Chapter 242 – Chapter 23 – Back
A new semester at the academy has begun.
Klaus was sitting in his room, staring at the academy, which was still lively even though half of the students had left.
I wish I could escape the flames of war here, but it wasn’t easy.
It’s a problem that it’s located not far from the border, and the academy itself is a huge castle, so there was a time when the Western Union tried to forcibly absorb the academy and use it as a fortress.
Originally, it would have been possible to just push through, but neither Julia nor Klaus preferred to completely destroy this academy, where they had memories of meeting each other for the first time.
So, there were many times when the academy was still there even while pushing to other areas.
‘It’s not long now. It won’t be long before the westerners will do it again out of nervousness.’
What worries me more than my misfortune is the good fortune of others.
Even if that person is the same enemy who once fought fiercely.
He may go crazy with the imagination of looking down on himself because he is many times better than himself.
The West was just like that.
Before the war, and even after the war, there were still many directions in which the West was slightly more advantageous.
They are ahead of them in food production, and the eastern part, which has no way to obtain salt, must be groaning.
There are not many people who are loyal to the king, and there are rather many people who dream of treason, so they believed that they could have just leisurely watched the eastern part gradually fall apart.
Suddenly, the insignificant demon king sorted everything out in just a few months.
Salt mines were discovered in the East, giving it an advantage in the salt sector.
Without any sign of further rebellion, all the demons bowed their heads in front of the demon king.
And, crucially, that was until the man who thought he would be able to stop the demons unconditionally, no matter how many times they invaded, left for the East.
“Klaus.”
When I turned around, Yulia was standing there as if she had just returned from today’s lecture.
Confirming her appearance, Klaus smiled at her and hugged the woman who came towards him.
Julia, too, rubbed her cheek against her chest like any other normal woman in his arms.
“Aren’t you bored today? I can’t even lecture, and I think it will be frustrating.”
“Not at all. Rather, I was looking forward to it all day waiting for you.”
“Lie.”
“I am not lying. Why would I lie about something like this?”
“That sounds like a lie too.”
Even as Yulia said that, she smiled even deeper as if she was about to die of happiness.
Currently, Klaus still holds the position of professor.
However, if the combat magic lecture was resumed, it was obvious that most of the students would focus more on a man named Klaus who abandoned the West and returned to the East rather than focusing on the content of the lecture.
Of course, the lecture would be sluggish, so he decided that it would be better to take a break from the lecture.
President Ruscal also nodded to Klaus’ opinion.
There was turmoil inside the academy, and pressure and checks from outside played a part.
With many aristocrats still considering Klaus a traitor, hearing the news that he was teaching again as a professor was sure to frustrate them.
“Rather, I like it. I don’t have to prepare lectures every day like before, I just wake up in the morning and see you and get some reports about the East and West, then Yulia, when you come back, I’ll just greet you again. This is enough for me.”
He’s already been through a lot of hardships.
If it was possible, it was better to just sit back and rest and go and do some work from time to time.
In that sense, I think the present moment is probably the most comfortable time.
“Rather than that, have you met Natasha?”
“Yeah. Even if it’s not, I’m on my way to have a cup of tea with her just before her.”
Originally, she was Yulia, who would have shown her wariness because she dared to covet the things of the king.
However, compared to Natasha, she is so superior that she dare not even compare.
Klaus himself, not anyone else, stepped in and made it clear.
In this way, Yulia was able to accept Natasha and other women with some degree of generosity.
Of course, that won’t always be the case.
“They say that fairy society is just as noisy as kingdoms and empires.”
“I guess so. It’s not as much as the human nobles, but there are only a few who took advantage of hiding behind during the continental war. Originally, bad guys live well until the end. Those who make sacrifices for nothing become fools.”
“I must never step on their ex-wives. Even if it’s not, from the time of the Continental War to the suppression of the rebellion not too long ago. I am thinking of holding a regular event to commemorate those who were willing to give their lives for the royal family.”
“Of course it should. If an individual sacrificed for the sake of the group and the group does not come forward to comfort the soul, who will step forward?”
As if Klaus was right, Yulia nodded her head.
Afterwards, she continued to tell her man the stories she had shared with Natasha.
For now, Eunkwang is carrying on with her work very smoothly, she says.
She said that most mines have so many reserves that it is impossible to even compare them.
Most of all, thanks to the demons’ permission to cross the border, the business is expanding without a hitch.
“Thanks to that, I was able to receive more rewards. Maybe if they knew how much, the West Union would go crazy with stomachaches?”
“I’m sure that part will also be one of the excuses. Losing is full of people who can’t stand it even if they die.”
“Puha! Loss? Loss? Do you consider that a loss now?”
