I’m the Demon King, but There Are Too Many Heroes

062. Healan Cargill and Hilderan

“Your Majesty the King is looking for you.”

It’s finally here.

Late at night, the king’s envoy came to visit Hillen Cargill, who was living in a separate palace in the royal palace.

Hillen changed clothes. I wore a tie on a neat suit. The maids offered a helping hand, but they refused.

“I’ll do it.”

I looked in the mirror and trimmed my hair.

‘It was a little later than I thought.’

Around lunchtime today, I entered the royal capital and had a triumphal ceremony. Upon entering the royal palace, a separate palace was assigned to him, and numerous nobles came to visit him.

But the king, who should have met Hillen first, was quiet.

Hillen decided it was the will to quietly sing solo. And this is how the guest came.

I followed the knight into the royal castle. king’s office. There was no one guarding the door.

“You can go in.”

“Yes.”

The door opened. The fire was not on. The moonlight of the full moon seeped through the window.

“Come here.”

squeak-

Transparent white wine filled an empty glass. The sweet scent spread softly.

“See you, Your Majesty.”

“Sit down.”

“Yes.”

“Have a drink.”

The king held out the cup. Oops, the glass collided.

“It’s Antoine Pornin.”

“It’s from 1311. Yes, you are very well versed in alcohol.”

The king chuckled and laughed. I leaned back and looked up at the full moon outside the window.

“I didn’t know that you would come back to Hilderan so docilely. Even with a surprise gift called Elena.”

“I hope you like it.”

“I liked it. I should have heard it even if I didn’t hear it. Aren’t you the great warrior who saved the kidnapped princess?”

The horse had bones.

“I apologize for the past. As you know, I made a mistake by cherishing Ernyl too much.”

“I already forgot.”

“Good.”

clink-

One more drink came and went.

“I will only ask you one thing.”

“Yes.”

“Did you really not find the tower?”

The king turned his head. His eyes were calm. However, the anger inherent in it boiled over like an active volcano.

“Not found.”

“I will ask you again.”

“Not found.”

“again.”

“Not found.”

The glass in the king’s hand was broken. Transparent white wine ran down his hands.

The papers on the desk were wet. Broken fragments fell on the carpet.

“again.”

The king growled.

Hillen shook his head.

“I can’t say that I found what I didn’t find.”

ha ha ha ha ha ha.

The king laughed. The mana wave shook the office.

Hillen stood by him without blinking an eye.

“I know.”

The laughter ceased.

“Dafner came to you?”

“Yes.”

“What did you ask and what did you answer?”

“When I asked about heroism, he told me exactly what he experienced in Erzest.”

“He said he couldn’t find Daphner either. That means no one can find it right now.”

The king wiped the wine off his hands. took out a new cup.

“But I don’t think you’ll ever find it.”

“Is that so?”

“After the demon lord of lust, what is there that a great warrior who cuts off the neck of an animal cannot do it?”

“Thank you for your high regard.”

“so.”

someday.

“One day, I will definitely save Ernya.”

“I will do my best.”

“Yeah, that’s it. No one in Hilderan will be against you.”

The king applauded. The knight who had brought Hillen opened the door slightly.

“Call the maid and clear this place.”

“Yes.”

The article disappeared.

“I saw the ugliness. Think of it as the heart of a father who cares for his daughter.”

“Yes, I understand.”

“Ah, and I heard that the support was cut off after killing the demon king of lust…”

“Fortunately, we have a new sponsor.”

“Then I should put a fork on it.”

“Can you refuse?”

“No.”

“If it is, I will gladly accept it.”

“Let’s go. I want to get some alone.”

The congratulatory order fell.

“It’s changed.”

Did I mention that they even hit the neck of the demon king of beasts?

Indeed, the atmosphere has changed. And I look forward to the future even more than now.

“It is not that there have been no warriors who have hunted two or more demon kings since the advent of the demon king.”

And all those warriors left their names in history.

“I heard that a long time ago, there was a custom of marrying the hero who saved the royal family and the person who was kidnapped…”

It was a custom that was abolished as the number of warriors exploded and there was no need for it.

But now it’s not bad.

drink was sweet

* * *

“Your Highness Viscount Braaltar enters!”

“Sir Baron Pennsylvan and the Baroness Enter!”

nobles enter.

The ceiling lights illuminate the venue.

The band skillfully plays sweet music.

People’s laughter and murmuring melt naturally.

Sweet drinks and food delight the nose and mouth.

between them.

“The great hero who subjugated the demon king of lust and the demon king of beasts, the hero Hillen Cargill, and the commander of the Red Hawk raid, the elf Granada, are entering!”

The protagonist appeared.

The noisy banquet hall became quiet. All eyes were focused on one place.

To the warriors and elves in neat suits and ties.

Hillen Cargill naturally brushed her brown hair. “Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh oh oh ah ah ah”

“what are you doing?”

“It’s not just the nobles who matter at the banquet.”

“It was just a trick.”

“You, too, will get along well with the ladies. No one hates a handsome elf.”

“That’s the specification.”

“And from now on, please be careful what you say to each other. I am officially the leader of the raid.”

Hillen received the cocktail from the servant. The moment I ate the cherry on the glass, the silence disappeared. The interest of the nobility began.

“Healan warrior.”

“My name is Baron Merton. Do you remember me?”

“Healen Hero, talk with us…”

Granada was disgusted with the sudden crowd and withdrew. Fortunately, most of the attention turned to Hillen, not him.

Grab a cocktail and find a seat.

“Why are you drinking alone here?”

A woman sat next to him.

“Are you famous Granada? I’m Joey Bourin from the Bouin Viscount.”

“This is Granada.”

“I know. Would you like a toast?”

“Yes.”

“You do it with me.”

