Chapter 293 – Chapter 28 – Don’t Get Caught
“My lord. These are letters from other families this time.”
“What was written on it?”
“Most of them want you to respond to the call for troops again for the glory of the fairies.”
“They say that we will die together is very cool. I explained it so you could understand it.”
It is none other than Natasha who clasps her forehead while kicking her tongue as if she is dying of shame.
This time, he became the new head of Belarus, but it could be said that it was a case where he took the position almost by force, rather than being appointed as the head of the family by blood relatives as before.
Why is the word ‘almost’ attached? It is because although she brought down the former head of the family by force, there were many people who acknowledged her position as the head of the family, both inside and outside the Belarusian family.
Because of that part, other fairy families could not easily hostile Belarus.
Is it thanks to the release of a very simple yet effective deadly poison called ‘money’?
Natasha was receiving a powerful support she had never felt before.
‘I expected it, but I didn’t expect it to be like this. In the past, I would have never imagined that even fairies would eventually succumb to material abundance.’
To be honest, it is true that Natasha was also a Gingamin.
Klaus said, if you spend enough money, you will naturally have allies.
If you think you’re in danger, the people who received the money will step out.
In response, Natasha asked why they would step in when she would stop as long as she took the money anyway.
At Natasha’s question, Klaus said this while holding back a sneer.
‘She said that if she betrayed her, it would soon be revealed that she was attached to her, and that if she thought about it, she would think it would be more beneficial for her to take my side like that and receive more support in the future.’
In fact, many fairies thought and acted that way.
She did not betray Natasha by conciliation or intimidation from the other families, but instead she rejected them and insisted that Natasha be the worthy head of Belarus, so she should acknowledge her.
Thanks to this, when the allied forces were destroyed and only the prisoners of Belarus returned safely.
That’s why even when the public sentiment of the fairies became fierce, Natasha was able to stand tall.
If you guys are envious too, tell us to be friendly with the devil, and if you bend your pride, the devil will treat us like that. Why do you keep raising your head when you show such kindness?
In the end, the fairy families decided to hand over all Belarusian affairs.
Of course, it is not completely over, and when this war is over, we will touch Belarus again.
But now, it was clear that there was a very high probability that it would collapse from the inside, so it was clear that there was an opinion to be self-respecting.
“How many troops are they requesting?”
“They say the enemies are right in front of them, and they ask for all but the minimum troops to protect the family. Of course, all those who are resting after being released from captivity this time.”
“It is too much. Those who barely came back alive from that devastating battlefield, didn’t they drive them back to the battlefield instead of taking them out to the rear? Do you think we will accept that?”
“In my opinion, it seems that they think they will not accept it. If Belarus doesn’t agree after making such an unreasonable demand, wouldn’t it be used as an excuse for not cooperating with the fairy society once again?”
“What do you think? Do you think we should accept that request?”
“… Tell me what would you like to do?”
The elf man now standing in front of Natasha, reporting, was in fact a member of Belarus who had barely returned from a previous battle.
Originally, he would have had to spend a hard daily life working in the kingdom with other fellow countrymen, but due to the mercy of the demon king, he was released along with other Belarusians.
Having already been on Natasha’s side before, he completely turned to the reconciliation faction after that incident.
Those who don’t know anything yet say that they can break the demons enough if they do their best.
At that time, the main argument was that there was no earnestness to protect our land, and the command was divided because there were beastmen, and the battle was difficult because there was also a kingdom army that betrayed.
Thinking of those words made the fairy in front of Natasha want to rip off her snout.
It is the old fairies of the family who cry out for war, but it is the young people like himself who are dying.
Why should they be the ones who shed blood in the war they decided?
They will never know, perhaps forever, until they die.
How strong the demons were, and even though they were in an advantageous situation, everything turned upside down with a single twist and collapsed like a sand castle swept away by the waves.
And this time, he thought, the odds of that happening were very high.
“Honestly, my personal opinion is the opposite. Let alone sending the survivors back, I think it would be better to just ignore their request and wait. However, this is just a personal opinion, and if you think of Belarus, you will have no choice but to come forward.”
“Because no one knows what the future holds. You are right. No matter how confident you may be, this is the land of fairies, and nothing good can come against their wishes.”
Natasha nodded and gestured that it was okay to go.
As the male fairy bowed her head and disappeared outside his office, Natasha let out a sigh and leaned back against the back of the chair.
According to the latest news, the demons occupied the imperial castle and divided the troops into two, with one unit remaining in the imperial territory and the other unit running straight to the front of the fairies’ territory.
The person in charge of them was Ferdinand Elsera, a demon who had made a decent achievement in the previous 1st Continental War and was said to have broken through the southern part of the kingdom in this 2nd Continental War.
‘I’m sure Klaus-sama was also involved, but after the imperial castle was occupied, traces of it were cut off.’
Of course, the person that the fairies are looking for as a person of interest is, of course, Klaus.
It is said that it is Ferdinand who holds the full power, but he is most likely a deceit.
