148. My Knight
“Put it away.”
“yes.”
The elves disappeared with the stunned logger.
“…you brought the princess with you. Are you the last of the Four Heavenly Kings?”
“You said you don’t like the Dark Knight?”
“I still don’t like it. but···.”
I can’t forget Ernya’s desperate expression, who asked him to make sure that the Four Heavenly Kings were formed instead of him.
“but?”
“no. But you have kidnapped a little dangerous princess.”
“Do you know Louise Werft?”
“I know that he is one of the top nerds in the Werft Kingdom. I heard that he was put on probation for Tarta’s work.”
“Don’t tell me in particular. Louise Werft split the skull of Prince Ormus himself in Tarta.”
“···Yes?”
Kaede’s face was cracked.
“… it must have happened to the demon king.”
“So known.”
“How did the Demon Lord do that…?”
“Because I watched it in a very good spot. Well, it was quite self-defense. The second prince of Ormus first tried to kidnap Louise Werft.”
“Did you detain the Demon King as an excuse and make a deal with the Werft Kingdom?”
“maybe?”
Kaede nodded her head as if she understood then.
“Still, you haven’t been caught.”
“Because there were no survivors of Ormus. The dwarf took care of everything himself.”
“But why is Logger overreacting like that?”
“Before the logger was kidnapped by me, it was Louise Werft’s weapon.”
“understand.”
“How are you going to do it?”
“What is that?”
“As a princess who was caught in the tower first, I wondered if she had any intention of trying to catch up with her successor’s discipline. It’s easier to step on that type of person once and enter. Are you the one who came first?”
It wasn’t just Louise who would be that quiet, but since she had been kidnapped, she had to be quiet somehow.
It’s also a good way to create a rep.
“Isn’t there a way to keep freezing?”
“That’s possible even with the Surima people. I have a talent for melting and burning, but I can’t freeze it.”
And I don’t think that’s what the princess was going to say to the princess.
“Isn’t the statue listening?”
“right.”
Berge giggled and laughed. Kaede is also very different from the first. Probably because of Ernap.
“So what is the answer?”
“…or a discipline or a senior. I have no interest in anything like that.”
shudder-
Kaede hardened her expression and grabbed the handle of the sword.
“I am a knight. If you give me an order, I just follow it.”
Berget silently took Logger to the second floor and blinked at the elves who returned.
After a while, the statues of all the artisans were removed. Berge lit a small flame.
When I threw it as it was, it ate what was Louise. The heat and cold collided, giving off steam.
and in it.
“What, what…!”
Louise Werft came to her senses.
Her mind stood still in the garden of the detached palace. That moment when he was fighting the demon who deceived him.
The environment changed in an instant and confused her.
But I recognized the reality. Because there was the demon who kidnapped her in the distance.
“It’s yours!”
Is it fantasy? Or is it kidnapping?
Whatever it was, it didn’t matter. ‘Cause I can kill you
Short legs quickly slammed the ground. A huge ax fell vertically as if it were cutting the world.
────!
With a strong anti-repulsion, she took two steps back. The bouncing Auror fragments scratched his body.
But the demons didn’t even move. There was a woman standing in front of him.
A knight who maintained a sharp prayer while wearing well-refined armor.
“What else are you?”
“Nice to meet you, Louise Werft. It’s the first time I’ve seen it like this.”
“Who are you? No, it doesn’t matter. If you see them escorting demons, they are the same demons anyway…”
“Kaede Jespine. She is the 9th princess of the Jespine Empire.”
“…a princess?”
Louise’s brow twitched.
“…a princess kidnapped by the demon king of flames?”
“you’re right.”
“So here?”
“It is a tower of flames.”
“Then who is that guy?”
“It’s not a bastard, it’s the Demon Lord of Fire. Please be careful with your words and actions.”
So now, is this that you have been kidnapped by the Demon King?
It was new because I didn’t expect anyone to kidnap me. However, in the current situation, the fact that he was kidnapped did not play a significant role.
“why?”
“I don’t know the context.”
“Why are you, the princess, protecting that bastard who is the demon king?”
kidnap? I could have thought that the Demon King, who had yielded a hundred times and turned around, was working with this judge’s board.
In fact, the demon king of lust was like that too.
However, the picture of the imperial princess following the demon king was not drawn no matter how hard he tried.

Maybe you are dreaming. He was kidnapped by the demon king of lust and wandered in the dream of a succubus.Yes, that’s more realistic. That bitch has had her tail cut off and she’s lusting for revenge.
“Everyone has their own circumstances… Ah.”
Kaede shut her mouth.
‘I’m going to say this.’
When asked why he serves the Demon King, it was Ernya’s answer.
What kind of feelings she must have had, I had a rough guess. Louise Werft must be similar to the self at that time.
The surest way is to compare it with your own experience.
‘It’s a sure thing to imprint one’s own situation.’
“Why don’t you talk?”
