Chapter 68 – ♥ Denia the Queen of Hearts ♥ – 4

After confirming that her orb had gone over the fence, Denia dropped both of her hands. She recognized that she had been defeated.

Her gaze ran all over my body.

Then his gaze is fixed on her forearm, where her stigma shines. It was only then that her question was answered.

I introduced myself once again.

“This is Florian.”

Denia repeated the name as if she knew it all too well.

“Florian… Florian.”

“I won.”

“I would have thought he was a stigmata user. No, even a stigmata user would beat me.”

The warm atmosphere that appeases the losers doesn’t suit me.

No, of course, I could do it if I wanted to, but Denia was also a heinous criminal, so I didn’t want to do it.

I carefully pointed out the surroundings one by one with my index finger.

“Gardens, statues, luxuries, castles… All of these are mine now. She probably doesn’t know that keeping promises is also a quality of being a queen. And also last.”

My index finger touched Denia’s forehead one last time.

“You are mine too.”

Ha, Denia let out a laugh that bordered on her sigh. However, her red eyes, which had been cloudy, began to stand out from her.

“It’s a game that ends the moment you feel the joy. It is rather painful.”

She asked me

“What do you plan to do when this Wonderland becomes yours?”

“I will erase all traces of you. It means getting rid of all the accumulated evils. I won’t collect the money, I won’t catch and sell poor children, and I won’t hold events like this where the executives suffer.”

“Okay. Are you saying you want to kill me?”

“No, you will remain near me as my property from now on anyway. So there is no reason to leave your traces in Wonderland.”

“What if I choose to commit suicide?”

“It’s none of my business. I’d say he just committed suicide. But if you live by my side, you will see the world go by very interestingly. I can promise you that.”

Denia’s gaze turned to the officers of El Balom. The red eyes were even more transparent.

“I understand why you are loyal to this man. It doesn’t just break with overwhelming force, but it makes a pretty fun promise.”

The queen straightened her back. Just like the way you were when you first met.

“She was a pretty ugly queen when you think about it now. From now on, you will be devotedly loyal to your king. Finally.”

She slowly raised her hands and took off her crown.

“…Yes. I lost.”

◈

Wonderland became mine.

In Alice’s mansion, she opens her eyes in her servant’s clothes, and it seems like only yesterday that her maid was arguing with her, but when she comes to her senses, Wonderland is mine.

It felt good to think that he had stolen Wonderland, which would later become even more bizarre and become Elfriede’s limbs, in advance.

Come to think of it, taking away Wonderland was done very peacefully.

There are no people who resist. So no dead people.

In fact, there is nothing as embarrassing and annoying as cleaning up a corpse, but this time there was no need to do that bothersome thing.

Now that the power has grown, what is needed is a meeting.

It is because there is no way for the executives to find out if I don’t say what I think.

I was now sitting on the queen’s throne where Denia was sitting. I talked while looking at the executives standing all the way down the stairs.

“Now I am the queen.”

After she spoke, she knew something was wrong.

“No, I am the king.”

“Congratulations.”

Clap clap clap— El Balom executives applauded. I feel a little embarrassed when I receive applause.

“I took over Wonderland, but I plan to continue to increase my power without stopping here. Anyone against it? Who wants to quit at this point and live a lazy life? Hand.”

I asked as I lifted the trivi. No one raised a hand.

I nodded.

“Good. However, in order for us to increase our power, we need to have an understanding of the organization called Wonderland, which has come under our command this time. Alice.”

“Yes! Master!”

Alice answered. There was a lot of loyalty in his voice, probably because he was the first executive.

“What kind of organization was Wonderland in your opinion?”

“Uh… Hmm… Great organization? So, which part is great… Wasn’t it great that the academy couldn’t touch Wonderland while committing more brutal crimes than anyone else?”

“Exactly.”

My head turned toward Denia this time. She asked, turning to her.

It would be easier for her officers to understand if she explained it herself.

“There are no guys who can tolerate injustice as much as the academy. But how did you hold on?”

“Yes, it is a clever negotiation. Negotiations backed by force.”

She calmly followed the explanation.

“As well as being the best crime syndicate, we were also responsible for catching the non-top crime syndicates. If you are strong, you can do that.”

“Yes. Then, from the perspective of the academy, who wants to avoid an all-out war with Wonderland… “

“It’s a clever negotiation where we ask that other criminal organizations be caught instead of condoning our crimes.”

