Chapter 165 – Chapter 14 – Weekends Busier
“…”
“How are you, Yulia? What is it written on?”
Whatever it says, of course, reports about the battlefield will form the main.
Once the flames of doubt are kindled, it is very difficult to extinguish them.
When you can’t even imagine being a traitor, or when you have no corner to doubt, when suspicious parts start to emerge one by one, everything can become evidence from then on.
“It is about the warrior leader Heetari. As a result of very secretive snooping, it seems that his wife has been meeting with other noble wives from families belonging to the anti-demon lord faction on an irregular basis.”
“The time is too bad to think of it as just a social gathering.”
“Additionally, I don’t know what his intentions were. If there was a report, you might think it was to dig up information, but they said it wasn’t. Things I couldn’t see at first, once I started looking at them with a suspicious look, I keep seeing them little by little.”
“It would have been nice if I had been so suspicious from the beginning…”
“Because the actions of the warrior commander were so right. To be honest, I still can’t believe that he betrayed the demon king. Because when everyone left, he was the person who stayed by his father’s side until the end.”
The person who stayed by my side in a difficult situation heading towards the worst is more reassuring and grateful than anything else.
Yulia would have had no choice but to harbor such feelings towards the warrior commander.
Since the time of his father, a man who has remained firmly in his place despite all sorts of placations and has been silently doing his duty.
In this situation, who could easily doubt him?
Even Klaus has a history of being properly fooled by his acting.
Thanks to that, the episode went well, but then it fell, and the episode had to be repeated in anger and shame.
After that, Klaus always put Heetari, the warrior commander, in the first place to be eliminated.
I didn’t want to conciliate the reverse, nor did I want to make him a double spy and steal information.
I just intended to catch him, tear his family members limb from limb in front of him, and stomp them to death, making them cry out the name of Heetari in a grievous and miserable voice.
“Tell me not to push yourself too hard. Unless the warrior commander is an idiot, if he continues to look suspiciously at you, he might notice something and escape.”
“The chief chamberlain has already added details about that part. I only saw a sharp figure, so I could see that the warrior commander was cautious, so he said he would go back to his usual self. Even if it’s impossible to get information out of him, we have to stop the leakage of information from this side somehow.”
Julia talked about the funds that were passed on to the demon king family afterwards.
Currently, he is steadily building up preparations for battle, and in particular, he is in contact with neutral nobles who have newly sworn allegiance to the Demon King family.
She says that she especially trusts and relies on the aristocrats Klaus told her about, while releasing some of her funds.
She said, “I think I should go to Mawang Castle once. No matter how much orders are given from this side, it will be different from dealing with them face-to-face.”
“No, Yulia. If possible, stay away from the academy until final exams. Better to continue issuing orders like this from a distance instead.”
“Why?”
“For those who are loyal to you, it should be called a kind of mysticism. Planting something like that. Even if you give orders from afar, it will be much more stable if you show that you are perfectly protected and controlled by the remaining loyalists.”
After thinking for a while about Klaus’s words, Yulia refuted like this.
When the most powerful person is absent, there are often people who have other thoughts, but there are cases where it is like a warrior commander right away, so what are you going to do with that?
It was a reasonable refutation, but Klaus shook his head with a relaxed expression on his face.
Those who have already abandoned the ship of the neutral group and moved to another place have no more opportunity to change.
If you do that, you will be branded as someone who has no backbone and can’t be trusted.
Loyalists must have already been excited to hear that Yulia has passed on her funds and seems to have a pretty close relationship with Klaus at her academy.
That’s why I won’t do stupid things that suddenly catch the angle of the head.
‘Above all, I have no one to betray anymore. The battlefield was the last one.’
Klaus, who knew better than anyone else what was going on after that, dismissed Yulia’s worries at once.
That will never happen, so there’s nothing wrong with staying here.
“But…”
“Yulia needs to be here so your uncle can double her staff. I’m going to send my eyes and ears to this place, the Devil’s Castle, and all there to peek and overhear anything.”
“But… Under that man, there are people who focus on that kind of work.”
“Yes, and yesterday I killed them all a little far from the academy.”
What about Julia at Klaus’s words? She does and sheds her sighs.
The people she speaks of are members of a group called the Shadows.
It may lack combat power, but it was worthy of the name ‘Shadow’ for its stealth.
At what point did he step out of the academy and kill them all?
“No… Wasn’t the original weekend supposed to be resting?”
“For now, it is.”
“By the way, Klaus, you seem to be busier on the weekends.”
“What? Rather, the weekend I spent with Yulia was much busier for me.”
