Chapter 114 – Chapter 9 – Things to Cut
A middle-aged male demon who came in last. Warrior leader Heetari.
Maybe the most dangerous thing, taking on the back and scanning the surroundings.
His appearance, with a very firm expression, could be said to be an honest soldier if someone unfamiliar saw it.
In fact, Heetari was chosen by Yulia’s father, the previous demon king.
He was a person who had been with him from before, played the role of his own limbs, and even left his own family to remain by his side and ascended to the throne of the demon king alone.
It was said that he was famous for not having a personal conversation with anyone for more than 10 minutes in order to stand in the center of power.
There was no place to find fault with his past or conduct.
It was only this much, but not only Yulia, but also those around her, and even Klaus had no choice but to be fooled.
Little did he know that the one he thought would be the most loyal was actually the worst traitor.
“There is no sign of being followed behind.”
“Thank you very much, warrior commander. To be able to follow you without hesitation in such a firm matter.”
“This is the road for the sake of Your Highness the Demon King. Even if it is a thorny road, I will not hesitate.”
At Heetari’s answer, Chief Chamberlain Kalagool showed a thrilling look and a heartwarming smile.
Asmodians instinctively follow the stronger one.
For that reason, many of them deserted Yulia and went to her uncle.
Even though the possibility is very high because the demon king is a flower that has not fully bloomed yet.
They only followed what they saw right in front of them, and in the end they all broke away.
However, among them, Heetari kept her loyalty as a warrior commander and subordinate to the former king.
Even though he was still insignificant, he thoroughly guarded Yulia, who had nothing to say.
He was so devoted that he, the chamberlain, could be thought of as a great man even in his own eyes.
“It would have been much better if there were three more warrior-like people next to His Majesty the Demon King.”
“It’s too much praise, Chamberlain.”
Klaus, who had been sitting by the window and quietly listening to the sound, swallowed a sneer inside.
Unfortunately, even the chief chamberlain, who said he had a good eye for people, was being completely fooled.
That’s proof that the acting of that warrior commander is very great.
“We need more people like the Chief Chamberlain than me.”
Not a single voice changes, and he spits out such heinous words, but every time he hears them, the fire soars.
At first, I was a little curious about the reason, so I listened to the story for a while.
But after that, I just tore my mouth apart so that I couldn’t even say a word.
Then he gouged out his eyes, cut off his nose, and broke his fingers one by one.
He was a bastard he didn’t want to be remembered for, and wasn’t worth it.
I would have dreamed of a rare betrayal that would never be caught by someone else, and that happened.
The only problem was that Klaus was among those who suffered the betrayal.
“Two minutes, please. That’s not what’s important right now.”
It was Treasurer May Lore who stopped the praises of the Chief Chamberlain and the Warrior Chief.
With a very businesslike voice, wearing glasses and tying her hair, she was a typical career woman.
At first, I didn’t really like that stiff posture or voice.
He didn’t seem particularly loyal to Yulia, and it was all the more suspicious when he kept sending something everywhere.
It was only later that she found out that the letters were a conciliation from her local aristocrats to send taxes to the Devil’s Castle, but it was too late.
“I’m sorry, Treasurer May.”
“Don’t do anything to apologize. Warrior chief. And it’s Mayor. Please call me straight.”
Yeah, who wants to get close to that woman when she acts so coldly?
Even when I was suspicious, no one helped me and I was busy cutting my losses.
He was a talented person in the demonic family who quietly did what he had to do.
“Haha. Treasury Mayor. Don’t be too sharp. Isn’t the commander just wanting to get closer to the treasurer Mayor?”
“I’m sorry, but my work is more important to me.”
Now that I know everything, she’s a woman who really wants to focus only on my work.
If you watch her in a state of not knowing anything, she just looks like a person with something behind her back.
“Let’s start by confirming that His Highness the Demon King sent it. Even now, there are not one or two places where money goes. Hurry up before anything happens like this.”
At May Lore’s urging, the two men nodded as if they understood.
Klaus listened to their conversation until the end and then moved around following the three men and women.
“Welcome. It is a very beautiful starry night.”
“That’s right. But sometimes the weather suddenly turns cloudy.”
“… Oh my, then should I prepare an umbrella?”
“It should be done soon before the clouds gather.”
Those who exchange passwords as Yulia and Klaus informed them in advance.
When the presence of each other was clearly confirmed, the demon woman slightly lowered her head and said to wait here for a while and stepped back from her.
As the silence during her waiting lasted longer than expected, Heetari slipped her mouth open.
“It’s such a large amount of money that His Majesty the Demon King told me to come all the way here because it’s okay to empty the Castle.”
“You didn’t say anything in detail, but it will definitely be as much as you need for the Demon King’s Castle.”
“I don’t know if the demon king really knows how much money he needs per day. It’s definitely not an amount that the Demon King can raise in a month or so since he went to the academy.”
It was a mayrore that suddenly poured cold water on it.
Thanks to this, her collar goul’s expression hardens a little, and Heetari can only let out a puzzled laugh.
And Klaus giggled and bruised Treasurer Maylor.
‘It’s this woman. You might think that’s a rational and calm reaction to others, but in the eyes of others, it only seems like a chore. If I don’t fix that sharp personality, I’m a demon who’ll be in big trouble.’