Suddenly a hand came out. The blonde woman smiled softly.

“who?”

“I am Guya Deia from Count Deia. My father is the famous Count Deia.”

“So?”

“I just want to talk to you.”

“Are you talking to me?”

“Who is here if not you?”

Granada, who raised her head belatedly, realized.

The banquet hall is no longer visible. The whole place was filled with the girls and ladies of noble families.

‘Just getting out…’

it’s already gone

Granada let out a small sigh.

“Healan Cargill.”

Nobility also has dignity. according to the title.

And the job is also classy. Depending on your background and power.

The Duke of Heinz was at the top of that rank.

Born of the noble lineage of Hilderan, he was recognized as a duke for his excellent abilities. Countless nobles gathered under his shadow and wished to gather.

The footsteps of the Duke of Heinz split the crowd surrounding Hillen Cargill.

He was a person of noble dignity.

Born to be a ruler and looked down on everything.

“It’s been a long time.”

“See you, Duke.”

“On behalf of the royal family, thank you for saving Elena.”

“I just did what I had to do, of course.”

“Of course, what should be done . . . Yes, yes.”

he laughed

“Do you know how glorious this place is now?”

The Duke of Heinz cried loudly. Everyone’s attention was focused.

“Healan Cargill was born in Hilderan and has been a hero of Hilderan for a long time.

“It’s overrated.”

“Gwa-chan, it hasn’t even started yet. So some of you take Hillen Cargill lightly. Because I’m used to it, it doesn’t look that great from the outside. But you know, Hillen is one of those stars.”

The Duke raised Hillen’s arm. The nobles applauded.

“Even though I failed, I dedicated myself to saving the Crown Princess of the kingdom and saved 13 princesses. What a faithful man!”

“you’re right!”

“Hurray, Hero Hillen Cargill!”

“What are you doing?”

The Duke ignored Hillen’s whisper.

“Where is that?”

“Because the demon king of lust was beheaded and even the demon king of the beasts knelt before his sword and magic.

“All the heroes who defeated the two demon lords left their names in history!”

The cheers grew louder.

“I am so proud that Hillen Cargill and I have been friends for a long time. I’ve been able to help him from a long time ago, so I’m glad he sees the light like this.”

“You are mean.”

There was a slight crack on Hillen’s expression. The feeble anger was buried in the shouts of the people.

“Have you met your brother?”

Duke Heinz was the only one who heard it and smiled brightly.

“Yes.”

“You have a deeper relationship with me, but your Majesty is too kind. I have no intention of letting you go.”

“You look pretty tough.”

“When you are not caught, it is a rope, but after you are caught, it is safe to say that it is a shackle. I am greedy.”

“I do not know. After some more greedy people and tougher shackles, it seems a bit loose.”

“You sound funny.”

he smiled faintly.

At that moment, a knight rushed in. He covered his face and whispered a little.

“···What? gold···.”

The duke, who glanced at Hillen, swallowed the horse.

“I’m sorry, but today’s meeting seems to have to end here.”

“I’m sorry. I thought I could have a good conversation with the Duke.”

“That’s it. Next time I’ll set up a separate seat for you.”

“Take a look.”

Hillen bowed his head. The peacock disappeared at a quick pace. The knights followed.

“What’s going on?”

“what?”

The nobles were taken aback by his sudden action, but it was quickly forgotten.

Because Hillen Cargill, a great warrior with a bright future, was right in front of him.

“Hero, it’s been a while!”

“It is an honor to see you again, Baron Ysir.”

“Humham, Hillen Cargill, haven’t you forgotten me?”

“Of course, Marquis Mohir. I am always grateful to you.”

Hillen was again enveloped in the crowd.

The atmosphere of the banquet was ripe.

* * *

The maid in charge of the Hyacinth Palace carefully knocked on the door.

“Princess, can I come in?”

There was no answer. However, Elena spent more time sleeping than awake.

opened the door A cold wind brushed her face.

‘Have you left the door open?’

The princess shouldn’t be blown away by the cold wind.

She stopped as she tried to close the window urgently.

Elena was lying on the bed. And a shadow was looking down at her.

“Who, who….”

“The Four Heavenly Kings who serve the Demon King, a dark spirit magician.”

The awkwardly altered voice was bizarre.

“I will abduct the 13 princesses of Hilderan by obeying the orders of the great Demon Lord.”

The kidnapper’s eyes flashed in the darkness.

The maid took a breath.

“Hey, it’s a demon!”

All I could do was squeeze everything and scream.

Fortunately, her voice reached the knights.

The sound of footsteps running quickly was heard.

“Aww!”

“It’s a demon!”

“Stop it!”

And disappeared again with a scream. I felt the hot heat.

“Oh.”

The dark elementalist covered his mouth.

“Are all the knights to help you disappear?”

She carefully hugged the 13th princess who was sleeping.

“Oh, I can’t take the princess…”

“It’s amazing loyalty. I am satisfied with everything.”

something flew widely. A small shock, the maid’s vision blurred.

“When you wake up with a sigh, it will all be over.”

she fell

Ernya went out through the window.

“sister.”

Elena, who was pretending to be asleep, opened her eyes carefully.

“yes.”

“Isn’t that a play that’s been over ten years since you saw it?”

“…ah, isn’t it?”

“No. I have a good memory.”

Ernian’s face turned red.

“If your sister is a dark spirit magician, will there be others?”

“…there is no death corps commander and no giants of hell.”

“Then what about the Dark Knight?”

“…there are candidates.”

maybe.

she whispered softly.

“…even if you’re crazy, you’re not just crazy.”

Berge, who was following me, laughed out loud.

Behind them was a bonfire that burned the Hyacinth Palace.

The magic alarm bell to announce the invasion of the enemy rang through the entire palace.
