Chapter CLXXIX - Ending a War (part 2)

The sound of a male crotch being crushed as well as the floor was heard very loudly, that not even his screams can cover it. Everyone in the room was so horrified, that nobody dared to make a single move from how terrible that was.

I lifted my boots that were covered in blood and took a step forward, and I simply left him on the floor there, crying about his crotch.

"Jeruma!!!! Y-You...!!!"

I left Jeruma struggling on the ground while trying to hold the pain coming from his testicles as I turned my gaze back to the king.

"Those guys sent you a letter, requesting you to solve this peacefully. And you even apologized in the replying letter! How sweet! 

Only for the day after, you sent your military to capture all the villagers within that area as well as burning their villages down.

You think you are so smart for betraying, huh!? Well, I got news for you..."

VWOOSSHH!!!!

I dashed forward and arrived exactly in front of him. I released just enough amount of pressure to keep him pressured and conscious.

It's merely half than a percent, he is really weak. But, it was enough to make him sweat this bad.

He stared at me, through the holes in the mask and saw my glowing red eyes. I stared sharply, releasing all of my anger and rage that has been held back this whole time.

"Just a single one of these things in the list you failed to do, then I will destroy everything and everyone that you loved… and I know… Oh… I know exactly how much you value your life.

Do you… understand?"

The king nodded really slightly, and I leaped back to where I was.

"Good! Then I guess we have reached an agreement!"

I turned around and walked back to the elevator.

Everything was silent as I made my way inside the elevator room, and everyone was only staring at me with worry.

Once I'm inside, I turned my gaze back.

"Oh, and one more thing."

I turned back and gazed towards the king again, this time I released even more pressure.

"Everything in that list… has to happen."

VWOOOMMM!!!!

PRAANGG!!

I said that with a really cold tone while releasing more pressure. The glasses behind him exploded due to the pressure, and some of the people in the room even fell unconscious. 

At least now, it was branded to his brain that he needed to do all of those things that were written on the paper.

I waved my hand as the elevator's door was closing.

The king immediately lost all of his energy and he fell down, all the way rolling down the stairs. His wives quickly approached to help, while his other two sons ran towards Jeruma to check on him.

The king slowly moved into a sitting position as he wiped the sweat from his head. He then glared at the list on his hand, and he let out a sigh.

"Looks like… this is the end of Veldonia..."

.

.

" 'First, Veldonia will release every single war prisoner. All the prisoners you people owned and kept in your dungeons will be released, and will be sent back to their homes.

You will also release the citizens you have wrongfully captured. For reasons like rebelling to the government, women taken to be raped, and men forced to die in the war. You are obligated to give them compensation for all the problems you have done, and they have the right to ask for more from you if they think it is not enough.

Second, Veldonia will put an end to this ridiculous war between them and Mazino.

The Veldonia kingdom will also send help for the continental war between the joined alliance and the demon kingdom in the form of food and money. We do not trust you, so you don't need to send in troops for battle.

Third, the engagement between Princess Lescia from Mazino and Prince Jeruma from Veldonia will be cancelled… "Duh…-"?

Erm. Fourth, You, the king of Veldonia, will change the governmental system of the kingdom and change it into a republic, where the leaders are chosen by the citizens of the country themselves.

Fifth, You, the king of Veldonia, will begin as the first leader of the Veldonian republic and will step down next year, exactly on this date. And then the leadership will be continued by the next leader chosen by the citizens of the Veldonian Republic themselves, and you have no right to meddle in.'

… Okay… not only did you write this with your terrible handwriting… but you also used some really terrible choice of words. 

Like seriously, 'We do not trust you, so you don't need to send in troops for battle'. That felt very straightforward. And using something like 'Duh~ ' ??? For an official ultimatum letter, that part was just..."

"Okay, okay! I get it, I am a terrible black mailer, a terrible letter writer, and a terrible hero. 

Get. It."

Lescia smacked me in the shoulder really hard while laughing, and I had to rub it and return her with the 'seriously?' gaze.

It is now afternoon, and the two of us are sitting on the top of the hill from before while everyone else under the hill is celebrating. The war was just announced to be cancelled with the Veldonians giving up, and the knights can go back to their homes without having to risk their lives in a war.

It was all thanks to the Masked Devil. He solely took down all the level 1 rankers and all the other rankers in the kingdom, and then he made a deal with the king. Included in the deal, is the stop of this ridiculous war. 

"Why didn't you do this from the beginning?"

Lescia turned to me, and I shrugged the back of my head.

"Well I had... multiple reasons. One being that I am lazy as hell, and the other being that I don't want to endanger the villagers."

"Hmm... I agree with both of them."

"Y-You don't have to agree on the first one..."

"Nope. I agree completely."

This time, I smacked her shoulder. But just not as hard as she did at me, that one really hurts.

"So, what now?"

She asked, but I simply removed the hair in my face. I moved in and kissed her on the cheek, and then I stood up.

"Now, we went back to our daily life...!"

I said as I stretched. My body felt quite rusty somehow. Probably because I sat down for too long after beating up Veldonia.

Realizing that I somehow kissed her on the cheek, she quickly stood up immediately and moved towards my face. I lifted my hand and stopped her face from crashing with mine.

"Wow, hang on there, girl."

"I want more."

"C-Calm down, you don't have to be that hungry--"

"Still not fair!"

She kept on trying to capture me, but I dodged easily every time. She turned from kissing to punching, and finally kicking.

Is she trying to kiss me or is she trying to beat me up!?

…

Ah… someone is here…