“Do you need more words? Aside from being a princess, I am now a knight of the Demon King. If you want to kill the Demon Lord and leave the tower, you can defeat me.”
“A knight of the Demon King? What else is that…”
Louise hurriedly raised the axe. A sharp blade that dug into space struck the side of the axe.
“Do we need to have a conversation over a good knife and an axe?”
“…does the imperial princess do such a cowardly thing?”
“I am now a Dark Knight. I have stopped you as a dark knight.”
so.
You will have to do your best.
Berge confirmed that Kaede’s lips rose slightly.
‘Come to think of it···.’
Since Kaede came to the tower, isn’t it almost the first time he’s had a proper battle with an opponent of the same level?
For some reason, it looked pretty exciting.
* * *
Often, when expressing Kaede Jespine, it is said that he boasts the best swordsmanship among the royal family.
It may feel like a frog in a well to say that the scope is merely a member of the royal family, but it must be kept in mind that they are the royal family and not others.
The Jespine Empire. The continent’s highest and most powerful country’s imperial family.
In addition to ingesting various elixir from a young age, the best talents from all over the continent teach them.
Is that all, what they learn is ultimately the vision of the imperial family. Learning, teacher, and background were all excellent, so being at the fore among them could not be expressed simply.
Then she took a step forward when she came to the Demon King’s Tower.
In extreme environments where mana is scarce, the fine control of Aurors has become more sophisticated and faster.
Also, I watched the summoning of higher spirits, which is rare to see once in a lifetime. The mana of the pure spirit absorbed at that time was a great help in taking her one step further.
So Kaede.
It was strong.
────!
The golden aurora dances.
The sword strikes of the Emperor are slashing the axe.
Louise steps back. The unresolved shock shakes her body.
‘what’s this···?’
In the blink of an eye, Kaede’s body moves again. Strikes through space, like a bullet.
The added speed becomes an overwhelming force in itself.
─!
Both feet dig into the ground. Twisting muscles, screaming bone pain sublimated and jumped out of his body.
“This bitch!”
Louise gives more strength to the hand holding the axe. Shaking his body, he struggles to relieve the shock and swings his ax out loud.
A strong wind blew with a humming sound. Kaede takes a step back. Louise takes the stance again.
And this time I ran first.
wield an ax The brown aura is strong enough to cut the space itself apart.
Evil twists his body and barely avoids the golden flash aiming at the blind spot. A shallow wound that cuts through the skin is the price of the ax reaching the opponent completely.
─!
However, the sword that should have been somewhere else had returned to its original position. Instead of splitting flesh and bones, the ax collided with the sword.
In a clash of power and power, in a perfect head-to-head match, Kaede took two steps back.
hoo.
Louise laughed for the first time.
Yeah, if I do it right, I can’t be pushed out of power.
The small but strong muscles of the Dwarf stand out even more. In order not to let go of the momentum once captured, he follows Kaede, who retreats.
Biggie of the Werft royal family draws a brown trajectory. It crashes like a storm and shatters everything.
change it like this
Seeing the twisted smile, Kaede sharpened her senses even more.
The feast of the raging ax was a death that would take everything away. However, that is all.
Kaga-Gak-
Her sword moved. It collides with the axe, and it evades it as it is.
Once by chance, twice by necessity, and three by skill.
And when it continues, it becomes a gap.
It didn’t take long for Louise’s smile to disappear.
The power contained in the ax increased even more, but in the aftermath, the broken earth became more miserable, but it did not harm Kaede.
like that.
Finally.
──!
The ax has escaped its master’s hand. Louise’s mouth was torn and stained red. The blade heated by the fierce workshop penetrated right next to the fallen Louise.
“This is the end.”
Kaede calmly declared Louise’s defeat.
* * *
clap clap clap-
“Good.”
Berge’s applause echoed through the quiet first floor.
‘That’s great.’
In fact, Kaede did not exist before or in the future. She died in the Tower of Lies and could not spread her wings.
So I didn’t know she was going to be able to do this.
‘I’m not a hero, but I’m overpowering Louise, who will be counted on a few fingers, isn’t it?’
Actually, it wasn’t overwhelming. But what is important? He did not lose the upper hand all the time, and when he was pushed out of power, he dug into the gaps and finished it in one shot.
‘That’s right, the imperial princess.’
It is also closely related to the third prince who has room for succession to the throne.
Her worth is so dazzling.
“Good job.”
“thank you.”
“So, Louise Werft.”
Berge crouched down and made eye contact with Louise, who was lying on the floor.
“Now what do you think?”
“·················ogue.”
“You were kidnapped by the Demon King’s Tower and lost to my knight. You have two options.”
“A choice?”
“You either resist harshly, your limbs are imprisoned and you rot until someone rescues you, or you become my household and serve me.”
“Are you crazy?”
Louise snorted.
“I don’t know how I persuaded that stupid bitch, but do you think I’d serve a bastard like you too?”
“Otherwise you will rot in the dungeon for the rest of your life.”
