The Demon Prince goes to the Academy - Chapter 439

Chapter 439

Currently, only four of the second-year Templers know that Reinhardt is the Demon Lord.

Bertus Charlotte Ellen and even Harriet.

A strict mutiny order was issued and many people know that it is not good, so everyone only knows that the atmosphere is a bit strange. The story hadn’t spread yet.

However, everyone was wondering that Reinhardt hadn’t been seen at all since a few days ago.

When asked where Reinhardt had gone, both Ellen and Harriet remained ignorant.

these few days

Ellen did not attend any classes.

I just shut myself in the royal class dormitory and did nothing.

Right now, Ellen was sitting blankly in the corner of the gymnasium with her back leaning back.

Became a Sword Master.

It was the appearance of the youngest sword master in history like a miracle.

The name of Ellen Artorius will go down in history.

“… … .”

But what does that mean?

Ellen was sitting blankly in the far corner of the gymnasium, with her head buried between her knees.

What you get is strong.

and the truth.

The only thing missing was Reinhardt.

But Ellen felt like she had lost everything.

When I heard Charlotte talk about finding traces of the demon king, I didn’t expect to really find the demon king.

I felt like trying to catch a straw.

However, in two days, he was able to reach the demon king’s identity.

The truth she wanted to know became the worst truth and came before Ellen’s eyes.

What was the time we spent together until now? What was the meaning of the time spent with Reinhardt from the beginning until now?

What on earth did Reinhardt think of himself?

My brother killed the demon king.

There was no way he would have liked himself as the younger brother.

After getting closer, Ellen confessed to Reinhardt that she was Lagan Artorius’ sister.

What was Reinhardt thinking at that time?

Considering his reaction back then, who didn’t seem too surprised, maybe Reinhardt knew everything.

Thinking about it, Ellen couldn’t figure out the answer.

Since Ellen played a decisive role in tracking down the demon lord, if she wanted to see Reinhardt, she would be able to see it.

However, when he faced Reinhardt, who was confirmed to be the Demon King, he seemed unable to say anything.

Reinhardt’s engagement to Charlotte was probably not a choice or anything, but to seize control of the empire.

The reason why he created the magic research department through Harriet was to make items to strengthen his army.

Then I

what was i

What did Reinhardt want from himself?

If the purpose was to give people such a sense of betrayal and despair, Reinhardt succeeded.

The person I love was actually the son of the demon king who killed my brother.

The demon king’s son approached him even though he knew that.

Was that the revenge Reinhardt was thinking of?

I thought you liked me

I thought you would like me

In fact, did I hate him more than anyone else?

I hated her more than anyone else, because she was the younger sister of the man who killed her father, so I wanted to torment her terribly.

For the sense of betrayal, deprivation, and despair you will feel someday.

Did he mislead himself by spending more time with him than anyone else?

How much do you have to hate to be able to do that?

She didn’t even think that Reinhardt would hate her, and she didn’t feel anything like that.

The Demon King died and Dark Land perished.

There is no reason for a demon king who has lost everything to like himself as well as the empire and mankind.

Reinhardt must have never liked him from the beginning.

I think so.

I think so… … .

“… … .”

It seems like a lie.

If Reinhardt didn’t like me and didn’t like me, countless moments and times that wouldn’t have happened remain as evidence.

I think Reinhardt liked me.

As much as he likes Reinhardt, or more than that.

It seems that Reinhardt also liked him.

That expression, the words we’ve shared so far, and the memories we’ve spent together couldn’t have been lies. There’s no way I can fake those thoughts and words.

I think so.

Reality was full of reasons to hate Reinhardt rather than reasons to like him.

“Black… … . ugh… … .”

Ellen whimpers, her face buried between her knees.

Reinhardt will hate humanity.

Reinhardt will hate the Empire.

And the hero who struck the decisive blow in the collapse of the Dark Land.

You will hate Lagann Artorius.

Therefore, he, his blood relative, will hate and hate him in the same way.

All the moments that I’ve spent so far that seemed too real to be doubted will be lies.

Reinhardt hates me.

Then why didn’t he kill himself?

There must have been plenty of moments when he could have killed himself for becoming too strong.

There must have been many ways to deal with it without using your own hands.

Why did you keep me alive until now?

