The Cute Master Was Actually the Black Demon King

20 – Sometime in the Past

“We have reached the Isles, Your Excellency.”

“Um.”

At the call of the butler sitting in the driver’s seat, Teikan quietly stood up.

He got out of the carriage first, followed by White.

“… ….”

While doing so, White glanced at the side once.

‘Why?’

‘…… It’s nothing.’

White just shook her head at Ashera’s expression of doubt with the shape of her mouth.

Anyway, it seems that his own master intends to follow even to the imperial palace.

…… There must be a confrontation system maintained by the great mage in the imperial palace, but will her stealth magic not be affected?

‘…… Wouldn’t she be immediately caught and burned to death by her thunderbolt magic?’

I had that thought momentarily once.

“…… No way.”

Soon, White let out a big smile with an expression of absurdity.

Even though it was the barrier of the empire’s strongest mage, it was unlikely that she would be able to kill her own master.

As long as the Tsushima master herself doesn’t step forward, she won’t be exposed to her stealth.

Then, it would be good for her mind and body to eat at ease with herself.

White made up her mind to turn her nerves off Ashera with her shallow breaths.

If you want to follow me, follow me.

I don’t know what their intentions are, and for what purpose, they’re following me around like this.

…… It seems like it’s a bit overdone and it’s following me!

“… ….”

White smiled lightly.

…… I don’t think she will do her harm to herself.

It would be nice to assert.

No matter what happens, she won’t harm herself.

As long as her mind is intact.

…… But.

‘…… Yeah, for now, for me.’

That was simply a story limited to White.

A little irresponsible look began to appear on White’s expression.

No, what.

No matter what she does to the imperial family or other high-ranking family members, she has nothing to do with herself.

If she helped her rather as her disciple Dori, she would not accuse her or not.

…… If the imperial knights or the imperial mages had discovered this, they would surely shout and run at it.

‘You traitor—! …… I mean.’

White chuckled, as if he had heard a really funny joke.

His complexion was changing to a slightly better light.

*****

The prestige of the Qliphoth family can be said to be truly great.

There were only two dukes in the empire, and even that, compared to the rest, their status was vastly different.

A prestigious family that has been loyal to the imperial family since the founding of the empire, and a famous magician whose head is the current high wizard, Teikan Qliphort.

His successor, ‘White Clifford’, is also not well known, but he is said to have an unparalleled talent for mana.

…… As for why I was suddenly talking about this, the reason was simple.

‘Is this your first visit to the imperial palace in your life?’

Wearing clothes with the Qliphoth family crest engraved on them, the imperial palace was no different from a free pass.

Except for a simple inspection, there was no restraint.

It may be because there are few people who do not know the face of Teikan Qliphoth, but anyway.

‘…… It feels like the memories of the past are coming up again and again.’

White slowly began to reminisce.

That’s right.

Around the time when Ashera runs out of control and slowly begins to reveal its majesty.

The Imperial Palace.

In the upper echelons of the Empire, many stories have been exchanged.

To the point where a lot of bullsh*t comes out, or so violently.

It was such a serious situation, and it also meant that the continent was in unprecedented danger.

“… ….”

White’s blue eyes slowly began to close.

*****

“You must kill, now! Before the rampage lasts any longer!”

“Can I kill you? It’s the black demon king! The strongest demon king!”

“I still have to kill you, don’t you agree with that?”

“…… That.”

“Yes, by all means…… !”

“…… What method do you have?”

A relatively young man so asked.

“… ….”

After a short silence, the answer the other person gave was truly spectacle.

“Use black magic.”

“…… Yes?”

The young man momentarily let out a panicked voice.

“I can’t help it, that’s the only way! Can you think of a way to kill the monster, unless you at least dabble in dark magic?”

“That… ….”

The young man’s eyes began to shake with conflict.

Perhaps he felt a little bit of possibility, the other person raised his voice even more.

“And it’s not just the black demon king. What about the other 12 demon lords? The great mage of the imperial family had already lost her power. We can no longer deal with them alone!”

“… ….”

The young man pressed her mouth shut.

That was the moment.

Kikik…….

“…… !”

“Who…… ?!”

In an interior of the imperial palace, the gate began to open with a quiet noise.

The two men’s expressions were momentarily stained with tension.

“…… Ah, Sir White Clifford!”

The two men sighed in relief at the sight of the platinum-haired man who appeared soon after.

And then they started pouring out words.

“Please listen, can you? You are now the only Grand Mage-class wizard left in the Empire. If you touch the taboo magic—”

“… ….”

“…… Killing that black demon lord is impossible—”

“… ….”

The man kept talking, but White just kept her mouth shut.

Why was that?

Is it because they are funny who dare to speak taboo magic?

Or out of anger at the would-be rebels who would break the taboo?

Maybe he was thinking of punishing them.

“──.”

…… No.

“…… Kill it?”

“So, the black demon king. …… Sir White?”

At the short words that White spoke in an instant, the man abruptly stopped talking.

The man began to look at White.

“…… !”

And only then did the man notice.

That white’s blue eyes had sunk into a very dark light.

Yes, indeed.

To the extent that it loses its brilliant, sea-like color.

“Ha ha ha ha ha.”

“…… Sir White?”

White let out a hollow laugh, and the man involuntarily took a step back.

Because I could feel a very unusual expression in White’s laughter.

A cold sweat flowed down the back of her neck once at the ominous feeling.

The current situation was too urgent to step back thinking only of that sense.

So, the man had no choice but to make the wrong choice.

A choice that can be said to be the worst mistake that will never happen again in a lifetime.

“I will say it again, Lord White. If you make a decision, we will assist and assist you—”

Chaw ah!

─Blood flowed out.

“…… Who are you killing?”

“…… !”

White muttered in a maddened voice, and the young man’s eyes widened at that.

“Ugh, ugh—!”

And before he could even scream.

Suddenly!

With a single light cutting sound.

Took!

The man’s head fell to the floor.

Two nobles, two men.

Even though it is a world that is heading towards destruction in real time, it is truly futile.

He lost his life.

By half-conscious White.

“…… Ha ha ha ha ha. Ahahahaha.”

Soon left alone, White.

He slowly distorted his expression and began to burst into empty laughter.

“Ahahahahaha… ….”

And within.

…… White’s laughter faded slowly.

“—Kill my master? Who wants it?”

At the end, a creepy voice came out from his lips.

Koo-gung, Kwa-gwa-gwang!

“──.”

From noble mtl dot com

Once, lightning struck the ground outside the window.

“…… Under.”

White’s pupils with an eerie light flashed fiercely once.

And at the same time.

“…… I will return.”

…… With a voice mixed with pain and guilt, White murmured briefly.

Flutter!

With that white robe fluttering once, White turned around.

Leave behind the room covered in red blood.

Kiki!

White opened the door again and stepped out.

“…… I mean, it’s going to come back somehow. As it is, everything.”

Continent map, world map.

Imperial map, Duchy map.

…… My teacher, Asherado.

All of that, in its original state.

Cleanly─

To-duk, to-duk.

Shoot ah-

“… ….”

Unfortunately, as soon as White finished his words, it started to rain.

Fully feeling the sensation of her whole body slowly starting to get wet, White quietly closed her eyes.

…… Is the drop of liquid flowing down his cheek really a drop of rain?

If that’s not the case, or was it something else?

“…… It’s too hot for rain.”

Muttering that with a faint expression somewhere.

White wiped his eyes once with his sleeve.
