“But I also admit that his actions have disrupted Calderic’s order. There is no excuse for that.”
The overlord blinked.
“Then I swear. It’s never going to happen again in the future. Of course, that’s when I was alive.”
These words were sincere.
You’re a tyrant, and various circumstances overlapped and overlapped, and I ended up killing him.
“Ugh…”
The overlord smiled strangely and tapped the armrest of the chair with his finger.
I could see some lords looking at me with a look of absurdity.
It would be absurd to say that we should quietly pass this call with just a few words.
The overlord soon spoke again.
“I’ll ask you one last question, the 7th Lord. Did the killing of the 6th Lord have anything to do with the human brothers and sisters you saved?”
“············”.
“Yeah, it seems. I see.”
I said nothing, but the overlord nodded as if he had heard the answer.
She asked, looking around the princes with a happy face that seemed to be intrigued again.
“What do other monarchs think? It seems sincere that the 7th lord will not cause such chaos again.”
Brainhu immediately protested.
“This is unacceptable. If you break the rules, you have to pay for it, for whatever reason!”
The overlord nodded his head.
“Okay then, opinions seem to be a little different, so let’s go for the pros and cons. Let’s say the 2nd monarch is in favor of execution, and what about the other monarchs?”
The Black Sea Empress was the first to step forward.
“I agree with you, Overlord. That man is so shameless that he is unlucky.”
“Ah, I agree.”
Gwangrang immediately helped.
It was as if he had no other choice but to fight because he had been holding the hilt of the sword since before.
“The 1st monarch?”
In response to the overlord’s question, Shintoo said with a calm face.
“I will obey the will of the overlord.”
Her gaze then turned to the 3rd lord Chun-gung.
He opened his mouth, who had been staring blankly into the air with a face full of annoyance.
“········I also do as the Overlord tells me.”
Now, only the 4th lord the dead king and the 9th lord the giant king remained.
The King of the Dead, who glanced at me, was silent for a moment, then spoke.
“I will oppose execution.”
The other monarchs looked at him in surprise.
“What is it, 4th lord. I thought you would agree with your personality? Were you scared?”
At Gwangrang’s words, the King of the Dead only laughed.
I was also a little surprised inside, because I didn’t know he would object.
At least, as far as I know, the King of the Dead was the most important person to keep order along with the new and the afterlife.
‘·······Maybe you are against paying off the debt you left behind?’
Anyway, now only the 9 lords and giant kings were left.
He sat quietly with his arms crossed and his eyes closed, then opened his eyes and said.
“I will also obey the will of the overlord.”
Brain frowned at him.
Three in favor, one against, but three left the decision to the overlord, so the overlord had four votes.
If this happens, it must be because my treatment is ultimately determined by the decision of the overlord.
“Well then, can I decide?”
The overlord spoke calmly, as if he had roughly expected it, and fixed his gaze on me again.
I waited for her mouth to fall.
What if she decides to execute me here?
‘······· Then you have to survive even if it is ugly.’
Of course, he had no intention of giving up his life.
At that time, no matter what she does or deals with future information that she might be interested in, she has no choice but to survive by pulling out all she really has.
But in the end, if there was a battle, it would be unfair for me to be alone, so I was going to take as many companions as possible, but…
After quite a long silence, she opened her mouth.
“Seventh lord, I still think you have to take some responsibility for this. Even so, the monarch killed the monarch, right? It’s not just a few words.”
she smiled brightly.
“So, I want you to grant me three requests.”
“···········?”
“Of course, it’s not unreasonable, but I’ll ask you a reasonable enough request, so don’t worry.
Neutral Nations Conference?
As I looked at her with puzzled eyes, she explained.
“After some time, there is a meeting between Seintea and Neutral in a neutral country. I would like you to accompany me at that time. I’m going to do one repetition with this and leave the other two for later. How about it?”
I thought about her proposal for a moment.
Three favors, monarchs cannot be completely free from the orders of the overlord as much as they enjoy.
That’s why each monarch’s meeting decides what each monarch is supposed to do according to the overlord’s decision.
Of course, if there was no justification for that, even the monarchs could reject the overlord’s orders, but…
‘It’s a command right that doesn’t have the right to refuse.’
But, well, it wasn’t a bad suggestion to get through this situation safely.
Besides, it’s a request that isn’t too difficult if you’re going to accompany him to a meeting with Seintea.
I don’t know why he suddenly wants to take me to a meeting in St.
Of course, the Overlord isn’t such a likable person, but I’m not in a position to reject the offer anyway.
“Accept it.”
I answered meekly.
The overlord laughed softly.
“Okay, so that’s it. There’s no execution of the 7th lord.”
At the overlord’s declaration, Gwangrang murmured dissatisfied with his pale face.
“Written, I wanted to fight for a while…”
The Empress of the Black Sea also looked at me with a look that showed her displeasure, and then turned her head.
I breathed a sigh of relief inwardly.
I really wondered what would happen, but this crisis was finally over safely.
Anyway, just as I was wondering if it would all end like this, suddenly a shout rang out.
“·······I cannot accept it!”
All eyes were focused on one side.
Thunderhu who got up from his seat was vigorously staring at me as if he was about to kill me.
