104-104-To stay peaceful for hundreds of years

"Well, Raika. After listening to what you said earlier, what is your idea of strength?" Can you tell me what to do?'

Asked by His Majesty Emperor Dinosis, Laika turned back in a hurry.

His expression as he stared at us was very anxious, but there was only one thing we could do.

''Just say what you think, right?''

Yes, sir!

Prince Raika, who was slightly relieved when Elena and I pushed him back, turned to his father again and spoke his own thoughts.

''I believe that strength is being blessed with a trusted vassal.......no, a reliable companion!

At Prince Laika's words, His Majesty nodded without changing his expression.

''As you know, I am very impotent. I have no talent with a sword like your father.''

Strictly speaking, Prince Laika has a magical talent so good that he can "defeat the four demon kings in one blow", and I've told him that too.

But as you can see from the way he speaks, he doesn't intend to change his job to become a wizard, even with the current state of affairs in which the sorcerer Galardi has fallen from grace.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the world," he said, "but if you believe in your friends and join forces with them, you'll be able to defeat even the demon king's army. It's because of my own powerlessness that I was able to realize the importance of this. The power lies in the connections with all the people who have helped me so far!

As Prince Laika speaks his theory based on his own experience, Leopard, who is watching nearby, is already in a state of half-crying.

Then His Majesty Emperor Dinosis, who had been silent until now, turned his attention to the prince and uttered some unexpected words.

''There is one error in that perception.''

!

The sudden words of His Majesty's words sent tension to everyone's faces.

When I walked up to Prince Laika, who didn't understand the meaning of the words and was confused, His Majesty gently patted his own son's small head.

''The battle ahead.......actually, I was shown the whole thing.''

"What...!

His Majesty smiled with satisfaction as he looked at Prince Laika with his eyes wide open in surprise and sent me eye contact.

''His Majesty's waiting at the royal castle was false information (fake) in the first place. I'm not sure how much he's going to trust me, but I'm not going to take it easy when the future of the country is at stake, right?　If we'd missed a few things, the mission would have been aborted at that point.

''Mm. I'm not the kind of foolish king who would bend over on his throne and use his chin to use his soldiers. I would have liked to move my body a little bit.

"Yes....

Laika is stunned when she is informed of the unexpected truth.

His Majesty shakes off his hesitation with a word of his own to the prince.

''In other words, you've managed to command more than everyone can imagine. I'm not going to be able to say that I'm helpless after defeating the demon king's army with just a few men, not to mention the leper of an educator, I don't have a position to be in.

Father.

You call yourself powerless, but you're wrong. You are not powerless. You have gathered your allies to help you, and they can use that power appropriately it is unmistakably your own power.

Then the father gripped his son's hand tightly.

This action means 'trust' in the Jedite Empire.........

'You're strong enough already. You've done well, Laika.'

Prince Laika's eyes widened and big tears spilled out of his eyes.

The sight of Prince Raika sobbing inconsiderately was a far cry from "strength", but no one here is worried about the future of the Empire.

In the near future, Prince Raika will be a good leader and will lead the country.

He will lead the country in the near future as a good leader, so that it will remain peaceful for decades, even centuries to come.

God we thank you for your presence here.

"I don't believe in God, but for once I feel the same way as you do.

Me and Elena turned to each other and giggled at the sight of Einz praying with words of thanks to God and Leopard scratching his nose in embarrassment next to him.
