Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 300

67. Separation is always sudden (4)

Around afternoon, after hearing that Regin had woken up, Zeke and Signy visited the king’s residence.

Unlike the public space of the royal palace, only very limited people were allowed to enter the living quarters next to the back garden.

Because of April’s eccentric personality, parties hosted by the royal family were rare.

In that secret place, Zeke and Signy were quite different beings.

They were Gukseo’s biological brothers, but they were also black warriors and witches.

From the best hero to the worst traitor. It was more difficult to find people on the Jose continent who did not know the names of Zeke and Signy.

Zeke is not wearing armor right now.

The blue dragon changed Zeke’s armor into ordinary clothes.

However, because Asmodeus had a strong ego, he could not change his shape, so he was left in his quarters and only had the Death Beast in his body.

Signi was also dressed in casual clothes, so

the maids tilted their heads, glancing at their brother and sister from afar.

This was because his appearance was so different from the black warrior who was described as the embodiment of fear.

Regin was already sitting on the bed. There was color on his face, but his expression was not good.

“brother. sister.”

“Lay down a little longer.”

Signi went over and lifted the blanket.

Queen April was holding Berol in a chair by her bed.

She opened her mouth.

“Zeke, please convince him. He says he will go fight that demon again. “They say they really want to make Berol a fatherless child.”

“I don’t want to do that either. But I already swore. “April, I will avenge your grudge.”

“Don’t make excuses for me.”

“It’s not an excuse…

Zeke stood at the foot of the bed and stared at Regin.

The couple’s conversation stopped and Regin made eye contact with Zeke.

“Do you want to get revenge? Or do

you just want to pretend like that?”

“You can’t even pretend like that!”

“You must have already felt the difference in power, right?”

“It

’s like saying, ‘I’m bragging, but he and I have already transcended living beings. “Honestly, even if all the knights on the Jose Continent attack, it will only take time.”

Regin bit his lip.

I know he’s strong, but I couldn’t give in to what he said against all the knights on the continent.

“The only being in the world who has that kind of power

is God.”

“i think so too.”

“Do you really think you have powers comparable to God?”

“It is foolish to estimate the power of God. However, when it comes to archangels that correspond to his knights, there is not much difference between me and myself. “We are weaker than Deus-sama.”

“Are you being serious?”

“O” ”0.

“He’s just a demon lord. “He was kicked out of the throne too!”

“You weren’t kicked out because you were weak, it was quite the opposite

.”

“This is something I don’t understand!”

“There are stories in the world that cannot be fathomed by human perception. You can’t beat him. “No matter what.”

“Then you just die.”

“Are you not planning on becoming stronger?”

Regin, startled, looked at Zeke again.

“Getting stronger?”

“I don’t know how far I can go.”

“I… can become stronger?”

“Again, he thinks you are his enemy, and there is no one in this world he can compare to. I don’t know if I’ll win, but I’ll have to at least get to a level where it can be called a fight. Only then will Deus-sama treat you seriously.”

Zeke glanced at April.

“It would be a knight’s pride to die for his lady, but now you are at a level where you cannot even be treated as a knight. “It’s not as good as the grassroots that break it down without thinking.”

“Aren’t you being too harsh on your younger brother

?”

“You are a great warrior. But human beings.”

“Did you get away with it?”

“Not even the messenger could take me away. “Because it’s so strong.”

Zeke smiles bitterly.

“That was… that’s right.”

Even Regin didn’t know the details about the Shinigami Beast or the reason why Zeke was strong.

However, I knew very well that my brother was not the type to freely spout lies.

“Then get well quickly.”

Regin bowed his head at his brother’s words.

It was heartbreaking to hear that I couldn’t even be called a knight in front of him now.

It actually did.

I almost died after receiving a few slaps.

Zeke confirmed that Regin was safe and left his room.

It looked like Signy would stay by Regin’s side a little longer.

Just as he left the room, April followed him and called out to him.

“Zeke.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“thank you. “For stopping him.”

“It’s just a temporary measure.”

“If you become really strong…

“Just because humans become stronger, they cannot stop the rain or wind.”

“Isn’t that the same for him?”

“no. “He is the one who will stop the rain god by twisting his neck.”

“I don’t know. “Rather, if the time is right, let’s go together.”

“Where do you mean?”

“A precious person is now at the palace. “When you heard that Regin was injured, you put everything aside to come.”

“Your Majesty says you are a precious person, so I can guess.”

“Your name is Cardinal Le Sulet.”

” ah!”

“You may have already met me, but I am the person who will succeed His Holiness the Great when he dies.”

“You were hearing that kind of evaluation even 10 years ago. All right. “I will have to meet you at least once anyway.”

April took Zeke to the royal guesthouse.

Even though 10 years have passed, Le Sulet has barely aged.

The slanted eyes and hooked nose made him look a little scary.

He was contemplating out the window, resting his chin on the cardinal’s cane.

The guesthouse attendant let out a sonorous voice.

“Her Majesty April Le Verde is in the coffin.”

Cardinal Le Sulet got up from the sofa.

