114. Let’s see

Carlos II.

The absolute ruler of the kingdom, the owner of the throne, the first in the hierarchy, the most supreme being, the king.

I heard that they are called by all sorts of fancy names.

Of course, in a world where the king is the best, it wouldn’t be strange to be called by a more title than that.

But for now, just one word for him would suffice.

– Corpse.-

I don’t think there’s anything lacking in that one word.

Literally, the current state of Carlos II is almost corpse.

Just a few days ago when I met him, he was a king who had his own personality and was correct.

Although his son’s bastard’s ramblings ruined his family.

So there was no senile energy, but it wasn’t serious.

It was impossible to see that everyone was dying.

“… Did you come….”

However, it was difficult to see the current Carlos II as the same person.

Should I say that it wouldn’t be strange if I ran out of breath right away?

The wheezing, light breathing, and even the skinny body are the worst.

As Lily said, the red aura that attacked the soldiers and knights.

It seemed to affect the king as well, she said.

It’s just that unlike those who are young and strong, their bodies are old.

On top of that, I was mentally drained considerably.

I expected that the damage my body received would be much worse than them.

… I really didn’t know it would be this serious.

I can’t help but sigh when I look at the skin and bones in contact with each other.

“That, your disciples… The warriors….”

“Everyone is fine.”

Although Garam was injured, he didn’t say that part.

Because there may be people around you listening, and there is no reason to tell the king about it.

“Thank God… this is….”

“It’s hard to see it as fortunate. Because the most important person is doing this.”

It’s not something you throw at once to flatter yourself.

The king has fallen.

Even in a constitutional monarchy, when the king falls, it has quite a big impact.

Moreover, this place has the world view of the monarchy.

In that world, the king is the country itself.

People in that world believe that a country exists only when there is a king.

That’s where the king fell.

Even in front of all the soldiers and knights.

It wasn’t just that, he was vomiting blood profusely.

With this, the victory in the royal castle battle could be a joke.

There is a good chance that confusion will arise from the news that the king has fallen.

That’s why I’m affirming that I’m not this lucky.

“Heh, hehehehe…. The battle… Was it better to leave it…. Was it for nothing….”

If you say that, it’s a bit hard to accept because it’s true again.

For the king to go directly to the battlefield could bring about the worst situation.

However, on the contrary, it also works as an effect for those standing on the battlefield to fight to the end.

As I heard the story of the disciples right away, Carlos II was standing on the battlefield, not in the royal castle.

Thanks to that, not only the knights but also the soldiers fought hard.

Although the king himself was having a hard time because his children’s farming went bankrupt.

Because he didn’t ruin the country at least, he was able to earn that loyalty.

And the target of that loyalty appeared directly on the battlefield and fought together.

Soldiers and knights had a reason to fight to the end without losing courage.

“You don’t seem to have the energy to speak, but just talk about the main topic.”

Of course, that loyalty is not necessary from my point of view.

“… Help me.”

“What do you mean by asking for help?”

“Anyway, I… I don’t think I’ll ever wake up again. So, the seniority… I am thinking of doing it.”

“Didn’t you tell me before that the princess was in a mess?”

Honestly, it’s even weirder if you’re fine after going through that.

I almost got hurt by his younger brother, but I can’t help but get hurt.

He has no way of erasing it if it remains as a trauma.

Aside from just waiting for it to slowly fade away over a long period of time.

“So… ask for help… Do it…. You. Yo, the teacher of the warriors… Didn’t you?”

“So, since you are the one who taught those great people, there must be some way, and with that way, please make her princess better somehow. What do you mean?”

At my words, Carlos II frantically nods his head.

It seems that I was in a bit of a hurry.

To say that it hurts so much, yet to express such a positive meaning so passionately.

But….

“Stop talking nonsense.”

“What… ?”

“All the people I have taught are ready-made ‘gemstones’. It’s not that I’m not without any talent, but it’s true that the level of the students I’m teaching couldn’t even compare to the criminals.”

“What….”

“If you bring a cracked stone from the side of the road and ask how to make it look like a jewel, there is no craftsman in the world who will accept it.”

I won’t give you useless hope torture.

And there will be no backbiting or good words.

If you don’t go hard, this king will never accept reality.

What we need now is not someone’s teaching or support.

It is important to suppress the hurt yourself and move forward.

Would it be a trauma if it got better by being pushed on the back?

“Cool! Cool, cool!”

“I admit that it is harsh. But this is reality. Your Majesty would know. Where is the usual seat? It is said that the position of the king is not so easy. If someone with a problem is seated in a hurry, there will surely be an accident.”

“That’s it! You know that… ! But nonetheless… !!”

