Chapter 45 – Chapter 45 ― Everything Belongs to Your Majesty (5)
Episode 45 ― Everything belongs to Your Majesty (5)
The inauguration ceremony of the state-run corps was grand.
The mere appearance of an emperor who did not show his face at an official event became a huge topic.
Those who were invited to the inauguration ceremony of the upper guild were able to tell stories just as much as the people who had a strange experience in front of the City Hall.
— Do you know what GDI means?!
— It means a collection of precious things. It is said to be an abbreviation for gold, dragon, and iron.
— Maybe such a meaningful name!
– Oh my god. How beautiful were His Majesty and the concubine.
— It’s not easy for the four members of the small group to gather at once! Lilon-nim doesn’t go out often.
The aristocracy and the upper classes were excited.
The emperor and a human concubine named Fusang Danju.
And the four high-ranking aristocrats of the small council that control the country.
It was the first time I’d ever seen them sitting together. The emperor had never appeared at the annual New Year’s festival.
“In a way, it’s really easy.”
Baron Grave said to Grunent.
“If it had been Arteala, there would have been an uproar in the existing business association, saying that it was oppression and oppression.”
“Because Evirgio is a country maintained by Your Majesty’s strength.”
“I felt it. That’s why I’m careful about teaching too. Are the cultures different?”
“I understand, Baron.”
At the top of the merchant building, Baron Grave smiled. I couldn’t help but smile when I saw the numbers written on the papers.
GDI Trading Co., Ltd., A state-owned merchant company, sold a huge amount of wheat from the first day of its opening. Stock was sufficient. It was because there was so much wheat that it was impossible to hand over all the sheep to the private upper management from the beginning.
There was no need to drastically lower the price. It just had to be cheaper than the price of wheat on the market.
It’s like when you run away from a bear, you only need to be faster than the person next to you. Just sell it cheaper than him. There is no need to give up this reading.
Thanks to this, the wheat, which was more expensive than the original market price, was sold like wings.
Automatically, the price of wheat at the private upper end went down, and only then did GDI lower its selling price.
Even wheat sacks had the following inscription:
‘It was founded by His Majesty himself, who could not forgive the mercenaries for playing with the people with food! Trustworthy wheat sold by state-run stores!’
This cut off another rumor that the guild might spread to the people.
“I only saw Your Majesty for a short time.”
Grünent waited for the Baron’s next words.
“He seems to be a person who cares about the people very much.”
At those words, Grunent smiled.
“Sure. I think so too.”
“You seem to be a very different person from the rumors I’ve heard so far.”
Grünent was fully aware of what the Baron had left unsaid. She was a word she had also heard at Merde.
Mad dog. Headsman. Tyrant.
Enemy of mankind. A man worthy of the title of king.
A man who eats cannibals and is mad with blood.
Devil.
However, the appearance he has seen in the months since he was taken out of the dungeon is very different from that evaluation.
“Yes. He is thoughtful and meticulous.”
“Then why didn’t you do this before?”
It was Baron Grave’s sharp question.
If he was originally like this, he would have had to act like this at any time, but why come now to correct internal affairs and engage in diplomacy?
“Do you think war will be disadvantageous?”
However, Grünent is one of those who knows Merde’s military situation better than anyone else.
She shook her head.
“It’s difficult for me to fathom all of His Majesty’s feelings. When I first came to Evirzio, I was also locked up in a dungeon.”
Her baron looked at her with her surprised eyes.
“They said that demons don’t put importance on justification. While staying here, I felt a lot that this was the case.”
“Oh, sure.”
If there is a need for justification, it is absolutely impossible to create a state-run corps in three days.
“I also haven’t been able to see His Majesty in person before, but they say that his personality suddenly changed.”
The friendly Demon Handmaidens used to talk.
Suddenly, His Majesty became generous.
Yeah, like
It’s like people have completely changed.
And guess what the reason is.
“Embarrassing… , Though. He said that his personality changed a lot after meeting me.”
“Hoo.”
Baron Grave exclaimed at the sight of Grunent dyeing her face red.
Grünent is definitely a charming woman.
In order to occupy her, she is a demon king who changes her mind overnight.
It’s hard to take for granted, but it’s not hard to accept.
With Grünent, if Evirzio has enough troops, she can even capture Merde’s capital and then she can set up a queen.
Because she has her authenticity.
But Grünent was candid.
“But even when she called me from the dungeon, she was already thinking of her dying people. Even then, he was thoughtful, outspoken, and had the confidence of a loser.”
The baron looked at the face of the girl he fell in love with and swallowed a groan at the freshness of her.
“When I first met you, Your Majesty was already a perfect person. I don’t think it happened because of me.”
“You don’t have a knack, Your Highness is still.”
At the words of the Baron mixed with sadness, Grünent only laughed. Her Baron also refers to something similar to the words her Roan gave her last week.
She’d have a chance to be queen.
But now her people are the people of Evirgio.
Both demons and humans. If you stay here, you will become a citizen who enjoys life under His Majesty’s protection. And he himself helps such a majesty by the side.
That made her happy.
“Huh, you should watch it to the end.”
It may be that managing the upper ranks in Evirgio makes more people happy than the dying queen of Merde.
It was then. Someone knocked on the door
“This is Naor.”
A staff member knocked on the door of the office at the same time as usual to report the morning situation.
“Come in.”
The girl’s face disappeared, leaving only the administrator’s face. Grünent sat in the seat of honor and looked at her demons as they entered the office.
Her black horns and purple eyes were similar to His Majesty’s. I’ve heard that demons with horns aren’t common.
Did you say that he was a collateral descendant of the lord of a distant region, a high-ranking aristocrat? The demons, like His Majesty, also had black hair. He smiled and handed out the report.
