Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

"Did you say die ......?"

"Yes, yes."

King Maintia is smiling and has a good mood on his face. I said, "What are you talking about?" I felt an urge to smack him on the head, but I suppressed it with a desperate effort and tried to keep my composure while talking to him.

"Do you mean Suicide?"

"Susaido?　What do you mean?"

"The ...... that ...... itself is a life. ......"

"You wouldn't take it off, would you?　What are you talking about?　I have women I love and children. I have more paintings to do and more delicious foods to explore. But my current position as king is too formal. I've been thinking about doing something about that, and I've finally found a way out of it."

"You mean that's how ...... you die?"

"Yes. Again, you're not really going to die. It's about making it look like you're dead."

"Uh, ...... can you explain it a little more so I can understand?"

He opened his mouth to me with a happy laugh and a twinkle in his eye. I frown. He never tells a good story when his eyes are shining.

"You will tell Klimiana that I am dead. I tell her that I am ill. If they send a team of doctors, they will know that I am feigning illness."

"Um, ...... why are you making it so complicated ......?"

"They will think I am an idiot. So I wanted them to believe that I really am an idiot. That way, they would get off the hook. ...... that's what I thought."

"...... are you okay?"

"Besides, this is for Onsar's sake as well as yours."

"For Onsar and me?"

"Yes. After I am gone, the king of the Hradime Kingdom will be Onsar.

"What?　What the hell are you doing?　Onsar is two years old ......, right?"

Yes.

"Is the Hladime country ......?"

"My father, the Great High King, stands in his place. And the vizier Ausay is still alive and well, and I have decided to put Patterson in his place. I will set up a system that will not have any problems even if the current vizier falls.

"Hah ......"

"I already have my father's permission. My father himself felt that it would be strange for me to be in charge of the government while there is still a king. However, I am not interested in politics, so we had no choice but to adopt the current system. If I were to disappear and the throne were to pass to Onsar, my father would be able to play politics without restraint under the guardianship of his young grandson. Moreover, he will pass on to his son all that he has. It would be better for him, for me, for my son, and ultimately for the people of Hradime.

"But your other children are ......."

"No problem at all. Their mothers would rather object than their children ...... that it would be a terrible idea to take over the throne now that their father is alive. Moreover, this is a complicated time when Klimiana is watching us. No one would want to take over the throne at such a time.

"Is that what you think?　Well, I wouldn't meddle too much in the affairs of the Hladime nation. ....... Besides, you said you were doing it for me, what the ......?"

After saying this, King Maintia's smile faded from his face and he turned serious.

"If Onsar ascends to the throne, it will make it easier for you and Piatris to get married, won't it?"

Hearing those words, I looked up at the ceiling with my eyes closed. .......

Aphrodite, the capital of the Crimiana cult. In a room of the Papal temple built in the center of the city, a boy is sitting on a desk, biting it. If you look closely, you can see that he is missing his left arm and is dexterously reading a letter with his remaining right hand. Needless to say, this is Cassel. When he finishes reading the letter, he sighs deeply and mutters in an exasperated manner.

What in the world is this king?　You're crazy. ......"

No wonder Cassel is so stunned. The sender of this letter is King Maintia of the Kingdom of Hradime. He sent a letter to the Pope every two or three days. At first Cassel thought that the letter was a request to postpone his visit to Aphrodite, but when he read the contents, he was speechless. He was speechless when he read the contents of the letter.

"My illness has recently progressed to the point where I am no longer able to spend time in my bedchamber with my wives. Already, I have been sleeping in the empty bedchamber for 20 days now, and I cannot stand it any longer. Therefore, I would like to ask you to give me some medicine as soon as possible. I would like to love them more than ever. Moreover, there are some new attendants at the castle of Alyson, and I would like to share my bedchamber with three of them. I would like to pay particular attention to these three, so that they may gain a wide variety of experiences. For this reason, I have to have more and more s*xual encounters with them. I would appreciate your kind consideration and understanding of this hardship."

Cassel had not expected to receive such a letter so openly and without shame. He laid out the letters of King Maintia on his desk and read through them one by one in the order of their arrival.

"I have a boil on my back, and I have tried all kinds of medicines, but they have not helped at all. Please send me any medicines that you have. By the way, the swelling on my back is about the size of my fist on the lower right side of my shoulder blade, and it is slightly hot. I do not know what to do, so I would appreciate your guidance.

First of all, the first letter from King Maintia read as follows. As I recall, at the time, I thought it was a temporary illness and laughed it off.

Three days later, I received a letter that read as follows

"The swelling on my back shows no sign of going down. Was it something wrong with my diet?　If there is anything I should eat for healing, please let me know. I will eat as directed.

Even at this stage, he did not suspect that King Maintia had a temporary illness. On the other hand, he wanted to tease the king a little. So Cassel replied with a list of several names of suitable weeds and several foodstuffs that were considered delicacies. Of course, he did not forget to specify the date of his appearance before Aphrodite.

But some time after he sent the letter, he began to receive letters from the Hradimë country every day. They reported that they had eaten the foodstuff that Cassel had specified, and on this particular day, they had eaten it stir-fried or boiled, or some other really unimportant details were written seriously.

Cassel was surprised and disappointed at this unexpected development. Most kings, when they receive an order to appear before the court of Crimea, bow down and come to Aphrodite first with a lot of tribute. When the Crimean Church is recognized as a target to be defeated, the country is almost certain to be destroyed. For this reason, it was assumed that the horror of the Church had permeated all nations of the world.

Agartha is an exception to this rule, as it has been completely ignored and now believes that the only way to subjugate this country is to invade it militarily and thoroughly destroy it. However, it is a new country, and the king himself is a slave, and in short, he is able to ignore the Church because he "does not know" it, and there is no way that the Hradime nation, which has long been a believer of the Crimean religion, even with a degree of piety, does not know the horror of the Church. Nevertheless, Cassel honestly could not gauge the humanity of the king Maintia, who had sent these letters without making any apologies to the Church, and who, to top it all off, had sent such an extremely dishonorable letter.

"Maybe he's a real idiot, even more so than Sucre's book says."

But the Hradime nation has an outstanding figure in the person of the great King Libourne. Does he not know how his son behaves? That is inconceivable. It was the Great High King who had been watching over the affairs of the government, and it was not likely that he would overlook the sending of such an outrageous letter to the Church.

"Shall we send a team of doctors to the Hladime country for once ......?"

He looked up to the heavens and muttered to no one in particular.
