The Case About The Ladies From A Noble Family Who Turned Out to Be Yanderes After I Saved Them

Chapter 27: The Power of Prey

“Your Majesty! A man named Alan has broken the laws of the Kingdom of Laodecia!”

“Indeed! We’ve got to get him fast…”

His subjects appealed to King Bern, but he made no move. Then he spoke to his subjects in a small voice.

“We’ll definitely get rid of this Alan guy later, but let’s just sit tight for now. And…”

He hung up and beckoned a little to the Lifeguard who was waiting next to him. The Lifeguard then approached King Bern, and King Bern gave him an earful.

“Yes, Understood!”

With that, the Lifeguard hurriedly left the arena.

Then King Bern looked at Haruto Takatori and secretly mumbled some meaningful words.

”Haruto Takatori-sama, I wish for you to be recognized in front of everyone.”

With a confused look on his face.

On Haruto’s side

“Summon tank armor…!”

As I chanted, a number of thick tank armor covered me. As expected of a mini-golem, even it couldn’t destroy this mass of iron.

“Pfft! Hahahaha!””

As I was on the defensive, I could hear Alan’s laughter coming from the other side.

“How can you chant a spell… And you call yourself a class 5! Hahaha!!! Don’t tell me you didn’t trick… Miss Alice into thinking you’re one.”

Alan’s tone provoked me with all his might. But I was unmoved.

Because Alice was giving me a hot look all the time. By the way, Alice was surrounded and protected by the Royal Lifeguards, Lindsey and Elyse.

A tactic that would allow me to win by showing Alan my overwhelming power in a way that would not harm the people around me. And as I desperately thought about it…

We had reached a certain singularity.

So I replied to Alan.

“These petty little golems can’t defeat me.”

“Huh! The scum who can’t even use magic without chanting is calling… my golem petty!”

“And, you’re trying to kill me, right? Then I’ll treat you as an enemy and deal with you. If you don’t want to die, lie down and hold the back of your neck with your hands while your stomach is still attached to the ground.”

“You’re not gonna do that! God damn it! If the mini-golem doesn’t work, then…”

Alan said and disappeared the mini-golems that were just beating on the thick armor.

And…

“I will kill you with my giant golem! Haaaaa!!!”

He summoned a giant golem that was well over 10 meters tall.

The audience was stunned with their mouths open when they saw the overwhelming size of the golem.

A golem that size could only be summoned by a class 5 earth magician!

“That guy was class 3 the other day, but how the heck he…!”

“No way… it’s scary…”

The nobles who had followed us out of curiosity were horrified.

“Look! Look at this giant golem! Only a handful of Class 5 magicians can destroy it! You, who can’t even use magic without chanting, will be a piece of cake for this Giant Golem! Ahahahaha!”

Alan taunted me with his arrogance.

I gave him one last warning.

“You’re not really going to give up, are you?”

“Are you… out of your mind? Have you been so scared by this overwhelming difference in power that you’ve paralyzed your ability to make normal decisions!”

“Well, then, be my guest.”

“Ahahahaha! You don’t have to be strong, just bow down to… me and give up Miss Alice and that’s all you have to do! If you don’t want to do that, you’ll have to die. No, your death is certain since you’ve taken Miss Alice’s lips! Giant golem! Erase this thing in front of you without a trace!”

“Goooooaaaaah”

The Giant Golem ran towards me.

I quickly erased the tank’s armor and…

I put up an innumerable amount of thick steel plates around the running golem, which consumed quite a bit of magic power since it was a huge body over 10 meters long. But I was a class 5 summoning magician. This was no problem.

And I, with my eyes on the sky, muttered to myself.

“Summon, Type 99 self-propelled 155mm howitzers!”

Then, five howitzers appeared from the sky, facing downwards. I summoned five of them because I thought that if I summoned any more of them, my magic power would be in trouble.

“S**t! What’s with the wall? ! Giant golem! Break it down!”

“Gooooooo!!!”

It tried so hard to hit the thick steel with his fists.

Though it’s already too late.

“Hey, second son, shall I teach you something?”

“Haa?”

“Why do I chant while I do magic?”

“That’s because you’re incompetent!”

“No, it’s not. That was just a fling.”

“What nonsense! Do you think you can lie to me, the smartest person in the world?”

“Look up.”

“Ah?”

Alan unconsciously looked up as I spoke. There, five long cannon barrels were aiming at Alan and the golem.

“Fire!!!”

“What? Aah!”

The five self-propelled artillery units floating in the sky open fired, and huge rounds over 15cm in diameter hit the Giant Golem and Alan below.

The steel plates kept the debris from scattering around them, but the shockwaves, roars, and earthquakes told the story of the tremendous force of this bombardment.

Perhaps all the residents in King’s Capital had noticed.

After the bombardment was over, I quickly erased the thick steel plates and tank units.

“What a destructive force…”

“This is definitely more than a class 5! If there was a Class 6 in this world, he would definitely have been the first one to be…”

“It was a weapon I had never seen before.”

“It’s a different dimension… what the h**l was that!”

“It was like a mythical holy weapon.”

Everyone was afraid of the power of modern weapons.

Well, of course.

No matter how much magic existed, it cannot match modern weapons, which were the culmination of advanced technology.

The man named Alan must have disappeared with the golem.

And as I was breathing that sigh of relief.

