“The meeting place has been decided.”
Today is only two days after the meeting day.
Contrary to the expectation that it would take at least a week, Lang’s jaw-dropping action ability made an appointment with the warrior faction in just two days.
Did he deep down think that the other side should not go to war, or was the negotiation a lie and he was planning to attack them on the spot?
The greater the number of people present, the more likely it is to be the latter, so when I asked him just in case, Lang smiled and shook his head.
“It’s okay, you don’t have to worry about that. There are two people who show up. On our side, it’s me and Mr. Felt. And over there is Gileon and his wife.”
Of course, just the two of them would be enough strength, so they couldn’t let down their guard, but at least they wouldn’t be planning on starting an all-out war right away.
Moreover, the location is none other than the Prime Minister’s office located in the royal palace.
It was said that no matter how young a person he was, the possibility of doing something like that in the palace was extremely low, so he should be reassured.
I’m a little concerned that the probability isn’t 0, but there’s no end to discussing it.
So the next day we headed to the palace.
Just as you need to dress appropriately to enter a luxury restaurant, the royal palace also has a corresponding dress code.
In order to enter the royal palace as a guest, one must consider not only simple attire but also title, etc., but there was no need to worry this time.
Although the fire that burned the royal capital did not reach the royal palace, its aftermath completely shook the royal palace.
Not only the nobles at the edge of the faction, but also the half-baked officials who did not belong anywhere closed their eyes and ears and waited for this storm to pass.
Even though I know there will be stronger winds after this storm passes.
‘Irresponsible guys… .’
In the true sense, I have lived my whole life in a country without a king, so it is understandable that I react that way.
Because there is nothing more foolish and unfair than taking responsibility for yourself in a place where no one else is responsible.
It would be wise to wait quietly and hope that someone else good will figure it all out.
Rang and I finally arrived at the Prime Minister’s office, calmly accepting the mixed gaze.
Lang jokingly said that this place was unfamiliar to her as she rarely went to work in this office, but in fact, she got lost a few times on the way here.
No matter how large and complex the palace was, the fact that she got lost on the way to her office seemed to prove how unfamiliar she was with the palace.
This is a country that runs even when the Prime Minister is not in office.
As time passed, I became more skeptical as to whether there was really a need for a country like this to exist.
“After this is over, there is someone I would like to introduce to you. Do you mind if I have a moment?”
“It’s okay if it’s just for a moment. But is the person you want to introduce actually someone who lives in the palace?”
“Oh my, did you hear from Terezina?”
“No, I just took some pictures since I was at the palace. I met the faction’s leading man once, so all that’s left is royalty, right?”
“That’s true.”
If you think about it, Lang nodded and opened the door to his office.
“Ha… .”
Immediately after opening the door, Lang burst into laughter without realizing how absurd it was and stared at the first guest who came without permission.
Gileon Dragonheart, leader of the warrior faction.
He arrived at the office one step ahead of us and was sitting at the desk, holding a sword with mana in his right hand.
As if the sword alone wasn’t enough for him, as he was assessed as a coward, he was also wearing stylish armor, and looking at the mana spreading on the surface, it seemed like a high-quality item with magic attached to it.
The attire was hundreds of light years away from the place of reconciliation. If this was a restaurant with a dress code, I would have been turned away at the entrance without being able to enter.
“Is that person stupid?”
No wonder those words came out of my mouth at that moment.
It was commendable that only two people came as promised, but other than that, everyone else was out.
“Watch your mouth. The kid… .”
Gileon stood up, speaking in a low voice that sounded like an animal growling.
His tall stature, which was over 2 meters tall, gave off an intimidating feeling, but I didn’t think much of it, perhaps because I had lived with Wu, who was similar in height to Gileon, for a long time.
Well, compared to dinosaurs, they are also dwarfs.
“Don’t get all worked up about something a kid said. You didn’t come here to fight, right?”
“That depends on how it comes out.”
An angry voice interrupts from the side.
When I turned my head to see where the voice came from, a woman who was hidden by Gilleon’s presence rolled her eyes and spoke.
“You guys definitely have something to do with this!! If that’s confirmed, right here too ――!!”
“Ha… .”
Wrong.
These kids aren’t the type to listen to what other people say.
There’s no way to prove that we’re not involved, but even if we could, these guys wouldn’t listen.
