Chapter 258 – Chapter 24 – Shimmering Flames
“You mean going out?”
“Yes, sir.”
Another weekend at the academy.
Ruscal, as usual, looked at Klaus, who had come to visit him, rather than doing his work.
After he entered the academy as a professor, he rarely went out for personal business.
He went out only occasionally, but most of the time he came right back.
Of course, that’s because Klaus went out without Ruscal’s knowledge and returned from work in an instant.
That’s because measures were taken so that no one knew about it.
President Ruscal, who couldn’t understand that part, couldn’t help but think that Klaus was seeking permission to go out after a long time.
“Are you going out alone?”
“No. Actually, cadet Yulia has never been on a western outing.”
“It seems that all the other cadets go out on weekends, but were they only at the academy?”
“At first it was because of those who dared to harm the king, and after that I didn’t really feel the need to go out. He said this was the reason. However, this time I had some spare time, so I said I wanted to see it with my own two eyes. So I will try to accompany you.”
Then President Ruscal looked at Klaus blankly.
He knows very well about the rumors that are circulating in the world.
The hero of the Continental War fell into the demon king’s beauty world and was haggard and couldn’t come to his senses.
He is also a human being who has eyes and thinks.
He had a little bit of insight as he sat in the president’s seat and saw countless people.
Do you think Klaus is really like a man obsessed with beauty?
‘… If that’s the look of a person who’s obsessed with it, how are the other nobles going to explain it?’
He may be acting, or he may be trying to pretend nothing is wrong.
However, even taking that into account, the momentum and atmosphere that Klaus displayed were not completely obsessed with something.
Rather, something flickered in his eyes, albeit very weakly, to the point where I was really worried about whether he was really going out this time just to get some fresh air or if he was aiming for something else.
So President Ruscal asked Klaus a question in a calm tone.
“Is it really just a simple outing?”
“That’s right. I plan to show cadet Yulia the scenery of the west.”
“Aside from that, anything else. Could it be that there are other things to do?”
“It will return quietly if others do not provoke or provoke it first.”
Even if you don’t know if Yulia is the Demon King or not, her appearance will catch your eye wherever you go.
At the academy, looking at her beauty alone, even the fairies couldn’t stand it.
She also has reddish eyes unique to the demon tribe, so there is a high probability of getting caught up in her quarrel.
Although Klaus was by his side, since no one knew his face, it was impossible to conclude that nothing would happen unconditionally.
Plus, I was worried because I knew that this man’s personality wasn’t overly ferocious, but the moment he crossed the line, he would explode in rage without mercy.
I should have hoped nothing would happen, but even then it’s been very noisy lately.
Not only the nobles of the kingdom, but also the empire, fairies, and beastmen are shaken.
At a time like this, you never know when and how even a small fire will spread and burn fiercely.
“Please go as quietly as possible. And when an accident happens, he is really tired.”
“I have no intention of getting into an accident. I just get caught up in what other guys are doing and I have no choice but to struggle to get out of it.”
“Is that a struggle? Does it look like a knife fight to me?”
“Anyway, as long as I don’t touch people who are still, I’m also very docile.”
Klaus, who said such things casually, was a truly amazing President Ruscal.
It was Klaus who cut off the tongue of the knight who came with the will from the kingdom’s nobility council earlier.
Thanks to him, he will have no idea how much trouble he has suffered.
After Klaus left the president’s office, President Ruscal suddenly felt uneasy.
Strangely, when that man tries to do something, something seems to happen.
Come to think of it, the people who kept coming to visit me and bothering me to tell them about Klaus’s every move suddenly stopped coming.
‘… Should I hope not? This is really frustrating and it’s driving me crazy.’
By the time President Ruscal is back to focusing on his work, hoping nothing will happen.
After leaving the president’s office, Klaus approached Julia, who was waiting for him first.
At a time like her now, if her demons wandered around her carelessly, nothing would be good, but her reason for taking her was to throw her embers into her pyre, which was ready for her Tao. It was for
It’s just that I’m very concerned about Julia having her child.
So, I thought about whether I could really put this plan into action, but I thought about it over and over again.
He said that if it was Yulia he knew, she wouldn’t hesitate and she would do it.
On the contrary, I would like to be able to teach my child the harshness of the world from an early age.
“Shall we go, Your Highness the Demon King?”
“Yes, let’s go. Klaus.”
Soon after the two men and women got on the carriage, the twinkling eyes lingered for a while before disappearing.
After that, a pigtail flew up from the academy and started heading somewhere.
Whether he knew it or not, Klaus was busy laughing and chatting with Yulia.
About the various stories of the West, and about the cities we are heading to now.
Everything about what happened there and how they found the red tarantula.
Because it was a story that had never been told before.
