Chapter 128: 128

Resolution to murder one's own Lord

***---***

 

 Through my talks with Count Zephalos Gleisner, I have decided to change my impression of the nobles of the Resenburg Kingdom.

 

 Until now, I had thought that the nobles were divided into the First Prince faction and the Second Prince faction, and were fighting for power, and were blinded by greed.

 

 However, I learned that some nobles were seriously working to maintain their territories and livelihoods.

 

 

 After discussing the outline of the strategy with Zephalos, I promised to report the results to Camilla and mediate a relationship with the Count Gleisner Family.

 

 Of course, Camilla won't say no to me, but considering the circumstances, she probably wouldn't have the option of refusing.

 

 The meeting lasted for a long time, but not only Zephalos, but also Walter and Vincent were enthusiastically participating in the discussion.

 

 

 At the end of the meeting, Zephalos gave me a letter for Camilla.

 

 The official letter will be sent at a later date, and although it's a simple personal letter this time, I'm entrusted with a signed letter, so I'm sure he trusts me.

 

 

 It was close to midnight when the meeting ended, but I decided to stop by Camilla's room just in case.

 

 By the way, the rope nooses for tying to their necks that I prepared would be shelved this time, and there would be no warning from the Maou.

 

 

 If she had already fallen asleep, I would have to go back tomorrow, but the lights were still on in Camilla's room.

 

 I looked into the room and saw that Camilla was drinking alone and she was pouring liquor into a glass.

 

 Camilla let out a big sigh as she drank about half the glass in one go.

 

 It feels like her head is shaking somehow.

 

 

"Camilla, about Bernst and the others ..."

 

 

 When I stepped out of the shadows and called out to her, Camilla's head, which had been looking down, raised, and her gaze turned towards me, but I felt like her eyes were out of focus.

 

 It looked like it would be better to start over.

 

 

"Maou-sama ... Ma, ou ... sama ..."

 

 

 Camilla stood up while swaying and walked over with unsteady steps.

 

 

"You don't think I'm ... really that ... attractive, huh ..."

 

"Huh? What are you talking about ... Uwah, you're drunk ..."

 

"Maou-sama ..."

 

"Hey, Camilla ... it's dangerous ..."

 

 

 Unable to support Camilla, who was unsteady, I was pushed down onto her bed.

 

 

"Mufuu ... Ma・o・u・sa・m・a ..."

 

"Ehh, hey ... what are you doing?"

 

 

 Camilla pushed me down, buried her face in my neck and rubbed against my cheeks.

 

 

"Mufufuu ... You smell like Maou-sama ..."

 

"Hey, Camilla, what the hell are you doing!"

 

 

 Camilla, who had been snuffling and sniffing me, suddenly lost her strength.

 

 As she lay down on me, she began to sleep.

 

 

"What the hell is this drunk ... She's absolutely outrageous. This ... this ... haa ..."

 

 

 I threw Camilla onto the bed with slightly disheveled nightwear.

 

 

[ Buhahaha, Kent-sama, do you mind if you don't continue? ]

 

"No way, to take advantage of a drunk and unconscious woman, I'm not one of those Yarisa bastards ..."

 

[ Yarisa, what is that ...? ]

 

"Ah, it's those bastards who try to get women drunk and do nasty things."

 

[ I see, but Camilla-dono seems to have wanted it too? ]

 

"No, she probably won't remember in this state. Aahh, this is what I looked like when I got drunk at Klaus-san's dinner party, didn't I?"

 

[ Buhahaha, it was about this level of drunkenness. ]

 

"Really, even though Bernst's entanglement is approaching an important phase ... You idiot!"

 

"Ahh ... Maou-sama ... Ma ..."

 

 

 When I smacked her forehead, Camilla's hands roamed around like a zombie in a sleepy state, then suddenly stopped moving, and was sleeping with a slovenly smile on her face.

