The Demon Prince goes to the Academy - Chapter 574

Chapter 574

I always had the choice of whether or not to meet Bertus.

Bertus knows I’m helping the Allied advance, but he has no idea of my whereabouts, and I can always predict where Bertus will be.

Bertus must be living in three places.

Tetra, the central palace of the imperial castle.

Allied Garrison General Headquarters.

And now.

“Are you sure it’s a spot where you can see it?”

“Yes obviously… … . I see.”

The magic university research building in front of me.

Bertus must be going to and from one of these three places.

Because the imperial palace is the imperial palace, and the Allied Garrison is the Allied Garrison.

And since a very important research project is underway in the Magic University Research Building, it is certain that he will visit from time to time to check the situation.

“The outside is so heavily guarded, but it must be more difficult to get inside.”

No matter how much Sarkegar is, it’s not possible.

“Still, I’d rather you risk it… … .”

“it’s okay. How long do I have to ask you to do everything for me?”

“Yes, but… … .”

Regardless of whether it is possible or not, it is also overly risky. It’s not that I didn’t have the heart to just in case, but since the Black Order was involved, the desire to send Sarkegar had long since disappeared.

That doesn’t mean that Sarkegar has nothing to do.

Sarkegar will wait for Bertus to appear nearby.

“Anyway, just like Bertus doesn’t attack me, you won’t attack either. Approach Bertus when he appears here. And tell me I have something to say. Then we can talk separately… … .”

before you even speak.

I could see Bertus and Saviolin Tana leaving the research building from afar.

That I was able to spot them right away was more of a coincidence than it would have meant that the emperor frequented that place.

“The effort has been reduced.”

“majesty… … . One more thought… … .”

“are you okay.”

You can be okay even when things go wrong.

Leaving the concerned Sarkegar behind, I started approaching the Magic University Research Building.

* * *

Emperor Bertus doesn’t like to have a lot of troops with him.

Although not averse to protocol, Bertus ascended the throne in a difficult time. Since it was a time when it was impossible to take care of each and every one of them, protocols had to disappear or be reduced to an excessive extent.

However, it does not mean that they do not bring ‘many’ troops with them, but that they do not place any importance on security.

Most of the time, Bertus moved with Saviolin Tana. As for the guard, it’s not enough, it’s to the point of overflowing.

When you go to a place where confidentiality must be maintained, of course you can’t take many people with you. So when Bertus moves, Saviolin Tana is always in charge of everything as security.

As a result, Saviolin Tana went beyond the head of Chanapel and also served as the Emperor’s personal secretary to some extent.

Of course, when the allied forces are marching or there is a battle, of course others take the place of the guard, but now Bertus was moving with Saviolin Tana in the midst of a terrible attack.

So, after stopping by the research building, Bertus was on his way back to the imperial palace with Tana.

The streets were empty and tidy as there were few people inside the Temple, but only Bertus and Saviolin Tana were walking the dreary streets.

“It’s going smoothly.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“It would be a problem if it was too smooth.”

When Bertus smiled wryly, Tana couldn’t find anything to say with a hard expression.

“Anyway, I didn’t think those three would produce results this quickly… … .”

Bertus sighs.

“No matter how many people gathered from all over the continent, the 2nd year Royal Class is surprisingly special.”

Adelia, who created Titan and Power Cartridges.

Christina, the creator of Moonshine.

And Louis Ancton and Anna de Guerna.

Emperor.

princess.

Warrior.

and the demon king.

There are many bizarrely outstanding people in the second year of the Royal Class. To the point where I feel some powerful destiny.

“By the way, what about Ludwig?”

“ah… … .”

Saviolin Tana’s complexion deteriorated.

“That is… … . He seems to be having a hard time adjusting.”

“… … I think I was short-tempered.”

After thinking about what Ludwig would experience in the guard, Bertus couldn’t help but wonder if it was a mistake to assign Ludwig to the guard.

Bertus also has a lot of work to do. That’s why he cared about Ludwig, but he couldn’t give him detailed consideration.

“Maybe I’d rather be in charge of the training camp.”

“I’ll ask Ludwig’s doctor.”

“Yes and this time… … .”

-Cat

Bertus stopped talking at the sound of a cat coming from somewhere.

Neither Tana nor Bertus could do anything but stare at the black cat standing still in the middle of a wide, empty street.

“hmm… … . that one?”

“It’s a cat.”

– The

black cat slowly approaches the emperor.

