The Demon King’s Seal Has Been Broken

10 – The warrior’s party is getting more and more ruined

‘I successfully recruited the Magic Tower Master…’

Bill was chosen as the new hero this time.

He succeeded in recruiting the Magic Tower Master as a party member.

However, in the process of recruiting, I couldn’t help but doubt it because he was the Mage Tower owner who was said to have been abandoned by Rag at first…

‘No problem. His magic skills were also amazing.’

Seeing his magic skills, those doubts were completely dispelled.

His skill was real.

I’m sure it will be of great help in unsealing and defeating the demon lord…

There was no disagreement about this fact.

‘And, even if I become the emperor, I’ll need it a lot.’

Also, after defeating the demon king, Bill has a plan to become emperor by using his reputation as a hero.

For Bill, the fact that he was with the Master of the Magic Tower was a very large base of support.

For Bill, who wants to somehow increase his side, the current situation was so good.

Right now, the situation was working out so well for him.

‘I have to somehow increase my power…’

But still, I couldn’t be bothered.

Recruiting the Magic Tower Master and subjugating the Demon Lord as a hero were progressing smoothly, but there were still many obstacles to becoming an emperor.

First of all, the power of the first princess was much stronger than expected.

Since he was the de facto successor in the empire that had been going on for 600 years, there were still quite a lot of subjects who believed in him and followed him.

No matter how much he is chosen as a warrior, and even if he defeats the demon king and rises in his position, his servants will not turn their backs on him at once.

As a result, although Bill did not rate the first princess, a woman named Lecia, very highly, it was a situation that could not be ignored in many ways.

‘And I have to think about the movements of the second princess, Princess Anastasia…’

Also, not only the first princess but also the second princess should be kept in mind.

Although she is the second princess who poses no threat after being defeated by the first princess in the battle for the succession to the throne.

No one knows how she will bounce, and what kind of threat she may be.

Besides, these days, I feel like I’m preparing for something…

It was not a safe situation at all.

Because of this, Bill had to move more and more in order to make sure he became the emperor.

‘I’ll have to step up my recruiting efforts.’

And to do so would be to make friends.

It was Bill who had to strengthen his power to defeat the demon king for a week.

Also, it was Bill who had to prepare more and more political support base in order to become emperor.

A very efficient way to catch two rabbits at once.

Now Bill had to move to find another party member.

‘Among them, the saintess must come first.’

The first thing that came to Bill’s mind was, of course, a saint.

Currently, the face of the church most loved by the Goddess, and a priest who can perform God’s miracles.

If only she were there, the power of the warrior party would be greatly strengthened, and they would be able to obtain the enormous political foundation of the church.

Because of that, there was no hesitation.

The hero, Bill, went straight to the church where the saintess was.

“Ah… How are you…? I… I am Clara, the 13th saint of the Empire. W… What are you doing here?”

And I was able to meet the saintess.

Wavy golden hair, neat nun’s outfit.

Clara, the saint of saints with a beautiful appearance.

‘Hmm, it’s difficult…’

It’s already been a week since I returned to my hometown and lived there.

I couldn’t help but have a little trouble these days.

“Brother. What did you do in the capital for three years?”

“…”

The worry was because of her sister.

To be more precise, my sister keeps asking me what I’ve been doing for three years.

I’m in this situation… no, it’s a lot of trouble.

‘Hmm… Originally, I meant to say it, but.’

Originally, I intended to reveal that I was a hero when I returned to the village after finishing my job as a hero.

After the Demon King was gone, I no longer had to hide the fact that I was a hero, and I had no intention of hiding it either.

So, according to the original plan, I was going to let my sister and other villagers know that I am a hero…

Now, I don’t want to tell you that I was a hero…

‘Hmm… To be honest, it’s a bit embarrassing…’

And it was for a very personal reason.

That’s why it’s embarrassing…

A very simple, but very important reason.

‘I couldn’t even defeat the Demon King…?’

At first, I was very proud of myself as a warrior.

A job that sacrifices itself for others, plus a title given to the strongest person on the continent, a warrior.

