The eminence of a true king

The so-called [banned books].

These are books that are prohibited from reading, possession,g and studying. Once found in someone's possession, it is enough to be sentenced to death, but the price is very high on the black market.

"Forbidden book? That's good, I like those things that aren't allowed."

Leon happily took the forbidden book.

The book still had the warmth and fragrance of a girl, but his hand turned the page without any hesitation.

For the king who will rule the world in the future, there are no taboos in this world!

The title of the book is "Diablos vs. the Three Heroes", which is very reminiscent of a popular tale.

It tells the story of the demon Diablos who almost destroyed the world in the distant past, but was defeated by three warriors born from humans, elves and Therianthrope.

Well, although it looks like a book of fairy tales, it is a book of history.

But Leon was a little confused.

As there are books with similar content on the market, and even the titles are the same, it can be said that "Diablos vs. the Three Heroes" has long been a well-known "fairy tale book" in the world.

"But since it exists in the Forbidden Library, does that mean it's not an imaginary fairy tale, but a fact that happened hundreds of years ago?"

"It's interesting. Since it's a fact but not recorded, it seems like someone deliberately hid the story."

Leon said to himself.

In the history of this world that he knew, there were no Diablos or the Three Heroes.

In fact, while taking the history course, Leon noticed something unnatural.

Some of the history of this world seems to have been tampered with, it is very dark and there are many flaws.

Leon turned the forbidden book to the last page.

It was then that he saw a different ending from the fairy tale.

[The three heroes defeated the demon, but before his death, the demon Diablos placed a curse on the three heroes, transforming the heroes' descendants into twisted monsters.]

Leon frowned slightly as he read the text.

The cursed hero's descendants will have their bodies deformed and twisted when they are 5 to 10 years old, and their magical power will go out of control, as if they were possessed by demons.

"This symptom is very similar to the symptom of [demonic possession] that occasionally occurs among people. That's really interesting."

Leon closed the book and threw it aside casually.

He got the main point.

If the contents of this book are true.

This means that someone distorted the history of the world, and the story that everyone always considered a fairy tale actually happened.

The cursed descendants of the story's heroes are called [Demonic Possessions] in modern times.

After a few seconds of thinking, Leon decided in his heart.

(So when I'm "out and about" in the future, if I encounter someone with symptoms of demonic possession, I'll rescue them)

"Huh~ It's already getting dark. Nee-san, do you want to have dinner at my house tonight?"

"Yes, I do! Leon-chan always comes with lots of amazing and delicious dishes!"

"Haha, as long as you like it."

Leon smiled slightly.

It was just cooking that he had learned in his past life. Among the 13,810 books he read in his past life, there were several cooking recipes.

After enjoying dinner, Anis waved goodbye contentedly and took the carriage back to her palace.

"Rem's skills have improved again. Today's shrimp dumplings were delicious."

"As long as His Highness likes it."

After hearing Leon's praise, the blue-haired maid showed a happy expression.

"Your Highness, preparations for the bath..."

"Do it later, I'll go for a walk."

"...Oh yes."

Ram and Rem sighed helplessly.

They knew that no one could stop him from taking a "walk", but even though his Highness is very powerful, as his servants, they were worried.

And occasionally, Leon picks up a girl while 'walking' around.

"Are you going for a walk again? You're not going to pick up a girl again this time, are you?"

Just like this one.

Rem and Ram looked away.

A woman appeared there out of nowhere.

She has long green hair, golden eyes, a queenly face, a well-developed figure and... an indescribable charm.

"CC, you just woke up now, how can you still sleep at night? Don't avoid your work and rest voluntarily just because you are immortal."

"It's because I'm a strong-willed woman."

Instead of being embarrassed, the green-haired woman proudly lifted her chest. Then she took a slice of pizza from the plates that hadn't been cleared from the table and started eating.

"Why do you look so proud? Seriously..."

Leon looked at her with a complicated expression.

CC was a woman she met in the forest while hiking two years ago. At that time, the witch was being hunted.

Because she has the power of immortality.

This secret was discovered, and those who discovered it wanted to eat the witch's flesh and blood so that they too could gain the power of immortality.

Fortunately, they were all killed by Leon.

Immortality is the spark of contention in any world.

If Leon let her go, a world war might one day start because of her.

Initially, Leon wanted to kill her.

Sooner or later this world will be his.

And his world doesn't need the flames of war.

But unfortunately, the witch's immortality is real. Instead of killing CC, Leon was cursed by her.

A curse called "GEASS".

In desperation, Leon decided he couldn't leave this woman alone, so he took her back to his castle.

(She is a very dangerous woman. If she is left free and someone finds out about her immortality, the world will be filled with chaos and conflict centered on her)

After that.

The witch was taken by him and isolated in the castle. Leon also blocked all information about CC

If anyone knew that there was an immortal witch in the kingdom, soldiers from all over the world would gather to attack the kingdom and capture her.

Leon couldn't imagine what kind of disputes CC's curse of giving Geass to others would cause.

Because Geass is the king's curse.

Those who possess it will have the power of a king.

But normal people are not qualified to be kings.

The result will inevitably be a Geass out of control, causing great disputes and creating tragedies.

(Only I am the true king in this world. Only I can have this curse!)

That was Leon's arrogant statement.

As the king of this world, him alone having this power is enough!

And finally, this witch's appearance is extremely charming, which made Leon very excited. It's great to have a beautiful woman by his side to admire.

A/N: For those who don't know, CC is a character from Code Geass.
