80 Episode 80 "The King Asks Princess Sylvia" (1/2)

After that, we talked to the beastmen who had grown quiet.

They were living in a corner of the territory of the ”Gurutra Guard” next to the ”Kittle Guard”.

The beastmen prefer to live in the mountains because of their physical strength.

It is said that they were uncomfortable to live in the plains because of the forest, so they secretly moved to another territory.

The existence of beastmen has been tolerated for a long time. ...... Recently, the lord of the Gurutra territory has changed. ......

In exchange for paying a heavy tax, they were asked to become ...... their own private army.

The beastmen began to talk vaguely about such things.

The Gurutra Guard had two children.

One was a prince and the other a princess. The prince was the heir.

The princess was a kind person who sometimes came to check on her people, and the chief beastman had met her before. The prince, however, is said to have a strong desire for advancement and has been sending letters to the Ten Wise Masters in the capital.

So this time, he used his own magician to cast black magic on the beastmen and make them his tools.

”Thank you very much for releasing me from ....... And who are you, ......?

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for, and what you can do to help.

「「「「 ohhh ohhh ohhh! 」」」」

I'm not sure what to do.

Don't reveal my alias out of the blue.

The beastmen are impressed!

While we were away from the frontier, the king of the subhumans appeared!

Then why did we have to leave the ...... frontier?

”O king. Please ...... forgive me for the crime of pointing my weapon at you.

The beastmen have all fallen flat on the ground.

By the way, Princess Renesmee is ...... holding her head in the carriage.

”Scary fence, scary moving fence. It's scary. ......” It's like the trauma has returned.

If you're afraid of ”soldiers of will,” why didn't you just tell me? I've already told you the plan.

...... I didn't realize that the lords of the neighboring regions were enemies.

I've only heard of the Gurutra Patriarch.

We don't border the frontier, so we didn't need to worry about it.

But if ...... it became an enemy, it would be ...... troublesome.

”O king of the frontier. What should we do with these men?

One of the soldiers, a ...... captain woman, comes to me.

The beastmen were ...... manipulated, so there is no question of their guilt. Princess Sylvia has instructed me to leave it to the King of the Frontier to decide what to do. But the others are at ......?

”They've been raiding the Kittle Keep. It would be better if Princess Sylvia brought them to justice with her own hands.

I'm getting tired of talking in the 'High King's tone' too.

I want to go back to the frontier and relax.

I want to .............

I'll ask you a question.

”What is it, sir?

In the castle of Lord Keeper Kittle, is there a prison where wizards can be locked up?

...... We have a regular prison, but not one for wizards. I think we'll have to put someone on guard who knows magic.

”...... I see.

I looked down at the cowering man in the robes.

He's half unconscious, shaking slightly.

We're in a ward.

The black wizard might be damaged, just as the demons inside the wards are damaged. So it's better to put this wizard in a cell inside the wards. You never know what he might do.

But the Kittle family's castle wasn't inside the wards after all.

I reactivated one of the frontier wards and two of the Kittle Keep's wards based on information from a traveling merchant.

Thanks to that, I got the ability to transfer, and the wards are now connected from the frontier to the Kittle Keep.

But there is still an empty space.

The magic circle that connects the frontier to the Kittle Realm still doesn't connect to the Zanjinsha Castle.

There must be a magic circle in this territory that we don't know about yet.

That's right. I'll have Lysette and the beastmen return to the frontier.

Is that so, sir?

The beastmen have just been freed from black magic. They'll need time to calm down. Then I'll ask for more information.

What will the king do then?

I'd like to see Princess Sylvia.

I'd like to see Princess Sylvia.” I told the captain of the soldiers and then looked at Lisette.

I'm sorry, Lysette, but you'll have to take these people back to the village. I'll go with you to the nearby magic circle. After that, I want you to take them to Hazama Village and let them rest.

”Okay, sir. But, ......, where's your brother Shoma?

”I'm going to look for the last magic circle in Kittle's territory.

”...... I understand.

Lysette smiled calmly and nodded.

But, are you sure?　If you do that, you're going to end up with a lot of power in this Kittle territory.　No, Lysette is fine with that. ...... In fact, I think it would be better for you to rule this place. ......

”It can't be helped. I'm going to be the one with the shadow power.

I sighed.

I didn't want to spread the power of the deformed High King any further.

I didn't want to spread the power of the Deformed High King any further, but I suppose it can't be helped if the neighboring governor is also an enemy.

I'll try to persuade Princess Sylvia to allow me to wield my power in all of the Kittle Patriarchate.

But that's only if Princess Sylvia doesn't cooperate.

I'm sure she will. I'm sure she will.

How do you know?

I've met her a few times and she looks at you the same way she looks at Lisette, Haruka and Yukino.

...... Does that mean she trusts you?

That's right. That's how it is.

Lysette held her mouth and laughed.

A few hours later.

I was at the castle of the Kittle family.

I've been here many times, but it's still big. I think the name is ”Seelal Castle”.

This is the castle of the currently absent Governor Kittle, where Princess Sylvia and Princess Llanes are currently living.

I entered the castle with Princess Renesmee's carriage and her soldiers.

Then I told the gatekeeper to send for Princess Sylvia.

A message was sent and I was immediately ushered into the castle's reception room.
