Chapter 320 – Chapter 31 – Return
When the proclamation ceremony was in full swing.
Klaus took a step back and watched the event the others were preparing.
Ferdinand from the demon side, and Darnell Kienmeyer from the human side.
Beastmen and fairies also helped prepare for the proclamation, but there were no figures comparable to those two.
‘Did those two later get along well in their own ways?’
They do not reject radish at all, but they do not revere it too much.
In addition, the talent he has is clear, and he is good at distinguishing between enemies and allies.
In the meantime, the funny thing was that both of them were quite friendly with Klaus himself.
He later took the initiative to weave Darnell Kienmeyer’s daughter and Ferdinand Else’s son together.
Humans and demons who are facing each other right now.
Their relationship should quickly recover, and they should no longer be wary or hostile.
In order to do that, it is necessary to set an example for the upper heads.
The best way is to mix the two races little by little.
It was said that trade, free travel, and love and marriage were the best.
“…”
Yulia, who is standing in front of me and watching the preparations, comes into her eyes.
Even with a swollen stomach, the demon king is directly handling all the work without any sign of difficulty.
He even surprised the people around him by sparring with Kayla on the way back.
It seems that he is trying to imprint his strength on the members of the guards on the prisoner side.
No matter how iron-blooded it was, the viewers couldn’t help but be quite concerned.
You’re fine, but think of the child inside,” He once said.
Every time that happened, the answer that came back was, ‘I don’t intend to raise my child weakly.’
Raising strong is something that can be done once you are born, and then later.
Anyway, it was Yulia who was stubborn and subtly strong in the strange part.
After falling from the window, I sit down in front of my professor’s desk.
And she looks around the room for a while, lost in her old thoughts.
I struggled for over 10 years to sit here.
No, if you add up to this episode, you suffered hundreds of times more than that.
There were no fatal mistakes like in the early episodes, and there were no minor flaws after adapting.
After polishing and refining to near perfection, we have come this far before we know it.
‘Was this episode really good?’
This was good enough, it’s safe to say it was perfect.
No one was killed or injured, and no one could not be killed.
I took care of all the people I could hold grudge against, and left those who might be needed later.
All that’s left now is to relax and enjoy the rest of this episode.
Finally, I was able to enjoy the flow of a boat floating on top of the passing years.
“What do you think?”
Natasha, who was sitting in front of her, tilted her head and asked that question.
Leaning against the window a little while ago, and burying herself deeply in the chair.
Klaus, who didn’t say a word with his eyes closed, somehow felt strange.
What should I say? Should I say that it seems like it will disappear at any moment?
“It’s nothing. Just thinking about the old days.”
“Were you thinking about the First Continental War?”
In response to Klaus’ answer, Kaela, who was sitting next to Natasha, cautiously opened her mouth.
For her, Klaus said that it was all her old thoughts, so it was natural.
But the old days he thought of her were things she couldn’t even imagine.
“Everyone. Coffee, tea, and refreshments have been served.”
Planche, who prepared a tray full of refreshments and drinks, came forward.
Originally, it was correct that both Kayla and Planche were by Yulia’s side.
But now that Yulia was doing other things, and that it was uncomfortable hanging around with other people inside her academy, she bit them briefly.
‘Well, the truth is, you just want me to stay by your side for a while. It’s because the two of them suffered a lot during that time.’
Both Caela and Planche could be said to be Klaus’s people, if you insist.
And because Yulia had an inseparable relationship with him, she took the two together.
That’s why Yulia took care of them so that she would be by Klaus’ side for a while whenever she could afford it.
“Everyone come and listen. Klaus too.”
“Miss Cecily. Welcome.”
Then Cecily, who was standing in front of the bookshelf looking through the magic books Klaus had been looking at, approached.
It would be all about seeing her close combat ability as slightly above average.
The head of the LeBlanc family, whose ability to handle magic has grown to the level of Klaus.
Of course, whenever she competed with Klaus in her magical skills, it was Cecily who lost on purpose.
In particular, every time Klaus tapped his body with pure magical energy.
I didn’t use defensive magic on purpose and enjoyed being hit so that my tears would fall.
Klaus is Klaus, but Cecily herself is also very busy.
Tasks to take on as an aide to Julia in the affairs of the LeBlanc family.
And now that he was going to study fairies and new magic, of course he was running out of time.
What time is it? Of course, isn’t it time to be punished by Klaus?
So it was Cecily who used her magic sparring as an excuse to unravel some of them.
Klaus is well aware of that, so he doesn’t bother to end the sparring with a long-distance fight.
He was condensing mana and directly damaging the body.
“Are these the cookies that Chief Chamberlain Planche made himself?”
