Mawanga’s Secret Real Estate 216

Chapter 216 – Chapter 20 – My King

The day before Yulia led his troops.

“Hey, Kayla. Can we really go on like this… ?”

Right before the battle, he was suspected of being a member of the Les Blancs family.
However, due to the overwhelming magic skills she showed in battle, Cecily has now dispelled that doubt.
She said that to Kayla, who was preparing to go back in full swing with her uneasy expression on her nails.

She knows the basics even though she is unfamiliar with combat.
The most important thing when attacking an enemy who is holding a sit-in in a castle is to block supplies.
To do that, a siege is essential, and to do that, numbers are important.
However, Yulia’s decision was to face all of that head-on.

“It’s already been decided by His Majesty the Demon King, Lady Cecily.”
“But…”
“If you don’t want to tell Her Highness directly, stop.”

At Kayla’s words, which sank low, Cecily shut her mouth.
In fact, what she was worried about was not the defeat of Yuliana or Klaus.
Because I never thought that the two of them would lose.
What Cecily was worried about now was the future of LeBlanc.

‘Father… To the end… !’

According to the news, Leblanc Gazoo, that is, Cecily’s father, eventually followed Aufen.
If she had just surrendered like the family head of Palatinat, she would have had a chance to ask for forgiveness, but in this way, it is certain that nothing will work anymore.
If my family got in his way, he might end it, but Les Blancs is where he used to live and where his family is, like his hometown.
From Cecily’s point of view, she desperately wanted to save LeBlanc somehow.

If there is no way, even if it means killing my father with my own hands.

“Oh, and. Miss Cecily. Klaus-sama told Cecily-nim to join this march as well.”
“Me?”
“Yeah. Even the Demon King allowed it.”
“Klaus-sama’s subordinate, Kaela-sama, doesn’t go either, so why are you…”
“He said that His Highness the Demon King also allowed it. And I am not Klaus-sama’s subordinate, but the warrior commander of the Demon Castle. Please be careful as your words and actions will raise suspicion from others.”

Kayla warned in a rather cold tone.
Thanks to this, Cecily thinks of Ella, who didn’t even try to step on Klaus’s shadow at her academy. Was

In the meantime, upon hearing that Yulia had called her, Cecily hurriedly headed to the demon king’s barracks.
Stepping inside her, her Yulia was sitting in her seat, staring at her.
Yulia waving her hands as if she had just gotten down on her knees and said yes.

“I must have heard that you were with the warrior commander. You, too, pursue the traitor with me.”

Said, taking her luck.

“Me too… You mean?”
“Yes. Cecily LeBlanc, you are also with me. Didn’t you already tell me I will prove your loyalty. So, isn’t it a very big success in the previous battle? Am I wrong?”
“No, Your Highness the Demon King.”
“Honey, Cecily LeBlanc, I am going to take you with me. Apparently, the family head of Leblanc left the battlefield with the traitor. The Palatinath and other families bowed their heads to me early on, but he gave up the opportunity, saying that he would still not give up on his humble loyalty.”
“…”
“I’m very sorry to say this, but this way can’t clear up your doubts about the LeBlanc family. Even if you are a member of the LeBlanc family. Even if you make a lot of contributions and prove your loyalty by my side, what will the servants under me say if the head of the household is like that?”

I knew my father would bend his will if he suffered such a defeat.
He was no fool, so it was taken for granted that he would read the tide and no longer insist on a sinking ship.
However, as he followed Au Penn, Les Blancs blew the last chance to get him off his feet.
He might think he was loyal, but in the eyes of Cecily and the family, it was nothing more than self-consolation.

Cecily felt that he might have to cross the line he had been guarding until the very end.
He himself has no intention of abandoning Klaus, and he does not want to see the end of the Les Blancs family.
He thought that if he himself played a role in the battle with Au Pen and his father surrendered, he would be able to ask for forgiveness at least once, but in this way, there is really only one way.

“I will follow the will of Your Highness the Demon King.”

Unlike before, Cecily’s words and actions were quite firm.
It was Yulia who noticed it right away, but he didn’t say anything.
She’s foolish, she’s not a woman, so now she knows what’s left of her.

She’s tragic, devastating, and even though she hates herself a bit for forcing her to do this.
Originally, this is what this power board is like, and it is here that there are no parents, siblings, or children to live.
If the head of the household is not removed immediately, all members of the family may be accused of being traitors and be annihilated.
You must make a decision to save your family, those who belong to it, and yourself.

“We will be leaving tomorrow morning, Cecily LeBlanc. To prepare.”
“All right.”

Cecily withdrew while bowing to Yulia.
She thought maybe it was because she had gone through so much trouble at her academy just for this very moment.
My father and the head of the LeBlanc family are magic, but he is also quite good at swordsmanship.
She assured me that no matter how good her magic skills were, she would be able to overcome herself by closing the distance in an instant.

