Demon King Reincarnation Chapter 19

“……I got it!”

While I was thinking about the revolutionaries, I came to a realization.

“The neighboring country…… The country where I crushed their prime minister, eh.”

There had been more weapons than commoners should have been able to obtain at their hideout. While I destroyed all those weapons with my own hands, there must have been someone with wealth and power behind those peasants. It’s impossible to believe that these commoners with no combat experience came up with these weapons all on their own. Someone must have instigated it just like the previous plot in the royal capital. After all, the military power in this country is entirely under state control.

That’s how I got my answer. Someone knowing the internal situation of this country must have incited them.

And right now, it’s probably the neighboring country that wants to crush us the most. Sujata…… They had also sent him to a.s.sa.s.sinate my mother.

I immediately headed for Sujata’s room.

“Brat! Oi, brat! Who asked you for an a.s.sa.s.sination from the neighboring country!?”

“-What! Just barging in without permission! The a.s.sa.s.sination…… It was the king!”

Mmm. So it was the king. Someone higher up than I had thought.

But, more importantly. Sujata seemed to be hiding a piece of paper on his desk. ……Hohoh?

“How capable. As expected of my older brother. You’re already exchanging sweet letters with that girl. It’ll only get harder, like sumo stamping. Be careful~”

“-It has nothing to do with you, and what’s sumo stamping anyways?”

I frowned and drew closer to Sujata.

“Oh? Are you denying that you’re exchanging sweet letters?”

“That’s wrong. You’re misunderstanding.”

“Fine, fine. It’s okay to hide it from me. With such a beauty like me as your adopted younger sister, your l.u.s.t must be exploding onto all the other girls.”

“That’ll never happen.”

I grabbed him against my chest and looked him in the eye, then I gracefully laughed and let him go. Naturally, it had almost seemed as if Sujata was pus.h.i.+ng me down. And so, I stroked Sujata’s neck.

“Living is such a wonderful thing. That was — so delicious.”

“–!?”

“Such a sweet feeling. Such wonderful, rare, tan skin. At first you had a smell unique to a.s.sa.s.sins, but now it’s mixed in with a n.o.ble smell as well.”

“-W, what……”

“Is it alright if I just have a little taste?”

Then, I was about to place my mouth on the nape of Sujata’s neck. Just as I was about to touch him.

 

Bang, the door opened.

“That’s ~ no ~ good ~? Siblings should get along and not~ cross a certain line! That’s what your mother says. Please obey that. Understand? Sujata, Rosewood.”

It was my current mother. Although she was smiling, she seemed scary.

“-Yes, mother.”

Sujata got away from me. Sujata is so obedient to my parents. He must be into mature ones.

“Ahh, that’s right, Riley was calling for you. It seems that Hendra-sama has been kidnapped. How scary.”

Huh. That country b.u.mpkin!?
