Chapter 168 – Chapter 15 – Step by Step
“Stop. I’ll stop here for today. Cecily.”
“Haha… More, can do more I have enough…”
“Nope. That’s enough. Resting is just as important as moving your body. If you push yourself too hard, everything you’ve accumulated up to this point could be lost, so listen carefully.”
Yulia says so while lightly retrieving her wooden sword.
Then Cecily, who had been breathing heavily, showed a look of thought for a moment, then finally nodded at him and slowly lowered the wooden sword.
“Originally, I was fast, but these days it feels like I’m learning faster. What do you think?”
“Ah… Well, I still don’t think it’s bad to sparring with Yulia like this.”
“But the gaze from the people around you won’t be good. The daughter of the Leblanc family, who keeps hanging out with the demon king. It’s too good a story to talk about, isn’t it?”
At that, Cecily responded with only two eyes blinking, not knowing how to respond.
As Yulia said, she is the daughter of the Les Blanc family, if she continues to be friendly with the demon king like this.
It was certain that her uncle, the lord my father followed, would find it strange, and the others next to him would also be suspicious of the Leblanc family.
Even so, Cecily did not want to be separated from Yulia.
Doesn’t she mean that if she distances herself from her, then naturally she can’t be close to Klaus anymore?
When she recalled her happiest moment not long ago while being bullied by him, she was still so excited and happy that her legs were shaking and her heart was beating like crazy.
She is the woman who stays closest to Klaus.
Being next to Lee, who was in the same place she did not dare to stand on her own.
Cecily was sure that that was the only way Klaus could be bullied to the fullest.
‘Right now, Natasha is also trying to get along with Yulia somehow.’
Klaus has joined hands with Julia, and he himself wants to be with Klaus.
If so, she herself must also be by Julia’s side, and in the end, the best choice for the Les Blancs family to also go under the command of the demon king Julia Agnesa.
Although some people say that I am an immature person who knows nothing about himself.
As the daughter of the Leblanc family, who is well known among the eastern demons, she knows nothing.
I know how the world of power works and how it works.
No matter how sympathetic she is to Julia, she is still a member of the Les Blancs family.
My father, the head of that place, swore allegiance to the man who was the uncle and nemesis of the Demon King Julia.
If that’s the case, it’s clear that everyone around Yulia, even Klaus, won’t be able to completely trust her.
She had to find a way, but there was no particularly sharp idea that came to mind.
‘My father will never betray the lord you have chosen, but… I do not care. He’ll make it somehow The LeBlanc family, if not, at least I would be by Klaus-sama’s side.’
So Cecily tried to be as close to Yulia as possible.
If that’s how Yulia’s uncle gets suspicious of my father and throws him out.
The LeBlanc family, who had lost their place to go, could conversely rejoin the Demon King family.
Although the likelihood of that was very small, it was the best option under the circumstances.
“Hmm.”
As Yulia looked at Cecily, she made an expression that she knew roughly what this woman was thinking.
Just looking at Klaus, he crosses her legs and doesn’t know what to do, just like a child falling in love for the first time.
In addition, it is not an exaggeration to say that her face reveals everything about what she is thinking and what emotions she is harboring as she cannot manage her expression at all.
Maybe it was because she lived a somewhat comfortable life as the youngest daughter of the Les Blancs family.
The magic part of her is so outstanding that the word genius is not enough, but the rest was average or less.
This was especially the case when I couldn’t hide my feelings or thoughts like that.
She is Yulia. If she can show what she is thinking even to herself, she has said everything.
“Cecily. Shall we talk for a minute?”
“Oh. Yes. You see.”
Two women sitting on a bench on one side of the arena.
While maintaining silence for a while, each other thinks about what to say to each other.
Then, unexpectedly, it was Cecily’s side, not Yulia’s, who spoke first.
“I wonder… Can I ask you something?”
“You can just ask. Did I tell you? I’m not the demon king here, I’m one of the students on the demon tribe like you.”
“I know. But, so I… Umm… You, so…”
“So what? Speak.”
“Uh, uh… Heh, even if I ask what kind of relationship he has with Professor Klaus…”
After all, this woman is also interested in my man.
No, she’s not on the level of interest, she’s just openly caring.
This is why having a popular guy is quite tiring.
Yulia let out a sigh inwardly, but on the outside, she opened her mouth as if it were nothing special.
“From now on, we decided to do everything together.”
“Four?! Hi! Whoops! Well, what did you say black! Me?!”
Cecily already knew that the relationship between Klaus and Julia was very close.
But I never expected that Yulia would openly say something like that, that she would do everything together.
At best, they are close friends, or they are getting to know each other little by little, I thought of an answer like this.
If you come out so hard from the beginning, you can’t even figure out what to do!
