Chapter 182 – Episode 115 – Intermission (A Disturbing Rumor Spreads Throughout the Kingdom)

[Princess Belion is strange.]

A lot of time has passed since the grand banquet the demons held.
The envoys who participated in the banquet returned to the kingdom after completing their mission.
Everyone was worried that the delegation might have been wiped out because they were going to the enemy’s stronghold, but contrary to their worries, everyone returned safely.

Of course, from the outside it would seem that way.
No one can imagine what happened to them at the banquet.

[Could it be that Her Highness suddenly fell ill? Or have you been ill from the beginning?]

Shortly after the delegation returned, something like a thunderstorm occurred in the kingdom.

Suddenly, King Doublet fell ill.
Although he suffered from repeated defeats, it was not to the point of threatening his health.
At the news that such a doublet king had fallen ill, the subjects as well as the people were greatly astonished.
The whole kingdom was greatly shaken.

‘According to Your Highness’ edict, I will rule the kingdom from today.’

A seat of power whose owner disappeared when King Doublet fell.
The first princess Bellion sat on the seat of power whose owner had disappeared.
Originally, it was impossible for Bellion to sit on her seat of power.
This is because there is already the first prince, Michael.

However, Michael, the first prince, has a fatal weakness that is that his body is weak.
He was so weak that he was always bedridden.
It was in the worst condition to take care of state affairs.

Here, the second princess Azel is unknown.
Although quite a bit of time had passed since Perno fell, it was still unclear what had become of the second princess.
So, only the first princess Bellion was left.
In the end, the king entrusted all his authority and duties to Bellion.

By giving him the crown, the symbol of the king, it was practically the same as being good to Bellion.

[I just want to believe that these are rumors made up by those who are jealous of the princess.]

Bellion took care of her state affairs admirably.
This was possible because she already had several experiences of managing state affairs as a royal deputy.
Having placed her kingdom under his own rule within days of her ascension to power, Bellion pursued her next policy.

Her policy is a meeting with the Demon King.

[But it has grown too big to be a rumor.]

A meeting with the Demon King.
If it were the King of Doublets, it would be an agenda that would make him furious as soon as he heard about it.
There is no compromise with the demons. They fight until one of them dies. Never be a slave
The king was the leader of the hardliners who insisted on thorough resistance.

The leader’s daughter, Bellion, had a different idea.

‘We have to think about the future. It’s not a problem that can be solved by fighting anymore. Even if it means becoming a vassal state, we must protect our identity.’

The trend has long since tilted.
Despite being united with the angels, the kingdom of Dice was devastated.
They desperately tried to block the advance of the demons by building a defensive line, but all of them failed.
Except for some areas including the capital and Dunpole, all territories fell into the hands of the demons.
Even if they unite with the Carti Kingdom right now, it is impossible to drive out the mighty demon army.

No matter what you do, you can’t escape from the end of defeat.
There is no answer other than surrender.
So wouldn’t it be better to find a way to live by surrendering?
Belion declared that he would find a way to save his people as a condition of surrender.

Of course, there were those who objected to Bellion’s claim.
Are you going to sell the country to the demons?
Are you going to sacrifice everything to the devil?
Some even said that even if it was a temporary job, this was going too far.
The hardliners, who mainly supported King Doublet, greatly opposed Bellion’s policies.

‘Do not worry. I know all about that problem too. I know, so I have a solution. Even the sick will understand my choice.’

Despite these concerns and anxieties, Bellion pushed forward with his argument.

There is no answer other than surrender.
The reality is that there are no other options.
The people in the occupied area have long been members of the Demon Tribe.
It is impossible to save them. It is also impossible to regain lost territories.
If it is impossible to regain honor and pride, isn’t it reasonable to find a way to preserve one’s life?
Shouldn’t we first come up with a way to save the people?
In that way, he persuaded his servants.
He refuted those who objected in this way.

While refuting in this way, many of his subjects who were against him were purged.

[The purged servants and the families to which they belonged have completely disappeared.]

The audience room was filled with pro-Belion faction servants.
Strangely, the servants were all female.
And the purged servants and the families to which they belonged disappeared without even knowing a mouse or a bird.
As if it never existed in the first place.

[The men in the palace are gradually disappearing.]

The knights guarding the palace were all women.
It became increasingly difficult to see men in the palace.

[The princess’s maids are disappearing one by one.]

The ladies-in-waiting of Princess Bellion are also missing.
Mainly, the maids who attended Bellion’s bath were the missing persons.
It is known that after everyone waited on her, she took an extended vacation and went back to her hometown.
But they didn’t go back home.
None of the missing persons returned to the palace after the vacation period had passed.

[Rumors are circulating that Princess Belion did all of this.]

Why did the opposition servants disappear?
Why is the palace full of women?
Why are the ladies-in-waiting missing?

[Words are circulating that he killed them all.]

Rumors are circulating that Princess Belion is behind all of this.
He thought that the princess was offended, so he killed her rats and birds without even realizing it.
Like her father, Princess Bellion is acting like a tyrant.
Those who rebel against him, not only in the royal palace but also among the people, are arrested without mercy.
Such disturbing rumors spread inside the palace.
Everyone was very anxious about when and who would disappear.

“Bellion should be in her room by now, right?”

