Chapter 211 – 10-Nothing Goes as Planned. That’s Why It’s Fun! (4)
Grandpa, whom I hadn’t seen in a long time, was still correct.
According to the butler, he said that the smile never leaves his lips after hearing my performance.
“It’s finally back! The heir to our proud Shine family!”
“I’m back. Grandpa.”
My grandfather and I smiled and looked at each other.
In the grandfather’s eyes, pride, pride, and pleasure were mixed.
It’s not a laughing matter when you think of how the Shine family’s estate was destroyed in an instant, but compared to the achievements I’ve made, that level of terrorism is nothing to worry about.
And the Shine family is the strongest ducal family.
Even if a terrorist attack happens again, there are numerous troops and skilled people who can stop it, and worrying about this level is not an action befitting a proud and confident person from the Shine family.
My grandfather would grind his teeth at the terrorist and tell him to come back anytime for revenge.
However, the damage was the same, so my vassals, including my grandfather, did not bother to mention it, and I introduced the beautiful girl sitting next to me to create a good atmosphere.
“Grandpa. This is my concubine obtained after subjugating the Kingdom of Heisen.”
“Hello. She is Pelepon Ana, the daughter of the Pelopon family and the princess of the Heisen Kingdom. Please take good care of me.”
Ana next to me respectfully bowed her head and greeted her grandfather.
Her grandfather looked at Ana with interest and laughed heartily.
Haha! Is she the daughter of the Heisen Kingdom’s daughter who was famous for her beauty? She is more beautiful than I thought!”
“And she is called a kingdom, but since she is a princess by name, I think she fits well with Artel-sama.”
“Of course! If you are a member of the Artel family and my heir, the concubine must also be a woman of that rank.”
The eyes of the grandfather who said it was natural to the butler’s words were full of trust and trust in me and pride in the Shine family.
But I didn’t think her grandfather’s words were arrogant.
Considering the power of the Shine family and my current position, my grandfather’s words are never arrogant, but just the truth.
Knowing Anadoi vaguely, I wonder if she mentioned that she is a princess.
I thought so, and after seeing her Ana briefly, I brought up another topic to her grandfather.
“Grandpa. As you know, I will now go to war with the Zent Kingdom.”
“I know. The army is already prepared for you, so don’t worry.”
“Grandpa… What I want to say is not about the military, but about the future situation.”
In the future, I will directly use the power of the Shine family to manipulate the original work as I please.
In this process, you will gain enormous resources such as military, money, and territory as a benefit, not just consumption, but you need to prepare for this.
If it were my grandfather, he would easily raise the Shine family based on the benefits I would bring, of course.
That’s why I opened my mouth that I hadn’t opened to others.
At my sincere words, my grandfather’s expression changed to match the family head of the Shine family.
As if asking me to speak, the look on my face was full of grace and charisma.
This is the ruler of the Duke of Shine.
The air changed in an instant.
“…This is what you’re talking about… Let’s hear it.”
At my grandfather’s words, I smiled and said,
“Actually, the Zent kingdom won’t play a big role in the future situation. It will probably collapse soon.”
“Then do you intend to invade all three kingdoms?”
“That’s right. But in the end, a kingdom is just a kingdom. There is no big change. The changes I want to talk about are elves, beast races, asmodians and demons.”
“Suck!”
Grandpa gasped and crumpled his face.
In particular, in the part of demons and demons, even weak hostility was expressed.
Devils have not been well known until now, but they are recently known as ancient evils, and the demons are like enemies who have been fighting humans for a long time, so everyone in the empire hates these two.
As such, these two have a great influence on the future situation.
“I can’t predict exactly what the demon’s goal is. But I can guess. Perhaps the demons are targeting the poor and the underprivileged and increasing their power. Maybe small countries and kingdoms have already been eaten by demons.”
“Umm! That’s true. Considering the Certina family, that guess is reasonable. But since there’s no evidence, we can’t come forward…”
“No, we don’t have to step out.”
“…What do you mean by that?”
Grandpa with a bewildered expression as if asking what I was saying. Seeing that, I spoke calmly.