But, it won’t be now.
What have you learned while shedding blood and sweat at the academy?
Although, at the beginning, I wanted to look good to Klaus somehow.
As a result, his close-quarters combat ability has grown remarkably.
If you put your original magic skills in there, it could lead to the opposite result.

‘Father. Please forgive me.’

Apologizing in advance, Cecily hardened her heart.
She is the last path for herself and the Les Blancs family to survive.
Cecily would walk that thorny path, she thought.

“…”

Meanwhile, after Cecily left, Yulia was staring at the place where she had disappeared.
She felt sorry for a moment, but she soon shook her head and erased those feelings.
This is not an option, but a necessity, and if she does not prove her loyalty with this, she will eventually have no choice but to completely eliminate the Les Blancs family.

The cleanup that Klaus talked about, that is, a massive purge of nobles.
None of those who originally stayed by my side had great power.
All the families that were said to have strong authority in the East were attached to Aufen.
It stemmed from the idea that in a situation where victory seems obvious, there is more to be gained if we stick together quickly.
And these were the conclusions that came from the fantasy of making their power more solid under the new demon king.

This time, along with Palatinath, some of them noticed and quickly changed routes.
Yulia had no intention of watching them quietly.
I’ll give you some congratulations, since it’s difficult to make those who surrender feel uneasy right now.
When time passes and the east is stabilized, from then on, we will knock out all of them in earnest.

‘Let’s give credit to a few of the neutral factions, including the Else family, to the Palatinat and others, and tell the rest to be grateful just for being forgiven. They’ll be grateful for that alone.’

At least that’s mercy for those who betrayed them in the previous battle.
The rest is meaningless even if given a chance now.
As Klaus said, if the back is unstable, you can’t pay attention to the front.
My past self harbored the illusion of a peaceful exchange between West and East.
He finally realized that it was impossible when he sat down properly in the king’s seat and looked at the world straight.

After all, the powerful people in the West are no different from my uncle.
At any time, he will try to threaten and intimidate himself and the demons in the east.
Nature does not change, conversation is meaningless and only power decides everything.

Let’s not be weak anymore, let’s become a ‘king’ in the true sense.
Yulia muttered that to herself while looking down at her hands.
For the sake of the loyal ones who have endured so far for their own sake.
For each and every soldier killed and wounded in this battle.
And, for the man who left everything behind and came next to me and raised me up.

‘Let’s become the strongest devil in Eastern history, no, the strongest on the continent, for the sake of those who follow me.’

While Yulia thought so, he decided to erase all the thoughts he was harboring from now on.
Peace, reconciliation, and forgiveness, meaning nothing now.
If it’s not to fill people’s stomachs, but to eat their flesh and blood.
He will throw all that out and become the king he thought he would never be.
Even if someone says he’s cruel or devilish, he’ll gladly do so if he can become a greater king than any other being to those who follow him.

And it started with a traitor that I will never forgive, even if it’s my uncle.
We will start by killing the disgusting person with our own hands.

“… No king is good for everyone.”

Yulia murmured as she leaned deeply against the backrest.
As it grew stronger, neither her body nor her mind, to the point where it would not break down when finally left alone. Alone…

Then, Yulia suddenly kicked and laughed.
Alone, I will not be left.
There will always be people by my side who want to follow me.
No matter how many times you fail and fail again, you will remain.
Even if everyone dispersed, at least that man would be by my side.

“You won’t be disappointed. Klaus.”

* * * * * * * * * *

The news was delivered one after another by the scouts who had been sent earlier.
As Yulia expected, the enemies did not head further east, but towards Aufen’s castle.
She also said that she locked the city gates, prepared for a sit-in, and sent messengers to the surrounding area to request support.

“… It doesn’t seem like a good situation, Your Highness the Demon King.”

Ain quietly gave his opinion.
It seemed to mean to stop now or at least to request reinforcements.
However, Yulia seemed not to mind, and made them march right in front of the castle.
Aufen’s castle was very grand and splendid, according to the reputation that ‘it is not the best condition to defend’.
Its scale was comparable to the Devil’s Castle, no, it was even more beautiful than that.

“Disgusting.”

Yulia gave her first impression as she looked at the castle.
As if he wanted to burn and overthrow it right away, flames blazed in the demon king’s eyes.

“Klaus.”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
“Form up a camp and take a light look at the lines that are out of the enemy’s attack range.”

Klaus left first, saying that he would immediately execute Julia’s order.
Now, the only ones left are Ain and Cecily.
Of the two men and women who looked at each other for a while, it was surprisingly Cecily who spoke first.

“His Highness the Demon King. Are you really going to attack the castle?”
“Of course we have to destroy it, Lady Cecily. We can’t just stare at those who dare to ignore the king’s authority.”
“His Highness the Demon King is right. But…”
“However, let’s wait a little longer.”

At those words, Cecily blinked as if to say something.
What do you mean by advancing as if you were about to start a siege and now waiting?

“It’s not bad to break it down, but it’s not bad to see it collapse.”

With a sneer on her lips, Yulia whispered that.
