144. The Demon King is too unfair
“…who disappears?”
The fact that Louise Werft had disappeared was revealed shortly after her abduction.
“There was a lot of noise and vibration in the detached palace where Your Majesty was staying. The knights escorting the detached palace checked the scene, but the appearance of His Majesty was nowhere and only traces of a fierce battle remained.”
“Are you saying that? Find it now! right now!”
The Royal Guard has moved. They found a secret passage not far from the Warfront.
“Secret passage? After Logger Friedree disappeared, didn’t you find and block all the passages of the royal road?”
“It blocks most things, but it can’t be perfect…”
“Are you kidding me now!”
The dwarves trembled at the king’s wrath.
The knights hurriedly investigated the passage.
“There is a sign of entry, but no sign of going out. He must have not gone out yet.”
“What if I just went out the other way? Is there a law that there was one and there should not be two?”
“···that.”
“Find it now! If you don’t bring the princess and the motherfucker who kidnapped the princess to my eyes, I’ll leave the rest to your imagination.”
“I take orders!”
But the problem did not end there. As the guards guarding the royal castle began to search in large numbers, something happened elsewhere.
“your majesty! The royal workshop is on fire!”
“···what? does that make sense! How many magics are engraved in the royal workshop!”
Since the workshop is a workshop that mainly deals with fire, it was particularly thorough in preventing fire. However, it was not impossible if all the defense equipment they had made had been broken by the Demon King.
“Artisans, how are the artisans!”
“The 32 artisans who went outside are safe…”
“Report straight up!”
“The whereabouts of 49 artisans are unknown.”
“You mean he died in a fire!”
“no! If life is burned to death, even the remains of it are bound to remain. However, no traces of the craftsmen could be found anywhere in the half-burnt workshop.”
“That means….”
“There is no way that the craftsmen would have set fire to themselves and left the workshop…”
Instead of posting a report, I swallowed these words. Because the king’s eyes trembled.
“Are they kidnapped?”
“It’s so sad.”
“A princess too?”
“···Yes.”
In an instant, Geum Ok-yeop and the best artisans in the kingdom disappeared, no, they were kidnapped.
The king’s eyes went blue for a moment, but he was calm.
“Right now, control access to the royal capital and declare an emergency order. And be sure to find the kidnapper.”
The entire army of the royal capital was mobilized. Almost all the troops except for the King and the Guard Knights protecting the royal palace.
The king, who hastily issued an order, entered the meeting with the ministers.
“Who do you think the culprit is?”
“I think they might be humans.”
“you’re right. The kidnapping of artisans is proof of that. Isn’t this not the first time humans have coveted our technology and have done it?”
That made the most sense. The question is, which country are you from…
“It means that there is a traitor who sold the race. Even in this royal road.”
“Are you talking about traitors?”
“The princess and the royal studio exist in the royal capital. Do you think humans would dare to come and go here without Jim’s permission? Unless someone deliberately hid it. How much less does it make sense to say that dozens of craftsmen disappeared without a mouse or a bird, and no one witnessed it?”
“ah···!”
Instead, they exclaimed. Obviously that didn’t make sense.
There was an awkward silence for a moment. The king’s words were valid, and there was one more prerequisite for their validity. The traitor must have some power even in the royal capital.
They started looking into each other’s eyes. Then, instead of Han raised this objection.
“His Majesty Haona, even His Majesty the Princess has been kidnapped. There is no reason for humans to kidnap His Majesty the Princess, do they?”
In particular, those who know how much the king of Werft loves the princess will know that it crosses a river of no return.
“I kidnapped dozens of artisans. It means you haven’t thought about the future.”
“Would humans do something so stupid? If we only promised equipment to neighboring countries, wouldn’t we be beaten up?”
“… it certainly is.”
The troubles of the king and ministers deepened.
“I wonder if it was the devil’s work.”
“Devil? Why did the Demon King kidnap the artisans?”
The Demon King strengthens the tower through the mysterious power it possesses. There was no need to borrow the power of the Dwarves.
That was common sense. However.
“What if it was something other than a tower?”
“Other?”
“Recently of the Serratin Islands . . .”
“ah···!”
“Doesn’t she already have a history of having her tail cut off while trying to kidnap His Majesty?”
“Anyway, the Demon King who was severely damaged by the raid after that…”
Then came the news that gave them a wedge in their speculation.
“your majesty! The hero, Verding, has found traces of a feeble magic in the princess’s private palace!”
The demon king kidnapped the princess and the artisans.
