MaruMA:Volume 8 Prologue

Prologue

I simply cannot understand this. Why would our omniscient and almighty Original King choose such a wimp, this Yuuri, to be our King? He behaves not a bit like a nobleman. He has done no glorious deed on the battlefield. He neither finds kingly words to win his people's respect and admiration, nor carries an awe-inspiring appearance. Instead, he plays ball with civilian children and hangs out in the stable and the kitchen, everywhere. He does just what he wants, and I wonder why that is not an eyesore for my older brother and the other Lords. Personally, I think he doesn't have what it takes to fulfill the role of the Demon King. He has neither the sharp mind nor the experience to rule such a vast empire and command the whole demon tribe. He is still very young and immature, like a baby.

Just yesterday, someone expressed doubts about him as a king: "Wouldn't it be better for someone from the family of the previous queen to ascend to the throne?" I tried to explain to this man that our King is wimpy and that was why we must give him our full support. The man probably did not understand me, for he replied oddly puzzled, "If Your Excellency say so..." and left. Strange. As I said, I just cannot understand this... Yuuri! How many times do I have to tell you that you should not go to the city unaccompanied!
