The NTR Hero Knelt Down to the Demon King - The NTR Hero Knelt Down to the Demon King chapter 142

142 – Stepping stones to become emperor

After giving rough instructions, Amun ascended to heaven with the words that he would take a break and finish the work afterward.

Sometime after that, Achilles came out in person to greet the waiting guests at the city gates.

A group of people appearing in front of you.

Cassandra and Helene are a little bored because they are not used to it.

And, seeing the demon king and his men following him, Achilles began to be seized with heavy tension.

‘Is the author the devil… It’s the first time I’ve actually seen it, but I can definitely feel the unusual power.’

Excluding Amun, who is literally a ‘god’ with untouchable power, the existence that Achilles feels has more power than any other being he has ever seen.

Looking at his face,

Achilles could not help but feel a little wary of beings who, even if they were collaborators rather than enemies at the moment, were in danger of coming face to face with the sword.

‘It’s the first time I’ve actually seen it, but it’s not normal, and I feel like it’s not easy even with the servants who are accompanying me right away… ‘

The beings accompanying him.

Three people wearing armor that look like executives, and those who look like a dark elf and an ordinary elf woman, but somehow feel a subtle intimacy.

What they all have in common is that they are not ordinary talented people… It was the fact that I could feel the strength equal to or slightly weaker than that of Achilles.

A scene that makes it possible to know how much the power of the Demon Kingdom is.

Regarding that, Achilles greeted the superiors in front of him politely.

“Welcome, Cassandra. and… Nice to meet you, my lord. Achilles, a follower of Amun-nim and in charge of the situation of the imperial capital here.”

“Nice to meet you, Achilles.”

“Even though we were once enemies, now we are on the same boat, so we ask for your cooperation in the future.”

“I get it. If you don’t oppose us demons, I’ll do that.”

The demon lord speaks with a voice that is cold but unwavering and clear.

Regarding this, Achilles bowed his head and bowed his head, recognizing the fact that the ruler of a country has his own dignity.

Cassandra’s forces entered the ecliptic without any problems.

Strictly speaking, they could be called rebels, but there was no one to stop them in this place where 40% of the residents evaporated and became communist.

At least there was Achilles who organized the internal situation, but even he decided to hold hands with Cassandra without saying anything right away.

Right after they occupied the Ecliptic, the capital of the Falcon Empire, they began talking in earnest about what they should do in the future.

“First of all, we came in with a statement that we would sort out the chaotic situation caused by the sudden death of His Majesty the Emperor. Then, first of all, shouldn’t the imperial family elect a suitable person as soon as possible and make it emperor?”

“What are you talking about? Are you going to give up the best chance you had?”

“Why don’t General Cassandra take this opportunity to ascend to the throne right away?”

“We are in control of the imperial family. No one will object.”

“This is it, I guess. However, if that happens, there will be no reason to convince the lords of other regions.”

“Right now, spread rumors about the usurpation of the throne during the chaos of war! The empire will be shattered and eaten by the invaders that day!”

“Even if the general later ascends to the throne, now is not the time.”

Opinion to make Cassandra the emperor immediately, as we had previously aimed. Now is not a good time, so those who want to make a decision after building a little more justification.

And in this regard,

Cassandra, who had been silent for a while, spoke to them with a smile on her lips.

“Certainly, such an important matter should be decided more carefully.”

“under… But Cassandra… ”

“Certainly, it is unreasonable in many ways for me to become emperor right now, no matter how much the emperor’s authority has fallen due to his actions so far, legitimacy and justification are always important laws. Especially in a wartime situation like now.”

“under… However, wouldn’t it be uneasy to hand over the emperor’s seat as it is? If he harbors a grudge against the general and does something… ”

“You don’t have to worry about that. I have some good ideas too.”

“yes?”

Cassandra shows a meaningful smile.

Regarding this, doubtful emotions appeared on the faces of those present.

At the same time, Helene, who was by her side, began to show a slightly bitter smile on her lips.

The imperial castle where bloody slaughter took place by the beasts of Amun.

Even among ordinary people, adultery like NTR was quite prevalent, but in the case of the Falcon Empire, especially in the case of the imperial family, there were few survivors as the degree was severe.

However, even in the aftermath of this massacre, there is one person who survived.

The emperor’s youngest son.

As a boy who was only 6 years old, he had no room to be involved in this kind of thing.

