Episode 287. Demon King (2)
“Phew.”
After finishing my interview with the 'land spiders', I let out a sigh.
'… … Through conversation, I knew that they were the type of guys who wouldn't betray.'
His words and actions are not ordinary.
'He suddenly sat down and started praying.'
It was just absurd.
Don't you spread the fruit on your face?
He pulled out a sword and said he would prove it with his own blood.
There was a girl who took off her clothes.
'ha.'
My head hurts.
It is certain that they are strong and capable enough to rival the knights. In that regard, I want to applaud Pintel's ability.
but.
'I said I like guys stronger than demons.'
I brought you guys who are scarier than demons.
Somehow, I regained my composure and looked around the botanical gardens once more. It was the second time I had visited here after killing Tenelon, but it felt like home.
'Plants are the best.'
Just as I was thinking that, a scops owl appeared between the leaves.
Unlike other birds, the owl had a bluish aura. It wasn't hard to tell that the small animal was a messenger sent by 'Tuale'.
'Have you started to move a little?'
As if he knew, he held the 'Mana' in his hand and showed it to the owl. Then, the bird scratched its head with its wing once and began to fly away to another place.
"ha."
The fact that Tsuare sent a 'missionary horse' means that a storm is gradually starting to rise in the system.
It is possible to cope. However, it is surprising that so much effort is needed for something that can be easily completed.
'I guess I should get moving too.'
I got up from my seat. As I walked slowly, I felt the scent of grass in the botanical garden gradually disappearing.
***
As we left the botanical garden, we saw Pintel waiting in front of us.
“There was someone I wanted to introduce to you, and I’m glad you were waiting.”
“Who would you like to introduce…?”
Pintel tilted his head at the mention of someone he could introduce.
“You’re just around the corner.”
In the place I pointed with my finger, there was a trio with servants accompanying them, covering their bodies as much as possible with an umbrella.
“I knew you would come here, since you sent a messenger.”
“……Who is that woman?”
“The mistress of Myeongwol Gwan, Tsuare.”
The troll who had come into the shade looked this way. The color of 'fear' was clearly visible above his head, but it was not evident on his face.
“As you can see, it’s a vampire.”
"……vampire?"
Pintel looked puzzled.
“The vampires have already been exterminated long ago…….”
Looking at the incredulous Pintel, Tsuare lifted up her clothes a layer. Then, she extended her hand out of the parasol where the sunlight poured in.
Cheeeeeeek──!
An arm burning in the sunlight. At the sight of it, Pintel looked at her with startled eyes.
“Am I really a vampire?”
Tway quickly covered his burning arm with his clothes.
“Do you believe it now?”
She continued speaking in an arrogant tone. Even so, the color of 'fear' was visible above her head. It was shaking violently and becoming blurry at the same time.
‘… … You must be in a lot of pain.’
Yeah, why didn't you try to show it with actions instead of explaining it with words?
Whoosh.
While I was thinking about that, Tsuare turned his head and met my eyes.
'It's urgent.'
I knew why she had proven herself to be a 'vampire' in such a crude way.
It looks like he has something he wants to say quickly.
***
"yes?"
Eleanor, embarrassed, asked back without realizing it. She had heard something ridiculous. So, it was natural for her to react like this.
Thanks to that, a soulless voice came out.
“Ahem.”
Eleanor cleared her throat once. Then she looked at Yurian with strange eyes.
“……I was really surprised.”
Eleanor wasn't the only one who sent such a gaze.
The interior of the monastery used by the 'Arch Bishops' of the Dawn Order whenever they held meetings. Originally used by 'Tenelon', this place was completely taken over by the Arch Bishops.
The Yurians called the Arch Bishops to that place. Thanks to this, not only Eleanor, but all the Arch Bishops were gathered there.

The one that showed the biggest reaction was Colparan.
“Yurien, I never would have thought that such words would come out of your mouth.”
Colparan brushed back his beard and glanced at Yurian.
“If the words I utter here now reach the ears of the royal family, I will be put on the execution stand without a second thought.”
“There’s no need to go in, so what are you worried about, Sir Colparan?”
“You never know. Isn’t it possible that someone is eavesdropping on this place?”
“This Pintel!”
Pintel proudly recited his name, then looked at Eleanor.
“And, as long as Arch Bishop Eleanor is here, that won’t happen.”
“Well then, let’s go over it again, Yurian.”
Colparan, with a dissatisfied look on his face, opened his mouth again.
“If what you say is true, then does that mean that Emperor Adratan has already passed away?”
As Colparan finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to Yurian. Yurian, who was sitting with his arms crossed and legs crossed, slowly raised his head.
"yes."
Yurian, who belongs to an organization directly under the imperial family, uses profane language.
“What makes you think so?”
“I have a personal informant.”
“……He is a personally planted informant.”
