74 – The Seven Monarchs’ Conference (4)

“We will now begin the meeting regarding the agenda of the Seven Lords.”

The long-awaited meeting has finally begun.

The monarchs let out a sigh as if they had been waiting for a long time.

“It’s just beginning.”

“Thank you for your hard work, Seven Lords.”

The monarchs are already preparing to send me away, even though my punishment has not yet been handed down.

I’m sorry, but I didn’t intend to leave so easily.

“I should start by asking why. Seventh Lord. What happened? Why did you kill the Third Lord?”

Ariel asked with a very serious expression. It seemed like she had no intention of just passing through the place.

‘Okay, let’s do it.’

If you slip here, all the hard work you’ve put into building the foundation will collapse.

I took a deep breath and slowly opened my mouth.

“I killed him because he deserved it.”

The expressions of the monarchs turn cold as I say this.

“what?”

“He was a total lunatic.”

“A blood feud between monarchs is not possible without the permission of the Grand Monarch. Surely you wouldn’t say you didn’t know that, would you, Seven Monarchs?”

“Guilty. You must be stripped of your throne immediately and that filthy hide must be taken away. Your Majesty!”

“Okay, everyone, be quiet. Let’s continue listening to the story of the Seven Lords.”

Those guys who only kept their mouths shut when the overlord tried to stop them. I opened my mouth again.

“It was self-defense. He tried to kill me. So I killed him first. Do you need any other reason?”

“Seventh Lord. It seems you left your brain at home. Since you invaded the territory of the Third Lord first, it was only natural that you would attack first. It seems you can’t even think this basic way.”

I smiled with a relaxed expression.

One of the Lord of Destruction’s eyebrows goes up.

“I barged in? Who the hell said something like that?”

“It looks like you’re going to burn even the slightest flame. All the lords here know of your misdeeds. Stop thinking of making a fool of yourself and confess your crimes. Then I’ll kill you with less pain.”

Suddenly.

I got up from my seat.

At the same time, the monarchs also rose and aimed their weapons at my neck.

Your eyes will widen at the incredible speed.

‘…Look at that gruesome thing.’

I raised both hands as if to calm down.

The monarchs glanced at Ariel.

As she nods, the men put away their weapons one by one.

“Don’t act rashly. This is not a place for you to move around freely.”

I nodded to the words of the Lord of the Black Sea.

Ariel, who had been watching the scene, opens her mouth with a smile.

“It looks like the Seven Lords need to go to the bathroom?”

“Your Majesty-! Are you kidding me in this situation?”

“… No, everyone is too serious.”

Ariel caresses her cheek with a dead face.

I swallowed my sigh.

‘As befits a great monarch… .’

The reason she behaved this way was simple.

It indirectly shows that no matter what I do, it poses no threat to me.

For example, it was like this.

Is it scary when a 7-year-old suddenly stands up from a scolding? No, it’s just cute.

The overlord will probably think similarly.

“I just want to check something for a moment. Rosaria, if you don’t mind, can I sit there?”

Rosaria tilted her head, then nodded.

She stood up. I sat down on the chair.

The monarchs look at me with disgusted faces.

“Okay, let me ask you something. Am I now invading Rosaria’s place?”

“What are you doing? Are you trying to make a joke?”

The Lord of Destruction tried to raise my body.

However, Rosaria stops it.

“You have a hasty personality. There’s a reason you’re unattractive. Let’s hear what you have to say. Sixth Lord.”

“Get out, Rosaria. Before I tear you to pieces.”

“What if you don’t like it?”

“I’ll kill you here.”

In the midst of the gruesome conversation, I spoke to the Lord of Light.

“Tell me, 1st Lieutenant. Did I just invade Rosaria’s position?”

“I didn’t trespass. I asked permission.”

I nodded.

“That’s right. I just asked Rosaria’s permission and sat down.”

“so?”

“I did not invade the territory of the Three Lords, I had formal permission. But he attacked me anyway. So I killed him first. Is there a problem?”

The lord of my words’ destruction intervened.

“You are making a lot of excuses. Seven monarchs. Three monarchs are not the type to welcome the visit of another monarch.”

“Is there any evidence?”

“evidence?”

“This is proof that the three monarchs did not allow me to enter.”

“This is a serious place where you will be judged for your crimes. It is you, not me, who should be presenting the evidence.”

‘I knew you’d act like that.’

He lifted his mouth and twisted it.

“I have a witness. I have given formal permission to the subordinates of the three lords.”

