Chapter 193 – Chapter 18 – A New Wind
Again, again -.
The sound of shoes resonates resonantly in the great palace inside the castle.
A woman who has entered near the center with an appropriately graceful gait stops at a certain point.
She then, very politely, she prostrates herself and salutes the demon king who sits on her throne.
“Meet Your Highness the Demon King.”
“…”
The scene where a maid came into the Daejeon and had an audience with the demon king was quite different.
All those who work inside the castle are under the orders of Chief Chamberlain Kala Gul.
So, if you have something to tell them, it’s right to go down through the collar.
Now, this scene could have been something that others in the castle could not understand.
“Maid Planche.”
At Yulia’s call, Planche lifts her head slightly, flashing silver hair.
After she gave her permission to look at herself, she raised her head straight up.
“What happened to the order I gave you?”
“According to the order of His Highness the Demon King, all of them were summarily disposed of. It was cleaned very cleanly and neatly as Your Highness ordered, without any witnesses and without any leaks.”
Still polite and friendly voice.
However, Yulia somehow felt a cool anticipation emanating from it.
Since she wasn’t directed at herself, she didn’t really say anything, but since she wasn’t someone else and she was just a maid with that kind of momentum, she was quite unfamiliar and worried.
If Planche hadn’t been her maid under Klaus, she might have been suspicious of her and investigated her back.
“According to Klaus, they are everything. By any chance, when you checked, weren’t there other liaisons besides them?”
“When I checked, they were everything. It seems that the number has been reduced because it is difficult to maintain security if too many people are operated, and there is a risk of being stepped on.”
“Yes… ?”
Even talking was hard to see as a maid.
Doesn’t that look like someone who has quite a skilled experience in a place like this?
Yulia couldn’t figure out why a woman of that caliber was working as a maid.
“She struggled,” She said. Made Planche. He took care of things without anyone in the castle.”
“It is overrated. I just faithfully followed the part ordered by His Majesty the Demon King.”
I couldn’t find a single hint of provocation or bumping into them before.
The only thing Planche could see now was the maid serving the demon lord with her extremely polite attitude.
Julia looked at Planche like that and then said that she could leave.
At that moment, Planche politely bowed her back, and she was just about to back away from her.
As if remembering something about her, Yulia called her over.
“Maid Planche.”
“Did you call, Your Highness the Demon King?”
“… Admit it.”
At Julia’s sudden words, Planche asked what she meant.
Are you asking because you know, or because you really don’t know?
Unable to understand that, Yulia grumbled inside herself, but she pretended not to mind and said her words properly.
“It means you are taking credit for this work.”
“That word…”
“It means that you allow Klaus, my Klaus, to do a little bit of things other than maid duties.”
At those words, Planche blinked for a moment, then smiled at the corner of his mouth.
Yulia salivated at that laugh, which even felt dizzying energy, and Klau applauded inwardly, saying that he was as good as a passing maid.
“I don’t know what to do with the grace of Your Majesty the Heavenly King. Thank you, Your Highness the Demon King.”
“… Instead, only when Klaus is relaxed. If I come across something that interferes with his work, I will withdraw immediately, so know that.”
It seems he was trying to say, be careful, or whatever, that man is mine.
Planche just smiled as if he was fine with that part.
She said as if she was happy that Julia had praised her for her achievements and showed it to Klaus, who was standing next to her.
In the end, as soon as Planche left the match, Yulia started by saying, ‘Well, there are all those maids!’
“Klaus.”
“Yes, Yulia.”
“Can I really trust that maid?”
“I can assure you that he will never harm me or Yulia.”
“It is so strange. She said she was a maid, but it turns out that she has the skills of a professional assassin? Anyone else hearing this will find it strange.”
“If in doubt, you can do some research on Planche.”
No matter how much you dig, nothing will come out.
It wasn’t through training or combat that Planche had such skills.
She just didn’t know that she was such a woman from the beginning.
To Klaus’s confident answer, Yulia let out a sigh.
It was a little strange that she believed in Klaus and she investigated what Klaus was sure of.
But let’s move on like this, thinking of Heetari’s time, I’m secretly anxious again.
‘… For now, let’s move on to the problem of planche. I have a lot to do right now.’
The news that Klaus has come under his command will soon spread throughout the East.
Even now, aristocrats who were members of the neutral faction continue to flock to the situation.
In the meantime, it was very obvious what kind of picture would be drawn if the news that the devil of the south had kneeled himself was conveyed.
“Klaus. I’d love to hear from you. What should I do now? While waiting for the other nobles to visit me, do I have to worry about how to get them to pledge their allegiance and how to win their hearts?”
