Chapter 225 – Chapter 21 – Eastern Reconstruction
Give me a chance to prove my loyalty.
As the words escape Cecily’s mouth, everyone’s expressions become strange.
First of all, the loyalists and the neutrals who joined before the battle have a face that says they won’t be bad.
Nothing good will happen if you keep leaving your seat.
All the fires started by the rebels were extinguished. There is no need for the king to move just because the embers remain.
By now all the news should have reached the West.
When the king is away again at such an important time, there is no such thing as an easy moment.
“Le Blanc family. Did you ask for a chance to prove your loyalty?”
“That’s right. Your Highness the Demon King.”
“If that’s the case, I’ll take you and the others over there to pacify the rest of the area.”
Cecily nodded at Yulia’s words.
Then, the demon king, who had been looking at Les Blanc’s new head of household for a while, drew a smile on his lips.
“Can I trust you? In less than a month, I killed the leader of the traitor. I also killed all the traitors in the area you want to pacify. Now all that’s left there are snakes that have lost their heads and only their bodies. Wouldn’t I be very disappointed if I still can’t hear good news?”
“I think you deserve to be here only if you try to make sure that doesn’t happen.”
At Cecily’s answer, Yulia smiled even deeper.
At the same time, Klaus, who had been guiding Cecily’s acting skills all the way up to this point, was able to feel once again that her efforts were not in vain.
Klaus’s promise that if things go well, he will bully them to their heart’s content.
Cecily, who had suddenly changed to the level of awakening, was really doing her best.
The head of the new LeBlanc family, and at the same time a person who wants to give absolute loyalty to the Demon King.
As such, he was trying to be seen by everyone gathered at the table.
“Well, when you say that, I have no choice but to believe it. If Reblanc Gazoo says that, I can’t stop it either. If not… The Palatinath family.”
“Yes, Your Highness the Demon King.”
“You guys will be a little uncomfortable in the eyes of others, so it’s better to make something clear, right? How about Are you going to wipe out the remaining remnants of the traitor with the LeBlanc family?”
There is no reason to reject it here.
On the surface, it was only the king making a proposal, but it was no different from an order.
It is Yulia who has completely subdued even her powerful nemesis and has perfectly obtained the East.
In her current situation, what she says is the law, and she is also the knife that holds the lifelines of others.
“If it’s the order of His Majesty the Demon King, I’ll just follow it.”
“It is reassuring to say so. Alas, wouldn’t it be a little unfair to give only you guys a chance? Don’t do this Lord Else!”
“God Ferdinand. Come to Xiamen.”
“How about you go with me? Although he made military achievements, he could make a bigger contribution by sweeping away the remnants of the rebellion. I do not question your loyalty. Rather, I want to send it because I believe.”
As the story reaches that point, the atmosphere becomes strange.
As Cecily said, it is true that there are many traitor’s estates in the far east.
However, it can be said that they lost their family head and almost lost their enlisted soldiers.
Julia was saying that he would send a large number of people gathered here at a time when there was no need to send a lot of people.
Because of this, the loyalist demons are starting to show a little uneasiness.
It’s not that I’m worried about being pushed back by them, it’s because if I send my soldiers away and all of them turn around again, that’s a huge headache.
It is relatively common for a rebellion to be suppressed at best, followed by another rebellion.
Moreover, if you rebel again against the forces that suppressed the rebellion, you will become even more tired.
For that reason, I thought it would be a good idea to properly tear the demons belonging to the loyalists.
But did Julia not know the feelings of those servants?
Even though he knew otherwise, he kept staring at Ferdinand to see if there was another meaning.
“Since His Highness the Demon King cares so much, how can I refuse? I will run right away and punish all those who dare to disturb the heart of His Majesty the Demon King.”
If Ferdinand agrees, what about the neutral aristocrats? Is a reaction
Aren’t they the ones who joined Yulia before the battle?
It couldn’t be compared to the existing loyalists, but he was still thinking that he was better than the Palatinath over there.
However, Ferdinand, who can be said to be the center of it, does not put his own credit first and thoroughly bows his head, clearly saying that he will not go against the devil’s planting in the slightest.
He had no choice but to follow him as aristocrats who depended on him and came this far.
When all the personnel were finally decided, Yulia lightly clapped her hands and said she would believe in you guys.
In addition, since there are families nearby that have decided to bow their heads to him, such as Les Blancs and Palatinat, he asked if he could receive support and said that he would give up about 5,000 of his troops.
If it is less, it may be less, but on the contrary, the king’s will is to show the highest efficiency even in such a situation.
Here, those who met the expectations of the demon king would gain the trust and gain new strength.
“I will set up the departure in three days. In the meantime, LeBlanc’s family head, Cecily LeBlanc. The family head of Palatinat, Ashley Palatinat. Let Ferdinand, the head of the Else family, discuss how to subdue the remaining forces.”
With those words, the whole meeting ended.
At the king’s order to leave, Cecily was the first to say hello and then left the meeting room.