Apparently quite startled, Cecily kept hiccupping.
I’m not saying it’s nothing, I’m saying it’s not a big deal.
‘I really didn’t know you would say that! It was a pretty funny scene from Yulia’s point of view because the emotion of ‘this, what’s going on!’ Was revealed.
“It’s just like you said. Between a man and a woman, and between a king and his subjects.”
“Yeah, I guess the two of you had a relationship like that. Also…”
“Why? Are you worried? To you from the LeBlanc family, is this saying that the demon king and the demons of the south joined hands?
“Nope. I just… Joe, I’m a little envious…”
You said it yourself and ah! It was Cecily who let out her sigh and hurriedly shut her mouth.
It wasn’t that she was aiming for something, but that she couldn’t stand the feeling of genuine envy.
Even though she blamed herself for making a mistake in her words, she couldn’t help it. In her eyes looking at Yulia, ‘Demon King, you’re really amazing…’ I think I can feel the admiration of ‘.
Thanks to that, Yulia has all these childlike women, she thought, and burst into laughter.
When it comes to the LeBlanc family, I thought it was one of the most powerful families among the demon tribes in the eastern part of the country, but it was the worst place that pressured me by standing on the side of my uncle, not myself as the demon king.
Looking at the demons of Les Blancs like this, it seemed that the hostility he had until recently had softened considerably.
‘Klaus said that if his opponent is too strong, it’s best to go out in a way that strengthens one’s own strength while at the same time cutting down the opponent’s strength.’
Yulia looked at Cecily, who was sitting next to her and was watching her closely.
It doesn’t change that she belongs to the Les Blancs family, but it doesn’t mean she’s loyal to her uncle.
Rather, if you use Klaus and use it well, you can use it as your own person.
One of the goddamned uncle’s staunch supporters, the Leblanc family.
The youngest daughter of the head of the house, who is said to love the most, suddenly holds her hand with the demon king?
No, if you consider that she is not at the level of holding hands, but at least an oath of loyalty.
What would the other nobles under my uncle think?
And what kind of eyes would her own uncle send to the Les Blancs?
‘Klaus is my best weapon, but I can’t stop trusting him. That would be disrespectful to the man as well. He believed in me and came next to me, so I have to repay that trust. I can’t just be indebted to him forever and eat in his comfortable arms.’
Klaus may have started it, but he said he took the first step towards that path.
The one who has to walk that path is not him, but himself, the demon king Julia Agnesa.
Natasha Belarus and Cecily LeBlanc all came to her side because of Klaus, not herself.
Then, what he had to do was transform them into someone he could trust with his own ability.
And it was to keep them close to those who could act for themselves at any time.
‘As he said, I am the Demon King. His king, his lord, he has to show himself worthy of his position.’
Many demons refer to themselves as being lucky to meet their parents well.
So he had no ability, no talent, and even became a demon king in the body of a woman.
Even though it was a gossip that almost made the blood run backwards from Julia’s point of view.
Up until now, he had not been able to deny or refute a single refutation.
By the time I finally understood what was going on in the world, my uncle had already taken control of everything.
That’s why she says she hasn’t done anything up until now, but she doesn’t.
In addition to the loyal ones who had somehow supported him all along.
Don’t you have the best talent you can trust and sometimes lean on!
To live up to their expectations, to not feel sorry for them, you have to be completely different.
He made his father, the former demon king, and his uncle all his teachers.
Yulia decided once again that she would definitely become the best demon king in the East.
“Cecily. How are you?”
“Yeah?”
“Klaus, what is your relationship with that man?”
“Uh huh? I-I’m just a professor and a cadet!!”
“Really? Are you sure? Can you be sure?”
Cecily trembled as she asked, pushing her face lightly.
Even though she is a woman who has nothing to be admired by her Julia herself, seeing her honest reaction like this makes her smile even more, but somehow, for some reason, she thinks that she wants to make this woman her subject. Also costs
“Klaus is my man. He is my subject, he is my man.”
“Ahhh…”
“And your father, my uncle’s man, is a subject.”
“Yes Yes. Yes… ?”
“Then, if Cecily leaves her academy and goes back to the Les Blancs, you and Klaus will be enemies forever, until death. Because? My uncle and I are on both sides of a fight that will only end when one of us is defeated.”
This woman clearly has feelings for Klaus, and her feelings are so deep that she can’t even properly hide her feelings and is just revealing them.
In such a situation, she is not at ease with herself to the extent that she ignores it.
Now that this is the case, let’s keep this woman by Klaus’ side and make her his subject.
Let’s make it a card that can be used not only by her, but also by herself.
While thinking so, Yulia continued her words.
“So, how about doing this? Cecily LeBlanc, you too will become mine. You will become my servant. Just as Klaus did, so do you.”
