"Is there a Demon King? There's a Demon King!"

Sam was the most surprised by Ur's words.

It had been several years since he was reborn in another world, but he had never heard of a demon king.

No, neither have the heroes. The other day, Hayama Yuto called himself a hero, but technically speaking, he is not a hero.

He was only considered a brave man in the Kingdom of Orkney.

To Sam, the other world was a fantasy full of magic, but unfortunately he had never met a demon king, a hero, or even a race of non-human beings such as elves or dwarves.

The only exception was dragons. I have met dragons more times than I can count, and even fought against a dragon king. 

Perhaps because of this, I was surprised and a little excited by the existence of the Demon King, even if it was inappropriate to say so.

Ur gave Sam a curious look.

"What are you talking about? There are many demon kings.

"How many are there?

I don't know how many times I have been surprised just today.

Ur's resurrection and the existence of the Demon King are indeed beyond my tolerance.

"Oh, yes, that's right. Sam doesn't know anything about the west side of the continent, does he? I didn't take him with me, but I thought it was too early to tell. Well, that's okay. We'll talk later."

"Uh, yes."

(Yeah, one thing's for sure, I can't call myself the best on the continent just yet.)

"Well, Your Majesty. Let me get back to the story."

Ulle then began talking to Clyde again.

"I have always believed that the purpose of the people of Najaria was immortality. In fact, when I was converted, I understood that they were trying to prolong my life span by transforming me from a human to another species, even if immortality was difficult. Well, I have smashed to pieces the altars that seem to be necessary for the conversion.

"In our country, too, we know that people obsessed with the foolish desire for immortality are cooperating with the people of Najaria. It does some harm, but we let them swim until the moment of need."

"Sounds like it. But if longevity is the goal, there's no need to mess with the Skye Kingdom. There are those who claim to have lived in the area in the first place, but the people of Najaria and their secret agents are using that as a cover to move quietly toward their original goal. That is the resurrection of the Demon King."

Sam asks, fearfully, because he has a question.

"You know, why do you want the Kingdom of Skye? Immortality is one thing, but the Demon King has nothing to do with it."

"Sam, it is not irrelevant. In the royal palace of the Kingdom of Skye lies the corpse of the Demon Lord.

"Huh!"

It was Clyde who answered Sam's question.

"What do you mean, King? Is there a Demon King in this country, or rather, in the royal palace?

It was a startling revelation.

I had never dreamed that the Demon King, even though he was a corpse, was so close to me.

"Sam, I'm sorry for not telling you. I'm sorry for not telling you. The only people who know about this are the kings of the past and, with one exception, the Dukes of Ignaz."

"And Günther?"

"Sorry, Sam."

Günther looked troubled.

He has a big crush on Sam and Ur, but he seems to keep his private and public life separate and has been keeping the secret of the kingdom a secret until now.

"Günther is in charge of putting up the wards around the tomb of the Demon King," he says.

"Indeed, Günther's warding technique is very robust. Why only the Dukes of Ignaz? If we had more collaborators, wouldn't we have fallen behind the people of Najaria?"

Clyde shook his head at Sam's question.

"I can't do that. I have asked other clans for help in the past. However, there were a few, if not all, who were attracted to the Demon Lord, or who were in league with those who were trying to revive him at the time. In the end, we came to the conclusion that it is best to keep secrets hidden."

"Well, it can't be helped. Nobles are like that.

"In fact, now, even if they do not know about the existence of the Demon King, there are nobles who desire the immortality that the people of Najaria have proclaimed, and who betray their country.

"But, Your Majesty. But, Your Majesty, if you have come this far, you will tell us everything, won't you?

Url looks straight at Clyde.

The king nodded.

"You are all parties now. I will tell you everything. Follow me. I will show you to the tomb of the Demon King.
