relief?

What relief!?

After hearing the devil's whisper, the captain of the guard couldn't help but start imagining along those words.

Since he ascended the throne, the king has been accused of patricide.

Although he never said it, the captain of the guard who had been standing behind him understood.

Reinhardt has been pained by that rumor.

Moreover, that rumor...

it is true.

In a sense, Reinhardt II was indeed a king who killed his father and ascended the throne.

Even though it was not his intention, he did stain his hands with the blood of his loved ones.

This matter has been torturing the king day and night since more than ten years ago.

The king and queen are so loving, but why don't they have children these years?

The rumor in the streets was that the previous king cursed his son who killed him before his death. Even the details were detailed, and many people secretly regarded it as the truth of the matter.

However, those people don't want to think about what kind of confused father would set such a stupid curse on his son?

Some members of the church even said that King Reinhard offended the gods by killing his father, and thus suffered the punishment of extirpation.

This is even more nonsense!

The king has always been a devout believer. He has never stopped praying every day since he was sensible. Even if he is as noble as he is, he has not abandoned every ritual.

For such a devout believer, even the gods would not have the heart to punish him.

The captain of the guard, who grew up with the king as a close friend since childhood, knew the truth of all this.

Your Majesty, he is afraid.

He was worried that he would pass on the fate of having to kill his father to his children.

Reinhardt understands the pain, so he doesn't want his children to experience the same thing.

Even though everyone is praising His Majesty's bravery and promoting his fearless bravery, the captain of the guard knows the true side of Reinhardt.

Merciful King.

Because of his kindness, he has never been able to get over his painful past.

Every comrade who died to protect him, every choice he had to make, he always kept in mind.

Like shackles, it tortured the king day and night.

So for King Reinhardt, what is real relief...

The captain of the guard, who had always wanted to share the burden for him, had thought about this problem for a long time, but he had never come up with a truly perfect result.

die.

This answer, which he had thought about many times, flashed in his mind the moment the captain of the guard thought about it.

【die】

As long as he can die completely, everything will be over, and he will no longer have to endure torture...

No!!!

His whole body was cold, and the captain of the guard felt that all the blood in his body had coagulated. He didn't want to see that kind of development.

The captain of the guard knew where those rumors came from. He also came from a family and understood the nature of those greedy nobles.

Those great nobles have never given up, and have been waiting like cold poisonous snakes for His Majesty to reveal his flaws.

They claim to be noble, but at their core, they are just a group of idiots who can really see the benefits. If the country is really handed over to their hands, the Rhine Kingdom will really not be far away from being destroyed.

But since the captain of the guard decided to swear loyalty to Reinhardt, he severed ties with the family and completely separated.

The name in the past is no longer important. From then on, he was just the king's captain of the bodyguard.

He is the king's knight, just a knight.

There is only one king in the Kingdom of Rhine now, and there will always be only one king!

"No...uhhhhh!!!"

The captain of the guard wanted to interrupt the devil's whisper, but his body remained in place as it was when he broke in, unable to move at all.

His eyes widened, and the only thing he could control was his own eyeballs.

what happened!

He watched helplessly as the demon next to the king turned back to him and smiled.

!!!

I couldn't see his face clearly, but I could feel the evil aura exuding from his body.

no!

The captain of the guard wanted to resist, but was unable to do anything. He could only listen to the devil continue to bewitch the king:

"Don't you understand yet? You have all been deceived."

"You are not favored by God, at least He has abandoned you long ago."

what are you saying!!?

The captain of the guard himself was also a devout believer, and he couldn't stand the devil's blasphemous speech, and he wanted to curse him.

nonsense!

The Kingdom of the Rhine was built under the blessing of the gods. If the gods don't favor us, why would they do this?

It is simply impossible to deceive the king with such words.

However, the captain of the guard was relieved at this time.

The captain of the guard understood better than anyone else how devout Reinhardt's faith was, even comparable to Bishop Charles who took the initiative to move to Graywater Town.

You know, Bishop Charles was originally an archbishop who was qualified to compete for the next pope.

If he hadn't voluntarily quit for the sake of the purity of his faith, he would have almost been chosen as the next pope.

It is impossible for Your Majesty to be deceived by such words...

But at this time, Reinhardt, who had been silent all this time, spoke, causing the guard captain Matsushita's heart to collapse instantly.

After thinking for a moment, Reinhardt asked:

"Are all these things you said true?"

!!!

The captain of the guard wanted to scream, but the king seemed not to see him.

Don't listen to the devil!

Where are the other guards!?

Come and stop this!

We cannot let the devil continue to tempt His Majesty!

The captain of the guard roared silently and begged the king with his eyes not to listen to the devil's words.

But it's of no use.

The devil nodded and said in an extremely sure tone:

"It's true. You've actually known it for a long time, right?"

"Who can do such a thing? You wouldn't have thought of it. You already knew it, but you just didn't dare to face reality and hate it."

"Or, even though you hate it, you are also somewhat grateful, thanking Him for mercifully allowing you to stay with them?"

"Or are you saying that you don't know the solution?"

Mockingly, the demon shrugged and spread its bat wings.

Wow!

Opening his arms widely, the devil's bat wings reflected the reflection of fire in the dark night.

Like the embodiment of evil, or a symbol of depravity.

He said:

"Think about it! Think about the scarlet moon shining in the sky."

"Those are His eyes."

"The existence that appreciates your miserable experiences and laughs secretly has been staring at you with that eye."

Is this red moonlight a gift?
