Epilogue, new days (4)

Dmitry's demon.

Even after the war was over, rumors about him abounded.

"Do you know why Dmitry's demon is called a demon? He never just kills people. No matter how many opponents you have or how strong you are. They don't care about the difference at all, and they call it a demon because it looks like a ghost when it runs like a madman and rips its opponent to shreds."

"There was a famous case in the past. A case in which Ares, who destroyed Valhalla, was dragged away like a dog by Dmitry's demon and executed in exchange for betraying Dmitry. He is such a person. There is no blood or tears for beings perceived as enemies, even if they were once companions."

Kevin.

I could never know its name.

Even if he went to the periphery of the Salamander Continent, if he said Kevin's name, people would be terrified as he was Dmitry's demon.

But that person is Marie's older brother. From the moment he sat down, Lukeman's mind was bound to be complicated.

We had to continue the conversation calmly according to the simulation repeated countless times, but when I remembered the rumors expressing Dmitry's demon, my mouth did not fall out.

' That's why you didn't tell me.'

Now I understand.

Why didn't she talk about her family?

It was a complicated matter.

Aside from Kevin's reputation as Dmitry's demon, Marie, a regular white-collar worker, wouldn't like her background revealed.

In fact, it was the same when I was attending the Royal Academy in Cairo.

Having Dmitry's power as her older brother, Marie had a hard time with people approaching her with pretentious smiles.

that power.

what a great background.

At first I thought it would be nice, but Marie felt uncomfortable, like clothes that didn't fit.

So I hoped that you would look at yourself without the background.

At first he didn't understand Marie's secret, but when he looked at Kevin's face, he seemed to understand why.

' Lukeman. Calm down. No matter who Marie's brother is, I must be a respected boyfriend for Marie's sake. And as far as Marie is said to be a good person, I'm sure it won't be as vicious as the rumors say.'

I trusted Marie.

Lukeman mustered up the courage and spoke first.

"nice to see you. I ."

That's how the conversation started.

The atmosphere was more friendly than expected.

The more we talked, the more my prejudices melted away at the appearance of Kevin, who was talking to each other at the tempo of the other person.

"In the meantime, Marie has talked a lot about Mr. Lukeman. How nice you are and how you treat yourself. If Marie is the one who says that, then she must be a good person. This place is not meant to be an evaluation, it is simply a place to get to know each other, so don't feel too uncomfortable."

He was a good person.

As we talked, I thought that maybe the rumors were exaggerated.

In fact, Dmitry's demon did no evil.

He certainly trampled on the opponents he had defined as enemies, but never heard of a rumor that he had committed any wrongdoing.

If so. Roman Dmitry, who advocates Dmitry's laws, will not stand still.

At least his followers left no room for trouble.

I have confidence.

with Marie.

If it happens that a new family including Kevin is formed.

I thought I could do well.

As the wine dwindled, Lukeman genuinely enjoyed the conversation with Kevin with a slightly warm face.

That was then.

Wow!

"Damn!"

The scream of a woman that ripped her ears.

Everyone in the restaurant instinctively looked in the direction of the sound.

* * *

It was an obvious situation.

A drunken drunkard took action, and his eyes changed wildly at the appearance of an employee trying to restrain him.

"Do you know who I am?"

just two years ago.

The man was a merchant with great wealth.

However, he lost a lot as he lost to the top of the competition, and now he has to go to a restaurant that thinks about cost-effectiveness.

Did the anger in the past explode? Thinking that the man was ignoring even the employees, he overturned the table and pulled out the sword he had kept next to the chair.

Wow!

"Damn!"

It was a mess.

In an instant, the situation had turned into chaos, and the man looked around, screaming.

"Look, you bastards. Do you all want to lose? You bastards who ignore me, I'll cut out my eyes myself."

Curl rumble.

An aura rose from the sword.

To the extent that the swordsmanship he had learned as a hobby reached the level, the man was a kind of talented in swordsmanship in his own way.

If there was no one capable of stopping him here, the man would have had an accident, but unfortunately he made eye contact with Kevin, who was slicing the meat.

That was a mistake.

Kevin put down his fork and knife and said sorry to Marie and Lukeman on the other side.

"Sorry. sorry. I'll be away for a while."

squeaky.

got up from his seat

The man looked at him.

In an unusual atmosphere, he pointed his sword at Kevin.

"You stay there Huh?!"

sudden.

blah.

It happened in an instant.

I thought the opponent was clearly at a distance, but in the blink of an eye, the man's face was slammed into the table.

His eyes widened with a scream. Before he could properly use his aura, he was overpowered at once.

Then.

Quaid, quad-duck.

"Aaaaaaaaah!"

He trampled the hand holding the sword.

Screaming or not, Kevin said to the employee with a stern expression on his face.

"Could you call the guards, please?"

" Oh, I see."

"If you say it is urgent, it will arrive soon. Then, please take care of it."

kicked in the face

Seeing that he had passed out as it was, he turned his gaze away and returned to his seat.

An awkward silence lingered.

To the extent that it was doubtful whether it was the same person as before, Kevin regained his calmness.

