10 – It’s just that this country is doomed

“Ahh… !! Isabelle! My one and only daughter! How scared are you now! I’m a child who grew up without a single hardship… !!”

The high-ranking king was wandering back and forth in the same spot, distracted.

In the meantime, I had to leave all the difficult and difficult tasks to my servants and do the follow-up, but this time I had to do it myself.

“no one! Surely there is no one to bring Faust! To this vast country! Where have all the servants gone!!”

The king’s work table was full of petitions from his subjects requesting a sudden leave.

There were a variety of reasons, from a person who used to be fine to suddenly falling ill, to a person who pretended to be a psychopath, saying that a relative had died, or that normal work was difficult because of hallucinations.

The conclusion was the earnest cry of the servants who wanted to drop out of this mission.

why…

“It must be because I don’t want to be photographed by someone who might become a hero. Don’t you know that either? Because she is so incompetent, her daughter’s education has also failed. kel kel kel… ”

“Keugh!! Be careful with your words! This body is the king! You are the king of this country!!”

“Kel kel kel… The nobleman, who should be concerned about his life, let alone the throne, shouted loudly. If you are so good, why did you call this old bastard?”

An old woman with wrinkled skin cracking like an old, decaying tree, appeared between the pillars, clad in a cloak much larger than her haggard body and holding a cane.

The old woman’s name is Bonita de Aurelia.

He was a person estimated to be the oldest among the living, and he was also a member of the royal family who lived in a royal palace in the distant past. Now, he builds a secluded hut in the suburbs and lives alone, but is sometimes summoned as an advisor when wisdom is needed.

Even today, the king personally invited them to the drawing room.

“what? Are your lives at stake? what nonsense is that You must have finally become senile.”

“Kel kel kel. How many kings were replaced during the vacancy period 70 years ago? When you wake up, a new king ascends the throne, so people don’t even remember the king’s name, right? After all, another king will appear tomorrow.”

“… what. It’s different then and now. I have already ruled the country for 20 years and the people are full of loyalty.”

“There is no such thing as loyalty. There is only a way of dealing with power. Kel kel kel.”

“What an obnoxious old woman… ”

That’s why I didn’t want to call this woman. If possible, I’d like to stay out of the cabin forever… It was an emergency right now, so the so-called wise wisdom was needed. The older you are, the more experience you have.

“Isabelle has been kidnapped by a dragon. What should I do? There must be a way to deal with this when it happens. I heard you lived a thousand years… Is it true that you were a member of the first hero’s party?”

“Kel kel kel… then it’s true how cute i was back then He was the maknae who monopolized the love of the party.”

puck.

If you spit it out with your monster-like appearance now, it will only sound like a nasty joke.

“What should I do if I get kidnapped by a dragon? that’s not that simple Burn incense and hold a funeral. I have to send Princess Isabella’s soul to the underworld. Kel Kel Kel. Oh, and let’s hold a second funeral for the ruined royal family of Aurelia.”

“Stop talking nonsense!!! You are not a member of the royal family either!! How can you say such vile things! Are you still human?!”

“Kel kel kel… The guy who was kicked out of the palace because he didn’t want to see the old man speaks well.”

“… … … .”

“Did you treat Faust as hard as I did? I wish I had brought him as a spare in the first place, but I should have given Faust preferential treatment in case Lucy phone or something died.”

“No, that… Because the hero hates Faust so much, and if he takes Faust’s side, he declares that he is an enemy… ”

“Whatever it is, from Faust’s point of view, his feelings were hurt as much as possible, but how could he be foolish about wanting to flirt with him now that the friend who bullied him died?”

“… But if you can’t convince him, the princess will die. Then, as you say, the royal family will be cut off. Come up with a number somehow. That’s why I called you.”

“Well, there has to be a way.”

“Really? What is it?”

When Bonita acted hesitantly, pretending to be difficult to speak, the king, who became hotter, insisted on answering quickly. Bonita said with a note to keep in mind that this is the only way.

“All you have to do is kneel down in front of Faust and beg for forgiveness. I don’t need Aurelia or the throne, so please forgive me. Could you do that?”

“You are crazy!! I am the king!!!”

“… Tsk tsk. This country is over. Because of the stupid woman… ”

I’ve brought the Nogu along, but it’s no use. Bonita found Serena crouching down holding a holy sword.

Since her family’s life was at stake, she was in a position where she could not quickly take sick leave and rest like other servants.

“Aren’t you the bold wizard who took the lead in avoiding Faust?”

“ah! uh, over there that! Me, because the hero ordered me too!”

“I’m begging. I know that you bullied the hero for being overrated to get points. Your life is now in danger.”

“Oh I… One way or another, Faust will forgive you. please… ”

“Is that really possible… Phew. I don’t know if I put the wrong button on in the first place. If Faust had been appointed as a hero from the beginning… ”

Bonita closed her eyes and remembered that fateful day.

On the day Lucy von Letlea and Faust were first summoned, Lucy, who prostrated herself like a meek dog in front of power, and proud Faust, had a clear difference in their abilities from the outside.

Lucy was short and round, with a bulbous nose and torn eyes, giving the impression of being greedy and lazy, whereas Faust was a tall and handsome young man.

“Hey you bastard! I’m a phone pal?! Do we really need to talk about that here?”

“What do you call a bastard like you who asks to see you after a long time and throws my phone on the floor pretending to be a mistake and sticks in a contract to buy a new phone?”

