The Demon King Seems to Conquer the World

"My Lord Yuri. There's a woman named Wang Sword and a woman from the Witch House."

When a man from the main guard came to the office and heard the report, I got up from the chair unexpectedly.

Whatever the King's sword is, Myalo?

"Where. Show me."

I changed my blood phase and walked out, so the chief of security, in a hurry, immediately walked in front of me and started leading the way.

"Though I keep it on the front door. According to the contact story, I would like to see His Royal Highness Carol in Rossi, so he was captured himself and sent straight away."

Were you captured in silence?

I wonder if that means I'm on your side.

The fact that they sent it as it was means you haven't seen Carol?

When I reached the front door on a small run, I saw Tyreto, the thoughtful woman, and Myalo standing tied.

"Myalo! You're safe!

"Yuri!

"Hey, untie the rope quickly. This one's one of us."

When I said that, the soldiers who had the rope loosened the ropes of Sulsulu and Myalo.

"Um, give me a short knife..."

When Myalo said goodbye, the man who loosened the rope looked at me.

Even though I loosened the rope, I say with my eyes, can I give you what serves as the murder weapon?

When I nodded, a familiar knife was returned to Myalo.

The murder weapon, so I guess I confiscated it.

"Yuri, I'll pay you back..."

"Oh, thank you"

I got the knife I was keeping.

I thought I'd kept it for a really long time, but it's only been about three days.

"Nevertheless, you've escaped so well"

"I have fled with the men of the king's sword. There's a third floor window right down there, and you go in there with a rope."

"Hey."

Tileto opened his mouth.

"Will you untie my rope?

"I still don't trust you. He might be working for Carlia."

"That can't be true. Ask the witch there."

I saw Myalo.

"I think it's okay. In front of me, Her Majesty the Queen told me to work for Mr. Carroll. I also saw that Mr. Carroll ordered me to work for Yuri. If Carol dies, you should be afraid of betrayal."

It's not even on the edge.

"If that happens, I will not follow Carlia. Whoever murders Her Majesty loses the right to inherit the sword"

What? What?

"If you stab the queen to death and the king's sword falls under your control at the next moment, you will be robbed."

Well, sure.

If you kill the queen and you get the right to order the king's sword, you can't threaten to give him the king's sword against a general who doesn't approve of his reign.

If you do that, you will succeed easily for the price, so the hurdle of usurpation will drop.

However, it could have been a lie because there was no such thing as the queen being executed in the royal Negeva at all in history.

Even as far as I can remember, there is a case like that twice in the Royal Family of Siyalta.

"It's not like history has no example. If we lose the Lord we serve, what are you guys gonna do? Do we even have collective self-determination?"

"The queen begs forgiveness for the king's sword. If it is as if the Queen was condemned for laying a terrible evil government, the inheritance is established by the King's sword's forgiveness. Of course, in Carlia's case, it's not subject to forgiveness."

I call him Carlia.

Does that mean I'm no longer the subject of honoring?

"What if you do it well after you take it and it fits into the throne?

"There is no historical example of that, but I'm supposed to dive into the field and serve the next generation before I do. So... well, if His Highness Carol dies, he may serve Carlia's daughter. But you don't have to worry now."

I see.

I feel like I'm through.

"So you can't untie yourself?

"... what?

"No, I was wondering if I could rope myself or something"

"I thought you wouldn't suspect me, so I left my hidden blade. It's not a snake or anything, so you can't get out with your hands tied to the cross..."

Something's beautiful...

I just heard it out of interest.

"Untie me."

When I said that, a soldier who was slightly jealous of the interaction loosened the rope.

"Oh, boy."

Tileto was rubbing himself loose where he was tied up.

"It's not here. Let's talk in the office."

There was a sofa in the office for visitors, and I sat on it.

Myalo and Tileto also sit back on the couch side by side.

"Do you know what happened to your father and mother?"

Best of all, I said.

"I don't know. I've been lurking in the Wang capital for half a day since I ran away, but nothing came up."

...... hmm.

If you think I ran away, Luke and Suzuya would be the deal material.

Instead of killing and exposing it, it's not strange that you're treating it the other way around.

... Luke thinks he's hopeless because of his condition, but he can't give up Suzuya's hopes.

For the sake of soldier morale and other conveniences, he says he is dead, but is he not alive?

"So what happened to Carlia?"

"In the end, Her Majesty the Queen could not be killed. I thought you were probably still alive."

"... tart"

I don't want to say bad things about the dead, but I'm the one who leaves me with the trouble of making them.

I don't know if it makes me feel like a parent... but it feels like I'm being pushed irresponsibly for not being able to kill you while you tell me what happened to the country.

"Tell me more about your escape."

