One stroke. Released from its position practically kissing the floor, Zaien swept sideways, cutting off the thing’s only leg. The blade’s momentum carried it straight through the wall, slicing into that as well as it made a complete circle. Losing its sole source of support, the creature’s right half collapsed right then and there—and then, it fell outside through the hole in the wall.

But I didn’t let that make me lose focus. I immediately spun around and saw that the left half had successfully been chopped into pieces like we’d planned. Several people lifted the parts and moved to different windows around the chamber. Then, everyone tossed their pieces out their windows, leaving only a few parts in the room itself. Though they tried to reconnect, their efforts were in vain. The bits wriggled around all squishy and gross-like, but little by little, their movements slowed down before finally stopping altogether. Wouldn’t even twitch.

Everyone was silent for a bit. Would the parts move again? Would they rejoin? Those thoughts running through all our minds, not a single person here, me included, sheathed their weapon. You could feel the tension in the room as we stared at the cuts of meat. After a while, I nodded and slowly lowered Zaien, my cherished sword. Watching me, Carlotta nodded as well, then looked around at every person here.

“My friends, victory is ours.”

“Yeeeeeaaaaahhhhh!!!”

The collective battle cry shook the whole room, echoing for quite some time.

“In summary, my son was...he was being controlled by...by a demon?”

Holy knights were rushing around the hall. They were from a reinforcement squadron sent separately by the Church, not Carlotta’s group. Right now, they were in the middle of cleaning up the aftermath of the battle. Their main responsibility was treating the wounded, followed by collecting any remaining pieces from the creature, and lastly, dealing with the soldiers who’d been supporting the prince.

Speaking of those guys, they’d stopped resisting altogether. Disarmed, they obediently obeyed the holy knights’ instructions. I suspected that they already understood that the cause of this incident wasn’t simply the prince being naughty.

In the center of all this was the king, his face blank with shock as he carried his unfortunately transformed son. The prince didn’t move while he was in his father’s arms. He was nothing more than a normal corpse now.

“Yeah, that’s the gist of it. Your boy was being manipulated by the demon that escaped.”

I spoke to the king while rejecting a nearby holy knight’s offer to use healing magic on me with an “I’m fine, thanks.”

“This... This whole time he...he was being controlled...?”

“Most likely.”

At my nod, the king murmured, “I see...” before looking back down at his son. Seeing their king like this, no one in here knew what to say to him.

As far as the prince’s soldiers went, they gazed at their former leader with mournful expressions, hands pressed to their hearts as they offered silent prayers.

From my perspective, I’d only thought of the prince as my enemy, the bona fide scum of the earth.