“No, Yulia. You don’t have to. Loyalty to the king is something they decide for themselves, not Julia’s. What you need to do is to take care of the lives of ordinary demons residing in this demon castle.”
“Look at the lives of the people first, that’s what they are saying.”
Julia seemed to understand exactly what Klaus was trying to say.
After all, the nobles would also try to evaluate the demon king while listening to the evaluation of the people.
And if he sees something that makes him certain, he will immediately run to him, kneel down, and swear allegiance like other demons.
After getting rid of Heetari, Yulia started working for the Demon King in earnest.
Originally, it would have been enough to receive reports from countless servants, confirm them, and pay for them, but now many seats were empty.
Chief Chamberlain Carla Gul and Treasurer May Lore are said to be working hard, but one side has to focus on the work inside the castle, and the other side is tight with just managing money.
Even so, there were many parts that were not strong enough to use the neutral faction demons who joined this time because they had not even been properly verified yet.
Especially after Heetari’s betrayal, that part became more thorough.
A person whose loyalty has not been clearly verified cannot be recklessly appointed.
That was Julia’s idea, and Klaus didn’t bother with the devil’s thoughts.
Because that vacancy was something he could fill.
Of course, the intensity of the work was terrifying compared to other people.
The reports that kept piling up and the documents to be shown to Yulia.
In addition, he was distracted because he had to look at the news from the West and the trends that Yulia’s uncle would see.
‘It’s okay? If it’s difficult, someone who knows how to work in a hurry…’
It was to the point where even Julia, seeing Klaus who was drowning in the sea of documents, suggested that anyone try it once.
Of course, Klaus rejected it with a single knife.
It’s not a matter of who can be trusted or not, because the traitors have all been swept away anyway.
The important thing from now on is to let Yulia know that she can never survive without her.
And she intended to make sure that even the demons around her, even those who were absolutely loyal to the king, were aware that it would be a loss to throw away as much as she did.
I’ve made that mistake in previous rounds.
Just to please Julia, he mobilized all kinds of methods, and the episode ended up like that.
However, the demons around her Yulia were wary of herself and posted her advice, and eventually she was vomited up by Yulia for not ignoring the advice.
‘Honestly, I went overboard at the time. Because she took away everything Yulia had to do, she ended up touching the most important and sensitive part of her as the person with the highest power, the reverse.’
No matter how loyal, no matter how brilliant, no matter how loving.
It is the king’s destiny to eventually eliminate those who pose a serious threat to my power.
A servant who is too good will overthrow the king, and when he is removed from the throne, the king dies.
No matter how much the servant doesn’t have the heart to do that, the anxiety doesn’t go away.
If someone said that there is a king who treats such a servant well.
The only one who can handle an outstanding subject is a superior king.
And from that standard, Klaus was a guy who stood out too much in the episode at the time.
Yulia took away everything she had to do, so she deserved it.
‘Be careful. It’s not particularly brilliant like now, but if Yulia takes over the part that’s quite painful, painful, and wants to stay away, the first plan is complete. The second plan is to provide a solid background while giving Julia honorable and brilliant things.’
It was not for nothing that he was in charge of the entire South during the Continental War.
He simply left the military command and oversaw the entire area, polishing himself in all areas.
It could be said that, in order to become a non-commissioned official of the King Mi, being able to study and work was not an option, but a necessity.
‘I’m sure Heetari’s head has been conveyed well by now.’
It was a moment when the atmosphere was already disturbed and he was thinking of raising his body.
At that moment, the dagger hidden deep in Yulia returned to him completely shattered, so he could no longer back down or look at his liver.
Coincidentally, during the part due to the Territory War, Julia continued to make faults and provoked the nobles under her command, increasing her enmity towards the demon king, so there was no reason to lie down any longer.
Finally, disgusting rebels rushing into the castle.
And at the forefront, there will be the Palatinat family, who were abandoned after using them to their heart’s content.
“Klaus. This is Chief Chamberlain Kalagool.”
“Come on in.”
I took my eyes off the papers for a moment and looked ahead. An old man with a full head entered and bowed.
Since there is no specific position yet, Kala Gul only sticks the word ‘nim’ to Klaus.
Being a human who suddenly entered the castle of demons, it was reasonable to be wary, but this old demon tribe was giving Yulia the highest courtesy just because he was a trustworthy human being.
“What’s going on?”
“I think you should go to Daejeon immediately. I just got the news…”
“The weightlifters got the job done after all.”
“… That’s right.”
Kalagool answered with a stiff face.
Klaus also slightly bit his lip, showing that it was finally here.
Of course, I was giggling and laughing on the inside.
