Chapter 31 – Episode 31 ― Nice Face, Bad Attitude (4)
Episode 31 ― Nice face, bad attitude (4)
“… Yes?”
This time, without realizing it, it was Minoreus who asked the question. He soon shut up with a look of regret, but soon saw the triumphant expression on the faces of Liron and Schikwiena and was frustrated.
Today he is the bet loser.
Lyron, Schikvienna, and Minoreus were betting.
At the meeting His Majesty is attending, the first person to ask questions will buy alcohol.
Schickbye I shrewdly chose to keep her talking down, and Liron tenaciously cut back on her questions in order not to pay her money.
That’s how they got used to the meeting with Roan.
The changed majesty explains to those who question. You don’t have to be afraid, just calmly wait for an explanation.
As expected, Roan’s explanation continued.
“I plan to send the letter with a prophecy.
An Evirgio’s ship will accidentally set sail on a distant sea.
They find the top of Arteala, laden with wheat, in that vast sea.”
The servants and Grünent, who were concentrating on what the emperor was trying to say, soon made an expression of amazement.
“Idiots are evil. They turn into pirates, capture the ship, and drag it to the port of Northern Baengnyeong.
However, at the command of the demon king not to kill humans, we have no choice but to keep them alive.”
It was Aranya and Grünent who kept their composure. The other three servants eventually opened their mouths.
The chancellor, who understood what the emperor wanted to say, accepted his words.
“Brave humans might be able to successfully escape by accidentally stealing one of the remaining demons’ boats. Coincidentally, the ship is full of golden coins that Artelains love.”
“As expected, the chancellor.”
“I will have to post that. Your majesty.”
“You are truly smart. Your majesty.”
Aranya’s humble words and Grünent’s admiration followed.
If the affinity level is +70, it will already start pouring out its affection on the other person without paying attention to others.
Grünent was revealing emotions that would normally be hidden without filtering.
Her face was slightly flushed with her love and admiration for Roan.
“Your Majesty must have had a way out of this situation in advance. I am truly honored.”
And she said that the four of the small conference ‘really have eyes on the human subject…’. It reminded me of the thought.
“In that sense, there is something that needs to be prepared.”
“What is it? Your majesty.”
“The last time I showed you the Eastern Yellow Spirit…”
It was then.
“Your Excellency.”
It was the first time someone knocked on the door of the small meeting room. Roan kept his mouth shut and made an unexpected expression.
But when she heard a voice calling her, Aranya’s eyes sharpened.
Aranya took one look at Grunent, then she bowed her head to Roan.
“I’m sorry during the talk. Your majesty. Intelligence has arrived.”
There was no further explanation.
And as soon as he heard that, Grunent turned to Roan.
“Your majesty. Sophie will step down.”
That attitude won the favor of your servants once again.
No matter how much a person follows the demon king, he doesn’t have to disclose all the political situations.
Trust doesn’t come overnight. Roan, who understood their reaction, nodded lightly and let Grünent back and let in a visitor outside the room.
The one who entered the room with his head bowed was an Arachne race like Aranya.
With a face similar to Aranya, she was said to be Aranya’s secretary.
“Speak.”
When her chancellor’s permission was granted, Aranya’s secretary started reporting, looking at the note in her hand.
“During the exploration mission of the ruins ordered by His Majesty, the exploration team headed northwest found traces of a group of intruders separately ordered yesterday.”
And for a moment, a suffocating pressure hit everyone who stayed in the small meeting room.
“Kuh…”
Aranya’s assistant, the weakest of those in the room, let out a groan as if vomiting her blood.
Only then did the ‘overwhelm’ diminish.
It’s been a long time since I realized what kind of power the demon king originally had.
Only Minoreus felt a sense of incongruity immediately after taking a breather, looking back at his memories.
Since he was the leader of the knights, weaker than the demon king, we couldn’t accurately grasp Roan’s achievements, but he was also a warrior.
He alone had a vague suspicion that the monarch had grown stronger in the meantime.
“I’m sorry. Stop focusing. Go on.”
The secretary, who had heard the Emperor’s apology for the first time, caught his breath before opening his eyes again.
Disrespectful out of embarrassment, she continued her report with her head bowed again.
“They seem to have crossed the border a day or two ago and are moving along the mountain range. Accordingly, the exploration team prioritizes the pursuit and capture of intruders over exploration missions, according to His Majesty’s orders.”
Roan’s eyes darkened heavily.
Will cross the border.
Grünent’s rescue party.
‘Anything that will happen will happen.’
A quest in which a warrior who was still a mercenary in the game first sets foot on the land of Evirgio, the demon kingdom.
Through that quest, the player and hero sees the situation of the Demon Kingdom for the first time, and also meets the main character, the princess, for the first time.
But Grünent is no longer in prison.
That’s why the appearance of the rescue team was also dubious, and they had told the Gateway Exploration Team the location of several places they passed through.
“We immediately requested reinforcements prepared by the captain, and some of our clan watchers also change their mission to pursuit.
When all troops are gathered and the terrain is deemed optimal, we will proceed with the capture. That is all.”
The hero is already Merde’s famous mercenary. He cannot be captured alive with flimsy troops.
It might be possible if there was only one hero, but the rescue team consisted of elite knights.
The strongest and fastest knights of the Order of Laurecia, the main deity of Merde, form the main axis of the rescue party.
And the main member of the rescue team.
Helen, the attacking character.
She is known as the ‘Saint’.
A friend who was clever enough to teach Grünent an ancient language, and a female knight with one of the greatest holy powers in the history of the Laurecia Church.
