Divinity Academy’s Crazy Demon Lord’s Son 599

Chapter 599 – Side Story 2. The Loneliness of Female Knights (2)

One day in April.

As usual, I was burdened with heavy work and left the capital, Riel.

There was still a lot of work to be done.

Still, there was something I couldn’t put off, so I had to move.

‘The South… And Inferno.’

Keatic Gate Inferno that existed in the south.

Based on the pure magical soul power of the gate, the Gate of Doom created in the northern permafrost or the Old Imperial Capital was large in scale.

The inferno was the gate that conceived Duke Pedro, the apostle of chaos.

Because of Duke Pedro, the southern part of the empire was devastated to the point where the entire territory was turned into a nest.

Its influence not only affected the people of the southern empire, but also the people of the southern part of the Demon Kingdom.

‘The southern part of the Demon Kingdom borders Caceres in the southern part of the empire.’

Therefore, due to the demonic spirit power remaining in the south, not all demons have disappeared yet.

However, we cannot leave the southern land as is.

That place is famous for being the most fertile farmland in Iceland.

As it was a granary area, restoration was essential.

Of course, even if it is restored, it is still imperial land.

According to an agreement with the empire, part of Caceres territory was scheduled to be newly built as a neutral city.

‘That city will become the center of southern trade.’

Above all, it was necessary to build a new port city in the south.

With the disappearance of the Keatic Gate, exchanges with this continent will begin.

Iceland had to prepare for a new encounter with the foreigners.

‘We have already confirmed reports that several immigrants have appeared in Iceland.’

Of course, it wasn’t something that could be completed overnight.

Still, as the Demon King, I needed to personally understand the current situation in the south.

‘I barely found time in my busy schedule.’

Officially, it would have been okay to head south.

As I plan to stop by the southern territory that was once part of the empire.

It was not easy to visit this place with the official position of the devil.

So I came here without announcing my visit.

“Greetings to Your Majesty!”

And I met my knights at a small estate in Caceres.

Uriel took on the role of senior knight and finished saluting the monarch towards me.

At the small inn where I was staying, I smiled and said to the girls.

“I didn’t come here officially. There is no need to be too strict with manners. Rest comfortably.”

With those words, Yuriel ordered the two to rest.

Lucia and Charlotte also finished saluting and looked at me in a comfortable position.

“Did anything happen to you, Your Majesty?”

And Lucia, who was watching me quietly from behind, spoke urgently to me.

“I’m fine. All three must have gone through a lot of hardships after being dispatched to this rough terrain. Thank you all.”

All three people looked embarrassed at those words.

“Nothing special.”

Uriel hurriedly responded to my encouragement with a stiff posture.

Looking at her appearance, it seemed that Uriel had not changed much from before.

In Essenmund, she was famous for her swordsmanship skills and appearance.
She is a knight of the midnight sun who is always strict with herself and others.

Luciana is similar, but a little softer. She had a different appearance from Charlotte, who had a round personality that was not typical of a knight.

‘It’s the same article, but all three have their own personalities.’

And I knew that those three got along very well.

Even so, Uriel and Charlotte were the same Knights of the Midnight Sun to begin with.

Among the lovers in my harem, Lucia, who is quite shy, is friendly with them.

I was always grateful to these two people.

‘That’s why I trusted the three people and sent them here.’

Although it is a knight of the midnight sun.

At the same time, they were my lovers, so they were the ones I could trust more than anyone else.

But I felt sorry for them.

‘Compared to other lovers, I wasn’t able to take care of the three of them as much.’

They too were always busy fighting on the front lines.

Yuriel worked hard as my escort during my days as a bastard. And so did Charlotte, who became my late lover.

Lucia also participated in numerous battles as the incarnation of Yunir.

So for me.

The main reason was that I wanted to check the situation in the south for myself.

To some extent, the reason for this visit was that I wanted to spend time with those three people.

‘I can’t say that purpose out loud.’

All three are noble knights of the midnight sun.

Therefore, if I openly show my favor as a lover, they may feel embarrassed and reject me.

‘I don’t know if it’s Charlotte.’

Thinking in my head about how to make time for them naturally, I listened to reports of what had happened in the south.

***

Night has come.

There are quite a few things that have happened in the Southern Demon King’s Army.

The report also took quite a long time.