This is how Wonderland has endured so far.

Then Cheshire raised his hand.

“Here, master. Nyaang.”

“Why.”

“Then, while we catch small criminal organizations in the future, aren’t we increasing our power by cleverly negotiating with the academy?”

“Of course not.”

I shook my head.

“It’s true that we grow our power by catching small criminal organizations. You don’t have to negotiate with the academy. Because we will not commit crimes from now on.”

You can’t even negotiate.

Lily von Kayermen.

The knight who will receive the title of ‘Sword Saint’ is currently asleep at Valhalla Academy. Elfriede also had a hard time because of her.

If I want to face Elfriede from now on, I must never turn her into an enemy.

“If funds are not enough… ?”

“We have no money, no Gao? And if you rob a criminal organization, you get a lot of money.”

“Nyaang.”

Denia hmmmm, cleared her throat. She seemed to want to ask something.

“He thinks Ji is still the queen. Raise her hand if you have any questions.”

“…”

Denia carefully raised her hand.

“Yeah, but I won’t be taking any more questions today.”

“…?”

Embarrassment spread across the queen’s face. But she is right that the queen is originally tamed like this.

In the end, she didn’t even allow her to ask questions, but Denia opened her mouth.

“The higher organization, Blackjack, will not be happy with this change in Wonderland.”

“So you increase your power. To be able to face blackjack at any time. You instruct the guys who were originally committing crimes to sort everything out on their own. As soon as the meeting is over.”

“It’s easy to say, but making it happen… “

“The fact that it is difficult to realize is not an important factor. The important thing is that what I said will eventually come true.”

I got up from my seat first.

“Today’s meeting ends here. It’s late, so everyone sleep well.”

As I was about to leave, a thought came to me.

“Come to think of it, I told you not to ask questions, but why did you do that? Don’t read fairy tales to Denia today. Confiscate.”

The queen’s expression turned pale.

◈

Everyone went back to their bedrooms, but there was a being chasing after me.

Eventually I let out a deep sigh.

“Denia. Why do you keep chasing me?”

“You described it as a ‘small’ criminal organization around you, but in reality, not all of them are easygoing opponents. Loyalty to him is no joke.”

“For example?”

“There is an altar of Emperor Darkness. Of course, the Emperor of Darkness mentioned here is him. These are the guys who pray every day.”

You say you pray to Elfriede every day? Oh my god it can be I wanted to hit it right away.

“…I know that because I will destroy it somehow. Are you done now? Go away.”

Tumble- Tumble-

Another angle— Another angle—

Thud thud thud—

Again and again and again—

But even after that, Denia chased after me. I reluctantly turned around.

“I’ll kill you if you follow me one more step… “

But poof, before I could finish my words, Denia held out something of hers to me.

A little too small for a book. And cute pictures. It was a children’s book aimed at the younger age group.

“…Why is this?”

“You should read it.”

“Is it Apsu? If you really want to read it, read it out loud yourself.”

Denia catches me trying to walk again.

“Hey, please don’t read it.”

“Why me.”

“I can’t sleep without fairy tales. Not being able to fall asleep will interfere with your work. In the process of turning Wonderland into Florian’s, my work skills will be of great help. But if there is no fairy tale, that is not possible.”

“Ha… “

He reluctantly nodded her head.

“Okay… I’ll call her maid and have her do it.”

“It’s not possible.”

“Why.”

“You have to read it yourself.”

“No, so why?”

“Now I belong to Florian-sama, right? If Florian-sama doesn’t read it, it won’t seem like you’ve read it no matter how many times someone reads it to you.”

In short, rather than liking the fairy tale itself, she likes the loyalty of someone reading a fairy tale for her.

And that ‘someone’ is, of course, the higher the person, the more he will go crazy.

“Haaaaa… “

He let out a deep sigh. She is twenty-six years old.

◈

A bedroom barely lit by a single soft orange light. The Queen’s bedroom is spacious and spacious.

“Okay, now you can read it.”

After Denia pulled the blanket over her completely, she quietly put out her twinkling eyes and muttered,

“Come on.”

However, I was slightly perplexed while looking at the list of children’s books.

[ Hanging a bell around the bitch’s neck ]
[ A boy who sells organs for sale ]
[Drug dealer girl]

“…Not easy.”

What should I read I never knew.