A smile bursts from Julia’s lips.
But that laugh is not really a positive meaning.
On the contrary, Klaus knew that there was a vague but clear anger in it.
“When the mine was discovered, everyone flinched when they said that it didn’t seem to be of any benefit. In the meantime, she invested so much money that only Natasha, who heard your opinion, thought it was too much. If it hadn’t been for that, the mine would have been closed before being half dug in. What did they do? On such a topic, do you think that you are losing money because your stomach hurts now? Ahahahaha!!”
It’s not against me, I know it’s not against me.
Still, for some reason, Klaus felt an eerie run down his spine.
Yulia, who occasionally went there and laughed so loudly, was the second scariest thing in the world.
For reference, the first one was Yulia who shed tears in front of her, and the third one was Julia who cried out.
“It’s so consistent that it’s embarrassing to say it’s disgusting. How on earth did they become the rulers of the West? Isn’t it really amazing?”
It’s strange, sleeping, and nothing to do.
That they had such an inclination, that the West was ruled by them.
Because everything was made by none other than Klaus himself.
As I said before, the West is where only the worst forms of history have been gathered.
The reason was that he wanted humans, beastmen, fairies, etc., Who were always seen as good rather than evil, to be seen as the forces of evil.
That’s why I set the setting like that, but did you know that you would fall into the world of a novel like this?
If I knew it would be like this, I would have kept it a little less asshole.
Even as I sigh inside, I wonder if this would have been better.
With this, you can watch Yulia destroy the West without any burden.
After all, it was the world she saved once, and those who deserved to continue their lives would come under Yulia as long as she persuaded them well.
There is no need to feel guilty, and there is no reason to do so. Even if you die, the cheap guy dies, that’s all.
“What did you say about the situation in the West these days?”
Julia entrusted the work in the information department to Klaus.
After all, he is the reason why the red tarantula came to have contact with him.
Lire, who is said to be doing quite well, is also a woman Klaus has captured.
That’s why I couldn’t find a suitable person other than Klaus.
“Compared to two months ago, it should be good. Until then, the atmosphere was likely to lead to a civil war at any moment, but everyone was shocked by the news that the eastern part was calmed down in an instant.”
“If they fight each other, the reason is that no one knows who will have the upper hand. Those with a lot of war experience do not have funds and military right now, and conversely, those who have funds and military have no experience, so they will get in the way of each other.”
“As I heard, the reason I moved to the east was that I decided to leave it alone for now. I decided not to touch the remaining meritors of the Continental War. Also, I guess they ended up refraining from mentioning the part of the continental war.”
“In the end, the nobles take advantage again. It was the Continental War that was full of their shame, but they didn’t mention it. He is very incompetent, but in some ways he is very competent.”
At that, Klaus shook his head.
Rather than the aristocrats being competent, it was to be seen that the good men who still remained made concessions to prevent needless division.
It was a land they had defended by shedding blood and sweat, sacrificing the lives of their comrades, but it was not a cry, nor could they see it burning with internal flames, so they gnashed their teeth and retreated.
‘I don’t even know that, and the nobles must be happy that they’re on top.’
Originally, it was right that the Marquis of Kienmeyer should step up and hold the center to some extent.
But somehow, after Klaus left for the East, the Marquis of Kienmeyer almost stopped his political activities, and the voices of those with proper brains among the aristocrats rapidly diminished.
Some say that the Marquis of Kienmeyer was deeply hurt by his friend’s betrayal.
Klaus knew everything about what he was thinking about entering the spy.
In the unlikely event that the ship you were on runs aground and sinks on its own.
They were preparing to change ships to save their own people.
So far, they’ve set the direction of the sails, pumped up water, and done all sorts of things.
Even so, if the ship chooses to sink itself, ignoring the effort.
Staying there and sinking with it was nothing more than a moronic idiot.
“What about our situation?”
“Ashley Palatinat and Ferdinand Else sent me a secret letter saying that they are training each of the troops. Somehow, I told you to prepare the troops for the Continental War.”
“There is no need to overdo it. It’s because I’m tired when I overdo it and information leaks out. We have to proceed so that the West will never know.”
“Is it possible?”
“What about Cecily LeBlanc? Did you hear that there are no flying flies?”
Then Klaus smiled. It means that there really are no flying flies.
Yulia smiled in response and nodded her head as if she knew it.
It was said that there were people who had been swindled without knowing that they were in a position to die, so it would be fine to catch and kill them all as they wished.
“I look forward to it. I’m really looking forward to it.”
Yulia, who muttered that in a whisper, suddenly grabbed Klaus’s shirt.
And she leans over to herself and gives her royal mandate.
“Tonight. Come to my room As the king’s wife, you must do your duty.”
