Why I Quit Being the Demon King - Chapter 235
Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 235
54. Decided to establish a kingdom (1)
“I am!”
I talked to angels and fought with angels.
I thought that Regin himself was at least more knowledgeable about God’s will.
But I couldn’t say that out loud.
At this moment, Regin was able to understand Zeke’s feelings once more.
The truth that Zeke knew and the truth of Seonghwangcheong were not the same.
That’s why he had no choice but to run away. If we fight back, we don’t know how much damage it will inflict.
Regin took a deep breath.
“See you in court. “Because it is clear that the child is not mine.”
Harilde’s face turned bright red.
“You idiot who doesn’t acknowledge children! “I will definitely destroy you!”
The party quickly became noisy due to the sound of whales screaming.
Regin ignored her and walked past the crowd towards Leo Paladin’s quarters.
The night of the banquet.
Regin received an invitation from the royal family.
I knew right away that April had sent it.
With a pounding heart, Regin climbed into the carriage sent by the royal family.
I passed by Huwon and headed to the queen’s residence.
A familiar yet unfamiliar landscape appeared before my eyes.
How many times have you spent the night in the Queen’s chambers? I could no longer feel the dirty and sticky air of that night.
Instead, decorations made with colorful threads filled the room.
Next to the queen’s bed was a small bed, less than half that size.
Shh.
Regin nodded at the queen’s gesture and approached the bed on tiptoe.
I laughed out loud.
Who would have imagined that something so young could look like themselves
?
“It’s a boy.”
“Have you decided on a name?”
“Because the child will become king. I had no choice but to make it without you. Berol. Berol von Verde.”
“Why Verde?”
“Because you can’t call it Pan Holly Beach. Not yet.”
“My mind is clear.”
“I think so. But…
“Is it because of Harilde?”
“No way. “There’s no way a slut like that could have captured your heart.”
Regin let out a short sigh of relief.
“I’m glad you trust me.”
“What happened to you more than that? “Why did you disappear for a year?”
“sorry. I can’t tell you that either. “But… I just know that it has something to do with my brother and sister.”
“The Black Hero and… your older sister?”
“Now don’t call me that in front of me.”
“It looks like you have reconciled?”
“huh. “It was all my fault.”
Regin wiped his face.
April smiled at that sight.
“You’ve really changed a lot.”
“huh?”
“It got softer. “It’s hard to believe they’re the same person.”
Regin saw his child sleeping soundly in bed.
“You have to change. “Because I’m a father now.”
“Are you really going to become the husband of King Verde? No one yet knows who this child’s father is. “Even people who think it’s you
are too scared to speak out.”
“Because you probably think I can’t step forward as the king’s husband.”
“that’s right. Sarani, the dragon who impregnated the queen before marriage. Who could proudly boast of such a decadent and immoral relationship!”
“I don’t care what the world thinks. “Because it ruined my brother.”
“Brother… what kind of person is Zeke when you meet him in person?”
“I’m friends with the devil.”
“…with that accursed being!”
“From what I saw, that demon lord
also had a strange feeling. “It’s so bad that it can’t be summed up simply as evil.”
“no. that.”
“huh’?”
“You must not forgive the demons. I won’t forget who killed my father. “Forever.”
“sorry. “I didn’t mean it that way.”
“Regin.”
“huh?”
“Why don’t you take Harilde as your wife? Don’t care if it’s another man’s child or something. Because it’s common in aristocratic society.
“You can get married and take the woman you like as your lover.”
April continued speaking without taking her eyes off their child, Verol.
“I can spend the rest of my life comfortably, receiving the blessings of Seonghwangcheong. “I wouldn’t be envious of your skills and your family’s reputation.”
“What are you talking about?”
“If you become my husband, you will be attacked by all nobles. “There are many nobles in the Verde Kingdom who do not want to share power with you.”
“I don’t need power.”
“Because not everyone knows you well. They will insist that you are Zeke’s younger brother. “Can you really just accept that so casually?”
Regin laughed.
“That’s a stupid question.”
“huh?”
“There are things in this world that you can’t even imagine, April.”
“I am the King of Verde.”
“The beings I met
were the demon kings, the gods of the dragons who destroyed the Silver Age, the angels and archangels, and the ancient giants who had the most terrifying power since the Golden Age.”
“Doesn’t that sound like a lie? I can’t believe it either. Now, behind the scenes, they are fighting for supremacy in the next century. Depending on the outcome of that fight, humanity may disappear altogether. April I’m not interested in fights between humans anymore. I will reveal that I am your husband and will not get involved in Wang Seong’s power struggle. “It doesn’t matter if I’m away from the kingdom
.”
“Leaving the kingdom? “Then what about Leo Paladin?”
“I’m sure it has a name. “I can’t do it if you fire me, but I won’t quit on my own.”
Regin bent down and kissed the child’s forehead.
“April talk to me and your child. My father is a warrior. Saving this world from threats. “He’s a warrior who doesn’t care about anything other than that.”
“Regin!”
Regin held April tightly in his arms.
He kissed her forehead, her eyes, and whispered.
“Don’t worry. I am not defeated anymore. From anything else.”
