Chapter 633
As the Grand Duke said, if I don’t have a vengeance, I’m a strange being.
There are many people who hate me because the devil caused everything.
However, hating is hating, and there are some who think that it is natural for a prince of the Demon Realm whose world was destroyed by mankind in the first place.
The right to destroy humanity.
If not me, who else has it?
Rather, it’s strange if you don’t want that.
That’s why people take it for granted that I want the destruction of mankind because of my perfect and overflowing motives.
But it was surprising.
The Grand Duke was preparing for death.
“It’s okay if you kill me, I was going to tell you to save my daughter.”
The reason why the grand duke was making a spleen expression wasn’t because he was so angry at his daughter’s thief.
He was prepared to die.
The Archduke is my enemy.
The guy who deserves to kill himself even has a precious daughter.
That’s why, I thought that if my life was asked for, I should of course give it up.
Even after learning that the Great War was an unfair war, the Grand Duke felt guilty towards me.
“If I do something like that, I will fall forward…” … . No, how do you look at his face?”
“is it.”
The Archduke smiled faintly and nodded.
It’s a weird situation.
The Archduke must have been thinking about a problem I hadn’t thought about at all.
Harriet followed me.
The Archduke must have been thinking. Am I using Harriet, or am I really cherishing it?
If you think it’s precious, do you think it’s precious even though you’re the enemy’s daughter?
What do you think about that enemy?
I would have been thinking about it all along.
So, at the request for contact, the Grand Duke came to think that something had finally come.
Was it because he thought that he might have to make such a gruesome choice to guarantee his daughter’s safety in return for sacrificing his head?
However, when I actually came, I was restless with the look on my daughter’s thief’s face.
That’s right.
From the archduke’s point of view, I met him with the determination to die.
Because the guy who deserved to kill me is looking bewildered with an expression that deserves to die.
It must have been a very eerie feeling.
soon.
The reason why there was silence for over an hour was that neither the Archduke nor I had anything to say to each other.
Because each other only has a sense of guilt.
So the Archduke became dumbfounded when he realized that I was vengeful and nabal in the first place, and that there was not even the slightest bit of that.
“It’s bizarre, you don’t even seem to have any self-consciousness that you’re the Demon King.”
okay.
It’s strange from the point of view that there should be a minimum of vengeance, but not even that level is just because the demon king is good.
“Actually, it has nothing to do with it. I don’t have any memories of my days as a prince of the Pandemonium, and it would be correct to say that I was born anew the day the Pandemonium War ended.”
“It’s like knowing the future.”
“It’s meaningless now, though.”
There is nothing good about saying that I am the creator.
I won’t even believe it
“okay… … .”
The Archduke sat down on the bench, as if he would not understand what he could not understand.
Are you feeling like you’ve endured ten years?
To be honest, I did not come here with a light heart, but the Grand Duke decided to meet me with a heavy heart that was incomparably heavier than mine.
More than I can imagine, humanity’s leaders must fear me.
At the same time as being afraid, I realized that I had no choice but to admit the legitimacy of my vengeance.
I learned that my act of trying to subdue humanity, rather than annihilate it, could in some sense be accepted as forgiveness by the leaders.
If this is a good thing, is it a good thing?
Revenge was not in my imagination, so I couldn’t even think about it. Rather, those who feared the devil, not me, were justifying, meaning, and rationalizing the logic of my actions.
I can still
The one who has the right to destroy mankind wants to forgive and rule over mankind.
Someone will tremble at the oppression, but someone can appreciate the mercy and generosity of the devil.
Like the attitude the Grand Duke is showing now.
“… … I think you know what you want.”
The Archduke knows what I mean now, even if I don’t have to say it.
“Do you need my strength?”
Archduke’s knowledge.
Archduke’s power.
and the territory of the Archduke.
There, people.
“yes.”
In other words, everything in the Duchy of Saint-Ouan.

“okay… … .”
The Archduke nodded.
“If that could be even the slightest bit of repayment for all the things I did to you and the demons. I should do that.”
“People will point fingers even more.”
“It has nothing to do with that.”
The Grand Duke smiles faintly.
“Beings have a duty, and they just follow that duty.”
The grand duke, who was thought to be innocent, has become a sinful person.
