Chapter 509
Because he escaped from the vengeful spirit that was gradually killing him, the demon king regained his strength as if he had never been ill.
Everything is back to peak condition.
However, there was silence between Eddie and the high-ranking officials.
Very few people know what happened.
Liana de Granz single-handedly deceived the Demon King.
However, this time all the aides worked together to deceive the demon king.
Even though it was said to save the demon king, in the end the demon king’s doctor did not ask.
That’s why I did that to save the demon king, but I had no choice but to hold my breath while watching my notice.
It’s a situation where you can’t help but be angry. It wasn’t enough that he cheated once again, this time all his closest aides joined forces to trick him.
Everyone was afraid because it was unknown how the demon king’s anger would be expressed.
Harriet, Olivia, Irie, Charlotte, and the Senate.
I was afraid because I didn’t know what Reinhardt would say about this.
but.
The demon king didn’t say anything.
anger too.
Sad too.
Hate too.
resentment too.
didn’t say anything
The demon king sat all day on the tallest spire in Edina and did not say anything.
What are you thinking, how are you feeling?
don’t tell anyone
Rather, it frightened everyone.
What the hell is the king thinking?
Reinhardt didn’t even open his mouth about what he was going to say about this.
Everyone held their breath and looked at the demon king.
* * *
Edina’s tall spire.
It was a castle built on a cliff in the first place, and among them, the top of the highest spire was a place the demon king often visited.
Because it is a place where you can see all the panoramic views of Edina.
“Reinhardt… … .”
“huh.”
“Eat some of this. Didn’t you eat anything today?”
Reinhardt looks at the sandwich Harriet brought.
“thank you.”
The Demon King accepted the sandwich and took a bite.
It’s not really starving.
It’s not like I’m ignoring others.
It’s not that I’m particularly resentful of anyone.
Just sitting at the top of the spire all day.
I was just looking down at Edina from the top of the spire all day, wondering what I was thinking.
He didn’t ignore anyone who spoke to him.
Charlotte was in charge of all state affairs anyway, so Reinhardt didn’t have to do anything himself in Edina.
So, even if you stay like this all day, Edina runs well on her own.
Harriet was restless, unable to sit next to Reinhardt or leave.
After Reinhardt found out what had happened, he didn’t blame or blame anyone.
It was just doing this.
Everyone was feeling guilt and fear in that action.
“It hurts.”
“… … huh?”
After being silent for a while, Reinhardt looked up at Harriet.
Harriet suddenly felt fear in Reinhardt’s gaze.
What are you trying to say now?
What anger, what rebuke, what price should I pay for cheating?
When Harriet wants to hear Reinhardt’s words in a feeling of tightening her heart, but feels the fear of not wanting to hear it.
“Because I experienced it last time. It’s good, but that’s it. Dream manipulation.”
“ah… … ? uh, yes.”
Reinhardt brought up a completely different story.
“The ability to control Airi’s dreams. Couldn’t it be realized with magic?”
“huh? Why is that all of a sudden?”
“No, I thought I was going to lose my mind, but it felt better because Airi took care of her while she slept.”
sounds totally weird.
“Assuming that it is implemented with something like an artifact, such a dream wavelength? how to say I wondered what it would be like to create something like an artifact that emits such an aura by enchanting it. Then, wouldn’t it be possible for everyone living within a certain area to have good dreams, or something like that?”
“eww… … . Yes?”
Harriet thinks that Reinhardt can talk like this, but he’s not in the situation to do it.
However, the story was saying something completely different, perhaps dismissed as trivial, without even mentioning it.
The Demon King was acting as if he had completely forgotten about the Ellen Artorius case.

Of course, it would be pointless to take out anger and get angry about what has already happened, but Ellen cannot be a meaningless person to Reinhardt.
But the story of an artifact about a dream out of nowhere.
Harriet had no idea what Reinhardt was thinking right now.
“If we could plant such artifacts throughout Edina step by step, wouldn’t it help heal people’s trauma?”
“Uh, uh… … . I guess so.”
“I’m not saying you have to make it, I’m just trying to think about what it would be like if I could do it.”
Reinhardt just said that while munching on his sandwich.
Everyone knew that Reinhardt would be very angry and proceeded with this.
But people felt in real time that the scariest reprimand is no reprimand at all.
I don’t know what he’s thinking because he doesn’t say anything, and I can’t tell how angry he is because he doesn’t get angry at all.
In the midst of tension like that of thin ice, in the end, someone had to step in.
A week after the incident.
“majesty.”
Elerith climbed the spire where Reinhardt was killing time.
* * *
“Oh, are you here?”
Reinhardt nodded slightly and moved his gaze back to the city of Razak.
Ellerith looked at Reinhardt quietly.
There was no anger, sadness, or lightheartedness on his face.
Elerith did not know what to begin with to the silent demon lord.
“Your Highness, about the last time… … .”
“Ah, that.”
Reinhardt looked at Elerith.
“Why is that?”
Elleris seemed to freeze at the reaction that seemed to be what it was.
I don’t know if he’s calm, detached, or suppressing his emotions. Elleris said she couldn’t figure out what to say, but eventually she had to find something to say.
“It’s okay… … . Are you sure?”
It was a terrible feeling to ask someone who couldn’t be okay if they were okay, but Elleris had no choice but to speak up.
Emotions that have been suppressed may burst out like an explosion.
In that case, Elleris did not know what to do.