I was talking about the mad love affair that had taken place over the weekend not long ago.
When the time came to mind, Yulia had to shut her mouth and blush.
At the time, I liked it so much, and I was so excited that I madly jumped on top of Klaus and tried to suck every last drop of him.
It was such a time when her face was all hot when she remembered that time after such time had passed.
Julia is great! Hmm! And coughed several times.
At that time, it meant that we should keep the good memories in each other’s memories and not take them out.
Of course, Klaus had no intention of doing that.
“Why are you reacting like that? Maybe my technique wasn’t good enough? I’m sure I wanted to die at that time…”
“Aww! That, so! The corpses of those shadows must have been handled well. Klaus?”
“Nope. I just threw everything out there and came.”
“To? No no? Wait. You said you handled it quietly at best and didn’t clean up the body at all?”
Klaus nods her head, to which Yulia at first is dumbfounded.
Then she lashes out at Klaus, responding by asking why she made that decision.
If no news comes from them, surely my uncle will send the shadows again, and in that case, it would be like letting them know that they all suffered.
If I erased all traces of them, I could waste time looking for them, so why bother?
“No, Yulia. Rather, it is better this way. Originally, it would be right to take that method by getting rid of all of them, but not in the current situation.”
“Why?”
“I will continue to get on his nerves. In particular, he abruptly attacked the newly sent shadows, killed them all, and left the corpses behind. Your uncle knows you well and knows he’s not the type to make those decisions. That’s why you’ll wrap your head all the more, wondering if there’s another helper next to you.”
“You are…”
“To Julia, do I seem like the kind of man who would hide a dead body, or would he just leave it in the open? What do you think?”
“… The former.”
“Yeah. Your uncle will think so too. If you think there is another helper other than me, it will be even harder to touch you. In the end, those uncomfortable parts will bring the result of hastening the traitors inside who may be there.”
At Klaus’s words, Julia nodded her head with an ah.
Deliberately exposing this side’s power, then making the other person try to find out about it somehow, and sensing the shaking it creates.
In the end, only he could knock down the one who was standing firm and waiting for the right time, so he meant to shake his uncle in that way.
“… More than that, Klaus, if you weren’t here, there would have been uninvited guests around me again.”
“Is it just sticking? Considering what your uncle has done, he must have done more unpleasant things than that.”
Yulia gritted her teeth while nodding her head.
From now on, if you endure a little more, you will be able to launch a counterattack dagger at him.
Not long ago, it was considered impossible, but now it’s different, you can hit it beautifully.
I don’t even think that I might fail, I will win unconditionally.
“After the Battle of the Territory, when I hear the news that Lord Bedre confiscated all the domains of Lord Pine, I immediately fall over. After all, all the territories were bestowed by the royal family, so how could I plant a flag without saying a word and widely announce that it is mine in the East?”
“Afterwards, if a letter from Pine Manor officially requests the manor…”
“You procrastinate. Fortunately, the demon king is not in the demon castle, but in the academy here, so I can make it take twice as long. In that way, we will continue to stimulate the anti-demon lord faction.”
We have the advantage, the game is over when we stir a few times.
But if you keep provoking and arguing with them, there is no need to cower.
We’re going to bump into it anyway, so let’s just pick it up first, get up, and push it at once.
It was a sound to keep throwing burning firewood so that the anti-demon king faction would wake up with such thoughts.
As they thought, the anti-demon faction still has an overwhelming advantage.
Judging by the number and strength of the nobles who have joined, the Loyalists are still at a disadvantage.
The number of enlisted soldiers there is also showing a big difference, so anyone who sees it will say that the victory of the anti-demon king faction is much more likely.
Klaus planned to pour two lye in it.
One, as I said before, is that they first betrayed the ‘king’ and plotted treason, abandoning the natural duty of a subject called loyalty.
And the other was an internal collapse that instilled real doubt and made the oversized anti-demon king faction fall into its own hands.
“I plan to meet Cecily at lunchtime and have tea time. And very frankly.”
“Like. Do not hesitate to bring up sensitive topics so that rumors spread as much as possible. For example…”
“About the disposition of those who betrayed their masters. What should I do with this?”
“Very nice. It’s the most suitable story for those who need something to gossip about.”
“Anyway, that’s what I thought too. Ah! And, there’s one more thing. The fairies said they sent a letter about the development of a mine in the place where they and our eastern border meet, but I’m not sure. Above all, it was a place where it was judged that there were no good veins because the area had already developed several mines.”
At Yulia’s words, Klaus smiled and shook his head.
Until now, it would have been a place that was literally ‘bang’, but from now on, it was a place that really became El Dorado.
