Episode 79 ― Everything is to be loved more (1)
“Don’t you dare forget that your lives are in my hands.”
With the Emperor’s smile, all powers were in full bloom.
‘Politics’ advised.
Now is the decisive moment when you have to show everything you are.
‘Overwhelm’ chokes everyone,
‘Miheun’ paralyzed the rationality of female demons.
Soon the banquet hall was filled with various groans.
Fear, horror, sadness, pleasure, instinct.
Nobles had to endure a lot.
While the power of words created by ‘charisma’ paralyzes the normal thinking of nobles.
‘Appeal’ conveyed both Roan’s wrath and benevolence to their brains and hearts.
— Whether you choose to rebel or choose to be loyal.
The choice is yours.
And the results are also yours.
Decide wisely.
Some, feeling the sincerity in Roan’s voice, eventually fainted from his strength and wrath, while others burst into tears.
‘Will’ whispered.
You are strong Have mercy now.
Isn’t your justice for the weak?
Everyone’s pain felt by ‘detection’ and ‘listening’
Roan’s wrath was allayed.
Roan took a deep breath.
After blinking once, his purple eyes didn’t have the same vicious look as before.
The banquet hall was a mess with people who sat down or collapsed. But no one had time to look back at the people around them.
A trembling woman’s voice quieted the banquet hall filled with sighs, sighs, and cries.
“… To your merciful majesty, I swear allegiance.”
Standing by Roan’s side, Aranya bent her six legs as she spoke her lord’s obedience.
Her huge belly hit the floor.
The torso of a human hanging above her waist also bowed deeply toward her emperor.
“To Your Majesty who has shown mercy. I swear allegiance.”
Eastern Emperor Zhu, who was watching the fight from behind Roan, knelt down on both her knees and put her head on the ground.
An attitude of absolute loyalty.
The Grand Duke of Seohyeol, who was standing with him, also bent his legs and sat on the ground.
“Your Majesty with everything I have. I swear eternal allegiance.”
Inside the hall, surrounded by noble ladies, Erenea lowered her body.
The Southern Dark Spirit Lord, who would normally have glared at her daughter with her irritated eyes, could not.
He gritted his teeth, barely holding on to Roan’s sharp gaze.
Soon, voices pledging allegiance were heard here and there, and everyone fell on their knees.
The nobles at the banquet hall realized that the emperor had their lives in his hands, and that they were able to sustain them only through his mercy, and felt grateful.
In that moment
Roan became the perfect emperor of all nobles.
No resistance or questioning was possible.
All the nobles absolutely surrendered to Roan’s words, understanding and accepting his words into their hearts.
While everyone in the banquet hall lowered their bodies, the last one to swear allegiance was the lord of the Southern Dark Spirit.
He was the Dark Duke.
His high-pitched voice trembled with fear.
No one had ever heard of him,
It was a choking voice.
“At the mercy of His Majesty… Thank you… I swear allegiance… Your majesty.”
[Ahahaha, wormy things, dare, to Roan! Ahahahaha, Roan, next time! Kill me next time all right? Bugs, kill them! I’m listening Roan is so kind.]
Hearing Fiora’s madness and nagging, Roan only laughed lightly. Along with her sound effects, Fiora’s likeability skyrocketed.
“I accept your allegiance.
Entertainment would have been enough. Let the rest of you enjoy yourself. I’ll be back soon. Don’t look for it.”
After seeing Fiora’s affinity rise to +55, the emperor left the banquet hall, leaving everyone behind.

“… I’m tired. I want to drink soju.”
The garden was quiet.
It is a place where people who are tired of banquets should hide here and there to enjoy a tryst together with the sound of music coming from afar.
However, due to the commotion earlier, all the people in the garden went into the banquet hall. Because there is no more interesting story than the incident that happened in the palace.
And got caught up in the incident and Roan’s skills.
It was only belatedly that some nobles appeared in the garden for some fresh air, and the sound of music began to be heard again.
So Roan avoided them and hid deeper into the back garden.
[… Why are you hiding?]
“… Oh fuck… I want to smoke too.”
[Today’s Roan was really cool!]
“You seem to like blood too much.”
[It’s a sword, isn’t it natural? It’s my reason for being. Roan cared for me too much.]
“… Uh… Hmm…”
[The feeling of being soaked in blood is, ah, so ecstatic. It is an experience that cannot be described in words.]
Fiora’s groan in the middle of her words was so full of lust, much to Roan’s dismay.
Roan’s footsteps suddenly stopped.
[Hmm? That…]
“Lauka… ?”
I called in a low voice, but the forest fairy, who was looking down at the garden from the wall in the far corner of the castle, looked back at Roan.
Roan lightly jumped on a wall over a meter tall and sat down next to Lauca. Lauca was blowing a bottle.
“… There was a commotion inside, but I left Grünent there…”
“Helen is there.”
“Helen must protect me.”
“Your Majesty has a knight commander.”
“…”
Lauca looked at Roan, who was sitting next to her. They were in the dark, but both had no problem seeing each other.
Lauca frowned slightly.
“It was kind of upsetting. What’s wrong with your expression?”
“I’m tired.”
“What.”
Roan snatched the bottle from Lauca. Lauca frowned even more, but Roan gulped down her drink from Lauca’s.
“… Big, I’ll live a little. You can’t even drink much, and you’re so strong.”
“How often do you drink? What happened?”
Lauca silently shook her legs hanging down the wall.
“I think I ran away because I had a headache, Your Majesty.”
“What.”
“I mean the fiancée.”
Roan, who was about to drink again, looked at Lauca while holding the bottle.
