Gaiden Episode 1

The fantasy island, Zereira.

Although it is small in area, it is the center of the world where powers more powerful than any other huge country gather.

There, demons coexist with humans like cows and horses, and mermaids swim along the river. Also, there is a magic port where the world’s first and only undersea tunnel is in operation.

Among them, the most famous is none other than the prince Lazier Lou Zereira Rodwill, who is blessed with the blessings of the Elyos and the Demons.

For this reason, Zereira was also called the dream country of all wizards and the holy land of priests.

“so?”

“Yes?”

Razier, who glanced at the documents stamped with the Kanas Empire’s imperial seal, raised his head in a grim reply. A bright blue light reminiscent of a sapphire, which is called a jewel from the sky, was contained in his eyes.

The foreign envoy, who was standing opposite and waiting for an answer, panicked and laid his gaze on the floor.

“I am Prince Zereira.”

An indifferent voice continued.

“Explain what this has to do with the World Peace Festival hosted by the Kanas Empire.”

“I, that… … .”

“Is there any reason you have to go there?”

The Kanas Empire Reaper swallowed dry saliva. Apparently, Prince Razier was feeling very uncomfortable today.

“No, of course, it’s not compulsory. The first event is coming with 12 countries from around the world participating. If His Majesty Prince Lazier attends, it will surely be a meaningful event, and His Majesty Julius expects a lot.”

“I’m not going.”

Razier cut off the messenger’s invitation and refused it before it continued again and again. Surprised by the answer that came without deep thought, the reaper opened his mouth slightly.

It is a world peace festival.

It was a high-level meeting with the intention of pursuing peace without war in the future, and it was the largest event recorded in history.

The Emperor of the Kanas Empire personally wrote an invitation letter and sent it to the messenger. Prince Razier simply rejected it with a single word.

smile.

Lazier, who had a bright smile, stood up from his seat.

“character. So, is the business over?”

“Yes? yes… … .”

“Please rest in peace and return home.”

The reaper from Kanas was kicked out with a blank face. A fox with pink hair walked softly, watching the pitiful back of the servant disappearing without knowing that he was being kicked out.

– Didn’t you cut it too quickly?

“Otherwise, you will continue to annoy me.”

Razier sighed as he loosened the tie he had been fastening in order to be courteous as he encountered the envoys of other countries.

“If it’s an event like that, the king will attend. What do I do when I go to a place full of royal families from all over the world?”

– You’re royalty too.

“Ugh. A royal family that will soon disappear like morning dew.”

Razier’s plan to leave Princess Charerine on the throne was still there. The three-year-old princess is so young and fragile that the plan is only going to last longer than expected.

ready to leave at any time Sedna stared at Razier, who was thinking about that, and smiled bashfully.

– Yeah. The morning dew fell again every day.

“… … ? What are you talking about?”

– Hi-Hi. just! I’ll be by your side wherever you go

Anyway, Sedna didn’t care what he looked like. He was good as a human prince, and he was good as a demon king. If Ragier suddenly becomes fickle one day and leaves this life, Sedna can follow.

‘Because Razier is Razier.’

With each step Sedna took, the blue bell hanging from her neck jingled.

Razier glanced down at the pink eyes filled with trust and strode towards the window. As I opened the window, a warm summer breeze blew in.

From Lazier’s room, I could see a garden full of roses and a fountain where Merman swam.

“do whatever you want.”

Razier smiled and held Rey, who was following the gun under his feet. Sedna pricked her ears when she saw the familiar sight of the little red dog on her lap.

– Lazier! Hug me too!

“What? No wait.”

Without a moment to dry it, a large fox rushed at me.

“Majesty!”

“Ugh.”

The knight Hwion, who stood one step behind him and watched, hurriedly grabbed him, so it was a shame that Razier could not bear the weight and almost fell behind.

“Are you okay?”

“Huh. I survived thanks to you.”

Razier, who expressed his gratitude to Hwion, rubbed his tingling wrist as the weight suddenly shifted. While holding onto the window sill, it looked like it was crooked, and it was completely swollen.

Of course, now he is using a human body, but his body was a demon king, so even if he fell out of the window, he would not die.

But the pain he felt when he got hurt was real, so Razier was outspoken.

“Wow. I was surprised. Sedna, did you intend to assassinate me like this?”

– Mi, sorry.

The pink fox, most startled when she ran up to her, closed her ears and burst into tears with her big eyes.

– I’m really sorry… … .

‘What else has the grass died like that?’

Lazier, who wanted to play a little more, quit with a steaming face. If I had been more strict here, it was clear that this soft-hearted foxy girl would voluntarily run away to heaven, saying that she would be punished.

“I’m kidding. You won’t die if you fall here anyway.”

– But I was greedy and Razier almost got hurt!

“Because it’s okay.”

– I’m a really bad fox. Whoa!

He seemed to be hearing the words ‘okay’ with the back of his ear. Sedna buried her face in her front paws and began to cry uncontrollably. For some reason, the perpetrator cries sadly and the victim comforts him. Razier sighed, leaning on the window sill and trying to stand up, and frowned slightly.

‘Oh, this is pretty painful. You’re right.’