 

 

[ Camilla-dono has more opportunities to interact with the people than the idiot Princes, and she behaves with common sense, but she still has the generosity of royalty, or rather, she's sweet. ]

 

"But, I informed her that Bernst is thinking about slaughtering the residents ... Well, it's no use saying it now."

 

 

 I needed to talk about the movement of the Second Prince's faction, so I wrote a note to make sure she didn't drink alcohol and returned to Volzard.

 

 I woke up late today, but it turned out to be a day of hard work.

 

 I have a meeting with Zephalos tomorrow, so let's go to bed quickly.

 

 Hey, Meisa-chan, can you return the pillow you're holding ...

 

 

 After breakfast, I visited the chairman's room before leaving for the clinic.

 

 It looked like I was going to be busy with the Second Prince's matters from now on, and if there were any points to correct in Camilla's apology comment, I thought I'd ask her first.

 

 So ... I'm sitting in seiza in the chairman's room right now.

 

 

"Kento ... I wonder what this is all about ..."

 

"No, I don't know what to say ..."

 

"Camilla, are you adding her to the harem?"

 

"That, of course, I have no intention of adding her right now."

 

"Right now ...? Well then, are you going to bring her in when the heat cools down?"

 

"No, no ... I didn't mean that ..."

 

 

 It can't be helped that the chairman has become a Yaksha.

 

 When Camilla confessed, I had forgotten to delete the video file that had been continuing to record.

 

 I put down the tablet halfway through, so it wasn't able to capture the video, but the audio was picked up perfectly.

 

 

[ I understand. I am fully aware that I am not suitable for Maou-sama. However, my feelings ... please listen to my sincere thoughts. ]

 

[ Eh ... Ah, y, yes ... ]

 

 

 I don't know how many times it's been, but just listening to the replay sounds like I'm forgiving and accepting Camilla.

 

 However, in reality, it's impossible to add her to the harem without an apology or compensation, just because I was pushed by Camilla's momentum and gave a half-hearted reply.

 

 

"I'm well aware that Kento is weak against girls, but Camilla is no good! Of course, it's not like it's okay to have other girls, but anyway, you have to tell Camilla clearly!"

 

"Yes, I'm sorry ..."

 

 

 Unlike me, she had many opportunities to meet Camilla at the Lastock garrison, and since the committee chairman had seen the miserable situation of our classmates in detail, she probably couldn't bring herself to forgive her.

 

 If she knew what happened last night, she might really get disgusted.

 

 

"Hey, Kento, be honest. After all ... are you dissatisfied that since you haven't been able to greet Papa and Mana, umm ... you can't do naughty things?"

 

"No, there's no such thing. That's because I'm thinking about it properly, so it's okay."

 

"But Kento, like Camilla, Reese-san, Meline-san, or the receptionist at the guild ... Since you fawn over women with big breasts ..."

 

"Guu ... I"m sorry ..."

 

 

 There is no more room for objection.

 

 As the chairman said, I've been glancing, peeking, and staring at them.

 

 

"Hey, Kento ..."

 

"Yes, what is it?"

 

"You know ... If you can't stand it no matter what, I'll ..."

 

"Huh? Umm ..."

 

"Reese-san taught me the other day ..."

 

 

 The chairman turned bright red and fidgeted.

 

 

"No, no, no good, no good, I'll tell Camilla properly. Or rather, since Camilla is a princess, isn't there such a thing as an influential nobleman or a political marriage with a neighboring country?"

 

"But, if it's necessary to keep a relationship, isn't Kento more important?"

 

"Ugh ... But only Camilla and her younger brother Diethelm know about my existence ..."

 

"But, aren't you going to make Camilla's brother the King?"

 

"Uh ... Ah, that story may change, and a noble may propose marriage to Camilla."

 

 

 When I told her about the rambunctious behavior of the Second Prince Bernst, his younger brother Christoph, and their entourage, and the assassination plot by the disinterested Count Gleisner, the chairman showed an expression of disbelief.

 

 

"Uwaa, it's a terrible situation.