At Cecily’s question, Planche nodded her head.
Even Yulia said that the homemade cookies she made were excellent.
So, from Cecily’s point of view, it was possible to enjoy refreshments that only the king could eat.
Natasha, Cecily, and Kayla.
It was very interesting to see the fairies, demons, and beastmen sitting together like that and enjoying refreshments.
“Flanche.”
“Yes, Klaus.”
“You can also sit down and rest together. Anyway, if I go by Yulia’s side, it’s going to be a lot of talk again.”
At Klaus’s words, Planche did not refuse and quietly sat beside them.
Of course, rather than enjoying refreshments, I always carry a kettle in case there is not enough tea or coffee.
As soon as the cookies ran out, I got up and brought more cookies that I had baked earlier.
“Lir. Sit too.”
“To? Oh, no. I am…”
Everyone in this room is the closest aide to Demon King Julia.
Natasha and Kaela can be seen as political partners because they are in a position to draw the loyalty of fairies and beastmen, respectively.
Cecily and Planche are in charge of very important tasks within the demon society or within the demon castle.
Lastly, Klaus is absolutely indispensable to Julia to the point where no further words are needed.
On the contrary, Lir himself is a person who is enough even if he does not exist.
He is in charge of collecting external information and reporting it to the Demon King family.
But it is also something that can be done to other characters.
And Natasha, Caela, Cecily and even Planche.
All of them are strong fighters who have reached almost the highest level in melee combat ability or magic.
Lire, on the other hand, is barely above average in all respects.
So it was only natural that she waved her hand at Klaus’ proposal and rejected it.
Because I don’t think I deserve it.
He thinks that just being by his side is enough.
Standing in the same place as them, sitting in the same space, seemed to make my heart feel stuffy.
“Are you going to make me say it again?”
However, when those words came out of Klaus’s mouth, Lire involuntarily flinched and trembled.
After being taught several times at the academy, Klaus had never treated him harshly.
On the contrary, there were a few times when I felt anxious because he treated me so gently.
In the meantime, she heard the scary words she heard at the academy again at the academy.
It was Lire who was looking at Klaus with a frightened face.
And soon she let out a sigh of relief.
“… Ah.”
The voice was definitely not different from then.
There was a smile hanging over her eyes and lips.
Only then did Klaus say that once in a joking tone.
Recognizing that she was taking care of herself, Lire cautiously moved her steps.
As she approached her side, the other women gave up their seats too naturally.
Lire didn’t ask about the fact that she’s not an aristocrat or that she’s just a normal demon, or what kind of job she’s doing.
As soon as Klaus accepted Lire, the women naturally allowed her to come.
“Somehow, all the people I met at the academy gathered together.”
“Iknow, right. When I first met Klaus-sama, I tried to do something nonsensical to bring him into my family somehow. Just thinking about it… Ugh, what was I about to do?”
“I wonder if you’re here now because you did that? If it wasn’t for that, I wouldn’t have cared.”
At Klaus’s words, Natasha replied with a smile, ‘Is that so?’
“Come to think of it, I didn’t know that Klaus-sama was scary at that time, so I started sparring with magic…”
“That’s right. Cecily, you were treated badly by Klaus-sama back then.”
“Is it? I don’t know if it is now, but I heard that it was quite weak at the time.”
Maybe it’s because we bumped into each other a lot at the academy.
Natasha, Cecily, and Kayla started talking to each other.
Lire sat quietly beside her and listened to her story, and she laughed at funny stories, and when something slightly dangerous came up, she sighed, “Uh huh?”
Finally, Planche was clearing out the glasses and plates in the meantime.
“…”
Klaus, who had been watching that scene, opened his mouth slowly after a while.
“Be more tense from now on.”
“Yeah?”
“Now is the real beginning. Perhaps the previous days will feel like vacations.”
No wonder.
Since Yulia’s territory almost doubled in an instant, the number of visits to her subordinates naturally doubled.
In addition, there are not only one or two things to be concerned about, so it is inevitable to be distracted.
“Yes, Klaus-sama to us…”
“I will rest. From now on, it’s just like a limit. With the title of Demon King’s Companion.”
“To? No, Mr. Klaus?! He said he’s going to be very busy right now, but Klaus-sama is going to take a break…”
To do that, I gathered you and the others neatly and put them next to Yulia.
Muttering to himself, Klaus closed his eyes.
Of course, as I said to the women, I really have no intention of doing nothing and pretending to be dead.
They just need to work in the sun, where others can see them.
In a place out of sight of others.
All you have to do is lead the demon king quietly, using that shadow as a parasol from behind Yulia.
And the next day, the demon king’s proclamation ceremony to finally announce the unification of the continent was held.
