The Heavenly Demon Can’t Live a Normal Life

apologize, and if you release all of Kronos’s prisoners, the Kronos Empire will not make this incident an issue anymore.
That is your first option.
If you reject that, the second option would be an all-out war against Kronos.
Negotiations will not be allowed for the first ten days of the war.
Make your decision now.
If not, Kronos will declare war against the Cairo Kingdom.]

That was the end.
Baron Charlton cut off the communication without even listening to his answer.

Tuk.

At the Cairo Royal Palace, everyone was shocked after the meeting.
They were at a loss for words in response to what they had heard, and they were afraid to figure out how to accept this situation.

They were forced.
The Kronos Empire forced them to make a choice even after knowing they were in the wrong.

Simon said,

“Your Majesty, Your Highness.
The Kronos Empire is not making this offer to receive an apology right now.
Given Roman Dmitry’s ability in the war, it is clear that they intend to eliminate any potential threats against them in advance.”

They were sure of it.
Roman Dmitry was an existence beyond the fence of the kingdom.
Cairo, which had always been meek and displayed an attitude befitting a small country, took a different step than before with Roman Dmitry in the front.

Other than killing Gustavo, if the testimony from the battlefield reached the Kronos Empire, they would have been wary of the force Roman Dmitry had.

He was just in his mid-20s, yet Roman Dmitry was able to kill Gustavo.
He didn’t just win.
It was an overwhelming victory, and no one can really fathom how powerful Roman truly was.

An apology was just an excuse in this situation.
Daniel Cairo gritted his teeth at the blatant attitude of Kronos.

‘We are suffering this humiliation because we are a weak nation.’

His own father, the former King, wanted peace.
As he grew up watching that kind of person, Daniel Cairo inherited his father’s benevolence, but when he faced the cruel reality, he realized how irresponsible his father was.
As the King, he shouldn’t have done that.

If he faced a brutal situation against a predator like the Kronos Empire, he needed to have a strong national power to survive.
The problem was that it was too late.
Reality struck, and now the Kronos Empire is forcing them to make an unavoidable choice.

Everyone’s eyes were focused on Daniel Cairo.
In a situation where no one could give any advice except for Simon, Daniel Cairo said with a firm expression,

“Roman Dmitry is the Hero of Cairo.
He did things for Cairo, and that fact is known to all the people in Cairo, including those present here.
But what would happen if we abandoned such an existence just so we could live? We might be safe now, but that is all.
The Kronos Empire will use this incident as a chance to cut down on our ways to live, and no one else will be willing to sacrifice their life for us.
Because when the pillar called Roman Dmitry falls, Cairo is bound to collapse.”

It was a risky choice.
Kronos wasn’t the type of nation that says empty words, and they wouldn’t let go of their decision to go to war.

But in the future, in the new Cairo, there would be no fights within the nation, nor would there be any neglect of talented people dedicated to the nation.

Even if the result was their ruin, it was Daniel Cairo’s responsibility.
At least as the King of the Kingdom and as the person who allowed the decision to attack the Kronos Empire, Daniel Cairo didn’t avoid the responsibility.

“Summon Roman Dmitry right now.
I will discuss this matter with him directly.”

Two days later, Roman Dmitry arrived at the palace.
Daniel Cairo couldn’t even greet him properly.

“… that is how things turned out.
What should I do?”

He asked him honestly about Kronos’s offer.
In the situation where his brain couldn’t give him the right answer, he needed someone to say something to him.

And Roman Dmitry said,

“From now on, it is time for a new game.
The Kronos Empire is aware of the fact that their proposal is out of touch with common sense.
Nevertheless, their reason for forcing such a ridiculous choice is to deal with my existence and set the status of their empire right.
If you accept their proposal, the future in which Cairo becomes under the control of the Kronos Empire is unavoidable.”

“I don’t know what to do either.
However, we can’t just ignore the ones with power and move on.
Just like what you said, if Kronos wants to set the status of the empire right, they will want us to fulfill one of the options they have given.”

The first option couldn’t be considered, so they were left with the second option—an all-out war with Kronos.
Even assuming that Roman Dmitry was the best on the continent, there was no way they could defeat the empire with the power of Cairo alone.

Roman Dmitry.
From the moment he made the decision to attack first, he already knew the answer.

“There is a way to avoid war while taking advantage of me.
Please send an envoy to the Kronos Empire.
I will directly go to the empire and solve the problem.”

“I cannot allow that.
The Kronos Empire wants to punish you now.
And if you go there on your own, in the worst case, you could lose your life.”

Roman’s suggestion was too bold.
As he said, the problem could be solved, but it was impossible for them to let Roman Dmitry go.
It was an irresponsible decision that he didn’t want to make.

The responsibility for the decision should be shared, but Roman’s proposal was no different from making him take full responsibility.

It was at that moment that one of the people in the palace who was listening to their conversation stepped forward and said,

“Can I say something?”

“Yes.”

“Roman Dmitry knows how to solve the problem.
And Your Majesty considers it a risky choice for Roman Dmitry to visit the Kronos Empire.
Wouldn’t it be enough for someone else from Cairo to be the envoy to Kronos? If there is such a person who can perfectly implement your plan, I think it will be an optimal agreement.”

Roman Dmitry intended to execute the plan himself.
Just as Daniel Cairo took responsibility for the decision, Roman also had a different opinion.

But after confirming the voice of the owner, Roman knew that his words had power, and Daniel Cairo did as well.
He nodded his head to show his agreement.

“Count Fabius.
Does that mean you will go as the envoy to the Kronos Empire?”

“You are right.
I will represent Cairo and convey our intentions to that heinous Kronos Empire.”

The Raccoon of Cairo—he opened up a new path.
