Chapter 285: Kingdom of Ingracia

"Oh? People what? "

"The Great Demon Lord, Rimuru. ”

"I saw . ”

“... Hmm. Indeed . Lord Rimuru did come to see the Ingracia Kingdom once. ”

"Yes . There was a time when I had so much work to do. ”

Diablo usually stuck very close to Rimuru, but when the great war ended, all the leaders flocked to him.

Anger towards Rimuru for his deception has been directed at Diablo and not Rimuru.

Even Diablo could not resist many grievances from the leaders, so he had no choice but to run and deal with the consequences.

"Yes . That was during that time. I was held responsible for what happened, but Hero Masayuki came out with me, and I was saved. That's when I was so lucky to meet him. One time I saw it with my own eyes … "

He chuckled as if those memories were comforting him.

“I will never again think of fighting it. "She said as she looked at Diablo right in her eyes.

After that, Elrick told what their previous conversation was.

What Elrick said was this–

The Kingdom of Ingracia had been built on a plain where there were fewer monsters, as it was located far away from the Great Jura Forest. These favorable conditions allowed it to become a political and cultural center, where leaders from all other countries met.

And yet.

Now that the Great Demon King Rimuru had launched a plan of coexistence and mutual prosperity, the level of danger in the Great Jura Forest had decreased dramatically.

Not only that, the country of Tempest has now improved the means of transportation through the railway network, and has grown to the point where it can be considered as the center of the world today.

In fact, the main headquarters of the Freedom Arbitration Committee are in Tempest.

A country could no longer stand out by being safe alone, and its political, cultural, and financial center had all moved away from the Kingdom of Ingracia.

So, it was important for this country to have something to call hers.

“It was something I heard 10 years ago, and years later, it came true. Those who are able to revolutionize their way of thinking have managed to deal with it, but there are still people who believe that they are the center of the world. It was the force that separated the former nobles. ”

Those who once sat in the midst of so much grandeur would find it hard to take off their seats. He suggested that a civil war may have erupted if the Committee did not monitor them.

"Julius is like a temple to the power of conservative nobility. He accepted their complaints and used them to his own advantage. Furthermore, it contains revolutionaries who seek to use force to bring about democracy. He adjusted things so that changes came slowly. Even as his older brother, I was amazed at his work. Even his arrogant behavior might be taken into account. A king is not allowed to bow his own head. Those who wish to restore the royal family will never allow it. ”

Erick said, ending the story.

Diablo nodded and pondered this.

This meant that this Prince Julius was acting like a noble while understanding everything.

That's why he can't be stopped, even if he's a student now.

“Then, is the money from the royal family that he can freely use really enough to sustain that lifestyle? Are you sure he didn't receive money support from somewhere? "

Ask Diablo.

Elrick said flat.

Diablo nodded in satisfaction after hearing this.

“It's useful to know. Thank you for all the information you have provided. ”

"All right then . We have to go … "

Diablo and Souei said words of gratitude and got up from their seats.

"–Um .. Does my brother ... Does my brother do anything?"

Elrick asked in a voice that seemed somewhat depressed.

Diablo smiled and replied as if to rest his worries.

"No, not at all . You don't have to worry. Besides – and this is just an example, if a student really does something, then parents, teachers, and country should be in charge. That's what Lord Rimuru will say. ”

"But…"

“Classies such as nobles and commoners have no meaning there. No, they are not allowed to have meaning. What your brother did was wrong, but it was the teachers who allowed it, and school was to blame. And as long as the school is under the sponsorship of Lord Rimuru, then we should consider all the students to be under his protection. Your sister's actions require punishment, but Julius' students won't be punished for any crime. I can assure you of that. ”

"I understand .. that's good. Unlike me, he did not think of Lord Rimuru in a good way .. He idolized Hero Masayuki … "

So Elrick explained that he was worried that his brother would do something rude to Lord Rimuru, who owed him a lot. After which, he saw Diablo and Souei leave. Lowering his head for the last time, he said, 'please help my brother. '

◇◇◇

After leaving the house where Elrick is being held, Diablo and Souei head for the airport.

This meeting was the last part of their information gathering, so they had no intention of staying any longer.

And since they did not want to attract attention, they decided to travel through the sky instead of the magic circle

As said before, Space Transfer had no questions asked.

The two wasted no time on the way to the airport, as they exchanged opinions on what they had heard.

“As I thought, someone must have made contact with him. However, it was most likely that Julius was not their partner. ”

“Sounds like that's the problem. Julius was seen as a sacred place for the nobles. He should avoid any monetary help so that he does not appear weak. ”

“She definitely has a stronger spine than I thought. Attractively. Very interesting . ”

"-Yes . ”

Souei agreed with the conclusion that Diablo had come.

In fact, the investigation the previous day had allowed him to understand the situation regarding the wealth of all nobles.

This includes money that is not written in the books, and he will know if there is an abnormal circulation of money.

It's clear that Elrick is telling the truth.

There was no one in this world who could help Julius with money while keeping all traces of it out of their eyes.
