Episode 550 Cruel Solution (3)
“…What is this!”
I screamed without realizing it. I got up from my seat. I grabbed the guy’s collar. My heart was pounding.
hate. I don’t want to spend it like this. I shouldn’t pass on my responsibility like this. This is all because of me. However, Damian must not be left alone to die a lonely and miserable death. I don’t want to do that.
But why….
“Your Highness.”
Is he crying? Is he looking at me like that with a face full of tears?
“It is my duty to protect Your Highness.”
“What does this have to do with that?”
“Your Majesty will be safe only when this world is at peace.”
“So you’re saying you’re going to be abandoned in this world just for that reason?”
“It’s not just that. “I’m doing this because that’s the reason.”
“That’s nonsense.”
“majesty.”
“I’ll pretend I didn’t hear that nonsense just now. Since it hurts, I think it was just a mistake. So sit down quickly.”
“majesty.”
“Listen to me.”
I was angry.
I was so angry.
Is it because of Damian’s attitude that he stepped forward without even asking the doctor here?
It wasn’t.
I was so angry with myself.
He’s been a medical professional and all, so he’s been putting on a good show. In fact, I was angry at myself for being helpless at moments like these. I was angry at myself for arbitrarily interfering with this world and putting Damian in this situation, but not being able to do anything about it. I became even more angry at myself for not being able to do anything but be angry at this very moment.
But why is this person pouring out their anger on Damian in an even worse way?
“You are my escort. You can’t die without my orders. “You still don’t know how long you’ve been by my side?”
“I know very well.”
“But why do you do this?”
“I do it because I have to.”
“Insolent.”
“I can’t help it even if you curse and criticize me.”
“I have never given you the freedom to die at will.”
“If I don’t have that freedom, I will stop escorting Your Highness.”
“what?”
“If there is anything I can do to protect Your Highness other than as an escort, I will gladly do so.”
“Damian.”
“majesty.”
“Damian!”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
“Immediately retract what you said to everyone earlier.”
“I don’t like it.”
“It’s an order.”
“I refuse.”
“I will save you.”
“What do you mean?”
“Somehow.”
Even if it means taking away this person’s life. Even if it means working harder to treat others, earning bonus life and giving it all to yourself.
I wanted to save it.
I didn’t want to give up.
But does Damian also know this feeling? Is that why I laugh even more sadly?
“majesty. “You have done enough so far.”
“…what.”
“But you still want to do more?”
“of course.”
“….”
Damien Cayenne let out a soft sigh. He could feel his master’s heart. So I also felt sad and guilty. It’s because of yourself. He says his master is becoming dangerous and unhappy because of him.
So he decided.
“…All right. “I will follow Your Majesty’s wishes.”
I bowed my head obediently. So that my lord can rest assured. So that you can believe in yourself and let go of your heart. Just be obedient. like that.
“I think my judgment was clouded for a moment just now. “I apologize.”
“…It will happen soon.”
The lord finally lets out a soft sigh. Are you relieved? Is that why he is finally letting go of the front bumper he was holding on to?
It was then.
“Tsk. It seems a bit messy. “How about we postpone the rest of the meeting until tomorrow?”
Dragon King Berkis made a suggestion.
The lord was seen quickly nodding his head.
“…I agree.”
The lord will probably be pleased with the Dragon King’s proposal. Now that I have time to prepare to refute the Dragon King’s opinion.
So, my lord.
‘…sorry.’
Damian quietly muttered his sincere apology as he followed his master as he hurried out of the conference room.
?
Truth is always difficult.
Dragon King Berkis sighed as he realized that fact again today.
‘Write it. ‘Did I push it too far?’
He recalled the pan-tribal meeting earlier in the day. He also recalled the argument he made at the time. Damian Cayenne. The Demon King’s vessel. They said that all problems would be easily solved if we sent him to a deserted world to die alone.
“….”
In fact, it is the most efficient method. But now that I think about it, I think the method of claiming that wasn’t very efficient.
‘I didn’t know the crown prince would be so angry.’
Was I being too insensitive?
I guess it was like that.
I thought that if my wife found out about what happened today, she would nag me all the time. No matter how correct something is, it makes sense to say it with consideration for the listener’s position and feelings, blah blah blah blah.
‘Write it. But what can I do when that is the most certain method?’
As expected, that is the problem. Other than that, how to stop the Demon King? I can’t think of anything in particular. Are you and the Archangel King of Hell all linked up to fight against the King of Demon World? Even that won’t be as magical as intended. Unlike themselves who have established themselves in the human world, there are many restrictions on the archangels and kings of hell in exercising their power here.
No, even if…
‘Even if the combination of the Archangel and the King of Hell exerts their full strength and joins with me, the odds of winning… would only be 50% at best.’
Is it actually 30%?
No, maybe less.