“It sounds funny. Do you think the Werft Kingdom will stand still? You are done now.”
“is it?”
Berger handed him a piece of paper without saying a word.
“Even though she is a foolish princess, she has a dwarf name, so can she read one of them?”
“···crazy. Have you been running around?”
Louise chuckled and laughed. It was a blueprint. A blueprint depicting something absurd and impossible.
“I will use it to get out of my original position. Then the heroes who came to rescue you will hit the ball. forever. Of course you are in prison too.”
“Do you really think this is possible?”
“What can’t be done?”
“Well, if I wasn’t stupid, I wouldn’t have kidnapped me. Listen well. This is a golem! It also exceeds 20m!”
“therefore?”
“Even in the Werft Kingdom, where magic engineering is the most advanced, 10m is still the best. By the way, what about the topic of demons that even the ‘Evils’ of magic engineering do not know? Are you going to make a golem that is over 20 meters tall?”
“Of course, as the Demon Lord, I do not know the ‘Demon’ character of magic engineering. But it’s not me who makes it. Dwarves like you.”
“…Dwarves?”
“Isn’t the designer’s name written in the corner of the blueprint there?”
‘Logger Friedree.’
“…a logger?”
“How do you think I know about loggers?”
“…the logger is here?”
“Because I kidnapped you. And with you, I kidnapped 49 dwarf artisans from the royal workshop. Is that all? Look around.”
Not far from the battlefield between Kaede and Louise, it was full of piled up materials.
“That is the tip of the iceberg. More materials will arrive soon, and all of them will be materials for golems.”
“Ah, it’s impossible to make a golem no matter what.”
“The most important thing in a golem is its nucleus. After all, wasn’t it just stopping at 10m because it couldn’t make that nucleus?”
“okay. The nucleus is the totality of magic engineering. Even if the entire kingdom rushes in, what do you think would be different if only 50 dwarves cling to each other, even though the distance is only 10m?”
The craftsmen and loggers of the royal workshop were not the only ones, but when it came to making nuclear weapons, they sounded right. If it was possible soon, the golems of the Werft Kingdom should have crossed several tens of meters.
However.
“When did I say I was making nukes? Does the blueprint include a nuke?”
Louise looked at the blueprint again. there was no There was no mention of nuclear weapons anywhere.
“What is this?”
“The nucleus is this tower itself. There is no need to make nuclear weapons, as the tower will take care of it.”
“Can’t that be possible…”
“The power of the demon realm is the greatest in the universe. Not like the dwarfs who lock themselves in one dimension and say they are the best.”
“·················ogue.”
“At least the logger saw a possibility. You know his skills better than anyone, right? Didn’t you cry like that to make a weapon?”
“·················ogue.”
Louise didn’t answer. But anyone could tell that he was desperately rolling his head and thinking about the possibility.
“If you stay in prison for the rest of your life, you won’t be able to wield the ax you like. what is an ax You will have to build a wall with exercise.”
“Hey, muscle loss!”
“What else do you mean?”
Ttt, the tongue-in-cheek Berge decided to give her a carrot at this time.
Ten fingers spread out.
“10 years.”
“What?”
“If you become a member of my family, I will only work for you for 10 years and release you. Wouldn’t it be better to suffer for a while and enjoy freedom than to rot in prison for the rest of your life?”
“lie! How do you believe the demon king’s bullshit?”
“I swear by the great first demon king and a standard as precious as life.”
“Invited Demon Emperor and standard…?”
“Do you know how precious and a symbol of trust to our demons?”
“·················ogue.”
Silence prevailed. It had been a long time since Louise had been struggling to wear it.
“one more.”
“what?”
“Logger. Let the logger do what I want. That bastard…”
“It must not be seriously injured or killed. Oh, even if there is a problem with the production.”
“Okay.”
“But there is a price.”
“cost?”
“Listen while you eat. If you resist, the marbles will break, so if you want to go to prison and rot for the rest of your life, you have to play stupid tricks.”
Berge handed the beads of Armani.
“Convince the 49 artisans you kidnapped with your own hands.”
There is a princess, and there is no need for him to convince him.
How much less is she an ignorant motherfucker who will break the lid if she doesn’t listen.
“···Okay.”
Louise, who frowned at the foreign body feeling that Armani’s beads melted and absorbed, nodded.
* * *
“The Demon King.”
“yes?”
“Were the first demon king and standard so light?”
“What are you talking about?”
“There is something Ernyam said, there is also the case of Logger-sama just now, and Louise Werft as well.”
Kaede’s eyes narrowed.
“Is it possible that you made a promise to me without any meaning…?”
“No way. You are my precious knight. I have no intention of breaking my promise to the knight.”
“Is that true?”
“Really.”
“Really, really?”
“Do you want to eat chocolate?”
“···thank you.”
The sweet chocolate entered Kaede’s mouth. I feel better.
“…for now, I will believe.”
“Then you are my knight!”
