Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 110

25. The Devil Proposes (4)

Cadenza watched Zeke’s cooking and opened his mouth.

“Now that I think about it, I forgot to mention it, but I met my younger siblings.”

“My younger brother?”

“Signi and Regin, right?”

“yes! How are you?”

“yes. “It appears that he is living in the southern warbler pavilion where Seonghwangcheong is temporarily staying.”

“ah! “I thought he was going to be fine, but now that I’ve heard the story, I’m even more worried.”

“You both look cute? “The girl in particular was nice.”

“Yes? “Signi is already 10 years old, but he’s already grown up.”

Zeke continued talking while turning over the meat.

“I was so heartbroken to hear that I also worked part-time at Neuekan. “I have to work harder to make money, but how did it end up with so many monsters?”

“I asked you to join Zodiac Night.” At Oridon’s words, Zeke refused with an awkward smile.

Cadenza said.

“Becoming a Zodiac Knight doesn’t mean you immediately break up with your colleagues. If you wish, you can hire them as guardians of the constellation of knights directly under the Zodiac Knight.”

Deus sharpened his blade towards Cadenza.

“Hey, why don’t you take out an employee in front of the boss?”

“Wasn’t the company bankrupt?”

“shut up. It’s because you guys are incompetent. “You were at Joryx Castle and it was completely robbed by giants, right?”

“I happened to be somewhere else. “To investigate the undead army that Zeke fought.”

Zeke flinched and glanced at Sadimus.

“Well, before I could properly investigate, chaos broke out and I had to return to the castle.”

“What do the other Zodiac Knights do and you are the only ones doing the work?”

“They are scattered all over the world. In particular

, there are always two knights staying in the passage connecting to the demon world. “I don’t know if we will have to dispatch workers to places where volcanoes have erupted in the future.”

Zeke listened to the Zodiac Knights’ stories with sparkling eyes.

I would be lying if I said I wasn’t interested in Zodiac Nights.

However, because the favor he has received from Deus is great, he is just putting his mind aside.

“That aside, Joryx Castle is now gone, right? “I think it would be better to abandon it and go somewhere else.”

Deus looked at Zeke and said this.

“It’s like,

“What kind of business are you going to do there?” “It would be better to go to the safe rear and get a new store.”

“But I am a resident of Joryx Castle.”

“It’s not like there are any slave documents or anything, right?”

“Yes, but.” Cadenza said.

“It’s like customary law, but the residents of the lord are the property of the lord.”

“Is there a document?”

“It’s common sense.”

“If it is not in writing, it is invalid.”

“If it goes to trial, it will be even more disadvantageous. “The enemy would be better than the Lord Count.”

“The one rolling around is the Count, so what?”

“The kingdoms have a long history, so although there are a lot of high-ranking nobles, their status does not disappear.”

Jose Continent was in a state of personnel backlog.

The status of nobility was inherited, so

it was easy to increase but difficult to disappear.

Due to the increase in nobility during the 666th century, the number of dukes increased to several in each country.

“An earl is the king of a small country. “Even a warrior cannot ignore that authority.”

“Then the conclusion is simple. “I have to kill him.”

The surroundings froze at the words Deus spat as he tore a piece of meat and swallowed it.

“I’m the king of a territory that doesn’t even look like a territory with a border made of rocks,

so I don’t care. But for me, establishing royal authority is a completely different story. I am a king because there is a castle and I have something to gain from it. If you just take without giving anything, you’re a thief, right? “You can beat up the thief and kill him.”

Zeke shouted in surprise.

“No!”

“why?”

“You are the lord. It’s not like they ruined it on purpose, and they’re still doing it for the sake of the permanent residents…

“I’m drunk after drinking.”

“That’s because you’re temporarily disappointed. “You’ll be okay.”

“The bowl is small. Just because it’s a little difficult, I immediately turn to alcohol. Anyway, you decide. Either you leave on your own or the lord disappears.”

“Are you really… planning to kill the lord?”

Cadenza joined the conversation with a stern expression.

“I’ll take back what I said earlier. “Please stop plotting to assassinate the lord in front of the Holy Knight.”

“Then you can mediate.”

Oridon, another holy man who was eating quietly, opened his mouth.

“Well, if it were our story, Lord Zorik would understand. But it’s give and take, right? “What are you going to do for me?”

“Once you settle down in a good castle, I’ll give you a set of armor as a gift. “First of all, it’s a prize for arms.”

“It’s enough to bring something like that from our family. How about more valuable conditions? For example, Zeke.”

“Is the conversation going back there again?”

“That’s the way it is.”

Deus crossed his arms.

“It’s not a very interesting condition. We should just kill Lord Joryx. Sadimus!”

“Yes, master.”

“Before I arrive, cut off Lord Joryx’s head and throw it somewhere appropriately.”

“Yes, master.”

Zeke was surprised.

“Now wait a minute! Mr. Sadimus, this is…

“I only listen to my master’s orders. “Zeek

, even you won’t be able to stop it.” Sadimus stood up.

At that moment, Cadenza’s sword pressed against his neck.

“I don’t know if it’s a joke or serious, but if it’s serious, I have no choice but to be serious about this too.”

Deus snorted.

“joke? I’ve never done anything like that in my life. “Tie up that guy.”

“Yes, master.”