After all the reporting was over, it was already late at night.

Still, I completed all my schedule like that.

The three of me and I were able to have a simple dinner party late at night.

“I don’t have enough food, but I hope you enjoy it.”

“Oh, no! Enough! Rather, it is food that His Majesty would eat, but the situation here is not enough…”

Since it wasn’t an official schedule, I couldn’t even rent the permanent residence.

‘I deliberately did not call other commanders and officials in the area.’

Since the southern part was devastated to begin with, the situation is worse than other parts of the empire.

I rented the largest room at the first inn I visited and had dinner with them.

Four people filled their stomachs with such simple bread and meat.

Since everyone was full, the tension eased somewhat.

Charlotte, who is at her own pace, is already smiling brightly.

Uriel, who always had a stern expression, naturally began to mix things up.

And Lucia was looking at me, unable to take her eyes off me even for a moment.

There is no one among my lovers who don’t like me.

In particular, Lucia is a pure fan.

She was the type of person who didn’t even notice anything else other than looking at me. It wasn’t surprising.

“I guess I can put away the dishes now.”

“We will clean it up!”

The three people moved urgently.

“There aren’t many anyway. Let’s clean it up together.”

As I moved along, the three people looked regretful.

As expected, those three are just lovers to me.

I couldn’t help but be aware of my current status in Iceland.

‘I guess I’m lucky that I don’t even have godhood.’

Later on, that deity too.

If my religion of worshiping the God of New Dawn spreads, I will get it back.

Nevertheless, I came to spend a more comfortable time with the three of us than now.

“Did you invite the three of us to relax? “I hope you don’t act so rigidly.”

After saying that, I took out a drink that I had prepared.

Lucia recognized the drink and said.

“That red liquor…”

“You recognize Lucia. “It’s a specialty of the territory called Luthier near the Imperial Capital.”

Pantheon era.

A territory called Luthier, where Chloe and I headed to a reserve platoon mission.

It was the red fruit wine that was the specialty of that place.

‘It tastes good and is good for energy, but it’s stronger than you think.’

In many ways, Chloe was also impressed by the taste.

It was a special liquor that became popular throughout Iceland through the distribution network of the Aitern Chamber of Commerce after the end of the Holy War.

“I know it’s a rare drink. “It was considered a very expensive drink even at the secret gambling house where I once worked.”

During her time at Pantheon, Lucia worked as a security guard at a secret gambling house in an entertainment district to pay for tuition and Cecilia’s medicine.

After hearing that, Charlotte clapped her hands.

“I think I’ve heard that before! “It’s a very rare drink…”

“It seems you know. And the alcohol I brought is a special alcohol that was presented to me directly from the Luthier estate, so it will be quite delicious.”

It used to be a local specialty, but has now become famous on a continental scale.

The lord of the place had built a large-scale brewery and seemed to be absorbed in the business.

“It’s a special liquor that only comes out once in a thousand bottles. It would be nice to look forward to it.”

“Wow… I’m really looking forward to it. “What does it taste like?”

Charlotte’s eyes sparkled.
As expected, as the atmosphere relaxed, my usual personality seemed to come out.

I lightly gave each of them a glass of fruit wine.

“It’s delicious…”

Lucia sipped from the glass and left an honest impression.

“It’s good to swallow.”

Yuriel also said that. Charlotte drank it like a drink.

“Wow… I only drink Essenmund’s strong liquor, but now that I drink fruit liquor with such an enchanting taste… My tongue can’t stand it. Hehe.”

And the moment I drank alcohol.

She felt the mana moving in the bodies of all three people.

Originally, awakened people with good skills can use the circulation of mana to get rid of drunkenness.

Since it was in front of me, the lord, the three didn’t seem to want to make the slightest mistake.

“There is no need to force yourself to get drunk. It’s a private place. “There’s no reason for me to say anything just because you look a little disheveled.”

“Well… But in front of His Majesty…”

“It makes me uncomfortable if it’s that stiff. I, too, will drink without feeling drunk. You guys… No, I hope you guys can drink comfortably too.”

At those words, the three people looked at each other.

Then, Charlotte was the first to raise her glass.

“After all, she’s a woman from Essenmund, so she’s a strong drinker! Then let’s run with all our hearts!”

As expected, Charlotte relieved her mood first.

With those words, the real drinking party began.
