Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 299
67. Separation is always sudden (3)
Migo held Deus’ hand.
“Dad, too. It’s okay if you don’t do it. “Because there is something for everyone.”
“Don’t act like an adult.”
“But you have to become an adult. “Because I am the devil.”
“Knock it off. Why is the devil freezing to death? Do you know what the Demon World is? Lucifer, that damned archangel,
gathered up the Chimaera dregs and threw them underground. Since humans needed an enemy, God forgave them and they became demons, maintaining an appropriate tension to prevent humans from being destroyed. “The leader of that grand stage is the devil.”
“He’s a villain.”
“that’s right. The devil is a being who possesses all kinds of vices and is ultimately destined to be hunted by the hands of a hero. Because only then will humans not perish. The value of existence is only that. Beat it away. If you need a job,
take care of the land for me. Starting this year, I plan to receive 100,000 gold coins each from the Demon World. It’s good, right? “I live a busy life managing my father’s land.”
“Dad, too. Where can I find a job like that? “I learned that work is about achieving something worthwhile through sweat.”
“Which idiot instilled that kind of ideology in you?”
“Yulgeum…” Deus was speechless.
Yulgeum, who was organizing the table on the other side, said something with her lips. No matter how you look at it,
it’s an insult.
“So Dad. Please forgive Uncle Regin. And you must apologize to your aunt.”
“apologize?”
“They said it was my father who killed my aunt’s father.”
“I was the devil back then. The devil king kills the king of humans, that’s it, that’s it. “A job where you sweat and achieve something worthwhile?”
“Of course, but. Still, I think I can apologize. I too may end up in a war with humans in the future,
killing countless lives. But I won’t pretend like nothing happened then. I will apologize and pray again. “May the life I took go to heaven.”
“Yulgeum completely ruined the child. “Which devil in the world prays for the people he killed?”
Migo laughed.
“Isn’t it true that there are devils like this and devils like that? “If you think about it strangely enough, there is no devil like my dad.”
“Well, who will teach whom?” Deus crossed his arms.
Turning his head, what he saw was Zeke’s beachfront restaurant.
Zeke supported Regin and arrived at the back of King Acoma’s castle.
Queen April, who was restlessly in front of the warp gate, shed tears as soon as she saw Regin.
“Are you alive?”
It was not a good idea to look like one. So much so that her first words were these.
“Signi treated you, so you’ll be fine.”
“Thank you, Lord!”
April personally guided Zeke to the king’s room.
Zeke laid Regin on the bed.
His clothes were all covered in blood and his armor was not intact anywhere.
Only the divine sword Balmung was as strong as its owner’s will.
The bleeding had stopped and the wound had healed considerably, but he was not yet conscious.
April held Regin’s hands tightly and prayed by the bed.
And Zeke stood with his back against the wall some distance away from the couple.
Regin, that guy was single-minded.
Since she had decided to avenge the queen, it was obvious that she would continue to attack Deus.
There are only two ways in the world to stop Regin like that.
Either you can suppress him with physical force, or SIGNI can persuade him.
“Signi… might be having a hard time.”
Seeing Queen April with so much affection in her eyes, it seemed like Signi’s efforts to dissuade her would be of no use.
“Regin must have failed, right?”
Zeke nodded slowly in response to Queen April’s question.
” yes.”
“Zeke what did you do? “Did you help Regin?”
“It’s like,
‘Whose side are you on? Is it Regin? Or the devil? Did the devil deny it? “The fact that you killed my father.”
“He didn’t deny it.”
“And yet you are on the side of the devil, not Regin?”
“What do you want to do, Your Majesty?”
“how? “Of course, I plan to burn that demon and offer its ashes to my father’s grave.”
“It would be impossible.”
“Why?”
“Because he is too strong.”
“The kingdom will join forces. Furthermore, we will ask for help from all of humanity.”
“Even if you say that, it’s unreasonable.”
“There are Seonghwangcheong and Zodiac Knights.”
Zeke sighed lightly and shook his head.
How do I explain it to understand?
Queen April spoke again.
“If you want to help him, just leave
. “It’s okay to think that Regin doesn’t have an older brother.”
“At least I won’t have to help Deus-sama attack Regin.”
“You still praise the devil.”
“I already swore an oath to serve him as my master a long time ago.”
“That’s really trustworthy.”
Zeke made no reply to her sarcastic remark.
He knew very well that this was a contradictory story.
No matter how I tried to turn things around, I had no intention of betraying him in the end.
At that moment, a person came into the room and opened his mouth.
“Your Majesty, you are truly foolish.”
It was none other than Signi who said those words.
“Please be careful with your words and actions.”
“I could say more. “You are the queen of a country, but you are also a woman of the Hollybeach family.”
“Even if the king marries, she does not become a woman from a certain family.”
“Even if she’s royalty, she’s still a Holly Bitch woman.”
“That’s far-fetched.”
