Chapter 42. Revenge (2)
The emperor’s office, which has been redecorated with a calm interior. Just as spring comes when winter passes, it was only natural that the sun would change accordingly.

No one can predict what kind of flow the waterway will create. The raindrops hitting the large windows seemed to hint at the fate ahead.
Bang-!!
“… Are you saying there are rumors like that?”
Elina’s cold eyes widened her eyes. Becca, who reported her unexpected reaction, trembled with her body.
The purple ponytail dangles weakly. His trembling eyelashes curled and he maintained a slight silence.
Beca went to the royal family of a neighboring country for a considerable amount of time, as she commanded. It was a long journey for her, but as the Empire’s representative and faithful confidant, she was able to bring the negotiations to a satisfactory conclusion.
She was actually a member of the party of warriors who defeated the demon king, and she had outstanding lineage and tradition. Who dares to rebel? It was the establishment of a powerful imperial power.
It was unexpected. Unexpected problems like this would happen.
“Sorry. Majesty.”
Starting from the outskirts far from the capital, the invasion of monsters became frequent. The restored atmosphere led to increasingly frequent raids and bad rumors.
For such a terrible thing to happen despite the fact that the demon lord was subdued.
Heaven is punishing the immorality of the imperial family.
I don’t know the exact cause and source, but there was also a controversy about the whereabouts of the stranger who came with the hero.
“What do you think of this?”
I can hear the weary breathing of a woman who has just become emperor. After a moment of silence, Becca slowly shook her head.
“Your Highness, there must be someone’s intention for rumors to be created in such a short time.”
It was hard to be optimistic about hearing such rumors even from the capital. The odds are low, but if you aim a sword at the imperial family, it should be at least the Duke of Ortini.
However, the possibility of creating such rumors in Ortini, a family that supported the emperor, was low. The relationship with Derek, the Young master there, is unknown from now on.
Elina’s expression hardened as she touched her forehead. She murmured, her head hurting completely, with her hollow laugh.
“… Do we really have to offer Carsen as a sacrifice? Do you think so?”
In real time. The fact that he had to confess the prince’s sins to everyone and receive a strong punishment.
That was the end of the rumors. The obvious conditions demanded by the head of the monsters.
Actually, Becca still didn’t like Karsen. It is true that he made Lee Seong-hyun’s treatment difficult.

No. More than that.
Lost in her thoughts, Elina also remembered someone. She instinctively guessed that the man whose heart ached her was behind it.
“The will of her mother, who was the emperor. Above all, he is the only blood relative.”
The strong penalty for sin must be death. It was not a fight for the throne, and she did not want to kill her younger brother, who was her blood relative.
“About that. Your Highness, I actually have something to confess.”
“You may speak.”
Gulping down her saliva, Becca slowly dropped to one knee. Seeing that, Elina’s brow furrowed.
“I don’t want to deceive my lord. I just want you to know that it was for Your Highness.”
“Stop it.”
Becca’s heart thumped. It would be ridiculous to come now and uncover the fragments of the past.
There is nothing to be gained by telling the lord. Rather, he himself who violated the order will be reprimanded. Even if Yeong-shik’s request with blue hair hadn’t shimmered.
Of course, bystanders. There was also guilt. Because the stranger man is already dead.
But Elina, her own lord ascended the throne. Now, as long as we get married, everything will be fine.
“Becca.”
“Yes. Majesty.”
The emperor’s expression was a face he had never seen before. It was completely different from the one that had taken care of her since childhood, and it contained no emotion.
“I know what it is. Then, why didn’t you listen to my orders?”
“… Majesty.”
“Obviously Jim asked me to take care of him when he left.”
Becca’s head bowed. Her legs trembled at the gushing force of the emperor.
“… It is true that Seonghyeon-nim was sent to a brothel at the direction of the prince.”
“Ha.”
Laughter burst out as if it were absurd. But Becca didn’t know. With that as an excuse, Elina and Seonghyun spent a short time together.
Only a week. That brief daily life, Elina will remember for the rest of her life.
“Becca Gliston!!”
“I am determined. Your Highness, I will accept the sin sweetly. I have no excuses whatsoever.”
“If it weren’t for my loyalty to Jim, I wouldn’t have let him go.”
“I will never make this mistake again. Your Highness, thank you for trusting me.”
The sound of the rain hitting her window died down before I knew it. The office of the emperor, who was to lead the new empire, was filled with only the distant silence of the two women.

