Chapter 160 – Chapter 13 – Seems Crazy
When the Continental War was in full swing in the past, the nobles who were wary of him had launched a political offensive using the rumor that Klaus had privately acquired gold and silver from the enemy.
Of course, no matter how much gold and silver there is in the middle of a war, it is not more valuable than a grain of rice.
The only evidence that could be said there was circumstantial evidence, and no one could prove that Klaus had a hand in that part.
Because of that, the problem was just used for military funds, and in this way it was buried in obscurity.
‘If they knew all of those things were true, the nobles would be very sorry.’
During the past 7 years, I wonder if even one piece of wealth came into my hands.
There were some that were confiscated for the purpose of military funds in the castle of the aristocrats who ran away, and some that were not taken care of.
Naturally, Klaus gulped them all down.
Of course, it’s not that I ate everything, but to a certain extent, in moderation as much as possible.
He was the one who knew from a long time ago that there was nothing more painful and unfair than that when he got sick from eating a lot.
After that, sometimes it was returned to the nobles, and at other times, it was used as a cost of a banquet to comfort the soldiers and the people of the kingdom.
He didn’t always use all of it like that, but steadily put his share aside.
If so, what did he do with those assets?
How did he keep it, if not with a bank and not buried in the ground?
‘There is only one way. Buying people with money ah… To be more precise, it should be said that it is holding people on a leash with money.’
Klaus released funds for the purpose of ‘support’ to those who were hit hard by the war.
Starting with a small and medium-sized upper class, they secretly infiltrated the society of fairies and beasts outside the frame of the kingdom.
They are just lucky at first! There were many cases where the money he received from doing so started with Klaus at the end of it.
In a good sense, it would be support and investment, but in the opposite way, it became a lifeline.
If Klaus suddenly hears that he is a traitor or a traitor in the hero of the continental war.
How will they be treated in their own society after they barely resurrected after receiving money from him?
So far, Klaus has not hinted at the nuance of pressing them to pay them separately.
So even when the nobles of the kingdom pressed him, they kept silent and watched the situation.
However, if Klaus notices it, if I make it clear that he will drag all of you into hell if I fail, I will have no choice but to move, whether I like it or not.
“Don’t worry about me, Yulia, you have to worry about yourself right now.”
“Oh…”
“Didn’t the report come up just yesterday? The Bedre Territory declared a Territory War on the Pine Territory side.”
Things in the East were progressing just fine.
The anti-demon lord faction judged this moment when the neutral faction wavered as the best time.
The scattered and broken neutral faction decided to eat them first before going over to the Demon Lord faction.
It’s the case anyway, they made it, so there’s nothing to worry about and nothing to hesitate about.
If you show the strength of the anti-demon lord faction, even if you join the demon lord faction for no reason, the feeling that you will not be able to handle the future will only become stronger, and the possibility of joining them will be greatly increased.
The East, which had been quiet for several years to recover after the Continental War, was suddenly shaken.
Perhaps even now, some neutrals will come to the Devil’s Castle after swearing an oath to be loyal to the Devil.
Conversely, some neutrals would visit Yulia’s uncle and say, ‘Your Highness the Demon King!’
“But why are you paying so much attention to that part?”
“Because I have to catch it.”
“Yeah?”
“Demand. A number of cases that would annoy the other person and make them lose their reason.”
Yulia blinked for a second, then responded that she couldn’t understand.
As a demon lord, it is obviously unpleasant for a battle between nobles to occur in the East.
However, it is an unwritten rule that even the demon king does not intervene in matters that occur between nobles and nobles, especially between territories, unless it is absolutely certain.
Territorial warfare is not just a massacre, but when one territory’s superiority is proven, the other side immediately requests surrender, and accordingly, either indemnity or mines or land.
In the worst case, the whole territory was given away, but it is true that such a thing was rare.
“I don’t know what you mean, Klaus. Do you want to get the count in the Yeongjijeon?”
“Isn’t it the demon king who bestowed each of his territories on nobles? And if a lord gives up the right to his territory, the land will naturally return to the king.”
“That’s true, but originally it was a land battle, so the winner got the loser’s…”
“That’s true, and although silence is the unwritten rule. Strictly speaking, in the end, wouldn’t it be right to ask the demon king for permission and politely ask him to acknowledge you?”
Only then did Julia know exactly what Klaus was talking about.
If this continues, only the power of the anti-demon king faction will grow, and more nobles from the neutral faction will be absorbed.
The uncle he knew was by no means the kind of clumsy person who moves easily.
Maybe until the best moment arrives, he’ll crouch down until the red flag he thinks he is.
Until that crouching was so threatening from Yulia’s point of view that she couldn’t stand by.
Until the moment when he can emphasize the fact that he is an uncle who holds tears against his nephew just to relieve this resentment by making the demon king draw his sword.
The damn man would wait and wait.