* * *
Vivian Blunt.
Having conquered one dimension and her nose pierced the sky, she was blocked by a huge wall in the dimension called Arain.
Several attempts failed, and he suffered humiliation from being threatened or threatened by the same demon king.
Still, the reason she couldn’t utter it according to her temper was because the demon king’s words were all right.
‘A crazy dimension with more than 4,000 warriors! Had I known, I would have never come to a place like this!’
He lamented over his own arrogance, who thought it was because the level of the Demon Lords had dropped, and that it was just the right level for him who had conquered one dimension.
And even the Archduke Alkyne, who tricked himself into this damn place by lying to him.
‘That damn vampire. I should have known when it was so favorable.’
He should have pulled out his sweet tongue that promised a huge reward.
Of course, it really couldn’t be.
“However, have you been able to fix it? Because I am alive and gradually increasing my power. Yeah, that’s what’s important, that’s…”
As she savored the fresh Shine Muscat, her gaze turned downward and stopped.
“…my tail.”
Having nothing to be was not always accustomed to.
“My tail….”
Shout out, tears flowed. The wound still hurts. Of course, one day it will grow up and return to its original state, but when will that be?
hundred years? Or two hundred years?
The tail, which is another reservoir for the succubus’ magic, was not just the hair that grows with the passage of time.
“That damn bastard, I’ll definitely get revenge…”
He vowed to make him a slave and make him pant under his feet. someday for sure.
“ah.”
She opened her mouth to release her annoyance.
“Here I am, hehe.”
A sweet fruit came inside.
“It’s sweet.”
“This is the finest Shine Muscat from the southern region of Hessen. I have airlifted it specially for Vivian-sama.”
I write it as karate and read it as pirate. But neither the speaking party nor the receiving party cared.
“That Vivian.”
“When did I say I could talk to you?”
“Sin, sorry!”
The pedestal pirate threw his head on the floor.
“What is it, please tell me.”
“Thank you for your mercy. Lately, the Altring cliques are unusual.”
“If it’s Altring…”
“It is the first coalition of the Serratin Islands to which eighty pirates belong.”
“Why are they?”
“…it was like that from the beginning. It’s not like we’re disrespecting the demons or, of course, Vivian-sama. It’s just those cheeky people…”
“You know, keep talking.”
“Yes, they are selling us as traitors who have colluded with the demons. The shape of the movement may lead to a war.”
“Are you going to wage war because I am a demon?”
“It’s all a cowardly excuse. Isn’t it just that we’re going to step on it in advance as our power grows bigger and bigger?”
“Hmm.”
Vivian shrugged her chin and pondered.
After successive failures, she took the initiative and fulfilled her duty as a succubus.
Fascination is the most sticky trap and the biggest weapon she has, from which she can’t escape whether she knows she is a demon or not.
Fortunately, access was easy. The humans of Arain were accustomed to making secret secret pacts with the Demons, but the Seratine Islands controlled by pirates were particularly severe.
They did not discriminate against those who could be said to be the headquarters of evil, not only from drug distribution and trafficking, but also from human trafficking and piracy.
The most important thing to them was that the first was their own life, and the second was whether it was helpful to them or not.
Thanks to this, Vivian made contact with the pirates and slowly expanded her power. Sometimes he seduced himself, and sometimes he unleashed the succubus and made it his own.
Just like the one who is kneeling in front of him and serves as a footrest, the one who blows a fan from the side, and the one who automatically feeds fruit when he opens his mouth.
All of them were pirates who had become slaves to her, a succubus, and were one of the most powerful people in the Serratin Islands.
There was nothing different about being a warrior. All the heroes in the pirate system are bastards who escaped the guild’s orders.
Heroes are people who have to kill demons, but they were an exception.
For example, the pedestal that is currently posting the report was both a leader and a hero of the pirates.
Still, how freaked out I was when a guy named a hero said that he could even lick his own soles.
“If there is a war, can it be won?”
Her thoughts returned to the point once again.
Her power was still insignificant when viewed as a whole in the Seratin Islands, and it was natural that checks and checks came in.
“In terms of power, we are at a disadvantage, but who am I? I am the leader of the Black Eyepatch Pirates!”
“I am too. Our Fallbeard Pirates will wipe out these scumbag Altrings!”
“I···!”
The three pirate captains, fascinated by Vivian, began to compete for each other’s loyalty.
However, she fell in love with her and lived only with her mouth, and the fact that she couldn’t be defeated did not change.
