Chapter 227 – Chapter 21 – Eastern Reconstruction
The fact that Julia sent a large number of newly bowed people to the east and ordered them to extinguish the residual fire.
Let’s just leave it as it is with someone worth checking out and nurturing their loyalty and abilities.
Lastly, the first reason was to pick out those who needed to be eliminated.
And the second reason was to reduce the number of eyes as much as possible so that Klaus could proceed with the work while setting the frame down to the smallest details.
If he looked too close to Klaus, there was a possibility that they would try to keep him in check or, conversely, stick to Klaus, so as the king, he had to prevent that part.
“Klaus, you take care of the part of grasping the dynamics of the West and collecting information.”
“Maybe? Coincidentally, there are many sources of information in the West, so it shouldn’t be difficult.”
“I know that there are many people who have a connection with you. And…”
Yulia, who frowned for a moment, let out a sigh.
Even if she wanted to use everything she had, it seemed that she had no reluctance to borrow even the hands of the forces operating in the shadows.
“Did you say the red tarantula?”
“Are there still parts that get stuck?”
“… You can’t help it. There are forces that you can hold hands with, and there are things that you must not hold onto at any moment. As someone who is in the position of king, looking after those who did all sorts of dirty things is a bit like that.”
“It’s not like you’re watching. That I watch That’s all you need to know.”
“But if that happens…”
“Sometimes you have to have someone to do the dirty work. It’s kind of a deal. The king provides the least shelter, and the servants get their hands dirty for the king in it.”
You can’t do only shining and righteous things forever.
Where is the power maintained with such things?
Sometimes you have to use everything that is dirty, ugly and disgusting.
However, when using it, the king himself should not step forward, but someone else should be used.
That way, if a problem arises later, it can be quickly erased.
“I hate it though. I’d rather leave it to someone else…”
“If you entrust such a role to those who have been loyal to you, Yulia, they will think they have been cast out, and if you entrust it to those who have not yet proven their loyalty, it may be used to accumulate their power. Above all, both factions have some distance from you. You watch from the sidelines and sometimes you can’t monitor them.”
“…”
“I don’t know anything else, but Julia, you should be able to watch and control right next to you collecting information and receiving reports.”
He is the man who lives right next to Yulia.
Therefore, Klaus convinced Yulia that he was suitable for such a job.
Yulia also showed a light of concern for a while, but eventually nodded her head.
There was a part of Klaus persuading, and after all, the funds consumed in the previous battles were all given by the red tarantula, so it was impossible to get rid of it now.
“Secretly invite the leader of the Red Tarantula to the Devil Castle.”
“It will take a while.”
“Does not matter. I’m going to put my hand out behind you, I want to see it myself. Did you say it was a mixed blood between a fairy and a demon? Where did she come from?”
“That’s right.”
“You must have had a very difficult time. That’s why they want a strong supporter.”
“Now it is an organization that is slowly trying to step out into the bright side. As long as Yulia controls it properly, I won’t do anything to undermine the king’s authority.”
“I guess so. Could a woman who was so careless create such a huge organization out of women?”
Having made up her mind, Yulia quickly started discussing the next thing.
She is a woman who thinks a lot until she decides to do something, but once she has made a decision, from then on, she puts aside all doubts and worries and proceeds with great speed.
Although this tendency had its downsides, it was an advantage in times of chaos, such as she is now.
Above all, in the eyes of the demons, Yulia’s appearance was reflected as that of a powerful king.
As Yulia removed her au pen, she intended to place a red tarantula in the place of the ‘shadow’ that had evaporated as well.
To be precise, she intended to entrust information gathering and spying activities to a private organization under the command of the Demon King.
On the surface, it’s just like the corps active in the sun, but if you dig deeper, it’s an underworld force that makes a name for itself in the dark, and you have to dig very deep there to feel the shadow of the demon king.
“What happened to the shadows?”
“Everyone with even the slightest possibility was killed.”
“Good job. You shouldn’t make noise when it matters most. Ability is second. If you have the slightest hint of a crush on me, you can take care of it all without reporting to me, Klaus.”
After that, Yulia mentioned another part.
These days, a large number of humans keep appearing near the border, but I can’t figure out their identity.
He was worried that the West might be trying to take advantage of the confusion on this side and gather a large force to cross the border.
Klaus, who already knew their identity, smiled and shook his head.
With the words that there will be good news sooner or later, that they will be a very small bridge and the most solid cornerstone for later.
Thanks to that, Julia didn’t understand well, but she answered that she would understand.
According to the report, there were no troops gathering nearby, and above all, the current situation in the west was more chaotic than imagined here.
“Klaus. Did you know That it will be like this.”
“I do not know.”