While Klaus grumbled inwardly like that.
The demon woman who had disappeared has reappeared.
Five or six of them, all covered in hoods, followed, each carrying a rather heavy-looking pocket.
“Let’s check.”
Swish!-
Heetari, the commander of the warriors, when it comes to military force, and Kala Gul when it comes to the jjambab in the demon king family.
However, they stop them all and May Lore goes out again himself.
Although she thinks that as treasurer, the part about funds needs to be clear.
Whenever that happened, it was the appearance of an office worker who could not be loved by his superiors, colleagues, and subordinates at all.
“… Unbelievable.”
A really sincere admiration and an incredulous response flowed from Mayrore’s mouth.
If you consider that the treasurer’s usual words and actions are always cold and calm.
Her reaction was quite surprising.
“Treasurer Maylor?”
“Why is that?”
“… No, that’s nonsense This, this can come this much… What the hell?”
May Lore, unable to hear Carla Gul and Heetari, could only peer into her pockets and let out her exclamations of admiration.
In the end, the two men decided to find out the reason themselves, and soon they too had no choice but to react the same as the treasurer.
“Huh?”
“Chairman. Is this what I’m seeing right now? I guess this…”
“Platinum coins used in the East are correct. It goes in all these pockets.”
The demon woman opened her mouth with a voice that seemed to be subtly proud.
Reasonably, the largest unit in the East was this platinum coin.
It is said to be more precious than gold, and only a moderate number of nobles can touch it.
Platinum coins were piled up in his pocket.
‘Angelica is definitely resourceful.’
Tring-.
Klaus flicked the platinum coin on his finger.
Platinum coins are also used in the Western Union, but not as much as in the East.
If so, how could Angelica and the red tarantula collect all the platinum coins and deliver them like this?
Part of that is due to the demons who came to the West during the Continental War in the past.
Procurement of munitions is a basic part of war.
However, it can’t always be smooth, so I tried to buy the things I needed in the occupied area with money.
Since it is an occupied territory, you can just take it, but if you do that, it will be very difficult to comfort the public.
The demons refrained from plundering in order to turn the people of the occupied land to the demons side as much as possible at the news of victory bursting out here and there.
As part of that, some of the military funds were opened to cover the necessary items, and from there platinum coins from the eastern side spread all over the place.
‘After that, when the demons were driven out again and the alliance returned, they tried very hard to erase the traces of the demons. They demolished all the forts they built, and destroyed all their belongings.’
And among those things was a platinum coin.
But did he say that if he is a being with reason, he also has desire?
At first, it was regarded as an ominous thing because it was a product of the demons, but their craftsmanship and platinum, a rare item, overlapped, and at some point it became more expensive than platinum coins in the West.
In other words, those platinum coins that are highly prized even in the West.
The red tarantula came with a pouch full of the platinum coins, and several pouches as well.
They didn’t scrape together small amounts of change like copper coins or silver coins, but sent them very generously, as if to prove their power.
“… Treasurer?”
“With this amount, with this amount, you can fill up the leaking demon king. No, just fill it up? It’s enough to keep it full after that. How the hell did you get such a huge amount of money…”
They know that these funds were only raised by Julia.
It’s still a secret that he went under Yulia.
In addition, Klaus wanted to attribute this incident exclusively to Yulia’s performance.
Yulia protested against her saying that she couldn’t do that, but she convinced her that it was only natural that her servant’s performance was her king’s merit.
If Yulia obtained such a huge amount of money, of course the hearts of the loyalists would become stronger.
It would be enough to say later that Klaus actually helped me in this and that.
“We delivered exactly as we received the order. I would like you to double-check to avoid any misunderstandings, distinguished guests.”
“… Or is he well? How did you send so much money…”
As if concerned for her granddaughter, Carla Gul cautiously opens her mouth.
Of course, the Red Tarantula’s rule is never to talk about the client.
That’s why they only said that they were the lowest, that they were following orders.
“The nights are long, but there may be as many eyes as that, gentlemen.”
The demon woman said that if she received what she would receive, she should hurry up and leave.
It meant that if we were late for nothing and things broke out, we were both quite tired.
At that, Cala Gul nodded her head and told her to quickly pack these things and move to the hidden carriage.
‘… Shall we move slowly?’
The moment when Heetari and Maylorh start moving at the words of Khalagul.
All of a sudden, the flames in all directions are extinguished for an instant, and black darkness covers everyone.
– The skill, ‘Hypnotism’ has been activated. –
“Chief Chamberlain?”
In the darkness, May Lore opened her mouth with a slightly uneasy voice.
I can’t see anything, but this heavy pouch in her hand is all I can feel.
The moment I move my step thinking what the hell is this situation.
Took!-
“Ah!”
May Lore suddenly bumps into something and falls behind her.
At the same time, something flashed and appeared in front of her.
“Me, the warrior commander?”
“…”
Sreureung-.
At that moment, Mei Lore drew her sword with her greedy eyes and she was able to face her warrior chief, Heetari, approaching her.
‘It’s a fun time to play.’
He seemed to hear the Creator’s wicked laughter from somewhere.