“It’s not just a cat, it’s that. Sir Tana.”

“If you say so… … ?”

“It’s Ellen’s cat.”

“ah… … .”

“I couldn’t help it at the garrison, but I don’t know if it’s right to release it like this at the temple. I don’t want to be locked up, I understand… … .”

“Ugh. I’ve never had a cat, so I don’t know… … .”

It’s even more strange if Saviolin Tana, who has lived with a sword all her life, knows how to raise a cat.

“Anyway, you’ve come this far from the dormitory. Do you want to know the way back?”

I met a cat wandering around in an unexpected place.

Did the cat roam such a wide area? Bertus did not know.

However, the black cat approaches Bertus.

Last time, as soon as he saw Bertus, he struggled and tried to run away, but it was strange.

Bertus crouches down as he watches the approaching cat.

He might be lost, and Ellen could be worried.

“For now, it seems appropriate to take her to the dormitory… … .”

The moment Bertus reaches out to pick up the cat.

suddenly.

The cat’s body began to change.

-Kuruk

“!”

“your majesty! Dangerous!”

Saviolin Tana pulled Bertus wildly, widening the distance.

The cat turns into something.

And Bertus, as well as Saviolin Tana, lost their senses when they saw something that took shape in an instant.

“hmm… … . If I had to ask, it wasn’t for a long time.”

black cat.

“long time no see. yes?”

Demon King Reinhardt appeared.

* * *

Ellen’s cat suddenly turned into Reinhardt.

I don’t know why, why, or what the purpose is.

Even if you can’t understand the situation, only what you see in front of your eyes is the truth.

Saviolin Tana, whose complexion was pale, pulled out her flurry sword while hiding Bertus behind her.

“for a moment. Do not approach any more.”

The vigilant Saviolin Tana’s expression was tinged with fear, though not hostile.

Saviolin Tana wasn’t the only one baffled by the unexpected situation.

“Reinhardt… … ?”

Bertus also swallowed, frightened by the situation unfolding in front of him.

“I know you’re shocked, but you know I’m not here to fight. Then it wouldn’t have appeared like this.”

If you were going to kill him, there were many better ways.

There is a good reason for showing it openly.

“I wish we could talk in a quiet place. long time.”

Just as time has changed many things, Reinhardt has also changed.

“If you stay outside for a long time like this, you will have problems. you know?”

It was crazy to walk around the temple in the form of Reinhardt even though it was a street without a single person.

Bertus looked at Reinhardt who suddenly appeared with a hard expression on his face.

“your majesty… … .”

Saviolin Tana also stares at the emperor with a confused expression.

“okay. Anywhere is fine, so let’s go in.”

It was the same with the emperor that there was nothing good to see if someone saw the demon king appearing at the temple.

* * *

Bertus and Tana know best that the Demon King is helping mankind. That’s why I know that the demon king, who suddenly revealed his identity in this situation, did not come to fight.

Most of Temple’s buildings were empty, including schools and shops.

That’s why I went into the building that used to be a cafe on the second floor of an empty shopping mall nearby.

The door was locked, but it didn’t matter to everyone in the room in the first place.

The lock on the closed door was cut off with a blade and the three sat down.

The tables and chairs were dusty, but none of them cared.

All you need is space anyway.

“There is something I want to tell you. Let’s not bring it up because it’s not important and I don’t want to talk about it.”

Looking at the calm Reinhardt’s face, Bertus couldn’t help but know how Reinhardt had changed over the past time, even if he didn’t know anything else.

more brazen than before.

“okay… … . let’s say so I don’t think I have any idea what the reason is.”

I would have liked to watch Ellen.

He also learned why Ellen had a seizure when she tried to entrust the cat to the Emperor.

Reinhardt muttered quietly with his arms crossed.

“Let’s not even talk about the past. Words like who did what and where did something go wrong.”

Talking about mistakes is meaningless.

Talking about each other’s responsibilities now that only the reality to be faced is in front of us only makes the situation creaky.

The Demon King warned that if he did not release himself, his subordinates would cause a gate situation, but the Emperor did not release the Demon King.

So the gate avalanche happened.

But there is no point in discussing him now.

We have problems we face and we have work to solve.

Everything is meaningless except for focusing on it.

At Reinhardt’s words, Bertus nodded.

“You know we were clearing the way before the Allies. yes?”

“okay. I knew.”

Bertus looked at Reinhardt and asked.