“hmm… … .”
The demon king quietly looks down at the whole view of Razak.
“You’ve said that before.”
“What are you talking about… … .”
“I hope it won’t be a sad relationship. It was. Me and Ellen.”
“ah… … .”
Ellerith remembered when the demon king spoke.
In the Dark Land, Ellerith accompanied Ellen and Reinhardt under a pseudonym.
After learning that Ellen was the younger brother of Lagann Artorius, Elleris said so as if she had a premonition of an ominous fate.
The Demon King’s son and the hero’s younger sister.
I had a hunch that the relationship would never have a good ending.
Now that time has passed, the demon king’s son has become the demon king, and the hero’s sister has become the hero.
It has already become a sad relationship.
Beyond sadness, it became a cruel relationship.
“Somehow, I think it was meant to be like this.”
“yes… … ?”
“For whatever reason, whatever the cause, who intended it.”
Reinhardt just looked down at the city of Razak.
“I feel like this was supposed to happen.”
Elleris couldn’t understand the demon king’s words.
“No matter how much I struggle, no matter how much I hate to face that situation, it feels like this is what was meant to be.”
The hero who was afraid of fighting the demon lord took on the hatred of mankind.
In the end, you have no choice but to fight.
“That’s why it’s no use blaming anyone, just thinking that way.”
You can’t escape from this world where a fixed ending is forced.
The Demon King really wasn’t blaming anyone.
Elleris did not understand what the devil was talking about.
That logic could only be understood by the demon lord himself.
These days, the Demon King is not looking at the city of Razak.
[Preview activated.]
I was just going back and forth over and over again to see that message and the scene it showed.
The one who lost his life to Ellen and himself.
Ellen looked down blankly.
Ellen just stood there and looked down at Reinhardt with empty eyes.
finish
The figure holding the Void Sword with both hands, inversely, thrusting it into his own chest.
And then, kneeling in front of the fallen demon king, slowly dying.
again and again
again and again
I was just watching it over and over again.
“So anyway, I’m not particularly upset, so tell everyone not to worry.”
Reinhardt just said that while smiling lightly.
* * *
I think the future that the preview showed me is like the last evil I will have to suffer.
Ellen kills me, and she kills herself.
I don’t know when or what moment that would be.
However, if things go on like this, one day I will fight with Ellen and be killed by Ellen.
And, Ellen also kills herself.
That was the last future given to me.
I don’t know what remains outside the landscape I saw. Did Edina perish, did humanity perish, or were both of them fine.
After or before the gate crisis.
I don’t know.
In the end, the path I have to go is fixed in some way.
You won’t be able to force them to bring back what went into Ellen. Ellen won’t cooperate this time.
Even if I can bring it back, things will get twisted and twisted, and then it seems that the future will come when I fight Ellen in a different way.
So accept it.
fixed future.
You have to fight Ellen.
If I can’t kill, I will die, and if I die, Ellen will die too.
I don’t know if the Ellen I saw was the Ellen who lost her self because she was possessed by a grudge. Perhaps Ellen is holding the initiative of that body.
No matter what, no matter how I try to avoid it, the future will find me.
So there was no such thing as anger.
Because I was exposed to so much malice, I only felt a sense of despondency mixed with the fact that it became like this.
Can we change this future?
The preview isn’t what it looks for my desperation.
It shows that if you can change this future, change it.
Of course, now it feels like I’m just showing it to see my despair.
It is not difficult to change the future I saw now.
Either I die now, or Ellen dies now.
If only one of the two events occurs, that future disappears.
Even taking one’s own life is too easy, so I can’t see that future as absolute.
It’s not an absolute future, it’s a future that can be changed so easily.
However, those easy ways are not something I would choose, so that future is bound to come after all.
If this future is really unstoppable, and it’s just to F*ck me up, then the taffy man shouldn’t have shown it to me.
What I dare to show is that someday a situation like this will come, so I have to struggle again.
The future doesn’t come the moment you know it.
As if some of the futures I saw didn’t happen in real life.
This case is simple.
If I’m weak, I die and so does Ellen.
So, I just need to be stronger than Ellen.
It just shows such a simple fact.
Everyone must be wondering why I’m not angry, why I’m not reprimanding anyone.
However, I was the only one who could understand why I was doing this, so I couldn’t help but explain this feeling.
“Did you call, great being.”
At the spire of the Razak Castle, I heard the voice of Antirianus answering my call.
I heard that it was Antirianus who proposed that Ellen bear the ghost I was carrying.
always.
A mad old man who suggests options that seem to be for me, but are not for me at all.
“Are you angry with me?”
“That doesn’t mean much.”
I speak without looking at Antirianus.
“Obviously, I knew you were going to kill me.”
“What use would that be?”
It’s not that I’m not angry. Because the case of Antirianus is special.
It is true that heat spreads.
But is anger meaningful?
Would killing Antirianus mean anything?
While trying to stop the gate incident, the gate incident occurred.
The world has become like this, but there is no way that what I want can come true so easily.
It’s better because it can’t be done easily.
Doesn’t that mean there’s a bit of a possibility?
And getting Ellen back.
Isn’t that something that might be possible?
no matter how thin it is
no matter how close to impossible that is.
I don’t think all possibilities are closed.
So, do what you can.
“I’m about to make you an offer that’s hard to refuse.”
“haha… … . That’s interesting.”
Antirianus seemed amused and began to listen to me.
