Chapter 28.2 – Let’s Kill Rize-kun!

「Now, let’s continue….I, for my part, am willing to grant Baron Rize’s wish. He should be rewarded for his accomplishment. If he wants food, I’ll give him as much as he wants. However, I, the king, am a busy man. I’m too busy to visit his territory so---48th prince, Johan.」

「Y-yeaaahhhhh!」

A little boy stood up in a hurry after hearing the king’s words.

He is Prince Johan, the 48th heir of King Yaldabaoth. He had long hair and deep purple eyes but he was trembling in nervousness in front of the old king or rather, he was even on the verge of tears.

「Johan, you should go to Beibalon in my stead.」

「Eh!? Wait, Beibalon is just a cesspool full of crazy people! To be honest, I’m a city girl so I don’t want to go to a place like that.」

「Oh, I wonder what’s the first article in the law of this land. I’m getting too old to remember.」

「Hiii! Yes, I’ll go! Please let me go!」

King Yaldabaoth nodded in satisfaction while Johan answered in tears.

「Good, I’ve called you here for that after all. Anyway, you’re my youngest child so there shouldn’t be any problem even if you die.」

「Eh!? That’s terrible!?」

「----so, this meeting is adjourned! Okay, you guys scram, go and leave already!」

The king ordered the end of the meeting and had the heavyweights and the sacrificial prince leave immediately.

When the soldiers assigned to escort them were gone, King Yaldabaoth was left alone at the round table.

The moment no one was there aside from him---his cheeks twisted into a lewd smile and he burst into laughter!

「Guhahahahahahahahahah!! How dare you summon the king, Rize Beibalon! What a lovely man you are!」

King Yaldabaoth claps his hands on the opulent round table as if it was funny and interesting. He looks more like a child who found a new toy rather than an absolute old king.

Yes---he had been seeing a new toy for a long time.

The appearance of the ideal “hero” who would rebel against him and this country!

「Gihihihihihihi……! I told my subjects that he must be asking for support but how can that be? Only a rebel who’s prepared to fight against the country or a braindead idiot could be this insane! Ah, he’s definitely the former! This man Rize, he is picking a fight with me!!!!」

Yaldabaoth continues to laugh with glee at the appearance of someone that threatens him.

That’s obvious. Or rather, that’s his aspiration. He hoped that such a being would appear so Yaldabaoth prepared various things.

「Rize….I’ve been waiting for a man like you to appear in my life…..! One hundred and thirty years have passed since I was born. I have been a great promoter of the Sofia religion where I have inculcated the teaching that “Magic is a power given by god. It can be used to discipline commoners but it is outrageous to use it for their sake.”--- this belief will become firmly rooted and continue to cause hatred to build up in the hearts of commoners. We invaded the lands of the beastkins, kidnapped and enslaved them, and continued to create sparks of rebellion in various parts of the country. And then---they will all go to Beibalon, a place where all rebels will flee to….!」

Now the fruits of his labor are finally blooming---!

Yaldabaoth thinks of something while drooling.

The moment when he and Rize will clash and kill each other with all their might….!

「Ah, Rize! My dear rebel whom I have sought for so long! Please quench my thirst---let me, who has too much power and talent, taste a battle where I need to fight with all my might! That’s why I gave you Johan who has trashy personality! Please start the war by killing that guy with your hatred for the royal familyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!」

King Yaldabaoth continues to laugh dreaming of the moment when he and the murderous hero will kill each other to the bitter end.

Thus---blinded by the anticipation of his dream coming true, King Yaldabaoth is completely oblivious.

That the man Rize Beibalon only invited the king because, “Beibalon has transformed into a great place! Long live the king!” and has zero intention to kill….!

「The man of my dreams has finally appeared! O rebel with a passionate heart and noble aspirations! I’m going to go all out! I don’t care if you’ll be able to end it----my 130 years of life that I had prolonged to the limit!」

Thus, the king who has lived for….130 hard years is about to use his last remaining life force against a braindead idiot…..!
