Chapter 245 – Chapter 23 – Back
It was absolutely not the first time I entered the room and did something dirty right away.
Of course, Natasha missed Klaus’ arms very much.
And Klaus also secretly wanted to hug Natasha, but both knew the order of things.
The most important thing in the current situation is to find out the situation in the West.
In particular, it was to figure out how the fairy society works and what kind of atmosphere it creates.
“The human side is a total mess. How about you, Natasha?”
“Fortunately, not as much as humans, but similar. There are those who sacrificed fairies, and there are those who became stronger through the sacrifice. It seems unavoidable. Because there can’t be only good people in the world all the time.”
“Still, I thought the fairy society would do a lot less.”
“I didn’t run away openly like the human aristocrats. Instead, they refrained from sending the children of powerful families to dangerous fronts, and instead put ordinary fairies. That’s why there were so many casualties in that generation. Fairies my age.”
“The voices of the survivors and the families of those killed must have been louder.”
“Yeah. I insisted on being designated as a hero of the fairy society forever with an appropriate reward.”
It is a natural result, a natural demand. This is the land they saved by shedding their blood and sacrificing their lives.
Those living in the land deserved to express their gratitude and give compensation.
However, there was also a type of fairy society that was not very different from the human side.
Because of them, they are wary of their firm authority being shaken.
Those who, by any chance, were extremely wary of voicing their voices, lest they digging into the events of the Continental War and revealing their corruption.
At first, I replied that I would know first, and that I would improve my treatment soon.
However, soon they suddenly changed their words and were prone to ignoring it, and the reason was so absurd.
“I never imagined they would use me to eat.”
“It must have been a good excuse. Klaus on the human side, who made the greatest achievement in the Continental War, is also silent, so why do you guys keep raising your voice because you haven’t been able to make that much credit? If you don’t want to be seen as embarrassing to humans, I’m telling you to wait.”
“Since they were fairies who didn’t want to show their ugly side to humans, they were persuaded by that ridiculous argument and kept silent. Seriously, I am dumbfounded even though I am saying this.”
Klaus laughed, and Natasha nodded as if she understood.
Humans are humans, fairies are fairies. Whenever it is said that it is impossible to even compare the two.
It became necessary, so suddenly people came out like that, but why are fairies like this?
What’s even funnier is that even the parties have fallen for the argument.
“Even that silence continued until a while ago, and in the situation of my departure, some families said that we should investigate the meritorious people on the fairy side again to see if there really was merit or not.”
“It kind of started a fire. And the fairies keep fighting until they are persuaded or defeated once an argument arises, so even now the atmosphere is not good.”
It can be said that the things that live for their good taste have something in common.
It does not have a typical black-and-white logic, a precondition of ‘You and I are different.’
I’m right and you’re wrong, I’m right and you’re wrong.
This was also one of the problems with the West that Klaus himself put in.
I still don’t know what the hell I was thinking, picking and choosing only the worst ones.
If I could go back to the past, if I could go back to the time when I was conceiving the world view of this world.
I’m sure Klaus would have yelled at him to joke around while slapping him on the cheek.
“In the meantime, Natasha, you are starting to stand out.”
“Actually, Klaus, it’s all thanks to you. After all, everything starts with money. With that, I bought the hearts of my own people, gained support, and finally started paying attention to me from my own family.”
A huge investment in the silver mine, and the owner’s position obtained in a situation where only the person was left.
In that silver mine, when she finally found a staggering amount of silver, Natasha, jokingly, became the richest person in the fairy world.
Natasha had very wisely spent her first gains there.
First and foremost, she gave to those who contributed to the Continental War, she said, in the manner of repaying her previous debts in the timely conflict.
Many families were surprised by his unconventional move.
Natasha’s consumption amounted to her family’s monthly consumption.
Of course, the popularity of ordinary fairies about Natasha was bound to soar, but in the meantime, Natasha was also clever enough not to have one side as her ally.
In public, she takes the form of distributing wealth to common fairies.
Privately, it was to establish contact with my family, Belarus, and other influential families.
“Of course, it would have been difficult with only money. Thanks to you for growing my magic. So, because the way my people look at me has changed, I was able to push harder accordingly.”
“I certainly have my virtue, but you also suffered a lot. So I think it would be more correct to say that the magic part is thanks to your efforts, not mine.”
Her humility, not humility, Natasha let out her giggles and she nodded her head in agreement.
Then, suddenly, he sighed, “Ah,” And his face hardened slightly.
Although he already knew the reason, Klaus pretended not to know anything and opened his mouth.
“Why is your expression like that? Is there any problem?”