“A little… Strange.”
Roan let out a sigh at Lauca’s evaluation. Okay. A little… It’s odd and weird.
However, Lauca’s expression was serious.
“The aura of power is strange. It’s not magical power, it’s not even holy power.”
“She is a strong warlock.”
“… I know because I heard it. I know…”
Lauca was silent for a moment, until Roan took a few more sips of her drink before concluding her words.
“I just think you better be careful.”
(Former) After the Demon King, it is the second.
It’s really, it’s not good to have a common opinion like this, not just one person.
But what to watch out for?
Roan put one hand on his head.
It is unknown whether her headache is due to alcohol, or if it is because of all of her worries.
“You said something to me, and Your Majesty is pathetic, too.”
“Mmm.”
Lauca retrieved her bottle and took a sip, crushing her arrogance. Roan asked.
“Why are you here alone?”
“I am tired too.”
Lauca let out a sigh of relief. She smelled of strong alcohol.
“They said they were going to the forest.”
A forest fairy who hates going to the forest.
A little funny, but she was serious.
Roan replied lightly.
“Are you afraid that her magical powers will be taken away? You just need to guide me in moderation.”
“No. Just a forest… It’s been too long.”
“Hmm?”
It was a difficult word to guess.
Roan waited silently for her words.
Since she was Lauca, who was not her main target in the game, she does not know her past.
She is just rescued by Helen, and persuaded by Grünent, she becomes a hero’s ally, and she only wants revenge on the demon king.
Lauca let out a sigh of relief.
Her likability is still -20.
To her, Roan is still a reluctant opponent.
“… Why am I talking about this to His Majesty?”
Roan carefully focused on ‘Miheun’.
I am used to concentrating my skills on one point now. Fortunately, Lauca did not climax, and she looked at Roan with a hazy expression, pushed by the strong ‘Miheun’.
She has formidable resistance. It could also be because she is a forest fairy with a natural resistance to mind control. However, Roan’s skill is also strong.
It’s difficult to make her dedicate her body, but you can make her pour out her heart to Roan. With her sigh mixed with the smell of her alcohol, Lauca revealed her true feelings.
“Do you know what my name means in the language of forest fairies?”
Roan shook his head.
Lauca smiled bitterly.
“It’s ‘The Devil’.”
Roan unknowingly frowned.
Lauca looked out into the distance in the garden.
“Eye color and hair color are very different from other forest fairies. I have a name given to me by my family, but that disappeared the moment I became independent.”
Roan was speechless at her heavy words. He just listens in silence.
“We originally met our own people in the forest, wandered among other tribes, and learned knowledge from the elders. That’s how I wander the Dark Forest and the Moira Continent. But there was no one of my kind to teach me.”
Roan couldn’t bear to ask why.
But as if she had heard his question, Lauca answered with a bitter smile.
“Because I feel bad. A dark-eyed forest fairy who is not even compliant among all her white-haired or blonde-haired people. Someone started calling me Lauca.”
She took another sip of her drink.
“And that became my name.”
For a moment, her upper body staggered.
Worried that she would fall, Roan tried to reach out her arms, but surprisingly, she managed to rebalance herself and return to her place.
It was a dangerous prank.
“That’s why I didn’t learn much from my own people. It wasn’t until later that I started learning skills from a fellow human hunter who was hunting near a human village. Although she learned about hunting and the forest, it would be unreasonable to compare her to other forest fairies who spend decades or centuries learning from their own kind.”
“Then they…”
“Hmm. The demons ate all my teachers.”
The cold winter’s wind chilled their cheeks.
It was a temperature that made the breath freeze, but the hot bodies of the two did not cool down easily.
Was it because of the alcohol?
Was it because of anxiety?
Or maybe it was because of the tears.
Both Roan and Lauca’s cheeks were hot.
It was Roan who spoke after a while.
“You sound like a devil.”
“What… ?”
“The devil… A person like me who made the demons like that is the devil. You deserve to be called a king or a demon like me who left people alone and ruined human life.”
Lauca widened her eyes.
“Are you the devil? There’s no way. You are just an ordinary, insignificant forest fairy.”
Suddenly feeling drunk, Lauca stared blankly at Roan with her mouth open with her dumbfounded face.
“You will still be better than me.”
Roan laughed.
“The only thing I can rely on in the forest now is you.”
The instinct of a forest fairy that senses danger without getting lost in the forest will find a way even in the dark forest that rejects both humans and demons.
Roan also faced Lauca.
And suddenly a loud beeping sound. It was a sound that no one else could hear, but Roan involuntarily let out a small sigh.
I want to turn off the sound…
Doesn’t something like an on/off function appear as a perk?
That hope disappeared the moment I saw the number.
The sensitivity level soared steeply.
Exceeds -10,
0 degrees passed.
Roan’s eyes flickered as he looked at Lauca, to be exact, at the number beside him.
Lauca’s feelings for Roan as well.
It shook wildly.
The number stopped at +10.
Cheeks flushed red from alcohol,
It started to glow red enough to be evident even in the dark.
Roan was taken aback by the sudden rise in favorability.
‘Miheun’, which was focused on her, spread out around her as if the air that had been forcibly gathered was dispersing.
“Ah…”
Lauca drew in a short breath.
She touched my cheek with her hand, which was not holding her bottle.
It was hot.
“… Lauca, no, then your name is… ?”
“… Sleep well, Your Majesty.”
Lauca put her bottle on top of her wall and jumped off her wall with one hand.
Even though she was drunk, she disappeared with a nimble body.
The beeping sound went away together.