“Damn it! With the power I obtained by sacrificing my soul to the Demon King, I should have become stronger than a Class 5… But why you?”

“What?”

I heard Alan’s voice. But no matter where I looked, I couldn’t see him. The only thing you could see was a piece of stone from the Giant Golem that was shattered by the bombardment.

As I looked around, black smoke suddenly gathered in the middle of the arena to form one giant human form.

A being in such terrible shape that his whole body was rotting, he lamented loudly.

“My plan… the glorious future I had envisioned…”

“Don’t tell me… this guy’s Alan!”

No matter how you looked at it, it was not human. It’s as if I was looking at the Undead Nephilim that I exterminated the other day.

That’s what I was thinking.

“The Kingdom of Laodicea does not know my strength! They don’t know my greatness! They are fools, all fools! I don’t want this kingdom! If I don’t get the most beautiful woman and the most power, I’ll destroy everything and everyone.”

The being that seemed to be Alan muttered and summoned a demon.

“Go to the Royal Capital and kill every last fool who does not acknowledge that this Alan is the wisest and strongest king alive.”

After ordering, Alan grew wings and flew out of the arena and headed towards the royal palace. Countless demons quickly ran towards the royal palace.

The confused nobles and royalty and officials got up from their seats and came zipping over to the ground where I was.

“Haruto… Hauto!”

“Alice.”

Alice jumped on me. I patted her head gently. Then, King Bern started talking to me.

“Haruto Takatori-sama.”

“His Majesty the King Bern…”

“That man Alan crossed a line he shouldn’t have crossed.”

“A line that must not be crossed?”

“He sold his soul to the Demon Lord and gained immense power. This can’t be happening. This man Alan is no longer human. The source of conscience is the soul. Anything that abandons it is nothing more than the Devil. So he is like an Undead. No, he is more fearsome than the Undeads.”

“Fearsome than The Undead…”

”My country is far away from the Demon King’s domain, so the possibility of being exposed to the threat of demons and the Demon King is infinitely low, but I didn’t expect… that he had an insider’s connection with the Demon King.”

King Bern lamented, and suddenly people in knight’s orders in armor appeared. Then a familiar knight commander approached us.

“Your Majesty! Are you all right?”

“Yes, I’m fine. It’s more serious than that. I have to finish off this guy named Alan who sold his soul to the devil.”

“Is this Alan the man… I always thought it was suspicious, but it was such a terrible thing to do.”

“Earlier, I gave an order to one of the Lifeguards to arrest every last member of that man’s family. Now we just need to get that man, who has become a monster, to…”

His Majesty the King Bern bit his lip in frustration.

I guessed this was where I came in after all.

“Your Majesty, I will defeat Alan.”

“Takatori-sama… forgive me.”

“Don’t apologize, Your Majesty. I only want to fight to protect the people I care about.”

“… Those pure eyes and unwavering heart… Alice.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“He does look a lot like that person after all.”

“……”

At the mention of King Bern, Alice nodded modestly, her cheeks flushed red. But who was that person?

As I was questioning that, the Knight Commander spoke loudly to me.

“Ah, it’s you! The man who defeated the Undead Nephilim the other day!”

“!!”

Perhaps, I was caught?

“I’m sure of it! I clearly remember your face as you defeated the Undead Nephilim with overwhelming strength!”

“Are you sure about that, Sir Knight?”

“Yes! Yes, Your Majesty!”

King Bern gave me a meaningful look. I looked away for a bit and nodded.

“Haruto Takatori-sama.”

“Yes.”

“You told me you were going to take down a man named Alan, didn’t you?”

“Yes.”

“Then I must give you the power you deserve.”

“Power?”

King Bern then took off his golden ring and handed it to me.

“I ask you to be Secretary of Defense. And protect this country with your strength and intelligence. As frustrating as it is, there is no one in my country who can defeat the demonized Alan…”

“I, the Secretary of Defense?”

“I’ve been watching you. Didn’t you just show up and slay a powerful monster that was threatening the lives of my people?”

“… Yes.”

“That’s why I thought Haruto Takatori-sama was the right person for this role.”

“I’m not qualified…”

“Who else could it be but you, acknowledged by the Medici family?”

“……”

King Bern did not take a step back.

His intelligent face seemed to exude an aura that was hard to describe. In order to protect his country, he did not only think of self-preservation, but also had the audacity to make unprecedented proposals without any hesitation.

“I understand. I accept His Majesty King Bern’s proposal.”

[Alice’s side]

Haruto Takatori accepted the proposal of King Bern. The nobles and royalty around him were not opposed to the idea. They all praised Harusho’s strength and even the male nobles wanted to fight alongside him.

The position had been vacant for a long time since the death of Agnes’ husband, the 35th Secretary of Defense, and Haruto had taken over the baton.

The pleasure of seeing him being recognized by the king of his country, such a man who would be her lover… her husband.

Alice thought as she looked at Haruto surrounded by everyone.

I’m sure to marry him.

I’ll have his seeds.

And…

I will give him everything of me.

Alice looked wistfully at Haruto, her breath bouncing, her hands clutching her own stomach.

And she decided in secret in her heart.

I’ll be in servitude to Haruto.

Forever.

In that moment Alice’s eyes were,

The glow was gone, as the primal instinct to take Haruto into the crucible of her own desires dwelled in her.