“Asmodians are our nemesis, but we have to compromise to some extent. No matter how much the warriors and enemies were the beginnings of the empire, they are also living beings. The rulers must have changed, and the nation’s system would have changed like we did.”
“Certainly that’s the case. But how are you going to compromise with the demons?”
“It’s simple. Let the warriors fight one-on-one with their king, the demon king. The biggest reason demons invade humans isn’t territory. It’s all about revenge for the warrior who defeated them. We’re using this. “
I unraveled the original setting.
I don’t know about other people, but I can trust my grandfather to some extent.
In fact, I did not ask or interrogate where I got the information from.
He just listened and believed me.
I told my grandfather’s plan before he said anything to drive a wedge into his faith.
“The current history can never defeat the demon lord. He will surely be killed by the demon lord. With this, the demons will achieve their long-cherished dream of defeating the hero.”
“But if the hero is defeated, there must be a possibility that humans will be in danger?”
“Don’t worry about that part. As your grandfather knows, the summoned hero is garbage itself. Even if such a hero loses to the devil, few people will be upset. Even more so, if there is an existence that is more trustworthy than a hero and is called a hero. You don’t have to worry.”
After I said this, my grandfather must have noticed what I was thinking.
“Grandpa. We will fight the demon king, become equal, and establish exchanges between the empire and the demon realm. With this, the Shine family will become even more powerful.”
Exchanges between the Demon Realm and the Empire. It sounds very blasphemous to hear, but if it was me who said it, the weight and meaning of the words change.
There are many variables because people are hostile to the demons, but if you sacrifice a warrior, you won’t be blindly hostile to the fear of war and the power of the demons.
Then we’ll go
“Umm…”
There are still many things that are lacking and need to be refined, but the probability of success is infinitely high as it is me who is doing it.
Grandpa knew this, so he thought deeply.
And the decision was quick.
“Okay. I’ll take a bet on your gamble. I’ll leave everything to you for this strategy.”
“Thank you, Grandpa.”
Grandpa finally came to me.
To be clear, it is not all-in because there is no quality risk even if we fail, but at the point of giving me all the authority, it is no different from an all-in.
And I was confident of making the gamble a success.
It should be easy to use as the opponent is a demon and the enemy hero is an idiot.
However, I got up because I needed to further flesh out and refine the plan.
First of all, I need to talk about the demon world and demons with Arnell, Mist, and Darkness.
“Then I’ll go first, Grandpa.”
“Yes. You may go… No. Before that, let me ask you one question. What are the demons going to do?”
Grandpa blocking my way, this time asking about the devil. I smiled cruelly at such a grandfather.
“Devils are surprisingly weak against holy power. And the Helios Church has also started to define demons as enemies. Perhaps the Helios Church will continue to fight the demons and eat themselves.”
“Why is that?”
“Considering the value of the name of the best protector of the empire and the demons who need sacrifices as if they directly deny the doctrine of life that the Helios Church values, it is easy to guess.”
The actions of the demons are worse than those of the demons.
If demons are themselves ‘enemies’ who look down on and trample on humans, demons are vicious beings who skillfully deceive and use humans.
Perhaps, demons are more suitable as enemies of the Helios Church than demons.
In fact, divine power is effective against demons.
And considering the saintess, the Helios Church will not compromise with reality.
Without knowing the subject, they would intervene here and there, injure their own bodies and destroy them.
We will use this and destroy the Helios Church.
“…I see. You intend to destroy the Helios Church.”
“Yes. That’s correct. I will destroy the Helios Church. Together with the hero. And I will destroy the demons as well. I don’t think the Helios Church will defeat the important demons though.”
I’ll probably have to deal with all the top level demons, or someone as strong will have to come and deal with them.
The Helios Church did not have the capacity to do that.
No. Will make me disappear
“…That’s your idea.”
“Oh! Did you read my thoughts?”
Haha. I just guessed what you were thinking.”
I don’t know if he actually read my thoughts, but my grandfather said with admiration, and I said goodbye to him and took Ana outside.
And at the same time as I left, my grandfather’s joyful laughter rang out.
