Volume 6, Epilogue

This chapter is updated by wuxiaworld.eu

A few days after, my father stepped down from his position, making the castle run wildly.

In the meantime, we have informed all of the major personalities, but now we have to announce it to the whole nation.

I am still running in utter confusion in preparation for it.

The way father told me of my succession was abrupt, but it doesn’t work that way for the country.

All the masses, not only in the castle town but also all the villages of the country should be gathered to receive the news.

And that’s why, the people have been gathering here for the grand announcement.

Not all of them are attending, but the news has surely spread here and there.

Since there are no other princes, problems with inheritance won’t occur, but it’s better to finish this as soon as possible.

“So, what’s with these huge piles of documents?”

I was working in the new office.

There are huge stacks of papers before me.

And all of these papers require my approval to make my announcement!

“Please refrain from complaining, Allan-sama. This is the King’s work”

At the desk before me, Cecil is scrutinizing the documents in the same way.

Because I can’t keep up alone, she’s helping me out.

Moreover, double, no, triple of my speed at that, to the point where her pen is so fast it produces afterimages.

“But it’s been this since I became the king. My fingers hurt”

“But if we don’t finish it, we won’t be able to proceed with the announcement.”

“I know, but……this work seems to have no end”

I unwillingly arranged the documents in order.

Then, there was a knock on the door.

“Prince……no, Your Majesty, Can I enter?”

Fran’s voice was heard on the other side of the door.

Finally, my salvation as appeared in this paper hell!

“Sure, come on in”

I greeted with a smile.

After all, my work will pause when dealing with a customer.

Well, Fran is not a customer, but almost like a family now.

“Then, I’ll go in……”

“……Heave ho?”

I suddenly became anxious.

I clenched my lower back a little in vigilance.

“Looks like everyone is fine”

Fran finally came in.

And, in her hands held a bunch of new documents.

The problem is, she’s not the only one who has entered.

“Allan-kun, why do you look so serious?”

Effie came and stared at me, as if watching a rare animal.

“Onii-san, we have come to help you!”

Helena who had a hard time seeing me like this approached me in kind.

“After all, the work of a king is difficult”

Erune payed attention to the documents piled up in my desk.

“You’ve been absent for a very long time, it’s heavy for me you know?!”

Glinnis is still as energetic as ever, but I doubt if she’ll really help.

Then lastly……

“This is the weight of ruling a country. You should receive it well.”

Floating a bunch of documents with magic, Beatrice entered while carrying an amount for several people alone.

But the way she smiled at me is very sadistic.

“Lachmaheim has a tribal autonomy, so there are only a few works needed to be done at the central, but this place is really terrible”

“Y-you……”

She has just entered, but my patience burst the limits already.

“Yeah, I get it! I can do this! I don’t mind overworking myself to the limit!”

I am an elf with high physical capabilities, and the borderline of my fatigue is lower than humans.

But I think my mind will go crazy before my body.

I threw out the documents, left the room and head for the throne.

It is a very important room, so no one will come in thoughtlessly. I can take a rest for a while.

After a moment, Cecil and the others followed me and entered.

“Allan-sama, are you okay? Suddenly walking out like that”

Cecil asked me worriedly.

“I’m fine. I just want to take a break for a while. Sigh”

I took a deep breath.

“I’ve became the king and all, but I’m still bugged with too much paperwork…… I want to release all my stresses but…”

I sat on the throne.

The girls were then reflected in my eyes.

“……I see. Now is the good time”

As I looked at them, I came up with something.

“Allan-sama, is there a problem?”

“No, it’s just that something came out of my mind”

“……? If so, please say anything. We will help”

Cecil approached and asked my thoughts.

Yep, this place is perfect.

I pulled myself together, cut down the chase and faced Cecil.

“I know this is sudden but……Cecil, I need you, Marry me”

“Yes……W-what!?”

Cecil opened her eyes wide in surprise. Well, that’s expected.

“M, M-m-m-marry……”

“Cecil, are you alright?”

Her face turned red all of a sudden, as if catching fire. I became worried.

“Ara, what a way to propose in this kind of place”

Effie teased while looking at Cecil.

“Hey hey, why are you having fun in this kind of time?”

“Eh? That’s……”

“Effie, I want to marry you too”

“eh……t-that’s a bit surprising”

Her cheeks went cramped as she looked at me.

“I definitely told you to become my woman. You should have prepared for this, right?”

“Fufufu, well you aren’t wrong but……this development is really unexpected”

She’s still unable to react properly. Joy and confusion is still mixing up in her mind.

Its interesting to see how an older woman like Effie lose her composure.

“Of course, it’s not just the two of you. Fran, Helena, Erune, Glinnis and Beatrice”

I called their name in turns, and declared that I will marry all of them.

“I’m glad, your Majesty……No, Allan. This half elf will definitely show is devotion as a queen”

Then, Fran came to me first and kissed me.

The inferiority complex that was in her was long gone.

“Ah, Me too! I will do my best to become a good bride!”

Helena, with cheeks red dashed to me undauntedly, not to lose against Fran.

You don’t have to try your best too much or I’ll become idle, you know.

“It’s my outmost honor. From now on, my loyalty will only belong to Allan”

The knight Erune swore to me with a firm resolution.

Still, she’s unable to hide her red face. The gap between them is very cute.

“Is it really okay to take me as your bride? I’m going to squeeze you every day, so don’t wither to me okay? Ehehehehe!”

Glinnis accepted it with a high energy like usual.

Well, this will be hard, But she’s a firm person. I don’t have to worry about her cheating.

“You will be the first in history to propose to a Demon Lord. It’s an honor for me to marry you”

Beatrice declared with a proud attitude.

Yep, that’s a Demon Lord alright. At best, I have to be careful not to have a quarrel between the husband and the wife.

After that, Cecil has finally recovered from the confusion.

“A-Allan-sama……Are you serious? Everyone here, including me”

“Yes. Didn’t I promise you that you’ll become my queen?”

“That’s right……I’m sorry to have doubted you”

“Raise your head. This story does not end here”

All the girls’ eyes focused to what comes after the proposal.

“That father of mine gave me a wreck in receding the throne all of a sudden. In return, I will declare my marriage to all of you after I announced myself to the public. Fufufu, I can’t wait to see Father’s shocked face.”

“Sigh……Allan-sama……”

As if representing all their feelings, Cecil sighed to me.

“I’m serious here you know? With you supporting me, I’m going to pay him back”

“We understand. It’s bad, but we understand. Sigh……”

Cecil put on a facepalm.

“It’s already fine. Isn’t it? It’s my country now. Just let me feel selfish for a bit”

That said, I looked at the brides-to-be before my eyes.

“With this, let us start a new country. And in the most flashy way as possible!”

They answered my words with cheers.

Thus, my reign as the new king began.