“If you want to mistreat our family’s laws, break up with Regin. “I can’t have someone like that in my family.”
April was speechless for a moment due to SIGNI’s stern tone.
Signy approached Regin.
He placed his hand on his forehead.
It was hot like a fireball. This was because the battle was fought with all of the divine power poured into it.
Signi
injected divine power into Regin’s body.
Although she was not comparable to transcendental figures like Zeke or Deus, Signi was also a saint of unparalleled distinction.
Just as a warrior who comes back from death overcomes his limits, she also had the same experience.
Regin’s expression softened due to SIGNI’s power.
“I have no intention of ignoring the Queen’s authority. But now we are in the era of Generation Zero. No matter how strong your inner power is, it cannot reach your castle. “Your Majesty,
how many monsters can you cut with your sword?”
April became nervous as she saw Signy looking at her arrogantly.
Her first impression was delicate. After that, she was not seen other than as Migo’s mother.
Not only was Na Dae not the type of person, but he also had a soft heart.
But now April was a little intimidated by Signy.
“Your Majesty, you are foolish.”
“What did you mean?”
“Because you don’t know how much power my brother in front of you has.”
“I know he was once called The Ender.”
“Do you also know that this is a reputation that was earned through training in just 14 years and less than a year?”
“that!”
“My brother is now 26 years old. I’m turning 27 soon. How much power does it have? “I can tell you that in this world, the only person who can stop the existence of Deus is your brother.”
April looked back at Zeke.
A man with an expressionless face leaning against the wall.
“I’m saying that because I’m your brother.”
“How many beings in this world can fight you alone and win? Even the archangels won’t have it easy.”
“How arrogant! “You must pray that your words do not fall into the ears of the angels.”
“You can speak in front of any angel. Forget what you don’t know. What kind of order is being created in this world now?
“The Deus you are dealing with is the real ruler of this world.”
“That’s a gross exaggeration.”
“You will find out later. But if you find out that my story is true, without Brother Zeke by your side, it will be difficult for you to face any future except defeat and death.”
April nodded.
“I know what you’re talking about. Zeke and Signy, I will never ignore you again .
“I have no doubt that you are our helpers.”
Just as Zeke was about to say something, SIGNI took a step forward and opened his mouth.
“Please welcome us as guests of the royal family of Le Verde. “I will assist Regin and bring the best results for the royal family.”
April nodded.
“great. That’s how you do it. “Then, the first thing I will do is resolve the dismissal of Seonghwangcheong, which has been handed down to the two of you.”
“It’s natural. “If I stay here as a criminal,
I will be a disgrace to the royal family.”
Queen April nodded and shouted outside.
“Hello! “Does anyone have anything?”
The maids who had been waiting in the next room suddenly appeared.
One of them was carrying Prince Berol. It seemed like she was a nanny.
“Chief maid. “These are my husband’s brothers, so please prepare lodgings for them at the White Magpie House.”
“Your Majesty.”
“We will treat you with the best treatment, and if you lack even one thing, you
will have to sacrifice your head.”
“I will keep that in mind.”
Only after the maids had left the White Magpie’s dormitory did Zeke open his mouth.
“What are you imitating all of a sudden?”
“I tried imitating Deus a little bit.” SIGNI responded, licking his tongue.
“You must be doing it because you have something in mind.”
“I can’t let Regin die.”
” that’s right.”
“There are limits to helping in the dark
. First, we have to go out into the world again. “I will focus only on Regin in a place where I don’t have to worry about anyone else.”
Zeke smiled.
“Is it strange?”
“huh. As expected, SIGNI is strong at times like this.”
“Because you are kind.”
“Are you making fun of me for being stupid?”
“no. That’s a lot of power. “Everyone around me trusts and follows my brother.”
“Thank you for saying that.”
It was just as Signy said.
Not only the superhumans like Lake and Sadimus, but also the two main knights, Katrun, a young warrior from Isolta who now possesses D-class strength.
All of them were Zeke’s followers.
Zeke did not promise future profits and was completely disconnected from success or wealth.
A proud driver was willing to accept jobs such as kitchen assistance at a food stall.
Signi said while looking out the window. “And
we must bring
great benefit to this Verde Kingdom .”
“Are you planning to change what Deus-sama did with that?”
” yes.”
“It must be a huge profit. “What can happen that can change my father’s death?”
“That means,
“Don’t try to take responsibility for Deus-sama’s karma. That’s not something you can handle. “Let’s focus on Regin.”
“Your brother.”
There was a knocking sound.
The maids opened the door and ushered
out the guests.
They were none other than Lake and the others.
By order of the Queen, who is waiting under the patronage of the kingdom, Zeke was guided to the White Magpie Hall where he was staying.
The White Magpie Hall was a large building that could accommodate dozens of people, so adding a few more guests was no problem.
As soon as we arrived at the living room where Zeke and Signy were, Sadimus said something.
“You’ve suddenly become a guest of the royal family.” “Haha, is that so?”
