Royal Castle Side: Condemnation Event and the Demon King
When it came time for Ains, the second prince of this country, to address the audience, the hall was buzzing.
The royal guard knights suddenly entered the venue and stood in front of the nobles, leaving the center of the venue vacant.
Not only that, but the butler Myce, the son of the Knight Commander of the royal guard's son Romel, and the Prime Minister's second son Nyle are standing behind Ains, and the saint Sylvie is standing next to Ains, where his fiance, Fran Saint, should normally be standing.
This strange atmosphere caused a roar in the venue. At that moment, a cry echoed through the venue.
"Silence! Everyone!"
At the sound of Ains' voice, the commotion in the venue subsided for the time being, and everyone waited for Ains' next words.
"Daughter of the Duke, Fran Saint! Come in front of me!"
At those words, the venue was buzzing again, and the nobles who were standing in front of Fran quietly moved out of the way.
Fran gently touched the ring on her right hand and slowly headed towards the center of the venue, which was vacated by the knights. To others, it would have looked like she was frightened by an unexpected situation.
Fran stood in front of Ains and bowed slowly.
"Fran Saint. It is my pleasure to come before you."
Ains smiled at that appearance and then spoke.
"Fran. Do you know why you were called here?"
Fran answered with her head bowed.
"I'm sorry, Your Highness. I have no idea."
"In that case, I will explain it to you in a way that you can understand. I, Ains Saltpurge, declare that I will break off my engagement with Fran Saint and marry the saint Sylvie who was sent to this country!"
With these words, the room became even more noisy and chaotic. Some did not hide their agitation, some gave applause and cheers, and some held their heads and let out a sigh...
Even so, Fran remained silent and kept her head bowed.
"I don't understand why, Fran? I hear you were bullying Sylvie, the saint here, at the academy, right?"
"I have no idea about that."
"Hmph. No matter how much you deny it, we already have testimonies from the women who were your cronies."
When she looked in the direction Ains was pointing, there were young ladies who looked frightened. It was true that these girls were junior from the academy who had come to visit Fran.
"That's not all! You were secretly communicating with the demons and aiming for my life!"
These words made the hall even more noisy. No way, it was a daughter of a noble family... and it was outrageous that a member of the ducal family had secretly communicated with the demons and was aiming for the life of the royal family.
"I have no idea about that."
Fran firmly denies it without getting upset. She said it calmly and solemnly, as if she had no choice but to end this series of farces as quickly as possible.
"Is that all you can say, like a fool? On the day the academy was attacked, the students of the school saw you running away with the demon!"
"Your Highness, I didn't go to the academy that day. Besides, I received a report from the royal family that it was an accident caused by Ains-sama."
Fran glared back at Ains coldly. Just remembering that day made Fran feel sick.
"That must have been because the duke's family infiltrated the school to cover up the incident! You used the failed assassination as a tool to trap me! You cowardly vixen!"
Fran remains unfazed even though he shouts at her harshly. Feeling irritated by this, Ains speaks his last words.
"This country doesn't need a lion-like worm like you! I will capture you right here, right now, and execute you in the coming days!""
A voice similar to a scream echoed through the hall, and the commotion within the hall grew even louder.
"Then I'll take Fran Ojou."
The voices in the hall fell silent at the sudden sound of a voice. The voice was that of a young man with a somewhat solemn atmosphere.
Suddenly, the hall was silent, and the lights flickered on and off, and a mysterious figure appeared next to Fran.
The figure was wearing a black suit reminiscent of a butler, and on his face was a full-face armor with a rounded, inorganic appearance that they had never seen before. What caught their eyes most of all were the large bat-like wings on its back.
That alone made everyone realize that an inhuman being had manifested in this place.
"You! Who are you!"
Romel, who was behind Ains, stepped forward as if to protect Ains and Sylvie and drew his sword, and the surrounding knights followed suit, drawing their swords and surrounding the mysterious man.
In response, screams and angry voices rose from the surrounding nobles, causing a commotion once again.
"Silence!"
The man suddenly let out a loud roar and released a powerful mana, making the hall quiet. The people around break out in a cold sweat due to the extraordinary mana.
"If you ask me who I am, I will answer. I am a Demon King."
The man replied, and faced Ains without suppressing his powerful mana.
