MTL - After Being Sold Out By The Empire, I Decide To Assist The Demon King-Chapter 48 Course: Responsibility of the King
Chapter 48 Course: Responsibility of the King
"Do you have anything to report?"
In the words of Satan Ye, the leader of the construct took the lead in reporting: "Port, fishing port, construction, basic, completed, just, no, fishing boat, possible, need, purchase."
Regarding this point, Ira already ran around to confirm it yesterday.
"Mr. Ira told me about this again yesterday."
The black-and-white and transparent ghost glasses girl said so. She took out her notebook and reported to Satan Ye: "Because of financial reasons, it is basically ruled out to buy fishing boats from other countries."
It is said that it is because of funds. In fact, in terms of the finances of the Demon Lord, it is more than enough to buy one or two, five or six fishing boats.
The ethos of the Demon Lord’s side is indeed that they don’t care much about face, but [too] embarrassing things can be avoided or should be avoided.
In fact, everyone is well aware of this.
Under Satan Ye's curious comment, Ira, who was sitting in the corner, said, "We have decided that the purchase of fishing boats requires the purchase of other monsters' territories."
If it was in the empire, Isabella would have slowly told her and taught her why she made such a choice under Isabella's desperate expression, but now she doesn't need it.
Satan Ye is not suitable to be a lonely king, so there is no need to learn this knowledge, even if it seems a little sorry for Satan Ye... As a teacher, he is a little incompetent.
(Isabella: @#¥%&!)
Without explaining clearly to Satan Ye why he came to such a conclusion, he looked at Senata and said at the same time: "I found Senata later, and according to her information, the siren-type monsters joined the snake Send banshee's territory."
Under the words of Ira and the nodding approval of the vampire girl Senata, Satan Ye fell into thinking, and she said, "Um... Gorgons? Are you going to buy from them?"
"..."
The answer to this question was clear to everyone present, but Satan Ye seemed to be really naive and thought that he wanted to buy it from other territories... If that was the case, he would not have raised it in this way.
"It's a pity that the Gorgons don't seem to be planning to pay this quarter's tax before the end of winter... I mean, they probably aren't going to pay the offering."
In Yila's words, Satan Ye raised her head and looked at him. She also realized something, looked around all the leaders, and said, "Have the Medusas betrayed too? How many territories have chosen?" What about defection?"
Amid such words, the palms of the worm leader clenched tightly, and the other leaders who commanded the army also lowered their heads and remained silent as if they were suppressing something.
"There are a total of 74 territories ruled by monsters. According to my subordinates' information, there are only 40 territories, and we can be sure that they will pay the offerings on time before the end of this quarter."
Senata said so, she shook her head helplessly, and said: "Although these are 100% certain, even if it is really the end of the quarter, this number will not increase much."
"..."
"In other words... the thirty-four territories no longer recognize me as the devil?"
Satan Ye sighed a lot after saying this. Ever since his father died in the battlefield, the interior of the Demon King’s Domain had already been a sign of disintegration. She already felt very lucky to be able to delay the outbreak of problems until winter.
But her words were a little too sad. As a Demon King, she shouldn't be so humble and sad.
"However, the Lord Demon King is the Lord Demon King, and does not need the approval of those rebels."
Xilina said so softly, but her words could not make Satan Ye feel relieved, they could only make Satan Ye pretend to be nonchalant and nodded with a smile, as if she really didn't care.
"..."
However, she couldn't hide it from everyone. Except for Vera, everyone didn't know what to say...
"big boss."
The leader of the black knight covered in black armor made a voice reminiscent of a warm man. He comforted Satan Ye and said, "Don't care about the opinions of other territories. We know from beginning to end that you are the only devil."
It worked, but not that much.
"I know, let's continue talking about the Gorgon..."
For Satan Ye, who seems to be completely focused on business, Ira thought for a while, and he said: "I need to ask for your opinion about the handling of the Gorgon and other treacherous territories."
Regarding this, Satan Ye thought about it, and said: "Well, Mr. Ira will decide..."
Ira: "No!"
"Yi?!"
Looking at Satan Ye who was making a strange sound of surprise, Ira lowered his tone and said calmly: "As the devil king, you need to be responsible to all the monsters."
Yila looked at the other leaders who looked at him, and he looked at Satan Ye with confused eyes, and taught gently: "For the loyal territory, you need to let them see the meaning of heart, for the betrayal territory, You also need to do your own thing.”
"Because you are the devil, not us, you will ask our opinion, we will give our own ideas, but you need to know that it is you (the devil) who makes the [yes or no] decision, not us .”
Saying so, Ira, in the gratified eyes of everyone who realized something, continued: "Your order can determine the fate of others. Whether you declare the fate of the traitors to end here, or announce that you will lead them back to the right way, it will not matter. It is your responsibility."
After Ira finished speaking, Satan Ye fell into deep thought.
These words should not have been said in the court, but the Demon King leader didn’t seem to care about it, so Ira taught Satan Ye directly in this way... The king needs to bear the responsibility that belongs to the king, and Satan Ye needs to recognize this. a little.
Moreover, Satan Ye will never care about this, she will probably study hard, right? This kind of king is really cute.
"Hmmm...that is, shouldn't I just let you decide? I need to be more responsible...but I just don't know how to deal with it, what should I do?"
Regarding Satan Ye’s doubts, Ira felt that the nature of the court meeting had changed. He began to teach patiently and said, “Ask us, we must each have our own ideas.”
"But... oh, I see, which one should I [make the decision], right? Cough cough, thank you Mr. Ira, I'm the first time king, so I don't quite understand."
Satan Ye, who seemed to understand a little bit of Yila's meaning, said apologetically, she cast her eyes on all the leaders, and asked everyone loudly: "So, what do you guys think about the treatment of confirming the rebellious territory? "
The voice is high and loud, and the face is full of self-confidence that belongs to the king.
It seems that something has changed from this moment on.
