Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse

“Your Highness, I know that you don’t like me, but why did you harm grandmother? Your unfair behavior, as a former Japanese I just cannot accept it! I’m getting pissed, you know?”

“Oh, your words are getting messed up in a Japanese style. I see, Serafiona was a high school girl as well? That’s cute. But still, what are you talking about? I love and trust you more than anyone in this world. You know the reason, don’t you? Only you can understand me, only your actions can be understood by me. The only thing I hate is……that monster over there.”

As if he is looking at a bug, he spat at the former queen that has fainted in the queen’s chair. On the sides of the throne, Prince Gardner and Cecil were trembling. They are guarding the king whose eyes are blank and spacing out. Were you unable to escape……or did you stay behind for the king who is your father……

“Your Highness, did you cause the king to become like that?”

“…… No, I don’t know about that. In the first place, I haven’t seen that guy since my brother was born, at that time I was 7 years old. I see, what a pitiful person.”

……Appraisal!

Blue shine.

Schneider Judor (Tarlnight’s Master, First Prince of the Kingdom of Judor)

Condition: Good

Skills: All Magic, Plant Manipulation, Reincarnator, Hard-worker, Revenger

Seems like it’s not a lie. All magic, I wonder if you’ll create a new magic, just like me. You can also use a high-level healing magic. 

“If it’s Your Highness, won’t you be able to help him?”

“I have no duty to help a man who didn’t protect my mother. Right? Well, it’s also too late to be treated……The restoration of the brain is not possible.”

His Highness shrugged his shoulders.

Just when I thought that I sensed the presence of people in the distance, arrows started to pour down like rain. It seems that a brave group of Imperial Guards had released the arrows aiming for Schneider from a remote bell tower. Schneider didn’t even take his gaze off me as he burned them and reduced them to dust.

“The Imperial Guards have never protected me, huh. Just like that guy.”

Schneider used fire magic to create countless fire arrows that looked exactly like the arrows he had just burned down and immediately returned the arrows to the group of Imperial Guards that had attacked him. The bell tower burst into flames at once.

I’m not going to be the only one who has been in a position to do this.

I sighed and shoot a flash flood initiated by Miyu-tan from the palm of my right hand. The fire was extinguished in about 10 seconds, but……I think there were victims.

“You don’t even think about the location? Your Highness’s fire is spreading like wildfire, and even the people who have nothing to do with this are suffering, you know?”

“Hmm, it got a bit messier than I thought it would because I had a bad footing. I don’t think we can speak calmly here. I was thinking of finishing everything today, but should I come again later?”

“Hey, I told you I’m pissed, didn’t I? Did you think that I’ll let you off?”

“Believe it or not, I’m not the one who attacked the Lord of Trundle. Well, I do welcome the fact that she helped set things in motion. For now, shall we move to another place? But before that……”

Schneider pulled a red rose from his chest and kissed it.

Ash got alert and flew above us, while Lu roared in front of me and stood low. Miyu, who is on my chest pocket, had put up an invisible water barrier around me and father.

But instantly, the roses grew vines and fell to the ground, it didn’t crawl toward us, but straight to the unconscious former queen, Clarissa.

“No, Mother!”

Gardner rushed to his mother’s side and cut down the vines one by one. However, he wasn’t fast enough, and in no time, the vines were wrapped around Clarissa, just like how bandages are wrapped around a mummy. Unlike the white bandages though, the green vines have……thorns.

“Gyaaa!!!”

Along with the painful screams……the floor is slowly stained red with blood.

Eventually, the voice disappeared and only the sound of rubble that is crumbling echoed around the area.

“Serafiona, look, I’m getting my hands dirty, you see?”

“…………”

I stomped my legs. My father gently supported my waist with a grim face.

The queen must have deceived dozens or hundreds of people. I’m sure the queen is an atrocious person who tried to poison the previous consort and also the king. But……seeing this scene right in front of me, I can’t bring myself to think that she deserved it.

“Uwaaaaaaa!”

Gardner screamed out.

“Why, why are you doing this! Elder brother! Even though I have admired my strong brother ever since I was a child!”

Schneider gave Gardner a look that seems as if he had seen something strange and tilted his head.

“Gardner, you don’t like vegetables and……bluefish, do you?”

