I really don’t get it.

Why would the omniscient, all-powerful Shinou, choose that rookie to be Maou?

That guy not only lacks the grace and manner of a nobleman, he also hasn’t accomplished anything worthwhile on the battlefield.

He doesn’t even know how to use words full of authority to lead the people, to make the people fear and respect him, thereby obeying him.

No matter how we advise him, he still likes to play with the common children, even visiting the stables and the kitchen.

Brother and the other ministers don’t have any complaints against him-- instead they truly do like him.

But in my personal opinion, he isn’t at all suited to be king. If he wanted to be the ruler of a country as mighty as Shin Makoku, ruling over all the Mazoku of the world, forget a hundred years, even another two hundred years would be too early for him. Not only doesn’t he have the wits for the job, his level of maturity too is as childish as that of a newborn lamb.

Not too long ago someone who was uneasy about handing the kingdom over to that guy told me, “It seems that those who have inherited the blood of the previous monarch would be better suited to the throne…” And I had explained—At this time, it’s very important that everyone works together to support that wimp.

The other party must have misunderstood me, because he said simply “since even Your Excellence says so…” and left looking impressed. …Eh?

I really don’t get it… Yuuri! How many times have I told you, not to go out wandering the city without your guards?
