Chapter 600 – 50. Epilogue (Main Story)
[Epilogue]
A unified nation that was born for the first time in thousands of years in the history of the continent and may never exist again.
The most powerful people in such a country are demons, not humans, who make up nearly 90% of the continent’s population.
As it is, it is natural that problems will constantly arise not only during the occupation process but also during the rule.
However, even though a month had passed since the end of the Great War and the declaration of the establishment of a unified nation, the continent was peaceful.
This meant that even though small incidents and accidents occurred all the time in various places, there were no major problems.
There are many reasons, but the three biggest ones are:
The first is, of course, the cooperation of the upper classes and nobles of each region.
Except for the now former empire, all countries surrendered without a few battles.
Some were left unattended as compensation, and others were left to be dealt with all at once once things stabilized.
Unless it was out of patriotism or pride as a human being, the nobles with estates were complying.
Second, the common people are enjoying a life that is not much different from before or is slightly better.
Unlike the demons of the past, who started by plundering the land and then moved on, the new demon king’s army was different.
On the contrary, they did not see any reason to resist since they provided various support to poor places.
Anyway, if you live your whole life in one territory, you will never meet the king or a noble from another place, and it is no different now.
The first two reasons are big, but the third reason is especially important.
The goddess.
Under Valdes’ orders, the goddesses and angels abandoned the heavenly world, which was not particularly productive, and came down to earth.
Just one goddess was enormous, but on top of that, about a thousand angels supported the demons, more specifically the demon king Valdez.
Except for many high-ranking priests and some factions that believed only in the goddess, the goddess’s support had a tremendous effect.
It was a goddess religion believed by 70% of the population living on the continent.
For various other reasons, they, who came to be called the Demon King Army and now the Demon Kingdom, were having busy days.
Crunch, crunch, crunch.
“This is a report from Castle Ulstro.”
“Hmm.”
Thud.
“…?”
“And this is from Northern Command…”
“Wait, wait.”
“Yes? What’s going on, Your Majesty the Demon King?”
Valdes put down the pen he had been busy playing with just a moment ago.
“Irena.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“Is this right?”
“Huh? What do you mean…”
“It’s too much work.”
At his words, the succubus secretary Irena gave an expression of confusion.
“Isn’t that natural? No matter how much we filter it out, it is coming from all over the continent. Even more so in the early days of the founding of the country. In fact, there are fewer than expected, so the secretariat is working with joy.”
“You’re happy? Really?”
“…I’m not that happy, but it’s not to the point where I’m crushed to death by documents.”
“I feel like I’m going to die.”
“Don’t be harsh. This too was filtered out by the secretary’s office, reducing the number by nearly half.”
“Ha.”
The continent was peaceful.
Rather, because of this, the leadership of the Demon Kingdom, including Valdes, as well as the former queen and queen who continues to rule each region, and the president of the Senate, were having busier days. No matter how much was prepared, the task of uniting the continent’s administrative system and the entire country was by no means easy.
Most of the ministers and civil servants from each country, except for Dejaque, were inherited as is, but Dejac, who was excluded, is especially problematic.
Since nearly half of the administrative capacity of the largest region on the continent was empty, filling it was not easy.
In the end, there were many people, including the third and fourth children of an aristocratic family who had been hiring people from all over the region for a few days and living alone due to lack of positions, members of other races who had turned their sights outside due to the open policy, demons who came out to see a new world, and commoners who graduated from the Imperial Academy. Came in
Thanks to this, the former Imperial Castle of the Dezak Empire, that is, the Second Demon Castle, which is being newly expanded and renovated, was crowded with various races.
“Oh, shit. If I had known this would happen, I would have prepared in advance.”
Valdes sighed, placing her hand on her forehead.
“Isn’t this the best preparation?”
“No, not that one.”
“Then…?”
“Subordinates who will beat up my work.”
“…”
“Because we don’t have enough manpower, I have to work like this. I want to rule, but I don’t want to rule.”
“You are too greedy. There is still a mountain of work for His Majesty the Demon King to do.”
At Irena’s words, the Demon King turned his head and stared at her.
The succubus secretary shook her head as his eyes stared intently at her face.
“No. Please pick up the pen and finish the job quickly. But shouldn’t you leave the office before 9 o’clock today?”
“I can’t do anything else because I have a lot of work to do here, Irena.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about, but it’s busier here.”
“Hmm. As a demon king who rules the entire continent, wouldn’t it be important to produce descendants?”
Irena’s body trembled at the temptation that was not Valdez’s temptation.
True to his word, she hadn’t had sex for over a month since she had some casual fun during the war.
Of course, since Valdez has a lot of women, I deal with her once in a while.
But that didn’t mean Irena wasn’t lonely.
“I want to concentrate on that job.”
