I Became a Retired Warrior Who Suffered NTR in the Novel

80 – Identity

“Edwin.”

“Huh?”

“I’ll ask you one question too.”

Before I answered Edwin’s question right away, I also asked him a question.

“If you were to marry Clara, would you?”

“That… What…”

“If I asked you to marry Clara instead of Cecilia, would you do it?”

“What nonsense…We are siblings.”

“My answer is the same. Of course, Clara is seen as a woman, but most of my heart sees Clara as a sister, just like you.”

“……”

I explained to Edwin the way I felt about Clara in a way that was easy for him to understand.

Hearing my words, Edwin could not speak any more and quietly drank his glass.

I also tilted my glass to match, hoping that Edwin would understand my feelings.

*

After leaving her drinking party, Clara did not show up until the event was over.

It wasn’t until near the end that only Cecilia appeared when she shook her head, but she didn’t say anything special.

After returning to my room, I went straight to bed due to fatigue from the trip and drunkenness from alcohol…

Smart.

I had to get up again and go to the door at the knock.

“Who are you?”

Let’s open the door and check the face standing in the hallway,

She hadn’t even gone to her room yet, and Kir was standing in front of the door without even changing her clothes.

“A warrior. Shall we have another drink?”

“Sorry. Kir. I’m tired today, so I can’t drink any more.”

“Yeah…”

I tried to close the door after rejecting Kir…

“Hero!”

“Huh?”

“Then can’t I just sleep next to you?”

Kir, who held my hand to keep me from closing the door, asked again, and I was so flustered at the moment that I let out a loud noise without even realizing it.

“Kir! Just like last time…”

“No. I’m going to sleep in my clothes this time.”

“No way. So just go back.”

“Sheesh…”

Kirr expressed his regret by clicking the tip of his tongue, and I was able to close the door again after seeing Kirr’s back with a grunt.

Since Kir died like that…

I thought I could go back to sleep.

But…

Smart.

Just as I was about to go to sleep, the knocking sound again.

Just pretend to sleep,

I tried to sleep while ignoring it…

Smart smart.

At the end of the day, I had to get up from my seat with an annoyed sigh at the sound of knocking again.

“Kir! And why…”

I thought it was Kir, of course, and shouted at the door at the same time.

“Hero…”

“Wow… Princess?”

“Kir-sama is here too…”

“Ah… yes… what…”

Clara was talking to me with her usual smile, not in a bright voice but with a lowered head and a calm voice.

How much she cried, even her voice was so locked up that I couldn’t hear it clearly.

“Can I come in for a minute?”

“Ah. Yes. Come on in.”

I opened the door and led Clara to her chair.

“Why didn’t you go to sleep at this hour, and why are you here…”

“I have something to say to the hero.”

Clara sat across from her and looked closely at her face. It wasn’t enough that her eyes were bloodshot, and her tears were about to burst.

“I… Really can’t? Warrior?”

“That… As I said earlier… I only see the princess as her sister rather than a woman…”

“Even like this?”

When I got up while I was talking, Clara pushed back her chair and stood,

She was slowly undoing the laces of her dress with her trembling hands.

“Wow.. Princess! What are you doing?”

I hurriedly got up and tried to stop Clara, but she had already undone the straps of her dress, so she couldn’t bear to put her hand on her.

“I want to sleep with the hero too!”

“What is that…”

“Then… Then… The hero will have a different opinion of me…”

She took off her dress and was wearing an underwear dress underneath, but she couldn’t bear to take it off.

He was struggling to speak with a trembling voice.

“Princess…”

“Like Kir-sama… If I sleep one night… Then… I won’t change my mind…”

“Princess…Don’t do this.”

I hurriedly covered her body with the gown that was in the room without touching her, but

She lifted her shoulders and threw it off, as if she didn’t like her gown that was getting in the way, and opened her mouth again.

“Why? Why can’t I? Why can’t I, when Kiru can do it? Is it because I’m a princess? Then I’ll lay down the royalty. Will you accept me if I become a commoner?”

“……”

“I don’t want to live in a palace or a big mansion. Even a small cabin is fine, so I want to live with the hero. So please don’t say no to me.”

Finally Clara hugged me with only her underwear dress on.

I was unknowingly swept away by the strange atmosphere and almost crossed the line, but luckily it didn’t go to the worst.

Instead of…

As Clara hugged me and tried to kiss her, a difficult situation unfolded again…

“Princess… If this is the case…”

I braced her neck and turned her head to avoid Clara’s lips as she struggled, but

I wonder if Clara is stronger than me today, or if my body has already been conquered by s*xual desire, she couldn’t avoid her kiss.