“You didn’t know why you acted like that at the academy. At first, I thought it was too much. Unknowingly, sharp words came out to those who treated you harshly, but I wonder if it was too much. With this, I thought that the West would become one again and strangle me, the East, and you. But, it wasn’t like that.”
“…”
“I heard that the situation in the West is much worse than ours.”
Literally, it’s fair to call the current West a mess.
The news that Klaus, the hero of the Continental War, gave up everything and headed east on his own.
Of course, those who cried out that this was betrayal and treason immediately frothed there were nobles.
To be precise, it was the garbage that had preserved only itself without doing anything in the Continental War, and then swept away everything when the post-war world was chaotic.
Anyone who thinks of Klaus simply as a war hero is innocent.
If you go a little deeper, he is not just a hero who saved the West, but the main point of the warriors who fought bloody sweat to protect their family and land in the Continental War without expecting any reward.
Among them, of course, there will be sane nobles, and there will be ruling powers with the right will.
However, more than half of them were ordinary people who had nothing and lived an extremely ordinary and insignificant life where life was to earn and live day by day.
When the war finally ended, they gained social prestige.
And a greater prestige than most of the nobles they had served as their masters.
However, it was an honorable reward, not a material one.
As soon as the war was over, in front of those who raked in money and power through all sorts of mischief, they were just a passing glory, a trace of the war.
Because of this, those who left an indelible stain on the Continental War wanted to erase that trace.
However, society’s attitude towards those heroes is incomparably better than that of nobles.
I wanted to get rid of them immediately, but I couldn’t.
In the meantime, Klaus, the center of the Continental War participants, abandoned the West.
It was a force with vested interests that could not miss such a good opportunity, and they pushed them hard.
That arrogance had finally gone too far, made itself special, and betrayed the West and its people.
The true face of Klaus and the Continental War participants that people followed so much was revealed.
‘Originally, a guy who has something to hold on to is more damning. And people in the west aren’t assholes and idiots either. There are a lot of people who think it’s possible for the nobles to do that shit.’
They would have seen it as a very good opportunity.
They must have thought it was time to overturn the public sentiment that was not favorable to them at once.
However, when the lid was opened, a field of division was literally opened, with some claiming that the nobles were right and others claiming that you had the right to say such things.
Someone puts a string on one side, and another puts a kite on the opposite side.
As things progressed in this way, everyone literally rolled their eyes.
If I was pushed out, I felt that my life could be threatened, not the level of being alienated.
Those who protected the worst traitor, or those who cursed the hero and eventually kicked it out.
Either side will wear that tag, so no one can back down now.
“We will fight until one side dies. Whoever extends their hand to stop here will be called a traitor and will think they know their weakness.”
“Did you think that far before you came to me?”
“I guess you could say they threw me homework because they wanted to kick me out. Do what you want once in a while However, you are the only one who handles the aftermath. Why did the meritorious soldiers of the Continental War endure and endure so far? It’s because I’ve been silent, because I’ve never been openly hostile. On the contrary, the nobles thought that I would keep my head down forever.”
“To be honest, I was very surprised at first too. Klaus, when you said you would turn to us demons rather than fairies or beasts. It was to the point that I wondered if there was some kind of strange plan.”
Of course it had to be.
He had to postpone it so that no one in the world doubted his loyalty.
Wasn’t that why he was silent under the annoyance of those fucking aristocrats?
“Klaus. As I said before, if you organize the East, the next is the West. And that Western Domo will never end peacefully or quietly. You know?”
“Absolutely.”
“If someone who was once yours stops me, bumps into me. I will trample, crush, and tear without a trace without remorse. Are you okay though?”
“The king’s enemy is my enemy, so you’re asking the obvious.”
“… Do you really mean that? I’m really going to kill everyone who has a relationship with you.”
“If you do not surrender, you may do so.”
After staring at Klaus for a moment, Yulia let out a sigh and nodded her head.
To be honest, I wanted to see a little bit of trouble or perplexity.
That guy who reacts as if he was expecting everything up to that point is a bit nasty.
He showed all of his parts, but Klaus seems to still have a lot to hide.
“Yulia. I think it would be better to use Lire as the point of contact with the red tarantula.”
“Since he was a member of the shadows, there should be no problem with his abilities. But origin is also important, right? What if she had other thoughts?”
“Hasn’t her loyalty already been proven?”
“Because sensitive areas need to be surrounded by layers of doubt to be safe.”
Again -.
Yulia, who came closer to her, looked at Klaus with her coy eyes.
It’s not tempting, it’s a feeling of persuading you to be honest.
“So, she brought the girl alive? To wield her woman perfectly.”
“I just brought her sister to clear her debt because she said she was being held.”
“That’s what we call a hostage.”
It was Klaus who smiled at Yulia’s words.
