The Demon Prince goes to the Academy - Chapter 535

Chapter 535

Heinrich froze as he saw Reinhardt who had entered his barracks before he knew it.

The demon king is like a curse on mankind.

It is difficult for Heinrich to believe that Reinhardt of the Temple and the demon king hated by the public are the same being, but it is not that it is not true.

Reinhardt is the Demon King.

And the devil is behind all of this.

Knowing that, Heinrich couldn’t help but be confused.

Why was Reinhardt the person who sent the letter in front of me at this moment?

“It must be a cushion of thorns.”

As if he knew everything about the situation, Reinhardt said it without hesitation.

“I’m not going to have a long conversation, so I’ll keep it short.”

“If you die here, it’s a problem, and if you kill someone, it’s a problem. You know that, right?”

“Follow me.”

“Once you follow me, I will explain the other problems step by step.”

“What happened so far?”

“What are you going to do next?”

“About what you can do.”

It’s not a relationship where you can have a long conversation, and you can’t.

Heinrich couldn’t help but freeze when he faced Reinhardt again, whom he never thought he would see.

How did he know that he would die, where the hell was he watching me, and where did he hear that he was an illegitimate child?

However, Reinhardt appeared after Heinrich confirmed that he was an illegitimate child.

As if I was waiting for this moment.

The moment he intuits that he has no place in the Allied Forces and that he will soon be killed, he appears and extends his hand.

to leave the allied forces.

Heinrich did not think that the moment would come when he could face Reinhardt again.

But I did imagine that.

In despair that is too much to call a tragedy created by countless deaths and gate incidents everywhere.

why did you do this

Did you hate humans that much?

No matter how much humans destroyed your world, did you have to go this far?

I don’t know you well, but the you I saw wasn’t this kind of guy.

Was it all masks and fakes?

Was he hiding this vengeance behind a mask?

However, when Reinhardt appeared in front of him, Heinrich couldn’t ask anything.

I didn’t even think that I could become a hero of mankind if I killed the demon king right here.

I couldn’t think of anything other than the topic given by Reinhardt.

You can live by following Reinhardt.

Reinhardt’s expression as if there was a reason for everything.

From that expression, Heinrich still doesn’t know much about Reinhardt, but he knows one thing.

Reinhardt at the Temple.

Reinhardt was a bully, but never a villain.

I have a feeling that it was just the truth.

Wasn’t the choice of the gods wrong?

I don’t know if there was any reason why it had to be like this.

He was convinced that his brothers wanted to kill him and that someday they would.

Therefore, he has no place of his own in the Kernstadt Army.

As Bertus said, even if you belong to the General Headquarters, you cannot escape the influence of the Kernstadt Army anyway.

As long as the fact that he came from the Schwarz family doesn’t change, and the fact that he’s an illegitimate child doesn’t change.

Brothers will try to exclude themselves someday.

That now felt like an established fact to Heinrich.

If you hold the devil’s hand, you become a traitor to humanity.

For some reason, the three people betrayed humanity and sided with the Demon King.

Olivia Ranche Heriot de Saintoine as Liana de Granz.

Heinrich von Schwarz is added to the names of the three.

Heinrich was well aware of how the Archduke of Saint-Ouan was treated as he devoted himself to this war more than anyone else.

If you stand on the side of the devil, and if it is revealed that you are on the side of the devil, the Schwartz family will be treated the same as the Grand Duchess of Saint-Ouan.

A family with a traitor among blood relatives.

The prestige of the Schwartz family will fall into the abyss.

plural.

Is there such a revenge for the brothers who have been despised and ignored because they are illegitimate children?

No matter what they dream of, isn’t the fall of the image of the royal family due to the betrayal of the illegitimate son?

“… … .”

Heinrich stares at Reinhardt waiting for his answer in silence.

Standing on the devil’s side guarantees one’s own survival and can bring a great sense of humiliation to the brothers. Since they value honor more than life, they have despised themselves as illegitimate children.

