The Demon King’s Seal Has Been Broken

34 – Unforgiving Princess [Intuition] – 3

The princess sitting in the office of the imperial palace, her expression was very nervous.

The current empire was in a situation where the demon king invaded. It was because I couldn’t stand it because I was so curious about the fortress city that was blocking the devil, what happened to that fortress city.

What would be the fate of the fortified city? Did the demon king penetrate the fortress city?

It was a very important agenda for the current princess, and she was very curious about the outcome.

Even though he asked his secretary to be the first to tell him about the fortress city, he had no choice but to wait for the result.

That’s because the fortress city was such an important place to both the princess and the empire.

‘I’m sure General Max will protect the fortress city…’

Of course, the princess had no doubts about General Max.

He was a general who had defended the fortress city for 60 years and never allowed an invasion of demons.

I fully believe he will do a good job defending the fortified city.

And he knew all too well the reputation of the Empire’s fortress city.

An imperial shield that has never been pierced by demons for 700 years.

Of course, I think that this time too, it will be the same as in the past 700 years.

As always, an incident of this magnitude would end in a minor incident, and the Empire would last as it had for 700 years.

“I’ll protect you…”

Surely it will.

Never doubt.

What you think should never happen.

If that happens, it’s the end of it.

To think that the empire would perish at once due to one’s own wrong choice… It could never have happened.

While thinking that, the princess’s nervousness continued.

Just in time, someone entered the princess’s office.

That person was her own secretary who brought information about the fortress city that the princess had been waiting for so long.

“Princess. There’s a call from the fortress city.”

“So how did it go?”

A secretary rushes into his office.

He handed the paper to the princess and tried to inform her of the results.

Her nervousness was amplified to the limit when she saw the secretary with a proud expression on her face.

In fact, you could tell just by looking at his expression.

“It is said that the fortress city safely stopped the Demon King’s army.”

“Is that so too?”

Again, the results were as expected.

The princess’s nervous face, which had been there until now, quickly regained vitality.

Upon hearing the news that the Demon King’s army had been stopped, the princess couldn’t help but be overjoyed as she had been so nervous for the past time.

‘Look at that, I knew it.’

After all, I thought I was good at trusting General Max.

After 60 years of defending the fortress city, the time is not going anywhere.

There was no way that an empire that had not been pierced for 700 years would be easily pierced.

‘I didn’t need a warrior after all.’

Thinking like that, I naturally thought that there was no need for a Rag hero.

After all, he did not have to rely on such a lowly warrior.

I thought to myself that I was worrying about something that was not a big deal.

I was celebrating the defense of the fortress city deeply in my heart…

“It is said that the fortress city was successfully defended by the Lag warrior who came just in time.”

“…?”

She heard something really unexpected.

The hero Rag, who thought he was useless, was able to block the fortress city thanks to Rag?

The princess was momentarily confused about what she had just heard.

So I had no choice but to ask again.

The princess looked at the secretary and asked again.

“What now?”

“Yes? The fortress city was safely blocked…”

“No. Not that, the next one.”

“They said that the fortress city was blocked by the hero of Rag…”

“A Rag Champion? Is that for real?”

“Yes. That’s right. That’s definitely how the telegram came.”

As a result of asking again, it was the secretary who told me that Lag had blocked the fortress city.

What the princess heard was not wrong.

The princess still had an expression of disbelief, but there was no way the secretary would lie to her. He knew that better than anyone else.

But still, I didn’t know, so I looked at the paper the secretary gave me with my own eyes, and I confirmed that what he said was not a lie.

‘That hero blocked the fortress city?’

Then, the princess had no choice but to have doubts in her head.

How can the warrior really stop it? Such a doubt, the princess had no choice but to feel that way.

That would also be the case, because for her, it was unbelievable that Rag would stop the demon lord.

‘How the hell did this happen?’

It just made no sense.

Seen through the eyes of the princess, the Rag hero had nothing to show for himself as a hero.

Of course, that doesn’t mean that he doesn’t have any results, but Rag fought mostly alone in the Pandemonium.

No one knows how he fought with which enemies.

Just after returning to the Empire, today ‘I defeated one of the Four Heavenly Kings.’ All I had to do was report it.

Seeing such a warrior, in fact, not only the princess but also the imperial courtiers had many doubts about him.

