Episode 363
He shook his head.
At least in my opinion, the time when things like blood were effective has already passed.
Now it just takes time.
“Give it to me when you wake up. And as you know, the forest of demons is a bit noisy right now. With a dragon.”
-… … .
He just put his hand away.
“You sort it out first, and we can talk about this later.”
-Yes, boss.
So I started walking back inside. I could still see Aveiro lost in thought, but I didn’t touch him.
Since he’s a smart guy, he’s probably coloring the outline in his head right now.
You shouldn’t interfere with things like that.
“If it’s okay, please guard Aveiro here. And.”
I turned my head for a moment and looked at the dragons.
Looking at it this way, it’s spectacular.
“You’ll introduce them to me later, right?”
-of course.
He smiled faintly.
“Then, good luck.”
-Yes, boss.
It was a cell that had become quite trustworthy.

I went back into the conference room.
The kings of each kingdom are seated in their respective positions.
Okay, let’s think about it.
Carrot and stick.
Reason tells me that I should distribute these two appropriately, so have I swung the whip enough now?
I don’t think so.
“From now on, I won’t accept any objections to what I’m saying. So just listen. I’ll allow the kings of each kingdom some autonomy. If you want to keep your position and continue to sit in that position, do your best. Be responsible and give it your all. If you’re not confident, tell me now. I’ll help you put everything down and go to the countryside or something and live comfortably.”
“… … .”
“I don’t care what kind of history your ancestors made or what kind of struggles they fought. I’m really sorry to say this, but from my perspective, what those bastards did wasn’t a struggle to survive, but rather something to fill their own pockets. Of course, some of them weren’t. About 90% of them were bastards. And that includes all of your previous kings who changed not long ago.”
Everyone’s eyes widen in shock at my sharp criticism.
The same was true of the teacher sitting on my shoulder.
“There will be no such bastards in the world I’m trying to create. I’m going to clean everything up and start anew, but if you bring up some kind of history from the past that I don’t remember and don’t want to know and hold me back, that bastard will die that day. If you’re going to argue, make it logical and proper and submit a report. If you don’t, I’ll consider you a bastard who’s trying to get in my way and kill you unconditionally.”
I don’t really like complicated things.

If there’s anything that’s getting in the way, I’ll remove it.
I will make it.
Because I promised to create a better world.
“How can I be so confident?”
He leaned back in his chair and crossed his arms.
“Because I’m strong. There’s not a single person on this continent who can kill me. Even if the entire continent attacks, it won’t be a game.”
Power changes depending on how the one who has it uses it.
I just want to use that power for good.
That’s what I learned from my teacher.
The whip is enough, I guess I should give a carrot.
This time he smiled softly.
“But if you prove your abilities and are deemed fit for the world I intend to create, I guarantee that the history you write will be even more brilliant than the history your ancestors wrote.”
“ah…….”
“The reason I held this meeting is because, if possible, I don’t want to make too many enemies. It’s not because I’m afraid or anything, but because I have to kill people unnecessarily. I have to see blood.”
“… … .”
“There’s so much to do, so it’s pointless to hang out with those little brats. I’ve done that kind of pointless stuff in my past life, so please, don’t make it bother me.”
This was said not only to the kings of Canaan and Matthias, but also to Antos and Samith.
I just stood up from my seat.
“Something like a war with Tulkan will soon break out, so each country should select 200 of their best mana users. Send them out as soon as I issue the draft order.”
Before we knew it, everyone nodded.
“We don’t need a commander. Just add two or three mid-level managers who will follow orders well and stand by.”
He just hit the table with a loud thud.
“Okay, the meeting is over.”
* * *
After finishing the meeting, I went out.
Still, Aveiro kept his eyes closed and continued to knock on the table. If he kept doing that, the table would wear out.
Knock knock knock.
You could tell from his gestures how deep his thoughts were and how quickly his thoughts turned.
Knock knock-knock knock-knock knock knock-knock-
I waited.
Seldo, who was next to me, also waited, and Samit and Antos, who had come closer, quietly looked at Aveiro.
After a considerable amount of time had passed, the guy opened his eyes.