The fact that there is a traitor in the Schwartz family would be a huge political blow to the royal family.

It would be laughable to tell the truth that Heinrich von Schwarz was, in fact, an illegitimate son, not a descendant. I’ve been using it as best I can until now.

“I won’t tell you to make a quick decision. It is not a matter to be decided in haste.”

Reinhardt leans against one of the posts in the barracks and is silent with his arms crossed.

I don’t know if he doesn’t even think he’s going to attack or if he has the confidence to deal with him even if he gets attacked.

Reinhardt gives Heinrich time to think.

I think it’s right to follow the devil.

If Reinhardt had a reason to do something like this, and it was reasonable.

If this happened not out of malice, but through a chain of unavoidable events.

Even in the midst of this, Reinhardt was only trying to save Heinrich’s life by entering a place that could be called enemy territory.

Even though they weren’t close friends, he was trying to save them.

If that goodwill is true, there is no reason not to hold the devil’s hand.

If the more you stay in the Allied Forces, the more dangerous it becomes, because you have to do something else in a different place and you can feed the Schwarz family who have turned away from you.

but.

The king’s family is the king’s family.

people are people

The Schwartz family and the Kernstadt army occupying a large axis of the allied forces.

Just as the Archduke of Saint-Ouan is pointed at by his daughter for betraying him and goes to war as punishment without being acknowledged for his devotion.

The wizards of the Duchy of Saint-Ouan were being treated the same way.

The people must also bear the guilt of the monarch’s family.

If it is known that Heinrich sided with the Demon King, not only the Schwartz family but the entire Kernstadt army will be guilty.

Regardless of whether or not the demon lord had any circumstances, that would only be the story of those in the know.

The Cernstadt army will be treated the same as the Archduke Saint-Ouan and his wizards.

That will soon lead to the division of the allied forces beyond morale. Even inside the Kernstadt Army, there will be a lot of people who are trembling with a tremendous sense of betrayal.

It might not be known that he was on the side of the demon king, but it might be known that he just deserted.

Still, morale is unavoidable.

Heinrich is the hero of the Kernstadt army.

Just like Ellen, heroes are valuable just by existing.

There are things you have to carry.

Even if his brothers tried to kill him, even if they were too shortsighted to do it.

You can’t betray people.

You can’t leave people’s belief in you and those who find hope in you.

Heinrich doesn’t ask Reinhardt much.

I had a lot to ask, but it became pointless.

Reinhardt came to save himself.

If so, what choice will you make?

“As you know, a lot has changed since before.”

“… … .”

“I am no longer the flint you used to ridicule.”

Reinhardt smiled at the rather arrogant remark.

“Yeah, not so much anymore.”

Heinrich can return the words Reinhardt used to laugh at him in the past.

That much time has passed.

It is not a flint, but now it has superpowers enough to burn a huge mountain.

Some people fear Heinrich as much as their strength has strengthened, while others find hope in Heinrich.

“So now I don’t have a light butt like I used to be able to do this and that no matter what you say.”

“Well, you’ve been pretty well off topic.”

To Heinrich, Reinhardt, who returned the stone of evil to the malevolent answer, did not seem to have changed from before.

“I can’t go. I have to do my own thing.”

In response, Reinhardt stared into Heinrich’s eyes.

“My words that it is a problem whether you die or die. Did I understand you correctly?”

“I understand.”

Even if you are killed.

Killing is a problem.

You do your own thing on your own.

In the end, everything is bound to cause problems.

Even if it is killed, it is a problem. Even if it is killed, it is a problem.

Even if you follow the devil, there is a problem in the end.

If everything is a problem, Heinrich only chooses a certain problem.

“Yes, if that’s your choice, then there’s nothing you can do about it.”

If he had been Reinhardt in the past, he would have used coercion if things didn’t work out as judged.

“Is there a corner where you are different from before?”

At Heinrich’s sarcasm while laughing, Reinhardt laughed.

“Are you the only one?”

