Chapter 191 – Because I'm an idiot

After the incident in Ebal, the Therios Army accelerated in retreating.

The act of violence of completely burning down a town and forcefully drafting the residents quickly spread throughout Aegina's territory, making the already detaching hearts of the Aegineans completely detach.

The King's Army was welcomed to in all their destinations, enabling them to avoid useless battles.

And that was not all.

"I want to fight for the King and the Princess." "I want to fight with the Holy Sword Xiphos." "I want to defeat the heinous villain Therios."

People who had various thoughts gathered and the size of the King's Army snowballed.

When they arrived at the Royal Capital Rethim, the King's Army was already fifty thousand-men strong, and on the other side, the Therios Army was a mere three thousand-men.

The outcome of the battle is already clear for anyone to see.

And, with only a single total army attack.

With the return of the legitimate ruler of the Aegina Kingdom, there were many who changed sides from the army of three thousand. Rethim's gates that should have enabled them to keep the castle for more than a year was opened easily and the King's Army swiftly rushed into Rethim.

「Therios!」

「You came, you brat」

In the throne hall of the Summer Palace.

Therios who is sitting on the throne had a different appearance from when Selene last met him.

He is wearing a crown and a cape.

He suited himself with the appearance that is only allowed for the king, sitting on the king's throne.

「Get away from that place! That place is not something you can sit on!」

「Who deserves to sit here then? Don't tell me it's that impostor?」

「Uu!」

Selene groaned.

It's true that if one were to ask if that fake kingーーKakeru deserves that throne, she could only answer no.

Selene admires Kakeru. No, you could even say that she worships him.

On the other side, she was unable to deny the words thrown to her, as she was someone who loves Aegina and wishes to make Aegina greater.

But still, she did not need to hesitate.

「Even so, it is still not you」

Selene silently said.

That's right. It was not him. It was impossible for it to be Melina.

「You don't deserve it even more, as someone who burns a town just for your own safety and desires」

「If so, then who deserves to be the King then? Don't tell me it's you? You selfish bile princess」

「Un. I'll be it」

「Whatーー!」

「I will be itーーthe Prime Minister Princess」

「That's impossible for you」

「If so, then I'll ask everyone to help me」

「What?」