 

"Anyway, I think the next few days will be the hurdle, so I thought I'd ask if there were any corrections to the apology comment before that ... Yuika?"

 

"I'm sorry. The blood is rushing to my head, and I can't look at the contents properly ..."

 

"Eeehhh ..."

 

"Because, it can't be helped. Even with this retake, Camilla is obviously sending amorous glances at Kento who is filming, and I can't stand watching this!"

 

"Ugh ... even if it's just a matter of checking the contents somehow ..."

 

"Haa ... It can't be helped, instead ..."

 

 

 The exchange condition presented by the chairman was to shoot a video of me and the chairman together and show it to Camilla.

 

 The contents of the video, which was re-recorded twice, was of the chairman declaring ownership of me to Camilla, showing the two of us acting passionately.

 

 

 I told the chairman that I was going to a meeting with Count Gleisner ... and left, but the first place I went to was Camilla's place.

 

 I had to deliver Zephalos' letter and his promise to support her in the future.

 

 Of course, I planned to show the chairman's declaration of war.

 

 

 Camilla had her elbows on her office desk, holding her head.

 

 Spread out in front of her is the note I left yesterday.

 

 

"Aahh ... How stupidly I behaved ... I hope it was just a dream ... Aahh ... My head hurts ..."

 

 

 Contrary to my expectations, Camilla seemed to remember yesterday's abomination.

 

 Wait, isn't her headache because she's hungover?

 

 I stepped out of the shield of darkness and sat down on the sofa and called out to her.

 

 

"Are you sober?"

"Ma, Maou-sama!"

 

"There's no time to relax, I have a letter from Zephalos Gleisner. Read it immediately."

 

"Yes, as you wish."

 

"Also, can I get a cup of tea."

 

"Yes, Bacchus, tea ..."

 

 

 Zephalos' letter desribed the assassination plan of Bernst, Christoph, and their entourage that we discussed last night, and asked for Camilla's approval and support in the future.

 

 The plan was to leave Bamata early in the morning and arrive in Lastock in the afternoon.

 

 The outline was to give a final reprimand at the camp's training ground, and if that didn't work, they would be killed on the spot.

 

 

"This ... Does it mean that Zephalos Gleisner will betray them?"

 

"No. He's completely disgusted with Bernst and Christoph. I got a peek at their orgies yesterday, and it was just awful."

 

"Did you see it?"

 

"As the smoke from Falzala filled the other side of the room with haze, multiple men and women became entwined like beasts ... It's not something a Prince of a country should do, and by no means can we leave the future of the country in their hands. Isn't that why Zephalos made the decision?"

 

"Certainly, it's as you said."

 

"So, are you going to accept Zephalos' offer, or are you going to decline?"

 

"I'll accept it."

 

 

 I didn't feel any hesitation in Camilla's reply.

 

 

"Okay, then, could you write a letter to Zephalos accepting the offer, and also to Bernst, Christoph, and the Commander of the Knight's of the Royal Guard who are guarding each of them?"

 

"Understood."

 

 

 Camilla wrote a rough draft, read it over, made corrections, and finally made an official copy using paper with the royal crest on it.

 

 She placed it in a gold-rimmed envelope and used a ring on her left hand to stamp the sealing wax.

 

 Yeah, it's kind of cool because it's like royalty.

 

 I thought the letter alone would be enough, but I decided to record a video of Camilla's comments in order to increase the credibility.

 

 

"I am the Third Princess, Camilla Resenburg. The decision to kill my half-brothers Bernst, and Christoph, must have been the last thing you wanted to think about. I fully support your decision. I want you to work without restraint, and to be loyal to the country."

 

 

 Honestly, I think it's really good that I can't notice the smell of alcohol.

 

 Even though she has a firm expression, the smell comes to me across the table.

 

 I stopped the recording and gave Camilla the OK.

 

 

"Yeah, it's no good ... Because the image doesn't convey the smell of alcohol."

 

"Uh ... I'm sorry."

