﻿\setgamedatatitle("Capital Luct=Lusario 1")

\text
――The capital, Lucto=RLusario is bathed in the vivid colors
of the setting sun.
\endtext

\text
The town, glowing in crimson light, is as beautiful as a
painting, captivating all who see it.
\endtext

\text
But in one corner of the city, darkness begins to spread
toward the royal palace.
\endtext

\text
With an ear-splitting roar, monsters emerging from
underground begin their march on the palace.
\endtext

\text("Rudol")
...Hmph. So they've finally come.
\endtext

\text
Hearing the distant roars of the monsters, Rudol mutters
bitterly.
\endtext

\text
Since the fall of Lebresque, Lusario has been preparing for
this very moment.
\endtext

\text
For Rudol, this battle is a fight for his very fate.
\endtext

\text
If he loses, it's hell―but if he wins, he will literally
have everything in his grasp at that moment.

\endtext

\text("Guard")
Report! The Demon Lord's army has begun advancing on the
palace... The defense force is in shambles!
\endtext

\text("Elder Retainer")
In shambles...? Impossible!
\endtext

\text("Guard")
They've even absorbed our city's captured defense force,
boosting their strength! If they keep advancing to the
palace...
\endtext

\text("Rudol")
...Return Tiela to her room.
\endtext

\text("Guard")
...Huh? But...
\endtext

\text("Rudol")
If she's in the dungeon, there's always a risk. It's safer
to keep her by my side.
\endtext

\text("Rudol")
(That woman still has her uses. I can't let the Demon Lord
have her.)
\endtext

\text("Guard")
...Understood.
\endtext

\text
Rudol knows this won't be easy.

\endtext

\text
That's exactly why he's tense―and why his heart races with
excitement.
\endtext

\text
The rush of emotion makes him feel truly alive.

\endtext

\text("Rudol")
(That's right... I'm not like those fools.)
\endtext

\text("Rudol")
Notify the palace soldiers. Tell them to prepare for battle
with the Demon Lord's army.
\endtext

\text("Retainer")
You can't be serious... Are you really going to fight them
head-on...?
\endtext

\text("Rudol")
Of course. I am the king of this country, am I not? It's
only natural to protect my nation and my people.
\endtext

\text("Retainer")
Protect the nation? You...?
\endtext

\text("Rudol")
Leave everything to me. I will bear all of Lusario on my
shoulders.
\endtext

\text("Elder Retainer")
Rudol...?
\endtext

\text("Guard")
T-the Demon Lord's army... The Demon Lord's army has broken
through the castle gates! Monsters are invading the grounds!

\endtext

\text("Rudol")
Oh...?
\endtext

\text("Rudol")
Engage the Demon Lord's army! Now is the time to show
Lusario's true strength!
\endtext

\text("Rudol")
Heh... Come, Demon Lord...! Entertain me!

\endtext

\text("Caym")
Fwahahaha! The time for hiding is over! Drag them out!


\endtext

\text
Monsters swarm through the castle gates, flung open by brute
force.
\endtext

\text
No matter how many arrows are fired or spells unleashed, the
monsters don't stop―their momentum is unstoppable.

\endtext

\text("Caym")
Whoever finds Tiela gets a reward!

\endtext

\text("Monsters")
Uoooooo!!
\endtext

\text("El")
Do you really want to see Tiela-sama that badly?

\endtext

\text("Caym")
Of course. I heard she's a fine woman.
\endtext

\text("El")
Eh... Does that mean, Caym-sama, you like Tiela-sama...?

\endtext

\text("Caym")
Once I rescue her, I'll fuck her womb raw in front of all my
subordinates. Just you wait...!

\endtext

\text("El")
...Maybe I picked the wrong person to ask for help...

\endtext

\text
El regrets it now, seeing Caym's savage grin.

\endtext

\text
But thinking about what's to come, it was only natural for
Caym to act this way.

\endtext

\text
If he gets his hands on the queen, one of his ambitions will
be fulfilled, bringing him a step closer to his ideal.
\endtext

\text
The thought of failure never even crosses his mind.

\endtext

\text
He is certain of victory in this battle.
\endtext

\text
For the Demon Lord, victory is simply a given.
