it meant was  that the King was also a big fool.

And the stupid king didn’t realise it.

He stepped into the hall, the entrance to the castle and yelled at the top of his lungs.

It was full of wounded soldiers and non-combatants with a terrible stench.

Blood, guts, sweat, faeces and urine…..approximately every liquid thing that came out of the human body, filled the place.

‘Nunnunnunnunnun…..! You have soiled my castle to the ground, you useless scum!’

“Listen!　The king himself has come to fight on your behalf. ────”
