Abandoned Retired Warrior Decides to Return to Farming

chapter 12



Today, the prestige of the Imperial Cathedral has fallen to the ground.

There were suspicions that the saint and the demons had colluded, and even suspected that he had contributed to the escape of such a saint, so the eyes of the citizens were not good.

In particular, some of the residents who suffered damage from the invasion of demons that day even held a demonstration.

In addition, as baseless rumors spread, such as embezzling donations or s*xually assaulting a goddess, the problem became so serious that even believers left.

Of course, it was Aurelia’s masterpiece, who looked at them with respect, but no one noticed it.

“When is the teacher coming out?”

Aurelia, the princess of the great empire and the hero who sealed the demon king.

It was said that there was no place on the continent that did not reach her fame, and her influence was at a level that even the emperor could not ignore.

Now, she was standing in the synagogue of the cathedral and beating the members.

“Wait a minute and he will come out soon.”

“Whoa. It seems that the headmaster responsible for only this small building is busier than me, the princess.”

“No, it’s not like that, because the princess came so suddenly…”

“Hey, what did you just say?”

“Hey!”

iron hull.

When the knight accompanying her made some armor noises, the Shinto’s face turned blue.

In the first place, since it was the time for worshipers to worship at this time, it was not possible to receive guests.

Nevertheless, thanks to her who came to the church on time as if she knew it, the service had already been delayed by nearly 30 minutes.

“Forgive me for being late. Princess.”

A soft voice with a warm feeling inside.

The believers then sighed in relief and retreated back as if running away.

Instead, the headmaster stood there and bowed his head facing the princess.

“Welcome to the Cathedral. Princess. Obviously the Goddess…”

“Teacher.”

Aurelia interrupts her conversation with a stinging voice when the headmaster is about to say hello.

Behind her, the devotees looked at her with displeasure, but couldn’t say anything.

The headmaster also raised his head and did not express anything, only a peaceful smile.

“Yes, princess.”

“I don’t want to stay for very long, so I’ll just talk about the basics. The Demon King is resurrected.”

“Ma, the Demon King?

“Yes. We will be announcing it to other heroes soon.”

“But obviously, the Demon King sealed the seal five years ago.”

“Yes, I sealed it. That period was originally 100 years.”

The believers who were listening to her whispered.

Demon Lord, in the age of peace that has finally come, it was a very foreign entity.

The headmaster was also embarrassed by the news, but before that, he had a question.

“But how are you going to tell us that first?”

If it was the Knights Templar, there was no particular reason why the Cathedral had to know these secrets in advance.

In addition, the relationship between her and the church was close to the worst due to the problem with the saint last time.

But in a situation where an official statement hasn’t even been released yet, was there any loyalty to tell me first? That’s how it came to me as well.

The headmaster felt uneasy at her sudden travel, and it was exactly right.

“Isn’t it strange, Master? In this situation where the saint escaped, the Demon King was resurrected just in time… Am I the only one who thinks this is strange?”

“Hey, princess! What does that mean?”

The angry voice of the headmaster, who had never been angry with anyone in his life, resounded in the synagogue.

The knights were staring at them in their helmets, but they didn’t care.

No matter how much a princess is, a saint cannot be easily mentioned by anyone, even the emperor.

However, dragging her to the dungeon wasn’t enough, and now she was just blatantly insulting her existence just by guessing.

“Why? So excited. Do you have any guesses?”

“Even if you are a princess, it is a statement that cannot be easily overlooked. Please bear in mind that there are many more ears here besides me.”

The believers who were watching the situation also stared at her without hiding their anger.

It was rude enough to be dragged away immediately, but to them, the existence of a saint and a child named Aerith were so precious that they could not bear it.

Aurelia looked at them like that and ridiculed them.

“okay. Then I have to bring the ‘evidence’ that the teacher likes so much. So, no matter how much I am, the headmaster will no longer whine at my words, will he?”