Eyes that shine very brightly.
Then the guy noticed the people gathered around him and was startled.
“Wow… …Why are there so many of you gathered here?”
Advertisements
“well.”
I sat quietly across from the guy.
“Looking at your expression, it seems like something has come out. Should I take a listen?”
Aveiro smiled confidently.
“First of all, we must govern based on the law, as the lord said.”
“okay?”
“Yes. If the Kingdom of Milos becomes an empire and all the current kings become archduke, the continent will eventually be ruled by a single emperor. As you know, my lord, you cannot do everything in the world alone. That is why we need to establish proper laws. We will gather all the laws of each country, find the errors, erase them, and insert new provisions. The name will probably be ‘Milos Empire Law.’”
“Same?”
“… …Can I ask you one thing?”
I nodded my head, staring blankly at the guy. What was he trying to ask?
“Do I have to make new laws all by myself?”
I said confidently.
“uh.”
“… … .”
“why?”
“… … No. I think this is just about you trusting me.”
I burst out laughing. I patted the guy on the shoulder with my hand.
This jerk.
“Aveiro.”
“Yes, my lord.”
“Who else would I trust but you?”
“… … .”
“You’re smart. And don’t we have kids under us? No, we don’t. Let’s call President Rommel, the deans of each department, and the judges of each kingdom and start anew.”
The color drained from Aveiro’s face.
“The more I think about it, the more I feel like this is no joke.”
“Why? Is your heart pounding like crazy?”
“… … Yes. Can you hear me now? My heart is beating like crazy right now.”
Look at this. Aveiro is smart.
We are not simply creating a nation now.
If you look at the Tulcan Empire, it’s simple.
The Tulcan Empire has imperial laws. And other kingdoms have kingdom laws. They all exist separately. Even the Tulcan Empire could not unify all the laws of the continent into one.
Of course, if they start a war of unification, the kingdom will naturally disappear and all laws will be unified into imperial law, but that won’t happen while I’m here. It’s not the laws they made, but the laws I made, or more precisely, the laws made by me, Aveiro, and my people under me, that will take root in this world.
“Is it heavy?”
“……yes.”
“Do you think it will get heavier in the future?”
Advertisements
“……yes.”
“You have to endure it to become my right-hand man.”
“Oh, your right arm?”
“Why? You don’t like it? Should I do the left arm? Or the right leg?”
“No. I want to do that right arm.”
I ended up laughing. I patted the guy on the shoulder again.
“I trust you. Based on what I’ve seen of your abilities, you can do it. Create a bill and bring it to me. We’ll make the final revisions then.”
As I’ve said several times before, what strategists need most is not complete authority.
The most important thing is how smart the person you are serving is.
I don’t like to talk about it, but as I said before, I’m smart.
I can understand everything he says and even review the laws he has created.
Aveiro told me.
“There’s one thing I need to make clear first.”
“What is it?”
“This is the forest of demons.”
He tilted his head.
“Why is that?”
“First, one of you, Cell or Charlotte, must take control of the Forest of Demons.”
I just crossed my arms.
“Like a special autonomous district?”
“Yes. The lifestyles are different depending on the country, and it is difficult for humans and other races to live together. Conflicts will occur in some way, and if they are suppressed, a second Dragon Incident may occur.”
That makes perfect sense.
“Leave the Demon Forest as a special autonomous zone and leave it there.”
“there?”
Aveiro glances at the cell next to me.
“We must appoint and dispatch the King of Demons.”
The king of demons… … .
The feel is quite strange.
“My lord said that he would abolish all titles of king, but he must at least make an exception for the Forest of Demons. If it were your nature, I think you would create at least one city where the alien races and humans can live together. Is that correct?”
“Well, it’s pretty similar. Keep going.”
Aveiro nodded and continued speaking.
“There will be archdukes in the land of humans, and these archdukes will be on the same level as the Lord of the Forest of Demons, that is, the archdukes, and only the King of Demons will be above the archdukes. And above the King will be the Emperor.”
I ended up laughing. I guess this is what I’ve been thinking about all along.
“After all, the only ones who know and understand their master’s will the best are Cell and Charlotte. As time goes by, they will become more mature. My master… … .”
“Which one would you choose?”
Advertisements
“yes.”
I also looked at the cell.
Cell laughed. Surely, Cell knew what Aveiro said.
In fact, there was no choice. In the end, it had to end up like this.
“I guess it should be Charlotte.”
“Yes… … . Then I understand it like that.”
No matter what, Cell is ultimately a dragon.
It was also the dragon that created the forest of demons to that extent.
Even though they are different, they are all still dragons.
And it was Charlotte who killed Machiavelli.
A descendant of a vampire lord who fought against dragons in the past.
Jinjo.
It would be ideal for Charlotte to rule.
He reached out and hugged Cell.
“Are you upset?”
-… … If I say I’m upset, what will you do for me?
I ended up laughing.
He’s more greedy than I thought.
“Do you know the multi-casting magic?”
-yes.
“There’s a trick that will allow you to use five in a row, and I’ll tell you.”
Cell burst into laughter.
Then he said to me.
-I trust my boss. I can accept whatever he does.
I scratched my head.
“That’s a very dangerous thing to say.”
-It’s okay. It’s true. Boss is the one who gave me the answer to a life that had no answer.
The smile never leaves my lips. Cell will grow well.
Seriously, it will grow very quickly.