Why have you been watching me all this time?

Was it because he wanted more to plunge into despair than to kill?

Because death is so easy and convenient.

Was it to make you feel betrayed by the person you love the most who lost everything without dying?

no.

Ellen taught Reinhardt the sword seriously for a very long time.

Reinhardt tried hard on his own, but Ellen’s help helped him to reach the level he is now.

Ellen taught the sword directly to the Demon King.

been used so far.

I didn’t even know he was my enemy and taught me diligently.

Did it really have to be him to teach the sword?

I do not know.

Ellen can’t understand Reinhardt’s mind or the devil’s thoughts.

“… … .”

But Ellen cries.

Because I caught the devil’s tail.

Just like my brother caught the demon king.

He himself captured the Demon King.

They will become famous as brave siblings, but they will leave their names in history because of that.

everything is over

so that.

There was nothing Ellen could do but cry.

-Uh-uhh

Ellen raised her head at the sudden sound.

I didn’t even call it with my heart, but something floated in the air in front of Ellen.

“ramen… … crack?”

The floating sword in front of my eyes was the summoned Moon Sword.

Lament was summoned, but Lament did not look the same as usual.

As if the moon had been cut off, the blade of Rament, the new sword with a terrifying anticipation, was different from usual.

Rament’s sword was stained with darkness.

no, it wasn’t dark.

Ellen could see the twinkling lights shining in the dark blade of Lament.

It’s not dark.

As if a piece of the night sky had been cut off, Lament’s blade was projecting the night sky.

Part of the void in the night or space.

Something like that was being projected onto Lament’s sword body.

“what… … ji?”

Ellen blankly held onto the rament floating in the air.

Flickering starlight, space, and fragments of galaxies were clearly projected in the black blade.

Lament’s condition is tears.

sadness soon.

Rament responded to Ellen’s sadness.

The true power of Rament, the sacred object of Mensis, the moon god.

A fragment of night in the form of a sword.

Ellen was staring blankly at Rament, the void sword.

* * *

Ellen and Charlotte were in great shock and couldn’t get out. Both of them didn’t show their faces in the temple class, and even covering up their wounds was too much for them to do, so they didn’t even bother.

Bertus was trying to deal with this situation in his own way with minimal damage, collecting the remaining discord or clues to ruin, and somehow coping with this situation.

The demon king told him to kill himself.

However, it is not known what the death of the demon king will bring, and Akasha’s whereabouts have not been properly confirmed.

That’s why Bertus was passing the time as if his blood was drying up in a state where he couldn’t use his hands or not.

The actions that Reinhardt has done so far are reinterpreted under the premise that Reinhardt is the Demon King.

Getting closer to Ellen and Charlotte is for revenge.

He sharpened his swordsmanship using Ellen.

He tried to use Charlotte to devour the empire.

The development of power cartridges and moonshine was to strengthen one’s own army.

If so, last.

“The study of dimensional magic… … . What was it… … .”

Bertus said so calmly with Harriet sitting in front of him.

Harriet had the same hopeless expression.

Bertus was spending time on the upper floors of the building where Reinhardt was being held.

It was a dangerous place, but it was as important as it was a dangerous place, so Bertus could not leave it.

So Bertus stayed here, receiving reports on the progress of the situation and calling people to receive information he needed to know.

Reinhardt is in the basement of this building.

In the office on the upper level, Harriet and Bertus were sitting across from each other.

It is clear that there is some misunderstanding, but it is clear that Reinhardt is the Demon Lord. Its appearance was merely transformed by some kind of magic.

Not only Reinhardt’s own confession, but also the eyes and expressions of the lycanthrope captured together, and the screaming every time Reinhardt was subjected to violence, were already enough evidence to the point of overflowing.

Reinhardt is the Demon King.

Harriet could no longer deny that.

Then, what did he mean when he said he was trying to protect everyone?

Was it just a lie to confuse you until the very end?

Harriet, in a state of unsure of this, gave various answers to the questions Bertus had asked so far.

It was Harriot who spoke about the power cartridge and the moonshine.

Bertus asked about the Magic Research Department’s achievements, and he said it with the thought that he couldn’t lie anymore.

Considering that many of the things Reinhardt has done were part of the reconstruction of the Dark Lands and his revenge on mankind, a lot of stories have been found.

