“Lord Hal. Could you explain who that person is?”
Immediately after bisecting King Aival, Sandra came before me with a smile, pressing close.
She was looking at me with blood-soaked red eyes, the highlights completely gone.
But how should I explain?
Yuri’s existence was erased from Sandra and the others’ memories when we parted ways, and even if I were to explain from scratch, I don’t know how to put it. This is troubling.
“Young Lady, there is no need for concern. That person is male.”
Oh, so Sandra was displeased not because she suspected Yuri, but because she thought Yuri was a girl?
Certainly, even knowing that Yuri is a man, Lloyd still falls for him because he’s so beautiful. It’s no wonder she misunderstood.
“I-Is that so…?”
“Yeah. He… Yuri is a man.”
I answered clearly to Sandra, who asked timidly with an upturned gaze.
To emphasize that there was no need for Sandra to be jealous.
“I see… Then, he’s a friend of Lord Hal’s…”
“No, no. Hal-kun and I are soulmates, you know! Right!”
No, no, not “Right!” And could you stop intertwining your arm with mine?
“Monica! What is the meaning of this!”
“…While there is no doubt that this person is male, I never imagined that Prince Harold would have such tastes.”
“I don’t have such tastes.”
Monica pressed a handkerchief to her eyes and gave a theatrical sob, so I calmly denied it. I’m perfectly normal.
“Muu… It doesn’t matter if it’s a boy or a girl, right?”
“Of course it matters.”
I calmly retorted to Yuri, who was puffing out his cheeks.
This isn’t a situation where we can keep indulging in such jokes, so let’s get serious soon… It’s a joke, right?
“Wow… Hal-san, you’re finally expanding your range to include men…”
“Liliana, don’t jump to conclusions.”
I’m getting tired of denying it.
Why do I have to be looked at like that…?
“…Cute.”
Lloyd fell in love with Yuri at first sight again. Well, I knew it would happen.
At that moment,
“Ugh, ugh…”
King Aival, who had been bisected, groaned.
Oh no, I completely forgot about him.
“You’re persistent. To think you’re still alive.”
I crouched down in front of King Aival and gave him a grand sarcastic remark.
However, he was already on his last breath and would die in just a few seconds, a few dozen seconds at most.
“Y-You… to think that the ‘Incompetent Rascal Prince’ would dare…!”
“Are you still saying that? You’re such an idiot.”
No longer showing any courtesy to the king, I sent a look of contempt at King Aival.
However, regarding his attempt to fulfill his role as a major character in EnHaza, well… sorry, I don’t feel anything.
On the contrary, I will never forgive him for forcibly trying to cancel my engagement with Sandra and for trying to destroy the Chevalier family. Regret it in the afterlife.
“Ulysses… You betrayed me and God(・) so well…!”
“Say whatever you want. I was just following That Guy’s(・・・) instructions, and I never intended to become Aival-kun’s ally from the start. On the contrary, I was fed up with your foolishness and incompetence.”
“You…!”
Even so, King Aival, you’re not dying easily. Persistent.
Moreover, his face is bright red with anger, and it’s hard to believe that he’s been bisected… Wait!?
“Everyone! Get away!”
“””””Eh!?”””””
At my words, everyone immediately distanced themselves from King Aival.
But what exactly are these wriggling tentacles emerging from the cut in his torso…?
“Eww… those squirming things are coming out from the lower half too…”
“What did you say!?”
Just as Liliana said, tentacles were also extending from the cut in his lower half, heading towards the severed upper body.
Could it be… is he trying to reconnect…?
But.
–Squish.
“Fufu… Did you really think we would overlook that?”
“You’re truly foolish.”
Sandra crushed the lower half with Balmung, a sneer on her face.
At the same time, Monica expressionlessly set King Aival’s upper body on fire.
“Guaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!?”
“A fitting death cry for a monster.”
Certainly, since he even grew tentacles, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that he had long ceased to be human… but you two are merciless.
“Aival-kun. With this, you won’t be able to become the God(・) you desired.”
“Yuri?”
“Aha♪ This man, of all things, wanted to become a God(・). That’s why he sided with “The Person Inside” and declared, ‘Whoever brings the World’s Greatest Fiancée will be the next king.'”
“Hee…”
I see, so King Aival’s goal was to become a God(・).
As a destination for those in power, it’s not strange to desire that. Even in my previous life, historical kings desired to become Gods(・) and some even called themselves Gods(・).
However… the God(・) that King Aival sought is just an AI.
You could interpret that as wanting to be used by humans.
“In any case, we will pass it down to posterity. As the most foolish king in the history of the Dehauvalz Kingdom.”
“Gi… gigigi…”
I coldly declared to King Aival, who was screaming in the raging flames.
