Part 2

“……………”

Was it possible to read the sadness of a friend who was now feeling distant?
But in the meantime, Mary went out of the conference room with Germ and the others.

While waiting, everyone, including Keith, was served coffee.

“Occasionally it’s good to drink coffee, right Demon King-sama?”
“… I see, I thought Diana only like tea.”
“Demon King-sama! I’m not good with bitter things!”

As Aleira took out her tongue from bitterness, Ginlow tried to drink the coffee.

“Don’t fuss about it. You can use my cream.”
“Thank you, Ginlow!”

Next to them, Victor threw sugar cubes into his cup.

“The preparation is over. I will guide you.”

A little while after drinking coffee, one of the ministers came with a guard.

“Please enter here”

The nobles, the king, the general, the Demon King, and the four heavenly kings.
Walked on the corridor.

There a beautiful lady appeared.
She was bowing at the passing people.
When Keith sneaked into the castle — she was the woman who had a conversation with him.

“It’s been a long time.”

Keith said that to the woman who had covered her mouth with a folding fan.
The Minister quickly introduced them.

“This is the Demon King … Demon King this is Emelia.”

Upon hearing that, the woman smiled softly.

“Well, so it’s like that. But this is our first meeting. I’ll never forget that splendid horns if I had met you before. My name is Emelia.”

As expected of someone with royal blood.
Though the important king had become a shell.

“I’m Demon King Keith. Surely this is the first time you see this appearance … I wonder what about this.”

–【Disguise】.

“It’s been a long time, Emelia-sama”

After seeing Keith suddenly changed to a guard, Emelia seemed astonished.
The surrounding ministers also took a step backwards.

“If I’m not wrong, right, Keith Aldberg … should I call you Your Majesty?”

Keith laughed when he cancelled [Disguise].

“I am honored that you remembered it.”

Emelia also smiled.

“Sure, the moon that night was beautiful. Though it was a noisy night.”
“No matter how loud the lower world is, the night sky is still quiet.”
“That’s right.”

The ministers were standing still, waiting for the conversation to ends.
The one who talked was the Demon King.
There was no way they could tell him to hurry.

Emelia seemed to notice the situation.

“Ara, it looks like I’m in your way.”
“I’ll see you again”
“Yes, definitely”

They bowed to each other.
The group started walking again.

“That woman earlier … who is Emelia?”

Keith asked one of the ministers.

“Emelia-sama is the sister of His Majesty ”
“Their age is too far apart. It’s good that their faces don’t look alike.”

The signing ceremony took place in the courtyard of the castle.
A magnificent tent was set up, and a large table was set in the center.
There were two scrolls that could decide the fate of both countries.

“Then put your sign on it.”

Keith and the king, who kept saying ‘Demon King scary’, signed the scrolls
When the minister murmured something, the king nodded and opened his mouth.

“Well … um … here? Tristram kingdom and the Demon Kingdom uhm … He, he, here I declare the establishment of diplomatic relations”

A big applause resounded.

(Now I am the king of a country. Can I move this country?)

Keith thought.

(If one country moves, the other countries will also move. Then the continent will also move by itself …)

Such a strange feeling.
It felt a little scary, but at the bottom of his heart, Keith was excited.

“……………”

When Keith noticed, the king was closing his eyes and raised his hand.
Keith squeezed it tightly.

“It, it hurts … scary …”
“So rude!”

With this, Tristram Kingdom recognized the Demon Kingdom as a country and established diplomatic relation.

“Then, let’s end it today. I’m glad we had a meaningful talk. From now on, take care of me, Your Majesty the King.”
“Demon King scary …
“We will discuss the development and trade routes later. Aleira.”
“Yes, yes!”

Aleira casted a spell.
A violent wind blew, the tent fluttered, and the garden trees swinging.
Then a black lump appeared when thunder strike the ground – [Gate].

“Well then, excuse us.”

When the five people disappeared in the [Gate], all the other peoples there sighed.
It’s like a dream.
But the scroll on the king’s hand told them that it was reality.