 

"I don't know why, but yesterday was terrible, do you remember?"

 

"N, no ... It seems like I was terribly drunk, and I found out from the note that Maou-sama was here."

 

 

 It's completely different topic that we were just talking about, so she acts in a strange way.

 

 

"After all, I was meeting with Zephalos until late ... It's really outrageous."

 

"I'm sorry."

 

 

 Camilla bowed her head with the momentum of hitting the table.

 

 

"Well, anyway ... Also, there is a message from Yuika. Can you take a look at it?"

 

"When you say Yuika ... Is it the Saint?"

 

"Yes, that's right, here, look ..."

 

"Haa ... This is ..."

 

 

 Camilla starts looking at the video while tilting her head, but her eyes immediately widened, and after that her expression changed to a solemn expression.

 

 In the video, the committee chairman, while in close contact with me as if to show off, condemned the many mistakes Camilla had made, and pointed out in a sharp tone that there were still many people who were still suffering.

 

 And, until she apologized to those who had suffered the tragedy caused by our summoning, and provided compensation, and unless she got her permission, she declared that she would never accept her having a relationship with me, she kissed me on the cheek and the video ended.

 

 

"I don't think I will be able to accept Camilla's feelings until the apology and reparations are completed and you receive her forgiveness."

 

"Maou-sama ..."

 

 

 Camilla nodded while shedding big tears.

 

 

"You're right. I was spoiled by Maou-sama's kindness. I'm truly sorry."

 

"Anyway, I plan to go to Bamata to meet with Zephalos and the Commander of the Knights of the Royal Guard, so Camilla, make sure that the Lastock knights have a thorough plan."

 

"Yes ... As you wish ..."

 

 

 Guu ... I wonder if she can't stop looking at me like an abandoned puppy.

 

 It looks like I'm the bad guy ... It's outrageous.

 

 I dove into the shadows and headed for Count Gleisner's mansion in Bamata.

 

 

 When I arrived at Count Gleisner's residence and looked into Zephalos' room, I saw two men with stout physiques facing him with a sour expression.

 

 Those two were probably the Commanders of the Knights of the Royal Guard.

 

 Before I show myself, I'll take a peek at what kind of people they are.

 

 

[ Kent-sama, the one on the right with reddish-brown hair is Nathan Forst, the Second Prince's Knight Commander, and the one on the left with dark green hair and a beard is Oswald Kirsch, the Third Prince's Knight Commander. ]

 

"Basten, whose orders do the Royal Guards move on?"

 

[ Yes, the Royal Guard's main duty is to protect the royal family, and the Commander of the Royal Guard is at the top of the chain of command, as long as they don't disobey the order, they will move according to the order of the royal family who they are in charge of escorting. ]

 

"In other words, if the plan to massacre the citizens of Lastock isn't disobeyed by the Commander of the Knight's Guard, then those two would follow Bernst and Christoph's orders, right?"

 

[ That's right, but from a common sense perspective, I don't think the Commander of the Knight's Guard would allow such an act, and I don't think those two would obey. ]

 

"Then, is it safe to assume that those two are likely to become allies?"

 

[ That's right. I don't think they'll obey the orders of the idiot Princes. ]

 

 

 In fact, even listening to Zephalos, they seem to be having trouble with the idiot Princes' misbehavior, and they seem to have almost run out of amiability.

 

 However, they appear to be holding off on the serious decision to kill members of the Royal Family.

 

 

"Count-dono, wouldn't it be better to confine them instead of killing them?"

 

"Nathan-dono, I thought about it too, but wouldn't it have a negative effect on the area around the confinement if they were imprisoned in that state? Besides, as long as they're alive, I don't think Margrave Calvine would leave it be. It's difficult to succeed the throne, but that's why I'm worried about being the leader of a rebellion."

 

"Does Oswald-dono feel any resistance to killing Christoph-sama?"

 

"It would be a lie if I said I didn't feel anything at all, but I've reprimanded him many times, but he won't listen to me. On top of that, if he's telling me to kill civilians, I'll have no choice but to execute His Highness."

