Chapter 331 – Extraversion 3. Getting Along Well
Several years have passed since the entire continent was unified by the Demon King.
During that time, there were many conflicts and many incidents.
Many people had to suffer to suppress them in the early days.
And one of those who suffered that hardship was the human male sitting in front of Klaus now.
“How are you today? Darnell.”
“Compared to the beginning, it’s so good. In a few years from now, I don’t think there will be any need for an autonomous territory anymore.”
“I guess so. It’s only a self-governing territory, but at some point, the gates open wide and accept everything and accept the rule of His Majesty the Demon King.”
When the continent had just been unified, anxiety on the human side was quite high.
In such a situation, if you blindly tell them to be at ease and try to hug them all, problems will arise.
For this reason, Julia made the Marquis of Kienmeyer the human side’s self-governing territory.
For some time after that, humans who could not easily accept the demons gathered there.
And gradually, as time passed, the Dominion that had been installed gradually became blurry.
Now there is no reason to be wary of the demons.
Previously, they had different kings and different ruling classes on top.
Since the two races were clearly ‘enemies’, it was natural to harbor enmity.
But now they are the same people with one king and one power over them.
They realized that it is much better to live in harmony among themselves and in community with each other.
In the beginning, it was very cautious and slow, but as more time passed, many things improved.
Even without pressure from above, we recognized the need from below and started to take each other one step at a time.
“Ah, is your nephew doing well? It’s a position I prepared the hard way for.”
One behind-the-scenes work for harmony between humans and demons.
To set an example from the top by linking human and demon nobles through in-law relationships.
Julia was the first to connect with Klaus and opened the beginning, followed by Darnell Kienmeyer and Ferdinand Else.
It was meant to connect each other’s son and daughter, but Klaus built a bridge between them.
He was close to both Darnell and Ferdinand, so that was quite possible.
“Ah.”
Darnell smiled at Klaus’ question.
“At first it seemed reluctant.”
“You said you didn’t like it?”
“Yes. Anyway, the opponent was a demon, and the opponent my father fought to death was also a demon. Maybe it’s only natural that he didn’t like it.”
“It’s a little regrettable. To think he didn’t like it.”
Then Darnell shook his head, saying, ‘You should listen to everything people say.’
“I told you. It was like that at first.”
“What do you mean?”
“Since then, as time passed, I realized that people’s minds change very easily. Do you know what it is like now? He was looking forward to the day when he said he would meet that woman. The guy who said he didn’t like it at first. Seriously, I can’t understand those bastards anyway.”
At Darnell’s complaint, Klaus laughed loudly.
Of course, the woman he introduced was the daughter of the Else family.
And the woman’s father is Ferdinand, who even came to visit her even though the battle was in full swing during the First Continental War in the past.
His friendliness and good personality must have resembled his father.
And those parts seemed to shake Darnell Kienmeyer’s son’s heart.
“That’s how it is with a relationship between a man and a woman. It seems like nothing at first, but then you are drawn to it.”
“It seems that you and His Majesty the Demon King were like that too, right?”
“Ugh. I think it would be more correct to say that it was a case of being dragged away by His Majesty the Demon King.”
“You’ve got more jokes, Klaus. Are you being dragged? Aren’t you dragging it?”
This is Darnell Kienmeyer, who has known Klaus since the time of the First Continental War.
In his view, this man was never a great person to be attracted to.
Even if the opponent is a demon king wielding absolute power.
He was only being dragged on the outside, but in reality, he would have been dragging him without realizing it.
“It’s something you don’t know even if you know the world. I really didn’t know it would change like this.”
“This is an alumni.”
As they exchanged words, the two men took a sip of coffee.
“I feel like I’m barely getting the frame right now.”
“Right. In the meantime, I was busy setting things up and fixing them.”
“I heard that His Majesty suffered a lot. When you get back, take good care of him.”
“Danel. His Majesty the Demon King is not a child, what is he reading? The only thing I will be able to do is the princess.”
“Come to think of it, is the princess mama well?”
“You are well. You’re so good, it’s Tal. I fight with my mom every day.”
And then Darnell Kienmeyer sighed! I spit out a little bit of the coffee I was drinking.
