Chapter 174: Return of the regent

Translated by SoundDestiny

Edited by SoundDestiny

A large number of demons have broken out across the continent, but the Kingdom of Zain has finally regained its footing.

The majority of the demons that came to the area were defeated because of the early dispatch of troops and knights. The most common area of the city was the frontier city, but the damage was controlled by the barriers put up by the dark witch, Neimilia.

“Yareyare……I’m back at last. I don’t want to see any demons for the time being.”

Inside the royal palace, where he has returned after half a month, Raidorl stretches his arms wide to the ceiling. 𝗯𝐞𝗱𝐧𝐨𝘃𝐞𝐥.𝗼𝗿𝐠

Until a few days ago, Raidorl had been working hard to defeat the demons in the frontier city, but now he was finally able to return to the royal palace.

Raidorl had been on the front lines fighting demons for a while now and his whole body was exhausted, especially his legs and feet which were heavy as lead.

“I have a feeling it’s something else that’s affecting my back…….”

“………..”

“Can I help you, master?”

“No……”

Raidorl looks back at Neimilia, who is walking a step behind him, and shakes his head delicately.

When they entered the palace, they were greeted by Sven Arbeil, the young prime minister, along with his maids and knights.

“Welcome back, Your Highness, Raidorl. We have been expecting your return.”

Sven bends his back politely and bows his head.

In the past, Sven had worked as Raidorl’s military commander, but now he was in charge of politics as the prime minister.

As regent, Raidorl was able to leave the palace because Sven took care of all the political affairs for him.

“Did you encounter any problems while I was away?”

“None. Government affairs have gone smoothly. We had to raise funds to help the areas affected by the earthquake and the demons, but fortunately we had a lot of ‘extra income’, so that was not a problem.”

The “extra income” that Sven refers to is the property of the nobles who were ousted in the recent purge.

The money was seized by the Order and placed in the treasury.

They use these funds to buy food, clothing, and other necessities from the Empire and send them to various locations.

“And …… it seems that some former nobles tried to break into the court and misbehave, but Angelica stopped them.”

“My condolences to Angelica….”

Raidorl had sent his soldiers to fight the demons, but Angelica Ilkas was the only one who stayed behind at the palace.

The purpose of her stay is to guard the palace, but she also refuses to go on the trip because he doesn’t want to be away from Sven.

Even after Sven became the Prime Minister, Angelica was still the same, finding time to stick close to him and play cat and mouse with him.

The invasion of the former nobles into the palace may be revenge for Sven, who forced them into a purge, but Angelica will not allow it.

It is horrible to imagine how the captured nobles are treated.

“We have received reports from the military leaders who have been dispatched to various locations. There is still a large number of demons, but the damage seems to be within the expected range.”

“Well, I guess I won’t have to move.”

“But ……,the Oigist Sentry who rules the town of Raddockhorn, reports that it will still take some time to deal with the sea monster. After all, the damage is likely to continue until we have a navy.”

“Hmmm ……no martial arts master can walk on the sea or breathe underwater. That’s just the way it is.”

“And one more thing. There’s one more thing Oigist the Thousand Horsemen wants to speak to you privately, and he’s on his way here from Raddockhorn. I expect him to arrive tomorrow.”

Sven reported with a curious look on his face.

Raddockhorn has been hit not only by the earthquake but also by the tsunami, and the town is particularly difficult to deal with because of the demons that have appeared in the distant seas.

This is why Raidorl sent Justy, his trusted subordinate, to go and help the restoration of the town, but what is it that he wants to discuss directly with Raidorl?

“……That doesn’t sound like a very good report. It reeks of trouble.”

“……, isn’t it? I hope it’s not too big a problem.”

Raidorl and Sven sigh when they look at each other, but Neimilia, who had been silent for a while, forcibly interrupts.

“Then you must get some rest while you still can! Let’s go and have a hot bath!”

“It’s a good idea”! Neimilia clapped her hands and with a big smile on her face, she twirled around and flipped her skirt.

“After the bath, it’s time for dinner! Tonight I’m going to make a lot of dishes that will cheer you up!!”

“…… You’re not going to let me rest. I’m begging you, let me sleep.”

Neimilia smiled lively, and Raidorl paled at the thought of the night.
