Chapter 289 – Chapter 28 – Don’t Get Caught
Several days had passed since Klaus left the castle following the army moving to the front.
Yulia, worried that she would overturn the order, did not meet Klaus on the day he left.
Of course, he immediately regretted having such a mind, and even thought about pursuing it now.
It is said that Klaus has already left the castle and headed towards the allies advancing to the border of the empire.
‘… You’re too fast. He said he didn’t want to go, but it would have been nice if he had acted a little late.’
Although Klaus said it was to faithfully carry out his orders.
When he really left so quickly, I felt somewhat saddened.
I honestly said that I didn’t want to go, but honestly, wouldn’t it be foul play?
He expected to subtly disobey his orders or be late.
Apparently, this man hadn’t thought about that part at all.
I let out a small sigh and carefully stroked my stomach.
The life inside me is still very weak, but I feel it clearly.
In a small way, he is the fruit of love between himself and him, and in a big way, he is the only heir to become the king of this continent.
I didn’t know if it was a son or a daughter yet, so I had a lot of thoughts.
What should be the name, will it resemble his father a lot or will it resemble her mother a lot. From such trifles.
Until the slightly distant future, what kind of king he will become when he grows up.
“Majesty. We have brought the materials you requested.”
The door opens and Planche comes in with an armful of papers.
The documents are so packed with content that it makes my head dizzy just by looking at them.
I don’t know the details, but looking at the outside, it seemed to be about the kingdom’s financial condition.
Looking around, Yulia frowned and immediately started checking other documents.
Then he would go through the two documents one by one and let out a sigh.
“Disgusting.”
The information collected by Lire and the Red Tarantula side.
Among them, of course, there were records of taxes collected by nobles and taxes paid to the royal family.
As a result of the investigation, less than half of the amount of tax collected was actually sent to the national treasury.
With this, he managed to survive the First Continental War and endured until now.
No matter how much it is about my land, the noble has priority.
The territory they have is the land of the country that was eventually bestowed from the royal family long ago.
It is to the extent that you can see through the documents that he did not achieve this by shedding blood and sweat, but simply inherited things, boasting as if he were a king, and ruining the country with such things.
‘How on earth did Klaus fight with the East for seven years with these guys?’
I’d rather not say if these things helped.
I heard that he kept framing Klaus and even kicked him out of the commander’s post once.
And it is said that half of the south has been captured and destruction is just around the corner.
Not only did he endure with these scum, but he finally achieved victory.
Is that really possible as a human being? Whether it’s a human, a demon, or whatever.
No matter how brilliant you are, it seems impossible, but is it possible?
It was natural for Yulia to ask such a question.
At first, she even doubted him very briefly, because he was so brilliant.
It was strange that such a person came not to anyone else but to himself, to himself who had nothing.
But at some point, I relied on him, and then I tried really hard and tried hard, feeling the desire to show this man something.
After she went beyond that she wanted to be recognized and she wanted to be the woman this man deserved.
Lastly, she had such a desire to become a king that she could bear this man.
‘… But I really want to be able to do that. It’s so amazing.’
Yulia, who thought so, ah! She let out a sigh and quickly slapped my cheek.
She couldn’t believe she was already worried about something that could never happen!
Having even the slightest doubt about the subject who had come this far thanks to Klaus was to admit that he was just like those disgusting nobles.
“Majesty? Are you having any problems?”
Planche, who was standing quietly next to me, sneaks up to me.
The demon king who was looking at the documents suddenly slaps my cheek, so of course I can’t help but be surprised.
Yulia was about to tell her that she was nothing, but she said something different.
“Flanche.”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
“What do you think of him?”
“I couldn’t understand what you were talking about right away.”
“Klaus, this is what you think of that man.”
At the sudden question, Planche blinked his eyes and slightly lowered his head.
A gesture of not knowing what to answer.
At that, Yulia smiled and waved her hand as she continued her words.
“There is no need to be burdened. I just want to be honest and hear your thoughts. You are my chamberlain, but weren’t you once his maid? Just in case there’s something I don’t know while living close to you, I’m just curious, so please feel free to tell me.”
“…”
Planche, who was silent for a moment longer, raised his head slightly and answered the king’s question.
“Majesty.”
“Yes.”
“I dare not speak of the companion who stands by Your Highness’ side.”
“…”
“Sorry.”
I don’t know what to say, but Julia understood at once what Planche meant by saying that.
That man belongs only to you, but he is a man looking at you, but what is he worried about?
No matter what other people think about him, no matter what they say, no matter what they say.
In the end, Yulia herself was saying that her thoughts, opinions, and words were everything about her.
Even if the world doubts him, if only I believe in him, there is no problem.
Even if the world has no thoughts about him, if he thinks otherwise, he will be betrayed and disappointed again as before.
Planche’s simple words spread like that in Yulia’s head and heart.
“… Ahaha.”