Just touching it gave me a tingling pain. The red and swollen wrists looked unwell.

Deciding that there was no need to make the already depressed child cry for nothing, Razier naturally covered the injured area and asked Sedna a question.

“But why did you run away all of a sudden?”

– That, smirk. That, uh, that.

Sedna, who was somehow embarrassed, hesitated as she still buried her face in her front paws. Then, with a determined expression on his face, he shook his head.

– I’m envious of Rey, who is sleeping on his lap pillow!

It was an answer that Razier did not expect. He asked again with a bitter expression.

“… Are you envious of that?”

– I’m so envious! Jealous!

The innocent sky fox was always honest in her expression. Razier, who was in an absurd mood, spit out meaningless replies such as ‘Ah, is that so’.

I was envious of the lap pillow, but there was nothing I could do about it.

‘Is it a racial characteristic of the Elyos?’

There was no demon in the demon world who was envious of such useless things. Demons with wild and destructive instincts are always envious of being recognized by strong people.

Come to think of it, even the cunning Aiana always enjoyed putting her chin on her lap or stroking her hair by the side of the former Emperor. Then, the Elyos might not have known that they were attached to the concept of a reward for the skinship that the strong gave.

Sedna looked up at him cautiously while Razier was seriously contemplating his racial characteristics.

– Hey, are you really okay?

“What is it?”

Before Lazier could answer anything, a smirking voice intervened.

– Tay!

At some point, the servant, Tei, appeared and stood in front of the door smiling. Razier, who followed Sedna and looked at her, spoke calmly.

“Did the Reaper Kanas treat you well?”

“Yeah. I even put sleep magic on you to get a good rest.”

It was totally rude, but no one pointed it out.

Tei, who had left the envoy from a foreign country in his dormitory while forcibly walking to magic, put the tray of snacks he had brought down on the table.

It was summer, so instead of hot tea, iced tea with ice and fresh chocolate from the cold and hot storage were neatly arranged.

– Wow. Today’s snack must be chocolate.

“Want to eat?”

– Huh!

Lazier gladly concedes his share to the pink fox, who has a special preference for sweet food.

However, the servant took out a glass bottle and a medicine box with bandages from the shelf with the snacks on the table, and hurriedly approached the owner.

“Before that, you need to get treatment.”

Razier sighed and clicked his tongue.

Also, the quick-witted servant couldn’t just ignore this. Razier, who had already been caught, did not pretend to be ignorant any more and simply nodded.

Surprised, Sedna stared at Razier.

– Lazier, were you hurt earlier?

Razier, who turned his head away from the pink eyes that had become somber again, raised the wrist that was covering it and murmured.

“No what. Well. I must have been a little crooked.”

It was quite embarrassing to be treated like a patient for just bumping my arm against the window sill.

When he showed his wrist, Tay applied a potion to the wound without nagging and wrapped it in a bandage with a cloth.

Even after hurting him, Sedna didn’t really recognize him, so he was restless and just turned around.

– Whoa, does it hurt a lot? what to do Healing Holy Power doesn’t work for Razier.

“It’s nothing.”

– That’s it!

Razier lightly stroked the pink fox’s hair.

“If you are really sick, return to your body and you will recover. There’s nothing I can do to that extent, so I’ll just keep quiet. I have nothing to worry about.”

The tone seemed to be thrown out, but Sedna, noticing the consideration contained within, wiped away the tears with her front paws. Then he gently brought his nose to the bandaged wrist of Ragier. Even though I understood in my head that it was a minor injury from the point of view of the Demon King, when I smelled the medicine, tears started flowing again.

– Hey. I had no idea. How did you know Razier was hurt?

“Tay knows anything about your master.”

The purple haired servant responded with a smirk. But even as he smiled, his amber eyes, which had narrowed pupils, were eeriely submerged.

“I didn’t know that the fox I picked up would cause an accident while looking away for a moment.”

‘I’m mad.’

Sedna now knows that that ferocious demon dragon is now wearing a mask like a gentle sheep just because he is in front of his master.

Lazier opened his mouth instead of Sedna, who slightly folded her ears because she had committed a crime.

“Tae. Don’t be cocky and intimidating.”

“I’m sorry.”

As soon as the servant was restrained, he shook his head. The hostility I had seen for a moment disappeared like snow. Again, with a respectful look, he removed the empty bottle that had been used for treatment.

Sedna crept over to Tay, who was organizing her medicine cabinet. The glass bottles, which are set up to capacity so that they can be taken out and used again at any time by color, clearly showed the obsessive nature of the servant.

– You really listen to anything Ragier says.

“Yeah. It’s a servant.”

– Aren’t you sad?

A little while ago, it was clearly Sedna’s fault.

Even if it was not intentional, the hostility toward those who hurt the master is a natural response as a subordinate.

However, Tay was immediately moved by Rajer’s command. It was an impossible loyalty if not for a certain amount of blindness.

He noticed that Sedna wanted to apologize separately, but Tay felt nothing.

“Ugh.”

Tay, who placed the medicine box neatly on the road shelf, let out a small snort.

“Sedna-sama, are you upset with your master?”