Agamemnon, the prince of the Falcon Empire, was trembling in deep fear while imprisoned in the depths of the imperial castle.

The scene is still vivid in his mind.

The figure of his mother lying naked on the bed in front of his eyes as he tried to enter the room, and then being killed along with the attendant.

And right after that, the soldiers who suddenly appeared and imprisoned him and brought him here.

At that time, there was no way to know why the two were doing this or why the soldiers had imprisoned him here, but at least these series of events were enough to instill heavy fear in Agamemnon’s heart.

‘me… how am i doing this? no way… Am I going to die too?…’

Just like that, a boy who is weeping alone in this incomprehensible situation and the deep fear it brings. Agamemnon.

at that time.

– Kiki profit…

He heard the sound of the door suddenly opening.

At this, the little prince slowly raised his head and began to examine the man who had entered the room.

A figure familiar even to young Agamemnon.

He is…

“The prince is here.”

“!… card… . Cassandra!”

Approaching with a bright smile, he is a familiar figure to him,

At the same time, he is a person who has been kind to Agamemnon on behalf of his mother, who has never been interested in him.

Three Knights of the Empire, Cassandra.

At this moment, at the appearance of her who soothed his feelings that had been gripped by fear,

Agamemnon ran without hesitation and fell into her arms.

“Are you okay, Prince? Where did you get hurt… ”

“me… I’m fine Cassandra. under… But my mother.”

“… You did. But don’t worry now, prince, from now on, your convictions are yours… . No, I will stand by His Majesty’s side.”

“lung… under?”

Cassandra speaks incomprehensible.

At this, Agamemnon’s face flashed a questionable emotion for a moment, but Cassandra gently stroked his head and said with a smile.

“Yes, from now on Prince Agamemnon will be His Majesty the Emperor of this country. But don’t worry. From now on, this Cassandra will never leave Your Majesty’s side and will protect you, so Your Majesty just needs to trust me and act.”

“eww… yes… What… I don’t know what it is, but I’ll only trust Cassandra for now.

A little prince who shows deep feelings of will as well as fear while looking at himself… No, the person who will now be called the young emperor.

A deep smile began to form on Cassandra’s lips as she hugged him tightly.

‘You don’t have to worry about anything, Your Majesty… I’ll take care of everything from now on. your life too. and… The seat of the emperor that I had entrusted for a while.

The young emperor Agamemnon, who was crowned as the new emperor as the few remaining survivors of the imperial family.

However, in reality, Cassandra’s puppet… No, to be precise, Achilles just quietly shut himself away in the house, not paying any attention to his coronation, which could be said to be just an ornament.

In fact, Cassandra and her partner, Hestia, who can be said to have seized the real power of the empire further from the ecliptic.

However, despite being able to fully claim his stake in this, Achilles chose to leave behind virtually everything and go into seclusion.

For the past time, his life has been running only for revenge.

However, now that revenge is over.

He was just caught in a feeling of emptiness, aware of the fact that there was nothing left around him.

‘… It’s frustrating… really… ‘

The feeling that everything is empty.

Now that his burning anger and deep joy had gone out, he felt like a warship floating on the open sea, losing his direction in the midst of a terrible sense of helplessness.

at that time…

“General, a guest has arrived.”

“… Guest? I must have ordered that no one enter.”

“That is… I hope the other party makes a strong request. Still, he kept refusing, and at least he asked me to pass on the name Antonius.”

“!… ah… Antonius?”

Achilles was suddenly engulfed in amazement when an unexpected name popped up.

Hearing the name of a close friend who was also a follower of Amun and who was known to have been killed while failing in work related to the Demon Kingdom, Achilles felt as if he was awakened and spoke urgently.

“uh… Please come in.”

“yes? ah… I understand, sir.”

The attendant goes out showing embarrassment at the unexpected reaction of the owner.

But after a while

“… ? who are you.”

In front of Achilles’ eyes is not the elven warrior he expected.

The figure of the elf woman who had been with the demon king before began to appear.

It was a being with a fairly outstanding off-white color and an unknown affinity,

Aside from that, Achilles couldn’t help but feel a little annoyed and suspicious about the man who came to him by mentioning the name of Antonius.

By the way…

“Long time no see, Achilles. It’s me. Antonius, your close friend and a faithful servant of Amun.”

“… .!? What?”