I searched the map including the data of the adventurers guild to find the habitat of the orcs. Compared to worrying, I met them relatively easily.
A face like a goblin, maybe a little better than that. With a physique 1.5 Times taller than a normal male, it was not an easy existence for a monster called an orc.
They say it got its location by the pheromones I exude. A little creepy, though.
Anyway, the increase in the number of monsters I can command is something to be welcomed.
“Bu-hik. Buhihi!!”
He has a violent and tyrannical disposition, but he was docile towards me. Most of all, it was a monster with a lot of muscles, so it reminded me of a bodybuilder.
Though now I’m used to seeing green-skinned creatures. Still, it was sometimes startling to see the distorted pig face.
“Uh. It’s over?”
“Buhihihi!!!”
Chwiik – An orc who stutters and breaks his knee. Judging by the clothes she wears, she is clearly female.
[System: As a Commander, You can command low-level monsters.]
It’s easier than you think. Rather, it is so easy that it is unsettling.
“Yes. Great job.”
Certainly, orcs were stronger monsters than goblins. It was possible to use longer and thicker weapons, and it was also large.
Of course, Jane killed that monster in one shot with a huge scythe. That’s what makes him special
“Fortunately, it’s fortunate that it’s not far from the occupied area.”
“Buhihik! Buhik!!”
The orc nodded and smiled happily. But the frowning face was just grotesque.
“Oops. Don’t laugh like that.”
“… Buchik.”
The wide open shoulders of the orc slumped helplessly. He looks like a natural shoulder bully. Am I hurt too? I can’t help it.
“A. Because it’s fine. Yes.”
“Bu-hik?! Buhihi!!”
His shoulders rise again. As if feeling better, I exhale through my nose. That’s a little cute
“By the way.”
I tilted my head. Now I’m going to have to take a look at my business. There’s always something to do when you occupy an area.
“Village people, can you arrange a meeting?”
I handed the used mug to the goblin next to me. This is because I took enough rest after the battle.
Stretching, I got up from my chair and headed out the door. Following the lead orc, he inspects the new occupied area.
In the first place, raiding such a small territory was less difficult than I thought.
Because it was so easy to capture an area that people avoided because of monsters.
In addition, villages with a colder climate than the metropolitan area barely survived and survived. Targeting these areas yielded good results.
It’s because monsters aren’t as intelligent as humans. It was pretty strong. Especially stamina.
Perhaps because of the influence of living in a group, his ability to cooperate was excellent. Of course, I had to do it properly.
“Buhihihik!!”
“Yes. Are you all here already?”
When you arrive at the plaza, you can see the people in the manor. I am still trembling with fear.
Is the orc next to me scary? Well it could be A pile of monsters had already surrounded them.
I went up to the prepared podium, cleared my throat, and shouted out loud. Your vocalization is good today.
“From now on, the Demon King’s Army will occupy this place.”
As solemn and weighty as possible. My image is reflected in the eyes of people who are young in despair.
“That, don’t feel too unfair. It’s because the preparation for the monsters is so poor, so you’re suffering.”
There is not even that common wall. Because there were no defense measures.
“Still, everyone, I won’t die. I’ll make sure you eat and live.”
Most of the industries are primary industries such as agriculture, hunting, logging, and herbal gathering. Even that seems sluggish.
“First of all, does anyone have any questions?”
Why? Don’t you have anything to say I must have been very frightened of the world.
Ha ha. It’s a bit hot because it’s so hot.
I roughly threw the robe I was wearing. The clothes he was wearing inside were short sleeved tees that he had received from the other village.
At that moment, the strange eyes of the women turned to me. Someone covers the children’s eyes with their hands. For a moment. It’s not quite like that.
“What are you looking at?”
Only then did the women turn their heads. It’s funny how men stare at women.
“Well, what will become of us now?”
Oh. Finally a question came in.
“First of all, criminals among men will give it to our children. Huh. The list is already in my hands.”
“… That.”
“My children should breed too.”
Because it’s a biological instinct. Except for me, there are no males among monsters. Do you know what they want to do with humans?!
Of course it could be. Demons are also life. Life.
I don’t want to do that.
Do you know that monsters are full of lust? Although it could be. How gentle they are, at least when they are with me.
My kids don’t ask. For me
Of course, it’s because of the talent skill.
“For now, this is what you guys have to do.”
Their eyes are focused on me. The monsters I brought look at me with sparkling eyes. It’s a bit burdensome.
“Let’s spread the word. The demon king army appeared.”
I don’t want to be like this.
[System; Occupy the empire by reviving the demon army.]
But my heart was beating endlessly. Infused instinct dictated. To occupy the empire.
If there is one hope, it is that the desire to kill people is not accompanied.
The problem was that if I didn’t follow the warning, my body felt numb and itchy. If you refuse at all, you will suffer excruciating pain. So my options are few.
Can’t we just go there with the feeling of being occupied? As much as possible so as not to harm anyone. I don’t even know what you’re talking about.
At the very least, I don’t want to cause too much damage to civilians. Let’s do as much as we do once.
The difficulty itself is quite difficult. Isn’t an ordinary incubus the weakest among high-ranking monsters, including the Demon King?
To be honest, there is no chance that I will win the party of warriors who have already subjugated the demon king. Characteristics are also characteristics, so seduction must be difficult.
But you can’t die like this.
“Okay? I have no intention of killing you guys. What is the benefit to me But the rumor has to be me. This territory is said to have been occupied by the demon king’s army. It’s completely over. I mean, you guys are fully aware.”
The physiques of the citizens staring blankly look jagged. If you don’t have that much stamina, you’ll be captured quickly. He looks like he’s lost his mind, but is it true that he’s listening?
“Because the lord who used to collect taxes was dead too. I’m going to use his wealth to build a wall. What is the road Do some maintenance too. You guys anyway can you do that?”
I checked the status window again and smiled. I guess this is fine.
“But. Are you all eating?”
