Chapter 480 – 137. The One Who Saves the Royal Knight (3)
“You are His Majesty’s real son… “
Krienne looked at me in disbelief.
The reaction of the other demon knights was the same.
“His Majesty Lucifer did not take a queen! His flesh and blood do not exist anywhere. Even after he disappeared, we… Still waiting for His Majesty… “
One article was right.
My father is my mother He never loved any woman except Agnes.
Even during Riel’s days, he was famous for being a genius bard and very handsome.
His father rejected the courtship of countless women and only sincerely loved her mother.
‘It’s the complete opposite of me… ‘
Perhaps, even in the Demon Kingdom, my father was the same. He seems the seed did not carry on.
“But that person can be seen by anyone, His Majesty Lucifer… No, he’s in human form, but… Aren’t they so much alike!”
“But he… No, that person said that he was the heir to that Marquis Wilhelm. He is the successor of the Grand Duke of Lion, infamous for that great war!”
“Then… You mean our enemy, the human!”
Everyone was agitated. It’s something I can’t easily understand. It was a natural reaction.
And because I look so much like my biological father. They were not in a hurry.
My appearance is perfect human. And all the people with me are human.
‘Cecilia is also disguised as a human.’
As such, the suspicions of those Demon Knights grew even higher.
But their lieutenant. Krienne raised a hand to calm the commotion.
“Forgive me for the rudeness. But, as you know. We have had a great war with Reinhardt’s Midnight Sun. Although less hostile than the savage men of the South. Please understand that we cannot easily welcome humans.”
“I know. I think we need to talk for a while.”
Chloe and Rosette, quick-witted, hurriedly set up a temporary barracks.
Although it was a barracks made of earth. The level of production was so high that the Demon Knights were surprised.
“Let’s go in and talk.”
Krienne and his lieutenants. And me and Lucia joined in a brief conversation.
The rest of the party waited in another room in the barracks.
In silence for a while. Eirin served tea to the four of you.
“Excellent… It’s a car.”
Ei-Lin said she brought some mincho tea leaves before leaving the Demon Kingdom.
Even though it was summer, Krienne and his lieutenant were shivering in the rain for a long time.
As I drank the hot tea, I felt that my vigilance had softened a little.
“Then we will finish talking about things that we have not been able to do outside.”
“All right. Then you should introduce me. I am the Royal Knight of the Demon King’s direct unit. Among them, I am Krien, who leads a special warfare unit called the Cold Shield.”
I looked at the two of them.
And nodded.
“Nice to meet you. And as I already said a moment ago. Marquess of Essenmund. The sole heir of Archduke Wilhelm. And I am Julian von Reinhardt, the real son of Lucifer, the ruthless demon lord.”
At those words, Krienne was silent for a moment. Reinhardt seemed to be chewing on the words.
“That means… Are you saying that the cold-blooded demon king had a relationship with Saint Agnes?”
Saint Agnes was the only daughter of Archduke Wilhelm. Given her age, it was natural for her to think of me as her mother’s son.
“Yeah. That’s right.”
The look on their faces at those words is so hard to explain in words.
He changed into a troubled expression.
It seems that it is beyond the level that can be understood by their common sense.
“How did His Majesty go with that saintess… No, when did that happen… “
At the adjutant’s words, Krienne raised her voice as if something came to mind.
“Come to think of it, right before the great war broke out. Your Majesty has disappeared for a long time. It was something that wasn’t disclosed to the Demon Kingdom. You guys probably don’t know either. At that time, His Majesty had left the Demon Kingdom for nearly a year, leaving only his closest aides the word that he would personally spy on enemy camps.”
At that, the adjutant made a surprised expression.
Perhaps in the Demon Kingdom. The fact that my father was active as the minstrel Riel. It seems completely unknown.
‘Spying on enemy lines. I’m sure you’re not wrong.’
Perhaps, my father wanted to experience firsthand the humans who would soon have to fight a great war.
But even though he met his fateful partner named Agnes there.
The great war could not be stopped.
After all, the evil relationship between the Empire and the Demon Kingdom. In particular, it must have been because of the terrible bad relationship between Southern Caceres and the Demon Kingdom.
Silence continued between the two.
But soon the silence is broken. Krienne said to me.
“I believe. The words that Prince Yulian is our master’s son.”
At those words, the adjutant’s eyes suddenly changed.
***
And the lieutenant said
“Captain Krien? How at once… “
Said the adjutant, perplexed. It was a natural reaction.
Empire. And unlike Essenmund. Because there is no way to prove my words here.
Even the aura I used.
It was the technology of the Reinhardt family, completely unrelated to his father, who was the Demon King.
But Krienne didn’t care about the adjutant’s reaction. He looked at me
“Your current appearance is a complete human being. And although using human technology. I feel it instinctively. The fear of you.”
“Fear… You mean the master, Captain Krien? Of course, that person’s performance was really great, but… Still… “
“No, that’s for sure. You can feel the very thick magic from him.”
The adjutant also said with a puzzled look. And inside I was surprised again.
‘I deliberately hid Margie thoroughly. I noticed though. After all, the realm of a master is different.’
That Krienne is an extraordinary swordsman. I was able to find out on the battlefield a little while ago.