Colparan still showed a look of discomfort towards him.
“The death of His Majesty the Emperor, such a big deal, it’s bound to cause an uproar.”
“Why are you so quiet? Is that what you want to ask?”
Hmm. Colparan nodded.
“Of course. There must be someone who hides it.”
“So what you’re saying is that His Highness Yulsis, who currently manages the imperial family, hid it?”
Yurian shrugged.
“And, you found out what Yulsis was trying to hide.”
“That’s right. As expected, Lord Colparan is very intelligent.”
“It’s scary.”
Colparan clicked his tongue and shook his head from side to side.
“What are you talking about?”
“Whether that is true or not, whether you know the truth, and what you are going to say when you say the Emperor is dead.”
“Your Majesty Colparan, you are very fearful.”
"hmm."
Colparan stroked his beard once.
“Of course it’s scary. The royal family, and the one who holds the actual power, has found out what they were trying to hide.”
His words made sense. What kind of information power did he have to find out what the 'royal family' was hiding?
Eleanor glanced at Colparan. It was true that Yurian possessed immense power and information.
Even the fact that he has no qualms about killing people, to the point where he has the nickname 'The Laughing Executioner'.
but.
'I'm not scared.'
He was an ally, and a member of the same New Dawn Society. Eleanor knew that he was not the type of person to do something stupid.
“How could I not be afraid of what someone like you might say using this information as an excuse?”
“No, I don’t think Lord Colparan is afraid of that.”
Yurian uncrossed his arms and spread his fingers. Then, he pointed his index finger at Colparan and smiled.
“You must be afraid that this source is reaching out to you.”
Colparan flinched at Yurian's words.
“It was good that you brought the Rahman tribe into the empire through Al Hassar. However, rather than making them a part of the Dawn Order, you intended to use them as your personal soldiers?”
“……Hmm, I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“If Lord Pintel had not formed the Land Spider, all the Rahman tribe’s killers would have been under Lord Kolparan.”
Yurian smiled, trailing off his words as if he felt regret. However, unlike usual, Yurian showed his emotions.
Of course, it wasn't revealed on his face. The air surrounding him was shaking violently.
“Lord Colparan, I am very scared. If you continue to show me this kind of behavior… what will I, a very scared person, do?”
Even without drawing his sword, his murderous intent was clearly evident. At this moment, Colparan must have been under the illusion that his neck had been cut off by Yurian's 'Moonlight Sword'.
“Ugh, ugh…….”
“Of course, I know that you don’t mean it with ill intentions. Lord Colparan is a coward like me, so he must have just prepared for the ‘just in case’.”
It's okay. I understand. Yulian adds.
“Since Lord Colparan is managing the members of the sect well, I will not go into more detail.”
After that, Yurian smiled brightly.
***
The reason Yurian brought up the story of 'the death of the emperor' was simple.
“It won’t be long before His Majesty the King will make his move. If he seizes the throne easily, he will then seek to uproot the Order of the Dawn.”
As he continued to speak, Eleanor and Colparan's faces darkened.
“That means… it sounds like we have to stop Kaldrak from inheriting the throne in order to be safe.”
“Well, that’s true.”
When Yurian affirmed, there was a brief silence. It was to prevent the succession to the throne. It was simple in words, but if you delve deeper, it was like saying that the 'royal family' had to be killed.
“Lord Yurian.”
Eleanor opens her mouth.
“It is said that His Majesty the Emperor has passed away. Is that true?”
Yulian nodded.
“What’s the evidence?”
I have no complaints about Yulian moving the Dawn Society, but I'd like to hear how he got the information.
“In fact, I don’t have a complete grasp of the information inside.”
“……No?”
"yes."
Eleanor was dumbfounded by the sly smile.
“However, we are fully aware of Kaldrak’s actions.”
“How?”
“Because I’m helping you.”
It was none other than Tsuare who interrupted Eleanor's words and entered the room. As she entered, the alluring scent of perfume began to spread throughout the room.
Colparan, who was in charge of it, frowned. It seemed as if he was asking why there was a foreigner here, but Eleanor opened her mouth without paying attention.
“Are you talking about that?”
“Yes, you lowly things.”
The Arch Bishops' ears were struck by the venomous words along with the downward gaze. Pintel closed his eyes as if he knew, and paid no attention, but Colparan still had a dissatisfied expression.
Tsuare makes a face of confusion as he looks at those 'Arch Bishops'.
Of course, the inside was not like that.
‘Why am I like this… …!’
It was just that the servant horse planted in 'Kaldrak' detected something unusual and stopped by Yurian to report it.
‘The nobles in front of you now… … .’
These are not the usual nobles, but rather what are commonly called 'quite high-ranking' nobles.
Although they do not have public power like the royal family's exclusive agency, they are people with considerable influence.
'I want to go home!'