In order to confirm the truth of the rumor, Queen Libel is heading to Bellion’s room.
It was late at night, and Libel walked stealthily down the hallway where nothing could be seen.
She didn’t know what would happen to her if she got caught, so every time she walked she checked everywhere.

‘Bellion, what happened?’

Libel was strongly opposed to the fact that she was sending Bellion as the representative of her delegation.
Even though she knew the king’s secret life, she was a queen who kept silent because she could cause confusion, except for matters related to her blood.
She argued with the king to change to someone else immediately.

‘Don’t worry, mother. I will return safely.’

In the end, the argument ended when Bellion voluntarily became the representative.
Libel shed tears and watched Bellion go to Flosh until the end.
She prayed for all seven days that her daughter would return safely.

And her daughter came back.
But something has changed.

‘Nothing happened. Mother. You treated me well.’

Bellion smiled.
A smile full of happiness.
After learning the truth about her father, that Bellion, who hadn’t smiled even once since the kingdom stood on the crossroads of destruction, smiled.

Libel was very suspicious of that.
Even though Bellion had voluntarily stepped forward, his expression was dark.
She must have been unhappy with a decision like this, though outwardly she didn’t show it.
Can a person change just because such a daughter participated in a banquet?

Strangely, this wasn’t the only thing.

‘I want to drink milk.’

Instead of the wine she usually enjoys, she goes looking for milk,

‘I’m sure that driver is sleeping… Oh, it’s nothing.’

There were times when she did not hesitate to say words that were clearly not supposed to be contained in her mouth.

‘Ha, ha, uh, mother. Now I’m going to go in and see. Oh, good night, good night.’

Always at night, Bellion said he was tired and went to bed.
Strangely, there were always traces of water droplets on the floor where her daughter had walked.

‘I’m sorry, but your father is seriously ill. You can pass it on to your mother. I know her heart, but she cannot enter.’

Upon hearing that her husband, Doublet, had fallen, Libel tried to meet him immediately, but she was stopped by Bellion.
She has since tried to meet her husband, but her bellion has stopped her every time.
She never barred her husband from entering the room where he was lying, as if she were hiding her hidden treasure.
Libel couldn’t understand why she acted like this.

Could she get sick? So does she mean the plague?
If it’s a plague, isn’t the entire palace dangerous?
If so, why did Bellion not take any action even though it was so dangerous?
Libel argued, but Bellion ignored everything about her.
In her mother’s opinion, she was very different from what she used to be.

‘A rumor? Does she even need to crack down? It is normal for anyone in a high position to be criticized.’

Despite the disturbing rumors about her, Bellion paid no attention to her.
Rather, she let it go, as if to spread it further.
Ordinarily, she would have stopped the rumor from spreading right away.

It was so suspicious. It was so strange.
The behavior, the tone, everything.
She was so different from her own daughter, Bellion, that Libel knew.
Could it be that something happened to the demon king at the banquet?
Libel was worried about her and asked her to tell her honestly what had happened at the banquet.

‘Nothing really happened. I really enjoyed it.’

Bellion said nothing happened, she replied.
But,

‘I really didn’t know that the Demon King would be such a kind person. If she sees her mother, she will surely like him.’

At the words of Bellion, who looked favorably on her demon lord, Libel realized that she was up to something.

‘Libel is not a child who would like the demon lord.’

The difference between her daughter and her husband is heaven and earth.
It can be said to be the relationship between water and fire.
If they weren’t tied by blood, the bloody wind might have blown long ago.

But both of them have one thing in common.
It is that he is hostile towards the Demon King, Eris.
Bellion’s situation is so bad that she just chose surrender as her next best option.
If the kingdom had been in a tense confrontation with the demons until now, Bellion would have cried out for a desperate fight like King Doublet.

That child has changed.
She has turned into the most favorable person to the demon king.
Can a person change just by going to a banquet for a week?

So, Libel intends to check.
Are the rumors true?
And what happened to Bellion.
If Bellion had already become the Demon King’s minion.
If Bellion had reached an irreversible point.

‘I, I, I, directly to that, that child…’

Should be given a rest
Libel tightened her left hand on her dagger.
Rebel, who had made her determination, finally reached the room where her daughter was.

‘Oh, is the door slightly open?’

Her door was slightly open.
The door has always been firmly closed, but why is it open today?
I don’t know why, but it was a golden opportunity for Libel.

‘I’m sure Bellion always called the missing ladies-in-waiting to his room.’

Even today, she called her maid into her room.
And the lady-in-waiting will be on vacation again tomorrow, and she will be missing.
What the hell happened to her ladies-in-waiting always taking leave the next day?
You can check that question right now.
You can confirm the truth of disturbing rumors.
Libel checked her inside through the slightly open door.

And she was taken aback by the unbelievable sight.

“Haang, haang, haang, wow, princess. I-I can’t do this, I’m out of my mind… Huh?”
“Are you okay. It’s because I’ve done everything with soundproofing magic. You just have to be patient with me.”
“That, like that… Haha?”
“Cute Citra. Her chest was also really open. It makes me want to bite it.”

Two women are mingling on the bed.
While naked, she is rubbing her body here and there.
Her maid was lying down, and Bellion was making fun of her lying maid.
He puts her fingers together and pokes her crotch, then puts her mouth on her breasts and sucks on her side.
The scent of lust filled the room.

“This, this… How…”

So startled, Libel lost her dagger in her hand.