Although there was no superiority or inferiority in power, the king, emperor, and cardinals were treated with the same respect as ministers.

Even when we met each other, we used to set etiquette for each other based on that.

Queen April kissed the Cardinal’s ring, and the Cardinal politely accepted her kiss.

“I heard that Her Majesty the Queen was seriously injured.”

“Your Majesty has shown great interest in Idazi, so I would like to express my gratitude on behalf of our Verde royal family.”

“Gukseo is a member of the royal family, but

he is also one of the Seonghwangcheong Zodiac Knights. “He is a great warrior and a special child of God. How could you not be worried?”

“He was injured while fighting a demon. I hope God will give you great grace.”

“also! When I heard that such an outstanding knight had been killed, I already expected that there would be a demonic ark. Rather, it seems like this is my first time seeing this driver.”

Cardinal Le Sulet was so worried about Zeke from earlier that he couldn’t stand it.

Although he was dressed in plain clothes, his height and developed muscles made it clear that he was a warrior.

It was unusual that the queen’s knight was not a woman.

April smiled faintly.

“It won’t be the first time we’ve met.”

“Oh, was it a spherical shape? “I guess I met so many people that I couldn’t remember.”

The cardinal looked at Zeke and bowed.

“Please be lenient on my disrespect.”

“no. No wonder you don’t remember .

“I only saw you a few times 11 years ago.”

“It was 11 years ago! It’s such a long time ago. The name?”

“Zeke. “This is Zeke van Jade.”

Le Sulet could not help but be surprised by his answer.

However, the old fox tried to hide his expression and spoke.

“Black warrior!”

Zeke lowered his head again.

At least I couldn’t save April’s face.

But on the other hand, I realized it again

.

It’s just as Deus said.

It looks like the time to stop being human is getting closer.

I didn’t feel anything toward Le Sulet, whom I had once felt fearful of.

Because no one is afraid of ants.

April looked closely at Le Schiele’s expression.

What conclusion will he draw towards the dark warrior Zeke? Feeling that she

needed to gain as much of an advantage as possible,

she immediately opened her mouth.

“Black warrior Zeke. “There is no false accusation in this world more unfair than that.”

“Your Majesty, what do you mean by that?”

“On what basis did the Holy Hwangcheong accuse Zeke of being the Black Hero?”

“Wasn’t the queen also present at the banquet that day?”

“All I saw that day was the curse of the sword on Signy’s back.”

“Isn’t that the proof of the Black Hero

?”

“Think about it. Do curses fall on friends? Or do you rain it on the enemy?”

“Of course, to the enemy…

“Signi’s back was cursed by a demon, so why should she be called a witch?”

“That curse is no ordinary curse.”

“or not?”

“The sword that will destroy humanity has been conceived.”

“So where is the sword?”

“I’m sure the witch Signi knows that.”

“She is also in my palace now. Taking care of my husband in my bedroom. Over the past 10 years, Zeke and Signi, the warriors and saints of the Holy Beach family, have lifted the curse of the magic sword and returned to normal people.”

“That is…”

“I think the Holy Hwangcheong Office will also give its blessing.”

“Please wait a moment, Your Majesty. It is not something you should say one-sidedly like that. The Heresy Society officially

decided to dismiss Mr. Zeke. Not only was he cursed, but he also refused the orders of the Holy Emperor and went into hiding in Neuekan. After that, the Imperial Office sent people several times to ask for reconciliation, but it was Zeke who refused.”

“Have you asked for reconciliation? “Are you asking me to surrender?”

“your majesty. The human monarch is definitely dethroned. However, we, Seonghwangcheong, rule the kingdom of God. “The right to issue a dismissal belongs to His Holiness the Great and cannot be infringed upon even by a human monarch

.”

“You are saying that you will not take back the dismissal given to the Black Hero for the sake of respect.”

“You are saying too much.”

“Then tell me here and now. Is he cursed?”

“That means,

“Isn’t the Cardinal a high-ranking priest in the Holy See? “Can’t you tell whether it’s fallen or not?”

“The devil is cunning and good at deceiving, so it is not easy to see through him.”

“Then when will we find out?”

Le Sulet looked at April with frowning eyes.

“Your Majesty always causes trouble for the Holy Emperor Qing in this way.”

“Instead, aren’t we providing as much support as possible?”

“That’s true.”

“I’ll tell you straight. Please take back the punishment given to the Black Hero and the Witch.’’

“What can Seonghwangcheong get instead?”

“A hero and a saint.

“More powerful than anyone else.”

“There is no weapon that cannot be used.”

“What if I could use it?”

The Cardinal turned his attention to Zeke.

“He has a history of betraying trust, so it won’t be easy to convince the heresy judges.”

“Even if there is a guarantee from King Verde?”

“Your Majesty’s authority is infinite, but it only extends within the Kingdom of Verde.”

Displeasure appeared in the corners of the queen’s eyes.

The favorability rating for Le Sulet was low to begin with.

This was due to the history of using Holly Spindle’s women to trouble Regin.

However, because it was the rising sun, they covered everything and had an easy relationship.

In a way, this request today was like giving him a chance to make up for his mistakes.
