## Chapter 1389 – Cheonma Shin-Gyo (Heavenly Demon Cult)

The head maid’s face was somehow familiar.

“Ah.”

That’s right.

When I was living there…

She was one of the elves there! And I could recognize the faces of the other elves too! That damn time…! When I beat my meat in the room and covered it with jizz! The elves who cleaned it up! And the elves who came to wash my body in the sacred spring!

The maids were all those elves!

“Shit.”

Thinking about it, I couldn’t help but shut my mouth.

Seriously, why send those elves?

Just thinking about that time still made my face burn, and I couldn’t stand it. Cheonma might be confident, but turning a room into a jizz panic room after wanking off was definitely not a confident thing to do.

What the hell are you doing at your age?
It was a major blunder on my part.

“I am Head Maid Ataniel.”

As I felt my spine heating up, the head maid bowed to me. A very polite greeting… Well, I guess she’d want to pretend that incident never happened, even as the head maid.

Anyway, it was good that she could speak properly. More than anything, it would have been a problem if the head maid was as taciturn as the other maids.

“I greet the warrior chosen directly by the World Tree.”
“Uh… yeah. But call me Cheonma, not warrior. Head Maid.”
“Understood, Cheonma-nim.”

Quick on the uptake.

Certainly, as maids who served the queen, their intuition and abilities would be top-notch. They were overflowing with the qualities of a maid. I could trust them to handle things.

For now, one head maid and thirty maids was about the size of a squad, which was woefully inadequate to manage the entire fortress, but I had dryads personally trained by Ari.

Combining the elf maids and the dryads, it seemed sufficient to manage the interior of the fortress.

Shahran had definitely thought of me well. I felt sorry for her after all. But I wouldn’t apologize when I met her next time. She’d just cling to me. I really needed to keep my distance from Shahran.

“As a priestess of the World Tree and a maid of the queen, I will serve Cheonma-nim. If there is anything you need, please tell me.”
“Serve me, you say.”
“Yes.”

As she said that, the head maid straightened her back.

She was about 170cm tall, a blonde elf with a good figure.

But she still didn’t have the beauty of my women.

Her hairstyle was a bit unique. She had her long hair slicked back, revealing her long, elf-typical ears. She had a slightly rigid impression.

Her clothes were plain. Not some strange outfit, just plain white clothes.

“Alright. Since you’re the head maid, I’ll entrust you with related tasks. Let’s have some salary negotiations. How should I treat you?”
“In serving the Great Warrior of the World Tree, I need no compensation. The mere fact of serving is awe-inspiring and joyful.”
“What!!”

This crazy, slavish way of thinking!

Do you know someone who has voluntarily become a slave? That can’t be! I won’t tolerate such an ideology!!!

“Gah!!!!”

I immediately rebuked the head maid!

I could never tolerate the mindset of working for free for life without receiving wages!!! It was an inhuman way of thinking that Western imperialists could only dream of!

If you work, you should naturally receive compensation!

And fair compensation at that!!!

I felt like my heart was turning red for some reason, but the idea that fair compensation should be given for labor was something that anyone with common sense would want, not just red people.

“There can be no one who works without compensation!!!”
“…!”

The demon bastards were invaders and now my prisoners. The Chorongi were just monsters anyway. Likewise, the prisoners were just prisoners.

There was no need to pay them or treat them well.

They weren’t even people.

But these maids were different.

They were ordinary elves. Ordinary people. And forcing inhumane treatment on ordinary people was something that could never happen to this Cheonma. Fusion Confucianism rejects and eradicates such things.

Treating people like slaves is a heinous imperialistic ideology!

“Are you saying you’ll serve me for life without any compensation!!!”

ㅡThump, thump!

My voice echoed through the audience chamber. The other elf maids knelt at the tremendous force. Saintel, who was standing blankly beside me, was also taken aback.

No. I didn’t mean to make them kneel.

“I’m not angry. I’m just saying what’s obvious. Head Maid. Do you have no intention of changing your mind?”
“…I will correct myself.”

