The Max Level Hero Has Returned!

-In an objective view, it could be both helpful and not helpful. If you decided, it’s better to clean up everything.

‘Do you think it is better that way?’

-Please avoid killing as much as possible.

‘Are you supposed to say that as the Demon King?’

-I am not sure where the belief that demons love blood came from.

It wasn’t surprising to hear her saying something like that since she had insisted on anti-war from the start.

“Well, now. I think this is enough.”

“So…if…”

“I don’t like unnecessary killing that much.”

As I stood up, talking calmly, he looked perplexed.

“Forget everything you saw today. And you’d better keep your mouth shut if you don’t want to find yourself in trouble.”

At my words, he nodded quietly, trembling.

“That’s it.”

Ttaak!

When I flicked my finger lightly, he fell.

-You should know that they might come at you later.

‘Didn’t you just say that I shouldn’t kill him?’

-Still, your life is an important matter.

I crossed my arms and smiled at the silver-haired girl who was giggling.

“Sometimes, there are things scarier than death.”

When I took out the documents inside and unfolded them, it quickly printed text lightly on the paper. It was confidential information that needed a password to access. They could have used magical artifacts. The information accessible with the guild leader’s authority was more extensive and detailed than I thought. There were reasons why they were the best guild in the kingdom.

But I didn’t stop there.

-As you said, a rabbit wouldn’t have dug only one burrow.

“There must be missing information. It must have been hidden in other information guilds.”

The Black Moon Guild was the largest Information guild in the Al Rown Kingdom, without a doubt. However, even if it was a large Information guild, having all the information in one place was dangerous. If you put all the information in one place, there would be a higher liability. Duke Barrieta was no fool, so he must have prepared several alternatives.

I was going to put them in an irreversible situation. Even though it was a fragment of information, there was content about Duke Barrieta’s attempt to seek the position of King through Carlos. If you think about it, this country…the Al Rown kingdom hadn’t appointed the next king, the crowned prince.

-Are you going to handle them yourself?

“Why would I do that? There is someone else who can do that for me.”

-There is someone else…

“No matter how high-ranking as aristocrats they are, they still have political rivals.”

-But, will they move according to your will?

“A beast, who is starved to death, can’t pass by its victim. I have one person in mind who will jump in without a second thought.”

And he would turn the situation in my favor. As I talked calmly, I used the stealth magic again.

“Today’s theme is ‘night guest’. Let’s sneak in without being noticed.”

-What if you get caught?

“Why do you think I said the word “sneak”? When the viewer disappears, it still works out.”

Assassination or stealth…what was I afraid of? I destroyed the so-called top-notch guild, the Black Moon.

“There are six more guilds. Let’s get going.”

-As you wish.

15.

Land? For this barren land?

“Your Majesty, Prince Davey’s Stigmata is our country’s treasure and delight. It would be great if you recognize his contribution by rewarding him.”

“Rewarding him?”

“I heard that Prince Davey has already been given a manor. I heard it’s the region of Hines.”

“That’s right.”

Each member of royalty had their own manor. The criterion was that the royal family member who came of age would receive one. Of course, when he became of age, a manor was granted by the kingdom for Davey. It was the eastern part of the kingdom, Hines, a province facing the Mainland. However, while it was a massive area of land, it was also largely barren. It would be a waste to abandon, but had too few resources or specialties to develop.

It was Queen Liness’s idea that the land should be handed down to David.

“Now, Prince Davey seems to be almost recovered, so why don’t you let him go down and develop the land so that he can benefit the kingdom.”

Queen Liness suggested with a pretty smile. She didn’t think it would be successful at once, as he was constantly deviating from her intentions. It would have been perfect for her if he had died in a coma. He’d been a thorn in Liness’s eyes since he got up.

She didn’t like it. The assassination failed not once but twice. Moreover, one of her biggest secrets, Sharis, had gone missing. Someone was protecting him. Was it the king or someone else? The Marquis Patelis could have been within the radar of suspects, but it still couldn’t explain the situation unless he was directly engaged.

It was complicated.

The assassins couldn’t defeat him, and the Stigmata made it difficult to blame him as a madman and put him in confinement as a disqualified prince. There was only one way left; legally remove him from the royal palace. There were lots of methods, whether it is through an arranged marriage or independence. The reason she made that decision was that she couldn’t keep an eye on him anymore.

