173 171 Beast King (1/2)
”You know how many nobles are gathering in Urmut right now?
”Mmm.”
In fact, I saw you on your way to the guild.
”There's someone in there.”
”A person?
”He's the Beast King.”
”Heh! That's the big guy coming this year.”
Elsa raised her voice in a heartfelt surprise. Apparently, you're a celebrity.
”Big guy?”
”Oh, Fran, you don't know much about the Beast King.”
”I only know his name”
I don't even know my name.
”If you're a beast, you should know more.”
The king of beasts, as his name suggests, is the king of the kingdom of beasts. The Beast King is the culmination of the Beastman tribe, and if he is not a people but a beastman, he pays homage to the Beast King, whose influence cannot be ignored by any nation.
The kingdom of the Beast Man is a country of other continents, but he is a friendly country with the Kingdom of Kranzel and comes every few years for goodwill purposes to the Wurmut militant tournament.
”It was more this year than that.”
”Something you don't want me to come to?
”Well, I have a lot of things, too. Besides, Fran's here this year.”
”Hmm?”
What's that supposed to mean? We've never met a monster king.
”In the first place, it was the Blue Cat tribe that enslaved the Black Cat tribe long ago, but there are actually rumors that the Beast King at the time was pulling the thread behind it. The Beast King is a lesson to be chosen from the Golden Lion, the evolutionary race of the Red Cat Nation, but the Blue Cat Nation seems to have been its subordinate.”
”Well, I didn't know that.”
”Well, it's black history. There's no such thing as aggressive talk in the Land of the Beasts.”
You didn't even know Fran. I'm listening to Diaz with a serious face.
”Of course, it was a long time ago that the Black Cat tribe was first enslaved, and the Beast King was so dead then. But there's talk that the Blue Cats are still connected to the Beast King.”
I mean, is it possible to say that it is the will of the Beast King to enslave the Black Cat Clan?
When you think about it, there is certainly that possibility. Even Earth has a history of policies that say that sacrificing vulnerable people to the slave and lower classes will dispel the grievances of the vast majority of people.
You can earn foreign currency if you enslave and sell off the Black Cat Nation, or you can create a more tragic existence to curb national dissatisfaction.
The Black Cat clan, who is said to be less combative and incapable of evolution, must have been a dressed race to sacrifice.
”Especially the contemporary Beast King, who has a very bad reputation. Anyway, close to the coup, he's the one who defeated the former king and took him to the throne.”
”Oh, I've heard that, too. Parental Killer”
”I don't think such a person would take a favorable attitude towards the Black Cat Clan. Rather, it is possible that the repression will intensify.”
That's too much information for us to overlook. In some cases, you have to be alert to all other beasts.
(Beast King...)
”What was that carriage earlier, maybe the Beast King was on it?
Reminds me of a luxurious carriage with a very strong beast man on the escort. The Beast King seems to be a lion, but the roof of the carriage contained a statue of a lion. That's likely to happen. That's a pain in the ass, not just in power, but in a combative sense. We haven't decided to be enemies, but I don't think we can fight them and win. The Beast King himself seems to be an evolutionary species.
(So... assassination?
