Chapter 111 – The Wizard and the Hero of the Warriors Party…(1)
Renye, who was reading the article leisurely as usual, saw an article with an unbelievable content, and he got up from his rocking chair. Chloe frowned at the creepy sound of the chair moving.
“Huh?! Three, oh my god… !”
“Why? I’m craving sweets again, so I’m not asking you to buy other snacks, right?”
“…What are you looking at me for? It’s not yet, so come here. This is pretty… Sounds like a big deal?”
Rainier presses one side of the article towards Chloe with a serious expression. Chloe grumbles, but carefully reads where Rainier is pointing.
Chloe was meant to annoy her if it was something insignificant, but the content of the article was not worth it.
[The news of the death of the next successor, Princess Iris… Citizens shocked!]
[Only the note left by the assailant at the place where she was assassinated… The assailant reveals the corruption of her princess… ]
[Prince Ian’s shock report! The traitors of Valence are actually innocent citizens. The ball of the Demon World Expedition is also her own, not the princess’s.]
[Praise for the assassin and pity for Valence continued… ]
The last two months have been a series of amazing things. It’s been a while since those amazing events happened last time, but this time the assassination of the princess.
Chloe, forgetting to eat the soufflé, opened his mouth and began to examine the article again.
“…Assassination?”
“Isn’t that a big deal? I heard the succession ceremony was right around the corner!”
“Big deal… I won, but who… Umm… “
The prime suspect would be a warrior, but why would he do such a thing?
I must be stuck in a quiet place and trembling all alone.
So, the recent series of events would all be close to karma. If there is a crime committed and there is no punishment, that world is truly a wrong world.
“But when I think about it again, it doesn’t seem like a big deal… Why was Ji-hyeon found dying last month?”
“Ah… He was found chained in restraints. Estimated to be that it had been pierced by a magical dildo for nearly three days… “
“I was also surprised by the Rafe news. He changed his body into a woman somewhere and got a job as a prostitute.”
“Well, there are various castle walls in the world.”
“Is that so… ?”
Considering even the hero who suddenly disappeared one day, none of the first five members of the hero party are doing any external activities.
The assassin’s brain was burned with pleasure and became a half lung, and Tanker was sold to Changgwan with her name changed to Reina…
The wizard and the hero are missing. The saintess who is said to have been kidnapped by the magician who betrayed the party… In fact, it’s been a long time since I’ve been treated as dead.
The heroes who defeated the demon king disappeared into history like that. As if someone was intentionally trying to erase their tracks.
“What is Abel doing?”
Rainier, who was looking at her ceiling with a vague expression, muttered. She replied with a sneer at Chloe.
“You mean that idiot? Umm… I am not particularly curious.”
“I was like that until now… Are you curious about today? Maybe it’s because the snow stopped after two months.”
“Puh… It could be.”
The day when the long snow that started two months ago finally ended.
Wherever you look in the world, it is all pure white. As if everything went back to the beginning.
Rainier looked out the window and her eyes twinkled. In a far away place, the snowman he made the day before stood guarding the temporary demon castle.
When she confirmed that he was standing properly, Rainier smiled and opened her mouth.
“Oh~”
“…Something.”
“Feed me. I have no strength in my arms.”
“Under! I thought I could be your maid… “
“Ugh! They say they’ll hate Aunt Chloe for the rest of their lives if they don’t eat strawberry soufflé right now… ! Aagh!”
“…Let’s see after giving birth, you.”
When that time comes, it is obvious that she will use the children as an excuse again, but it was best for Chloe to say so.
With her eyes closed and her mouth open, she looks like a cuckoo chick. With that feeling in her heart, Chloe smiled and scooped a spoonful of her soufflé and put it in her mouth.
Of course, she also had a delicious strawberry on top.
“Um… Marcy… !”
Rainier stamped her feet and melted as if it was so delicious.
No matter how pregnant she is, she seems to be eating too many sweets lately… Maybe that’s why the teeth are rotting.
Chloe swallowed her portion of the soufflé with trivial worries, realizing that the spoon had slipped in and out of Rainier’s mouth, and her face blushed. Then, in case Rainier noticed, she spat out bluntly.
“I eat quickly and do what I used to do. You promised.”
“Ugh, I can say that because I don’t know how hard this is… If the balance of the body collapses even a little, as soon as Lemarck’s soul is put in, quack! I will tell you.”
“So I have to work even harder.”
“Ha… You should be able to see him within this month at the latest, so don’t rush. Because my desire to see Lemarque is much greater than mine?”
“Puhh. All right. Come on, eat quickly. Oh~”
“Ah… Well, well… “
Rainier, who had come to her soufflé, did not notice, but Chloe subtly pushed her own spoon in the corner of her and was using Rainier’s with her.
She herself did not know why. Just… She just felt really good about the feeling that her face was heating up in a long time.
As the soufflé bottomed out and the dessert time was about to end, a knock sounded from the shabby door.
Smart-
“Who… “
“There is only one person who will come in here! Yes, come in!”
Naturally, it was Alphonse who opened the old door and appeared.
He adopts a familiar manner and smiles benevolently at the two new owners.
It was clear that the owner would not like what he had to say afterwards.
“I apologize for apologising while you are busy. It’s nothing else, about the Demon King… “
“Ah, that’s it! How am I doing Lemarque isn’t even dead.”
“Miss… ! There must be one Demon King in the Demon Realm! Unless Lemarck-sama is here, another demon lord might arise if we continue like this… If that happens, another chaos will come to the Pandemonium!”
