4 – For Honor

The Demon Lord looks at me and makes a sad expression

Seeing her like this, I let out a deep sigh of relief.

‘Fortunately, it seems to have worked to some extent, I certainly did a good job of telling the story with as much emotion as possible.’

Stories about being stabbed in the back by heroines as a hero.

Even though I wasn’t really the person involved, the feelings that followed were never false nonetheless.

As a victim of NTR games, the feelings of anger and irritation that inevitably form in the heart.

Even that, as it happened as a result of my friend’s ‘betrayal’, not because I wanted to do it, I extract the maximum amount of this unpleasant feeling in my heart and pour it into a heartfelt lamentation to the demon king in front of me. was

And, whether my ‘sincerity’ was conveyed well, the demon king began to look at me with compassionate eyes unlike before, and I began to feel hope that if I did a little more, I could save my life.

“Listening to what you said, I feel sorry for Jim as well. If that effort turns out to be betrayal, Jim will have no choice but to despair like that..”

“… Thank you for saying that.”

The Demon King, who brings out the words of sympathy with bitterness.

Then she reached, looking straight into my face.

“In that regard… I would like to show you mercy as a warrior, but what do you think?”

“!…”

The demon lord speaks to me with a voice that feels generous.

As I listened to these words, I began to feel the emotions of joy popping up on my face for a moment.

I was hasty here for no reason. I can’t blow away all the efforts I’ve made so far.

So, I exercised as much patience as I could and managed my expression.

Looking at the Demon King in front of her eyes, she smiled weakly and said with a voice that still felt the emotion of despair.

“..haha.. be merciful. Demon lord, you are much more generous than I’ve heard. But mercy to me who once raised the sword to kill you…”

“Even though we have different backgrounds of demons and humans, you and I are both warriors wielding swords before becoming heroes and demon kings. Protecting our honor on the last path is something we can do enough for.”

‘… .Eh?’

The next moment, the demon king said that something was going in a strange direction.

At this moment, a deep embarrassment began to appear on my face.

Towards me, the Demon King spoke in a bittersweet voice.

“I will give you a peaceful and honorable death as you wish. After a respectful burial, the body will be returned to its hometown.”

The demon lord started to tell a completely different story from what I thought.

Confused by this unexpected situation, I hurriedly began to shake my head again.

‘Such a f*cking f*ck.

After her, I was thinking of trying something else, probably because it was torture, but it seemed that she had decided to quietly send me to the nether as it is while listening to my heartbreaking story.

It is true that the situation has improved, but my purpose was, of course, not something ostentatious like an honorable death.

‘Even if you roll in dog poop, this life is better. I can’t go after it like this!’

But even so, if you start begging for help here, your evaluation will fall into abyss again, and you may take the worst-of-worst route of torture and then execution as planned.

In order to survive in this situation, he had to satisfy the extremely difficult condition of persuading her while maintaining the appearance of a proud warrior as much as possible.

‘But I can’t give up like this. How much time I’ve accumulated through the game so far, but somehow I have to overcome this crisis with my brain..’

As it is a real life-and-death matter, it is a situation where you have to literally risk your life to convince her in front of you.

At this, I turned my thoughts around with the feeling that I would overheat, and I spoke to the demon king in front of me as quickly as possible and in a voice that did not harm the gloomy atmosphere so that it would not be too late.

“Thank you so much for being so considerate. Certainly, for a warrior, an honorable death is more precious than anything else.”

“Yes, if you do, tell your subordinates right away to give you a medicine that will allow you to die painlessly…” ”

“But… despite all the consideration, I don’t think my name will remain very honorable.”

“Uh… why?”

My words of deep despair, at this, the demon king’s face began to look suspicious…

Looking at her like that, I answered in a voice full of sadness and despair.

“The fellow warriors who fled, leaving me behind.. They will probably cut me down without hesitation in front of the lords of the tribal union who supported us. Even if it’s to cover up the dirty trick they conspired with the porter…”

“No matter how much it is, do you think they have no respect for the warriors who died trying to protect them?”

“These are the ones who tried to take advantage of me even when I was alive. After he is already dead, of course there is nothing to say.”

“…”

The demon king, who seemed to be speechless at my words that he could not refute.

Looking at her like that, I started to shake my mouth as I made an expression full of emptiness as much as possible.

“From the moment they abandoned me in the first place, everything was over. If I had won, they would have abandoned me resolutely in some way to take it away, and if I had failed, to make up for the failure. There was already no room for salvation in any way for me.”

“… .”

As he listened to my words, the demon lord began to show more compassion than before.

Facing her like that, I carefully started spilling rice cakes on her slowly.

“If I die like this, I will be left with a foolish man who recklessly attacked the demon king and endangered his comrades. I tried so hard to remain as a hero, but my honor as a human being has already been shattered.”

“ha.… ”

The demon lord let out a heavy sigh at my words and started thinking about something seriously.

Seeing her like this, I felt a burning sensation in my stomach and began to pray earnestly that she would bite the food well.

As a warrior, honor was more important than life.

It is absolutely unacceptable to face a dirty death without losing it.

Since it is a rule for true warriors to endure even a moment of humiliation to protect their honor, it could be said that I was implicitly implying to her that I could not die like this.

and..

As if you understood my meaning,

Soon, the demon king looked at me and spoke in a serious yet serious voice.

“It’s a pity, warrior… that a strong person like you ended up in such a miserable situation…”

Her words made me feel deeply saddened.

As soon as I heard this, I recognized that she had bitten the bait and spoke to her with the utmost despair.

“… what shall i do This is all my destiny… I wish I had the chance to change it, but there’s no way such good things will happen to me..”

Of course it could happen.

No, it had to happen.

Because I was expecting that in the first place and was doing this.

“… Opportunity… does that mean… if another opportunity comes in front of you, would you seize it?”

‘come!’

For a moment, the devil’s words sounded like an angel’s voice.

Regarding this, I started to feel a lot of excitement, but I did my best to keep a poker face and spoke with the bitterest possible voice.

“..haha.. well.. well.. if there is something more I can do… Yes. I would like to try it at least once. Until now, I… have lived a very foolish and meaningless life.”

I’m blowing lines of regret that I’ve heard many times before.

However, in this resigned line, ‘I will do anything for the sake of honor, so please save me!’ It contained the meaning of

And about this…

The demon king began to nod slowly as if he had made up his mind on something.

And right after that, the words that came out of her mouth…

“I’m sorry..”

‘Hey… Sister?!?’
