Chapter 393 – Subordination
Wolfgang quietly looked down at Ramiel.
“…”
“…”
Silence covered the darkness.
Any further conversation between the two was meaningless. Conversation is a means to communicate one another’s goals. Unless there is a point where both parties’ goals coincide, one side has no choice but to surrender to the other.
And, at this moment, it is Wolfgang who is in charge.
—Sweet
Wolfgang lifted his hand and stroked his chin. It was a long-standing habit of him to blurt out when something was bothering him.
No matter how much he thinks about it, there is no reason not to kill him.
Ramiel was full of disgust for Wolfgang. A cowardly and evil character, born with strength, but using it to persecute the weak. And even the pettiness of not admitting defeat.
This is literally the type of person he hates. No, it was a demon.
Enemies who did similar things were torn to death with his own hands, and even among his allies, if there was a person of that type, he personally stepped up and somehow got rid of them.
It is something that can never be mixed like water and oil.
In the past, I would have twisted his neck without hesitation, but…
Not anymore.
Before you can put your thoughts into action, you must go through an intermediate process. This was because Wolfgang had already become too high a person to simply act as he pleased.
Even when he was a knight commander, it was none other than Wolfgang himself who was responsible for his actions.
Now, it will be those around him, not him, who will be responsible for the aftermath of his actions. It is in the same context that he cannot hold the royal family responsible.
However, Wolfgang did not want to cause trouble to others for that reason. Isn’t that too cowardly?
What should I do with those demons?
I’ve been thinking about it for quite some time.
“General.”
Hume, who had been quietly watching the situation, suddenly spoke up.
Wolfgang then turned his head and looked at Hume as if he was puzzled. To be honest, I didn’t expect him to intervene.
The following article probably means that I didn’t just come to act as a guide.
“What’s going on?”
“In fact, the reason the imperial family summoned the general was to entirely delegate the disposition of the author to the general.”
Wolfgang was slightly startled by the words and actions that seemed to see right through his current worries. There was no sign of magical power or paranormal ability, which means that it was simply an action born of natural insight.
Wasn’t he just an ordinary guy?
He was not a person who could behave carelessly. Wolfgang turned his body around and looked Hume straight in the eye and asked again.
“What do you mean?”
“Her Royal Highness Princess Alicia, who holds the authority to dispose of the prisoner in question, spoke directly. “No matter what the general does with those demons, I will completely respect the general’s wishes.”
It was Hume who politely bowed his head and answered.
It was the moment when all the doubts Wolfgang had were answered. While he was resting quietly, I wondered why he had been summoned to the imperial dungeon. Wasn’t this more important than I thought?
“Also, she said that no matter what the outcome is, Her Royal Highness will take full responsibility for it.”
“… Is that so?”
Alicia has been too busy to care about this kind of thing lately.
After her engagement ceremony, dealing with the nobles who have expressed their renewed support for her and sorting out her strengths among them is not an easy task, no matter how good Alicia is at dealing with people. Br〉
Especially since there is a risk that the 1st or 2nd prince’s side will get mixed up.
That was also the reason why she couldn’t spend the first time in a while with Alicia. The battle for the throne had already come to an end a long time ago.
It is safe to say that their engagement ceremony was in fact a prelude.
Wolfgang had a greater influence than any other supporter just by staying still, but he couldn’t just relax forever.
Her husband can’t just ignore his wife’s work.
In other words, this was something Wolfgang had to deal with.
It is not a job as a soldier who goes on an external mission and cuts down enemies, but as the fiancé of the princess, it is a job to share her burden.
“As a subject of the imperial family, I will also fully follow the general’s wishes. No matter what happens here today, I will keep absolutely silent, and if help is needed, I will use my authority as Chamberlain to cooperate as much as possible.”
The imperial chamberlain.
When Hume finally revealed his identity, Wolfgang realized.
Like the imperial guards, those who serve the imperial family never bow their heads to others. That’s the same even if it’s in front of the duke. It goes without saying that it is even a greeting to the rank of a chamberlain.
