A Demon Lord's Tale: Dungeons, Monster Girls, and Heartwarming Bliss - Chapter 536.2

–Back to the scene at present, this really was an outstanding number of people.

This number of people would probably surpass an audience stadium in my previous life.

This stadium, which would impress people just by its size, was filled to the brim with people. And there would be more from here.

Moreover, this event was not organized by a single race, but by a number of humanoid races.

It was impossible to see such a scene in this world before.

There seemed to be a few fights going on, but…well, I guess that could not be helped to a certain extent. Good luck to all the mobilized soldiers.

As I was relaxing with my family, there was a knock at the door of the VIP room.

When I gave permission to enter, a butler peeked out.

He was a familiar face, a butler who had arranged various things for my family’s previous tour of the capital with the Spirit King and the Demon King Finar, and who was excellent at his job.

Oh, I see, it was this butler who was assigned to us.

“Your Majesty, it’s almost time to go.” (Knight)

“Okay, I’ll be right there.” (Yuki)

“…I still can’t help but chuckle when I hear someone call you ‘Your Majesty’.” (Lefi)

“I agree with you.” (Nell)

“I’m sorry, but me as well.” (Lyuu)

“Sorry, me too…” (Layla)

For the record, guys, even I thought so as well.

◇◇◇

“Phew…” (Alveiro)

In the waiting room, Alveiro Verbaan exhaled heavily.

The days of change raged on.

Since his change from being just a councilor to someone even higher up, there had not been a single day of spare time, and he had been running around from morning to night, working.

This was certainly what Alveiro wanted, and what he decided was necessary…but to be honest, it was probably easier when he was captured as a terrorist suspect.

However, even though he was that busy, it was all for this day and this day only.

It was time for him to show his loyalty to his country.

“Senator Alveiro. Are you nervous?” (Helger)

Helger Landros, Deputy Commander of the First Royal Guard, called out to him.

“…As a matter of course. With this many people, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous.” (Alveiro)

“Haha, indeed. I haven’t seen this many people since the Great War.” (Helger)

“…Yes.” (Alveiro)

The war was still fresh in their minds.

The transformation began there and continued to this day. There was not a single Rogard Empire citizen who had not struggled to get to this point.

It was the same for Alveiro and Helger.

And because they both were in a position that were very familiar with the internal affairs of the country, their sentiments were also very strong.

“We are truly grateful to His Majesty Yuki. We will continue to be associated with him for a long time to come. Above all, that is also the wish of former Emperor Shendra-sama.” (Alveiro)

“That’s right. His Majesty Yuki has done his best in his own way when he ruled over us. He even fought for us. But… no matter what, the head of the country must be from this country.” (Helger)

“Well, His Majesty Yuki is not very keen on the position of emperor in the first place, is he?” (Alveiro)

“Ah. He probably thinks of it as a duty. He was asked to do it, he agreed to do it, and he’s doing his job well.” (Helger)

“I guess Shendra-sama has noticed that he is surprisingly loyal. …Even after all this time, I’m still wondering what the heck was going on in that man’s thoughts.” (Alveiro)

“That’s what I’ve always wondered, as well.” (Helger)

They both laughed.

“At any rate, first of all, we must survive today…” (Alveiro)

“Yes, that’s right. …I’ll be rooting for you to come back here safely.” (Helger)