It was 100% true.

When I enter the sea in front of the Three Lords Castle.

The soldier guarding the entrance opened the door for me.

“Tch, tch, you’re talking nonsense. Do you dare to think that a demon soldier can give permission on behalf of the monarch?”

The Lord of Destruction glares at me with a smirk.

I opened my mouth as if I had been waiting.

“You seem to not know the authority of a sentry, even though you are a monarch.”

Sentry authority.

The sentry has the immense power to verify the identity of outsiders and allow entry at will.

Therefore, at the moment they stand guard, they too can have power no less powerful than the monarch.

“There is no way that could happen. How dare a mere soldier take the place of a monarch. Your Majesty! Speak. Is there such a thing?”

“Yeah, I have it.”

The Lord of Destruction’s complexion darkened in an instant.

It seems like he really wanted to kill me.

“If what the Seven Lords say is true, I should think about it.”

Ariel put her index finger to her chin and made a thoughtful expression.

‘Ariel… What on earth are you thinking?’

She also knows that I am Ronald.

That means this is a matter that could result in my being removed from my position and even my immediate execution.

But why only deal with the issue of the three monarchs?

It was also the fact that I was still of use to her.

‘… If we keep going like this, we can get out.’

The Lord of Destruction is also trolling on his own. The other Lords will also follow the Grand Lord’s opinion.

If you do well, you can get through it safely.

“Where is that witness?”

The Lord of Destruction said, gritting his teeth.

“Why, are you thinking of killing me?”

“Okay, I’ll find a way to make you guilty.”

“I’m sorry, but you won’t be able to find it. I’m protecting it very well.”

I made the most grim expression possible.

He’s glaring at me as if he’s going to kill me at any moment.

“Your Majesty-! What are you going to do? Is he innocent? I can’t accept it. I’m going to tear this guy apart here and now…”

That was when.

-Bang!

A large hole appears in the wall of the conference room, and a woman flies in helplessly and gets stuck there.

It was a person I knew very well.

“… Seina?”

I opened my mouth in a panicked voice. Judging from the way I looked, I was sure I had been fighting with someone.

“You’re rude. You’re in the middle of a meeting.”

“Seven Lords. Are they your subordinates?”

The other monarchs also glared at me as if they were displeased with this situation.

Be that as it may, I just hope I never run into that guy again.

“…Gerard.”

Seina wipes the blood from her mouth and gets up from her seat.

“What’s going on?”

“…that is.”

Thud thud.

Just then, someone walked into the large hole.

“I’m sorry, but you’re in the middle of a meeting. You’re being rude, and I ended up causing trouble by teaching you. I’ll punish you. But before that, I’ll clean up that mess first.”

I let out a sigh.

The thing I was worried about ended up happening.

‘… Eustein.”

Seina’s enemy and former warrior’s comrade.

I never dreamed that he would be here.

“Clean it up quickly.”

The Lord of Destruction gave orders to Justine.

The guy approaches Seina and tries to grab her wrist.

“Follow me. I have more to say…”

Thud!

I grabbed that guy’s hand.

“Stop.”

“You are the 7th monarch. I have heard much from you. Oh, it seems this young wolf is your subordinate.”

The guy opened his mouth with a blank expression.

I glared at him with a cold face.

“Did you make this?”

“I’m sorry. I was trying to be lighthearted, but it seems I went a little too far. I apologize.”

I summoned a blunderbuss with my free hand.

A shotgun formation with a blue light appears in your hand.

“I can’t get it through with my mouth. I’ll have to make at least one or two holes.”

“Seven Lords. Don’t overstep your bounds.”

Phew!

At that moment, darkness slowly gathered and the shape of a skeleton holding a large scythe appeared above me.

It was undoubtedly the work of the monarch of destruction.

“You’re going to break my favorite toy. Do you think I’ll just let you do it?”

“I thought you hated humans.”

“Does that guy look human to you?”

I put my index finger on the trigger.

“That doesn’t matter. It seems like a fight with you is unavoidable now.”

“Wait, that wouldn’t be so bad. I could treat you like my plaything.”

The Lord of Destruction says so and bites the skull.

“Justin. Die by the hands of the Seven Lords. That is your final role.”

“All right.”

“Your Majesty. If he kills my subordinate, I believe that will be sufficient cause for a duel. Is that correct?”

Ariel, who had been quietly watching the situation, opened her mouth and raised her head.

“That’s right.”

As soon as he finished saying that, I pulled the trigger.

Kwaaang!