“That, that! I said it was a real mistake, you bastard!”

Bonita, who was present as an elder, was stunned for a moment when she saw Faust’s face and thought it was a dream. His face resembled the first hero she had loved for a thousand years.

Bonita advised the king to make Faust a hero. Faust is the only one who can unleash the true power of the holy sword.

However, the king chose Kwak Dong-soo. It was because he thought he would listen better.

Perhaps from then on, the fate of the kingdom began to decline.

Over the course of a thousand years, Bonita has experienced the rise and fall of numerous kingdoms.

There is no one who does not die, and there is no country that does not perish.

I’ve experienced enough that it’s the truth of the world, but… Still, when the country he was born in was on the brink of destruction, the old man’s heart beat painfully.

Aren’t the people who have been living in this country too pitiful to perish because of such a stupid king?

You may need to convince me one more time.

“Look, King. Listen carefully. You can’t live long without a hero. Do you think the dragon’s purpose is simply to be a princess? It is to undermine your authority, starting with the princess, and finally targeting you. If your power weakens, naturally, those who seek your position will appear one after another. History has been like that.”

“Then you want me to go and apologize to Faust?”

“If you want to live, then so be it. If you want to save your daughter, do it. As a father, as a king, you should.”

“No, but… still… !!”

Bonita let out a pathetic sigh when she saw the king hesitated because of mere pride even in this yard. How did such an idiot become king… It seems that the national fortune is coming to an end.

Bonita manages to bring the king to Faust’s house after several times of earnest persuasion.

He knocks on the door with his cane, but there is no response.

He sends a gesture to the king to open the door to Faust’s heart.

The king cleared his throat with an expression that he didn’t want to die.

“Large. Listen to Faust. I, the King of Aurelia, offer you my sincere apologies. The princess has been kidnapped by a dragon and the peace of the kingdom is now in jeopardy, so your cooperation is desperately needed. Please open the door and accept my request from me.”

The door was open though.

But what came out was Misha, an elf girl with pointy ears.

“Master, did you go to the academy?”

“… ? what is it Did you go to the academy in a state of emergency where the whole country is now?”

“The master said… What do you mean ‘what does it have to do with me’? I’m going to ask the great sage how to get back home from the academy.”

“What… What trick is this! Are you going back?! How much money did I spend to summon myself! You crazy bastard who doesn’t even know grace!”

“Master, if someone comes to your house and curses at you, please tell them like this. ‘If you twist it, you’ll be a hero’”

“Hey, this guy!! You dare to despise wine for an insignificant elf!”

“It’s a non-electronic war.”

When the resilient king rushed at him, Misha lightly pushed him away with the palm of his hand. The king flew to the palace at high speed as if caught in a typhoon.

Vertebral fractures and traumatic myelitis. Plus three broken ribs.

It was a list of the king’s injuries. Losing consciousness and passing out is a bonus.

“Kel kel kel… I ate one of these. I never thought that Misha Greenwood would come out of the Faust house.”

“Who is your grandmother? Do you know Misha? Misha is the master’s slave, so it’s natural for her to live in the master’s house.”

“Can’t you see? Well, I’m old too. I am Bonitale.”

“what… ? Is it Bonita?”

Misha’s expression changed to a cold expression completely different from when she was with Faust. Her round, large pupils became thin like cat’s eyes.

“Usually, if the king’s body is injured, it should be punished with the death penalty, but Aurelia doesn’t have the military power to kill Misha Greenwood. kel kel kel… ”

“Laughter sounds like shit.”

“Five… That icy voice reminds me of you in the past. It was hard to hear the voice of the master, the master, and the charming voice.”

“I’m warning you, but if you say useless things to your master, I will really kill you.”

“You know I’m not kidding. I don’t want to go to war with the elves again… If the Elves had won the war a thousand years ago, on the contrary, I would have become your slave. is not it? Queen of elves… Guardian of the World Tree, Misha Greenwood.”

“huh… It’s all in the past. Now I am working for the master with all my heart. I don’t want to get caught up in the past.”

“It is said that elves change into someone else when they love someone, so I guess you are no exception. History would have changed if you had fallen in love with the first hero.”

“No matter what, the elves lost to the humans and we were enslaved, and thanks to that, in a thousand years, I’ve come to know more than ever before what a scumbag and disgusting creature humans are. Fortunately, Master hates you guys deeply, so it’s good. What is it?”

Mischa Greenwood mocked Bonita, looking more like a seducer than a slave, and went back home.

“Whether the princess is captured, the king is fractured, or the country is ruined, it has nothing to do with us. I and my master will harass you very cruelly, so I’m looking forward to that.”

“… … … … .”

Bonita wandered the streets with a confused mind, and then went back to the cabin.

There was nothing more to do with Mischa Greenwood, and the king was too small to promote ambassadors. It is said that they gathered an insufficient number of soldiers and attacked Faust’s house, and all that was left were hanged on the Devil’s Tree.

“If Faust had gone to the academy… The only thing left to do now is to pin my hopes on Minerva.”

Great Sage Minerva von Old Book. Deciding to leave everything to her, who is said to be the wisest on the continent of Pangea, Bonita went into confinement again.

On the other hand, all the servants to help the king have left, and all the soldiers to be in charge of security have turned into nuts, so no one remains by his side. Grabbing a broken rib alone in the vast palace, the king was having the worst time since taking the throne.
