00174 The Demon King’s World
“…… the head. ”
I was choked.
It was not the words of an actor who calculated something meticulously and played ten roles on one stage. My heart was pounding.
“Look up. ”
The girl raised her head. The black eyes look this way.
“Question. Why do you want to consider yourself trash forever? ”
“Great one. I am so precious that I am crazy. ”
The girl’s lips made a fine curve.
“I can’t lie to myself because I’m so precious. I might think that one day, It’s wrong to put Luke to death. But for the village, I had no choice. I didn’t do anything wrong. ”
Daisy laughs a little.
“No, I can’t help it. I could die for Luke. But I don’t. This is my choice. I chose Luke’s death. I don’t want to hide that from myself. ”
“ ……. ”
“So I’ll kill my own brother. I will dye my soul with that red blood. I’ll live forever as scum. Great beings, I dare to believe that you will tolerate me. ”
Because you’re one of a kind.
Daisy’s eyes whisper like that.
Why did you accept me as a peasant and a peasant? Why did you do such a cruel thing? I know that. Here, I am the only one who knows why you did what you did…… You want to bear the death of the villagers entirely.
I don’t think so. I didn’t want to avoid it. He explained how unreasonable he is and how selfishly he wants to kill you.
You are a precious and precious creature with no choice.
I know that.
Because I’m one of them.
“ ……. ”
“ ……. ”
According to myths that have been passed down here for a long time.
Once upon a time, the human soul was a little wider. It was wide enough that I didn’t have to eat anyone else to live. People were perfect by themselves. You don’t have to love someone else, you just have to love yourself.
The gods were frightened when the man was too perfect.
The gods have forcibly torn a man’s soul apart. Everyone split in two, sometimes three, and sometimes four. The human soul is dwarfed, and I can’t stand it unless I eat someone else. Now people wander around forever, saying that their other half, their remaining souls, will be somewhere in the world.
“You are extremely dangerous. ”
“Yes, it is. ”
The girl nods as if she had heard the obvious.
“If I kill Luke… you will avenge me until the end of your days.” ”
“Yes, Great One. ”
Again, the girl did not deny it.
“Even if my life is over, I will leave it to someone else, and I will make that someone else deliver it to someone else, and I will try until the day I dare to take the king’s life. ”
Daisy’s parents tremble. But it didn’t matter.
“I’m afraid of you. ”
“Yes.”
The girl smiled.
“I’m afraid of the king, too. ”
“What should I do? Can I kill you? ”
It was not a threat. I asked honestly with my fears and fears.
Daisy said.
“You must slaughter not only me, but all the humans gathered here. Perhaps someone will avenge the king. ”
“…… what if I say yes? ”
“Truly a wise judgment. But please allow us all to die on our own. ”
You hear the villagers breathing in horror.
Regardless of how we reacted around us, me and the girl only looked at each other.
“To end his own life. The king will not allow it. ”
You can’t be that great, she was saying.
“Dozens of people are killed because of the king. Men will stab themselves in the neck in anger and tears. The mother will cry and kill the newborn, and she will stab me in the neck with the blade of her blood. It may take a few hours. ”
You, who have admitted us to being fools, cannot stand in the way of those few hours.
“It may take a night, it may take two days. After a few days, some people will die of thirst. ”
But you can’t interfere.
Never.
Never.
Not because of anything else, but because of your own beliefs.
“The sight of it, Great One. Can you hold her forever? ”
Daisy laughs in her mouth.
“ ……. ”
The golems and fairies who share my emotions were shaken.
The golems start to cry in low voices, and the fairies are bewildered, flying chaotically through the air. As the monsters shook, the villagers surrounded him screamed or grumbled.
“That’s my problem. Girls, it’s not your concern. ”
The girl did not answer. I just bowed my head politely. The choice is yours, not mine. It was a gesture with such meaning.
I’ve been silent for a long time.
I thought about it again and again.
“ ……. ”
It’s an army of minds.
Fool. Think of Jack Orland. It can be repeated…… but nevertheless…….
I glanced at the front of my feet. Daisy and Luke’s parents are still bowing down. Among them, my father was greatly wounded when he fought the golem. Your arm and leg are awfully broken even when you see it.
I sighed. I thought I was going to die a fool. I felt like I had to jump back into gambling again.
“Jeremy, treat this man. ”
I pointed to Luke’s father and said, Jeremy pulls the potion out of his arms without speaking a word.
She wets a potion on the towel and wipes the man’s wound. The intermediate limb was broken back to secure the broken bone. The man groaned.
“Other than that, treat the injured. ”
“Respect.”
