Demon Emperor Yuki laughed mockingly and continued his words.
“Oh, I’ll tell you one more thing, all the soldiers and senators who were cooperating with you have already been cracked apart by the activities of Renugil, the Demon King’s right-hand man, and this country’s intelligence organization. Your faction is now finished. All that’s left for you to do now is to stay in prison and watch this country start to run smoothly without you.” (Yuki)
Cyrus’s face turned red, but Helger put the shackles on him again and forced him to stand.
“So that’s the end of your magic tricks. Let’s go, Senate President.” (Helger)
“Do you understand that if you capture me here, we will not be able to get rid of the other races that walk the streets and take back the government of the country into our own hands?” (Cyrus)
“You do not seem to understand our position, but we are [Imperial Guards]. We only protect His Majesty and obey his orders. Well, regardless of our position, we have no desire to obey you at all.” (Helger)
This country had been caught up in the flow, and whether it wanted to or not, it had no choice but to plunge into it.
Several monsters appeared, and the attack was more massive than ever, but the Imperial Guards, who had been on the alert, succeeded in minimizing the damage.
However, after the attack, the Senate President disappeared and was later presumed to have been involved in the attack.
Even though the enemy was powerful, the Imperial Guards were initially criticized for failing to protect the most important person in the Senate, the Senate President, who was supposed to be protected the most… However, later investigations revealed the possibility that Senate President Cyrus himself was involved in the terrorist act.
Furthermore, some evidence emerged that the Senate President was also following someone else’s instructions, and a rumor started to circulate, although it was not publicized at all.
The Senate President might also have been forced to cooperate with some less reputable people whose names should not be mentioned.
The upheaval and turmoil in the government was so great that it only somehow calmed down when Demon King Finar intervened in the administration with his strong authority.
That included the terrorist attack that was caused by a person who was not revealed until the very end.
At Rogard Empire Palace, Reid, who had been keeping the imperial family at bay by holding talks to prevent them from making any unnecessary moves, reacted with a jerk when he saw a soldier suddenly rush into the room.
–The operation was underway.
A soldier suddenly opened the door of the room and addressed the people inside, “Ladies and gentlemen, please excuse us while you are having a pleasant talk! Due to an emergency, we would like you to cancel the meeting and evacuate…!”
A man from the Rogard Imperial Family, who had been chatting with Reid, asked, “Emergency? What’s going on?”
The soldier replied with a tense expression on his face, “It appears that a third terrorist act has been committed in the Senate Building! The Imperial Guards are currently dealing with the situation.”
“What? The third time? …That’s not the same as what I was told.” (Imperial Family Member)
“What’s wrong?” (Reid)
“Nothing, don’t worry about it. –Yes, Reid-dono, would you like to evacuate with us?” (Imperial Family Member)
“…No, I’m a little concerned about the situation. Imperial Guards have perhaps already taken control of the situation, right? Can someone show me the way there?” (Reid)
“Is, is it alright for you to go?” (Soldier)
“Well, you are a diligent man. Reid-dono is a very generous man, and is now our friend. Alright, someone escort him there.” (Imperial Family Member)
One of the guards replied hastily, “…ah! We will!”
“…Thank you very much. I’ll see you again soon.” (Reid)