Harilde formally reported Regin to the Holy Emperor’s Office.
For the crime of humiliating a woman and making her bear a child.
However, the trial did not proceed properly from the first hearing.
This was because the Verde royal family announced Regin as an official state document.
“Wow, this is really funny.”
Deus flipped through several overlapping pieces of paper and said something.
Zeke, who was organizing the seafood he had bought for dinner, stuck his head out and saw Deus.
“What?”
” newspaper.”
“You mean the one you bought at the city store earlier?”
“huh. “Each of these costs 1 silver, so people cursed me and called me a thief, but it’s more fun than I thought.”
One silver coin was equivalent to one month’s salary for ordinary workers.
Considering the price of a thin bundle of paper, which was a book, it was extremely expensive.
There were some sexy illustrations on a few pages, and most of the rest was filled with interesting news from around the world.
Signy, who was helping Zeke prepare for the business, also joined the conversation.
“What’s so funny?”
“Ah, this happened in the Verdean capital.”
“You mean Acoma?”
Deus nodded in response to SIGNI’s question.
“that’s right. “You lived there for a few months, right?”
“yes. “Regin also stayed at the South Warbler Pavilion, about 5 kilometers south of the capital.”
“It looks like Seonghwangcheong has been built there now. “Several large temples were built in 10 years.”
“It’s worth it. “Because Neuekan is no longer inhabitable.” “Anyway
, there is a trial going on in Verde right now .
“Here, I am from the Erion Federation, open the H-shaped parenthesis, close the parenthesis of the warrior’s family, and say that I am the party who brought the lawsuit, and the other party is also a warrior, but he tricked me into getting pregnant during the war.”
“If you say war, do you mean what happened this time?”
“It seems like that. Anyway, the other person is a warrior named R, and he is denying having a relationship with a woman. Rather, it is said that the person he was in love with was the queen, and the Verde royal family recently announced him as a national letter.”
“Oh, Gukseo-myeon is the queen’s husband. “What on earth happened?”
Unlike Signy, who showed curiosity with round eyes, Zeke’s expression changed to an earthy color.
“It was announced in a national document?”
“huh. “I heard that’s true?”
“…Signi.”
“yes? Brother.”
“I’m telling you in advance that you’ll find out later anyway, so don’t be surprised.”
“What?”
“That hero named R…
“Does your brother know someone?”
“huh. I know. “Signi knows it well.”
Deus, who was reading a few more lines of the newspaper, added:
“It looks like this Huey guy has already had sex with the queen and had a baby. “It’s already been 100 days since the baby was born.”
“…It’s Regin.”
Zeke hesitated before opening his mouth. I was afraid of what Deus would say more.
Afterwards,
there might have been more detailed information about the ‘match between the queen and the warrior’.
“Why Regin?”
“I mean the national book. “It’s Regin.”
” yes’?”
“It looks like the Queen and Regin… made a baby.”
Signi smiled. Immediately after that, I fell backwards while laughing.
Zeke was surprised and hugged Signy.
I fainted.
Deus laughed at that sight.
“Except for you, the Holly Beach siblings already have a child.”
“One of them is Mr. Deus.”
“Oops!”
Signy soon came to his senses.
“Brother, what does that mean?”
“I told you not to be surprised.”
“How can I not be surprised? Regin has a child. That child’s mother is a queen! “When did you find out about that?”
“You told me this before, right before we broke up. “Sign said it was embarrassing to tell you.”
“But you should have told me! I have a nephew! I want to go see it right away. But…
“We’re wanted.”
“that’s right. “I committed a crime against Seonghwangcheong.” Signi made a sullen expression.
“You’ll see it someday.”
“Someday is too far away. Migo had a younger brother. “I want to tell that child right away.”
“Migo is in the demon world right now.”
“ah! “We are all part of Holy Jade, but why are we so scattered that we can’t even see each other?”
Deus suddenly opened his mouth at Signi’s lament.
“But what is this Ms. H? “Is Regin really flirting with this woman?”
“Probably not!”
Deus shrugged his shoulders at what SIGNI had shouted.
“I haven’t even checked. Besides, Regin is sixteen now, right? Even if you wrap a skirt around a stone statue, you’re at the age where you’ll bow your head to look underneath. “If a woman approached me first, would you have taken off your clothes?”
“Because it’s not! “Regin is a pure child.”
“It must have been like that 10 years ago.”
Signi pouted and her cheeks bulged.
Deus opened his mouth again.
“If we start a trial like this with a noble, it will be chaos. What will you do well? “Because he’s not as naive as your siblings.”
Deus turned the page. An illustration of a naked woman filled one page.
“It’s worth 1 silver.”
“Bad quality!”
Signy sat down on the floor again with a red face and prepared seafood.
Zeke scratched his cheek in the middle and spoke to Deus.
“Today is the last time you do business in this castle, right?”
“huh. why’?”
“no. “I was wondering where to go next.”
“Is there somewhere you want to go?”
“Zorix Castle.”
“Not there.” “I know. Someone
might
recognize me .”
“Well, it’s been 11 years, and your face has changed quite a bit, so you may be skeptical, but there’s no benefit in having your whereabouts revealed.”
“I know.”