“I thought I had kept that duty, but in the end, even thinking about it was just arrogance.”
Even those who always thought they had to go the right way, even those who thought they had come the right way, look back at some point and realize that they came on the wrong path.
The Grand Duke finally admits his arrogance.
“If that’s the case, then I should do what I can.”
I admit that the judgment that I have believed that I can judge the good way was overconfidence.
“My power is yours from now on.”
No one can be right all the time.
like everyone does
The Grand Duke was such a person.
* * *
The Duchy of Saint-Ouan decided to stand on my side.
It was completely different from what I thought.
I was worried about what would happen if the Archduke tried to kill me.
The Grand Duke thought that he had to cooperate with me even for his sins.
The process was different from what I had imagined, but it produced the desired result.
“It would be nice if we could go after a meal, but I wouldn’t be ready yet.”
“ah… … . yes.”
I’m not talking about meal preparation, but other preparations.
Did the Grand Duke tell the Grand Duchess that he was prepared for death?
Even if he said it or not, if he met the Grand Duchess now, she might have a heart attack.
I had confirmed with my own eyes that Harriet was safe, but the Grand Duchess must be as afraid of me as the Grand Duke.
“Please explain. If you come later, then you will be able to get hit like before.”
You will only see it after the Grand Duke first explains this and that to the Grand Duchess.
It’s like before.
When I first came to Arnaria, thinking about the Grand Duchess and Harriet’s older brothers who treated me, I couldn’t help but feel nostalgic for some reason.
It was incredibly burdensome at the time.
Can I go back to the way it was before?
The Grand Duke’s words somehow made my heart thump.
You can go back like before.
Yes, you can.
Even if things that can’t be undone can’t be helped.
The things that can be undone are undoubtedly, undoable.
“You should have had something of your own, by the way. Is there any place in this world that can do that?”
“There are. It’s not huge, but… … .”
Perhaps it was strange that there was still a safe place to plant a flag in the bloody land, the Archduke nodded slowly.
Wouldn’t it be okay if it was the Grand Duke?
no one else anymore
No, I don’t think it was someone else in the first place.
“I think it would be okay to stop by if you want.”
At those words, the grand duke widened his eyes.
“… … Really?”
Maybe.
It was clear that he was excited about being able to see with his own eyes where his daughter had been.
i am the king
If I want to do it, I do it. What?
However, the words of the Duchess that I heard a while ago passed by.
I don’t even know if it’s a wolf or a sheep, and I’m going to go to the fence, and if the wolf comes in, what will I do?
The grand duke is not just anyone.
However, it is dangerous for many people to know about Edina.
Right now, not even Rowen has been to Edina.
“that… … . M-I’m sorry to say this, but… … . It is not for me to decide alone.”
It’s a bit trashy to let you down after making expectations out of shape, but I don’t think this is a matter for me to decide alone.
“Yeah, but now that it’s like this, Harriet can come here from time to time… … . Because it can… … .”
“Yeah, I see what you mean. If you think so, it would be better if I didn’t know. I understand.”
The Archduke nodded his head as if he knew what I was careful about, and as if he wasn’t sorry.
And it seemed that I was already satisfied with the fact that I wasn’t alone in deciding the affairs of my world.
Oh really.
Because of this, Adelia is going crazy.
That’s right.
Because of the atmosphere that was heavier and more serious than I thought, it was only then that I remembered what I had barely forgotten.
Adelia.
Adelia’s problem is stuck in my head and won’t leave.
“… … didn’t you say it was okay? There is no need to be sorry.”
“no… … . that, that’s not it. Thank you for your understanding.”
The Archduke had another misunderstanding.
what’s really going on with that
I always knew that the Archduke of Saint-Ouane was an idiot, but I also knew that the Archduke was actually a proper nobleman and a good person.
I was trying not to say anything.
I can’t stand it.
Does the Grand Duke really not know?
Shall we try a little bit of luck?
“The Titan, by the way.”
The Grand Duke folded his arms at my words.
“I can fully cooperate with whatever you do in the future, but giving it the power of a titan is impossible.”
No, it wasn’t like that.
But anyway, we have to talk about the operation of the titan.
