"I will definitely return this territory as it was..I swear on behalf of God, I'll make them pay for all this." Yusto took out his sword and cast his magic on his sword.
"This time is not enough just one.", Yusto took out another sword.Tech two swords that he rarely used.
"Yusto, would you like to use that technique?", asked Her Majesty the Queen who was already there.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will not let them die whole."

Episode 73
Currently, the army led by Lucas and the Crown Prince is superior to the army of Prince Arhen.The monsters created by the prince have been completely exterminated by Lucas alone, alone,there were only 2000 troops left from the beginning which numbered 6000 troops.The battle that took a lot of casualties, and the destruction that spread to the outer region of the palace really made a big loss.
The single battle between Vel and Prince Arhen was also still fiercely going on in the sky.In his human form, Vel could not use up to 50% of his strength, if he turned into a Deity form now, it would flatten 53% the entire empire and the other 30% of the territory that entered the impact radius.
Vel charged all out at Prince Arhen without the slightest pause.Prince Arhen's strength began to drain completely, as well as Vel who was getting tired.
"It looks like the war you made does not invite the attention of the 7 Great Gods, but it has been up to involve me and my brothers" said Vel.
"Indeed this battle should involve Gods like you?!I used this power to reach the throne I wanted! But you Gods entered into my plan and destroyed everything!", Prince Arhen replied full of overflowing emotions.
"DO WHAT YOU WANT!DO YOU THINK THAT BY OBTAINING A THRONE LIKE THIS THE EMPRESS WOULD BE PROUD?!WILL YOUR DESCENDANTS FLATTER YOU?!THINK OF THE FUTURE OF YOUR OWN DESCENDANTS!".
Prince Arhen was stunned to hear Vel's words.Why did he concern the descendants of Prince Arhen?.
"Why are you talking about descendants?!. I won't have-"
"Your son.living in a woman's womb".
Prince Arhen's chest as if pierced by a sword.He looked at Vel in disbelief.It is impossible that he made such a mistake..Arina.
"If you don't believe me it's up to me, I've checked Lady Fei and Lady Arina's condition, and that's the result..the child who is your flesh and blood will live a life full of regret for what his father and mother did." continued Vel.
"I'm going to kill him!I won't have any offspring until then!If I have any offspring, I'll kill him!" reply The Prince still did not believe Vel's words.
"Where is your conscience?!You can kill a child who is your own flesh and blood?!He wasn't even born into the world!."
"I DON'T CARE!!I WANT NOTHING BUT THE THRONE AND LILY!"
THE DUAR!!
"Take your word", Vel attacked Prince Arhen with one devastating attack, until Prince Arhen fell into another palace and destroyed it.
"You..-!Less aj-!"
"Arene!"
"?!"
A soft voice that called out his name.A familiar voice in his ears.The voice that always called out to him with warmth and affection.
"Mother..?"
"Arene!"
Empress Renata, no other and not not the birth mother of Prince Arhen tried to run up to Prince Arhen with his condition is very weak.
"Empress!It's dangerous!" behind him followed Bel and 2 personal servants of the Empress.
"Came?Why is there a consort here?!", asked Vel in wonder.
"Sorry Tristan!But you threw Prince Arhen into the Empress's palace yourself.Fortunately I managed to move the Empress just as she felt the power from you." replied Bel.
"Ah sorry, where is the Vedas?!", asked Vel again.
"She's on business with Ian and Lily, she's back soon." replied Bel.
Prince Arhen who was lying weakly in the ruins of the building could only stare at his mother who was walking towards him.His hand could not move, was very sick and weak.
"My son!" The Empress immediately hugged Prince Arhen while crying, she rubbed her horned son's head.
"Why is mom here..?here it is very dangerous", asked Prince Arhen with a very weak condition.
"What are you really doing?!why are you doing this far?!",
"I'm sorry mom.but I want to get the throne.that way, mom must be happy and proud of me.."
"Are you stupid?!Mother never pressured you to get the throne!.the throne can only make you hurt. As it is today.how can you see you hurt.only you are the only one that you have..".
Tears flowed more and more from the eyes of the Empress.However, when her heart saw her only son acting so far for the throne.
"Don't cry.I can't see mom crying like that.I'm sorry this son of yours.", Prince Arhen let out tears from his eyes.It's painful to see his mother cry.
'When I promised to make mom keep smiling softly. Now I made her cry.I was useless."
Soon Kel, Ian and Lily came with the Emperor.
"Prince."
The sound of pressing and cold.Voice that is very often heard by Prince Arhen from His Majesty.
"Baginda, I beg you not to press the prince like this!.The child has suffered enough!.", said the Empress to the Emperor who walked over to Prince Arhen.
