Child Rearing Hero and Children of the Demon King - Chapter 47

Chapter 47

Not good, I thought .




As the days passed, the Princess continued assaulting Iric, while the mature beauty continued her violent attack of wanting me to hand over the children to her .
The investigation of the Demon King’s castle has progressed considerably and the Demon King’s death has been mostly confirmed, so I who was in my room thought that my work here was finished as well .
Therefore, I was in the process of leaving . Brining Iric and Ilya along, I was escaping from the Princess and the mature beauty today as well .

I did consult with His Majesty, but he muttered “Our daughter is already… like that, you know, what do I say, like that, so… “ quietly, he was speaking fondly of the mature beauty who became his wife though .

This country is done for, I thought . His Majesty is a good person, but there are many things going on . I had thoughts of escaping through the corridor at the edge of the castle and returning to my parents’ home, but it would become troublesome once I have returned .
That’s because the ones I am bringing along are the Demon King’s children . I don’t think I would be persecuted, but I would be beaten up .




Both my grandparents and parents are open-minded, but great-grandparents are scary in various ways .
They are master magicians, so they might want to experiment on the children . I would like to avoid that .

“… As I thought, we have to escape at night…”

There are many things to be scared of, but escaping first and guaranteeing the safety of the twins might be the best option .

“Are we going to escape, Onii~san?”

Ilya looked up at me with an innocent expression .

“Night fleeing! Great! I have never done that before!”

Iric was delighted for some reason .

“Yes . I would feel a bit sad if you did that before . ”

If the Demon King’s children had experience in fleeing at night, I would be scared in a different kind of meaning .

“Sounds fun . How do we escape?”

Ilya was apparently excited too . She has grown tired of the mature beauty’s “Please become my adopted children . ” attack, so she might not be in a mood to accompany her antics anymore .

“Let’s see… anyhow, there are many things to think about . ”

Anyway, this is a castle . There are strong security precautions and a strict guard .
Breaking through the defenses wouldn’t be impossible for me who stormed the Demon King’s castle by himself, but I would like to avoid being a wanted man .
Therefore, I would like to slip out peacefully .

“… Is there no secret path or something?”

I wonder if there’s a royalty-only escape passage or something .
I want one to exist . I would like to stealthily escape from there .
　
Anyhow, I was tired .
