Chapter 169 – Arranged Marriage Harem Plan

“Yes? What now… ?”

“Answer yes or no.
Did you propose to Duke Dupre to marry our Stella?”

“No.
What Duke Dupre proposed is to marry you,
I also conditionally agreed to it.”

By the way, you were number 6.

“Sister!”

“Stay still for a moment.
All facts must be cross-checked.
Camu Ball.
I’ll ask again.
Married to Stella…”

“I am hearing this for the first time.”

“You mean you didn’t have a heart at all?”

“I had an idea, but
I never spoke to the duke or his party.”

“…”

“…”

Both of them touch their foreheads.

“Are you sure your grandfather said that?”

“… Right before I opened the dimensional door and came, I heard it directly from my maternal grandfather.”

“Ha.”

Little sigh.
Still she has her hand on my wrist.
Why the hell did you upload this?
Do you even have a pulse?
Do I look like high blood pressure?

“Is it true that you hypnotized Stella?”

“No.”

“To hypnotize Stella
I heard you approached the saintess and Sir Angela.”

“You’re right.”

Ann tilts her head.

“It is strange.
It’s all true.
Let’s change the question.
Were you thinking of rescuing Stella and hypnotizing her?”

“No.”

“Ultimately, approaching the saintess
Was it to hypnotize Stella?”

“Yes.”

Hmmm.

“Is the reason you changed your mind halfway through a strategic decision?”

“No.”

“Is it because of guilt?”

“Yes.”

Giggle

“Is it really because of guilt?”

“Yes.”

In the end, Stella, impatient, yells at her.

“Sister! Do you believe in demons!?
You can lie in ways we don’t know!”

“… Stellar.
Is it true that Lord Kamu jumped on top of her gold dragon head?”

“Ugh… Okay.”

“Is it true that I rescued you from the Constellation Tower?”

“It’s great… Okay! But… !”

Ann casually asks a question about the perplexed Stella.

“Is it true that you dealt with Mr. Bellondel during the rescue process?”

“… Okay.”

“Lead Sir Angela, Light Blinger, and Count Abu Bakr.
Is it true that she joined her maternal grandfather’s army?”

“Chit. Okay! It’s true! That’s why!
That guy is a demon!
Can’t you see the horns on your head, sister?!
Besides, she hypnotized the saintess and the moon knight!”

“Is the Saint of the Sun on our side right now?”

“Okay.”

“Then is hypnosis defense or hypnosis release possible at any time?”

“I know what will happen when I get caught, what the hell!!”

Stella pounded her breasts in frustration.
Anne calmly looks at Stella.

“Don’t imagine, let’s see what is happening.
First of all, this Demon tribe, Mr. Kamyu, helps us and is a powerful person.
Yes?”

“Your original intentions are impure!”

“Stellar. Listen carefully.
We are rebels now.”

“What?!”

It’s fun to watch sisters fight.
Ann said softly to Stella, who opened her bunny eyes.

“We are rebels against the queen.
We need one more ally.
And alliances don’t grow easily.
Because you have to risk the lives of your parents, siblings, wife and children.
The enemy gets stronger.
The enemy brought in the demon king’s army and committed a cathedral terrorism,
They’re even mobilizing bioweapons.
The troops gathered at the temple will also be theirs.
Be cool.
I can’t even catch Queen Catherine,
If Nuvacane was also resurrected,
We will eventually be pushed out of the palace.”

“Oh no!
We also have a saintess wearing Valkyrie armor,
There is also the Light Blingers, an elite order of knights!”

Shaking my head.
Ann shook her head quietly.

“No. We have no cause.
No evidence, no witnesses.
Evidence that Catherine and Alberic are the culprits who murdered their father.
Evidence of Catherine’s illegitimate succession to the throne.
Without it, all neutral forces will eventually follow Katherine.
… In the end, all that remains is his maternal grandfather’s lonely estate and a handful of troops.
There are 200,000 troops gathered in the temple near the capital alone.
If you are kicked out of the castle and lose your cause,
There’s no point in holding out on your grandfather’s estate.
Just last a few months and it’s over.
Think carefully.
‘Cause you’re the new queen
Always keep in mind
Distinguish between right and wrong and good and bad.
The king sometimes buries the faults of others,
There are times when you have to move on.”

“Sister… !!”

Leaving behind the tearful Stella,
Anne talking to me

“First of all, we all go back to our maternal grandfather.
It sounds like there’s a story you haven’t even heard of.
If her brother has offended you, I will apologize on his behalf.”

“… No.
As I punish Catherine,
I’m a bit embarrassed…
Princess Stella, who saw it in person, deserves to be shocked.”

“… I’ll have to go and hear what happened.
Stellar. Let’s go.”

“… Okay.”

* * *

“This.
Did you hear from Stella already?
I was going to propose first.
Tsk tsk.
You’re still young, so you can’t keep quiet.”

“Grandfather!!”

