Chapter 213 – Chapter 146 – There Are No Exceptions

*All characters appearing are adults.
*This is a fictional story that is nothing but fiction. Never follow

“I heard everything from the nanny. Admiral, you said you intended to build a canal that goes directly to the capital. I didn’t know that the Sirens had such magic.”
“…”
“I’ve heard that the plan was to send a fleet through the canal to capture the capital.”
“…”

Why are you bringing it up now?
I thought it would be impossible to suddenly bring up the list.
The mention of her own name made Lorelai nervous.
Is she intending to purge herself over the past, because she can’t let herself grow too big?
Are you doing this with the intention of destroying the entire Siren?
Lorelai couldn’t figure out why Eris was doing this.

“I couldn’t believe the story. The chief who swore allegiance to me suddenly rebelled. She couldn’t understand why a woman who had no desire for power would do that.”
“…”
“But after hearing the nanny’s story, I understood.”

Hitherto the purpose of those who had committed the treason had not changed.
To occupy the throne.
To let her know that she is the strongest person worthy of being the ruler of this demon realm.
It cannot be said to be treason in the Demon World, where the rule of thumb is the basis.
It is a legitimate challenge.
So no one can blame you for this.
With such stupid thoughts, he constantly rebelled against the demon king.
Even though she knew that the result would be extinction, she did not give up.

But in Lorelai’s case, there were good reasons.

“Following her father’s instructions, she invested everything into building a fleet. Admiral, you worked hard to develop your fleet when you said that you would be given a representative race seat.”
“…”
“But my father, who was supposed to keep that promise, passed away unexpectedly, so the promise was extended indefinitely. I was young too, so I didn’t even know what my father promised.”

With Leviathan’s sudden death, the Pandemonium was in chaos itself.
A battle between traitors who want to kill Eris, who was crowned at a young age, and take her throne, and loyalists who want to protect her young lord.
Bloody battles broke out every day in the capital.
Fights break out all the time, so it’s impossible for the country to return to normal.
Of course, the promise made with the Sirens was also not fulfilled.
When Lorelai asks if she will keep her promise, all she always hears is a formal reply, ‘I will do so, please wait’.

This became distrust of the Demon King, and distrust soon turned into temptation whispering in Lorelai’s heart to rebel.

“I really didn’t know. I’ve only heard of a fleet, but never imagined how expensive it would be to maintain one. It’s hard to believe, Admiral, but it’s true.”
“…”
“I found out too late that the Sirens were on the verge of starvation while maintaining the fleet.”

You don’t have to keep your promise right now.
But please send me the cost of maintaining the fleet.
I made it after being instructed by the previous demon king to make it, but are you going to ignore it and move on?
At this rate, the Sirens will starve to death, leaving only the fleet behind.
Without those who manage it, the fleet will eventually rot.
Are you going to abandon the one and only navy in the demon realm?
Are you going to give up conquering the Karti kingdom?
If you don’t want to give up, please help.
Don’t turn away from us.

So Lorelei sent a petition, but there was no news.
Eris didn’t intentionally ignore the petition.
It was because someone deliberately excluded the petition in the middle.

“I didn’t know that the military would take a bad look at fostering the navy. You didn’t know that the military would interfere, didn’t you?”
“… Yeah, I couldn’t have imagined that.”
“If you have an army, you are good. Where do you get stupid thoughts?”

As the navy grows, the budget for the army will decrease.
With such a simple idea, the military rejected Lorelai’s petition.
If Lorelei hadn’t sent an emissary to the protest dimension, he would have never known the truth about Eris.
She wouldn’t have been able to change the military and make it her support force.
There would never have been a chance for Junice to take the position of head of the military.

He must have been put in a situation where the Demon King’s Castle was completely destroyed by the artillery fire of the Grand Fleet.

“If that bastard’s military hadn’t interfered, it could have been solved a long time ago.”

The conflict with the Sirens was dramatically resolved.
Eris regularly pays for the maintenance of the fleet.
We will also quickly discuss and arrange a seat for the representative race.
A knot that should have been resolved long ago was barely untied just before the bomb exploded.

