Chapter 531.4

Chapter 531.4

Reid, who understood that his role was finished, did not want to spend another second with these people, so he left the place under the pretext of [obtaining Information].

And just as the imperial family was out of sight, one of the maids working at the palace – a maid who belongs to the intelligence organization [Arbent] – arrived beside him to serve as a guide.

The organization was founded by the former emperor Shendra and continued to protect the country even in his absence.

Reid knew her identity because they had already met in advance as liaison personnel.

“Thank you for your help, Reid-sama.” (Maid)

“No need to thank me, this is all for the sake of our country as well, after all. So with that in mind, this is about as good as it gets. But, well... you guys will be in a tough situation after this.” (Reid)

“We’re used to it.” (Maid)

The maid smiled after her reply, with Reid commenting “You’re a pro,” with a small smile on his face.

“So, how did the dreaded third terrorist attack go down? So, have the terrorists already been dealt with?” (Reid)

“Well, we did expect the target of the attack to summon monsters, so His Majesty Yuki, the Demon Emperor, should be dealing with the situation now. However, it appears that the number of monsters prepared by the enemy was greater than previously expected.” (Maid)

“Hm, well, if they manage to summon a monster that Yuki could not defeat, then there would be no one in this country who could defeat that monster, so I shall assume that everything will be fine. After all, if the worst did happen, not only this country, but all the humans and humanoid races would have to face it.” (Reid)

In this world there existed many creatures that could act like natural disasters. Humans were naturally afraid of such creatures as they had little to no means of dealing with them. But, somehow, one of such creatures, the Demon Emperor Yuki, had now become their emperor.

An existence with such overwhelming power that even the former emperor Shendra, who was a great leader, was defeated by him.

Indeed, if one did not know Yuki’s personality, it was probably understandable to be afraid of him.

...Well, as someone who knew Yuki to a certain extent, Reid almost laughed a little when he heard Yuki say and do things that made people afraid of him.

“There is no need to feel threatened or afraid. If you just interact with him as a good neighbor, he will also respond in that way. Because he is just an ordinary young man. I’m sure it’s not easy because of his position.”

“... As I thought, you are a powerful ruler for a reason, Reid-sama.”

“Hahaha, you say some interesting things. I am pretty sure that there is no other king as mediocre as I am.”

Reid, who said so, however, did not know how much the value of “someone who can speak with the Demon Emperor Yuki on equal terms” is.

Unbeknownst to him, he was already seen by those around him as a representative of humanity.