“I love you. Warrior.”

And Clara’s soft and warm voice echoed in her room…

*****

The new warrior’s mansion prepared by the Eritre Empire was less heavily guarded than I thought…

On the contrary, the servants seemed to be too short for a celebrity to stay.

Balark, who was adopted as a new hero, was sitting on the garden terrace with an arrogant attitude, but had to change his posture again when someone approached him…

“Demon Lord! Are you here?”

The person who entered the garden was the High Priest Radbod, wearing a white high priest’s uniform and holding a cane symbolizing a high position in the High Priest.

“Sit comfortably.”

High Priest Rad Bode beckoned Ballack, and Ballak sat down again, but he didn’t sit arrogantly like before.

“Didn’t anything special happen while I was gone?”

“hahahaha, is there anything special? Except for the visits of human nobles and royalty to impress the new hero, there was nothing special.”

“Yes…”

Balach continued to smile at High Priest Radboud with his usual androgynous laughter.

Typically, he was talking as carefully as possible, even taking on expressions and gestures similar to flattery that a lower person would show to a higher-ranking person.

“You have to accept what is reasonably acceptable, firmly block what is to be stopped, and keep your distance.”

“Yes! Demon King. I will keep that in mind.”

“Have you found Seir’s whereabouts?”

“That’s… Not yet…”

The High Priest Radbod, or the Demon King, was looking for Seir, the Four Heavenly Kings, who fled after being defeated by a hero in the Principality of Alsmeyer.

Currently, Balak and Seir were the only remaining four kings in the Demon King’s army, and since his strength was needed for the forthcoming all-out attack, he ordered Ballak to investigate the whereabouts.

“If you find anything, bring it to me.”

“Yes! All right!”

“And you delivered everything I asked you to do?”

“Yes. Demon King. In this all-out attack, we have communicated this to each unit to ensure that our demon army does not attack the Eritre Imperial Army, just in case.”

“Never make a mistake.”

“Yes!”

An all-out attack planned by High Priest Radbod…

In fact, the demon king who holds the western part of the continent in his hands with the demon king army, in the upcoming all-out attack, the demon king army from the south through the kingdom of Horon,

And in the west, the Eritre Imperial Army plans to attack the Argen Kingdom.

As a basis for this, in the Great War, the hero Carlos was designated as a deserted hero who abandoned the hero’s mission, and was in the process of continuing diplomatic attacks and people’s mental education.

As a result, believers within the Empire and those who followed the Great War fell to the bottom of their trust in the hero, Kalos, and those with antipathy began to appear.

There were also those who believed blindly that only the new hero was the real hero.

“Demon King, by the way, is it okay to leave the saintess and Lydia like that?”

“What do you mean?”

“Can’t we make them undead like Illuen and make them follow our orders?”

“Don’t touch those two. It seems that the saintess already suspects that Iluen has become undead, and if she touches it wrongly, it will be known that our demon king’s army has taken over the western part of the continent…”

“Yes.”

The Demon King, who almost dominated the central and western parts of the continent, was most concerned about,

If the news that the demon king’s army had occupied this place spread throughout the continent, I wondered if other regions in the north would join the war.

Although the southern part of the continent is a heresy, they are also hostile to the demon king’s army,

The eastern part of the continent is so far away and there is almost no interaction, but that doesn’t mean they weren’t the ones to watch the demon king’s army occupy the continent.

So the demon king had to deal with the all-out attack towards the northern part of the continent as quietly, quickly and perfectly as possible.

For now, once we destroy only the northern part, we can take over the human world to some extent…

“What if the saintess notices everything and tells the hero or runs away?”

“Heh… I’m sure you would believe me if I told you that Saint Emilia was going to the hero right now? She has already been coldly rejected several times?”

“Ah…”

“Leave the work of the Great War to me, so that you, Balach, only care about the Demon Lord Army… If this all-out attack fails, that will be the end for you and me and our Demon Lord Army.”

Until now, as she had planned, Saint Emilia had been hated by the hero a lot, so even if she found out about everything, she didn’t worry too much.

When I went in front of the warrior on the 10th day, the high priest Radbod was the demon king,

If I say that the new hero is his subordinate, the Four Heavenly Kings, Balak, it will only look like he is struggling to join the hero party again.

Judging from recent events, there was a high chance that she would be kicked out of the kingdom like Lydia.

“Yes. I’ll keep that in mind. Demon King.”