But dimensional magic research.

The dimensional magic research that Reinhardt was strangely obsessed with was unknown as to what the intention was.

“At first, you said you were wondering if there was a different world, so you suggested it?”

“… … huh.”

this world.

It was so out of the blue.

However, Harriet was intrigued and started researching this and that, and eventually was able to access the research archive of the Ministry of Magic.

As a result, I started researching warp gates rather than dimensional gates leading to other worlds.

“What were you trying to do by finding another world?”

It was an overly unexpected wish that went beyond being inconsistent for a demon king to do.

Although dismissed as nonsense, Reinhardt had told Bertus about the gate crisis.

A gate avalanche opens and most of humanity dies.

I was trying to stop it.

Of course, Bertus didn’t believe that.

In order to prevent the Gate incident, he traveled to another world.

If that statement is false, what did you really want?

Is it really true that I lost my memory and didn’t know about Akasha?

And Dwyn as the wizard of Cantus Magna whom Harriet met at the Imperial Magic Research Department.

Although his current whereabouts were unknown, it was now certain that he was a person related to Akasha.

“Anyway, this also seems like a story that ends with that Akasha… … .”

Lotwin said Akasha was something that could become a god.

Reinhardt said it was a tool of creation.

If you can create the world with the tools of creation, if you can create the world with your own mind, then it makes sense to become a god.

The previous demon king Valie created a world through Akasha and tried to migrate the demons there.

But Reinhardt had Akasha, but he didn’t know about it until now.

It was a situation where it was impossible to know where and how much was true and where and how much was false.

However, the Demon King told him to kill himself before Akasha could be used for destruction.

If he was going to give up his life so easily, what on earth had he accumulated so far?

“I am… … . I want to believe in Reinhardt… … .”

Harriet spoke in a desperate voice with her lips twisted.

Harriet covered her face with both hands, sobbing, even though she knew she shouldn’t say such a thing here.

I want to believe in Reinhart.

Bertus understood Harriet’s feelings.

If so, how good would it be? How nice it would be if Reinhardt was actually just a nice guy.

But that is impossible.

“Saint-Ouan.”

“Ughhhh… … .”

“I’m sorry to say this, but would you like to listen?”

“huh… … . What do you mean?”

“I am your father… … . I killed the Archduke of Saint-Ouan and destroyed the entire Duchy of Saint-Ouan. They killed and slaughtered the people living there, and even took them as slaves and sold them.”

“… … huh?”

Harriet was taken aback by the sudden rant.

Bertus tapped the table with a firm expression.

“And here is the button.”

“If you press this button, you can return to me what happened to you.”

“The empire will be destroyed, everyone in the imperial family will die, and everything in the empire will disappear.”

“Are you sure you won’t press that button?”

At that, Harriet bit her lip.

Reinhardt is the Demon King, and mankind has taken everything from the Demon King.

Let alone hatred, if there is a mechanism to realize that hatred through destruction, there is no reason why it should not be activated.

It is impossible for a demon king to love mankind.

It is not logical for the demon king to want peace.

Reinhardt is the Demon King.

That’s why I can’t help but hate humanity.

So it is impossible to trust Reinhardt.

As Bertus said, Harriet thinks it is her case.

My father and my entire family were murdered, and everyone in the principality died horribly, and the country itself was pulled out entirely.

The country’s last royal family.

What would Harriet de Saintoine do in such a situation?

You will go mad with vengeance.

It is clear that he will do terrible things to pay back somehow.

Even in my case, I can tell that I would act that way just by thinking about it.

The demon king suffered such a thing from mankind. It is only natural that such a demon king hates mankind.

So wanting to believe in Reinhardt is just a foolish wish that doesn’t fit the situation.

In front of Bertus, who had a hard expression on her face, Harriet couldn’t say that she wanted to trust Reinhardt.

but.

Even so.

‘It hurts.’

at that time.

‘No matter what happens… … . Just remember one thing… … .’

I heard it in my dim consciousness.

Reinhardt’s words.

Harriet still said that.

I wanted to believe.

‘I wanted to save everyone… … .’

Reinhardt’s words seemed to foretell a sad fate.

The earnestness and sorrow that was in those words.

Harriet wanted to believe.
