Demon King of the Royal Class

In the deep of night, Charlotte retired to her bedroom, and I did the same.

Harriet, having fallen asleep while immersed in her research, was lying with her back against the headboard, a book still open in her lap.

I carefully placed the book back on the desk and gently repositioned Harriet so that she lay more comfortably. Sensing my touch, Harriet smiled in her sleep.

“Reinhart… cat… so… nice…” Harriet murmured as she slept.

“…”

Listening to her adorable sleep talk made me smile.

I fell into my own bed and prepared to sleep. I had given Airi the night off, so she would not be coming.

The thought of being the king of the world was something I hadn’t deeply considered. I didn’t know what to make of it, or how I would act.

The immediate issue was the assassination of Heinrich von Schwartz. It was a complicated issue to intervene in, and Charlotte’s opinion was that recruiting Heinrich was the best approach.

‘A method…’ I had a method known only to me. Though I rarely used it since the world seemed to conspire against me, the function still existed within the system. It was just that I couldn’t predict when or how it might backfire, and its reliability was questionable.

For the first time in a long while, I activated the Revise function.

‘The assassination of Heinrich von Schwartz would not occur.’

[Please specify the date range.]

‘A date range… Of course.’

If I used Revise in such a broad fashion, Heinrich would never ever face the threat of assassination. I needed to specify a timeframe.

I could prevent the assassination from occurring for a week, but then might happen the day right after that grace period...