Duke Dupre scolds Stella with displeased eyes in the barracks.

“You must be the queen of Amitie now.
Be careful in the future.”

“Kuu… !!”

In the barracks, me, Duke Dupre, Anne and Stella.
Only four like this

Returning after rescuing Anne,
Duke Dupre was wiping his bloody sword.
Fighting fiercely until late at night,
First of all, the enemy retreated.
There will be a lull until morning.

“Well, now that it’s like this, I’ll talk right away.
In some cases, Stella, Ann.
Everyone can marry you.”

“Grandfather!”

“Be quiet!”

In the end, the duke couldn’t stand it and shouted out loud.
Stella crouched with her head down like a frightened rabbit.
The Duke sighs heavily.

“He’s still like a kid, but he’ll mature soon.
With my sister next to me, she will learn quickly.”

“Why do you dare to marry me, a demon?”

The Duke laughs bitterly.

“What is an alliance?
What’s going to happen to you?
The current situation is actually… It’s hopeless.
The troops who soon went to attack Humpback Whale Fort,
The troops headed to the demon castle with the bonus will return to the capital.
No, maybe you don’t need to.
Even to deal with the two remaining tentacle monsters inside the palace.
They worked so hard, they wouldn’t even be needed to kill us.”

Ah. Two members of the Law Guard who were with Reynald.
The tentacle monster they turned into was in the northern palace.
I guess I had a hard time dealing with that.
The Duke has a face that has grown five years older.

“There is a gold dragon resurrected as a monster outside,
The vacancy left by Knight Commander Raynald is being filled by his successor, Lieutenant General Dismas.
Miss Marianne’s appeal did not go well with the cathedral staff.”

“Because religious people are conservative.”

He nodded his head.

“Yes.
Nowhere in the world are people as conservative and superficial as religion.
Who wants to join the rebels?
These are the ones who care more about the head of the church than justice.
Paladins, priests, and nuns who joined us following the saint of the sun.
It’s helpful, but not enough to affect the general trend.”

My butt hurts.
I’m glad you depended on me thanks to you.
… After the hunt, I almost became a hunting dog for the street.

“Besides, Hero Alberic is alive and well, and the justification lies with Catherine.
Ann is absolutely right.
This is not the time for us to cover cold rice with hot rice.
Right now, I can’t find nobles to ally with by marriage,
They won’t even try to ally.
The trend is over there.
Foreign intervention?
It’s all useless if you die.”

Then Stella intervened again.

“Fortunately, the demons sent two of the law guards as captives,
I can testify about the cathedral terrorism act.
If you use them to condemn Catherine and Alberic… !!”

Cheer.

Duke Dupre has a knack for swearing with his eyes.

“Tsk tsk.
Who would listen to such condemnation in this chaos?
Where people can gather
Who investigates
Who will believe
They will try to organize us and bury the truth with us.
You can’t do anything when you die.”

But I’m curious about this.

“So what?
Why do you want to send me a wedding book?
I’m not the corps commander right now.”

Duke. He was smiling with his eyes.

“You are humble.
If you are a Dark Blood holder, of course you are the next demon king.”

“I have no intention of rebelling.”

“Why?
The devil, isn’t it coveted?
Even if you reveal your bloodline,
The forces that will appoint you will line up.”

“They must be the forces you want to use.”

The Duke has slightly disappointed eyes.

“I thought I was overflowing with ambition.
Politics is basically using each other.”

“I agree.
I just choose another way.”

“What is the other way?”

Gulp.

Now, let the bullshit begin.

“I will be higher than the Demon King.
An emperor who has the Queen of Amitie and the Demon King as his vassals.
Downfall. That is my goal.”

“What?!
Grandfather!
This demon is finally crazy!”

Stop pointing your finger.
The duke laughed as if it was absurd.

“What did you just say?”

“Become the emperor and lead the demon king and Queen Amitie as vassals.
We will end war and create a unified empire.”

“How?”

“Because I seduced the queens and won the war.”

“… How?”

“The demon queen is my girlfriend,
One of the Four Heavenly Kings below him is my lover.
All you have to do is get married.
There are supporters among the Four Heavenly Kings.
In addition, when Queen Amity and her princess are married,
The problem is solved.
Marriage would suffice.
I think all we have to do is win the war.”

Haha!!!!
This is a friend who is crazier than I thought!!!!
Haha!!!!”

The duke laughs embarrassingly and slaps it.
It’s like the time Genocider Khan laughed at me.

“Ahahahahaha!!!
Ah, that’s why I don’t like the position of the demon lord, so it’s one thing?
Are you going to go to a higher seat?
But what about this
How do you believe in the Demon Queen?
I’m afraid you’ll be purged if it’s known that you’re also a Dark Blood holder.
Didn’t you keep quiet about your lineage?”

“Now it is.
I will convince you now.
I believe in Lumica.”