“Wh, what are you asking about? At a time like this! Uuuuuu……”

“The reason I know your food preference is because my mother and I ate your leftover food when you were a child. Moreover, it’s the leftover from the few days before so it has already rotted……while saying that this is enough for us who are like pigs. Sometimes, it was even politely mixed with poison.”

“……Huh?”

“We lived with it until I was able to avoid the surveillance and went hunting by myself. Would it be better to say thank you for leaving so many leftovers?”

“You’re lying……”

“Respect? Do you let someone you respect eat your leftovers?”

“No……”

“Do you know the name of my mother, the woman who became the king’s consort first?”

“……”

“You don’t even know the name of the woman that you and your mother killed? Were you not interested in knowing the name because it belongs to a lowly person? Ignorance is a sin, Gardner. This personality of mine was created by you as well.”

“You’re lying……”

Gardner clutched at the vine that is wrapped around his mother, trying to peel it away, but then he stopped moving.

His Highness’s mother, who is heavily injured, has been taken to heaven……

His Highness’s stopper is no longer here.

Schneider looked at us.

“I see, I feel a great magic, other than those of the West and the South. The rumor that the saintess had made a contract was true……after the emperor, she had become a part of Serafiona’s family. You are really lucky.”

“Do you think that it’s pure luck?”

Eris-san’s dignified voice echoed through the crumbling of debris.

“?”

“I don’t know anyone who works harder every day than Serafiona does. It’s not just about power. She worked in front and also behind the scenes to make the people around her happy. Isn’t it only natural that she is loved by the Holy Beasts?”

“Are you trying to tell me I’m not trying hard enough?”

“You said you could only trust Serafiona. Then, you should have clung to Serafiona and asked her to help you. Instead of involving her in a fight or attacking her! You should have taken people more seriously. You would have been able to do it after you had grown up and gained more strength.”

Does Eris-san think I could have saved him? ……She’s overestimating me. Schneider doesn’t seem to have a miserable past life, unlike me. Even though I can’t feel sorry for him, but he’s been through a lot of pain in this world. Moreover, I was running away from him who is suffering as fast as I could.

『Sera… don’t worry about it. It’s not Sera’s fault that he got twisted. Also, you were young at that time. 』

Lu rubbed his head against my waist.

“Saintess……you have a beautiful heart. Fufufu. As a kind saintess, would you appoint me as the next king?”

“That is not possible. You’ve killed too many of your own people that you need to protect as a king.”

“I’m pretty sure that these people here have also killed a lot of people, am I right?”

The saintess contorted her face.

“Oh well. As long as he’s not dead, then he’s the king. I’ll keep him as my spoils of war this time.”

“Oh!”

Schneider’s rose vines were torn apart from Clarissa’s body and quickly wrapped itself around the king. Then, all at once, the vines shrank and was getting pulled to Schneider’s side. The king was just like a balloon that floated upside down in the sky.

“Father!”

『……The thorns are not showing. For now, he’s not injured. 』

Ash’s voice echoed above my head.

I carefully asked him a question without showing my feelings, while looking as calm as possible.

“……Honestly, even though I don’t really care if the king, who I just met for the first time, is taken hostage. However, you’ve taken revenge on the queen and the king is in that kind of condition. As far as it goes, won’t you be able to think that your revenge is done?”

“No way! Do you think that this is enough to clear my resentments? Do you know just how much suffering that my mother had to go through and she even died because of them! Besides, it would be bad if Serafiona did not take revenge on me after what happened in Trundle, right? I thought we could spice it up a bit. Literally, it will be a battle over the king. For what it’s worth, you wouldn’t want your pitiful king to be chopped up. Loved by the Holy Beasts, the Lord of the righteous Trundle, the kind Serafiona-chan!”

“I have no interest in the throne of Judor! Wait!”

“I’ll wait, Serafiona. I’ll contact you later to inform you about the time and place for the date. Don’t do anything too impulsive okay. Otherwise, I’ll slowly bully this guy here. Will you wait patiently?”

With a flash, a divine light shone out, revealing the silhouette of Tarl-sama. When that light disappeared, Schneider had also disappeared.

“Schneider! Ash! Chase him!”

『Don’t chase him too far. Our battle preparations are not perfect yet. Schneider has pulled out. We should also prepare the set-up. 』

『Tarl……』

Lou continued to stare at the afterimage of Tarl-sama.

“Damn!”

He escaped!

“U, u, uwaaaaa–!”

In an instant, Gardner, who had lost both of his parents, broke down in tears.