Urgent Call (4)
“Do you think it makes sense for everyone to move on like this?!”
He looked around and shouted.
However, the monarchs reacted bitterly.
“Isn’t it something that has already been decided? And I decided to pay the price in a different way, rather than just go with it.”
“…that is unacceptable! A monarch has been murdered at the hands of a monarch! It is a felony among felonies that can only be paid for by death!”
“Oh, I sat over that one again.”
Gwangrang clicked his tongue.
The chief of staff intervened and said.
“In the event of a battle between monarchs, or when a monarch kills a monarch, it is enacted in the Constitution to determine the level of punishment under the authority of the overlord through a call. .”
Leu Hu turned his gaze to look at the Chief of Staff, then looked at the Overlord.
Even with her gaze full of protest, the overlord just put a smile on his lips without saying a word.
He said, biting his lips.
“Hasn’t the person who just sat on the throne already caused such confusion.
“Thank you for thinking so passionately about Calderik’s future, Second Lord.”
“············”.
“Still, I didn’t decide on my own, it’s a matter that everyone decided by a majority vote, right? We have to admit what we have to admit.”
The overlord’s voice, which seemed to be quivering, was under pressure that he dared not resist.
“Yeah, second lord. I don’t like it either, but can I do it? It’s not like the little boy is arguing, it’s up to the decision.”
Gwangrang burst into laughter at the sarcastic tone of the Black Sea Empress.
Little boy, that’s what Gwangrang said at the lords meeting before.
I knew why the two of them were making fun of them by calling them that.
Because she’s the most recent monarch except me, and she’s also the youngest.
He’s only been sitting on the throne for only a few years, and he’s just saying the same thing to me, so it might sound funny.
Well, even though her family is one of the oldest in Calderic…
“this······!”
Neonhu, who had been staring at the two of them in a seizure, closed his eyes tightly and exhaled. It looked like he was suppressing the anger that was about to explode.
Soon after, she opened her eyes again and looked at me with cold, subdued eyes.
“Please allow me this time, Overlord.”
“yes?”
“I want a formal duel with the 7th lord. I’ll check if I really have the skills to make the same remarks as before.”
At that, I sighed inwardly.
‘·······Again?’
He did the same thing at the last meeting, and he’s doing it again this time.
No, if you just go over it a bit, where will it go? Why are you so anxious that you can’t eat me like that?
Does the back end still remain because of the fight that happened last time?
“Um, a duel….”
The Overlord shook his head and looked back and forth between me and the brain.
“Well, yes. If you don’t really understand me, I don’t want to stop you…”
Then he smiled and asked me.
“How about the 7th lord? Hearing those words earlier, I also wanted to see the 7th lord’s skills in person.”
“············”.
Fuck.
I swear to myself, and I had a gut feeling that I had an external headache.
Last time, he opened his mouth and somehow managed to get over it, but this time the overlord seemed to have no intention of letting it go, as if it was all right.
Because I just passed the crisis of execution, and I am in a situation where I do not have the right to speak.
“Oh, then me too! I want to fight the 7th lord too!”
When the overlord’s permission fell, Gwangrang shouted with his eyes shining. please shut up
I shook my head and came up with a solution before things got even worse.
The duel here was, of course, a duel in which the opponent was suppressed, not killed. In other words, there was no way for me to win because I couldn’t use instant kill.
It was only when he faced the tyrant that he was a vampire, so he was lucky enough to be able to use Gascalid’s blood magic, but this time it wasn’t.
At best, all you have to do is defend with a floating curtain and dodge with a space leap…
‘······ah.’
yes, is that okay?
“Do this.”
I said looking at the back of the brain.
“Like I said, I’m not very good at moderate suppression. If I kill another monarch after killing the 6th lord, my situation will be in trouble.”
“Ha! I don’t think you’re going to avoid a duel with that kind of excuse again…”
“So I’ll just defend.”
“······I beg your pardon?”
“I mean, I’ll just stand still and defend against attacks.”
Perhaps it was an unexpected proposal, the thunderstorm paused for a moment, and then exploded in life.
“Do your best to insult me, 7th lord. Your arrogance is now despised. You’re only going to defend yourself against my attacks?”
“okay.”
I answered calmly.
“Second Lord Thunderhu, the Elementalist of Thunder. Rumor has it that he has the best destructive power among lords.”
“············”.
“If you completely block all three attacks, it’s my victory;
Turning her gaze to the overlord, she had a face that was terribly intriguing.
Conversely, Thunderhu was trembling up to his ears and seemed unable to control his body in anger.
【Lv. 95]
It wasn’t an incomprehensible reaction.
Among the elves that exist on the entire continent, she is almost the strongest elemental magician.
I had declared that I would just stand still and block her attacks like that.
Especially if she has a strong personality, wouldn’t she feel that there is no such insult?
“······good.”
Soon after, he said in a ferocious voice.
“Instead of proceeding with the duel as you said, I add an additional condition. If you lose the 7th lord, get down on your knees and apologize to me for your arrogant words and deeds.”
“I do.”
······done.
I nodded my head in joy.
“tt, what’s a duel? It’s not fun…”
Gwangrang, who had just been brimming with energy, luckily figured out whether his excitement had died and left.
The overlord cleared the situation.
