Chapter 154 – Chapter 154. The Shocking Truth (Beware of Mental Breakdown)
No matter how dangerous they were due to the rebels along with the Demon King’s army, to choose a fortress heading to the Demon King’s territory as a place to escape.
Anyone would consider it crazy, but that’s why it’s a bold enough operation to be considered optimal for deceiving the public eye.
I also didn’t expect him to act as the commander of this fortress… No, there wasn’t much to notice.
Even though Darkan had a mission to protect him right now, he did not hesitate to follow the fortress heading to the faraway place called Demon King’s Territory.
“It happened a long time ago.”
Anyway, Archen, who explained the circumstances in that way, stood next to me and stared at the sea, preparing to change the topic.
As before, in a very relaxed manner.
As if he were convinced that the fortress he was in was the best place to hide.
“When I was young, I learned a lot about managing the country from my father, the previous king. To the person who pushed out his uncle, the previous head of the Anti-Human Alliance, through scheming, and then did all sorts of despicable things to correct public sentiment.”
It was a story that I had heard many times before.
The fact that many people were instigated by the previous king’s actions to consolidate his position, and the fact that minorities were harmed by such profiteering was buried without a rumor.
“At the time, I thought it was right.”
Yes, the current Human Union is a force built on the blood shed on such politics.
Among them was my mother.
The person next to me was the one who inherited the blood of the person who did such a joke.
“I learned that way, and people around me said it was right. My father’s orders were everything to me when I was young, so I, who followed his teachings, would have had to do all sorts of dirty things without hesitation in order to maintain my authority.”
And now there is no one around.
As long as even Darkan fell asleep exhausted from his actions so far, it wouldn’t matter what to do with this guy if I made up my mind.
Even if it was in the middle of enemy territory, it would be possible to entrust oneself to hatred and prepare for friendship.
“It was none other than my wife who changed the way I had to go.”
Even so, the reason I didn’t stretch out my magic hand toward him was because I already knew that my existence wasn’t just for me.
Because there were many things I had to protect to devote my body madly to revenge.
Just like the man in front of me, I realized that I am a person who can be loved by someone.
“… By wife, do you mean Celeste, the saint of the church?”
Recalling that situation and trying to accept the conversation, Archen smiled and nodded her head.
“Yes, he was the companion that his ancestors made directly in order to deepen friendly relations with the church that supported him. But even though it was an arranged marriage, we loved each other sincerely.”
An emotion that can be called profoundness that is gradually drawn into the eyes staring at the horizon.
It soon began to sink from the sky to the bottom of the water, as if soaked in the nostalgia of the past.
“She always said Although the beginning of the church was for the gods, it has now become a means for humans. Since everything has changed centering on humans, even the claims made by the church have no choice but to act based on selfishness, not a great cause.”
“… This is a saintly opinion.”
Anyway, if you are a saint, no matter how much you try to use it for political purposes, you won’t be able to do anything about your noble mind.
A sacred and inviolable realm where not only the body but also the mind cannot be controlled under the protection of the gods.
As a result, her eyes, which have not reached the hands of those in power and wealth, will be able to discern the world more purely and transparently than anything else.
“Yes, her innocence made me realize a lot. Because through that teaching, she was able to escape from the shadow of the previous king.”
It’s just that he can’t take the lead due to his position as an idol that draws people’s attention.
Therefore, even if her eyes to see the world were deep, her only limit was to wait and see, but that is why her meeting with the man in front of her must have been considered lucky.
Because of her cult’s ambition to be united with the main pillar of her human unity, she had the opportunity to teach the man destined to move her world the rightness she had seen with her own eyes.
“After that, she just endured it. I have endured the mouth-watering words of my vassals who want to solidify my position in the halo of my father, and I have hidden my true feelings until the day I succeed to the throne.”
Wasn’t it a bluff to walk a different path from the previous generation?
Certainly, at the point of coming this far, it would be difficult to see that statement as a lie.
Moving a fort this size isn’t just for the purpose of going back and forth.
Obviously, one of the plans he is making is to enter the Demon King’s Territory under the pretext of evacuating from this rebellion and to do something in it.
“You can understand right away just because I am here. How seriously I made her offer to you, and how sincere her heart was towards her who made her come here.”
That plan is going smoothly at this moment.
