Chapter 305 – #Epilogue Two Later Stories, Empress Mine and Chris (1)

…
After the resurrection of the demon king, more than a year has already passed.
It’s only been a year, but in the meantime, a lot happened in the Romancia Empire.
A change that could be called a cataclysm.
Among them, the biggest events would be 『Princess Mine’s enthronement as emperor』 And 『Establishment of the Demon State』.
One is Princess Mine… No ‘Empress Mine’‘S story.
This was expected by many people to some extent, but it caused a big stir in that it was done far ahead of expectations.
It was expected that Emperor Kalik would still be corrected, and even if he couldn’t, he would rule for another 20 years.
However, the timing was advanced to a tremendous extent, and before the year passed, Emperor Kalik himself declared about the succession of the throne, and at the beginning of the year, an enthronement ceremony was held immediately.
This was not due to an unsavory event such as death or accident, but was a case that went through a normal hereditary succession process, so it was fast enough that there was no comparison.
However, everyone in the empire was aware of the debauchery and foolishness of Emperor Kalik, and there was no complaint because everyone knew the majesty of Princess Mine, who had been making various achievements since her young age.
Far from complaining, it was such good news that everyone came out to the streets with joy and threw flowers.
This is not simply because of the contrast between Emperor Kalik’s incompetence and Princess Mine’s competence, but also because she thoroughly prepared herself so that no problem would arise even if she usurped the throne at any time.
In the end, the result like now means that Princess Mine was the result of her hard work, so Princess Mine should be proud.
And another incident, the story about the ‘Evil tribe’, also heated up for a while.
What Princess Mine proclaimed upon her ascension was to recognize her [Democratic Autonomous State] And establish their country in a part of the Marquis of Ras territory.
Currently, the migration work is underway, and the country has not yet started properly, but it was declared along with the news of the 『Resurrection of the 【Devil King】」, And it seemed like it would cause a great stir in the empire.
However, unexpectedly.
The news, which should have been the same as the Cheongcheon troops, unexpectedly did not cause much confusion among the people of the empire.
That would also be the case, because the demons had been driven away in the wilderness for hundreds of years, so they had no chance to contact them.
The fact that they were fearful beings only came from an old story, but not many people really believed that it was true.
Of course, there could have been complaints about handing over part of their land to them, but they were promised a reasonable reward, and above all, the fact that the territories that had their living quarters taken away did not express their dissatisfaction as if they were satisfied No one complained anymore.
The existence of Marquis Charlotte Lass, the lord who is currently very popular in the manor, also played a part in eliminating such dissatisfaction.
Even the mean-spirited people who are dissatisfied with everything about her, for some reason, after hearing her speech once, they immediately pledge their allegiance to her and support her like her fanatics… As expected, there was no corner to complain about.
Besides that, everything.
Even among the aristocrats, public opinion is bizarrely friendly, and she has deep trust in the newly crowned Empress Miné and follows her will.
Therefore, it is expected that things such as the founding of the [New Demon Tribe] Will continue to proceed smoothly.
… Of course, homework still remains.
Even if the imperial people put it second, it is still unknown whether the surrounding countries will accept this existence or not.
A particularly great threat is the [Sacred nation of Al-Herzam], Which harbors great hostility toward the existence of demons.
Of course, that hostility is also directed towards this [Romancia Empire] That has accepted the demons.
In a situation where there is a possibility of a war with the name 『Divine Punishment』, How to deal with it depends on the diplomatic skills of Empress Mine who ascended the throne.
But maybe it’s okay if it’s her.
She is a very intelligent and capable woman, and above all, a very good helper is with her.
Since she is a superhuman genius who is already preparing her response to the enormous scenarios and possible troubles that will last 30 years from now, the empire she rules will be peaceful forever. .
Obviously, it will…

An imperial castle located in the capital of the Romancia Empire.
In the hall of the imperial castle, where the interior and most of the facilities have been transformed with a different feeling from the time of Emperor Kalik, a number of nobles gather to chat and enjoy delicacies.
A party in the imperial castle.
In this hall, about two years ago, in the middle of a grand banquet, a demon and a beast made of bones appeared and a great tragedy occurred.
Many valuable talents have died, and this hall is half destroyed.
At the end, the imperial castle was almost blown away by a monster in the form of a huge dragon, but the saints were able to survive thanks to Emilia, who happened to be attending the party at the time, defeating the dragon.
The work of that day is new『The Legend of the Hero』As a result, it was deeply engraved and imprinted on people.
Anyway.
After that, after a long repair work, it was completed with a stronger and more luxurious feeling than before.
The party this time was to celebrate the completion of the repair work on the castle, and it also served as the commemoration of Mine’s enthronement as emperor, which had been postponed.
“My Lady, I salute you. My name is Hare Kent of the Kent Baron.”
“This is the film Luomen of the Marquis Ruomen family. With the grace of the empress the other day, like this——”
“My name is Jack Dionasor, the son of Viscount Dionasor. The coronation ceremony will be held next year——”
And.
Numerous young nobles gathered around Empress Mine, who became the center of all topics and the most important person in this country.
Including these young nobles, there were numerous young nobles in the banquet hall currently having a party.