The Julia he remembered was all about the dignified absolute monarch.
I couldn’t help laughing at the thought of him arguing with my daughter.
“Hmm, hmm. Sorry. Klaus. I don’t know why I burst out laughing all of a sudden.”
“Why? It’s because I can’t imagine. At first, I also wanted to see what I was seeing. I did too the first time that woman had a fight with her daughter.”
Of course, right after that, she was hit right in the back by Yulia.
What’s so funny about not stopping her daughter and just laughing?
“Did you say vacation?”
“Yes. A little longer this time About a month?”
“One month? Claudia will be looking for you a lot?”
By the way, the fact that Claudia, the current princess and her next demon king, takes care of her father a lot is a fact that most people who are in contact with the central power know.
After Julia gave birth to Claudia, she focused a little more on governing than child rearing.
The reason was because she was in the early stages of continental unification, so she couldn’t leave her seat even for one more day.
As a result, she took care of Klaus and Kaela, and the handmaid Liri, Lir’s younger sister.
Because of that, Claudia was following those three best.
My mom definitely likes it too, but it’s a stage where she can’t say that she doesn’t have a sense of distance at all.
“I need to get along well with my mother now. And now that I’m not as busy as before, Yulia will have some time left. She needs to stay with her mother for a while, so I, her dad, feel comfortable too.”
“You sound like you’re saying you want to go out in a strange way, Klaus?”
At Darnell’s point, Klaus burst out laughing and said, ‘Did you get caught?’
“Where did you plan your next destination? Maybe fairy territory or beasts…”
“I have already been there.”
“… Did I hear wrong? What now?”
“I’ve already been there.”
Then, it was Darnell Kiennemeyer who made an absurd face.
It’s not a place where you can reach your nose if you tip over, and it takes weeks to get there, no matter how fast you go.
However, the man in front of me has already circled both places.
“… I bet you’re not the kind of person to joke about something like that. Did you really go?”
“Because it is. I have already confirmed all the public sentiment there.”
“If so, how were the fairies and beastmen? Did something happen?”
“At all. Rather, they are quieter than humans.”
“… Naturally, I thought those two races would get the most backlash.”
“At first everyone thought so. However, as time goes by, none of them are as easy as those two races. As much as the strengths are clear, the corner to enter is sure.”
The fairies’ high egos were cut off through an appropriate compromise.
The unyielding spirit of the beastmen is simply overwhelmingly broken, and it is enough to make them respect the strong.
Other methods have been tried, but have been found to be the most effective.
“I should go soon.”
“Are you going back now?”
“No. Not that. I have a few more places to stop before that.”
“Why does Hyuuga look busier than usual?”
“That’s not right. Rather, being in the castle was a hell of hell. Darnell, you know? I’d rather just be out and about than at my desk.”
Klaus got up from his seat and left Kienmeyer’s castle after a brief greeting.
He was doing his job very well, befitting a human friend who put a lot of effort into it.
While he was in charge of the Dominion, he behaved well so that more words would not come out for no reason.
The place Klaus, who was running at breakneck speed, arrived at a store in a city.
Upon seeing him step inside, a woman approaches with a bright smile.
“Welcome, guest. Are you looking for something?”
“You used to be an inn employee, but now you’re the boss, Jenny?”
“… What are you talking about?”
“Let’s stop giving passwords or anything like that. Do I have to do that knowing everything?”
At Klaus’s words, the woman in charge of the store, no, Jenny, who is in charge of the first group of the red tarantula, let out her saliva and slightly lowered her head.
There are only two beings in the world who can make exceptions in finding themselves.
One was Demon King Yulia, and the other was the man in front of her, the benefactor of the leader.
“Are you here to see the captain?”
“If I’m not coming to see her, why would I find her here?”
“… Coincidentally, she’s with that woman. She wondered if she was looking for him.”
Klaus already knew who the woman Jenny was talking about was.
Even so, he pretended not to know anything and only told me to guide him.
“Follow me.”
“Should I still go underground? His Majesty the Demon King took it out at best.”
“Do not worry. It was very inconvenient for us to use the underground passage every time.”
That’s good news.
Klaus muttered that and followed Jenny.