‘… Incidentally, great characters.’
Roan only knows Helen’s face as a CG. And most of her CGs were a reflection of her rather unique sexual orientation.
Helen is a masochist.
According to the players who specifically classified them, they were ‘slaves’.
She likes to be scolded and trampled on.
So, the Helen in the game that Roan saw…
‘… Prefer violence.’
Of course, that doesn’t mean she did it herself, it just means that she liked being victimized.
‘Because sexual orientation can vary…’
Doesn’t everyone have a little bit of sadism or masochism? Everyone has a different fetish.
Roan decided to try to understand her taste.
She is no longer a normal character, but a friend of Grünent and a human being to be appeased.
No matter how strong the warriors, saints, and knights were, they had no chance of winning in a 100:1 fight.
Even Roan had already informed the exploration team of their identities, skills, and abilities.
So in the end they will kneel before me.
After organizing his thoughts, Roan slowly opened his mouth.
“Certainly.”
It was the demon king’s voice that was determined like never before.
The waiting secretary bowed her head.
“You must succeed in capturing them alive.”
The eyes of Aranya and Minoreus were strange. Because His Majesty is going to get something from them.
But one thing was clear.
Whatever Your Majesty pursues, it will not be for Your Majesty alone.
Before they knew it, faith in the monarch was growing in their hearts little by little.
Therefore.
We have to succeed
It was the Chancellor who responded to Roan’s order as if he had promised.
“Yes. Your majesty.
Undoubtedly, I will carry out Your Majesty’s orders.”

“How was your day?”
“Hmm?”
“… It is a briefcase.”
At first, Grunent was far from desired, but love brings about a dramatic change.
For the first time in her life, she was thinking about wanting to look cute for someone.
A small round table in Roan’s office.
There were several chairs, but Grünent dared to stand by Roan’s side.
“Hmm.”
Roan smiled slightly and put on an expression that he didn’t know what Grunent was talking about.
Because Grünent’s aegyo is precious.
Then she hesitated a little nervously, and then she cast a back hug on the demon king!
Her swollen breasts pressed lightly against Roan’s shoulders.
“Lung… Ha…”
Grünent dragged her horse’s tail long and rubbed her cheek against the demon king’s head. Her unaccustomed aegyo was so awkward, but she was more determined to be praised by Roan.
In the end, Roan smiled, kissed Grünent on the cheek, and stroked her hair.
“Huh. You didn’t have to worry. Grunent. Good job.”
It’s such a pity that I don’t have a camera! I’ll have to ask later if there’s some kind of magic tool that does that.
“… Tsk.”
Surprised by the demon king’s laughter, Lauca looked at Roan without realizing it, then turned her head away with an arrogant expression.
But, funny enough, the likability value that comes to her side is -85.
Lauca, who had been pointed out by Roan about her escort attitude, pondered over the point several times.
In the end, I reluctantly said, ‘I really hate to hear what you said, but I can’t help it! Damn it!
Since then, Grunent has consistently said, ‘Your Majesty is a good man! It was also because she was injecting the words, “I don’t do it in bed!”
Roan’s prediction that by awakening her to her stance to protect her Grunent and keeping her by her side, she would increase her liking, eventually came true.
‘Once it went above -90, it was relatively comfortable after that.’
Since he had already gained the realization through Diobe, Roan decided to take it easy.
“Grünent. Sit now.”
At Roan’s soft words, Grünent sat next to him like a child who obeyed.
What was prepared on the table was a writing utensil for writing letters and a seal engraved with her symbol.
“Will it be in the form of a letter of recommendation?”
“Okay.”
Arteala has an acquaintance of Grünent.
They are in a state of having magic tools that have registered her seal.
And Grünent plans to seal the letter written by Roan and his own letter and send it to Arteala.
‘Every time I see it, magic is truly amazing.’
Roan’s expectations grew as it was a magical tool that had been mentioned several times in text even in the game.
After sealing it with a seal, he wrote down the coordinates of the magic tool he wanted and said that if he used the magic to deliver the letter, a magic bird (!) Would appear and bite the letter.
The speed is not very fast.
He said it would take a few days if it was about Arte Alla.
However, it is useful because it can carry parcels that are quite heavy.
Above all, it is amazing that objects between registered coordinates are ‘must’ delivered.
Even couriers in modern society are sometimes lost.
Of course, there are people who have followed the magic bird to the middle, but it is said that they cannot see where the magic bird rests.
Everyone ends up getting lost in the middle.
“Your Majesty, would you like a letter?”
Roan held out a letter and a small package he had written in front of Grunent.
It was something flat, square, the size of a palm.
Grünent received it wrapped in layers of thin wrapping paper and marveled at its lightness.
“Is this the copper glass?”
“Hmm. As a sample.”
Inside the letter was written not only the prophecy he had told the meeting earlier, but also the hope that Evirzio and Artela would continue to trade in the future.
In addition, there are many resources in Evirzio that Arteala desperately needs,
It is written that Evirzio is willing to trade that resource for something else.
Grünent, who was examining the seal after stamping it, suddenly looked up at Roan.
“Come to think of it, Your Majesty, by any chance what you said before is going on? As for giving humans work. I’m looking forward to it.”
“I see. I was told to look for the right execution time. I wrote down what I needed about it in the letter.”
Grünent’s eyes shone brightly.
She said encouragingly to Roan.
“I believe everything will go well as Your Majesty said.
You will surely be able to change the lives of people and people as much as Your Majesty desires.”
Not long ago, Grünent pitched an interesting idea. It was also the time when Roan was also contemplating the full-fledged use of humans.
