Royal Castle Side: Demon King's Condemnation Event
"I-if it's the Demon King... then, Fran was secretly communicating with the demons after all!"
Ains managed to stop his body, which seemed like it was about to retreat at any moment, and put on a false front.
"I don't care what you think, but if this country is going to abandon Fran Ojou, I'll accept her."
"What a selfish thing to do! That person is a great sinner! You are an evil demon king! I will not let you escape from this place!"
Ains shouted as he pulled out the sword hanging from his waist and confronted the Demon King.
"Everyone! Come!"
With Romel's cry, the royal guard knights began to move all at once. But...
"Area middle heal..."
The light magic filled the whole venue, centered around the Demon King. It's a warm, comfortable torrent of light...
It's like remembering their childhood days when they were held by their mothers...
By the time the light magic subsided enough to make everyone feel that way, the royal guard knights naturally dropped their swords.
"What was I doing...?"
"Hey! Why are we drawing our swords in a place like this!"
The knights were confused and did not understand the current situation, some of the nobles were holding their heads and kneeling down, and some of the children of the nobles were screaming.
It fell into a state of confusion and was gripped by a cold sensation that was the exact opposite of the warmth they felt earlier.
"What did you do! You!"
Ains asks the Demon King. It's to get rid of his inner anxiety...
"Prince Ains, you should have noticed. I have now removed the [hypnosis] skill that was placed on the knights and nobles."
The hall fell silent at those words. Shocking words that Prince Ains had [hypnotized] them...
"Wha, damn it!"
Ains's entourage also just stood there dumbfounded. They were also unable to accept the situation after being released from Ains' [hypnosis] and froze.
Ains tried to [hypnotize] his entourage again, but...
"It's no use. I stole your [hypnosis] skill. You can't use it again."
At that moment, Sylvie, whose time had stopped, suddenly begins to move.
"No, nooo… noooooo!!"
Sylvie suddenly went crazy, screamed and collapsed on the spot. The area middle heal has broken her because the [brainwashing], [memory orb], and [hypnosis] that held her captive have all been released at once, and her true personality has denied her everything she has lived for.
"Damn it! You are an evil demon king after all! You will be defeated here along with that worm!"
"If I am an evil demon king, what are you? Aren't you the true evil, the worm?"
"What did you say! You!"
Ignoring Ains' cry, the Demon King snapped his fingers.
Then, some paper was scattered around the venue like confetti. It was documents and photos. The nobles looked up at this, which they couldn't understand at first glance.
"T-This is……"
The nobles are filled with turmoil.
It is a photo of the fornication that Ains committed at the academy, a deed that was fraudulently traded with a nobleman in the north, a secret account book, a photo of transactions with unscrupulous people, abuse of church members, and a link between Ains and the church...
Evidence of all wrongdoings dances around the hall.
Some scream, some turn pale, some get angry, some cry...
Ains lost his sanity due to the repeated outrages and the revelation of his own evil deeds...
"How dare you, how dare you, how dare youーーー!! Youーーー!!"
Ains raised his sword and attacked the Demon King, but the Demon King knocked Ains away with a flash of his sword.
"To defeat a Demon King with something like that... it's disappointing. As you wished, I, the Demon King, have come! Show me how serious you are!"
The Demon King points his sword at Ains. It was not warm like the light magic, nor was it mana, but it directed a cold, serious murderous intent toward Ains.
"That's enough! Demon King-dono!"
Everyone present was shocked to hear that voice. The person there was Schwartz Saltpage, the crown prince of the kingdom, who was rumored to be in poor health.
"For this incident, I apologize on behalf of my foolish brother. Fran Saint, the daughter of the Duke Saint. I apologize for the trouble my foolish brother has caused you and for the unnecessary suspicion he has aroused. I am sorry."
Schwartz said as he bowed his head.
"Demon King, your anger is warranted. However, could you leave it to us, the royal family of the kingdom, to dispose of my foolish brother and judge the nobles and church who committed injustice?"
Silence continues between the Demon King and Schwartz for a while. The nobles could only watch with bated breath.
"I have no interest in that fool or the nobles. What I want is Fran Saint's freedom. If you entrusts her to me, I will leave everything to Schwartz-dono."
What the Demon King wants is Fran's custody... The nobles and Ains are shocked and dumbfounded by this unexpected request. He then turned his attention to Fran, the person who was the key to this occasion.
Her answer could even cause a fight with the Demon King.
The noblemen held their breath again and stared at Fran.
"Fran Saint. You can answer whatever you want."
Schwartz smiled kindly at Fran and urged her to answer. Then, a cool and pretty voice gently echoed in the silent room.
"I will go with you, Demon King-sama."
The Demon King heard those words and hugged Fran. Then, as if not to let go of her, he gently but forcefully held her in his arms, turned to Schwartz, bowed, and disappeared.
In this way, Schwartz, the crown prince of this country, was able to control the series of disturbances and the attack of the Demon King by means of persuasion.
