Chapter 16: Epilogue – Volume 1 - I Tried Entering Because
There Was a Hole
The one running while raising her voice is Lady Marilyn, the 103rd wife.
Her face is covered in graffiti made with paint extracted from a very foul-smelling flower.
"Seriously. Such a rascal, just like His Majesty!"
Laughing at her appearance is Lady Nina, the 8th wife.
A former adventurer herself, she has now become a complete courtier.
"It's futile to chase after him. He inherited his father's ability and can easily disappear."
Nina, who speaks with a know-it-all attitude, is unaware that a little mustache was drawn under her own nose.
Since then, the kingdom has prospered.
It's all thanks to the King's ability. The holes installed around the country instantly swallow up any born monsters.
The people were able to live in abundance without fear of the threat of monsters.
Furthermore, the sincerity and honesty of the people also contributed to the country's development.
In a world where there is no deceit or being deceived, everyone was able to walk in the same direction.
Except for the King and his children, that is.
"Excuse me, do you know where His Majesty is?"
It was Brandie who spoke to Nina. Searching for the king like this has become his daily routine.
King Elmich was always ready to abandon his duties and disappear.
"Well? Is he fooling around with someone again?"
Nina, who was initially angry at the King's womanizing, has now completely given up.
"Again? The harem is about to burst at the seams."
King Elmich, taking full advantage of his position, relentlessly charms women.
The result is the emergence of over a hundred consorts and children.
No matter how much they expand the palace for them, it quickly became insufficient.
"Even though we have become prosperous, the consorts and their children are pushing the finances to the brink of collapse."
"Bran, you never seem to have an easy time, do you?"
For Nina, who has completely given up thought it's already someone else's problem.
"I've said it many times, I'm Brandie."
"Well, it's fine as Bran. It's already become established."
King Elmich, who constantly calls him Bran, has caused it to completely permeate.
No matter how much he corrects himself, it's like pouring water on a burnt stone.
"I won't give up. I'll keep denying it no matter how many times."
With those words, Brandie left and disappeared somewhere. He headed towards a point where King Elmich is likely to appear.
"Well, well. So you finally came."
Emerging from behind a hanging scroll is King Elmich.
Slyly, he had been listening to their conversation.
The King had created multiple escape routes like this.
Not to prepare for enemy attacks, but to escape from Brandie.
"Enough already. Do you intend to pursue every woman in the country?"
Nina had already given up on the King's personality, but she worries about the heavily skewed ratio of unmarried men and women.
"Even if you say that, when there's a hole, you can't help but want to enter."
Everyone was just dumbfounded by the unkingly statement.
"Sooner or later, you'll be stabbed. When you're dead, I'll write those words on your tombstone."
"That would be appreciated. It's a shame I won't be able to see it with my own eyes."
"Ah! Your Majesty!", He raised his voice.
Brandie had thought that maybe he returned and looked over.
"Oh no! Wasn't he supposed to be gone?"
King Elmich desperately fleed.
It seems that today, too, this country is at peace.
"There Was a Hole So I Put It In"
