213. Lavinia and the Wizards
Hillen Cargill was called by the king.
It was a time when the anxiety and fear of the Demon King increased due to the failures that followed several times, and the uselessness theory about the Heroes’ Guild was raising its head again.
‘Because the heroes who can’t do anything other than fighting take on the role of commander, they fall into a trap and repeat foolish choices!’
‘In the first place, the problem is that I gave too much authority to just a guild.’
‘You said that the heroes attacked first without waiting for the Allied Forces?’
‘The subject of the union should be the state! Only seasoned veterans who have experienced wars led by the state can lead so that the same mistakes are not repeated!’
Some people’s fears were seen as opportunities for others.
The King of Hilderan was one of them.
A person who hates having all the heroes and powers taken away by the Heroes Guild and wants them to be taken again.
“Isn’t this a good opportunity because even the Empire took care of it?”
His sinister smile made Hillen realize that the king was involved in the ominous rumors that were circulating in the public domain.
After all, he couldn’t miss an opportunity like this.
“You mean you want me to be the commander?”
“It’s nonsense. Rumors are circulating that they will fail because of the foolish command of the warriors, and there is no reason to entrust it to you.”
“If it is, you want me to defeat the Demon King of Lies with my own hands.”
“okay. If the great warrior who killed the first three demon kings, and that hero is the hero of Hilderan, it would be a very good picture.”
At the same time, Ballaf Dislord, the strongest warrior, died, and the place became vacant.
Of course, most of them said that Hillen Cargill, who had followed closely behind him, was worthy of being recognized implicitly, but killing the demon king of lies and putting a wedge in it was different.
“If Ernya, who signed a contract with the Spirit King, is with him, the status of his home country will rise even more. A princess and a hero who defeated the Demon King as a team. Isn’t that a beautiful picture?”
“I will try.”
“It is not a matter of effort. You want results.”
Of course, that was also what Hillen Cargill wanted.
But I’m not sure because I’ve already heard of it.
What kind of monster is the Demon Lord of Lies?
‘You’d better be careful. Your skills will never be able to handle it.’
And what kind of monster is coming because of it.
‘The Demon King is moving. And I have no intention of handing over the Demon King of Lies to anyone.’
The Demon King of Lies was the cheese in the picture that was not allowed to Hillen from the beginning.
But it would have been better if it was just that.
‘This is the first time the Demon King has given such a warning.’
where is that The Demon King moves directly, and the Crown Princess of Hilderan, as well as Lavinia Akan, accompany him.
The story is not that easy.
‘Success is….’
can you do it
Otherwise, the Demon King wouldn’t be able to tell her lover Ernyl Hilderan to join as well.
Yes, Hillen Cargill struggled to contain that anxiety.
‘But you’re not coming directly to save the princess, are you?’
“There was no answer. Are you not confident?”
The king’s voice broke his thoughts. I realized that I was talking late.
“no. I will surely cut off the head of the Demon King together with the Crown Princess.”
“Good.”
Then the king laughed happily.
* * *
“Trust me.”
“Can I trust you?”
“Healen-sama is a member of the Demon King, right? What if I lack more faith than myself, who is not in my family?”
“That’s it, but… wasn’t it from the family?”
“I did not know?”
“I didn’t know.”
“no.”
“But why the Demon King?”
“why? Can’t we?”
“···no.”
I forgot. The Crown Princess in front of me shouldn’t try to understand.
“Anyway, it was the first time the Demon Lord gave such a warning, so I was a little worried. I even heard the identity of the monster.”
Not just a demon king, but a doppelganger that has been parasitized for three hundred years. You don’t know the end of that power.
“Isn’t the Demon Lord stepping out in order not to make that warning a reality? Me too.”
“That’s right, but…”
“I don’t like anything else more than that.”
“What if anything else?”
“Why did you go to Akan first?”
“···Yes?”
“I broke up like that, so why did I go to Akan instead of Hilderan…”
“Well.”
Hillen left her contemplative and left the office.
In that case, it would be best to just not succumb to it.
* * *
Roselle Charter’s warning did not resonate much.
‘Does the Empire have other plans? betraying us?’
‘I know what it means, but unless the Empire goes crazy as a group, there’s no way that’s going to happen.’
Having said that, there was nothing more persuasive for Roselle Chartres. Actually, that was also the theory.
“You can’t go out there and say, ‘Actually, the Emperor is crazy!'”
“It’s crazy.”
“really?”
“I guess.”
“Look, we’re not sure about you either, are we?”
“I think I must have gone crazy when I held hands with the Demon Lord.”
“Are you aware that he is the Demon King?”
“I am different.”
“What’s different? Are there any good demon kings and bad demon kings?”
“We didn’t hold hands equally, but we made them all in the family.”
“… it leaves me speechless.”
Roselle chuckled. Berge changed the topic.
“Are there any problems with Hillen Cargill?”
“What’s wrong? Do you feel like you want to be there?”
“Because you left the tower as if you were going to kill Hillen Cargill at any moment.”
“I couldn’t afford it, so I just put it off for a while. Please don’t touch me?”
“The problem between the two of us is how to solve it. It only gets worse when a third party intervenes.”
“Third party? You seem to have lost your conscience here?”
Roselle snorted.
As soon as I got out of the tower, I couldn’t find Hillen because I went to bravery. And in that brief moment, Roselle gave her time to quench her anger.
If you think about it, Hillen Cargill was also not guilty of any major crimes, although he was only carrying out orders from Berge. Above all, the Crown Princess of Hillen was there.
