Part 5
The residence of the Holy King in the White City.
It was a blue sky today, and the Holy King was feeling so good that he went out on the balcony to look down on the castle town.
The Holy King says as he strokes his proud white beard.
“It feels good to look down on those who work so hard.”
He had no heart of compassion for his people.
Rather, he has a personality that finds pleasure in the sight of people suffering.
For the Holy King, even human life is his own.
Even making the Holy Knights disposable did not hurt his heart.
Surrounded by beautiful women, they are devoted to pleasing the Holy King.
It was at that moment.
Rushing onto the balcony was a knight of Royal Guard protecting the Holy King.
The bearded knight approaches the Holy King and kneels down to apologize for his rudeness.
“Your Majesty, the Great, please forgive me for my rudeness!”
“What?”
When he turned his head with only a displeased look on his face, the knight’s face had turned pale.
“An urgent report from our ally! We have received word from the Fraser Territory that two flying battleships belonging to the Fiend Knight have sailed!”
“What did you say?”
At the important news, the Holy King turns his body to the knight.
The knight gives a more detailed report.
“I have heard, though uncertain information, that the Fiend Knight was impudently talking that he was going to invade this Holy Kingdom of Raschel. Your great Majesty, prepare to evacuate immediately.”
The waiting beauties are also upset when they learn that the Fiend Knight are going to attack Raschel.
They are all trembling and pale-faced.
That is how feared Leon’s name was in Raschel.
The Holy King clicks his tongue, but quickly switches his thoughts.
He puts his hands on the balcony railing and smiles at the line of flying battleships he can see before him.
“Where is the need to flee? More than half of the army is here. Besides, it’s the loss for the kingdom of Horfalt to take a short-term action. Send an envoy to the Empire immediately. The Emperor will be moved if he knows that Horfalt has revealed his ambitions.”
When he behaved with dignity, he somewhat eased the anxiety of those around him.
Even the knight is impressed by the Holy King’s behavior.
“S-So, are you going to stay in this castle then?”
“Obviously. No matter how strong the Fiend Knight may be, the Holy Knights are all here. It is not one or two. There are dozens of them.”
The knight bowed deeply.
“I beg your pardon. I will now return to my post.”
“Umu.”
As the knight runs off, the Holy King mutters to those around him.
“—— Let’s get ready to make our escape.”
Surprised, the beautiful women around him blinked repeatedly. Isn’t that different from what you just said? The Holy King did not care about such a look.
(Well, at least they’ll buy me some time while I run away.)
Both the army and the Holy Knights who lay down their lives to fight are mere pawns for the Holy King.
As long as his own life was safe, he was willing to rip off as much as he could from the kingdom of Horfalt after the war.
As the Holy King, stroking his proud white beard, was making plans for the future, one of the beautiful women cupped her mouth with both hands and exclaimed.
“I-I saw something shining up there!”
As everyone’s gaze turned to the sky, they saw something behind the sun.
The Holy King rolled his eyes and felt his own heart beat faster.
When he tried to give the order, he was more upset than he thought he was.
It almost becomes a scream.
“A-All troops, interceeept!”
At the too sudden appearance of the enemy, the Holy King shouted and immediately rushed into the castle.
