Chapter 335 – Extraversion 4. Eat
“…”
While drinking her cup of tea, Yulia was checking her papers in front of her.
It was still a huge amount of work, but at least this is much better.
She unified the continent and I can’t even tell you how busy she has been over the past few years.
She is the king of a country and the mother of a child, but she couldn’t even pay attention to my own child.
Thanks to that, her one and only daughter, she vomited a lot and fought a lot.
Fortunately, it could be said that it is much better now.
Smart-.
“Your majesty. I am the chamberlain.”
“Come in.”
After she gave her permission, a woman cautiously opened the door and stepped inside her.
A demon with her silver hair and purple eyes, which is hard to see.
It was Planche who started as her maid of honor and rose to the position of her chamberlain within a few years.
About her, some of her earlier words had come and gone.
It’s not another seat, it’s the chief chamberlain’s seat that guards the devil’s side.
It’s a little too much for her to entrust it to someone who doesn’t know where she’s been and what she’s been doing all this time.
However, Planche dispelled her doubts with her faithfulness to her position and overwhelming skill.
“I made a cup of tea.”
Even if it wasn’t, I was about to call someone over and ask for a cup of tea.
Planche didn’t ask for it, as if she felt it, but she brought it.
Could this be why Klaus asked this woman to be his maid?, She thought.
Yulia thanked her and began sipping the tea she offered her.
“What about Claudia?”
“He is taking a walk in the garden with Klaus-sama.”
“Yes. Come to think of it, she just returned from vacation.”
What was she doing during the month she gave herself?
Yulia wanted to ask that question right away, grabbing hold of Klaus.
Where she went and who she met, with whom she talked and what she did.
As the wife of a man and the lord of a subject, she wanted to ask unconditionally.
However, Julia did not call him on the day Klaus returned from vacation.
She only whispered softly as she hugged him, “Have you had a good rest the next day?”
She didn’t ask anything, she wanted to know, but she struggled to suppress it.
‘The more I try to hold it, the more it slips away.’
Was it because of her unfortunate childhood experiences, or was it because she was less immature?
It was her reassurance only when her own things were unconditionally held in her own hands.
Any attempt to get away with it was perceived as a betrayal of herself.
Let’s not do this, she said to herself a hundred times.
However, the betrayal she suffered from those close to her since childhood, her memories did not let go of Yulia.
I couldn’t help but feel that they were people who could leave if I didn’t hold on to them.
So, while she first met Klaus and got closer to him, her obsession and monopoly became stronger.
Even though I was convinced that this man couldn’t meet anyone better than himself.
Even though he became his father and herself a mother, and a very beautiful daughter was born between them.
Even though Klaus devotedly took care of him and followed him, he couldn’t easily calm down.
Only then was I able to calm my mind.
She still loves him and wants to keep him by his side, but she relents in wanting to hold all of him.
Someone reminded me that the more you cling to yourself, the easier it is for the other person’s heart to leave.
“Flanche.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“I really appreciate your advice last time. Thanks for helping me a lot.”
“It’s just an honor to say so.”
Only when you have time to relax can you truly show your best side.
Remembering what Planche had said, Yulia took another sip of tea.
“Is there anything else to report?”
“Two letters from Kienmeyer and three reports from the Red Tarantula.”
“Danell seems to have sent a letter of regards, and the red tarantula seems to have done one more thing in the meantime.”
“It seems so. Shall we go and get it right away?”
“No. If it was urgent, it would have been sent directly through Lire. I have a lot of work today, so I want to put that much off until tomorrow.”
“I understand, Your Majesty. I will do it if you do.”
There is silence for a while after that.
Because Julia was drinking tea, and because Planche was waiting for such a demon king.
There was no choice but to feel awkward when there were only the two of them and the natural silence.
“I’ve seen you for the past few days.”
After finally emptying the teacup, Yulia opens her mouth again.
“Klaus’s diet has decreased a lot.”
“… I knew.”
“Is there any problem? It would be nice if the meal was simply something I didn’t like.”
“The menu was not different from what you normally enjoy. The chef didn’t change and there were no issues with the ingredients or anything. I checked everything.”
“It’s very strange that the amount of food has decreased.”
This is a woman who cares about her husband’s health rather than her obsession with Klaus.
While repeating that to herself, Yulia secretly looked into Planche’s eyes.
She, too, had the air of sympathizing with her own concerns.
Yulia continued her words, convinced that thanks to her, she wasn’t being greedy or obsessive.
“Claudia kept clinging to him during her meals.”
She said, “She used to send her herds to be fed by the princess. However, Lily, her maid, cautioned her and Klaus-sama persuaded her that she should keep her princess body shape, so she won’t do that anymore.”
“The guy… When this mother gave me so much attention, she didn’t even seem to listen.”
Planche pondered for a moment at Yulia’s grumbling.
Maybe it’s because His Majesty the Demon King clung to him and asked Klaus to feed him too, I wonder if he should say something like that.
When a mother or father becomes a competitor to a child, there is nothing more tiring and difficult than that.
Yulia had such a strong desire to monopolize her man that she unconsciously tried to push away not only other women but also her daughter.
Fortunately for her, these days, that part has subsided a lot, so she didn’t comment.
“I think the fastest way is to ask directly.”
“I guess so. If not, planche. If you get a chance, ask me once. You are the chief chamberlain in charge of the family members of the demon king family, so it would not be rude to ask such a thing.”
“Your Majesty’s orders will be executed immediately.”
After answering that, Planche arranges the teacup.
If there is nothing more to say, he expressed his intention to leave.
Yulia, who had been watching the chief chamberlain’s actions, slowly opened her mouth.
“As a matter of fact.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“He took a vacation, so where did he go, what did he do, who he met. Roughly predictable. I wanted to see it for myself, but he tried hard to suppress it.”
“It was a wise choice.”
“Yes. It would be good for him and for other women. I won, at first I talked to those women like a benevolent demon king and burned my greed like this. I have no self-respect.”
“Klaus-sama is the companion of His Majesty the Demon King. Even giving him a day’s time is a great mercy and a great honor, so they won’t express their dissatisfaction separately.”
“How are you, Planche?”
Planche is slightly startled, unlike her, by Julia’s sudden burst of questions.
With what intentions and what kind of answer Yulia wanted, I could have guessed what she was saying.
“… I am just doing my part.”
“Aren’t you of the same mind as the other women and me? I want to be by his side Closer, warmer, more greedy.”
“…”
“Tell me honestly. This is an order, Planche.”
“It is.”
It was Planche who immediately expressed an affirmation to the command to answer.
Yulia smiled at him and leaned her body against her back.
“I don’t know about other women, but you must have suffered a lot more. Klaus is right next to me, and we bump into each other and talk every day, but we can’t do anything.”
“… I apologize.”
“What did I tell you to do just a moment ago?”
“I asked Klaus-sama to ask why he ate less.”
“Yes. Go there, ask the right questions today, and get the right answers. Because I am very curious.”
“Yes, I see…”
“I mean, do not choose any means and methods to come on your own, Planche. Do you understand?”
Say no to the means and methods.
At that, Planche looked at Yulia for a moment, asking if she was serious.
“I have met most of the other women, or I am going to see them. You won’t be able to afford it You’ll notice a little bit because of me. I’ll give you a justification, so this time I’ll close my eyes and move on, Planche.”
It was a kind of reward given to the chamberlain who served him with all his might.