Considering that the LeBlanc family was a family that had built up a powerful force not too long ago.
When the woman called the head of the place came out, the other nobles couldn’t think of anything else.
Following them, Ashley and Ferdinand also resign, and Deste and all the loyalists disappear.
Even the chamberlain, Kalagul, disappeared, and Julia was left alone in the meeting room.
No, I will correct it. A man was sitting at the end with a smile on his face.
“Cecily’s acting skills weren’t bad. To be honest, I was worried at first.”
“She is an unexpectedly expressive woman.”
“… I’d like to ask why you know that, but I’ll bear with it. Because I prepared such a wonderful play.”
The reason why he bothered to send them all away, the reason why he sent them all to the front even though the loyalists were worried.
From now on, all nobles must keep each other in check and focus only on the demon king.
In order to catch her eye, sometimes he barks like a dog and shows his stomach.
Also, sometimes you have to quickly find out the traitor, catch him, and offer him credit.
The era of nobles wielding real power is over.
From now on, everything will return under the rule of the Demon King.
If they subdue the remaining nobles with their own hands, it will become a ball right away.
However, in the eyes of the people of the East, it would be an act of nobles beating nobles, and they themselves would undermine their own prestige and honor.
Even if you are a noble, you will eventually find out that you are just a subject in front of the king.
They were once nobles who thought they were the sky in front of you.
In front of the king, they are just eastern people who must obey orders.
If that recognition is clearly conveyed to the people, it will become a different royal family than before.
Cecily was used to make that part clear.
The succession to the title of head of a family is solely determined by that family.
However, Julia broke even that and decided herself to be Cecile, the next head of LeBlanc.
All the nobles gathered at that moment must have noticed.
Now, that their power will not be the same as before, and that the time of absolute monarchy will come when they must receive the king’s permission even to ascend to the position of head of household.
Of course, you shouldn’t just give them a whip.
If you do this while giving away carrots that you can fully accept, even if you don’t enjoy as much power as before, you can live a decent life.
So, didn’t they hand over the fact that they were ‘loyalists who wiped out the remnants of the traitors’?
“Maybe they fell for the tricks of the remnants. Or the odds of them uniting and revolting?”
“There is not. Ferdinand Else isn’t such a fool, and Ashley Palatinat isn’t such a fool as to change my will overnight. With Cecily in there, there’s nothing more to be a problem.”
“She believes in her quite a bit.”
“Doesn’t Julia know that Cecily’s feelings are sincere?”
“I know. Of course you know. However, where does that sincerity flow from and where does it flow? Could this be the problem? Klaus?”
Cecily was a woman, and Julia herself was a woman.
Of course, did that woman really have only pure loyalty to herself?
Or maybe she’s trying to get something out of that allegiance.
From Yulia’s point of view, Cecily was trying hard to get in Klaus’ eyes.
Just like a girl facing her first love, she is so excited in body and mind that she doesn’t know what to do.
“Isn’t that what everyone used to be, Yulia? Not everyone gives their allegiance out of pure intent. Everyone has something they want. To achieve that, it is safest to be by the king’s side, so give allegiance to the king and follow all orders.”
“… Are you like that too?”
A question from Yulia suddenly popped in.
It means that you are also showing pretense to me by aiming for something else.
To that, Klaus decided to give a slightly twisted limb answer.
“Absolutely.”
“Is it natural?”
“Right now, rather than gaining the trust of the Demon King, I’m trying to perfectly capture the heart of a woman named Yulia. You are devoting all your allegiance to aiming for that.”
It’s something a smooth man in a bar would say.
Thanks to that, Yulia, who hadn’t expected such words to come out, ‘… Huh?’ And panicked.
To say such an embarrassing thing in a place like this, not even on the bed.
It’s embarrassing, but it tickles my chest, but it doesn’t feel bad.
Rather, I thought that if that was the reason, it would be good enough.
Sabak-.
The demon king, who slowly rose from his throne, approached Klaus as if he were flying.
Then, suddenly, he hugged him tightly and took a deep breath in his arms.
“… Neither do I. To be the woman who wants to monopolize your love. That’s why such a strong king wants to become an attractive king.”
“I am so sorry to hear that, Your Highness the Demon King.”
Klaus’s answer was soon overshadowed by Yulia’s deep kiss.
The two men and women, who had been sharing a sweet kiss in the midst of such a sweet kiss, secretly distanced themselves from the presence of the outside.
It could be said that it was still too early to announce the relationship between the two.
“His Highness the Demon King. I am the chamberlain.”
“Come in.”
When permission is granted, the chamberlain, Kalagool, appears.
In his hand was a carefully folded letter.
“His Highness the Demon King. The fairy has secretly sent me a letter.”
“On the fairy side? Did you send me a letter?”
“It is. The person who sent the letter… It is called Belarus.”
Klaus smiled the moment he heard the name of Belarus from Karagul’s mouth.
Apparently, the Natasha Coin she invested this time had gone bad.