“As you know, the operation of Titan is a magical weapon that you and your classmate Adelia must operate together. It is impossible for me to operate the Titan by myself because I need two devices called Master Orbs.”
I know that.
But naturally, Adelia’s story became a hot topic.
“And if you intend to use the Titans for war… … .”
It is clear that he thinks that great damage will occur. Of course, the Grand Duke has nothing to say if I want such a thing, but in the end, there is no way the Grand Duke wants a large-scale bloodshed.
“No, no. Why am I writing that?”
“ah… … is it.”
“It is enough that it is not used in important situations.”
“okay. If you really have to use a titan, you’re dragging that kid into something dangerous… … . Frankly, he doesn’t want that.”
okay.
If you have Archduke and Adelia, you can activate the Titan.
It is close to a safety device, but rather, if only the two are captured, the Titan’s weakness is that it can be operated without anyone’s permission.
Although Adelia is a genius, in the end, she is a child to the Grand Duke.
I would never want to be dragged into the struggle for supremacy between the Dark Land and the Empire.
anyway.
Rather, it was an opportunity now that Adelia’s name came out without much sense of incongruity.
“Even with Titan… … . Speaking of which, that… … . you know Adelia.”
“Oh yeah.”
“What is he… … . How are you?”
carefully.
not to be suspicious.
Let’s hear what the Archduke thinks.
If you don’t know, I have no intention of telling you.
I’m just confirming that the Archduke really doesn’t know.
The Archduke hesitated at my question… … . he sighed.
“Yes, you said Adelia was very close with our youngest… … .”
He seems to think I’m asking Harriet and asking these things.
this is good news
“I can’t say I’m doing well by following you around the battlefield.”
It was a bit odd to ask how you were doing.
“Apart from being well, you can consider yourself safe.”
I don’t want to ask if it’s safe or not, I just want to know what the Archduke thinks of Adelia.
what to do
“For the Grand Duke, Adelia… … . What kind of child do you think you are?”
Oh no!
Let’s just ask.
“Once upon a time, I remembered something you said.”
“… … Me?”
“Didn’t you say you would make something that would surprise the world at a meeting called the Magic Research Society?”
ah.
That’s what I was talking about.
“I realized that my field of vision was much narrower than yours.”
Eventually, moonshine and power cartridges were created.
I, who was not even a wizard, produced the results I had predicted.
“Was that also something belonging to the future you know?”
“… … yes.”
“It’s interesting, someone who knew that this would happen in the future spoke of the future, but at the time no one believed it… … . No, is the future like that?”
They say absurd things happen, but who will believe it?
“There are people who make miracles. Adelia would be one of those people.”
People whose existence itself is a miracle and close to the blessing of mankind.
Perhaps that is the highest praise the Grand Duke can give.
however… … . Not like that… … .
no really what to say
It’s really, really hard to pretend it’s not like this.
Does he look like a woman?
You can’t talk like that!
“If it’s okay with that child, what if I ask you to become a member of my family when everything is over… … . He is thinking this way.”
“… … yes?”
I… … .
hey?
isn’t it?
“Wouldn’t it be nice to hear that you were good friends with our youngest?”
No, I don’t see that.
no way?
“Looks like the third one seems to like Adelia quite a bit.”
I want to die.
* * *
After exchanging the remaining words with the Grand Duke, I stumbled out into the square.
To be honest, I don’t even remember what we talked about after that.
“majesty… … ?”
Elerith, who was wearing a hood from afar, came running in surprise.
“It didn’t look like anything was going on… … .”
no… …
nothing happened to me… … .
“mom… … .”
“… … yes? yes?”
“Mom, I’m dying… … .”
“I, Your Highness… … ?”
mom!
mother!
Elleris isn’t the mother, but she’s like a great-great-great-grandmother or something!
Mmm!
I’d rather be a baby and forget all this.
Elleris looked bewildered as she hugged me as I suddenly turned into a mite.
“Ji, calm down. I don’t know what’s going on… … .”
Elerith pats me on the back.
Dizzy.
I’m already dizzy.
I’ve heard more dizzying things.
“Curiosity… … . Curiosity kills people, not cats… … .”
“… … yes?”
I made up my mind not to say anything when I went in!
Why did you go in and ask useless things!
uh!
I’m a climber.
uh.