That was the moment when I breathed a sigh of relief.
smart-
“Miss Vivian.”
Before he could answer to come in, a succubus hurriedly opened the door and entered. Vivian frowned.
“You would have told me not to come in until I called you?”
“This is a call from the Demon King Jason. Hurry up and get in touch…”
“why?”
“I will tell you directly. But he was quite angry.”
“Are you mad? why?”
As I said, you are locked up in the Ceratin system and stay calm?
“Everyone go out.”
At her gesture, the pirates and succubus went out. Vivian, who received the communication port, injected magic.
“What else is going on?”
“What happened? Are you saying that now that your mouth is open?”
From the first word, the harsh language certainly looked angry. And, ironically, that anger was clearly directed at Vivian.
“What? No, what did I do?”
But this time she also had something to say. because I didn’t do anything
“I made it clear. Be quiet and don’t touch the Dwarves.”
“By the way, how long have you been working? Do you have no thoughts?”
“…what nonsense is that? You said you touched a dwarf? I?”
Vivian thought for a moment. Was the person paying the debt a dwarf? It wasn’t. So what about footrests? It wasn’t either. So who was feeding the Shine Muscat? Of course not.
‘Then, recently….’
Were there any dwarves?
Of course, there were no dwarves kidnapped in the Pirate Islands. But at least Vivian had never touched the Dwarf.
This could have been an oath to the great first demon emperor.
“I don’t know what happened on the continent or what kind of division was formed, but I am definitely not.”
“Your excuses are so ugly.”
“I can’t help but lament in my head as a one-dimensional person who thinks that if I just deny no, the facts that exist will not exist.”
“No, what…!”
『The second princess of the dwarves, Louise Werft, has been kidnapped.』
『And the 49 artisans of the royal studio.』
“···What? If it’s Louise Werft…”
“This is the princess who got her ugly tail cut off and ran away while trying to kidnap you.”
That ignorant ax came to mind. The godly muscles that pierce through the clothes. It was a year more like a barbarian than a princess.
“The bitch was kidnapped? That’s great. But to be clear, I am not.”
“Such excuses are only made when there is a minimal possibility. Vivian.”
“What nonsense! I haven’t left the Serratine Islands since that day!”
“Say the same to the dwarves who will soon muzzle you, not me. I don’t know if you’ll believe it or not.”
“···What?”
“How could I have known this? The Dwarves have issued a statement.”
“There are many countries that want cooperation with the Dwarves. There are many who covet their superior technology. If you are asked to subdue yourself in return for a huge reward, it means that there are not one or two countries that will step forward.”
“No, wait. You declared war on me? why? not me!”
『Magi was found at the place where the princess was kidnapped.』
『49 Dwarf Artisans were kidnapped together.』
“Is that really me? There are five demon kings! Why me!”
『Because you already have a history of trying to kidnap a dwarf princess. Rather, his tail was cut off, so his revenge pierces the sky.”
“Isn’t it?”
“That’s it….”
It’s natural. How precious is a tail to a succubus?
『And there is no Demon King who kidnaps Dwarf craftsmen. This is because there is no reason for demon lords who can use the power of the tower to do so.”
『Even if you use it, it won’t be effective enough to maintain a bad relationship with the Dwarf Kingdom.』
“I’m also a Demon King, why would I be different…”
『Except for the pirates of the Seratin Islands and you who are addicted to pirate games.』
“I hope you don’t know that the pirates are obsessed with kidnapping dwarf engineers to put magic cannons on their ships. You knew it and kidnapped him.”
“·················ogue.”
“You didn’t hide too much that you were the Demon Lord. It may not have mattered to the pirates, but not on the continent.”
『Through all that reasoning, the Dwarven Kingdom has identified you as the culprit.』
“There will be a large-scale heroic march towards your tower, and I will not do anything like before.”
『If I can give you one piece of advice, even now, the princesses and artisans who have been kidnapped…』
“no!”
Vivian exclaimed.
In the pale complexion, there was no trace of color and dignity that remained, even if weakly.
“No!”
Her eyes turned hazy.
“Do I look stupid? Are you an idiot enough to burn and touch me like that?”
“If you reasoned rationally, you are an idiot. For example, you ignored my advice and tried to kidnap a dwarf princess. So, even if I did this without thinking back and forth, there’s a good chance…”
“Nope!”
really.
“I didn’t do anything this time. I mean, I didn’t…”
she cried
“I swear by the great first demon king and standard…”
Tears like chicken dung constantly fell.
How pitiful, she really didn’t do it this time.
