Epilogue – The Second Generation Demon Lord
After Palmer was frozen in ice, Pierre, who became the next emperor, secretly brought out the gigantic frozen block of Ice-Palmer and threw it into a magma chamber deep underground, but the ice didn’t melt. The hero who possessed an anomalous amount of mana did everything in his power to squeeze out his mana, and considering that half-hearted power would lose against the energy generated by the magic bomb, Pierre also gave his all when activating the magic formation.
It had been fifteen years since Palmer united the continent. The news of his death had already spread to the majority of people, partly due to the power of propaganda from the newspapers and other media. It caused deep sorrow and anger among the people of Deal Empire. Pierre, who already reached the point of no return, chose the method he thought was the best out of what was depicted in Palmer’s will.
Palmer’s legal wife, Empress Burglinde, proceeded with some explanation. The hero of the Ray Kingdom killed Emperor Palmer, and Pierre killed the half-dead hero. The Ray Kingdom, which was at the end of the Deal Empire’s anger, was occupied by the Deal Empire’s army in just three days.
The southern continent, which was about twice as large as the northern continent unified by the Deal Empire, ended up unified by the Deal Empire in about a month. After the unification of the southern continent, many of the people living in the Northern Continent supported the next emperor, Pierre.
The major reason for the success of the succession of power was that all the dukes and counts who were formerly slaves were raised by Palmer and thus supported Pierre, too. Most of the former slaves were in their forties, and they also had young and talented children, so even if Palmer left center stage, the nation wouldn’t tilt.
On top of that, being Palmer’s child, who brought peace to the continent, Pierre also had a great influence. Palmer’s achievements brought together nations that alternated between peace and conflict in a short period of time, creating fifteen years of peace. It was greatly appreciated by older people, who had lived in the turmoils of war.
In addition, the children born within those fifteen years hadn’t directly felt Palmer’s vile conduct, so those people didn’t get to suffer, making the period of peace that shunned Palmer’s brutality forgotten even further.
As a result, only a few citizens who had relatives, parents, and children in the affected area continued with their grudges against Palmer, and since almost all of them were eliminated, Pierre, who had inherited a stable political base, led the empire to further prosperity.
With Palmer literally putting his life on the line, Emperor Pierre got to rule for a long time and passed on a more stable political base to his children. The Deal Empire prospered for a long time, ruling the northern continent for 350 years.
Author Note:
With this, the “So the Medieval Age Have Split Inheritance System… I Was Born As Third Son of a Duke Family, but I still get the Part of Territory as Inheritance. Not Only it’s not that big, my cheat-like Elder Brothers were also aiming for it, though” is completed. Thank you for all the likes, comments, and bookmarks. It is all thanks to you reader I managed to write it to completion.
Maybe I will write an extra chapter someday in the future, but just like the postscripts on my other works, maybe I will end up not writing anything, so please don’t expect much. Rather, I might not post another chapter in the end.
I’m a little tired now, so I’d like to take a short break and write a new work. I think it will be a story of a normal girl having fun in another world. I got the concept down, but I think the protagonist won’t be the strongest character, like in this story.
Once again, thank you, dear readers, for reading this far. I would be very happy if you gave likes at the end. I’m looking forward to seeing you again in the next work and other places. Thank you for everything so far.

And it finally ends! Well, it took me a while to get here. Anyone who accompanied me until it reached this point, thank you very much!
Well now, to be honest, I only translate this for completion’s sake since honestly, I love YEET Lady’s Lydia’s character, so I wanted to translate the prequel to grasp the world view, only to meet Palmer, which to be blunt, a villain type I don’t like. The order of the author’s writing is split inheritance system -> girl who harbors demon lord -> YEET Lady, although chronologically, YEET Lady is between the two. Maybe that’s why the writing wasn’t as good.
Honestly, I don’t enjoy this story that much. Palmer is too vile to my liking, unlike Lydia who could make me laugh due to how stupid it was. Most of the setting in this story did not get inherited in the later title, at most you could see the root reason why the goddess in Lydia’s timeline hated reincarnator so much, though we didn’t get to see her gone apeshit like in Lydia’s timeline. Well, considering there’s a gap of 300s years between Palmer to Lydia, it meant another story could be written between the timeline, something that the author has not yet written. Things unexplained, for example, why Deal Empire changed name into Klaus Kingdom? Why do humans there become demons? How does the goddess make a system for reincarnators to go there en masse and make them suffer as well? How did she descend for the first time and be sealed in the end? Many things left unanswered between the timeline.
Well then, as for the sequel written above, I dunno if I should translate it since the author left it on hiatus and it’s untouched for years while they instead concentrated on another work they wrote. I didn’t read those since other than YEET Lady, it doesn’t seem to be to my liking.
I guess that’s enough for my chatter. See you again in my other project!
