The Demon King’s Seal Has Been Broken

33 – Unforgivable Princess [Responsibility] – 2

I hurriedly prepared to head for the Empire without even recovering from the fatigue of the battle.

The soldiers were saddened by the news that I was going, but they somehow understood that they couldn’t help it because the way to go was urgent.

He said he wanted to repay me anyway, so I picked up a suitable sword among the dead soldier’s swords and decided to take this.

“You all worked hard.”

So now it’s time to really leave.

I greeted the soldiers and commanders, and turned my head to go on my way.

“Hero. Please know at least this one thing.”

The commander of the fortress city, Max, summoned me one last time.

As if I had to tell you this much.

I had no choice but to look back in the end.

“As the commander of our fortress city, I and the soldiers will trust you no matter what happens in the future. Thank you very much again for saving us and the empire.”

It was the soldiers and commanders who bowed their heads to me.

Everyone told me thank you for fighting for them.

After receiving their greetings appropriately, I went on my way again.

‘No matter how you think about it, I was lucky…’

After all that was over, on my way to the empire, I couldn’t help but think of many things.

After the seal was broken, the demon king invaded the fortress city.

I was able to stop the demon lord because I arrived in time, but it was clear that it was actually a very dangerous situation.

Fortunately, the fortified city was not breached because the demon king just retreated, but if it were to happen, the fortified city would be breached, and something really serious might have happened.

If the demon lord had not retreated and continued to advance, the empire might have truly perished.

When I think about it again, it still gives me goosebumps.

It was really a situation where the place I lived in could have disappeared overnight.

‘What the hell is the princess thinking?’

And what almost happened, the culprit behind all of this was the princess, no matter what anyone said.

Of course, the person who opened the seal himself would probably be ‘Bill’, and the princess probably wouldn’t have opened it directly.

And again, I’ll have to find out exactly what happened.

Still, it cannot be said that the princess was not involved in this. No matter what anyone said, the final decision maker would have been the princess.

Before I came here, I definitely saw the existence of the warrior party in the newspaper. She probably knew about this.

The word ‘I didn’t know’ is probably not used.

‘I really don’t understand…’

In the first place, the existence of the warrior party was a group that could not be created without the approval of the princess, who had real power in the empire.

Such a group is formed, and they go to unseal the demon king while holding a parade.

It doesn’t make sense to not know that, and if you really didn’t know, there would be a more serious problem as it is.

Why the hell did the princess do this?

I don’t understand at all.

‘I knew that the first princess, Lesia, wasn’t that smart, but…’

To be honest, the first princess, Lesia.

Looking at Lesia during my time as a hero, she was actually a princess who had a lot of accidents.

He was slightly incompetent, and as the next leader to lead the empire, his ability was lacking compared to the previous leader, Emperor Wilhelm.

Since Emperor Wilhelm’s skills were quite good, it might seem a bit unfair to compare him with him.

Even if that wasn’t the case, there was no doubt that the first princess was a monarch who lacked a lot in terms of ability in my opinion.

Well, since he was the youngest son of an old emperor, he was too lacking in ability enough to take charge of the empire at a young age.

But there, I was greedy for power on that subject, and it was short to think about it.

‘He hated me so much…’

Even the princess who treats me insignificantly.

The princess held me in check, a hero, quite a lot.

Hate me because of my origin or something…

The one who rejected me for a really absurd reason was the princess.

Whenever I went to and from the imperial palace for a short time, the one I picked out was the princess.

And since I’m not stupid either, I couldn’t help but feel that the princess hated me…

‘I tried not to pay attention to what the princess was doing…’

But I didn’t have to pay attention to the princess.

From my point of view, the princess was an incomprehensible person obsessed with useless things.

And because I didn’t feel the need to care.

‘Anyway, I wasn’t greedy for power or something, and I wanted to quit being a hero.’

In the end, my activities as a hero were only temporary.

In the first place, it was close to the fact that I was forcibly forgiven because the emperor ordered me to, and because there was a favor I received from the emperor.

I don’t think I’m fit for a hero, I don’t have that much aptitude, and I don’t have any interest.

As a hero, I had no choice but to go back to my hometown and rest in peace once I solved the problem of being the demon lord.

Do I really have a desire for power? Of course there can’t be

Although he is a little greedy for money, he really wasn’t as interested in fame or power.

Rather, due to my nature of being bothered by power or honor, I had no choice but to pay attention to what the princess did, and I had no choice but to be interested in anything other than what I was doing as a warrior.

I was the one who only needed to protect the people who were important to me.

And the princess was not a precious existence that I had to protect.

‘Who would have known it would be rolled up like this.’

So I tried not to care, but now I can’t help but care.

Was it because the princess became someone precious to me? Of course, that couldn’t be the case.

Quite the opposite. ‘An entity that threatens someone important’ The princess I now think of was just such an existence.

‘I can’t ignore it anymore…’

The existence that unsealed the demon king and brought the empire to the brink of complete ruin.

In a way, from my point of view, the princess was more dangerous than the demons.

My precious people would get hurt if I overlooked such a princess any longer, so I absolutely cannot overlook it.

‘Because if I’m wrong, I could kill all my precious people.’

To be honest, I thought how much I would eat if I ate it.

As long as I wasn’t helping to rule the empire, I didn’t want to do anything useless.

I didn’t know anything about state affairs, and I didn’t have the ability to take responsibility.

But, I couldn’t help but think that I couldn’t let it go like that.

As long as the princess is the leader of the empire, there is a need to have some sense of responsibility.

Really, this could have been a big deal. The people who were more precious to me than anyone else, those beings in the cradle of the empire could have all died.

Even for my precious people, the princess had to do something.

In a way, it is considered to be much more important than defeating the demon king.

To be honest, if I sealed the demon king again, I might break the seal again.

‘I’m going to ask about this for now.’

Of course, I’m not that upset yet.

Are the results good? The Demon King has blocked it, and there are still many opportunities to turn back.

If my precious people were injured or died, the faucet would have turned, but I haven’t reached that stage yet.

That’s why I’m going to give the princess a chance.

I’m thinking of asking the princess about this cause-and-effect relationship.

What was the princess thinking when she did this? Maybe, I was deceived by someone or something like that.

Also, what do you think about the current situation?

I was thinking of asking a question like that.

‘I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer…’

If the princess gave satisfactory answers to my questions, then I had no particular complaints.

Because people can’t be perfect. Because it is a person who grows in the process of being broken and created.

I think it’s human that anyone can make mistakes. I wasn’t a harsh enough person to say anything about it.

If the princess gives me a satisfactory answer, I’m willing to believe in her and fully support her.

If she reflects on and acknowledges this incident, I believe that the princess will be able to become an outstanding leader.

‘But will the princess really give me a satisfactory answer?’

However, I am a little worried.

Will the princess give a satisfactory answer?

I don’t know about anyone else, but the first princess I knew, Lesia, couldn’t help but feel that kind of anxiety.

What if I really can’t get a satisfactory answer from the princess…?

I might be thinking a little extreme.

No matter how much I am a princess, I cannot let someone who threatens my precious existence live.

Depending on the answer, it might really kill you.

“Ah… no matter how much I think about it, it won’t be like that.”

But, I believe not.

Having made it this far, can’t you just apologize?

It wasn’t what I was hoping for so much.

“Yeah, it won’t.”

While I was thinking about that, before I knew it, I was able to arrive at the empire.

Now, you can enter the imperial palace, see the princess, and ask questions.

Hoping that the princess would answer well, I went into the imperial palace.
