Chapter 3. Trouble
“It seems the rumor is true.”
“What rumor?”
“The rumor that the Demon of the Skies has left the Kingdom of Sergio.”
“…What?”
The man’s hand, which had been busily moving his pen, came to a halt.
Ẇ е b́ ñov е̊l E n̆ ú m̃ a
“Is that really true?”
“Yes.”

“Hah….”
Rubbing his forehead, he recalled the past.
Although more than ten years had passed since the war ended, the abilities that demon had displayed were still vivid enough to appear in his dreams.
It was fortunate that he had been an ally. If he had been an enemy…
Е.n̄ u mа́. і̆d̀
Without exception.
That war would have ended in the defeat of their allied forces.
Feigning composure, he asked,
“Why did he leave?”

“They say he was dismissed.”
“What? Dismissed?”
E n_u ṁ а
“Yes.”
The man’s eyes widened.
“Go investigate again.”
“…I also found it hard to believe, so I investigated from multiple angles. But it appears to be true.”
“…The Demon of the Skies was truly dismissed?”
“That is correct. From what we hear, even the 42nd Combat Air Wing is on the verge of being disbanded….”

“….”
At a loss for words, the man stared blankly at the middle-aged man before him, his mouth hanging open.
Even the one delivering the report seemed equally dumbfounded, his face far removed from his usual calm expression.
After a brief silence—
“…The reason for the dismissal?”
The man finally spoke.
Е́ n u m̂ ӑ
“There is no officially confirmed cause yet, so this is merely speculative information….”
Finding even this hard to believe, the middle-aged man added a disclaimer before continuing.

The man braced himself as best he could.
For Daniel, a man who valued swift and accurate reports, to speak this cautiously meant that there was surely something utterly incomprehensible to ordinary people.
And then—
“It is said that the noble council demanded his dismissal.”
Ẁе̌b n̂.оv́е̂ l̇ .Ӗ ǹǔ m̌а̇
“…!”
He sprang to his feet.
If it had been anywhere else, perhaps. But for the noble council to demand his dismissal was impossible.
After all—

“Is not the Sergio noble council firmly controlled by the House of Duke Xavier? Then how did the dismissal motion pass?”
The head of the House of Duke Xavier had served as the supreme commander during the last Human–Demon War. There was no one who understood the Demon of the Skies’ capabilities better than he did.
Е̂ n u mа̊
Duke Xavier trusted and cherished the Demon of the Skies, and the Demon of the Skies had repaid that trust.
They were so close that among other nobles and officers, there were even whispers that the two might secretly be father and son.
Yet that very Duke Xavier had allowed the dismissal of the Demon of the Skies.
It was impossible to believe.
Daniel shook his head.
“It is true that the House of Duke Xavier passed the dismissal motion. However, the one who passed it was not the Duke Your Grace knows.”

“Then who was it?”
“The Duke Xavier you know is Duke Xavier Raonil, is he not?”
“That is right.”
“The current head of the House of Duke Xavier is a man named Xavier Henderson. He is Duke Raonil’s son.”
“…So that Henderson fellow passed the dismissal of the Demon of the Skies.”
“Yes.”
Е̊ñ u ma
The duke shook his head.
“How did they secure a majority? The nobles who participated in the last war would never agree to dismiss the Demon of the Skies.”

“…Over the past ten years, most high-ranking nobles have passed their positions on to their heirs.”
A generational shift.
Daniel continued.
“The new generation of nobles wishes to put the painful past behind them and open a new era of harmony for all, and they believe that the Demon of the Skies stands at the center of that painful past—”

“Nonsense!”
BANG!
The desk split cleanly in two.
His eyes burned red.

To call the hero who saved the nation a ‘painful past’?
Do they even understand who made their victory in the war possible?
Wĕ b nо̂vé l Е nu_m а́
Do they have any idea what would have happened if they had lost?
The pain of war is not something to erase.
It is something to engrave upon the heart, to temper the nation so that such a tragedy never happens again.
No matter how long peace has lasted, to grow this complacent.
A world where everyone lives in harmony?
The ideal is admirable.

But such words can only be spoken by a victorious nation, bloated from triumph.
What of the starving defeated nations?
They are surely sharpening their blades.
The duke grabbed a coat from the rack.
“Daniel, prepare yourself. I am going to request an audience with His Majesty at once.”
“Yes!”
