Chapter 1682 The Aftermath 3
When Shin was talking with his grandparents, August also reported what had happened to the academy to his father, the king of the Earlshide Kingdom, Diseum von Earlshide.
Diseum listened to his son's report about Kurt, after all, his son's safety was in danger, and the demon's appearance brought some trauma to everyone in this kingdom. After all, for once, this kingdom had almost been destroyed by a devil.
Diseum listened to August's story quietly about when August and his friends were suddenly being attacked by Kurt, Kurt became a devil, then the fight between Kurt and Shin, and how Kurt suddenly fell on his own.
Even though August didn't want to, he also explained how Haru used magic to erase the fire magic from Kurt, who had become a devil.
Then lastly, August explained how Kurt was defeated.
"I'm not sure how Kurt was defeated since I'm quite far away, but I saw Kurt falling on his own." The source of this content is novelenglish.net . Fɪre
August didn't understand what had happened. After all, he didn't have knowledge about the modern world, so he believed that Kurt had fallen on his own. After all, he didn't really want to admit that Haru was the one who defeated it. He then looked at his father and asked, "Father, what will happen to Kurt?

After all, there were still many people who remembered the terror of the devil, which was why no one hesitated and directly killed Kurt when Kurt hadn't regained consciousness. After all, no one really knew what would happen after Kurt had woken up, it was great that Kurt had passed out, and they used that chance to kill him immediately.
It might sound ridiculous, but it was normal for the people in the medieval age to end the source of trouble as soon as possible, after all, no one thought that there was someone who would create an artificial devil, and as a king, even though, he might have a good ability to govern a country, his knowledge about the demon, devil, and magic was limited. He was also quite old, so he didn't have any motivation to learn a new thing.
"…" August was in silence, and his expression was slightly pale, but he didn't say much since he also understood that a demon, no, a devil shouldn't exist in this world and it was a normal thing to do, after all, everything was for the safety of their kingdom.
"But, is Kasugano what you have said before really powerful?" Diseum asked, after all, if he also knew Haru's name, but as a king, he needed to show his position, he was a king of the Earlshide Kingdom, and if he came to Haru's house, then where was his face, or rather the prestige of this kingdom might lose.
"I'm not sure, but Shin should be more powerful," August said. After all, even though he hated to admit it, he knew that Haru was more powerful than him, but he didn't believe that Haru was more powerful than Shin, which was why when he recalled what had happened during Kurt's attack, he felt very frustrated at how weak he was.
Diseum became interested in Haru, but he also knew that he had done something wrong to Haru. After all, during the entrance speech, he had taken Haru's position to give the speech to his son. However, it was still necessary or else. His kingdom would lose its prestige in front of the Els.
Even though the relationship between the Earlshide Kingdom and the Els was relatively mild and had a lot of cooperation with the Els, both were still from different countries. Of course, they had always been very wary of each other. "But Aug, what do you think of Kasugano?"
August thought for a while and said, "I hate him." It was his true feeling since he felt very useless when he was compared to him, which was why he didn't like him. He was also being teased several times by Haru, which made him feel uncomfortable with him.
"August, as someone who will become the king of this country, you have failed if you have made a decision based on your subjection," Diseum said and raised his voice, after all, if he knew that if he let his son, like this, then there would be a lot of trouble for this country in the future.
August was startled because he didn't expect to be reprimanded, so he quickly apologized. "I'm sorry, father."
"It's good to know, but tell me, what do you think of Kasugano?" Diseum asked.
"I feel like he has always treated me like a child," August said while gritting his teeth.
Diseum nodded and said, "Yes, he can become a member of the council and become one of the richest men on this continent from such a young age. I can see why he sees you as a child." He also knew that his son also viewed Haru as his rival or something, but it was good since someone who was grown in a well-protected place wouldn't become a great king, so having one or two rivals was necessary to promote his son's growth.
"Father!" August was speechless when he saw his father praised Haru.
"You don't need to deny it. It is also the reason why you have always wanted to compete with him, right?" Diseum said.
"…"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSeeing his son in silence, Disuem didn't say much, but at the same time, he thought that Haru was more powerful than he had thought, but he didn't fear him, and he also believed in his son. "Well, enough sulking, and I'm going to ask you, what do you think that we should do with Shin and Kasugano?" After all, both Shin and Haru had protected the school from the devil, even though it was only a moment, so the kingdom should give an appropriate response to both of them.
"I think we should give them a medal, after all, because they have protected this country," August said without hesitation. He was young, and he was still full of ideas where he believed that everyone could understand each other as long as they talked, but…
Diseum shook his head and said, "No, this time, we'll put all the feat of killing the devil to the army."
"What?!" August was in shock.
Diseum looked at his son and said, "I know that you're dissatisfied, but you also know that we have made this underhanded move when I tell you to give a speech on the academy, but you should understand that we should put the interest of kingdom above everything." If everyone saw the one who slain the devil was either Haru or Shin, then he would give either of them a medal without hesitation, but they only caught Kurt, and the rest was something that the army did, which was why he couldn't give them something that they normally would receive.
August clenched his fist and couldn't accept it for a while.
"Which is why you should tell both of them that we, the royalty, will give both Shin Wolford and Kasugano Haruka a lot of rewards, whether it is money or land, as long as they have protected this kingdom. From the devil." Diseum looked at August and asked, "So can I leave this to you, August?"
"Yes." August nodded, after all, that as a prince and soon-to-be-king, he should put the kingdom's interest above everything, but at the same time, he felt quite disappointed at his father, but he didn't say anything and left after their talk.
Diseum looked at August's back and could only shake his head, hoping August could grow up quickly so August could change his position since becoming a king was more tired than he had thought. He stood up, walked toward the window, and looked in the direction of the Bluesphere Empire with a complicated gaze.
