My shaking eyes met Klaus’ gaze.
Klaus took a deep breath for a moment and opened his mouth.
“……Yeah. It’s nothing special.”
It was Klaus who retreated first.
“Anyway, since I was alone, I thought about the young lady, so I came down to have a quick chat… I didn’t know that a guy like that would do dirty tricks.”
“How long have you been alone?”
To calm down the heated emotions blooming in my heart, I deliberately spoke in an unpleasant way.
Klaus narrowed his eyes at my reaction and then grinned.
“Yeah. It wasn’t long.”
I answered like that.
“Anyway, he’s the heir of Velenga, right? He’s similar to his father.”
I shuddered as I recalled the two father and son of Velenga who clearly showed their strengths and weaknesses.
Klaus nodded.
“I already needed to meet you once, but I never imagined we would meet like this.”
“You needed to meet?”
“The manager of the Western Guard is Golterror Velen.”
“Just by looking at it, it looks like there are going to be a lot of problems.”
There’s no way a guy like that would be good at anything he does.
There are trash who are good at their jobs, but those who are so self-indulgent and don’t know what’s going on are trash who can’t do their job.
Surely, if a guy like that was in management, a situation would have been created where the people in the Western Guard would decide to revolt.
It was a judgment based on extremely personal prejudice, but somehow it didn’t seem like it could be wrong.
Klaus’ attitude also supported my opinion.
“Yes. Even though he looks like he has a lot of problems, he is actually doing a lot of problematic things.”
“Those guys need to be replaced.”
“I agree too.”
Klaus nodded, and a shallow wrinkle appeared between his eyebrows.
“The problem, however, is that Count Belen is a shrewd man, so no part of the story that would be problematic in terms of the law came out.”
“Ugh….”
Klaus sighed lightly as his expression wrinkled as he thought about the loach-like Count.
“Of course, we can’t just leave it as is. If we do that, the guards might really turn into rebels.”
“You knew that the guards were showing signs of rebellion, but you left them alone. Is it because you expected something like this to happen?”
“It’s similar.”
Klaus nodded heavily.
“These are people who volunteered to do difficult work to protect the empire. There must be something wrong with such people turning their swords on the empire. What if they had voluntarily taken an evil path? The person who played a prank will escape and the guards “You can’t just punish them.”
indeed. That was correct.
I nodded slowly and looked at Klaus.
“Your Highness, you say such wonderful things.”
“I couldn’t protect it once, so I’m just trying to protect it the second time.”
“That’s a great line.”
He nodded and smiled at Klaus.
“You have to protect me too.”
It was something I said casually, but there was no response from Klaus.
what. Are you saying you won’t protect me? The moment I was about to play around like that, Klaus gently grabbed my hand and placed his lips on the back of my hand.
“I swear.”
“Oh, no.”
So far… … .
I tried to playfully deny it, but the words got stuck in my throat and wouldn’t come out.
I couldn’t take my eyes off Klaus’ boiling eyes.
I felt like my heart would explode again.
“……I stayed up all night.”
The next day, my eyes were bright red and bloodshot, and I muttered.
“You said you stayed up all night because you got a kiss on the back of your hand from that guy?”
“Yes! I stayed up all night because I got some of that!”
“It’s not like you had a hot night or anything?”
“You really don’t have a single part of you that is pretty except your face! Why do you talk like that!”
“evil!”
I threw the pillow I was holding at the unwelcome guest next to me.
gate crasher.
Mr. White, a self-proclaimed demon who has no beauty anywhere except his face, was hit by a pillow and rolled backwards.
he shouted irritably.
“You didn’t even do anything, why are you giving it so much meaning!”
“I kept giving meaning to things without realizing it, so I couldn’t sleep when I was trying to calm down, why?”
“No, what do you mean by putting your lips on the back of your hand? I’ll do it, I’ll do it!”
“No! You perverted bird! Don’t come near me before I break your beak!”
“He became very violent while I wasn’t seeing you?”
White retreated at my shout and said,
I said, waving the dowsing finder he gave me in the air.
“I was able to become stronger thanks to the gift you gave me, why?”
“This is not a treasure trove from the Demon World that was given to you to use like this!”
“The person who gave the gift didn’t even tell me how to use it properly, but the person who received the gift can use it however they want!”
Moreover, doesn’t this new baby suddenly come to visit you in the morning while you are staying at someone else’s house?