“Because I taught the warriors. As their teacher. To those who have closed the door of their heart, they can open it wide. There is no such sharp trick.”

At my answer, Carlos II made a desperate expression.

It must have reminded me of my existence while I was sick.

Unfortunately, I have no intention of accepting his request.

There are things I don’t particularly like about the king, but the reason I just mentioned is bigger than that.

From the teacher to the disciples, everyone was open to some extent.

Even if that’s not the case, if you squeeze in a little bit, they will open right away.

Critically, I already knew about them too.

However, there is not a single line of information about the princess.

I first encountered the exact state of affairs through the king.

I am not a psychological counselor, what should I do with a traumatized person?

It would be fortunate if he didn’t even scream that he was the same man.

“Rather, the king should do it rather than me. To make the princess come out.”

“Me too… I know. But… But isn’t there a way?”

“Again, I don’t know. The princess might come to her senses at a moment like this, saying, “Don’t worry about world affairs.”

“You still don’t know… You should take a look. If that’s hard Even one of the false heroes….”

Carlos II keeps behaving like that, so this side is also in trouble.

The prince has already died, and the princess is all that remains as the heir.

It is said that there are some other collaterals, but if you do that, this country will really perish.

It’s still confusing, but imagine that a collateral becomes a king.

Will the aristocrats really stand still, or will it lead to a power struggle?

And because of that, wouldn’t the dead demon worshipers raise their heads again?

That was the only thing I was most worried about.

“… After seeing it, you may even more solidify the idea that there is no answer, that it is wrong.”

“I don’t care. Just… Let me look at the condition… If you don’t have an answer… If the one who taught the warriors says so… I gave up all hope… I guess I could take a different route….”

Haa, I let out a sigh.

Perhaps he still has some lingering feelings for his children and the prepared successor.

It’s not very pleasant because it seems like they grabbed me as an excuse to shake it off.

But if Carlos II really dies in this way.

And if the throne becomes empty, of course the chaos will increase like crazy.

That is to make all the efforts of the disciples in vain.

As a teacher of the Honey guys, I think I should at least put in some effort.

“Good.”

“… Huh?”

“Just once. While Her Majesty is being treated, I will go see her princess. I don’t know what else to say alone, so let’s go with her ladies-in-waiting and one of my pupils.”

“I, really… ? If you do that, I’d really appreciate it….”

“I hope you don’t have any expectations. There is a saying that you are betrayed because you have expectations.”

Teacher ‘T’ is always right.

I always think of that word whenever I read it.

The moment I expected even the slightest, it was ruined very miserably. f*ck.

* * * * * * * * * *

“… So you’re going to meet the princess?”

“Yes. Since it’s a request from the king, you can’t just refuse it outright.”

Then I see Garam and Xenia’s blue eyes flashing.

The light of being seriously worried about something is clear in both eyes.

It’s clear what exactly you’re concerned about, but I’d like to say that it’s unfounded.

The princess isn’t even a hero, and she has no reason to come under me.

By the way, I’m only going to visit once formally because of the King’s request.

It’s not interesting, it’s a waste of time, and anyway, it’s all annoying.

I just want to learn a new herbivore from my master.

“Rather than that, I think it’s the first time we’ve all gathered in one place like this.”

At my words, the disciples looked around and nodded.

Starting with Garam, Xenia, Daisy, and Iris.

And Gerard, then Lily, then Esther, and finally Iris.

A total of eight warriors gathered in one place.

“Since we don’t know when a meeting like this will be held again, there will be many things we want to say. But, unfortunately, I can’t afford that. One of the enemies was captured, but another one appeared. And even at this moment, I don’t know where else such a guy will appear.”

The disciples and the warriors nodded in unison.

Enmity is not one, and neither is it two.

They will continue as long as their source of fear and terror does not disappear.

“We move as we always do. However, from now on, individual actions are prohibited. It may be a bit inconvenient for the followers, but even if they can’t, two or more stick together and act.”

“But Master. When that happens, the radius of activity naturally narrows.”

“I can’t help it. So, you will have to move more diligently.”

“It certainly seems inevitable.”

“Instead, as the capital attack fails this time, they will be greatly intimidated. Even if I can’t see it, it’s clear that half of their power must have been blown away. It’s a pity that I missed the enmity, but I don’t think the devil worshipers will be able to do it.”

According to the disciples, there were nearly a thousand worshipers who died.

Considering that all of them were capable of combat.

It is safe to say that this was the level of the organization’s military strength, risking life and death in the battle for the capital.

“Nothing will change. Just do the same as you did before. You just need to get rid of your fears and protect even the smallest hope. Just pay a little more attention than before. Got it?”

“Yes, Master!”