“…”
“I can understand why Klaus suddenly brought you in as a maid. And why did the former chief chamberlain decide to leave the position to you?”
“I apologize.”
“No. Rather, I put you in trouble by asking a very foolish question. I hope you will make it clear that nothing happened just now, Chamberlain Planche.”
“I didn’t hear anything, Your Highness.”
At Planche’s words, Yulia couldn’t help but smile once again.
She said that the owner and he were the maid, and it certainly occurred to me that Klaus couldn’t have chosen a maid just for looks.
Putting aside the documents she was looking at, Yulia slowly stood up.
As Planche sneaked up to me with the meaning of why, the demon king said it was natural and put on the outerwear he had casually draped over the chair.
“It is an outside inspection. I want to go a little further this time.”
“The guards…”
“It’s cumbersome. I think one of you will be enough, Planche.”
“… Okay. If not, I will make preparations quietly.”
Originally, it would have been natural to stop the king from doing such a dangerous thing.
However, from Planche’s point of view, there was no reason for that, and he knew that Yulia’s skills were so high that even he himself could not dare to intervene.
And he had already heard from Klaus that if Yulia tried to go somewhere, she wouldn’t block or escort her, she would just have to do simple tasks.
It could be said that Planche, who was prepared to faithfully carry out whatever Klaus said, had no reason or justification to stop Julia from inspecting it.
Today, he planned to leave the castle and inspect the nearby territory.
When she was with Klaus, she was Yulia, who openly showed herself, but now she was refraining from it.
Because once the demon king appeared, there would be uproar in either a positive or negative direction.
After a while, the back door of the palace opened and Julia and Planche quickly escaped.
And someone secretly kept an eye on it and sent a telegram somewhere.
Whether she knew it or not, Yulia was preoccupied with appreciating the scenery around her.
The West looks similar to the East, but feels oddly different.
As for the climate, it definitely felt a little better to live here than in the east.
It’s just that the climate is good, but those who rule the land are those with serious flaws.
So it is a land that has become a more difficult place to live than the East.
“Are you planning to visit the people of the kingdom again today?”
“Yes. Most of the nobles are gone, so we’ll see how they feel about the vacancy.”
At Yulia’s answer, Planche nodded her head and handed out the pass to those guarding her estate.
They were soldiers who were suspicious of the identity of the two, but for now, there was no problem with the pass, and since the aristocrat who was originally in charge of this place had disappeared, there was no one to punish them.
After being warned not to cause trouble, the two women went inside and looked around at a place that was very small compared to Wangseong, but had its own rules and a place to live.
“The land is obviously fertile and the transportation is good, but everything else is outdated.”
“Isn’t it inevitable that exploitation is severe?”
“Even if it’s a goose that lays golden eggs, you should think about feeding it so that it lays eggs. It’s no different than constantly pestering you to lay eggs.”
Clicking her tongue with her sincerity, Yulia went a little further inside.
The territory was still very quiet, as there were many people who had fled because the war had swept through them once.
Yulia looked around her for a while, expecting that this place would flourish again someday.
“Mmm.”
She sighed once, then suddenly smiled and smiled.
Then she suddenly patted me on the stomach and said, ‘Baby. Don’t be alarmed and watch her,’ she murmured.
Immediately after -.
Kwajik!!-
Her Yulia’s hand swung once, and her wavering magical powers danced in her hand.
As the houses and walls built around it collapsed and split in two.
Half of the last remaining bugs began to scatter as pieces of meat that were crushed on the spot.
“What, what!”
“Bah, has it been discovered! Uh, where is the exposure…”
Nobles who could not get out of the kingdom or were barely able to escape and hide themselves.
I managed to get the information from the few people I planted in the palace.
Right after that, he gathered all the soldiers and knights who could fight and entered the territory.
I couldn’t sneak in, so I killed all the people who were standing on the guard and the villagers passing by, and then followed me, but all my efforts were so easy to get caught.
“Exposure? Ah, exposure. Planche, you suffered. Pretending not to know.”
“It was nothing.”
Responding like that, Planche secretly held out the sword she had been carrying in her arms to Julia.
As Klaus once said, in the early stages of pregnancy, you feel a little depressed or frustrated, but those who will help you solve it will appear on their own, so you just have to wait and see.
Recalling that part, Planche said ‘I’ll block the area to see if anyone escapes’ and disappeared on the spot.
“Okay then.”
Pulling out the sword Planche had given her, Yulia smiled so brightly.
Even if it wasn’t, I wasn’t sure that all the bugs would have run away.
I really never imagined that he would rush at me like this without even thinking about showing me a gap.
Klaus, who had endured with these idiots, felt brave once again.
“I’ve been frustrated for a while, but I need to get rid of it in this way.”
Why Yulia was called a blood-crazed demon in her previous installments.
Even if others now do not know at all, perhaps they will.
Watching my limbs being cut and scattered everywhere.