The day before, someone robbed all the information guilds. Not one or two, but seven information guilds in this country were robbed in a single day. She couldn’t figure out who did it, but her instinct was yelling at her that it was the same person who had been helping the prince. The backer seemed so vicious that she thought she had no means to win.

The only answer was that she didn’t want to fight such a monster. If the information from the information guilds went to the Marquis of Patelis, known as a political rival of the nobles…

The aftermath that would arise was that the nobles, led by Duke Barrieta, who had stood firmly, could be shaken at once. She had to be careful dealing with her opponent because the information was dangerously valuable. She had to even consider a rebellion in such a problematic situation, which was her last resort. That was why she made the suggestion.

Now that she wasn’t in a situation to care for Davey, she has no choice but to put the troubling child on hold for a while. She was uncertain if King Crianes would approve it, but she had to try it first. She smiled at King Crianes, looking at her as if examining her intention.

“You’re right. It’s not good education for a grown-up prince who isn’t the crowned prince to continue to stay in the royal palace.”

Queen Liness looked surprised at his calm reply. Why all of a sudden? His surprising decision caused her eyes to widen.

‘What the hell is this guy thinking?’

King Crianes thwarted all of the strategies she had put in place to cut Davey’s breath short. She couldn’t understand, but it wasn’t bad either. If she could get rid of him, she no longer needed to worry about the problem right now. If Hines’ Manor developed, it would be a tremendous strength for him, but she was convinced it would never be. Hines’ province was a barren land that could practically be called cursed.

“Speaking of which, why don’t we get ready, chamberlain!”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“Call Davey.”

Seeing him speaking boldly, Queen Liness looked like she didn’t know whether to laugh or frown.

“Prince Majesty, the King Majesty is looking for you.”

“The King?”

“Yes, you should change into your formal outfit and visit his Majesty’s palace.”

“Well…okay.”

When Vespers, the chief of staff, came to me, I watched his back with narrow eyes. What brings you here? Suddenly I thought about it, and when I woke up, I saw Perserk lying in bed and sleeping.

‘Wake up.’

-Hmm…let me sleep a little bit more…

She mumbled and rolled up in the sheet that was a dozen times larger than her body. She was invisible to others, but she was real, so if someone were watching, it would look like a ghost was rolling about.

‘Wake up. I’ll let you sleep as long as you want later.’

Of course, I had no intention of indulging this naughty Demon King’s grievance.

-You have no mercy on me. I hardly ever get good sleep because you wake me up all the time. You have to guarantee me more sleep.

‘We have a big age difference, but let’s not say something that could mislead others.’

-Hmm…you’re a mess.

As she slowly got up, she yawned and sat on my head.

“Let me help you get dressed, your Majesty.

“Please.”

At my words, Amy smiled, looking to be in a good mood.

* * *

I expected this. Since he realized that my existence was like a strange bomb, he would have decided that he couldn’t leave me here anymore.

“Go and cultivate the assigned Hines land. Brighten your existence more and more.”

He acted like a father who tossed pains on his son to motivate him. However, I had already learned that the meaning behind his speech was different because of Perserk’s whispering.

-Hmm…he is afraid that you’ll take things too far here, so he is going to relocate us somewhere else.

‘Don’t remind me for no reason.’

-Haven’t you noticed anyway?

Perserk shrugged.

-Your father doesn’t seem to fully believe in your abilities yet.

‘If he didn’t do this, I would have left on my own.’

No mines had been discovered, and since it was a wasteland, clearing it to make farmland wouldn’t be easy. The monster’s habitat was also not too far away. The only good thing I found was its potential as a transportation hub, but that was only if the roads were paved properly.

Oh, there was one more. The land of Baron Alisha, the home of my mother, was right there. There was nothing left of Baron Alisha now, who became a low-ranking nobleman after having been quietly dismantled. My mother’s parents, my maternal grandfather and maternal grandmother, had already passed away.

Although my mother had a younger brother, who was the only blood relative left, he was missing. I thought my face would have frowned automatically, but when I remained unexpectedly calm, King Crianes had a little doubt in his eyes.