“This is the sales report for this morning. And I have attached the information you asked me to investigate.”
“I get it. Anything special?”
“There was a truth, and there was a heartwarming story.”
“Hmm?”
Grünent’s blue eyes stared at Naor.
The young demon on her smiling face faced her.
“What would you like to hear first?”
Baron Grave’s eyebrows twitched, but strangely, Grünent didn’t hate Naor.
Maybe it’s because he looks similar to His Majesty.
Her Majesty’s concubine isn’t Bibin anyway, and it doesn’t matter if the manager of the guild is a little comfortable talking to her staff.
Grünent decided not to classify this as disrespect.
“Let’s hear the bad story first.”
“There was a guy who said he was disgusted with people walking around and would catch and kill them all, holding fire magic and installing them.”
“… That?!”
“There are still people like that.”
Surprised Baron Grabbe and sighing Grünent.
Hatred of humans is not something that can disappear overnight.
At least, most of the people who practice in this upper rank are demons. Most of the humans are still learning from Baron Grave.
There are only a handful of people who worked as merchants in Merde in the past. They are working with the demons at the upper level.
Demons are strong, so if the demons were together on the first floor, humans would have been protected.
“How did it go?”
“I was immediately taken away by the guards.”
“What about the damage?”
“Doesn’t exist. Coincidentally, all but one person in the store on the first floor were our demons.”
Noticeably, Grunent was relieved.
“Something good news.”
At Baron Grave’s urging, Naor replied with a smile.
“That, you have to go down and see for yourself.”
*
“So, that’s all.”
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
Grünent pointed to the flowers, fruits, and other offerings piled up in front of Roan with a refreshed expression.
An amount that a person cannot even hold in one armful. The things that overflowed to the front of the top were carried on two carts.
Some of the dogs smelled like fur or carcasses, so they were sorted out to be groomed separately. Except for that, that’s about it.
Roan felt his heart swell.
“But. Why all of a sudden?”
“Among the wholesalers who bought the wheat, there was a place where the words written on the wheat bags were hung.”
Grunent explained in an excited voice.
Considering her normally calm voice, this is rare.
“Since one place boasts of selling His Majesty’s wheat like that, it seems to be fashionable for you and me to put up that bag.”
“Ah.”
Lauca exclaimed in admiration.
“Until then, there were occasional people who came back with one or two flowers, but somehow, today everyone came back with an armful of something. There must be a reason.”
Diobe said in a voice mixed with laughter.
“Is that too?”
Grünent widened her eyes.
“Yes. Perhaps, while looking to see if it’s okay to pay tribute to the top building, some deliver it to a nearby human. Some leave offerings in front of buildings. It looks like that.”
“Awesome. You’re as popular as a goddess.”
There is no hint of sarcasm in Lauca’s voice.
The lady-in-waiting had said this before.
The demon king is like a religion.
However, the demon king had never revealed herself to her demons.
A demon king who has neither political action nor going out of the castle.
That’s why, in the eyes of the people outside the castle, the Demon King may have felt like a ghost story.
However, the demon king actually moved.
Bare your body, make a top,
They even move for the purpose of feeding themselves, she said.
The work in front of City Hall has already become a hot topic among the people. It was the emperor who proclaimed, ‘I will not leave you weak’.
And he proved it.
To put it in an extreme analogy, it would have been similar to the experience of someone like the apostle of God in the scriptures coming out on the street to preach and provide the people with the most necessary food.
“Hmm. Thank you.”
“Of course, I love His Majesty’s restraint like that, but you can be a little more happy.”
Grünent pouted.
I’m really happy!
It’s just a little embarrassing.
Roan smiled slightly and said.
“Flowers decorate the castle, and half of the fruits and animals are sent to the chef. The remaining half should be shared between the humans and demons who work together.”
“Thank you. Your majesty.”
Diobe, who stopped by the castle to report after a long absence, bowed his head.
Beep-beep-beep, her favorability rating, which has risen slightly, is now +12.
“Still, I’m glad Grunent looks good after working. It’s still difficult for me to escort you from the outside.”
It is difficult to protect Grünent from the outside because Laukai has only half of his power unlocked.
After releasing some of her powers after her favorability rose to -25, as an anecdote I heard here today, after her beeping beeping sound effect, the favorability is -20.
Grünent’s liking of her certainly seems to have a good influence on her.
“Yes. She will have all her powers back soon.”
Grunent’s permission is required for Lauca to gain her powers, and Grunent is waiting for my permission.
Grünent knows that Lauca’s repulsion towards me has noticeably diminished. Perhaps she, too, thinks it’s right to wait a little longer.
“I think Lauca will still need some time to get used to the culture of her demon people. Wait for me.”
“Um, yes. It would be a nuisance if I shouted out that they were demons there.”
Thank god. You have that kind of awareness.
I don’t know if it’s okay in front of me.
Grünent was startled, but Lauca already knew that I would not take offense with such words.
“Yes. After all, there are family members of those who have a small meeting. You have to be careful with your words.”
Lauca nods her head.
Aranya, who already has a large clan, involved her own family in the process of finding practitioners of her order.
She gives birth to 200 children at a time.
So only hundreds of her children she gave birth to herself.
In addition to the secretary who helped her with her work,
From the reconnaissance team pursuing the rescue team to the management of the clan, everything is done within the clan, she said.
Thanks to that, it was a GDI company that easily found practitioners, but the inside of the building seemed a bit cramped with large Arachnes.
“Then, shall I just get up?”
“Yes, Your Majesty. I will see you with Helen.”
“Hmm.”
Grünent said and lowered her head.
It took about 10 days for the top to grow.
Helen had already stayed in the castle and started helping Roan little by little.
Her likability numbers are, surprisingly.
+20.
It was the result of hard work and luck.
Literally, God help.