As someone said at the meeting, if you approach them with the opposite sex, they are the type of people who will actually get angry.
Moreover, since among us was the most famous demon familiar in the kingdom, they probably thought it was a plausible inference.
In fact, the Prime Minister’s faction knew about the attack in advance and protected their children in a safe place, so it was not that wrong.
“It’s evidence, it’s Nabal, and I’m going to cut off your heads right here… !!!”
“If you don’t mind never seeing your son again, then please do whatever you want. Oh, this isn’t a threat, I’m just telling the truth?”
“… … !!”
The words could only be heard as a threat, but the two people hesitated even though they were angry, as if they did not want to give up hope that their son was alive.
They are truly loving parents.
If that overflowing love were shared with Youngmin, it would be a truly wonderful world.
“Let me tell you this first. Not us. I don’t want to say this in front of my parents, but your son’s illness has no value to us.”
“… … .”
“Likewise, they wouldn’t be devil worshipers either. As far as I know, your son’s level is below 10. Even if you have the blood of a warrior, it’s not worth getting to that level by doing such a grandiose thing.”
Then all that’s left is the Empire, but we can’t provide evidence that they did it, and we don’t know if they actually did.
However, for now, I was okay with such trivial facts, so I continued talking casually.
“Your son’s kidnapping was probably a trick of the empire. They kidnapped Gus, expecting that the prime minister’s faction, which had received information in advance, would withdraw the students.”
“What? You knew this in advance?!”
“I had never heard of such a large-scale terrorist attack, but I knew that it would happen sooner or later.”
“These kids… !!”
“I don’t understand why you’re angry. Have we ever been colleagues even for a moment? If you’re going to hate, hate the empire, not us.”
“Say that now――!!”
“Stop!!!”
The wife, who had stopped speaking due to Gilleon’s sudden shout, looked back at him in surprise.
Not paying any attention to her astonished gaze, Gileon asked us with his hands firmly held.
“Isn’t being captured by them the same as being dead? But why should I listen to you in silence?”
As he said, falling into the hands of the empire is the same as dying.
Right now, the kingdom does not have the capacity to wage an all-out war against the Empire and win completely, and even if war is not waged, they will never be able to meet a living Gus again.
Then there is only one means left.
By starting a war, you give in to what the empire wants, and in return you get Gus back.
The Empire would also like to avoid going to war with the Kingdom, so it would rather return Gus and wait for the Kingdom, which was devastated after losing one of its two pillars, to naturally collapse.
“If they threaten you about that, shouldn’t you just go and save your son?”
“Do you think Gus will be alive if you send someone?”
“Probably dead. If it were me, I might try to use deception and kill him right before my eyes.”
“You know that, but what nonsense are you talking about? ”
Either way, there is no way to save my son.
Upon confirming that fact once again, Gileon tried to explode with anger right away… .
“So, I arranged this place because there was a way.”
When I suddenly stepped forward, he looked down at me with wary eyes, wondering if this was some kind of trick.
“… I was worried about you earlier, but who are you?”
“Umm… . A special being, the only one in the kingdom?”
“What?”
I’m embarrassed to even say it, but it’s the truth and I can’t help it.
Lang said with a faint smile to the two people who were blushing in a different way from me at the joke-like remark.
“Felt is definitely special. After all, he is the only person in the kingdom who can learn the revival magic.”
Reviving magic.
Even those unfamiliar with magic would know very well what that meant.
The most precious and special magic in this world that was thought to be virtually impossible to obtain anymore.
When I told them that I would soon be able to use such magic, the two people were wary but could not give up hope and came up to me and asked.
“… I said I might learn. So you’re saying I can’t use revival magic yet?”
“Yes. But I learned resurrection magic!”
“Resurrection magic… ?”
While Gileon was muttering that, I took out a small dagger from my pocket and without hesitation, plunged it into my neck.
In an instant, the aorta was cut and a sharp stream of blood spurted out, staining Gilleon’s face.
Having lost a large amount of blood in an instant, my mind gradually began to fade away, and soon the criminal began to fall into the darkness from which he could never return.
After a while, when I opened my eyes again, what I saw was the astonished gaze of two people who had literally witnessed a miracle.
I stood up with Lang’s support, opened my arms towards the two people, and spoke brightly.
“Ta-da~!”