The reason why such a person respects Wolfgang and obediently cooperates.
This means that Wolfgang is already in a position similar to that of the royal family.
Wolfgang, who realized his situation once again, raised his hand and pressed his forehead once again.
“Can you please give me just a moment?”
“Yes, as much as you want.”
This made his decision even more important.
As expected, I did well not to act hastily. Chamberlain is the most important position that influences all subjects who follow the imperial family’s orders.
To compare it to the military, it is one of the factors equivalent to the chief of staff of a unified command. What would have happened to Wolfgang’s reputation within the imperial family if he had shown a hasty attitude in front of such a person?
I didn’t want to cause any more unnecessary misunderstandings.
“Hmm.”
Wolfgang let out a short sigh.
This kind of worry was initially something that did not suit his temperament, but now that it has become unavoidable, there is nothing he can do about it. What I had to think about was how to deal with that demon woman to get the most benefit.
You can think of it as a kind of test.
To become a person who stands above others, strength alone is not enough. He must be able to make optimal decisions on his own.
Until now, I always had someone next to me to do my hair for me…
In the end, it was a situation that would come someday.
Wolfgang just found it annoying to think, but he was by no means stupid. The two were completely different. Wolfgang’s brain was soon able to come to one conclusion.
‘Killing is… It’s also inefficient.’
Wolfgang stretched out his hand toward Ramiel.
—Sch…
It was to make one thing clear. After being defeated in the last battle, Ramiel’s body became filled with Wolfgang’s magic.
Ramiel trembles as a large hand approaches.
“W-what… ?”
“Shut your mouth, demon. I did not allow you to speak.”
Wolfgang ignored Ramiel and brought his hand closer to her lower abdomen.
It was a place where Ramiel’s magic that resided in his body was embodied.
“Ugh… !”
Even if they are demons, their body structure is similar to that of humans.
Ramiel moaned involuntarily as the man’s hand suddenly approached her sensitive area. However, she did not resist.
—Badulbadeul…
She just turned her head to the side and trembled, as if she was afraid to make eye contact with him.
When Wolfgang’s hand, without any selfish intentions, carelessly stroked Ramiel’s lower abdomen, the expected reaction eventually appeared.
—Paaaaat!
The blasphemous pink pattern, which looked like a goat’s horn or a depiction of a woman’s uterus and ovaries, quickly turned black.
“Ah! Sigh… Haha… “
Then, a moan erupts even more violently.
Ramiel was sweating coldly from his forehead, gritting his teeth as if he was forcing himself to endure unbearable pain.
It was a phenomenon that appeared because someone else’s magical power, which should never have existed, tried to take control of her body.
“Just as expected.”
If you’re at Ramiel’s level, you should be able to immediately drive away impure magic power, but that symbol is preventing that.
Rather, he is trying to control Ramiel’s body according to Wolfgang’s wishes.
The load on her mana core is probably putting quite a strain on her body.
—Soak…
Ramiel’s body collapsed towards Wolfgang.
His pale, white face turns red, and he lets out a steady stream of excited breaths. Even though she was a demon, I could clearly feel her unique warm body temperature and soft skin as if she were a woman.
Rather, it only causes discomfort. Wolfgang warned in a cold voice.
“Didn’t I tell you to be quiet?”
“Ah… Eww… “
Even though she was a demon and an enemy who deserved to be torn to death, a provocative female body that I couldn’t help but be concerned about.
Her body, with its strong physical beauty and clear curves unique to a woman due to her training, was certainly worthy of Wolfgang’s aesthetic sense, which was heightened by having dazzling beauties as his lovers.
But to Wolfgang, it was a meaningless story.
‘Is it really me?’
As I vaguely felt, Ramiel’s life completely depends on Wolfgang.
Even if she doesn’t have to resort to clumsy means, she can definitely end her life whenever she wants.
What remained was how to use this demon.