“Can you really manipulate weather phenomena?”

“On a limited basis.”

Reinhardt didn’t bother to say that it was Liana de Granz’s superpower.

Bertus and Tana’s expression hardened when they heard that the impossible was possible for any wizard.

“are you okay. If you were going to use that power to destroy mankind, you know what would have happened a long time ago, right?”

“… … .”

“… … .”

If the Demon King goes on a rampage in the middle of the ecliptic when the allied force is committed, the ecliptic will be devastated.

However, knowing that it might happen now and actually confirming that the demon king could do it if he made up his mind are two different things.

Humanity should have perished long ago if not for the mercy of the demon king.

However, most people hate the demon lord without even knowing this fact.

If you think about it a little bit, you will know that one day is enough for the demon king to truly annihilate mankind, but no one thinks of that.

If the devil threatens the emperor with the survival of mankind now, the reality of the empire and mankind is that they have to listen to whatever they say.

However, the Demon King has never interfered with mankind in such a way until now.

“My sudden visit is not a new threat or blackmail. I just came to ask you something.”

Reinhardt asked quietly.

“One of our main forces is the Death Knight. This time, during the Battle of Serandia, a lot of it was consumed. That’s why I tried to make up for it last time.”

At those words, both Tana and Bertus listened to Reinhardt in silence.

“That’s why I tried to revive him as a Death Knight in the Hall of Heroes in the Imperial Mausoleum.”

“… … what?!”

At those words, Bertus and Tana couldn’t help but be startled. He would have been shocked to hear that he had tried to break into the imperial mausoleum in an unexpected situation.

“The method is a secret, but I went in anyway.”

Even without them knowing, they had already been pierced.

Bertus listened blankly to the story with his complexion white.

“but… … . As you know, all the coffins are empty.”

“Is it only the imperial mausoleum? I also confirmed that the bodies of those who died in the Allied Forces are swapped and buried in the National Cemetery.”

“Just like we tried to make Death Knight, it seems like the Empire is doing weird things… … . I don’t know.”

“Rather than making contact, I tried to find out secretly, but it seemed like there would be a limit to it. That’s why I came here myself.”

“You shouldn’t do that. I don’t mean to say that you shouldn’t do that. Because I am doing something similar.”

“But you need to know what is what. Because me and my people are very anxious. You guys might even be allying with some of my enemies.”

“There are only two things I want to ask.”

The demon king gazes at the emperor.

“What are you doing at the Temple of Magic College?”

reality of research.

“Is it true that you all joined hands with the Black Order?”

and a suspicious alliance.

“I have to explain.”

The devil asked two things.

What is the ongoing research at the Temple College of Magic?

And is it true that he joined hands with the Black Order?

Silence flows.

Tana couldn’t open her mouth before Bertus, so the demon king was only looking at Bertus.

I don’t know if it’s before the demon king approaches, but the demon king asks openly like this.

I don’t know if it was before he did that, but since the demon king himself came out, silence is impossible.

“I knew you were watching us, but… … . It’s a little strange to know that, but yes.”

Bertus said that with a wry smile.

“that’s right. We are doing something with the dead and the bodies of our heroes.”

Bertus nodded slowly.

“But I don’t know what you mean about the Black Order.”

“… … okay?”

The demon king quietly looked at the emperor’s expression.

It is difficult to read the true intentions from the facial expressions.

Whether that’s ignorance or the truth, you can’t tell just by looking at the face.

“He didn’t cooperate with the Black Order, at least as far as I know.”

Saying that, the Emperor shrugged.

“There is no need to doubt it. You know that?”

“what.”

“In order to end the Gate incident, there was no way I could hold the Black Order’s hand when I touched the body and fell in love. Even if they were the ones who tried to kill you.”

It’s strange that something is possible and something isn’t when you’re already doing terrible things.

“If the Black Order had come, would you have joined hands?”

“okay. But never. And if we held hands, I don’t think there would be any benefit to me in deceiving you in this situation in the first place.”

“Hmm… … .”

Just like Bertus said.

At the point of touching everything that could be helpful, there was nothing that the empire could not hold in the hands of the Black Order. Looking at the demon king with a worried expression, Bertus smiled bitterly.

“People don’t believe me when I tell the truth.”

Bertus smiled bitterly, saying that people doubt when you tell the truth.

“Once we can show you what we’ve been doing.”

As if that was a little unexpected, the demon king looked slightly surprised.