“Let me believe in you too.
Because things that are not in front of your eyes are illusions.
It’s been a long time since I’ve known that.”

“I will leave immediately after this meeting.
Please lend me Princess Stella.”

“Okay.
Uh-huh, Stella!
Wait!
Write-up!
… Hmmm!
But, how are you going to win the war?”

“You have Princess Stella, what are you worried about?
Are you worrying about mankind’s most powerful strategic weapon?”

“…”

A sudden silence came over the Duke’s mouth.
The reason why you must get a star princess.
The third reason I didn’t explain to Jacques and Ludwig.

“I don’t know if it’s just the Duke and Stella’s troops.
If me and the Demon King’s forces join Princess Stella,
We can make full use of that ability.”

“…”

The Duke’s face hardened at once.

“I’m sorry, but it’s a waste of money even if you look like this.
I cannot risk the precious life of my grandson.”

“It’s already hanging.
You know?
The fact that the person the demon king fears the most is the princess of that planet.”

“… Yes? Me?”

“…”

“…”

Stupid Stella.
Silent Duke Dupre and Princess Anne.
I guess it’s not yet time for me to tell you.

Yes I understand
Master didn’t even tell me to become a pyromancer.
If Master gave me
‘Camyu, if you become a pyrotechnic instead of a hypnotist,
I think the teacher will be very, very happy!’
What if you said one word?

I’m about now with my right hand, a magic dye cloth,
He must have become a fearful general who wields a phoenix storm with his left hand.
Dark blood is the blood of the ‘first demon’.
Become a person who uses forbidden magic and unique special moves of the demon king’s bloodline
He may have really led the rebellion.
… Or being quickly purged by the previous demon king.

But you didn’t.
Always respected my choices.
… Because that’s love.
So, I understand that the duke and the sickly princess have been silent all this time.

“… It looks like you haven’t talked yet.
Great.
Let’s talk about something else.
First of all, I made an agreement with Choi Hoon, the soldier of the cheonghaejin.
The nomadic cavalry of the steppe with the cooperation of the demon king’s army
It will pass through the Eastern Highlands.”

“That is fortunate.
By the fall, the number of troops attending the crusade will grow to 300,000.
It would be hopeless even if we went back to the territory and protested.
If it is a nomadic cavalry unit, it will be able to strike the hinterland and stop the reinforcements of the enemy troops.”

Duke nodding.

“Second.
At the Humpback Whale Fortress, to the Great King of the Hwan Empire
We have already requested the dispatch of reinforcements.”

“… Doesn’t it take 50 days just to go by boat?
Dispatch of troops takes a long time.
In any case, we’ll get support from Humpback Whale Fortress.
I won’t worry about money.
What next?”

“I can bring in two corps under Nene, the Four Heavenly Kings I just mentioned.”

“Are you sure?”

“I am sure.”

“Yes yes… She is a cunning and scary woman.
Can’t handle it carelessly
Will she be able to?”

Know.
She was the one who killed the remaining Marianne escort paladin in her cathedral,
She was the one who hypnotized my head,
She is also the one who gave me the espionage report related to Amity.

Crucially, bring in Genocider Khan
She was also the one who plotted the rebellion against Rumika.

If I couldn’t catch her,
He could have enchanted me with phantasmagoria and led the rebellion.
When it comes to schemes, the most dangerous is Master.

“Yes.
She is already mine.”

Maybe he thought I was mind-controlled,
Peaceful Duke.
Sorry. That’s not it, it’s self-indulgent.

“Right.
Is she saying that she will not become a demon king because she is a demon queen?
Is she aware of this plan too?”

“No.
They’re just an ordinary couple.
It’s because we fought a little.”

“…”

There is silence for a while,

“Is that why you didn’t covet the seat of the demon lord?
If you directly ascend to the throne, the dream of defeat,
It would be a very realistic plan.”

I guess so.
The rich direct jurisdiction of the demon king,
Demon King’s regular army and provincial auxiliaries, etc.
Mighty authority.
Justification.

But.

“Then it looks like the Demon King’s army has swallowed Amitie.
There will definitely be people who are dissatisfied.”

“But if the third force takes power, it will look powerless.”

“Anyone can see the strength.
We will prove it through war.”

From what I can see, it’s a bit of an empty check.
But now I’m the boss.
It wouldn’t be strange for Duke Dupre to run away right away.

“Really?
It seems to me that he is enduring the rebellion because he likes Princess Rumika?”

“You saw it correctly.”

“… Really?”

“Yes. It is not in my life to harm Rumica.”

The Duke is looking at it incredulously.
The preliminary hand dice is in front of my eyes
The scene where he confesses his love to another woman.
Let’s put a wedge in it.

Ranking between wives is done in the beginning.

“Rumika is the most precious woman to me.
She never hurt her.”

“… Could it be that the position of the first wife belongs to her?”

“Yes. It belongs to Lumica.”

I assert
Because this is the best composition I have in mind.