 

 

 Nathan, who is guarding the Second Prince's, seems to have some hesitation, but Oswald, who is guarding the Third Prince, seemed to have already made up his mind.

 

 

"Nathan, I heard you just had a baby. It can't be helped if you hesitate when making a decision that might give them the stigma of being a traitor. However, Nathan, we certainly sword to dedicate our lives for our country as Knights of the Royal Guard. If you think about what you need to do to protect your country and prosper, you should be able to find the answer."

 

 

 Hearing Oswald's words, Nathan folded his arms and looked up at the ceiling.

 

 He remained in that position, closed his eyes, thought for a moment, and then turned his gaze back to Zephalos.

 

 

"I understand, Count-dono. However, please give me a chance to give one last admonishment when we get to Lastock. If he still won't change his mind, there's nothing I can do. I will execute Bernst-sama."

 

"That's right. Leave it to me to execute Christoph-sama."

 

 

 It seemed that the Royal Guards were the ones who would actually execute the two Stupid Princes.

 

 And perhaps Zephalos had predicted this situation.

 

 Well then, let's meet face to face.

 

 The three of them could see it well, but I put out a shield of darkness out of their reach and stepped into the room.

 

 

"Who are you!"

 

"Don't worry. Nathan-dono, he's on our side."

 

 

 As soon as he saw me, Zephalos held back Nathan, who stood up and readied himself.

 

 

"Good morning, Count Gleisner. Also, it's my first time to meet you, Oswald-san, Nathan-san. My name is Kento Kokubu. Nice to meet you ..."

 

"I'm sure both of you have heard about him. He is the Maou who frequents Lastock."

 

 

 Even after hearing Zephalos' words, the two don't seem to let their guards down.

 

 Especially Oswald, who is still sitting, is looking at me like a blade.

 

 

"Well, I'm sorry for being so hasty, but Maou, do you have that?"

 

"Yes, I have it. But before that, could you call me Kent instead of Maou?"

 

"Hou, don't you like the title of Maou?"

 

"Yes, to be honest, it feels unpleasant."

 

"Fufufufu ... But, if the rumors that have come to my place are true, I think it's appropriate to call you Maou?"

 

"I don't know what the rumors are about, but I would appreciate it if you could take it with a grain of salt."

 

"Well, it's fine, can I get the letter?"

 

"Yes, here ..."

 

 

 Nathan and Oswald's eyes widened as I took the letter out of the shadow storage.

 

 

"You, where did you get that envelope ..."

 

"That, please see for yourself."

 

 

 I handed over Camilla's letters addressed to Zephalos, Nathan, and Oswald.

 

 Taking a paper knife out of his pocket, Zephalos cut the seal, handed the knife to Oswald, and began to read the letter.

 

 Oswald also smoothly cut the seal and opened the letter, but Nathan looked at the gold-rimmed envelope, checked the stamp on the sealing wax, and finally opened the seal.

 

 Zephalos nodded several times while reading the letter, and after confirming the contents of the letter in detail, returned it to the envelope.

 

 

"Please tell me one thing. Did Camilla-sama make the decision without consulting with anyone?"

 

"As far as I'm aware, the decision was made by Princess Camilla herself."

 

"That's sufficient, really, it's almost as if Camilla-sama were a man ... I would think."

 

 

 By the time Zephalos gave his impressions, the two Royal Guards had also finished reading the letters.

 

 

"This ... This, is it really written by Camilla-sama?"

 

"Nathan, I understand your feelings of suspicion, but even the Count-dono would not have had time to prepare these envelopes and letter paper."

 

"That, it's true, but ..."

 

"I thought you would say that, so I was also entrusted with a message, so could you take a look at it?"

 

 

 When I played back the video of Camilla that had been shot with the tablet, even Zephalos was astonished by it, and I was questioned by the three of them, but knowing Camilla's backing was assured, they seemed even more determined.
