I also want to know about it. After handing down the throne to me, at first I was only frantically working so I wouldn’t be handed over to the Empire, then I was frantically working to save this country from its predicament. Because I was so busy, I didn’t have time to think about it: why Liecia’s father easily handed over the throne to someone who had just been summoned like me? Although it seems that in this country, a Hero is 『A Person who Leads the Change of an Era』, but would he really put trust on my worthiness to such extent?
『I already sent numerous letters to King Albert. However I haven’t received any reply even up until now.』(Castor)
「In that case, I am also bothered by it if it as you say so.」(Souma)
『Weren’t you the one who had seized the letters?』(Castor)
「I had never done such deeds.」(Souma)
『Hah? Then why?』(Castor)
Really…… I didn’t know anything about this. Since I had been pushed with all kinds of works and responsibility, I also didn’t have any reason to do so. Rather, what is the former King doing by not replying to the letter?
(Liecia, do you know something about this?) (Souma)
(That is…… Although this is something unrelated, when I was asked him to cooperate in persuading Duke Carmine, he only said that 『Distrustful people will appear if I move. After all, Souma is already the King.』……) (Liecia)
(What he was so obstinate for?......) (Souma)
I didn’t know what a person thinks about someone else.
Well, rather than the former King that wasn’t here, it was about Castor who was in front of me.
「Then, what should I do to make you accept me as the King?」(Souma)
『Let’s see…..a Dragon is a creature that only let someone who it recognizes to ride on their back. If you want me to abide to you then you, must show the appropriate power to do so.』(Castor)
Castor made a fiery statement. What was with that muscle head type reasoning……?
「Do you understand that by doing so, then it would be considered as a traitorous act to the country? Regardless whether you abide or not to me, after the war, you will be judged by the Law.」(Souma)
『My air force wouldn’t be defeated by something like your Royal Army! If you can do it, then prove it!』(Castor)
I looked in Duchess Excel’s direction and she appeared to be greatly troubled. Then this is already…… in vain, huh?
「If you abide to my rule, then I will grant food aid and highway construction to the Valgas Duchy. I will also guarantee the safety and autonomy of your citizens.」(Souma)
『As a general, I will lay my life for the ruler that I believe in. That ruler is the former King Albert-dono and absolutely not you!』(Castor)
「Is that so?...... I only want you to please remember that before you are a general, you also carry many things on your back.」(Souma)
『Your Majesty, Castor is……』(Excel)