‘Wasn’t the Rag hero weak?’

I thought that because Lag was weak, he deliberately didn’t show off.

So Rag was actually known to be quite weak compared to other warriors.

Although I had never actually seen him, he was known to be so weak that it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was the weakest hero ever.

But for such a hero to stop the demon king, this is a very different situation from the information he knows about Rag.

Of course, my mind was very confused.

“Could I be wrong?”

So, in the end, I had no choice but to doubt the information I knew.

The fact that Rag stopped the demon king that Hero Bill couldn’t block was a situation that was very different from what he expected.

He even came to the point where he wondered if Lag’s judgment he had made was wrong.

‘If Rag was a very strong man…’

What if Rag is a much stronger hero than Bill’s hero?

What if everything you thought Lag was weak up until now was an illusion?

What if he was actually a really great guy?

In an instant, these assumptions ate away in the princess’s mind.

‘No, it can’t be.’

However, soon those doubts had to be dispelled.

I could never admit it either.

Because Rag is low blooded.

I had never heard of a lowly-blooded warrior being so strong, and it never could have been.

Because of that, I continued my thoughts in a different way.

There must be some trap about this fact now.

With that in mind, the princess pondered over the current situation once again.

‘Aha… Got it.’

She finally knew the cleverly hidden trick.

As for why the telegram that Lag had stopped the demon lord came to him.

If you think about it, it wasn’t that difficult.

‘After General Max finished everything in the fortified city, he only added a spoon.’

It is probably true that Rag arrived at the fortress city. But it must have arrived at the fortress city belatedly.

After that, he must have acknowledged the merits by helping the fortified city that he blocked anyway.

Even so, it was clear that he had even sent a telegram like this to get credit for himself.

Perhaps it was.

That’s the most reasonable and correct way to think.

‘What you’re doing is completely low blood itself…’

It is a very unseemly act.

After all, low blood is low blood?

Again, I felt contempt for low blood.

“Tsk.”

The fortress city and the lag, the princess who had perfectly reasoned about them clicked her tongue.

Still, I thought it was a really pathetic act, but I didn’t mean to punish or do anything like that.

Because I thought this was the only thing anyway.

It was a loss to pay attention to such lowly blood.

But.

“Princess. It is said that someone came to the imperial palace.”

The secretary who came into his office again announced that someone had come to visit the princess.

And for some reason, his expression was full of bewilderment.

Looks like what to do with this.

“Who came to see me?”

Who the hell came to you?

Since she couldn’t guess at all, the princess tilted her head and asked the secretary.

“That’s… the former warrior of Lag.”

The target was Rag, a former warrior.

“Hmm… Please let me know that you have no plans to meet.”

Upon hearing that, the princess’ expression turned bad.

On the subject of a low blooded warrior. No, he was no longer a warrior, but an ordinary person.

He was also a very dishonorable warrior who had been stripped of his rank as a warrior.

The situation in which Rag came to meet the princess right now, of course, the princess would not welcome it.

I don’t know if he came to visit me because he was plotting something else that he solved in the fortress city, but he had no intention of meeting him anyway.

I had no reason to meet him, and I didn’t want to meet him.

Because of this, the princess told her secretary to convey her words to Rag, but…

“That… That’s… Princess. You’re already in.”

The secretary continued to look perplexed.

This was the reason why he had such an embarrassed expression earlier.

The hero, Lag, who appears behind the secretary.

“It’s been a while. Princess.”

When Rag saw the princess, he bowed his head in greeting.

The princess saw Rag again after almost a month.

“Where am I now…”

Seeing Rag like that, the princess couldn’t help but feel that she was very rude.

Rag, who is not even a hero now, and a lowly citizen who has been deprived of a warrior position, dare to enter this place without permission?

The princess tried to reprimand Lag for acting so impolitely.

However, I couldn’t.

I was speechless.

Something didn’t feel right.

‘It doesn’t look like much has changed…’

Clearly, Rag hasn’t changed much.

Just by looking at the outside, it was the same as the Rag he knew.

It felt like a harmless creature, as if it had no interest in itself.

‘what…? Why does something look different today?’

However, something seemed a little scary today.

Not a tiger who just takes a nap without paying attention to himself…

Looking at myself, I felt like a tiger with its teeth exposed.