“They’re trying to get the swords drawn not only against neutral nobles, but also against my subjects and me. Klaus.”
“If the justification is taken away in an unfavorable situation, it cannot be returned. There are times when it can be quite useful even if you bring just one justification in an unfavorable situation. What’s more, the current situation is not so unfavorable, but if you can hold on to justification, there’s nothing better than that.”
At those words, Yulia smiled and nodded her head.
I never thought my uncle would hit him first.
I thought that since I was always at a disadvantage, it would also be me who felt nervous.
Now, on the contrary, the moment came when he was anxious about whether he should stand up or not.
“That’s what I’m saying, Yulia. Vacation will be quite busy.”
“… Probably so. After the Battle of Yeongji is over, time will pass while I grumble about the Yeongji from those who fall for me. Really, as you said, when the final exam is over, those who can’t stand it will have enough time to point their knives at me.”
Covering the corners of her mouth, Julia giggled as if she was looking forward to it.
The look is very attractive, but also gives a strangely cool feeling.
The feeling of being very satisfied with Klaus’s strategy, and the part that is very excited at the thought of giving the Mace of the Demon King to those who dare to point a knife at him is revealed.
Although she had been a woman who had suffered and suffered so much before that she had not developed her abilities in the slightest.
It is Yulia who met her creator and received everything promised and grew into a huge monster in an instant.
Until now, the demon lord’s spirit, which she had unknowingly suppressed, was being revealed little by little.
“In that sense, Klaus. It’s the weekend now, right?”
“Yes.”
“There is no Natasha, no Cecily, no Caella, and no strange new maid.”
“This is Planche. That maid name.”
“I am not interested. If I remember, I remember, or I’m just a maid. Doesn’t that mean I have to remember every single one of your maid names?”
His face is still smiling, but his eyes are not smiling.
Rather, it’s not cool, it’s frighteningly shiny, so it seems that there are a lot of complaints about the maid clinging to Klaus without knowing it.
“Kaela says yes. It’s just because he’s been following you for over 10 years. Just because I am, I’m not a demon king who is so narrow-minded that I can’t understand that much. But that maid is different, right? She’s a woman you don’t even know where she came from, but she keeps feeling oddly taken care of by you.”
“Kuhm.”
I wanted to deny it absolutely, but I couldn’t bear to do that.
It was because he knew very well that even if he said no in this situation, it would only further stimulate the demon king, who has the ability to shake even the creator.
“Honestly, if it weren’t for that maid, I would have come in before the exam.”
“Now that rumors have spread, there is no hesitation.”
“Yes? Now that it’s come to this, you want to spread rumors that you’re mine. So I want to get rid of all the eyes that are pouring on me and you, and I also think that I want to remember all the faces of those who curse at my man and take revenge later.”
For reference, Yulia has a history of taking off the skin of her enemy’s face and wrapping it in mud.
She watched it every morning and she kept setting her day and trying to keep her mind from wandering or something.
Although he had heard of licking her gallbladder and remembering his enemies, it was the first time he had seen Klaus here who would peel off the skin of her face and see it every morning and burn with resentment.
And, of course, she was far more terrified than licking her gallbladder.
“Do it.”
That fearful demon lord climbed on top of me again.
I hug the man I proclaimed to be my own, proudly claiming my ownership.
“Even the annoying maid. Oh sorry. Did you say flanche? Did you kick her out anyway? Now it’s just the two of us. Tomorrow is the weekend, a day off for you and me too. So just because you’re having fun all night doesn’t mean you’ll have a problem tomorrow.”
The woman’s whispering voice, her sweetly whispered words, could almost be said to be poison.
It’s lethal, inescapable, and most of all, it feels like your heart is pounding and hardening at some point.
She was more beautiful and fatal than any other woman in the world, and she knew her charms well and knew how to use them.
“As you said, I will be very busy soon. To the level that things up until now were nothing. So shouldn’t it be more like this? Don’t run away after you made me like this.”
“It’s a little unfair to say that only I am responsible.”
“Is it? Then do this, Klaus. Half of you are responsible for making me like this. Half the responsibility of the demon lord who goes over to you and insists on you like this. Since we are the same, let’s pay each other back. Little by little, little by little. Can we do this?”
Softly-.
He was obviously wearing a cadet uniform, which he did just a moment ago.
Also, the white jade-like skin of the demon king is revealed right in front of you, as if all the buttons were unbuttoned in a gap.
At the same time, the indescribable scent of a sweet woman bursts into her nose.
“The real Yulia, you know that it’s too much, right?”
It wasn’t a joke, it was a sincere complaint.
He is obviously the creator of this demon lord, but he is a deceased person who has repeated this world dozens of times.
How could he not be able to move in front of this woman he sees every time?
“I can’t help it. Because I want to have you You can’t get out of here, Klaus.”
The light of greed shone in the demon king’s red eyes.
“Forever.”
Burning Friday was just the beginning.