The head maid said with her head bowed.

“Please tell me what I should do.”
“I will give you compensation.”
“I will accept it.”
“I was thinking of negotiating that a bit.”
“Please give as much as Cheonma-nim deems appropriate.”

Then let’s do that.

She seemed to have almost no concept of economics, so there was no point in negotiating a salary.

“Head Maid. Do you perhaps have any economic sense?”
“I do, but we have never personally owned or used any property, so I don’t know much about it.”
“…”

This is…

“What did you do in the sacred realm?”
“I managed the sacred realm. Everything else is meaningless.”
“I’m speechless.”

Do I have to start with basic economic education? Even if she received wages, it seemed like it would be useless.

“Well, let’s skip this for now. I’ll take care of it. Then there’s the matter of setting up a direct superior. Here, you’ll receive my orders, but what if the queen gives an order again?”
“Then I will follow the queen’s orders.”

Well, this wasn’t human trafficking. Shahran was simply sending them to me to support me.

In other words, these maids were dispatched employees.

“I understand. I’ll keep that in mind.”
“Thank you for your generosity.”

With that, the maids stood in a row. They were all elves with decent looks. Was it okay that they were all taciturn? I didn’t know, but it didn’t matter as long as they did their jobs well.

ㅡSwish.

The maids bowed to me.

“Hilde.”
“Yes! Kat-nim!”

Hilde, who was standing next to me, answered energetically as soon as I called her.

“So, thirty maids just appeared. What should we have them do?”
“There’s a lot to do right now! And there are still quite a few places inside the fortress that aren’t being managed!”
“What? You’ve investigated everything?”
“Before the gate magic was completed, that’s all I had to do. Liz-nim and I have already figured out how to allocate tasks when we get more people!”

Wow!

“You’re really my woman! So capable! And so meticulous!”
“This much is obvious!”
“Quick! Quick, come here Hilde! Kiss my face!”
“Yes!”

Hilde immediately hugged my neck as I sat on the throne and kissed my face and neck passionately.

“Hilde is really smart.”
“I’m a woman who’s always good at everything. First of all… um. With about thirty people, we can do pretty much everything we need. Cleaning. Cooking. Laundry. We’ve been making the demon prisoners do it all, right? That was a bit much.”
“That’s true.”
“Let’s have the elf maids do it from now on.”
“I will.”
“And that. I think the others want to have a personal secretary or something. It wouldn’t be bad to assign them.”

A secretary.

“Head Maid. Can you also perform secretarial duties for other dignitaries?”
“Hmm… the other maids will need some training.”
“Hilde. That’s what she says?”
“No problem.”
“Then I’ll leave this to Hilde… Ah. Do you have a lot to do right now?”
“I don’t have that much to do. Now that we have maids, just leave everything to me!”

Hilde expressed her enthusiasm in a cheerful tone!

“That’s right! With our Hilde who can do everything, there’s nothing to worry about!”
“Hooray for the Ancient Angel!”
“Hooray for the Ancient Angel!”

Then let’s leave the task of assigning the maids and setting work standards to Hilde.

“Head Maid. Can you cook?”
“Yes.”
“What about laundry and cleaning?”
“I’m an expert.”
“Do you know how to handle dryads?”
“Dryad taming… it’s a high-level skill. How did you do it? You don’t have the secret arts of the elves.”
“I have my ways.”
“Judging by how docile they are, you can probably ask them to do things if you communicate with them a little.”

I need to get Ari to collaborate with them.

Since Ari had become a demigod with my power, there was no need to worry about being exposed as an Alraune. But Ari’s interpersonal communication was a bit weak… I’ll have to train her. I plan to entrust Ari and Claudia with housework in the future.

Housework refers to the work inside the fortress.

Claudia was the mistress of the house, and Ari could command hundreds of dryads inside the fortress.