Julia listened to Klaus with her eyes twinkling.
In particular, a strange nobleman did not recognize Klaus and was rude.
Going one step further, the captain of the guard commits even greater rudeness.
Finally, when he talked about being robbed by a bigger nobleman who originally knew him, everyone laughed so loudly that everyone felt good.
“Ahahaha!! Incredible. It’s really great. Don’t those aristocratic kids learn history?”
“I learn. Other than that, they are learning very hard.”
“And you still committed such rudeness? To you? That’s great, really.”
“Well, I couldn’t say anything more because I added this as an excuse that I didn’t know in my own words.”
“If you say you didn’t know, it seems like there is no punishment for killing people. No one else dares to dare to be the hero of the Continental War and the savior of the West.”
I can assure you, if the two of them, a young man named Learman and an aristocrat named Eggma, were right in front of them.
It was something that Yulia might have torn the mouths of the two of them while laughing.
It is said that her husband and wife resemble her, and she also reacted very sensitively to the part that is her own.
Someone else insulted and humiliated Klaus. That alone was reason enough to die.
It is an obvious fact that Yulia will be even more angry since she even went further than that and decided to just kill her with 50 whippings.
Since it was already in the past, Klaus smiled and replied that it didn’t matter.
The Earl of Fremont took care of everything anyway, so what should I say here.
‘Come to think of it, I don’t know if Earl Fremont is doing well.’
The Marquis of Kienmeyer has a strong power from the beginning, so don’t worry.
However, the Earl of Fremont was caught between the aristocrats and the commoners, and was in a halfway position.
If you side with the commoners, the nobles notice it, and if you side with the nobles, you’re worried about the Marquis of Kienmeyer, whose estate is adjacent to you.
Originally, the Earl of Fremont was undoubtedly a member of the aristocratic faction.
However, he is next door to the writer after Kienmeyer, and after losing a bet there, he became friends with Klaus and accidentally got caught between the Marquis Kienmeyer and Klaus.
In that gap, little by little, little by little, the perception of nobles and commoners changes.
And as the Second Continental War broke out, when the Marquis of Kienmeyer surrendered, he surrendered along with him, but instead of the nobles, it was changed to cover the commoners.
As for the Earl of Fremont, it’s okay if he’s there or not.
Something is missing if you don’t. Shall we say that the talented person who is in charge of the human self-government later becomes a little regretful.
It was so difficult to find a noble with administrative ability, rich experience, and sympathy with the common people, so it was better for the Earl of Fremont to be accepted along with the Marquis of Kienmeyer.
That’s why Klaus also treated him well.
“Earl of Fremont though? I want to praise that person. He treated you well.”
As a bonus, he succeeded in planting a good image in Yulia as well.
Although she didn’t have a particularly good opinion of humans, Julia was also giving good reviews to those whom Klaus considered okay.
“I’ve heard of you, and seen it many times in the academy, but I really can’t help but understand the human nobles. How can you be so confident when you haven’t done anything well?”
“I don’t want to give in. You don’t like to give it up. They are afraid that if you back down even a little, they will keep backing back and backing away and eventually giving it all up.”
“I don’t mind. If they are confident about the position, and if they are confident, isn’t it normal to not worry about that in the first place? To worry like that is already a disqualification for the ruling class. You should think about what you can do for them, think about what they can do for you. Foolish bastards.”
In response to Yulia’s sharp reaction, Klaus quietly asked a question like this.
If such bastards surrender to you and swear to be your subject forever.
What if he could take the West faster because of that?
At Klaus’s question, Yulia said haha? He sighed and shouted that there was nothing to say.
“I assure you, even if those idiots surrender, even if it means giving up all of my land, they will clean it all up. You can clearly see the demands they’ll make when they surrender, right? Just let them keep their place. Please continue to be above others. I will ask for that.”
“Perhaps.”
“I tell you not to talk nonsense. I don’t need such idiots in this next age I’ll rule. Only those who know their place and can use their abilities to the fullest to fill the empty seat of the king remain.”
“Then…”
“You have to clean it up and clean it up. I’ll wrap it up to the root so that it doesn’t appear in this world again.”
Hearing Yulia’s words, Klaus laughed inwardly.
She tried to violate her first, then her disrespect to her others.
In the end, it became clear that there would be no benefit whatsoever.
The fate of the nobles was decided by that, and they probably won’t be able to rest in peace even after they die.
“How the nobles who boasted that they were doing well in the East were swept away. I hope the day comes when I show it to the idiots of the West. That too, as quickly as possible.”
I agree with you, Demon King. I want to see that too.
Klaus whispered that while looking through the carriage window.
Perhaps by now, he would have received news that he and the Demon King were heading to the city.
And, there will be guys out there ready to do the worst stupidity, seeing this as their chance.