Laque’s vines grew to wrap around Cadenza’s wrists.

However,

Katencha’s skills were not so poor that he could not react after hearing the story.

Cadenza cut down dozens of Lache’s vines. However, because of that, I lost sight of Sadimus.

Sadimus, who slithered out of the way like a shadow, floated toward the darkness.

Oridon stopped him again.

“Hey, why are we on the same side like this?”

Deus said, still sitting awkwardly.

“It was the same episode just a moment ago. Now they are divided into the faction that assassinated Lord Joryx and the opposing faction. Which side are you on? Will you assassinate the lord

and free Zeke of his identity, or will you still keep him under his control? “Make your decision.”

“That’s because it’s not something that can be divided like a sword.”

Oridon said, ruffling his hair as if he was frustrated.

“Why don’t you do as we say and send Zeke as a Zodiac Knight? I heard your colleagues can go with you too. Of course, there is a stipulation that it is when Zeke wants it, but as of now, it doesn’t look like he will be against it.”

After Oridon, Cadenza spoke.

“The secular law cannot break the sacred law. If Mr. Zeke becomes a Holy Knight of the Holy Emperor, his bondage with Lord Joryx will naturally be severed.”

“Does that mean it’s also customary law?”

“yes. He is a knight who leaves the castle upon being called by God. Rather, we should send him off with the highest respect.”

“Anyway, you guys are full of thoughts about taking Zeke away. Okay, it’s much easier and more convenient to just kill the lord.”

“But if that happens, Zeke

will become a criminal.”

“Yeah, no. Do you think I’ll leave a trace or something? “What are you going to do with just your heart?”

“We saw and heard.”

“Are you going to ruin Zeke’s life by saying that? “You said you were a friend?”

“

Cadenza frowned at that.

I couldn’t abandon Zeke because of the death of Lord Zoricks. He was the person who would become the master of Ascaron, the Sword Saint Society.

“how is it? “Isn’t this the most comfortable?”

“Stop it, Deus. “I will tell my lord well so as not to interfere with Deus-sama’s work.”

“you?”

” yes.”

“Can I do it?”

“I will try. “If it doesn’t work out, you can ask Canadin.”

“You mean the Holyoke matriarch?”

Deus paused for a moment and then opened his mouth.

“Sadimus Raque. “Cancel the order I gave.”

“Yes, master.”

Sadimus has emerged from the darkness into the light again.

Lake also glanced at Deus with an annoyed look on his face and went down to his feet again.

It was impossible for Cadenza and Oridon to take their swords home.

At this moment, Cadenza had this thought.

Rather, the person I wish would die and disappear is you, Deus.

Because it was a real obstacle that was binding Zeke.

Seonghwang dozed off in a chair in his office.

—Come to me.

In that dream, I heard someone calling me.

– Come to me.

“Who are you?”

-I am everything and I am one.

What he could see was a shimmering light.

I was so scared that I didn’t dare raise my head, so I could only look out of the corner of my eye.

-Do not be afraid. I am your master and the master of all things.

Seonghwang was startled and pressed his forehead to the dirt.

“Lord! “My master!”

– Come to me.

“Where art thou!”

-The deepest part of Akoma Castle. Shed your blood there. It will be a foundation, and my representative will be there.

Seonghwang opened his eyes in surprise.

It was a dream. But it was clear as if it were an experience.

“The depths of Akoma Castle… Are you sure you mean that place?”

He got up from his seat and hurriedly called the servant.

“Get the carriage ready! “I should go to Akoma Castle.”

While riding in the carriage, Seonghwang pressed his hands to his chest.

I am 83 years old this year.

So faithful.

I always prayed and sought God’s grace, but unfortunately, God did not give me a single oracle.

But today, he finally came down to take a nap.

Seonghwang’s eyes became moist.

Wiping away my tears, I looked out the carriage window.

The landscape of the world has changed.

“Miracles come in pain. “He came because the suffering in the world has reached its peak.”

His carriage passed the south gate of the Acoma royal castle.

There were signs of recent renovation.

It seemed like a big war had been fought, but no one had a clear answer to that fact.

It was as if I had drunk from the spring of oblivion. Or as if hiding a shameful past.

“Your Holiness, it will be soon. “I have sent you a message in advance, so His Majesty the King of Verde will be waiting for you.”

“Hmm, Chamberlain.”

“Yes, Your Holiness.”

“Do you like this chaos?”

The Holy Emperor left the castle town of Neuekan and temporarily settled in a manor near Acoma.

It was a severe time that could not even be defined by one word: chaos.

“I think this is also a trial from the Lord.”

“You are a faithful man.”

Seonghwang looked out the carriage window.

The servant fidgeted, wondering if he had said something wrong.

When the carriage stopped, Seonghwang opened his mouth again.

“These are times of chaos. The reason it was named the Age of Chaos, not iron or bronze, after gold and silver… may have been the wisdom of the prophets who foresaw the chaos that was now in front of us. If it is a time given by God, enduring it is human karma. You are right. “This too is a trial of the Lord.”

“His Holiness

“Open the door.”

“Yes, Your Holiness!”

The Chamberlain supported the King’s body and made it easier for him to get out of the carriage.

The knights who had lined up to meet him in advance saluted in loud voices.

At the center of the knights was a woman with a gentle smile.