‘No way. The way you noticed my magic… ‘
That’s why I deliberately hid my demonic energy. Still, he noticed.
Creen said.
“My lieutenant is not incompetent either, but… Still, you probably didn’t immediately notice the demonic energy you felt from you.”
“What if it’s Magi? What happened? I didn’t feel anything.”
“Perhaps you don’t know. I know because I brought him by His Majesty’s side. That it is the dominance of that demon.”
And Krienne looked at me.
“Surprisingly, the way you use that demonic dominion is the same as His Majesty. True domination must be at a level that those who are ruled cannot even feel it. Perhaps, if I move a full-fledged demon, even I will be swallowed up by that power.”
“Then… “
The adjutant was startled and could not speak.
That meant that even that master named Krien acknowledged me.
And at the same time, Krienne said with an expression full of emotion.
“We Royal Knights have been waiting for the return of our master for a long time. The missing Majesty has not been officially recognized as dead. We also did not believe in His Majesty’s death. No, I couldn’t.”
The loyalty of the Royal Knights had already entered through Remiella.
Their loyalty was beyond imagination.
When you mistook me for my real father, Lucifer. Because I saw tears of emotion filling their eyes.
I said.
“I have to tell you that. My parents are He sealed the fifth Keiatic Gate and died together.”
At those words, the two of them looked sad.
“As expected. Because His Majesty has always been a free person. Even though he disappeared like that, we believed that he would come back one day. I wanted to believe that.”
Two knights who were not afraid even in the face of death. Their eyes turned red.
But they saw me at the same time. I didn’t even know I was seeing Lucifer’s vision in my face.
“But it must be His Majesty’s arrangement that you appeared to us like this. Like that… I want to believe that.”
He wasn’t wrong.
Although my real father, Demon King Lucifer, could not be killed even by the apostles of the Keiatic Gate.
Mother’s future predictions.
To prevent the end of her future that the mother saw. Because the two of them sacrificed their lives to delay the end of time.
Like this, until I can grow up.
I responded to the gaze of the two.
“That’s right. The reason I came this far was because of my parents’ arrangements. And as a person who has inherited the will of my parents as it is. Because I came to the Demon Kingdom.”
They were silent And I’m towards two people. I said my true feelings.
“I visited the Demon Kingdom as an envoy from the Empire. Southern Cáceres County. And the Apostle of the Keiatic Gate is an unstoppable enemy without the cooperation of the two countries.”
“Special envoy… “
It was a surprised look. Still, Krienne did not question my words.
“That’s your… No, if it’s His Highness Julian’s will, I’ll follow it. Our lord will always be His Majesty Lucifer. If, by any chance, the Red Dragon, Ustina, objected. We will raise our swords for Your Highness.”
Name has been changed
It means officially recognizing me as my father’s son.
And the knight raises his sword. Only for the lord
“However, I am an imperial citizen. And as Reinhardt’s successor, that’s just what I had to do. I must tell you the real thing I intend to do.”
I put Siertia on the desk and said.
“I plan to become the new demon king of the demon kingdom. Father’s name. I will carry on that cold-blooded name.”
Red Dragon Ustina. She is a dragon with extremely high pride for the demons and the current demon king.
But as for her. In this era that is heading towards the foretold destruction. I can’t protect the Demon Kingdom.
I’ve already made all my commitments.
‘Only me. I’ll be able to save the Empire and the Demon Kingdom from destruction.’
The two confirmed that my expression was sincere.
The two of them got down on one knee on the floor at the same time.
And set the example of a servant.
“My lord!”
“My lord!”
I am a unit under my father’s direct command. I obtained the cooperation of that cold shield.
And after I’ve completed their apprenticeship.
He set up a strategy to save Remiella’s main unit.
***
“Yet… This canyon is like hell.”
Early the next morning. It still rained heavily and it was dark as midnight.
Krien’s unit, the Cold Shield, retreated safely.
Royal Knights gathered in the gorge. And the great forces of the Demon Kingdom were still in chaos.
“How about contact with Remiella?”
“I got in touch with Remiel through the spirit. However, right now, the morale of the knights and soldiers is extremely low, and it is said that it is not easy to retreat, let alone counterattack.”
I expected it. It was also the worst.
It seems that even my mother did not anticipate the variable of the old dragon being resurrected as a monster.
Perhaps the Apostle of the West. As much as Lamiar was relatively weak.
In our current reality, the East Keithic Gate. It seems that Plutia’s apostle has become strong enough to turn an old dragon into a demon beast.
‘So, by all means. We have to save the Royal Knights.’
It was a different level from saving the cold shield of hundreds of people.
But I had a hunch. That this is the first thing I need to do to become a true Demon King.
“Krien. Deliver it to Remiella’s headquarters. The return of Demon King Lucifer.”
“That, that word… “
“Right now, the priority is to raise the morale of the Royal Knights and the Demon King Army, whose morale is extremely low. Let me tell you that.”
“All right! I will tell you that in my name. Then, Your Highness… “
I showed through actions instead of words.
At that moment, my body shone with a jet-black flash.
“My lord… A huge magic… “
Krienne’s voice was filled with emotion.
Oh oh oh oh-
I released the true form of the Demon Dragon.
And canyons mangled by storms. Soared into the void
Soon, a large number of demons began to surround me.