But is it Hillen’s fault?
It was nothing more than encouraging them to fight.
“What do you mean?”
“It doesn’t really mean anything. I just want to know who is the strongest among my warriors.”
“Hey, if you say that, you just can’t pass by again.”
Roselle was determined.
‘Healen needs to be disciplined once in a while.’
He’s like a rebel who wants to have a different mind if he has a little spare time. As Berger got stronger, thanks to the stronger kinship, it was impossible to do that, but it was necessary to break his will once in a while.
Berger gave a sinister smile.
* * *
“Where have you been and what have you been doing?”
“Er, study.”
“Study in Erzest. You modified the cher?”
“yes.”
The king of Akan sighed with innocent eyes.
His daughter couldn’t quite figure it out. It would be great if you could speak properly like other children.
Stop researching that beggar chimera.
No matter how much I didn’t like her, she was a daughter. She always disappears and returns like a ghost, so this time the period was especially long. I couldn’t help but be worried.
But at this moment, the king’s concern was not with his daughter, but with the new problems her daughter brought.
“I heard that Cher’s energy is much stronger than before. There are many wizards who wonder how the cher was converted. Can you share that achievement?”
“no.”
“No?”
“yes.”
“You are the princess of the kingdom and the wizard of the tower. To dedicate to the kingdom as much as you have been given is also your duty as a member of the royal family and a member of the tower.”
“no.”
But Lavinia shook her head again.
The king’s forehead was wrinkled.
She was a bit of an odd daughter, but it didn’t mean she couldn’t speak at all. Knowing that she had received a lot as a princess, she did not hesitate to present the results of her research to the kingdom.
Because of this, she was well aware that she only had an obsession with research and new knowledge, but no monopoly desire for it.
But refusal?
Is it so bluntly?
When the king saw that there were many wizards looking forward to the changed appearance of Cher, his head was already pounding as to how they would react.
“Why?”
“No, no.”
“Can’t you tell me why? Lavinia Akan, I am not joking.”
“Something else.”
“Other things matter, but what wizards really want is cher.”
“no.”
“As king, I command.”
“no.”
“As a father, please do not ask.”
“no.”
“·················ogue.”
He wiped his face with firm eyes. Once he had made up his mind, Ravinia’s stubbornness could never be broken even as his father.
It’s not like you can’t torture your daughter.
But will the wizards understand it?
Akan was not an absolute monarch. Nominally, all the people were subjects of the royal family, but the authority of the matoap was comparable to that of the royal family, and the authority of the matap was comparable to that of the king.
A kingdom established with wizards, that was Akan. Because of this, even a king could not treat the magicians of the tower with care.
“Can’t you really?”
“no.”
“Then there is nothing you can do. You want to talk to the wizards yourself.”
In the end, the king took the last resort.
“story?”
“Hey! Call the magicians of the tower right now!”
Dozens of high-ranking wizards, including the master master and deputy master of the Matop who had been called by him, came in droves.
“majesty! I’m glad you came back safely. How was your work this time?”
“yes.”
“Can you share the results of your research with the tower? I will pay the right price.”
The appropriate price meant the monsters Ravinia wanted, its by-products, or an elixir.
So far, the deal has always been valid.
“yes.”
“Oh oh!”
“It’s also Lavinia-sama!”
The same goes for this time. At her acceptance, the wizards were filled with anticipation.
“Cher, except.”
just 1 second ago.
“Yes?”
“What do you mean?”
“Cher, no.”
“Didn’t you say that you would like to share your research results and results?”
“yes.”
“Then Cerdo…”
“no.”
“Why not!”
“No, what do you mean, my lord?”
“no.”
“majesty!”
“Your Majesty, please have mercy on me!”
“Che.le.no.”
The question that followed hundreds of times could not even take a step forward with her decisive response.
and.
“Shall we go.”
The end was the escape of the tired Lavinia. She escaped the royal capital through the crowds of wizards.
“Cher!”
The wizards had no choice but to stare blankly at her running away on a cher that had fallen from somewhere.
“…that giant flying with one wing.”
“Oh, it’s beautiful.”
“What the hell did you use? drake? No, that’s not like Drake.”
“What kind of monsters or monsters are those by-products?”
“Even if you try to take a look, you run away. Shit.”
The wizards did not even think of chasing after them and admired the appearance of Cher.
Belatedly, they came to their senses and turned their gaze to the king.
“your majesty.”
“You didn’t answer me either.”
“Cher’s transformation has surpassed everything so far. It is the essence of chimerism that will take the kingdom’s chimera research technology to the next level!”
“you’re right! If we can know the magic that strengthened Cher, Akan’s name will increase in the coming subjugation of the Demon Lord of Lies.”
“You don’t know that. But you don’t even talk to me? don’t you know Lavinia’s stubbornness cannot be broken by anyone.”
If I had been able to break it, I would have made him stop touching the Chimera right away.
“Okay.”
The master and the wizards let out a moan.
He wanted to interrogate Lavinia, but there was no great wizard who could do that.
However, Lavinia could have escaped again if she had stuck with it more tenaciously.
But the wizards were not willing to give up.
“They won’t listen to our request, but how about going through someone more intimate?”
“Like His Majesty Cain?”
“I would like to tell you, but did you know that there is a man named Fail, Roselle-sama, who came back with me this time?”
“Oh, that’s a good idea.”
“Cancer, you can’t do nothing!”
The wizards, who were once again in harmony, bowed to the king and left the palace.
There was only one thing in their mind, how to convince Lavinia.