“······Princess. Why the hell are you doing this? Why have you changed?”

“Fufu.”

A mockery of open hostility.

As she spit on the headmaster and smiled, the people next to him barely stopped some of the followers and paladins from running out.

“Professor, please know this one thing. If there is evidence that the saint had colluded with the demon king, the collaborators who made her escape will not be safe either.”

“·················ogue.”

A message containing both a warning and a threat.

When some of the devotees who helped her escape looked at the headmaster’s back, trembling with anxiety, she laughed.

“Then, I’ll come again next time. Because I am as busy as the teacher.”

“······yes. All right.”

“Ah, next time you come, please come right away.”

After she said that, she turned her back and went back the way she had come.

The faces of anxious teachers and believers. It was rewarding just to see it. She thought so and went out of the church.

She clicked her tongue as she looked at the cathedral where the divine powers were gathered enough to dazzle her eyes.

“Really, the rotten me vibrates whenever I come.”

He didn’t like the fact that it was only effective against the undead, and the fact that it was separated from magic to heal the body and mind a bit.

A divine power granted only to those who are called by God. After all, packaging like that is no different than magic, right?

While she harbored such dissatisfaction with the cathedral, the minister of Belgeron came and looked at her.

“Then the time has come for Lowe and the other warriors to arrive. Prepare the carriage.”

“Yes, princess. Before that, I have something to report to you.”

Aurelia blinked her eyes, and she continued.

“According to the report of the scouts, the demon lord has begun to advance. The direction is said to be heading this way.”

“…the army of the demons.”

“So far, only the Demon King has been reported, but it will not be strange if other demons appear at any time.”

He must be trying to get revenge on the seal five years ago. Otherwise, there was no reason to come here.

Demon Lord, when I remembered that incident five years ago, it felt like the fear of that time was revived.

Aurelia took a deep breath and frowned. She asked the minister in anticipation of good news.

“By the way, did you find out where Kael is?”

“I’m sorry. We haven’t found it yet.”

“Ts. What the hell are the soldiers doing? I just couldn’t find a single person!”

“Sin, sorry!”

“Hah, was it too hasty to send it like that back then?”

Despite the mobilization of numerous informant troops, there has been no success yet.

Moreover, he was being delayed further by avoiding the eyes of his brother Dimitri’s forces.

Did the saints go somewhere with a group to make a guest appearance? The fact that you can’t see people even if you unravel them to this extent means that they’re in places that aren’t on the map.

It was difficult to find such a place, and it was difficult to enter, so it was unclear when we would find it.

Finally, Aurelia let out an annoyed sigh.

“I, release more troops and intensify the search…”

“No, stop the search. Now that I know that the Demon King is coming, I can no longer use my forces against humans who may not be alive. Gather everyone here, including the soldiers who were after the saint.”

“I will implement it in divisions and divisions.”

kael, it was a pity that I couldn’t find him, but that didn’t mean I wasn’t confident in sealing the Demon King again.

Of the heroes who sealed the Demon King that day, except for Kael, all of them are still active in this capital city.

He was the strongest, but Aurelia didn’t think victory was impossible without him.

At that time, there was only one hero, but now there are up to five including Lowe.

Of course, the number of parties has multiplied several times, although Lowe’s ability has not yet reached Kael’s.

One of them even had one of the heroes he sealed with, Serin.

Compared to that time, the level of power is rather overflowing, and even unlike then, if only one demon king came, things would be easier.

So Aurelia got on the wagon to the conference hall at a confident pace.

This time, in order to securely seal the Demon King and make the Empire his own.

*

While the Empire was taking measures against the Demon King, the Demon King was advancing along the path drawn on the map.

After walking for a while, she came out of the forest and the capital of the empire began to appear.

A bright smile appeared on her lips as she looked at the map and the city alternately.

“Fufu. We are almost there now.”

After saying that, she turned and started running again.

And it was in the opposite direction to the capital.