I just stayed up all night wondering if I was overreacting to Klaus’ kiss last night.
But suddenly White appeared in a place that wasn’t even our house and called me.
Do you know how surprised I am?
“I hope you put a soundproofing spell on your room before you come, otherwise people would have come running already.”
“Wouldn’t it be best if you didn’t do anything that would make you scream in surprise in the first place, you rude bird?”
“How long are you going to call me birdie?”
“It’s a new cub, so what do you call it?”
“Do you know who this body is?”
“They’re demons.”
“This body is the Demon King.”
White solemnly declared.
I thought about it.
‘What is he saying?’
“Ah, yes. Then you shouldn’t have pretended to be a cute bird when you first appeared.”
“That’s you…!”
White shouted as if he wanted to say something, but soon made a frustrated sound and pounded his chest.
uh? Is that the forbidden thing you mentioned before?
“Was that also a matter related to world secrets?”
“…….”
“That’s the problem, right?”
“……okay.”
White frowned as if he didn’t want to tell, but soon answered obediently.
According to White’s previous remarks, the great secrets that make up the world cannot be freely revealed to humans.
However, it was a needlessly complicated restriction that only the contents could be revealed if a person realized the secret on their own.
At the time, I was so embarrassed when I received this dowsing finder that I didn’t think much about it, but in some ways, I thought, isn’t this a good opportunity to get information?
“Okay, that’s good. Now, I’m going to ask you something I’ve been curious about.”
“What are you trying to ask?”
What is it? It’s a worldview setting.
Looking closely, I realized that this prohibition was quite lax, so even if I guessed that it was like catching a mouse while a cow is backing away, it seemed like he was evaluated as having realized it on his own.
‘For someone who has seen numerous worldviews in the Lopan database… … .’
If we throw a few scenarios together, how can we uncover the secrets of this world?
“First of all, there are Elyos and Demons in this world, right? And God exists separately as a higher concept between Elyos and Demons.”
“……Did you manage to find out that far?”
“Because there is an angel with a mouth.”
I nodded, remembering Duke Bruedel’s words.
“And the Elyos and Demons are not completely good or evil. How about this guess?”
“Yeah. I’m good.”
“I’m not sure if you’re good, but I don’t think the Elyos are completely good.”
White crossed his arms and nodded.
“Seeing you nod your head, it seems that Duke Bruedel is indeed an Elyos.”
“He was an Elyos.”
White’s answer was in the past tense.
I asked back.
“Are you sure you’re a human now? Or is the manifested being any different?”
White narrowed his eyes at the second question.
A strange glow appeared over his purple eyes.
“Elena Seves. Do you have a good feeling or are you lucky?”
“Both. So answer quickly.”
“Originally I wouldn’t have been able to give you an answer… but you’re lucky.”
The handsome boy’s face was distorted as if it had cracked. White soon regained her composure and slowly nodded her head.
“In order for demons and elyos to appear and operate in the human world, they need the power of God. In normal cases, God directly pours out his power on his creatures and sends them down to the human world. However, the elyos you call Duke Brudel is directly controlled by humans. “I wanted to be.”
“so?”
“Because I did not receive power from outside, I used internal power. Elyos and demons are ultimately creatures made of the power of God.”
Are you saying that you gave up your Elyos powers and became human?
Of course, Duke Bruedel felt infinitely human-like.
Although White is clearly a handsome boy and has a human appearance, it is often contradictory to the feeling that he is something other than the standard.
“So Duke Brudel is now a human-like being?”
“Yes. Because I put most of my energy into manifesting as a human. Of course, it looks like I have some left over.”
“Why did you put so much effort into becoming human?”
After asking that question, I said an idea that suddenly crossed my mind.
“Can’t we have much influence on the human world if we don’t humanize it?”
“Exactly.”
White laughed.
“The power of the Elyos and Demons is great. They can easily wipe out weak humans. God wanted the Elyos and Demons to maintain the balance of power and run the world, but did not want them to have too much influence on humans. So we made it so that non-human beings had little influence on the human world.”
“However, Duke Brudel wanted to influence the human world, so he humanized himself and took Duke Brudel’s place….”
“okay.”
“But it’s still strong enough. The Duke can even manipulate people’s memories. Isn’t that already strong enough to disrupt the human world?”
White’s eyes darkened at my words.
“He manifests using the power that brought him into existence. Do you know what this means?”
“no.”
“Duke Brudel will die soon.”
White declared coldly.