"sorry. So, how far did we go?"

That moment.

Lukeman was convinced.

Apart from being a good person, Marie's older brother is clearly Dmitry's demon.

If the day comes when tears flow from your girlfriend's eyes, you will not be alive.

Like that guy lying on the floor.

* * *

Break up with Marie.

Kevin visited Hans after a long time.

Still chasing after Hans, who is busy with the Dmitry family, Kevin recounts what he had just gone through.

"He was a sincere and good-looking friend. I was proud of what I was doing, and above all, I could see that I really loved Marie. I'm glad. To be honest, I thought that everyday happiness was not allowed for us who lived in the slums, but Marie and her boyfriend looked so happy."

"It's a good thing."

Hans answered while he was working.

People were afraid of Kevin.

Rumors of Dmitry's demonic alienation distanced him, and despite his social status, Kevin spent a lot of time alone.

To him, Hans was a very precious existence.

He had been taking care of him since he first followed Roman Dmitry, and he didn't care about rumors of a demon.

Is that so?

When I met Hans, I talked a lot.

"If the day Marie really gets married, I want to make a luxurious wedding that no one in the world envy. And I will make a space for the couple to live in the middle of Dmitry. It is not a shabby building with traces of anyone, but a space where only Marie and her husband can fill in all the stories. If I could have a baby there and start a family, I would like to give Marie some of the money I had saved so that the two of them wouldn't be dealing with each other as they struggle with real problems."

"The lady I know, Marie, is not the kind of person who will change for practical reasons. The mere fact that such a reliable brother exists will surely make him a wise man to continue his family."

"It would be. Still, as an older brother, I just want to do this and that."

past years.

Kevin amassed a fortune.

In the name of war compensation, Roman Dmitry granted an astronomical amount, but in the meantime, there was no need to use it, so it was left at the top of Valentino.

Since interest is charged every year just by leaving money, a person from Valentino who came to me a few days ago said that the interest was substantial.

If it's for your own brother.

I was willing to use that money.

Kevin lived for the people he loved, such as his family, rather than for himself.

"By the way, how is the fortress master doing?"

I wondered.

Roman Dmitry.

After the world was restored to peace, he seldom appeared in public.

He was faithful to his role as emperor in the Imperial Palace, and even Kevin didn't have many encounters with Roman Dmitry.

Luckily, I was able to see her face at Lauren Dmitry's wedding.

Looking at him in good health, Kevin suddenly remembered that he missed the moment when he was on the battlefield.

Hans said.

"You are doing well."

"That's fortunate. In fact, when people are forgetting His Majesty's existence, I feel worried for nothing."

"I understand."

As Kevin said.

Roman Dmitry was gradually forgotten by people.

No matter how great a hero

If his story was not continuously heard, people had no choice but to focus on their own lives.

Hans stopped working and looked at Kevin.

"My Majesty the Emperor once told me this. In a time of peace, not feeling the presence of a leader is the true meaning of peace. If there is a situation where he has to do something, it means that there is a problem in the world. On the other hand, if he is satisfied with the life he is living now that he is not needed, it means that the country is moving in the right direction. His Majesty the Emperor is such a person. When the world was chaotic by war, everyone focused on his steps, but there is no place for a hero in a peaceful life."

" ."

I didn't know why.

Kevin felt a strange ringing.

The fact that there was no longer a place for Roman Dmitry, he seemed to feel the same loneliness as himself.

look like that.

Hans smiled.

"If you are curious, please visit. Kevin deserves it."

* * *

Kevin went to the imperial house.

I was encouraged by Hans' words, and I wanted to see for myself how Roman Dmitry lives on a daily basis.

commander of the bodyguard.

Fernando greeted Kevin.

"The Emperor is at the training ground."

"thank you."

opened the way

It's a training ground.

Even though I thought it was Roman Dmitry, I was excited to see each other after a long time.

yet.

reached the training ground.

However, at the sight that unfolded before his eyes, Kevin had to stop walking like a rock.

" Ah."

Roman Dmitry.

He was busy training.

It was different from the usual appearance.

Usually, swordsmen train their bodies by swinging their swords quickly and strongly, but the swords that Roman Dmitry is wielding move so minutely that they can't even recognize them.

1 cm per minute. The sword lowered slowly.

The sweat-drenched face and concentrated expression showed that he was trying to achieve something in the process.

That sight was shocking.

Kevin couldn't hide his trembling eyes.

'How have you been living all this time?'

3 years ago.

Roman Dmitry defeated the Demon King.

He proved to the world that he was an incomparable existence.

And when three years passed and he looked at his swordsmanship again, Kevin faced a shocking truth.

From then to now.

Roman Dmitry did not neglect training.

Even after reaching an unreachable position, he did not stop refining himself for a moment.

I got goosebumps.

I stared blankly.

how much time has passed

It was only after the sun had set and it was completely dark, Roman Dmitry pulled out his sword and looked at one side of the training ground.

"It's been a while since we've seen each other, Kevin."

quiet voice.

It was the same.

before and now.