Jeremy walks among the villagers and treats them. People intuitively felt that they had survived, no matter how English they were, their faces brightened. But my face was still cold.
“Girl, do you know why I treat them? ”
“I’m guessing you’re trying to win my favor. ”
“That’s right, you little shit. ”
I growled.
“You have succeeded in gaining my favor. It made me not want to kill you. You gambled with your own life and the lives of the villagers! ”
“A compliment.”
The girl responded without blinking an eye. Damn it. There was nothing a 10-year-old couldn’t say.
I’m sick of it.
“I’ll make a bet with you. I will gain Luke’s heart, no matter what means or means. If a boy named Luke truly swears his obedience to me, you little shit. Luke will not die, you will not die, and neither will your parents, nor the villagers. ”
But, he said.
“If Luke does not end up pledging allegiance despite my best efforts…… I swear to all the goddesses that Luke, you, your parents, and everyone here will be a cold carcass. ”
I explained the rules of the game to Daisy.
“Your brother is a dangerous molecule among risk molecules. Ordinary pledges of allegiance are not enough. It cannot be acknowledged unless it is a magical contract of slavery that devotes the whole body and soul. And you must never reveal my intentions or intentions to your brother. ”
“ ……. ”
Daisy takes this side seriously.
“For that, you must temporarily become my slave. ”
“Are you a slave?”
“Yes. I will engrave the magical slaver of courtesy, and I will not let you do anything against my will. What I forbid you will never do. If you do not agree to this, I will kill you all right here and now. ”
It was the least I could do.
Did he feel that I was serious? Daisy was speechless.
“Very well, great one. I will be the king’s slave.” ”
“Even if Luke’s pledge of allegiance ends in your victory, I have no intention of releasing your slavers. Because you are such a scary and scary human being. ”
“Yes, I understand. ”
Daisy nods.
You arrogant brat.
* * *
I had to tear two intermediate teleportation scrolls. To transport the villagers to my castle with the golems. Hundreds of gold broke instantly.
The villagers were supposed to live under Chief Parsi. Only Luke and Daisy’s family were left alone for a while.
And I planned it thoroughly to create a theater.
First, I burned down the War Village. I set a huge fire to see the scorching smoke everywhere in the forest. Seeing that, a boy ran towards the town of Hurdles. I hid and watched him.
The boy shouted.
“Dad! Mom! Daisy!”
Luke’s father shouts, as promised.
“No! ”
One word said, “No,” and the boy stopped running and jumped straight back. Actually, no. After that, there were other ambassadors ready. However, the boy understood everything in just one word. He was going to be a hero.
The boy ran like crazy. I was traversed in the woods like some wolf in a child’s theme. If the assassins hadn’t chased after the boy, they would have lost him.
Finally, the boy’s running speed slowed down, and I appeared nearby disguised as a soldier. It was easy to disguise because you were wearing armor underneath the priest’s uniform. I yelled everywhere to make it a coincidental scene.
“I’m a patrolman! No survivors!? I’m a patrolman! Shit. Survivors, no survivors!? ”
Then the boy excelled in the bush.
“Me, me! Soldier! Over here! ”
I’m stuck.
I smiled brightly.
“Oh, my God! Oh, my God, there it is! ”
“Monsters, monsters attacked… ”
The boy talked about his situation, not just whether he regarded me as a savior. I cried out for help.
“The village is on fire! Mom, Dad! ”
“Okay, you’re a brave kid. Calm down. Calm down. ”
I bent down and patted his cheek.
Luke, the boy who will be a warrior.
I gently touched the cheek of one of the candidates to cut out my heart.
“A punitive force has entered the village. I’ve been instructed to go around looking for survivors who might not know. ”
“Punitive force? Really? ”
Luke jumps up and down.
“Are you sure you and Dad can live? Your sister, the villagers? ”
“Of course. I promise. Soon you’ll be with everyone in the village. ”
Whether I was relieved in my stomach, the boy began to weep. I thought my family was dead, but I heard that they were alive. You’ll be happy.
“Oh, my God. You must be relieved. That’s right. Come here. ”
I lifted the boy.
“Her name is Daisy, right? ”
“Ugh…… Do you know Daisy, sir? ”
“Of course I know. And your name is Luke. ”
“That’s right.”
I laughed bloody.
“The inside knows about your village. I’ve heard so much about you! Even Luke told you about the girl next door when you were seven. ”
“Eek? Wow! Whoa! How did you know that!? ”
Because I am your enemy, warrior.
I walked through the woods holding Luke in my heart. Heavy. Not just heavy because of the weight. It depends on the weight of your life. I thought so.
Once again, the smoke was starting.