"Empress, I'd like to speak to Prince Arhen as father and son."
"Dad and child?.are you kidding!?. During this time you just ignore it!you never gave her affection!.during this only I raised her!".
The Emperor sat next to the Empress, holding the hand of Prince Arhen who had changed like a demon.
"Prince, your reason is for the sake of bringing down the Crown Prince right? The boy had a lot of support, but not with you", said the Emperor in a gentle tone but still impressed firmly.
"Baginda herself asked them to support brother.you have no intention of making me Crown Prince." replied Prince Arhen a little annoyed.
"That's how the Crown Prince's ability is far superior to yours, he is also wise, decisive, and friendly to everyone, he deserves to be the successor to the throne.Different from you who are very gentle, weak, and afraid of the sword."
"I'm not afraid.I just don't want you to worry about me being this weak."
"You look so much like your mother, I actually love you as much as Felix."
"Lied."
"I know you won't believe me.But I did everything I could to keep you from participating in the inheritance war.You could get hurt and your mother would feel sad.. Your mother is my wife, just like the Queen, I love them both, just as I love you and Felix."
"You always talk about lies.."
The Emperor looked at Prince Arhen who turned his face away from the Emperor.The faint golden eyes looked extremely shiny, reminiscent of the Emperor to himself.
"Look at my eyes, son."
"..."
'Only now did he call me with such a gentle tone?..'
"Look at him once." said the Emperor sincerely.The Prince tried to look into the Emperor's eyes.
"Did you see a lie?", as the Prince's eyes widened.The loving eyes, sincere, no lie in those eyes.The golden eyes are very beautiful and shiny, as glittery as the Empress' eyes when looking at him.
"T-no.", replied the Prince a little stuttering.
"My son.mom hope you can freely enjoy the world without thinking about the palace, throne, honor and others.As long as you can be happy, mother will try to do it.", said the Empress to the Prince.
"I want to live alone with my mother everywhere, far away from this place.I don't want to be here", replied Prince Arhen.
Vel came down to approach the three of them.Watching the condition of Prince Arhen who was already severely injured.
"You have to bear the consequences of this mess, Prince.The death penalty will not be enough to pay for all this" he said.
"Who are you?" ask Empress.
"I'm sorry, but I can't reveal my identity. First of all, this curse must be lifted, Vedas can you?" vel answered and asked Kel.
"It will be difficult to do that, his body has been 93% cursed and that.There are only 2 options, kill him or ask the Demon King to pull it out directly, my strength will not be able to" replied Exod.
"Huh, that stupid thing." Vel shot the floor of the palace with his magic.A moment later a shadowy figure in the shape of a bald little boy with horns appeared next to Vel.
"Are you going to kill me?!"
"Whispering, if I kill you then the water source in Malterra Land will be poisonous."
"Let it be poisonous, then the elves, Dwarves and Dragons will die from dehydration."
"If you speak again I will have the 7 Great Gods seal you in torment."
"Cruelty.."
Everyone except the twins and Prince Arhen stared at the shadow in confusion.
"Vel, who is it?", asked Lily.
"Huh?oh, he's the Demon King." Vel replied calmly.
"YESY?!!"
The demon king who was in the shadow of the imperial confidences with a skull face, enormous horns, a tall body and long fingernails turned out to be just a bald little boy.
"This is not the original form.woi, change with the human form!", Vel asked the Demon King.
"No way!", the demon king refused outright and climbed into Vel's head, lying down like a hamster.
"He..So cute~~!!", said Lily and the servants who were amazed by the priesthood(?) Demon king above Vel's head.
"Huh.basasar.Oi! Unplug the curse on Prince Arhen, you went too far today!", Vel asked the Demon King to lift the curse, but he instead hung on Vel's tied hair.
"No want!He has to do it himself!", replied the Demon King who was cool playing with Vel's hair.
"How is it going?!You're a fool, aren't you?!", Vel is getting more emotional, but the Demon King still doesn't care.
"He must empty his mind and heart, basically the curse of the curse is getting stronger because of selfishness, and spite.He must eliminate it all" said the Demon King.
"Exposing hearts and minds." murmured Prince Arhen still confused.
"It is true, as the case happened to the Vedas.He is aware of the affection that is around him and the feeling of confidence that is interwoven between brothers.But he only hides, not uprooting it, but the concept is the same!" obviously the Demon King while eating Vel's hair.
"STOP PLAYING MY HAIR BALD BASE!!", Vel extended her hair longer than her body and tied the Demon Lord.
"Just unplug the curse and leave", Vel said annoyedly as he looked coldly at the Demon King's eyes.
"It's his own fault so do it yourself", replied the Demon Lord with a smile of the demon treasury.
"You..!"
"What?.will kill me?.."
Seriate...
