…I won’t throw it away.

The flock he led had been turned into a military force and could no longer return to life in the wild. They needed the New Principality’s protection.

His responsibility for his flock’s survival? Or his sole source of tranquility in the world?

I’m making the right choice. Always.

Soup simmered with beans, wheat, and a variety of spices. Freshly smoked horse meat. Piping hot rice porridge. Raw vegetables in a fruit-and-honey dressing. And finally, white wine obtained from the faraway Itarky Highlands.

Taren the Punished was not at all the type of general who enjoyed the finer things in life, but when it came time to share a meal with her adopted daughter, she always made sure to prepare a repast more befitting her station.

Gourmet food was one of the joys Curte could still appreciate, even having lost her eyesight.

“And then…when Regnejee went to leave, his legs got caught on my shawl. Isn’t that awful? I mean, I couldn’t even see where it went. I spent so much time searching my room.”

“Quite a disaster indeed. It’s Regnejee, after all. I’m sure he was brazenly defiant about it all, too, yes? Just forgive him.”

“Oh, I know. Tee-hee.”

Taren carved up and distributed the smoked meat to Curte’s plate. Curte noticed and skillfully cut the serving with her fork and knife before bringing it to her mouth.

Taren didn’t particularly mean to dote on Curte, but whenever she watched the girl’s everyday behavior, her table etiquette, manner of walking, the way she went up and down the stairs or got into the bath, her heart filled with admiration.

Curte was a girl with an exceptional memory. When it came to memorizing and reproducing the things she was taught, it wasn’t an exaggeration to call her ability to absorb new information superhuman.

She had been able to recover from the True Demon King’s terror, debilitating her mind and body and throwing her into madness, to the degree she had due to this strength with which she was blessed, allowing her to reconstruct her daily life.

“……This is tasty.”

“I’m glad. Things are going well…”

A smile accompanied her brief reply. During the age of the True Demon King, when Taren was Curte’s age, she had already been a common soldier, fighting a war. The food rations were pitiful, and she remembered swearing to herself that if she ever gave birth to a child, she would make sure they never experienced such hunger. Her injuries in battle, however, meant this wish of hers could never be granted.

The era of war. The era of madness. Now, with the True Demon King gone, were the minia races finally free from such curses?

“Hey, Mom.”

“How many times have I told you? Don’t call me that. It’s rude to your real mother.”

“…Okay… I wanted to ask you not to make Regnejee do anything dangerous.”

“Well, given his duties, he’s always in danger. Is there something in particular that’s worrying you?”

“…Is war going to start again?”

“It looks likely. I’m a self-proclaimed Demon King. Aureatia’s…the kingdom’s never spared those who have declared themselves Demon King.