To that sarcasm, Reinhardt returned the same sarcasm.

Also, it was surprising that Heinrich faced Reinhardt in this situation and in this situation, but there was something he was curious about.

Although it is so out of the blue that it is different from the truth.

“… … Have you been drinking?”

Somehow, in the darkness, Reinhardt swayed and seemed a bit confused.

I had such a strange feeling.

At Heinrich’s question, Reinhardt shook his head.

“It’s not alcohol… … . something like that… … . It’s done anyway.”

As if trying to come to his senses, Reinhardt widened his eyes.

“Live as long as you can.”

Leaving those words behind, Reinhardt disappeared into the darkness. Heinrich couldn’t figure out how he had disappeared.

“… … .”

Reinhardt, who suddenly appeared, suddenly disappeared.

It was only then that Heinrich realized what nonsense he had been through.

The demon king came to visit him.

I offered to help and declined.

Is this true of what happened in real life?

Heinrich couldn’t help but be dazed for a while.

* * *

A place far from the Allied garrison. Scouts don’t come this far.

“How was it?”

“You said you would do it yourself?”

“Um… … . By what means?”

“I don’t know.”

Sarkegar narrowed his eyes at my words after leaving the garrison.

Drunk with catnip, I was lost in the Royal Class Garrison, but Sarkegar reported that something seemed to have happened.

It was an indescribable feeling of hell.

It’s good, but it makes me feel bad.

I live and live and the day when I get drunk with catmint is coming. And why did Anna, that crazy bitch, even ask for supplies for this garrison?

anyway.

The story has already risen to the surface and the situation is about to rise rapidly.

And Heinrich declined my offer to join.

I was worried about how to deal with him if he tried to attack, but luckily that didn’t happen.

Heinrich, who confirmed with his own eyes, had changed.

There was nothing like the arrogant, arrogant, and arrogant youngest prince of Kernstadt.

I don’t know if people have no choice but to change after going through this kind of thing, or if there was some other reason.

If it was just an arrogant choice, I would have used coercive means.

Heinrich seemed to think of other people besides himself.

He seemed to think that he might have a role in the Allied Forces.

I don’t know if Heinrich’s choice was just reckless or not.

It’s just that I can somehow cope with the things that will happen in the future.

Do nothing.

Did the scribe’s advice mean that even if I tried to help Heinrich, Heinrich would refuse, so my actions were meaningless?

“What would you like to do?”

At Sarkegar’s words, I crossed my arms.

Even if they were already at odds, they were firmly at odds.

Heinrich confirmed that he was an illegitimate child, and the other brothers recognized it as well, so their fear of each other would soon be revealed as aggression.

Heinrich could die, or rather, the guy could kill him.

Is the division of the allied forces planned anyway?

Was it right to bring Heinrich by force?

I can not know.

But Heinrich was different.

It’s a decision made by a different guy.

He became a guy who can think of more things than just surviving.

But can that change guarantee Heinrich’s survival?

There are variables, but those variables are too small and, in the end, not enough to change the environment.

As long as Heinrich remains in the allied forces, that variable cannot prevent the event that will happen.

No, another thing could happen that Heinrich murdered his brothers, and that would eventually cause another problem.

If Heinrich survives and the other brothers die, confusion in the allied forces will unfold as planned.

Is it right to ignore it?

The scribe’s advice to do nothing makes sense.

It must have been that Heinrich would refuse my help.

Then other advice.

How did Heinrich survive?

that vague advice.

I still don’t know what that means.

what the heck does that mean?

“… … Let’s watch for now.”

Extreme situations should be avoided.

Heinrich refused to help, but I will continue to monitor the situation.

* * *

The fourth day since the capture of Senkerians.

The allied forces were rearranging for the next march and at the same time revising their plans for future advances.

On the way to the next destination, abnormal weather occurred again and the story that the monsters were almost exterminated had already been communicated to the General Headquarters.