The Demon King, who absorbed all the power of the world of darkness and the world of darkness, became such a powerful being. Therefore, trying to stop it by clashing with force would never be a wise choice.
“….”
My head hurts.
Dragon King Berkis rolled over on the sofa, scratching the back of his head. Then he spoke harshly towards the door of the emperor’s bedroom where he was staying.
“I know you’re here, so come in.”
It was right after those words fell.
The bedroom door opened.
And then Damien appeared.
“Did you know?”
“of course. “You’ve been openly pacing outside the door like a puppy that wants to poop, so how could I not know that?”
“also. “I see.”
“As expected, it’s bullshit. bothered. From business.”
“I came to ask you a favor.”
Damian suddenly said.
One of Dragon King Berkis’ eyebrows twitched.
“ask?”
“yes.”
“no way?”
“Did you guess?”
“Do you want me to send you to the world right now so the crown prince doesn’t find out?”
“yes. you’re right.”
“You were a scary guy, weren’t you?”
“I don’t think so.”
“No, it doesn’t matter. “Are you planning to bury me?”
“I dare to ask you a favor because I know that you are a person who will not be swayed by anyone’s criticism.”
“no. I’m shaking. “I care a lot.”
“I guess you just got annoyed.”
“No? “Are you saying it’s burdensome?”
“But you could let me go right now.”
“….”
The Dragon King stared at Damian.
And asked.
“You are very determined, aren’t you?”
“sorry.”
“Was the method you suggested during the day that attractive?”
“I am convinced that this is the best way to keep my lord safe.”
“Well, that’s true.”
“yes. That’s why.”
“As expected, you came without permission from the crown prince, right? “You didn’t do something like that by leaving your workplace, did you?”
“We are closed.”
“It’s thorough.”
“Because it’s important.”
“So you want me to send it to you right now?”
“yes.”
“Do you have any regrets?”
“there is.”
“And yet?”
“So we have to do it now.”
“….”
Dragon King Berkis fell into a moment of silence.
This time Damian stared at him.
And I thought.
That this decision would be the best. We shouldn’t take any more time. If there is even the slightest hesitation, if there is any hesitation, if you give the crown prince time… the prince will think of all kinds of treatments in the meantime and will not give up hope.
‘Because my master… is that kind of person.’
A person who never gives up.
A person who protects his patients until the end.
The lord he had seen so far was like that.
So it was.
I was strongly convinced that this should not be the case this time. I had a sense of crisis that his sense of responsibility and sincerity would put his master in danger.
“Actually… I feel it. “Every time one fatal disease boils within me… the Demon King is getting closer and closer to the sleep of consciousness.”
“The Demon King? “Within you?”
“yes. “His influence is growing.”
“….”
“Maybe even if I don’t die completely… if the disease progresses beyond a certain point, there will come a time when its influence will encroach and take over me. “At first it might be sporadic, a few seconds, then a few minutes, and then it could be several hours a day.”
“It would actually be a semi-advent state.”
“That’s right.”
Yes.
That’s what I’m most afraid of.
What if your consciousness and body are suddenly eaten away by the King of Demons for a few seconds while you are receiving treatment?
At that moment, the Demon King will target the lord first. They will attack the lord who may be engrossed in medical treatment or who may be distracted. With this body. With this hand. You will kill your master in an instant.
“….”
I don’t like that.
do not do that.
But I felt like that time… wasn’t very far away.
“I don’t know why I feel this way. “Maybe it’s just because it’s my body, so I can sense it naturally.”
“Is that so?”
“yes.”
“I’m just asking you to let me go cleanly before something like that happens.”
“That’s right.”
Damian looked at the Dragon King intently.
The Dragon King did not avoid his gaze either.
“…okay. “Let me send it to you.”
“thank you.”
“What is gratitude? “It seems like I’m the one who hears all your complaints.”
“sorry.”
“If you’re going to be sorry, you shouldn’t have asked me this in the first place.”
“I’m sorry about that too.”
“That’s it. “Then let’s get started.”
It’s already been decided.
There is no reason to hesitate.
A powerful wave of magical power bloomed from the dragon heart of Dragon King Berkis.
Tsushaaa…!
Dozens of magic circles were created in the air. combined. Like a sophisticated machine. Or like the exquisite harmony of living things. The three-dimensional magic circle, the specialty of Dragon King Berkis, enveloped Damian’s entire body.
Looking at that, Damian closed his eyes.
‘majesty.’
Please forgive me for leaving without a word.
I will not ask Your Majesty to understand.
Just be healthy and happy.
That’s enough for me….
Bang!
Just before my eyelids close completely.
A harsh door sound was heard.
Soon a familiar voice came along.
“…Damian. “What are you doing now?”
Damian turned his head.
My lord.
My lord, whom I wanted to see so much until the very last moment. The crown prince opened the door and saw his eyes wide open.