It is said that after inducing carelessness and making the troops move carelessly, they can go out right away.
In fact, one of the people who directed the rotation in the previous battle was Klaus.
In other words, he is the person who completely annihilated the Allied Forces, which consisted of the elite of the elite.
Naturally, the fairies had no choice but to be more wary of Klaus than Ferdinand.
However, it is said that Klaus disappeared at some point.
He is not visible in the barracks, he is not by Ferdinand’s side, and he does not seem to be hiding anywhere.
So the Fairy Scouts expected that he was staying in the imperial castle or that something had happened and he had returned to the occupied kingdom.
“… Lonely.”
The moment Natasha thought of Klaus, she uttered those words without realizing it.
She, of course, is surprised by herself, and she mumbles, ‘What am I doing?!’ In a panic.
People came from the window, and soon giggles were heard.
“No matter how lonely you are, don’t do it alone, Natasha. The head of a Belarusian family should still have some noble parts, and if you get caught doing it alone, there won’t be a case as disgraceful as that.”
As soon as he heard those words, Natasha reflexively grabbed her sword and slashed her body away from her.
Although the odds are slim, someone dissatisfied with themselves could send an assassin.
She’s Natasha, who never thought she’d ever be victimized by anyone, but she knows that assassins wiping me is one of those things that even experienced fighters have a hard time detecting.
Because of this, I always kept my sword by my side in case of an emergency, but it was Natasha who suddenly thought of this as she slashed her body.
‘… Do assassins sometimes speak before they can even throw their daggers?’
When her thoughts reached that point, Natasha immediately lowered her sword.
Until she said her words, she was so capable that even she couldn’t detect the sign.
However, it was light as if he had come to drink a cup of tea, not for the purpose of harming himself.
Lastly, a voice that can never be erased, clearly embedded in the brain.
“… Klaus.”
“You’re having a hard time, Natasha. When I came here to look, the fairies were gnashing their teeth at you.”
The man who said that flew over to her and lightly hugged her.
I know very well that it is Klaus who rarely reveals her true feelings first.
However, when the man approached and hugged her first like this, Natasha could feel that her long-awaited and hard work were rewarded at once.
A fairy woman who smiled happily and felt the warmth of the man she missed so much.
But she soon remembers that there must be a reason he found him, and she rushes out of her arms.
“… Ahhh. Sit. I’ll make you a cup of tea.”
“Then would you like a drink?”
Klaus sits in Natasha’s seat very naturally.
Meanwhile, Natasha brewed her own tea and set it down right in front of him.
Steam rises and a fragrant smell rises that cannot be described in words.
I don’t know exactly what kind of car it is, but it was clear that it was a top-notch car.
“Try it. It is a tea that only Belarusian heads of state drink, but it is so good that it cannot be compared to the tea we had at the academy.”
“… That’s right. I’m not much of a tea fan, but this is really nice.”
As Klaus said, Natasha is like that, right? She does and she smiles broadly.
Then she crept up in front of him, put her chin on his lap, and began to look up at him in silence, like a cat begging for a quick pet.
As if not betraying the fairy’s expectations, Klaus reached out and stroked Natasha’s hair before gently touching her cheek.
“It’s not long now. Everything will be over within two months at the shortest, four months at the longest. You’ve had a lot of trouble doing my unreasonable favors, Natasha.”
“No. On the contrary, I really enjoyed it. I really never imagined that I, who was a troubled child in my family until recently, would take the position of head of the family by force and even receive recognition.”
“It makes me feel a little bit relieved when you say that. It is true that I am still sorry.”
Click-.
Klaus put down the teacup and stood Natasha up.
Then, without adding any exaggeration to her, he lifted her featherweight woman, put her on her lap, and pulled her right in front of her.
“Ah…”
“What. I must have been starving quite a bit, but I didn’t try to do it right away.”
“K-Klaus-sama is now the companion of His Majesty the Demon King… I thought that if I hugged other women carelessly, I might get in trouble.”
“It doesn’t. I have no choice but to do that. But this isn’t the Devil’s Castle, and it’s even less so that Yulia is nearby. More than anything else, since you’ve worked so hard, you should be able to receive that kind of award. I think Julia would say the same.”
Of course, the expression on his face would be sloppy, so he would pout his lips.
On the other hand, Natasha bit her lip, as if she was definitely troubled by Klaus’ words.
All this time, I had endured and endured, waiting for him to finish all of this quickly.
She could have spent some comforting time alone, but she didn’t want to.
What should I say, it’s like waiting for you but you can’t stand it and it feels like cheating?
“Eww…”
Klaus smiled while looking at the fairy woman who was at a loss for what to do.
But he soon straightened his expression and began to explain why he had come this far.
“Natasha Belarus.”
“Yes, Klaus.”
“Do what they want, what the other fairies want. Bring troops back from Belarus.”
“Ah…”
“Instead.”
Touching Natasha’s lips, Klaus continued her speech.
“You will definitely get paid for your sacrifice, so go out strong.”