Although the fact that the heart shaped by my love made him make a decision to the point of stepping into a limb himself might be accepted with pleasure.
“… However, despite my wishes, the reality turned out to be not good.”
His smile as he stared at the sea was gradually gaining more weight as if he were sinking deeper beneath it.
The reason could be guessed right away.
He was the only one who came here in the middle of a rebellion, and there was no trace of the companion he mentioned before.
“Saint… Has something bad happened to the queen?”
Saint Celeste.
The current queen of the Argentinian family will still remain in the kingdom.
“Should I say it’s not good… Haha, if you look at it from the beginning, you can say it’s my fault.”
Archen is still enjoying the sea breeze with her back leaning against the railing with a relaxed attitude.
After that, he looked up at the sky and began to sink into retrospect again.
“When I went through her succession ceremony and became her king… It’s the story of her day when she and her first exchanged things. That day was probably the most tense moment of my life. I only heard about it for education, and before I came of age, I lived a frugal life because I kept away from women.”
There was nothing I couldn’t understand.
I have a lot of experience now, but even for me, the first experience was very awkward.
How much more, isn’t the other person a being called the saint of the church?
In a sense, a body that can be said to be nobler and purer than that of a virgin. If you can monopolize the nakedness of such a person, no one will be able to overcome the excitement.
“The tension was so great that I ended up ejaculating before I even got into the act, and the first night was a blur. As much as she had high expectations, she couldn’t avoid being neglected after that day.”
A smile drawn on the lips along with a whooping laugh.
The words that followed were as light as that laugh.
“And when she later quietly went to her bedroom to reconnect, she inadvertently found her having sex with my sister.”
Yes, in a really casual manner.
“… What?”
“She said she saw her making out with my brother. It was so clear that I could vividly recall what she said at that time.”
Even though she looked back at her blank face, Archen continued talking casually.
It was a vulgar remark that I would never have thought a leader would say, but that kind of dignity was just fine now.
“At the time, I was shocked in many ways. She, who had always shown only a shy and friendly side to me, was smiling so brightly on top of my sister’s waist while shouting so much.”
“Anyway, the smile you gave me was just a consideration.”
“…Uh.”
“When I saw her who truly found her happiness, I realized one truth. Faith, justice, and love… In the end, in the face of my sister’s gigantic objects and inexhaustible technology, they are useless. .”
“Oh, um…”
On the other hand, I just stared at her resolute figure, which could even be considered liberated, without saying a word.
Come to think of it, among the information I collected before stepping into the human realm, there was news that the queen was pregnant… Oh my goodness.
“And what was awkward the first night, went off the rails after my brother and I had sex. Now she’s turned into a pawn for a church that disapproves of me in order to make my brother king. Haha!”
I guess I was wrong.
This guy is far more cornered than I thought…
Yeah, maybe I’m going through a much darker life than I am in real time.
“… That, you guys are having a lot of trouble too.”
Still, there was a position, so even if it was consolation, some words were spit out, but he shrugged my shoulders as if accepting it as if it was not a big deal.
“To the point of suffering? Rather, I am excited and even relieved that she has left her heart.”
“Oh yeah. Glad then… What?”
For a while, trying to sympathize with him, who pretended nothing was wrong.
The moment I heard the words that followed, I involuntarily looked at him with a dazed expression.
Damn, what did this bastard just say?
Excitement?
You say your wife is relieved of having an affair?
“To think that my woman left me to play with another man… Huhu, just imagining it doesn’t make her heart swell?”
Archen repeatedly emphasizes that it is not a misunderstanding.
He leaned against the railing with his legs crossed, as if he was trying to hide something between them.
I could pretend I didn’t see it and move on…
“… Wait, can I ask you something?”
Damn, I just can’t get over this.
It’s a problem related to none other than her, but how can I go past this?
“You can ask me anything. I will answer anything within my ability to answer.”
“You know what Verdia, Darkan and I did, right?”
“Yeah, I’m glad you had a good time.”
“… About him, what did you think?”
“We are both happy to be true to each other’s hearts.”
Argen Alencia speaks in a heavy voice as if lifting me up again, who wants to deny reality.
His eyes staring at me were very bright.
“Seriously, I mean.”
It teaches you to be true to your own heart.
The eyes that even feel that kind of madness.