About two years since the tragedy of the past.
The hole created by the tragedy at that time was fully filled after two years.
In addition, there were many talented young people whom Princess Mine had seen and discovered with her own eyes, making this banquet hall even more energetic and full of energy.
Under such circumstances, Empress Mine was receiving their greetings with her dignified appearance while receiving appeals close to the courtship of young male aristocrats.
Although she ascended to her position as emperor, she was still without a companion.
Empress Mine not only has the title of emperor, but is also very smart and very beautiful as a woman.
It is unavoidable for energetic young men to dream of a love that she might not know, and to hope for a chance to achieve a one-step reversal of her rise in status.
But still, no one who seemed likely to do so has appeared.
Empress Mine was not offended by the other party, but she was strictly forbidding the approaching nobles one by one.
How many times did he go through such rejection?
By the time the young men in their twenties were discouraged and left, Princess Mine barely managedThe person who aimed for itShe was able to make contact with several of them.
“Meet the noble and great Empress.”
“Meet the Empress.”
The mother and daughter of the Marquis of Las, who attended the banquet, bowed politely to Princess Mine.
In the arms of those two people, each of them had a young child, and beside them were tall and handsome… However, even at first glance, there were heteromorphic figures who were not human.
Marquis Charlotte Lass and her mother Thearesia Lass.
This Marquis family generously handed over part of their territory as a place for demons to live, and also happily married high-ranking aristocratic-level demons among the demons with whom exchanges took place… Oh, that’s how it’s been said.
The two heteromorphic men standing next to the two of them, that demonic men… That is.
Of course, Princess Mine, who knows all the truth, knows very well who these two are.
Princess Mine laughed, but she spoke to the man who was making a blunt expression next to Charlotte Lass.
“—Chris,Are you enjoying the party?”
“… There’s no way you can enjoy it.”
Her voice was dignified and suitable for an aristocrat, but her tone was feminine and above all, it had a thick feeling that could only be heard in the slums.
It was also the tone of a very dear friend of hers to Princess Mine.
This man is Princess Mine’s friend, Chris.
To be precise, it was Chris disguised with magic.
Considering various circumstances, whenever there is an external event like this, like now, Chris would disguise himself and play the role of 『Charlotte’s husband』.
And the child in Charlotte’s arms is the child of Count Meln.
『Demon King’s Egg Fragment』And the child created at a time when the mana is not yet stable, is affected by that mana and is like ChrisHalf DemonHas become the form of
But even so, even if it’s not a pure human figure… It was easy to see that Charlotte had a very deep affection for her own child.
“Oh hey, Chris is also really~★ What other nobles would think if she was making such a fat expression~★『The Marquis of Ras is happy interacting with the demons~』So that the feeling of ‘I’ll live,’ please!”
“… Noisy. Like you, I can’t do things like skillful acting with freedom. Rather, if you’re going to do this, shouldn’t you create something like an alter ego?”
“Umm~ It’s possible, but it takes too much energy~? Also, since Chris will be coming to these places often, in that he gains experience in many ways ~ ★”
“… Chit.”
The demon in which Chris was disguised, and another tall demon by Thearesia’s side, chatted about each other.
It was the same here, too, with a womanly tone that didn’t go well with her husky voice with a low-pitched voice.
This is Mona the Succubus.
Today, it seemed that she was not the Demon King, but that her personality was revealed.
That precious ‘Demon King’ had some twists and turns, and is currently sharing one body with this succubus.
“It is nice to meet you like this. Thank you for always working hard. The Marquis of Ras has a lot of complicated things in many ways, but there is an excellent lord who handles this and that very easily, so I feel really relieved.”
Empress Mine praised her Charlotte, and Charlotte accepted her praise with regret.
Although she still receives help from the Count, she has grown into a competent leader who is incomparable to her past.
Her mother, Thearesia, also formed her own personal network and had a great influence on her political and business world, so it could be said that she was also very great.
No matter how good the person at the top is, the work of the country cannot be accomplished by one person alone.
That’s why Empress Mine is able to unfold the ideal policies she desires very comfortably and smoothly thanks to her competent talents prepared in advance by Countess Meln.
Like that, the mother and daughter of the Marquis of Las, Empress Mine, and Chris and Mona talked for a while.
Just when it felt like the time had come, Mine moved away from them and looked for the next person.
There were still a lot of nobles clinging to her, but they kept her distance so that she wouldn’t get in the way of her empress Mine, so it wasn’t much of a problem.
Due to the effect of the special magic tool hanging in her ear, the conversation she has with a specific target sounds like meaningless chatter to them, so there is no problem even if you let it follow as it is.
As Empress Mine looked around her spacious hall, she immediately found the person she was looking for and approached it.
The other side of her was also looking for her Mine, and she was coming towards her.
“Hello, Mine. Thank you for inviting me, and I am so glad to see you.”
“No, it’s only natural… I’m really glad to see you again. And likewise, it is very nice to meet you, Count Meln.”
“Okay. … Well, I always watch it.”
The person Princess Mine was looking for.
Hero EmiliaAnd Earl of MelnIn front of her, Princess Mine smiled brightly.