“Because of the silver light. Exactly, it’s a matter of mining. At first, I thought it would be enough for our fairies to extend to part of the eastern border, but after a cursory investigation, it turned out that it might extend into human territory as well. I haven’t informed the humans yet, but soon they will notice.”
“It’s called an alliance, but they’re three races busy checking each other. If they knew that fact, they’d jump right in and acknowledge the mining rights, and they’d ask for a corresponding price.”
“And I will ask for the price I give to the East.”
“Isn’t it in order to figure out exactly how much it takes and then ask for it?”
“As you know, Klaus-sama, the human side will definitely compare with the East and come out like this. They wonder if it is a waste for them, who are neighbors, allies, and on the same side, while paying so much for those who were hostile not long ago.”
Of course it’s a waste, do you think humans will be allies with fairies for 1,000,000 years?
It is that alliance that can be broken at any time if it does not benefit each other.
Even the width of the silver mine is much wider on the eastern side.
No matter how much the human side investigates, it will be slightly less than half of the demons.
But if you still want the same price you gave to the East.
It just didn’t carry a knife, so you could call it a robber.
“It’s obvious if you don’t look. It’s urgent to put out the fire, so let’s turn internal dissatisfaction to the outside. And that’s not enough for the demons who resumed trade, so let’s give it to the fairy who found the silver mine and made her stomach ache. I would have thought so.”
Natasha sipped her portion of coffee, frowning.
Then, while drinking coffee made by Klaus for the first time in a while, he smiled happily and even started to show the image of a child saving a delicious drink.
Just ask for more rides, and doing that on purpose is cute, and doing it without knowing is even more cute.
“Natasha.”
“Yes, Klaus.”
“I don’t know if you’re already guessing. I have no attachments to the West.”
“Yes, I know.”
“And Julia is plotting the West for the East.”
“I know that too.”
“If you and I have to officially fight as enemies, what will you do then?”
“You’re thinking of surrendering to Klaus right away?”
It was Natasha who gave the answer right away without a second’s thought.
Well, it was so obvious that I didn’t expect another answer to come out.
However, the answer Klaus wanted was a little more detailed than this.
“Just in time, the current family head of Belarus said that he was going to point out the next family head. Natasha, you are in one of them too. If you are in charge of a huge family called Belarus…”
“Then I will surrender with all of Belarus. If that’s not possible, I might even give up my position as head of household and come back, Mr. Klaus.”
That’s gone too far, fairy. Klaus muttered to himself and shook his head.
It is necessary to highlight the sacrifice of the head of the family who has no choice but to surrender for the sake of the family’s safety and future, not as a traitor who sacrifices the family.
On the human side, there are Marquis Kienmeyer and many others, but on the fairy side, Natasha is all.
However, since that Natasha was holding a very large piece of meat called Belarus, she could say that even if she only took that one, it would be beneficial for herself and Yulia.
Klaus told Natasha what he thought.
No matter how strong the eastern power is, she herself leads it.
If everyone fights with the will to resist, conquest will never be achieved.
In order to prevent that, someone must form an atmosphere to stabilize and attract public sentiment in the land to go down.
If you resist to protect your pride, you will die meaninglessly.
I’d rather bend my pride and live as usual in a place where everything else is guaranteed.
“Maybe Yulia, so is the Demon King thinking of an autonomous district?”
“I’m not sure, but I think it might be. If you kill them all and take the empty land, is that a conquest? It’s just a massacre. Julia wants to unite West and East, and I want everyone to live well under her. So she left West and headed East.”
“You didn’t think there was anyone in the West who had the will or the ability to do it.”
Klaus nods his head to mean that he saw it correctly.
Then Natasha nodded her head following Klaus as if she understood everything and opened her mouth.
“Still in the fairy society, demons tend to stay away, so it’s hard to step forward. However, it is not that there is no way at all, so I will think of ways to alleviate that vigilance as much as possible.”
“If you pretend now, you pretend.”
“Whoop whoop. This way you can hold on to it a little longer. Klaus-sama will catch me at least once if I let her know that I am also a capable woman, even though I’m not as good as Her Highness the Demon King.”
It was also an eye worthy of one of the women Klaus chose.
At this level, it seems that she can safely entrust Belarus and the Fairy Society.
There is still time before the West and East go to war, so we can bring about small changes within it.
“Okay, so let’s leave the story like this…”
“Leave it… Yo? What’s next?”
“Why are you smiling while asking that question, Natasha?”
“I do not know. I think it might be the same reason as Klaus-sama.”
The two men and women, who stood up from their seats almost at the same time facing each other and smiling, were entangled as they were.
