The Demon King’s Seal Has Been Broken

48 – Part 2: The Fall of the Princess (Preparation for the Trial) – 2

A week had already passed since the princess said she would open an arena to select heroes.

And in the process, I was able to receive a lot of participation documents.

Ten times more people gathered than when the arena was originally opened.

Originally, it was an arena that was operated only with money, but now it has turned into a selection of warriors, not only money, but also honor and power.

There were so many things waiting for me, so of course I had to.

Numerous warriors applied for documents to be selected to become warriors.

“A lot of people gathered.”

And the princess couldn’t help but smile happily as she looked at the piles of documents of candidates for the warriors piled up on her desk.

Originally, she wasn’t the princess who liked to pile up a lot of paperwork, and in fact, all office workers couldn’t be in a good situation, but today was an exception.

To think that there is at least one gemstone among these heaps of papers, it inevitably feels like a treasure hunt.

So, I couldn’t help but feel better.

It was because, to her, this wasn’t something she didn’t want to do, it was about finding a valuable jewel that would fulfill her will.

“There must be at least one of them, right?”

Surely there will be one of these numerous documents.

A candidate who deserves to be a hero can become stronger than anyone else, and there must be a hero who will be there for herself as a princess.

There was no choice but to have a hero like Rag who would lightly suppress him.

“Yes. If you think about it, it doesn’t make sense to have only one Rag strong in this wide world.”

The world was obviously incredibly large.

An empire made up of a total of 20 cities, even the princess did not know how many people would live when all 20 cities were hit.

Besides, it wasn’t just the citizens of the Empire.

If you beat the barbarians and elves outside the empire, there must be countless creatures living on this continent.

Is there not only one among such beings? That would be too nonsensical.

There must be a hero like Rag. probabilities must exist.

No, there must have been a better warrior than Lag. It makes no sense that only one Rag is strong among hundreds and thousands of living beings.

There must be hidden strengths that have not yet been revealed.

“I just need to find a strong person like that and do what I have to do.”

And finding such a strong person was what he had to do and was doing right now.

In order to create a structure that no longer has to rely on rag warriors and the like.

In order not to suffer any further shame, this selection of warriors was very important to her.

“I will definitely press your nose flat.”

Whether it’s the second princess, Anastasia, who rebelled against herself.

Ragden, the hero who shamed himself.

Whether it’s nobles who are starting to distance themselves more and more from her.

It must be this selection of warriors right now that will firmly inform everyone of their position.

She was pouring out quite a lot of expectations about this selection of warriors.

“Whoa… It’s not like I’m spending too little, though.”

And the money that went in like that expectation was not easy.

Originally, the tax revenue of the empire wasn’t too tight, but the money spent to restore the fortress city was quite large.

In addition, a lot of money was spent to support the warrior party bill.

It was because the parade held for them was all from washing their face.

In addition, the western cities of the empire, the moment the two richest places turned to the empire, were quite financially difficult.

So, in fact, the empire’s national treasury was almost at the bottom, but she still squeezed out the national treasury as much as possible to open this arena.

Therefore, it was inevitable that it would be a selection of warriors that would be a considerable burden for her.

“You can’t fail… I’m in real trouble.”

In fact, if this failed, it was bound to cause a lot of trouble for her.

Perhaps if she really failed this time, so many people would turn their backs on her.

Maybe then it will really fail? I thought so.

However, it didn’t matter.

Because I didn’t think it would fail at all.

A gamble in which the probability of success is much higher than the probability of failure.

“It’s a problem that can be solved by just choosing a warrior anyway.”

In the end, whether it was the national treasury or trust, everything was an issue that could be resolved in one shot.

As Lesia thought, if only a strong warrior like Rag appeared, everything would be resolved.

All you need is a valuable hero who will give you overwhelming power.

If that happens, her world will begin again.

“Whoa… Shall we start soon?”

She is now seated.

And, from now on, I started looking for it, looking at the documents one by one in earnest.

She was thinking of picking out the people who would go to the selection of warriors from among these numerous documents by the end of the day.

“You’d better do it yourself.”

Originally, I thought that something like this would suit a secretary, but this time I decided to do it myself.

It’s a very important matter that determines her future, so it can’t be beaten by someone else.

Lesia started going through the documents one by one.

For several hours, the princess eagerly looked at the documents.

To be honest, it must have been a very difficult task to go through over tens of thousands of documents one by one, but I had to filter out people with low quality in the first place, so I couldn’t help it.

It was because I couldn’t just gather all the 10,000+ candidates for the hero in the arena and choose from there.

She set a minimum standard and was now choosing.

“Hmm…”

And while choosing like that, to be honest, Lesia couldn’t help but lose her strength.

It was hard work in itself to look through countless documents by myself.

However, it wasn’t that Lesia was losing her strength.

The reason why she was losing strength was more of a mental problem than a physical one.

“It’s a little smaller than I thought.”

Lesia was not satisfied.

A questioning expression appeared on his face. The reason she made that face was because she didn’t like the papers she was looking at at all.

After examining nearly half of the documents, about 1 percent of them are choosing outstanding people, but to be honest, there were no such people.

I still choose, but it seems like I’m choosing something, I’m not sure, and my thirst doesn’t quench.

“I think it would be a really suitable person.”

The princess didn’t really want much.

He just wanted someone who seemed moderately strong, a hero like Rag.

Until just now, I wondered if there would be a single Rag among hundreds of thousands of people, and I was full of expectations…

To be honest, the situation was not good. Because there was no one to do something like this.

In the end, I could only continue to lose my motivation.

Still, she did not give up and looked at the documents.

Because giving her up now was something she absolutely shouldn’t have done.

With hope, I continued to go through the papers.

In the meantime. I was able to find a person with a pretty unusual history.

“Huh…? What is this?”

The leader of the group that subdued the demons?

Her eyes instantly turned into expectant eyes at those words that were so interested in her.

What kind of person is he? She took another look at the papers with excitement, but…

“What? The savages also applied?”

Lesia’s face could not help but frown in an instant.

The reason was a savage.

The group that subdued the demons was a barbarian race, and the identity of the head was the head of the barbarian race.

That head was now supporting the candidate for the hero.

“Those who don’t know that civilization or etiquette?”

Of course, the perception of barbarians was never good if they were imperial citizens.

The imperial people, who pursued civilization and order and lived a formal life, always looked down on the savages.

Even commoners regard the savage people as uncivilized and despise them.

In such a situation, the princess of noble blood naturally added more, never less.

She didn’t understand any of the savages, and she didn’t understand their values at all.

For the princess, who hated those who lived worthlessly and who knew low blood, the savages were a symbol of that low blood.

“Ugh… Really, what should I do?”

In this situation, the princess had no choice but to worry.

Originally, they were savages who never cared about them, but in this situation, they may be needed.

Because their military power is certainly great if it is great, they were talented people who might be indispensable at this moment.

So, the princess had a moment of contemplation.

As for whether or not to include them as hero candidates, I closed my eyes and thought a little deeply and for a long time too seriously.

And the result of thinking so.

“No. No matter how much I think about it, I’m not a savage.”

Again, he was by no means a savage.

To say that a barbarian was a hero representing the Empire was a disgrace to the Empire.

I couldn’t imagine it at all. It was so blasphemous to think that the hero she had always admired in fairy tales was a barbarian.

It was something that could never happen, and the princess did not want to bear such a disgrace.

could never allow it.

“leaving out!”

In the end, the papers on the savages were abandoned.

I’m sorry, but I thought it couldn’t be helped.

As expected, for the princess, a hero had to meet the minimum qualifications.