"After that, Her Majesty called Mr. Tileto to lead the King's sword out. I want you to help Mr. Carroll. But I needed someone to be able to move in order to hold Mr. Carlia hostage, so I left Mr. Enrique alone."

Did he stay?

It's a terrible story.

"As I said earlier, directly beneath that balcony, there was a third floor window out. The balcony was out, wasn't it? I don't think that's why I couldn't tell from looking down there. I got on an eagle and saw what it looked like, so I noticed it."

From that balcony, I stared down many times, but you didn't notice at all.

Maybe I noticed when I got myself out.

"Behind Mr. Enrique poking a short knife at Mr. Carlia's neck, he descended with a rope and went down to the third floor, cutting into the kitchen. It is next to the two rooms where the meeting took place. The kitchen is located on the third floor, aware of the inconvenience, as it is not good when an outside person enters. But it's hard to bring ingredients and firewood for cooking on the stairs, so the manpower lift is connected to the ground floor. I got off that hole and reached the ground floor. And then we went out the window, and we broke through the siege and escaped to the river."

Was there such an escape route?

"So instead of going to the sixth floor, you should have gotten out with it."

I told Tyreto.

"The hole is too small. You can't do this."

"Because I was about critical... Carol, it could have been a little difficult"

Carol's pretty shoulder-width...

But Tileto is not as small in stature as Myalo.

"We can take our shoulders off. So I went through."

They told me to anticipate my doubts.

I see.

"So, the assassination of the Seven Witches?

"I really can't even open my name on the matter. If only I'd noticed..."

Myalo has a seeping face of regret.

But you're really right.

I went to Nokonoko and the Royal Castle without realizing it, not what I could say, but if either Myalo or Wang Sword had realised, this would not have happened.

As for Myalo, I didn't mean to blame him because he had entrusted me with the information agitation about the new continent, and I wasn't ordering him to look for the witch, but the King's sword is different.

"It was indeed the Seven Witches who planned it. But Gudanvier was pulled out. Something about the affection of my flesh and blood, you thought it might leak to me."

Really?

I rather thought that Gudanvier's Lady Louida had taken the initiative.

That woman must know all about Myalo's manipulation.

I guess that's why they did it.

Apparently not.

"Is it a good thing? You know, hubbing someone."

"This is the first time in the history of the Ciyalta witch. The Seven Witches are connected by a covenant."

I hear there's a covenant.

"The Seven Witches' Covenant, Seven Witches Promise, is a rule of the Order (Circle) aimed at coexistence and co-prosperity. Except somewhere else, if we could do something about it, we'd be suspicious of each other."

Coexistence and co-prosperity......

In short, is it like a friendly club promise?

I also feel right about a cartel, if that means that there will be no competition in the inner circle, not to take away sweet honey from each other and get into fights.

"But why didn't I know? You simply didn't get it."

"Half of it is. Perhaps only about ten people knew the whole plan by that afternoon... but I should have noticed"

"What?"

"By the day before that, about half of the witches working for Royal Castle who were my sources were gone. I wasn't killed, I was subtly driven away in a way that was like a little business trip to the region... I was a little uncomfortable, but I didn't think I was being embedded"

Were you pre-identifying Myalo's sources?

I had already grabbed them, but if I turned them off, I wouldn't take them off, I let them swim until the day.

I mean, I didn't think the plot to assassinate him would leak while he was letting him swim. By crushing him enthusiastically, he feared more that his enthusiasm would be passed on to Myalo. That is.

I guess I was pretty confident in not finding out until I took action that day.

The best way to keep information secret is not to tell anyone.

A smaller number keeps secrets.

It's impossible for any intelligence expert to find out what someone thought in their head and didn't tell anyone.

"I realized it was after Yuri went to the royal castle. One witch couldn't admit to working overtime today. That's what I've been reporting. Stupidly enough, I didn't think it was weird here for the first time. When I felt something was going on and I wanted to go to the Imperial Castle, the Second Army was blocking the bridge."

So, you mean you went over to the birch dorm abruptly?

"I see. I get it."

"It was my mess. Whatever you do, you'll be disposed of."

Myalo is bowing his head.

I can't see my face, but the sinking voice color taught me emotions.

"Sure, if something was uncomfortable, I might have been able to detect it if I'd been careful"

…………

"But that's because I'm the same. Witch movement has been dull for the past year or so and she has stopped coming with loco hands...... I should have thought you were gonna set something up."

This is totally my alarm.

I knew the witch was being hunted down.

But I never thought I was sharpening the blade of the assassination with tiger sight.

"That's it! That's my job! Besides, no one would ever think that Carlia was caged!

That said, no one was responsible, that was unpredictable to anyone, there was no choice. There is no such thing.

I didn't want to do that.

"You delivered the eagle. Without that, I couldn't even save Carol. Let's just do it right."

I took my eyes off Myalo, and now I turned to Tileto.