Because of such things that most people do not know, the Allied Forces did not have to deploy troops as usual for forward search, reconnaissance, and annihilation.

That’s why a considerable number of troops were able to conserve their stamina.

The problem of battle fatigue is also a very important issue in maintaining the military’s combat capability.

Due to the cooperation of the Demon King, the allied forces were receiving enormous help in maintaining military power in a significant part.

Among those beneficiaries were Saviolin Tana and Ellen Artorius, not to mention the psychics from the Temple.

That’s why Heinrich von Schwarz was also taking a break because he hadn’t received any requests for operational input after the occupation of Senkerian.

But could this really be a break for Heinrich von Schwarz?

I found out the truth that I didn’t want to know that I was an illegitimate child.

And I faced an existence that should never be here.

As the brothers fell apart, the atmosphere like a plate of thin ice continued.

Still, Heinrich had been trying to be as polite as possible to his brothers until now. Although the brothers maintained a cold, contemptuous, or sarcastic attitude, there was no lack of conversation.

But the silence between the brothers was brutal.

Brothers know each other.

The fact that four months will fly soon.

It started with Louise von Schwarz.

The fifth day of the Senkerian occupation.

Soon before the march, Louise von Schwarz called all her brothers together.

“They say the safety of the area near Senkerian is ‘assured’. Even days like this will end once we start marching, so let’s look around.”

“… … .”

“There are stories to be sorted out.”

Heinrich nodded at Louise’s words while looking at him.

Talk about topics that are difficult to mention casually.

Heinrich nodded with a firm expression.

* * *

The Senkerian neighborhood was certainly monster-free.

Since there is no one to live in, the city will not be rebuilt, but the decrease in the number of warp gates is meaningful in itself.

Without any vassals or escorts, the Schwarz family’s brothers rode horses to inspect the vicinity of Senkerian.

It was an inspection, but it was no different from a walk.

Actually, the purpose is not important. It’s just that I came out to tell a story that can’t be told in a place where there are many ears to hear.

Is it really just a story?

Heinrich draws a picture in his head.

It’s true that the other brothers can also handle weapons, but from Heinrich’s point of view, it doesn’t mean much.

The threat is Louise von Schwartz.

A genius with an overwhelming intellect and leader of the Kernstadt Royal Knights.

On top of that, he himself is a skilled player who has already been in the master class a long time ago.

If she tries to kill herself, can you deal with it?

Heinrich knows that Louise von Schwarz is not afraid to jump into battle and wield a sword.

Having watched the battle between Ellen and Saviolin Tana many times, I know how threatening the existence of a master class is.

Heinrich’s physical capabilities were not very high.

If Louise von Schwartz draws her sword and tries to kill herself, she can kill herself without much trouble.

only problem after that.

How to explain the sudden death of Heinrich von Schwarz and how to solve the problems including the slump in morale caused by it.

A life that is too important does not disappear easily.

That’s why his brothers can’t use their hands easily.

So there is little chance that Louise will try to kill herself during the walk.

The area around Senkerian has already been cleared.

The excuse that monsters appeared and attacked and killed Heinrich would not work at all.

So, Louise von Schwarz can’t use her hands.

Maybe in another place, in a different way, but not today.

However, Louise von Schwarz, saying that they were going to have a conversation, said nothing, only leading the horse in the front.

Both Alphonse and German didn’t say anything until their sister spoke first.

How long have you gone in silence?

“… … ?”

Louise got off her horse in front of a ruined building.

“Get down.”

A spacious building presumably used as a farmhouse’s warehouse.

It was the same that Heinrich, as well as the other brothers, were confused as to whether there had been anything discussed in advance.

Looking at the entrance of the dark warehouse, Heinrich couldn’t help but harden his expression.

I thought no.

Are you willing to put up with any noise?

Do you think of yourself as such a big threat?

Heinrich silently watches as the other brothers get off their horses with meaningful smiles.

“Didn’t you tell me to get off?”

Louise stares at Heinrich with a cold gaze.

“… … yes.”

