Volume 11, Chapter 1: Trying Out Going to the Royal Castle – Part 4

They advanced down a hallway lined with works of art.
For places like this, he thought that they would normally be decorated with paintings of beautiful women, or at least half men and half women, but it was filled with nothing but paintings and sculptures of naked men.
Beautiful young boys, slender pretty boys, muscular machos……
「……Is this the king’s preference?」
He ended feeling like they wouldn’t be able to get along with each other.
The old butler spoke with a bewildered look.
「Normally, you would have been made to wait for several days within the castle but……」
「Ha?」
「I give you my heartfelt apology as this time, through His Majesty’s idea, it has reached the stage of holding the ceremony immediately. I cannot bear the sense of shame for being unable to make any sort of preparation for such an important event like the conference between His Majesty the King of another country and His Majesty the King of the Lifelia Kingdom.」
「Ah, um……」
Diablo was the one who had refused the audience once.
In the end, taking the form of Horun and Lumachina being taken as hostages, he was forcibly taken along by Maximum though.
「The new kings of the Greenwood Kingdom and the Lifelia Kingdom──Two important persons will be having a conference. For a historical event such as this……if we were to conform with tradition, there would be more than a month’s time of preparation, an extensive appeal to even the surrounding countries, and be organized with the royal arena which can hold a hundred thousand people as the event site.」
「Fu, fufufu……」
If it were to turn into something like that, he would have run away.
To have a conference with the king, while being bathed in the attention of a hundred thousand people.
Impossible!
In front of some gigantic doors, the old butler lowered his head very deeply.
「Unable to prepare a befitting location despite this being a conference between two fellow kings, it pains me very much to say that it will take place in the Audience Room. Nevertheless, I ask that you please overlook this matter for the sake of the peace and prosperity of both countries.」
「Hmph……That is a trifling matter. I am not some small-timer that would fuss over the form of it.」
He was wearing his Demon King character, but he did feel that peace was best.
Even the Lifelia King should understand Diablo’s strength.
Most likely, it would turn into a conference that wouldn’t touch upon that. It would be great if it did.
The doors were opened.
A red carpet continued straight ahead.
Lined up on the left and right of it were heavily armed foot soldiers that held spears, and several retainers such as cabinet ministers and generals.
And then, on a platform, a man in the prime of his life was sitting on a throne.
His age was in the latter half of his 30’s.
Since the Humans of the Lifelia Kingdom would generally live to about 60 years old, he was probably on the younger side as a king.
It wasn’t like he had a strong presence like Galford, and overflowing magical power couldn’t be seen either.
──I don’t know about his leadership skills, but his personal fighting power looks normal.
It seemed that the rumors about Diablo had circulated as the lined up retainers were exchanging words in whispers.
「……Is that him?」
「So that’s the Adventurer that defeated the Great Demon King.」
「What are those horns?」
「The likes of a Demon.」
It wasn’t a welcoming atmosphere.
Even so, the cabinet minister that stood next to the king spoke where only the words were welcoming.
「Welcome and thank you for coming, Diablo Greenwood-sama.」
His gender neutral looks are beautiful──is what he thought.
This was something that Diablo should have no way of knowing, but that cabinet minister was Duke Noa Gibun. He was the Lifelia Kingdom’s substantial prime minister. He takes responsibility of a majority of the national politics in place of the king.
Since he thought “the time when I give my name is my biggest weak point”, he was relieved that his name was put out there.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
「Hmph……」
However, seeing that attitude, voices saying 「how impudent」 were leaked out from a portion of the retainers.
Diablo was startled.
Should he have said something there?
He gritted his teeth in his mind.
──It can’t be helped, right!? I’m just a hikikomori and NEET gamer. There’s no way I would know the correct conduct to take in front of a king! After being forcibly summoned here, I get treated as someone rude. Who’s the rude one here! Well, I’m probably the one in the wrong for being ignorant though……
If he weren’t doing his Demon King role play, he probably would have flinched and hung his head down. He had a personality that would be easily depressed since long ago.
There was a mountain of things that he wanted to say, but he would be troubled if it turned into a war between the Greenwood Kingdom and the Lifelia Kingdom.
This was where he had to endure it.
Cabinet minister Noa, who was next to the king, continued speaking.
「First of all, Diablo-sama, I have called out the people that you surely most concerned about.」
「Mu?」
When he gave the signal, a different door opened.
Two women came in.
They were a petite young girl with black panther ears and tail, and an Elf that possessed blond hair and a chest that looked like they were filled to the point of bursting.
