The Demon King’s Seal Has Been Broken

1 – The princess who hates lowly blood

The empire has a very long history.

And in that history, there have been countless demon kings and countless warriors.

From demon lords who always threatened the empire and threatened the world, the warriors of the empire killed the demon lord and always defended the empire admirably.

In that situation…

The current hero, Rag.

This situation where I could barely seal the demon lord, let alone kill him, after a death-dealing battle…

It was unprecedented and unprecedented in the history of the empire.

Because of this, many people in the imperial palace began to criticize me for this.

“As expected, I didn’t make a commoner from a lowly background into a hero. I can only seal it…!”

The princess was very angry and pointed at me.

Brilliant silver hair. The first princess, Lecia, with fair skin, red eyes, and doll-like appearance, with a beautiful and arrogant voice, glared at me fiercely and went away.

“You’re really damaging the names of past warriors… Are you conscious as a warrior? Is that the only thing a warrior can do?”

And on the other side of the princess, the commander of the imperial knights, Bill.

A man with an unshaven black beard, a huge body and hard armor, this man who was sighing heavily and scolding me fiercely was the same.

He also started scolding me while helping the princess.

‘What the hell did I just hear?’

To be honest, I couldn’t help but feel so unfair about this situation.

Even so, the demon king I met had strength beyond imagination.

It was too strong to imagine again. It was an opponent who could not use his hands to the extent that it would be impossible for any hero to kill her.

‘Really… the demon king was insanely strong… to the extent that he couldn’t be compared to other demon kings in ancient literature.’

Sealing might not even be possible. Her magic power was so vast that it took a lot of magic to seal it…

Rather, even the fact that he managed to break through such magic and seal it might be called a miracle.

What if you couldn’t seal it…? I’m sure the world would have perished long ago at her hands.

There was also a record of holding out for a month without a hero against another demon king… but if it were that demon king, the world might perish in one day at the earliest…

‘It’s not just a seal…’

In such a situation, blaming yourself for only being able to seal yourself…

To be honest, from my point of view, I really did my best and produced the best results, but is that the only thing I can do? It was the same as saying.

I couldn’t put that demon king on the same line as other demon kings.

“You can’t even kill the demon king…! Hero, Rag. Really, you’re such a shame to be called a hero…!”

However, they probably don’t know how strong the demon lord is…

That’s why they think I’m pitiful because I can only seal it.

‘I got it right…’

And in fact, I wasn’t that much of a hero to be admired.

It was a situation where, far from being pretty, he was determined to hang on to the princess and the knight commander sometime.

In that situation, I must have been properly caught.

‘Well… I thought it would happen like this sometime.’

And that they crave me like this, actually, this wasn’t that special.

Because I wasn’t a very popular hero in the imperial palace.

‘They don’t like me because I’m from an orphan…?’

Originally, warriors were usually from aristocrats.

In the first place, since nobles use their spare time and money to learn swordsmanship and magic, they are generally more likely to be stronger than commoners.

So all the warriors of the past were from aristocrats.

‘I’m not an orphan because I want to be born as an orphan…’

But I was not from an aristocratic family, let alone an ordinary commoner’s family, I was an orphan with no parents.

Is it because of such a pathetic origin? Many of the imperial courtiers didn’t like me very much.

In particular, the princess had looked at me very badly since I became a hero, calling me a lowly blood.

I was quite attached to the princess from the beginning.

‘It looks like Knight Commander Bill hates me too…’

Also, the knight commander, Bill, like the princess, didn’t like me very much.

Because originally, if it weren’t for me, that man was the one who should have become a hero.

The strongest knight in the empire, that was Bill.

‘I didn’t want to become a hero either…’

However, because of the emperor’s arbitrariness, I was chosen as the hero.

Until a few years ago, I was just an ordinary blacksmith in the countryside.

To me, the emperor suddenly ordered me to become a hero…

I just served as a hero according to that order.

‘What’s so twisted…’

But, no matter what, Bill seems to think that I took the position of the hero.

It was the emperor’s order, so Bill didn’t show it in particular, but I still got the feeling that he was looking at me very respectfully.

In such a situation, all the warriors of the past killed the demon king… I must be sorry for being able to only ‘seal’…

He scolded me by saying, “I can only do that when I took the position of the warrior from myself.”

Well, anyway, contrary to my will, I was in a situation where I was hated a lot here and there.

‘What is the Emperor Grandpa doing?’

I raised my head slightly and looked at what the emperor who selected me as a hero was doing.

Normally, the emperor would have helped me a long time ago and made the princess and the knight commander shut up…

However, he seemed to have a hard time defending me in this situation.

‘Oh… the emperor’s grandfather is now in his later years…’

As the current princess and knight commander said, he was a ‘hero who could only be sealed’…

He was a hero who usually had good results, so there was even a reason to defend him…

Now, I couldn’t stand up for myself in a situation where everyone was swearing at me for the disappointing results,

Now the emperor did not have the strength to do so.

I had heard that a lot of real powers had already begun to be handed down to Lesia, who would inherit the emperor some time ago.

Now he was almost an old man in the back room.

He can’t just shut up public opinion here…

“Hero, Rag. I will deprive you of your status as a warrior. Do you have any objection to this?”

In the end, it was only natural for the story to come out that I would be deprived of my position as a warrior.

The princess who was appointed as the next emperor, she scolded me and finally tried to deprive me of the hero.

He said that a guy like you wouldn’t be acknowledged as a hero…

Many of his servants agreed with the story, saying that it was correct.

‘It’s a bit embarrassing, but…’

To go through all that hardship and even be stripped of the position of a hero…

In this situation, I was a bit unfair, so I thought about just saying it.

The real demon king was insanely strong…

I thought I wouldn’t just keep my mouth shut.

If it had been another hero, wouldn’t he have been able to seal it…?

I did my best because I am a human being, but it was unfair to be treated this way…

If I say this, maybe my resentment will be relieved a little.

‘Ah… that’s it.’

But, I decided not to say anything.

Even if I said that, they didn’t think it was an excuse and they wouldn’t listen.

Talking about it didn’t make me any better.

‘I was going to quit being a hero anyway…’

And well, there was no particular obsession with the position of the hero.

After I became a hero, I lived in a position where I was treated in my own way, but…

After all, I thought it would be much more comfortable to live in the countryside while working as a blacksmith.

Because of this, when the work of the hero was finished, I tried to put the hero down myself.

From the beginning, he only became a hero because the emperor ordered him to.

Being a celebrity didn’t suit my nature.

Even if you give up your position as a hero, there is no problem…

‘I could have been really weak…’

Also, I might really be a weak hero.

The comparison targets I knew were only ancient texts.

Based on the demon king written in the ancient literature, the current demon king was evaluated as strong…

In fact, I had never met the demon king of the past.

So, all demon lords are at that level, but I could have been mistaken.

It could have been that I was weak, so I considered that demon king to be the strongest demon king ever, and could only seal it.

Thinking that might be the case, I just decided not to say anything.

“Yes. I understand. As the princess commanded, I will give up my position as a warrior.”

So I gave up my position as a warrior in peace.

When I put it down, I didn’t feel any regret at all.

“Hmph. Still, I think it’s fortunate that you know your subject well.”

When I gave up my position as a warrior, the princess raised her lips as if she was satisfied only then.

And the knight commanders who were on the other side.

Also, all the servants who remonstrated with them were delighted.

I heard that the useless hero has disappeared.

Wouldn’t that be a happy ending?

The warrior that everyone didn’t want disappeared.

“Sigh…”

However, there was only one person in the imperial palace.

Seeing this, the emperor sighed deeply.
