The eminence of a true king

"Will you join us, Claire Kagenou?"

After telling the whole truth, Leon invited the black-haired girl in front of him to join the group.

But because the amount of information was too large, Claire's brain went into a shutdown state.

Claire: "......"

The black-haired girl sat there, expressionless.

She used to think the world was pretty simple. She could practice fencing, go to school, join the Knights after graduation, or return to inherit her family's estate.

But now she realizes that it is just a surface used by the world to hide hidden currents.

She didn't expect such a dark thing to happen in this world!

But now, as long as she holds Leon's hand, there is no doubt that her life will deviate from its original trajectory, change a lot, and her world will expand.

But...

"...I'm sorry, please allow me to decline."

"Is that really the case?"

Faced with Claire's rejection, Leon was not at all surprised.

Rejection is natural. This girl has not experienced the despair of losing everything.

Her [Demonic Possession] was cured by Leon when it was still in its early stages, she had not been exposed to her family and friends.

Therefore, she was not treated as a demon.

She was not abandoned by her parents.

She was not hated by her friends.

She was not hurt by malice.

She was very lucky not to experience despair.

Leon couldn't help but think of the girls from [Night Raid]. They had all lost everything and had nothing from the outside world.

For them now, there are only a few things worth caring about.

First: The will of your Lord, Leon.

Second: colleagues who have had the same experience.

Third: The destruction of the Cult of Diablos.

"It's a good thing to have a home you can return to. Work hard to gain strength in the future. After all, in this dangerous world, you still have to protect your own safety."

"Your Highness, I will remember this kindness. If you need my help in the future, just ask, well~ Although for you, a country noble like me probably can't do much."

"Well, that's true. I can't think of anything you can do to help."

"...There is no mercy at all."

The corners of Claire's eyes twitched.

But she was quite satisfied. The second prince in front of her was much better than those pretentious aristocratic young men at the banquet.

Leon's ears twitched and he heard that Alpha and the others had already dealt with Grease.

"Okay, it's almost time to go back and finish one last thing."

"What?"

"In the name of Leon Fon Palletia, I order you to forget everything about me today."

[A/N: That's his name, I got confused at the beginning and put it wrong]

The GEASS crest on Leon's left eye shone, and Claire's eyes were enveloped in red light.

"...As you command, my king."

She nodded blankly, and her brain erased today's memory of Leon.

Although she is an interesting girl, Leon will not let her information leak out.

The fact that the leader of [Night Raid] is Leon is a secret that cannot be known to anyone.

Leon turned and left.

.........…

"Huh? Why am I here?"

After a while, Claire came to her senses and looked around, not understanding what was happening.

She remembered that she was kidnapped by the [Cult of Diablos], that her [Demonic Possession] was cured, and that she was rescued.

"Huh? Who saved me? Why can't I remember what happened..."

Claire put her head in her hands and frowned.

It's like putting together the pieces of a puzzle, only to discover that the most crucial piece in the middle has been taken by someone.

It's so uncomfortable!

"Huh? This is..."

Suddenly, she noticed a cape over her shoulders.

She has no idea how long this has been placed on her shoulders, but it still carries a warm body temperature that is not hers.

Claire took the black cloak, looked at it with her eyes for a while, and then put it over her shoulders again.

"I'll definitely remember this!"

.........…

"Midnight-sama, is everything over?"

"Well, ignorance is also a kind of bliss. Only then can she continue to live under the light of day. Hey~ This time the trip was so boring."

Leon yawned, how long has it been since his sword drank the enemy's blood? The EA Break sword has been in the space sheath for a long time, almost rusty.

He raised his hand and touched Zeta's head skillfully. The cat-eared girl felt very good.

Although they belong to the golden leopard tribe, they are also cats. If petting a cat is a kind of happiness, then petting a female cat is a kind of ecstasy!

Zeta, who was originally a tomboy, now blushed and lowered her head, wagging her tail.

"Alpha, what do we get this time?"

"Yes, we have obtained a drug developed by the cult. It seems to be made to simulate [demonic possession]. It can double strength instantly, but the side effects are very strong. I intend to let Eta study it."

"Wow... That girl has been really busy lately. I'll find someone else to look into this later."

Leon touched his chin. He remembered that his dear sister Anise also had a partner who was very good at drug research.

The name appears to be Tilty Claret.

"You guys should go back first. I'll go to Beta to take a look, but there shouldn't be any accidents."

"Yeah, I'll leave that to you."

Leon opened the space door, letting Alpha and the others return first, and then opened another door with one blow.

As a result, he did not wait for him to intervene.

Then he saw the silver and green haired elf gritting her teeth, with a fierce expression on her face, and without any trace of the elegance that elves should have... Going on a killing spree!!!!

Leon: "???"

Leon, who was frightened by the other side of his subordinate, was stunned in place for five seconds.
