Chapter 83 Intermission Symphonia Kingdom ~ The World Kings Visit ~ (1/2)
Symphonia Kingdom, in the Audience Room.
This was originally a place where people would receive the audience of the King of Symphonia Kingdom, but the current situation was very different from how it normally is.
The king steps down from his throne and bows to his guest, while the prime minister and the other important people in the country also took a similar posture, a scene that is rarely seen by the public.
This is only because the person who has come to visit has far more authority than the king.
“I apologize for my unexpected visit.”
[No, it would always be my honor and delight to see your face. “World King, Lillywood Yggdrasil-sama”.]
That’s right, the one who is currently visiting the royal palace…… is one of the Six Kings, the pinnacles of the Demon Realm, and the one who had deep connections with the Symphonia Kingdom for a thousand year, the World King, Lillywood Yggdrasil.
For the Symphonia Kingdom who had an abundance of nature, she’s the being who brought about their bountiful harvest and is truly the most important guest for the Symphonia Kingdom. Someone that they shouldn’t express any disrespect at all.
“I will be quick, Symphonia’s King Ryze Lia Symphonia XVIII.”
[Y- Yes!]

Hearing her quiet voice echo, Symphonia’s King…… Ryze’s shoulders twitched.
The voice announcing that just now was cold and intimidating, which was unusual for the very mild-mannered Lillywood.
“I heard that you made a dissatisfactory treatment against the otherworlder Miyama Kaito by deliberately not inviting him to the evening party.”
[!? T- That is……]
Receiving Lillywood’s words, Ryze’s face turned pale and he broke out in a cold sweat.
That one is an issue that’s been bothering Ryze very much lately…… No, it was a mistake of the past.
He was very much in love with his younger sister, Lilia, and he didn’t like the idea of a man staying at her house…… However, the other party was an otherworlder, and he couldn’t just recklessly threaten him.
That’s why he didn’t send him an invitation as a small harassment, but it caused him an unexpected situation.
After that one incident, the Underworld King Kuromueina has clearly become hostile towards the royal palace, and as if someone had told them something, the followers of the Underworld King, who are also numerous in the royal palace, began to dislike Ryze.
They sent emissaries to the Underworld King a few times, hoping to somehow get a chance to plead his case, but they were all sent back by a maid, half-dead.

Because of this, Ryze’s position in the royal palace had become quite bad, but he didn’t expect to be pursued further by Lillywood here.
Ryze has somehow managed to explain to her, but Lillywood stopped him from speaking further and spoke to him, colder than before.
“Don’t get me wrong…… I didn’t come here to ask you a question. I’ve already heard everything I need from my followers and know that what they’re telling is the truth. Or perhaps, do you think my people have been lying to me?”
[……N- No, they didn’t make any mistake.]
“……I’m not here to ask whether that act was done by you personally or that was the will of the country itself.”
No sound could be heard at all. The King’s retainers also couldn’t speak either. To speak out to her, is in itself, an act of opposition to the World King, and if they do so, they will lose their position.
That’s how important the existence of the World King is to the Symphonia Kingdom, and if they were to touch her anger, there is no other path for Symphonia King but destruction.
“Let me tell you the real issue here. There’s only one thing I’m telling you to do. To make a “clear and sincere apology to the otherworlder, Miyama Kaito, in a public venue”, do you understand what I mean?”
[Y- Yes…… H- However, that is……]
The demand of Lillywood, that is to say, for the King to bow down in public, is a tremendous blow to Ryze from the eyes of the public.

While Ryze hesitated in his reply, Lillywood just looked at him coldly before she continued.
“If this isn’t done as soon as possible…… I will cut off all ties with the Symphonia Kingdom from now on.”
[ ! ? ! ? ]
At those words, not only Ryze, but all the people who heard her had their eyes wide open.
It’s not an exaggeration to say that Lillywood is the one who controls the fertility of the Symphonia Kingdom, and not to mention the Elves, many of the farmers also have faith in Lillywood as if she was a God.
If Lillywood were to give up on the Symphonia Kingdom, many of the Elves, Fairies, Spirits, and farms would turn their weapons to the royal palace at once.
These words, so to speak, were so heavy that they could even be considered a declaration of destruction for the Symphonia Kingdom.
“Is that clear? Symphonia’s King.”
