287 – Monia is alive (3)
The ducal family owns not only the oldest mansion in the capital city, but also several mansions and villas throughout the kingdom of Biend, among them There was also a secret warehouse that even the royal family did not know about.
And now, Reynolds was hiding in one of those secret cellars, manipulating an army through demons.
The more you dig into the devil’s power, the greater it becomes.
It transforms even ordinary humans into knights per hundred, and even freely wraps its body in an unknown black shell.
This black shell is so strong that if a weapon is not properly maintained, the side of the weapon that is hit will break, and even the tip of the arrow will not be pierced. Even ordinary soldiers who are lightly armed because of their pointy and sharp shape get stabbed and cut just by getting close to them, so they can’t do anything and fall down.
The most troublesome thing in war is the supply and demand of supplies.
However, since weapons and shields are made from black shells, and bows and arrows are made, there is no need to supply weapons. Even the humans who turned into demons didn’t even need food.
They live off the feeling of fear that humans feel when they see them.
An invincible army that fights and fights endlessly, with no wear and tear.
It is indeed the trump card of the kingdom.
“If it weren’t for some big flaws, the kingdom of Biend would have taken over the world long ago.”
Reynolds felt very sorry for that shortcoming.
First. In order for the existence of demons to remain intact, the existence of structures covering the ‘whole kingdom’ is necessary.
The royal family was well aware of the need to protect the structure, so the entire structure was protected by a thick, massive wall.
This is why Reynolds tried to encircle the surroundings with troops step by step in order to occupy the capital.
Breaking down structures hidden by walls to kill demons. Of course, now he is using the devil himself.
However, the capital has already been trampled on once and the walls have been damaged, and some of the structures have been destroyed.
The reason why Reynald couldn’t increase the army of demons endlessly was because of the destroyed structure. Because he puts so much energy into maintaining the existence of demons, he can’t increase the army beyond a certain number.
Next, the devil follows only the orders of the beings with royal blood. In addition, there is always only one person with the deepest blood in the royal family.
The reason why the king gave birth to only one of his children, Jordi, was for the ‘single, darkest blood’. People around him would not have been able to understand that he had no children other than Jordi, but Reynolds, who knew the devil’s existence and conditions, understood it.
Rather than giving birth to multiple children and making them compete to make the superior offspring the king of the next generation, rather than spilling blood for no reason, leaving only one more solid ‘dark blood’, leaving the power of the devil intact as the royal family. That’s more profitable
In fact, right after learning of Monia’s survival, what Reynolds was most worried about was ‘the devil’s usurpation’.
Could it be that her dominion will be taken away by Monia? Despite being the ducal family with the most blood outside of the royal family, this kind of anxiety and worry arose because it was not a pure royal family.
Fortunately, Monia does not know the existence of demons. That is why she is not thinking of usurping control.
The devil was still following Reynolds.
Reynolds looked at the devil. It looks similar to other devil’s armies, but the devil had an enormous body that was close to 7m tall.
In addition, unlike others where horses and humans exist separately, it was in the form of a human body with a human upper body where the horse’s neck should be attached, and it has four arms, each in the form of a weapon and a shield. Is taking
‘Should I kill Monia?’
After hearing the news that Monia had appeared in Japy Kingdom, Reynald, who had been worried about the usurpation of the devil, was seized with a new concern when there was no sign of usurpation from her.
Should I kill Monia? However, if you kill Monia, many people will be angry.
Now, too, many people who step into the reckless war simply step in because ‘if they play an active part in the war, they might be able to get their hands on Monia’.
If you kill Monia in that situation, will they just give up and back down? No, Reynolds knew that humans can be stupid beyond imagination.
Men become even more stupid when it comes to work involving a woman, especially a beauty. A man can grant indulgence even to a wicked woman who deserves to die just because she is beautiful.
If you kill Monia, those who will back down will back down, but some will rather be angry and come more aggressively against Reynald.
Also, if you face a reckless charge with flipped eyes, you can suffer unexpected damage.
I didn’t want to create such an uneasy factor or an unpredictable variable.
However, there are difficulties in keeping Monia alive.
‘Monia is beautiful.’
There are people who get involved in a war just by looking at her beauty. And it was unthinkable that such people would only exist on the non-End continent.
If the news of Monia, the tragic story of being abandoned by her father and being used in the war, and her beauty enough to tilt the entire country, armies will come from other continents for Monia.
Especially if Monia is alive.
However, it was also true that I wonder how many reckless people would cross the sea and get involved in a war just for the sake of a woman.
No matter how much a man sees her beauty and turns her eyes upside down, there is a degree. Even the royal families of other continents will desperately stop their military power from going to another continent crazy about women.
But the reality is that there may be an army that will overcome all of that.
That’s why I’m worried.
Even if you kill or save, there will be a variable.

‘I’ll just die quietly on the island, why did you come here?’
From her birth to her death, everything about Monia was determined by Ray Nald’s needs.
Monia was born because Reynold wanted it. She said that the reason Monia grew up like a doll that only listened to the duke’s commands was because she was so educated and brainwashed by Reynolds. Sending her Monia to the floating island is also what Ray Nald did to use her Monia’s tragic story as an excuse for her war.
Everything in Monia only existed for the benefit of Reynald. There was no value other than that, and at the same time, that value was more valuable than anything else in this world.
What could be more valuable than a life devoted to making the greatest family even greater.
‘My family is now taking off the mask of a duke. When this war is over, we will become a royal family. I am fulfilling the wish that my ancestors hoped for, but could not achieve. Monia. My daughter Your death lifts us up. Your life hinders the steps of the family. Why don’t you know that?’
I should have educated them properly, but what happened on the floating island that made them so stupid?
Reynolds continued to worry about Monia. Whether it was the “Father’s heart” That the little bit of conscience that remained in Reynold’s bottom screamed out, or whether it was a cursed heart toward a woman who was like an enemy who simply messed up the calculations, no one knows.

“Got it!”
It is early in the morning when the servants who have just woken up are busy preparing for breakfast at the mansion. Monia, who had been up much earlier than that, saw a bird caught in her trap that she had secretly set on the roof of her mansion, and hurrahed for her.
Then she took a twig from a tree in the yard and started grooming and roasting the bird on the roof of the mansion.
Living in Billium’s mansion, tasting the delicacies from the kingdom of Biend sent by various aristocrats, fattening the tongue to some extent. Ah, I missed plain and simple foods from time to time.
So, whenever she missed her, she caught a suitable wild animal, simply seasoned it with salt, grilled it, and ate it.
“What are you doing?”
Similarly, Chester, who had been up early and was training her with Urgo, Rowan, and Rex, came to see her Monia grilling and eating her bird on her roof, with her bewildered look on her face.
“Do you want Chester too?”
“Maybe.”
Chester, who took and ate one of the bird wings Monia gave him, looked at the sun just beginning to rise and said,
“Monia.”
“Huh?”
“I’m thinking of going to the Beyond kingdom soon.”
“Finally?”
“Yes.”
“Now I can take off this stuffy dress.”
Monia says she is looking at the dress she is wearing while stretching her. Everything from her dress to the corset and complex underwear she was wearing underneath was frustrating and irritating.
“I can only wear this when lying in bed with Chester. Is not it?”
Monia laughed mischievously, and Chester turned her head away, blushing at her.
When Monia saw such Chester, she fell into his arms and together she looked at the rising sun.
And from her mansion, the sound of her servants running around in search of Monia, who had suddenly disappeared, could be heard.
And the next day.
The Chester family really disappeared from Billium’s mansion. With a wonderful wagon full of supplies prepared by Billium, who is happy to have completed a satisfactory work.