“…Joe, please be patient. You will soon be able to relax once the manpower is replenished and the system is established to some extent.”
“How much is a little?”
“It will take at least, um…Three more months.”
“It’s terrible.”
Valdez grabs the pen again while making a disgusted expression.
If it’s something you have no choice but to do anyway, it’s better to get it done quickly.
Of course, I don’t know how much work will increase after this, but for now, isn’t the 6m high document in front of me all there?
“Irena.”
“Yes, Your Majesty the Demon King.”
“Let’s say I work until 9 o’clock. What about you?”
“I… I think it will take a little longer.”
“Really? Then let’s work overtime a little longer and leave work early tomorrow.”
“Tomorrow…”
“Yeah. I have to go to Ventorino today anyway, but I’m free for dinner tomorrow.”
“…Yes. I’m ready, I’ll do it♥”
Irena smiled brightly and mischievously at the words of her one and only mistress.
After finishing the report, the succubus secretary immediately returned to the secretary’s office.
Even though there is only one door left, Valdez is left alone in the room.
He was busy playing with his pen again, but when he couldn’t concentrate for some reason, he got up and stretched.
“Whew.”
Valdez suddenly approached a window in the corner of his eye.
Outside, I could see a vast city.
Even though he had seen it several times over the past month, the emotion was still fresh.
The administrative capital of the yet-to-be-named Demon Kingdom, which was an institution only half a year ago.
The official capital is located in Mawangryeong, but since it is located almost in the exact center of the continent, various facilities, government offices, and institutions are being established here for convenience.
Because of this, construction was already underway everywhere.
Originally, it would have been difficult because it was a place with a large population, but it was comfortable thanks to the rebellion that the three princes and princesses started at the same time.
As a result of the rebellion, many buildings were destroyed and many people left.
Even when it was just occupied, although there were people leaving, there were no people trying to return.
“It’s been a month. I still can’t get used to it.”
When will I get used to the scenery down there?
It won’t be easy as construction will continue to change for several years.
“…Okay, let’s get to work.”
After refreshing himself, Valdez returned to his seat and devoted himself to his work.
That’s why it took several hours.
He ate dinner in his office and was able to finish work a little after 8 o’clock.
“Good.”
Valdez finished signing the last document and immediately stood up.
The devil is busy every evening as he has women in various places.
Yesterday I spent time with Sylvia after the Demon King in the Demon Territory, and today it was my turn to go to Ventorino and play with her three mothers and daughters.
“I’ll go first, so thank you for your hard work… Huh? What about Irena?”
As he greeted the secretary’s office, he tilted his head.
“Irena went out to work for a while because she had special work to do.”
“This time?”
“Yes.”
“Really? Is it because I’m doing something today that I’ll have to deal with tomorrow? Anyway, I get it. Thank you all for your hard work.”
“Yes. Please enter carefully, Your Majesty the Demon King.”
“Okay.”
To save time, we traveled to Ventorino by magic.
In the past, such long-distance movement would have required assistance such as a magic circle, but now it doesn’t matter.
This level of power was not unreasonable for him, who had reached the realm of a god rather than a demi-god.
“Tsk. I’m here. I’m here pretty early…?”
Valdes blinked his eyes.
“Oh.”
“Uh, huh? What, I haven’t heard from you yet?”
“…I’m here now.”
“Oh my. Being too competent is also a problem.”
For some reason, everyone gathered at Ventorino Castle, where Katarina and others lived.
Every.
Starting with Silvia, the demon queen who is the true wife and is about to give birth with a full stomach, Irena, who was in the room next to her just a few hours ago, her dark elf twins, the four mothers and daughters of the Kingdom of Ulstro, and so on. All his women and children.
All the women who come within the scope of the Demon King’s family, that is, the royal family, are in one place.
Valdez was confused, but the phrase written on the banner at the end of his field of vision convinced him.
“Birthday.”
“Hehe. Yes, it’s your birthday, West.”
“Birthday… Mine?”
Hehe! You must have been very surprised.”
Silvia approached Valdes with a mischievous smile.
The others seemed to have decided on their order and were waiting behind them.
“It’s a little early, but happy birthday, dear lady♥”
Valdes was genuinely surprised.
The Ma people have almost no culture of celebrating birthdays.
Moreover, since he was also an orphan, he was not the type of person to care about such things.
“I see. It was today.”
Ten years ago now.
The warrior who led the war to victory was betrayed by the party members and fled to the place where the Demon King was hidden.
There, he asked Demon King Sylvia to take her revenge, but what she gave him was not revenge, but the forbidden Reincarnation Liquor.
As a result, Hero Pedro was reborn as Demon Prince Valdez.
“Everyone… Thank you so much.”
Valdez hugged his women one by one, starting with Silvia right in front of him.
It was the best day.