The title was never taken lightly.

He had some pride, and he was satisfied with his job as a warrior.

However, if you ask me if I have perfectly performed the hero’s work…

It wasn’t.

He was a warrior who could barely seal it.

‘I’ve suffered a lot, but…’

Of course, that sealing was never easy.

At least from my point of view, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the seal really suffered the most.

I think it’s actually a very proud thing to seal against that strong Demon Lord…

‘Because hard work and accomplishment are different…’

But the important thing is that no one knows about it.

Unfortunately, in the world, only results remain, and even in the imperial palace, I was cursed.

Because of this, I was hesitant to speak.

I said without reason, ‘Why did my brother not defeat the demon king even though he was a hero?’ When asked by my sister…

To be honest, it might hurt a lot.

“I just… I worked while following adventurers. I traveled around a lot while meeting a lot of people.”

So I decided to lie in moderation.

The lie of working for a merchant…

To be honest, it hurts my heart to lie to my only sister like this…

‘Well… it’s not that wrong.’

If you ask me if it’s a very wrong story, it wasn’t.

Well, it’s true that I wandered around, and very occasionally I did something like an adventurer…

In fact, being a hero is also an upgraded version of an adventurer, right?

So it wouldn’t be too wrong.

“Wow… That’s why you know the leader of the knights and the lord of the tower.”

And my sister, fortunately, believed in my words.

Stories of celebrities I sometimes tell.

As if he knew how he came to know the story.

“Well, that’s right.”

‘Let’s talk about it someday…if your heart is ready.’

I was relieved to see my younger sister, who had fortunately been tricked.

The pride that an older brother wants to protect from his younger sister is more important than you think…!

“Then there you are. Brother.”

When I am so content with myself.

My sister still looked at me with twinkling eyes.

“If you know the head of the lyrics and the master of the tower, do you know about the saintess? I want to hear about the saintess…!”

“Saint…?”

“Yes. Saintess. I’m also curious about the saintess…!”

A story about not being a saint.

It was Lily who asked me while expressing intense curiosity in her eyes.

‘Hmm… Actually, Lili has never been out of town, right?’

Lily has been asking me a lot lately. On the other hand, I could understand her feelings.

When I was young, I sometimes went out of town to run errands, and some of the villagers went to the city to trade.

For a young girl like Lili, this was not the case at all.

So, even back in the day, when I went to the city on errands, I used to ask a lot about how the city was.

But now, when I said I was an adventurer, it seemed like there were so many things I wanted to ask.

“Hmm… I’ve only seen it once. It’s quite amazing. Because I chanted the spell once, even people who were dying were saved…”

Knowing that, I decided to answer with sincerity.

A saint… I’ve only met her once, honestly, but I’m sure that the position of a saint is a position that can’t be easily occupied.

A saint was a woman loved by God and a woman who performed miracles of God.

If you actually witness the miracle of that god, you can’t help but think it’s amazing.

“Really…? Then, is it possible to heal someone who just died?”

“Anyway, it would be impossible to bring the dead back to life unless you are a Necromancer…”

“is it…?”

“But even if that’s not the case, he’s a really great person. He’ll save almost everyone if his life is attached to him.”

Well, of course, I can’t do such nonsense as raising the dead.

Even so, the saintess’ power was to the point that she could never be ignored.

In fact, it has far more power than any cleric.

As much as I was a warrior, I had no choice but to admit it.

“I see…”

Lili nodded as she listened to my words.

However, Lily immediately tilted her head.

“But, I heard the story, the hero didn’t take the saint… Oppa. Why didn’t the hero take the saint?”

Lily looked at me with an expression as if she had found a contradiction in my words.

No matter how he thought about it, he seemed to think that the words were not right.

It’s so great, why couldn’t I join the warrior’s party…? He expressed such pure doubts.

“Hmm… well…?”

Ordinary people wouldn’t know much about it…

But since I’m the party, I don’t know…

The reason I didn’t take the saintess…

In fact, the saintess, like the owner of the mage tower, was an outcast as a colleague.
