To summarize, the Hillrose family dukedom had originally been established to support the royal family. The older brother was the king, while the younger was a duke—it wasn’t uncommon to appoint trusted people into high positions to help run the kingdom.

Though Valschein was currently stable, when the kingdom was first founded, things were quite rocky. The administration was pretty much established, but right before they had an official ceremony to celebrate the founding of the kingdom, the Demon Lord, consumed by anger and resentment, manipulated a horde of animals into attacking Valschein. The first king was incredibly skilled when it came to battle if nothing else, so he was able to suppress the horde of monsters and seal away the Demon Lord.

A kingdom ruled by the hero that sealed away the Demon Lord—the king had obtained the ultimate legend for how the kingdom came to be, and he couldn’t not use it. Though, in reality, the Kingdom of Valschein was ready to fall apart at any moment.

“Was that because the first king was only skilled at fighting and nothing else?”

“That would be the natural conclusion to draw, but whoever wrote this didn’t think so.”

Oh, right. He suddenly just started explaining things so I didn’t think about it, but who wrote this book?

I continued reading. The author had deduced that the reason the kingdom was so unstable was because the Demon Lord was gone. There were more powerful noble families who were unhappy with the king than in the past. They’d first thought that the desires they’d been suppressing during the state of war were now exploding since things were peaceful, but they had been wrong.

When things were going smoothly, the powerful families all directed their dissatisfaction toward the Demon Lord, who was austere and couldn’t take a joke. The king would then, though haphazardly, come up with a compromise and make both parties accept the terms. The Demon Lord aided the king as his second in command by using fear behind the scenes. It was unclear whether the Demon Lord was doing this intentionally, but it was quite effective.

However, whoever wrote this text wasn’t able to use fear quite as well, so instead of having the people’s complaints directed at them, they decided to become a vehicle for those feelings. They would oppose the royal family on purpose and gather all the rebellious actors of the kingdom, making sure to keep them at an appropriate level of happy. Finally, once their despicable desires had piled up to the brim, they were going to get rid of all these rebellious actors, along with themselves.

“Was this written by...?”

“It’s exactly who you’re thinking.”

I remembered hearing this story somewhere. This was written by the first Duke Hillrose to outline the role of the Hillrose family. The Hillroses had stored, made copies, and passed down this book, and the successive dukes each fulfilled their duties.

That role had been continuously executed throughout generations, and as a result, Eleanora’s father carried out the final job, which led to the dukedom finally ending.
