The Demon King’s Seal Has Been Broken - Chapter 47



47 – Part 2 The Fall of the Princess (Hero Tournament) – 1

“Ugh… annoying.”

Princess Lesia, she had briefly visited the warrior’s village a while ago.

His younger sister, the second princess, Anastasia, who was plotting a rebellion, went to the warrior’s village to catch and interrogate her.

However, as a result of going there, I couldn’t get any results at all.

Because of this, she was quite annoyed right now.

“Why the hell do I have to suffer like this?”

To be honest, the cause made a lot of sense.

An existence that causes rebellion in the empire, of course, as the ruler of the empire, it was an existence that could never be tolerated and should not be left alone.

Of course, it was right to take action by any means.

That’s why the princess’ actions can be said to be very natural and justified.

However, even so, she couldn’t realize the action.

It was because of the existence of the hero Rag.

The hero, Rag, was defending Anastasia, and because of that, Lesia had no choice but to run away, almost being kicked out.

“I couldn’t even get it right.”

To be honest, at first, Lesia tried to argue with the hero Rag.

Do you know what you are doing right now, no matter how much you are a hero who can defeat the demon lord, defending the rebels, you can never overlook this.

She was about to say that if he behaved like this any longer, he would consider him a rebel and become hostile to him.

Again, because she was acting fairly justly and justly.

Even if I went to the village of warriors in the first place, I wasn’t too scared.

That’s why I tried to courageously say that I was a warrior who tried to kill myself a while ago.

But, I couldn’t.

When I saw the warrior, I couldn’t speak at all.

In front of Rag, he couldn’t say anything like a mute who had eaten honey.

“Huh…”

To be honest, there is no other way to explain it than that I was afraid.

The fear that comes from the asymmetry of overwhelming power,

Even if there were hundreds of troops protecting the princess, they would forgive them, but compared to the lions, they were just an army of ants.

Upon knowing that, her courage was quickly waned.

I realized that courage comes from being somewhat equal.

I realized that courage cannot come out of such a situation where I am not even an opponent.

“It’s a shame… It’s such a shame.”

Princess Lecia hadn’t had a chance to realize this until now.

It was because she was born as a princess and had never experienced the experience of being pushed by someone for power and power.

Certainly, in this situation, I had no choice but to feel it and realize it desperately.

And when I realized that, I was so upset.

The feeling of defeat and frustration that I have never seen before in my life.

“It’s a shame.”

After being pushed by only one warrior, the result came back without even producing any results.

Just coming back after eating a lot of shame, this was the only result that was too difficult for her to accept.

She was a princess herself, and she was someone who shouldn’t have experienced something like this, so what the hell was she doing?

“… How? I have to come up with a way.”

Although she wanted to be frustrated at this moment, she chose to think of another way rather than being frustrated.

He must somehow make up for this figure and solidify his position.

Because that was an outstanding princess, and a princess who was respected by everyone and had her ideal.

She had no intention of giving up here.

“Hmm… It’s a really bad situation.”

Before thinking about a method, I decided to organize the situation objectively.

To be honest, the situation was not very good.

No, it might be right to say it’s very bad.

His absolute power began to shake due to the resurrection of the demon king.

Originally, if all 20 cities of the empire obeyed the princess absolutely, and the people respected her.

Now things are starting to change little by little. Two of the 20 cities of the empire turned their backs on the princess and went into Anastasia’s hands.

Only 2 out of 20 went in, but the fact that it cracked was so important.

Because things that never had to be shaken started to shake.

Perhaps, at this rate, it wouldn’t make much sense for all other cities to fall to Anastasia.

In addition, public sentiment did not look very good.

The warriors’ party set out to defeat the demon king, and since they did not return, bad rumors were spreading day by day.

She felt as if she was being branded as an incompetent princess.

Also, lastly, even the hero was not on his side.

I don’t know if the hero is completely on Anastasia’s side yet, but at least the hero will never be on his side.

There were such things, but there was no way the hero would take his side.

Considering all these circumstances, it would be correct to call it a total crisis in many ways.

How could this have happened? I thought about that for a while, but rather than thinking about it, it would be more correct to think about what I can do now.

I had to make up for this situation somehow.

“Is there any better way?”

She started thinking of a way.

A very groundbreaking way to break all of these situations.

Is there any way to win back the people’s heart, to regain the trust of the nobles, and to put the might of a warrior in his hands?

He continued his thoughts.

After racking her brains for hours, she tried to think of a way…

“There’s no way there’s no way…”

Of course, I didn’t think of it at all.

If I could think of such a good method for a while and then come up with it, I would have thought of it a long time ago and put it into practice.

She despaired when she realized that there was no such thing as a very poor all-purpose tool.

No matter how much I thought about it, it didn’t come to mind.

“Huh… Damn it.”

He vowed to return the shame he felt now, this shame, but he was so desperate.

Knowing that he was so helpless, he only vented his anger by banging on the desk.

When she was annoyed for a while and then ended up lying on her desk and sighing.

And then, something caught her eye.

“Ah…! Is this…?”

What caught her eye was a document about the arena.

The arena where countless warriors from the empire gather, this is a darker part of the empire where money is exchanged.

Nevertheless, it was a document about the city in charge of the entertainment of the empire and its festival.

A document with nothing special about it, budgeting for the arena this year.

In a way, it was just a document, but Lecia got an idea after reading this document.

With the document in her hand, she had no choice but to kick off her desk and get up.

I didn’t know if I had this, I might have been able to solve everything.

Because this was like a master key to solve all situations.

“Isn’t the problem now that I don’t have a hero?”

Let’s summarize the current situation.

In this situation, which was a total crisis, it was a situation where a trick was needed to restore power, win the hearts of the nobles, and even defeat the demon king.

In this situation, in the end, there was only one thing she needed so much, and one thing she didn’t have.

It was the absence of a hero.

He desperately needed a hero who could defeat the demon king and a hero who would give him strength, but he had come to this situation because he didn’t have one.

If you think about it, the method was so simple.

“I’m picking up a new hero…!”

Now that this has happened, it was a matter of choosing a new party of warriors to defeat the demon king.

A hero who would restore his power.

It was a matter of having a strong warrior to support him.

“If the hero’s party defeats the demon lord, surely…”

If that hero formed a warrior party and defeated the demon king, wouldn’t Lesia achieve everything?

He will take revenge on the Rag warrior who humiliated him, and if that happens, the nobles will turn to Lesia’s side again.

It was obvious that public sentiment would also recognize Lesia as the princess.

Everything would go back to where it should be.

If you choose the right warriors, you will be able to solve all the problems you have right now.

No matter how you think about it, it was a good idea, and it must have been a good choice.

“Yeah… sure. I’m a genius.”

Lesia smiled in admiration for her brilliant idea.

At the moment of crisis, admiring her own head for thinking of such a good method, her worries flew away.

“It’s not like this. Let’s start quickly.”

Anyway, for now, it’s more about running than liking.

I had a rough idea, so I just needed the power to execute it.

Lesia started writing something down on a piece of paper.

There was a bit of a blockage after writing it down, but she thought about it and finished filling the paper.

[Heroes party, preliminary round.]

A piece of paper with the title written on it.

The princess held this document and headed to her secretary.
