Dropped into Another World…

-King of Emperors’ POV-

Don’t you think it’s dangerous to stay in the castle?

Should we run away?

Is this country done for?….What are you saying?

-0-

I’m irritated by those rumors.

I gave instructions to kill those who escape for treason.

This country doesn’t need them nor their family!

Burn the throats of those who are speaking insolence!

I could hear the gasps of those in the audience hall.

Yes, I’m the strongest in this world.

Don’t you forget that.

「How’s the report from the mages?」

The kneeling knight did not give the answer I wanted.

I was so angry that my front turned red.

-0-

What are they doing!

They just need to return the magic stone back to its former status!

They can get as many slaves as they want, why don’t they use them?

For what reason did they think that I had increased the number of slaves?

-0-

My anger doubled when I saw my lost arm.

Why do I, the king, have to expose myself like this?

I’m the strongest, the king of Emperors!

-0-

That abominable attack.

Ever since that day, I’ve been in a constant state of irritation.

「Your majesty, please take some rest.」

「Shut up!」

I kicked the woman who came next to me.

I hear screams all around me.

As soon as I look at them, they immediately look down, trembling.

「Your majesty, what have you done to your own granddaughter?」

「Shut up!」

I threw something to that woman.

It hits her head and she collapses to the floor.

Useless small fry!

Is there anyone who can bring me the answer I need?

I turned my gaze to the nobles lining up by the wall.

No one dared to meet my gaze.

To think that they have been behaving arrogantly until now, what a useless bunch.

「Forgive my impertinence, your majesty.」

A noble steps forward.

「Speak.」

「Thank you for your mercy. Why don’t you take another look at the ancient ruins?」

He spoke in an irritating tone but I suppressed my anger.

The ancient ruins.

The place where the magic stone was found.

For me, it’s a sacred place.

I put barriers around it to make it impossible for anyone to enter.

「The ancient ruins.」

Right, it should be a good idea to have them check it out again.

I’m sure this guy is from a Marquis family.

If we find anything from the ancient ruins, I’ll reward you.

「Call the chief mage.」

—Scene Change—

-0-

I received a report that the investigation team for the ancient ruins has left the castle.

-0-

The ancient ruins were shown to me by the three gods.

We found the magic stone there.

They want me to become the king of the world.

…yes, the three gods have recognized me as the king of the world.

There is no need to be afraid of anyone.

Yes, there’s no need to be afraid.

What can the kings of the forest do?

What have the kings of the forest, who are objects of worship in other countries, done for us?

For the Emperors Kingdom, the three gods who brought miracles to the kingdom are the only gods in this world.

The kings of the forest are just a bunch of beasts.

-0-

Didn’t many people pray to the kings of the forest when the people of our country were dying because of bad harvest?

However, the kings of the forest only gave us a little food.

The food they gave was not even enough to pay for taxes.

Can’t you understand the difficulty of sending knights to various places in order to have the people pay their due?

How many people starved to death those days?

-0-

Those people are my people and I’m responsible for them.

They starved to death because the kings of the forest didn’t give them enough food.

Though the bad harvest was due to their poor management.

How can magic be the cause?

Everyone’s shouting that it was my fault.

-0-

As if to add to my suffering, the river overflowed.

The people are clamoring for me to share my food but if I starve, the country will be done for!

It’s already been a difficult time and I had to deal with all those rebels.

It’s all the kings of the forest’s fault!

-0-

The three gods are different.

They have heard my prayers.

They have changed the world.

The harvest was better than ever and many of my people were able to pay their taxes to me.

What a joyful event.

-0-

That time, I finally understood.

The only gods in this world are the three gods.

The existence of the kings of the forest was meaningless.

-0-

The three gods will help me again, I’m sure of it.