Of course, Rainier had her own reasons for rejecting the offer.
“Yeah, but to see me become the demon king… Am I not a demon in the first place? Lemarck will soon open his eyes… “
“You’re right. How will this stupid Rainier ascend to the throne?”
“What if it’s a demon or what if it’s a human? Lady Lemarque’s wife, Lady Rainier, is well qualified to ascend to the temporary throne.”
Stopped, Renye froze at the word consisting of only two letters.
Cronyism. It’s the same as saying that you will admit it as your original place.
Rainier smiled and began to put it on without covering the corners of her ascended mouth as if it were about to touch her cheekbones.
“Pu, puh haha… ! Did you hear yellow? I’m pure! You’re a concubine, no I haven’t even talked to Lemarque once, so let’s just be my lady-in-waiting!”
“Ugh… “
Chloe gnashed her teeth in resentment. Chloe’s teeth gnashed even more each time Rainier let out her cheery laugh, and Chloe couldn’t help but put her spoon in her mouth.
I’m going to have a good time. I unknowingly licked the spoon.
“Anyway, miss… “
“Yes, yes. All right. Devil? Let’s do something like that. You really can’t do anything, right? Can I hand it over to LeMarc right away?”
“Ha ha, yes. Then… Let us prepare for the coronation ceremony. Albeit formally.”
“Yes! Please, Mr. Alphonse!”
‘A demon king… What would your parents say if they found out? Would you like to be successful… ‘
Rainier just smiled brightly, unaware that she would suffer from her grueling workload from tomorrow. Because the resonance of the word ‘king’ was not something that could be easily heard.
After a moment of fuss, Rainier put her hand on her armrest and lifted herself from her rocking chair. Her Chloe fumbled with her spoon and supported her in her fright.
“Whichchacha… “
“Joe, watch out!”
“This is overprotective. I haven’t even gotten out yet… “
“Yeah, but they’re twins… It’s something you never know. Absolute stability! You know!”
“Flaw… Okay. Thanks Chloe.”
It was Chloe’s help that she was able to live in this new demon castle (even though it was a shabby three-room shack) and not feel lonely.
Even though they often bicker, though they grumble every time. Because she is always by her side.
Rainier smiled and brushed Chloe’s blonde hair. Chloe opened her eyes in surprise, like her rabbit, then lowered her head.
For some reason, her face became angry again, and she couldn’t bear to look at Rainier.
“Well… Now the mana must have been gathered, and today’s work will be done… “
However, the moment she straightened her back and was about to approach Le Marc’s body lying on the bed.
Bang!
“Ah, lady… !”
“Huh? What’s wrong, Mr. Alphonse?”
“Ji, now in the audience room… ! You should come right away!”
“…?”
Unlike earlier, Alphonse appeared with a serious expression, so the girls hardened their expressions.
I guess… It was as if an uninvited guest had arrived.
***
I’m not really going to gossip anywhere… I was living in hiding, but how did you find it!
“It’s been a while, Lena.”
“…What’s the matter? Are you going to come and take me back now?”
“Well… “
Sitting in the throne room and living room of the new demon king was a blond-haired man. Very familiar to both me and Chloe… It was Abel.
He smiled bitterly and pointed to the chair opposite him.
Well, what do you do when you throw it away…
He glanced at him, and Chloe nodded and brought two chairs. All of them were worn out and I doubted when they would break.
Abel said with a smile on her face.
“Isn’t it too narrow for an audience room? So… “
“Because someone destroyed the demon castle in the first place.”
“Ah… “
“This was the best we had for our money! It’s really, really, really, really good.”
“…Sorry.”
Abel who doesn’t notice. Time has passed, but you are still the same.
I glare at him, and he looks at the floor, scratching his head shyly. No matter how long that confrontation had passed, Mr. Alphonse set down teacups filled with black tea in front of each person’s seat.
“Did you hear? That the people of Valence have been recognized for their innocence.”
“Huh. Jihyun and Rafe also look like that… It feels like the world is finally returning to its place.”
“Haha… I know. Be in place..”
He appeared in front of us one day, and the way he wiggled his fingers.
No matter who you bring in, it’s not hard to guess that he has something to say. As expected, Abel, who had been silent for a while, cautiously opened her mouth.
“I… Lena… “
“It’s a son and a daughter.”
“Uh, huh?”
“Twins in my belly. It’s a son and a daughter. The old fortune teller said yes.”
“Children… “
It’s only slightly swollen now, but what will Abel think?
At first, his expression was just blank. But after that, the expression on his face was heartbreaking, despondent, sad, and relieved. A lot of emotions came and went.
Watching it was quite an ordeal, so I lovingly hugged my stomach and told him.
“Don’t make that face. Because I don’t hate you anymore.”
“But… All because of me… !”
“Are you okay. No, I would be lying if I said it was okay. But these days I have nothing to worry about… “
I glanced at Chloe and she nodded her head up and down her.
I know I shouldn’t think like this, but… I think I know why that garbage treated Chloe as a puppy in the last episode. The soft expression is so cute.
… Anyway. That’s not the point.
“I’m happy. More and more as the time approaches to see him again.”
“I see… “
Abel, who was speechless, looked at Chloe helplessly. But after giving me a cute nod, she shook her head.
“Look at Rainier, not me. Than me… Doesn’t she have something to say to her?”
“Huh…”
He stabbed me in the side and left the audience room (living room).
As I was ignoring the awkwardness of being alone with him, he called my name in a low voice.
“Lena.”
“Huh. Say.”
“…Lena, I… “
