Use the power of the Demon King to destroy those reincarnated in another world

Chapter 398 Go to your country with the goal of quelling civil strife

Sieg immediately wrote to the king. The letter is about easing taxes and regulations in the territories.

However, the king's answer was "no problem".

Ziege communicated several times, but the outcome did not change. The same goes for the nobles. Their bad governance has not changed since ancient times. As a private citizen, there was nothing more Zig could do.

After careful consideration, he concluded that problems could only be solved through dialogue and that correspondence had its limitations.

Well, there is no choice but to talk to the king. At least with the current situation, nothing can be solved.

When his status improves and he becomes someone who can talk to the king, he will reopen the dialogue. This way, everything will be resolved quickly.

Within a few years, Sieg had risen to become a member of the King's direct guard. By this time, citizens were already dissatisfied with the long period of high taxes and revolted.

If the worst comes to worst, it will lead to civil unrest and the collapse of the country, and the status quo is unacceptable. With this in mind, Sieg requested an audience with the king.

His request was quickly granted, and Sieg was given the opportunity to speak with the king. Face to face, Zig explained to the king that civil strife would be unavoidable if the status quo was not changed, so for the sake of the country, one should stand with the people.

The king was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then replied: "Resisters should be killed." This is a ruthless statement of course.

Sieg stated excitedly, unable to hide his wavering. No matter how many times I say it, the answer is the same. The king repeated the same answer in a flat tone.

The last thing Sieg thought about was that this man was hopeless.

So, before Sieg noticed it, he had already drawn his sword. Facing the bewildered king, Sieg cut off his head without hesitation.

The sinner who killed the king. No matter how hard he struggled, he could not escape the fate of execution.

Knowing this and willing to do so, Sieg brandished his sword. The same guard knights came to subdue him, and even the nobles present were killed by him.

Thinking like this, even if he dropped the blood-stained sword on the ground, the knights still wouldn't move. Just as he was wondering, a knight approached him.

"Run away." The man who said this was the man who promoted Sieg to a knight.

"We were civilians. We used to feel like there was always someone who needed to do this. No one was going to think you did anything wrong."

The knights behind also nodded in agreement.

"We must capture you as a criminal in the future. However, we don't want you to have such a sad ending as a hero."

Sieg was surprised.

"So please run away. Get somewhere we can't reach."

After being half-forced out by them, Sieg escaped as the knights told him to. Don't know if this is the right choice.

However, like-minded people let him go.

So, all you can do is live up to this intention. The pursuers soon arrived, but Sieg continued to flee without killing anyone.

Even for Sieg, it became very difficult to just swipe his sword to drive away his pursuers. He was gradually exhausted, both physically and mentally.

Where should I go?

In his wavering thoughts, he decided to walk as far as possible towards the border and leave the country. After finally arriving at his destination, Sieg collapsed from exhaustion before the level.

When Sieg regained consciousness, he found himself locked in a cell within the level.

Although it is a neighboring country, he has committed a serious crime and I am afraid he will be forcibly deported back to his country. Due to exhaustion, Zig no longer has enough strength to escape from prison.

However, several days passed and no one gave him any orders. He was kept in a cell, fed, and had two guards at the door.

A few days later, a man came to his cell, named Walter Croesus.

According to the knight, he is an important figure in the empire.

"I heard that you are an unforgivable sinner." This was the first sentence Croesus spoke, with a gentle smile on his face.

Incredulousness, not mockery, not disgust, just pure kindness, confused Sieg.

"I have a question. Why did you kill the king?"

Perhaps for this reason, Sieg felt that he had to answer Croesus' question head-on.

Sieg slowly opened his lips: "The king implemented a bad government on the people. The long-term bad government aroused the resentment of the people, which eventually led to civil strife." He originally planned to speak in a low and young voice.

However, during the speech, his voice began to tremble, and the emotions welling up from his heart were evident.

"I wanted to stop this! No matter how many letters I wrote, it was meaningless, so I kept trying to talk and persuade! But the king has not changed! At least, he should show a face-to-face communication with the people!!"

"...So, did you kill the king?" Walter's calm voice spread, stopping Sieg's surge of emotions.

Zig gradually regained his composure: "Am I wrong..." He still lowered his head and said while hesitating.

Walter didn't answer the question. Instead he said, "There's something I have to teach you." Sieg raised his head.

"'Civil unrest' has broken out. Now, your country is in dire straits."

Sieg blinked in shock.

Then his lips began to tremble, "How could this happen..."

For what purpose did he commit the crime. Even if his hands were stained with darkness, the result would not change. Everything he did was meaningless.

His mind went blank and he couldn't think of anything. Then, unstoppable tears flowed out. His voice did not come out, only tears slid down his cheeks.

Seeing Sieg like this, Walter was surprised. He gradually narrowed his eyes and his expression gradually became sad: "That's it. You..."

His eyes were still sad, and his smile became gentle: "...are you crying for the country?"

Walter got the satisfaction of his soul, nodded several times, thought, and turned his eyes: "I think your country is stupid. A stupid king who cannot touch people's hearts was betrayed and killed by his subjects. This is not a joke."

His words were direct, no pun intended: "Please allow me, under the protection of the Empire, to make you realize the error of your ways. That's what I thought until I spoke to you."

Sieg frowned, and Walter explained: "I am going to your country now with the goal of quelling the civil strife."

"However, I changed my mind. If you want, we can go there together and listen to both sides. And after listening, consider which side to help." After saying that, Walter turned around.