“Then let’s start by organizing the treasures and writing up the maids’ residences and work schedules.”
“Yes! I’ll take care of everything! It shouldn’t take too long!”
“As expected!”

Hilde was really kind.

“Head Maid. Take orders from Hilde.”
“Understood.”
“Then Kat-nim! I’m going to work!”
“Come to my room when you’re done.”
“Kya, kyaat!”

Hilde, her face flushed at those words, shouted with her eyes tightly closed.

“Yes! Yes! I’ll finish quickly and come!”

* * *

There were many bedrooms inside the fortress.

There were so many that everyone could have their own room and still have plenty of space left over, but everyone except Kadia still gathered together to sleep, so only one large bedroom was actually used.

But the room we were using now was originally Hilde’s room.

“Yes. I’ve finished assigning tasks and familiarizing them with everything. The elf called Head Maid was quick on the uptake, so it was easy to explain things. I took them on a tour of their assigned areas, and they’ll probably be able to start working tomorrow if they prepare today.”

Hilde, standing in front of the dressing table, explained what had happened earlier while applying lipstick.

She was carefully applying it while looking in the mirror, but the mirror was a bit low, so she was pressing down on the dressing table with one hand.

Because of that, Hilde’s healthy and beautiful butt was emphasized.

“I’m sorry, Kat-nim.”

Of course, Hilde was currently wearing black stockings and high heels, and only a bra. Since she wasn’t wearing panties, Hilde’s lovely pussy was completely exposed.

“…”

The pussy visible from behind felt unbearably lewd. The plump pussy lips, full of healthy beauty, were neatly closed in a straight line. The shape was so perfect.

The pink flesh was also beautiful. I really felt good just thinking about my women’s pussies.

“I tried to finish as quickly as possible, but it took a little longer.”

ㅡSway, sway.

Hilde apologized to me while swaying her hips. As Hilde’s hips moved from side to side, I couldn’t take my eyes off them.

She really knew what I liked… I liked the fact that she was still looking in the mirror and applying lipstick while nonchalantly swaying her hips.

“It’s okay. I also… talked to Saintel for a bit.”
“That elf? The one who guided you when you went there.”
“Yeah. She’s probably in the guest room now. She said she’ll probably stay for about two days.”

I told Saintel that I felt a great debt of gratitude to Shahran. Shahran’s purpose was to hear those words from me, so her mission was as good as accomplished.

Anyway, Saintel was quite interested in the fortress. We decided to give her a tour and tell her about my recent activities tomorrow.

“Hmph… well. That’s right. Anyway, elf maids. They’ll be very useful.”
“They really are. Judging by their level of education, I think we can have them do all sorts of things.”
“It’s a very good phenomenon. Ah, but at this rate, the inside of the fortress might be filled with only women.”

The only men in the fortress right now were me and some of the demon prisoners.

“Hehehe, honestly, I think that would be better? The only man who can be in this fortress is me. We should send the male demons to the detention area later.”
“That’s a good idea too!”

It would be enough if only my family, the elf maids, the demon women, and the dryads lived inside the fortress. Why should I have other men in my fortress?

I didn’t want to.

“A space where there can be no men other than Kat-nim! That would be great!”
“Right?”
“Yes! Ah, but the Great Warrior of the World Tree… really. Not knowing what kind of being Kat-nim is and saying such things… it’s utterly foolish. It’s a little unpleasant.”
“Oh my. Our Hilde is upset. I have to comfort her.”
“Jackpot chance… Anyway, it’s a little funny that elves who don’t even know what the World Tree does are saying such things.”

Hilde said cynically.

And then.

ㅡSmack.

She made that sound, probably having finished applying the lipstick.

“Kat-nim. I’m done applying it.”

Hilde, turning her body, smiled as she walked towards me. Her lips were painted with a very pretty red lipstick. So alluring.

“Why is our Hilde so pretty? Come here quickly.”
“You really like red lips. Well, then. Shall we do something Kat-nim likes even more?”

Hilde came in front of me, who was sitting on the bed, and knelt down.