If a fight breaks out, where does it start?

Heinrich got off the horse, feeling his heart beating like it would explode.

Was it right to follow Reinhardt?

I thought so, but it doesn’t make any sense anymore.

It’s just stupid to regret the hand you didn’t hold.

Do I have to die in order to live?

If you’re going to do it, isn’t it better to go first?

You must subdue Louise von Schwartz before the other brothers.

Your opponent is looking behind you.

If you use your hands, there is no moment more than now.

Heinrich quietly followed behind and tried to use his ability.

Because if you don’t want to die, you have to die.

“… … ?”

However, once he entered the warehouse, Heinrich couldn’t help but lose his temper.

There were people in the warehouse.

“… … !”

“This is… … ?”

A total of five people with their limbs bound and gagged.

Five people were kneeling in a warehouse, tied up.

Louise von Schwarz draws her sword.

“Alphonse. German.”

Louise von Schwarz stares at them.

“Who are they? will you find out?”

“who… … . sister.”

“Sister, why are they here… … .”

Heinrich didn’t know who the people who were tied up on their knees were. But Alphonse and German seemed clear to know.

Louise von Schwarz draws the sword from her waist.

Then, with a cold gaze, he looks down at the five people who are tied up and trembling in fear.

– Squeak!

A sword imbued with blue magic mercilessly cut down one person’s throat.

Heinrich couldn’t help but stare at the blood welling up from his severed neck.

“I am the youngest.”

Louise, who had cut the head of one person, looked at Heinrich with a calm gaze.

Heinrich, as well as Alphonse and German, do not know what is going on.

“You are an illegitimate child.”

– Squeak!

The second person’s neck falls off.

– Wow! Woooooooo!

Seeing that two people’s heads were cut in an instant and blood was pouring out, those who saw them began to weep like animals while gagged.

But Louise doesn’t stop.

Without looking at the dying, Louise looks at Heinrich.

bastard is right

that has already been confirmed Why do you have to tell the story again?

“By the way, do you know whose illegitimate son he is?”

Louise slams the sword into the third scruff of her neck and speaks.

“who… … sir?”

“sister… … ? What are you talking about… … .?”

At that, Alphonse as well as German couldn’t hide their bewilderment.

A strange sound that I can’t understand at all.

Strange words that don’t fit the situation.

Heinrich was lost.

“I am the youngest. You are an illegitimate child.”

“who… … . sister… … ?”

Heinrich’s lips turned blue.

“Not my father, but my illegitimate son.”

– Squeak!

Louise, who struck the fourth and fifth necks in succession, looked at Heinrich.

“You are my son.”

Louise looks at German and Alphonse.

“Yeah, you wouldn’t know. I deliberately hid it so you wouldn’t know. Because I had to hide it… … . Because that was the promise I made with my father… … . He kept it a secret so that he would not kill Heinrich. couldn’t tell anyone So Alphonse German. I had no choice but to force myself to match your rhythm… … . Yes, it has always been that way… … .”

Louise stares at her brothers with sad eyes.

“however.”

“Gear nose.”

“Finish.”

“You tried very hard to kill my son.”

“You two.”

The dead were assassins secretly ordered to kill Heinrich in these few days.

“I thought you guys wouldn’t do something like this. No matter how much I hate it, no matter how much I hate it, I thought I wouldn’t do something like that… … .”

Heinrich was bewildered, and Alphonse and German, who learned the truth about their illegitimate son, turned pale as they met their sister’s cold stare.

“I have to kill you, the youngest… … . no Heinrich. If only my son could live. I have to do that now. I can’t stand watching any longer.”

“Sister, something is wrong. Something… … . Something.”

“It’s nonsense. Nonsense! What is this… … . what are you trying to do… … !”

Louise von Schwarz.

“I have to admit that to protect someone you have to kill someone.”

A sword master approaches his brother.

“Even if it’s my blood brothers.”

Heinrich was staring at the brutal execution with a lost expression.