Nothing was said after that.
No one had an issue with it.
Lorelai was a little worried too, but she didn’t mind.
Eris never threatened or threatened Lorelai.
She thought that if she held a grudge against her then, she would be fine if she gave the kingdom of Karti to her liking.

I did, but I didn’t think his name was written on the list.
Lorelai didn’t expect this either.

“That Demon King, can I ask you something?”
“What?”
“Why is my name on the list?”
“Because I tried to commit treason.”
“…”

It was a short and clear answer.

“The reasons are good, but treason is true. So I wrote it down Do you have any problem?”
“No. No problem. But…”
“But?”
“Why are you bringing that up right now? Do you want to dismiss me as Admiral?”
“Dismissal? I?”

Eris clicked her tongue in exasperation.

“Why dismiss a competent admiral? I’m not even a stupid king.”
“Then why…”
“To order you to be my slave.”
“… Yes?”
“I intend to turn all the traitors into slaves for the development of the Pandemonium. Everyone on the list.”

Use the traitors on the list.
One who commits treason and survives.
The one who has a plan to rebel.
The one who dreamed of rebellion, but gave up and let go.
Anyone involved in treason in any form.
They turn into slaves all who are labeled as treasonous.
Use it as an energy source to overcome this difficulty.
Everyone on this list.

Eris planned to start a plan she had been thinking about for a long time with this invasion as an opportunity.
Lorelai intended to use it as a flare to announce the plan.

“I’m sorry Admiral, but I can’t make an exception for anyone. This has to be done thoroughly. That way there won’t be any fools coming out.”
“… It intends to eradicate it completely.”
“Huh. It’s okay to have a dissenting opinion, but pointing a knife at it is unforgivable. Even if that’s you, admiral.”
“I’m so full of energy that I can’t speak.”

Lorelai’s laugh escaped her lips.

“You said you believed me, but did you mean to boil it like this?”
“To be honest, it is.”
“I could kill you right here in a fit of rage, do you want to say that?”
“… Admiral over there.”

Suddenly, Eris’ voice lowered dramatically.
She was Lorelai who realized something was wrong, but she was too late.

“Ugh!”
“I have no strength right now. I can’t even hold the magic sword properly.”

Eris grabbed a handful of her Lorelai’s purple hair and she pulled her in front of him.
Lorelai, who was drawn to her tremendous strength, was suddenly wrapped in Eris’s arms.
Other soldiers saw this, but everyone was frightened by Eris’ eyes that contained her murderous intent.
She passed, knowing but pretending not to know.

As the hindrances disappeared, Eris put her arms around Lorelai’s back.

-Wood Deuk

While giving her a grip that would crush her bones.

“Ugh!”
“But it has the power to kill at least one admiral.”
“Ugh…”
“Can an admiral kill me like this? If I can’t kill it, the Sirens themselves may be destroyed, but are you going to do it anyway?”
“Leave, let go, let go of this hand. Well, because I was wrong…”
“Yes, I will let you go.”

Eris relaxed his hand.
Lorelai could barely catch her breath as the pressure on her back was gone.

“Huh, huh, huh…”
“Admiral Lorelei. I will open the portal early tomorrow and return to the capital. Then you follow me We need to call an emergency meeting.”
“Uh, are you going to make an announcement at that meeting? Admiral Lorelei committed treason, so he’s going to be enslaved?”
“No, I won’t.”

Eris answered firmly.

“Admiral. I said I would enslave the admiral, I didn’t say I would dismiss him. I’m going to keep it a secret that we have a master-slave relationship.”
“Why is it so troublesome…”
“For the honor of the admiral who was a loyalist but became a traitor. Wouldn’t it be polite to hide your private parts for the sake of honor?”

Eris laughed shamelessly.

“The admiral is a loyalist. But he’s a traitor at the same time. I have no intention of leaving a single traitor behind. I have no intention of making any exceptions.”
“…”
“But the admiral did a lot. He also has a lot of support from his own people. If I announced that I would turn such a great man into a slave overnight, I would be cursed at as a madman. I hate that.”
“You hate it so much, but you don’t want to give indulgences.”
“Huh. So let’s keep it a secret. He normally lives as an admiral, and becomes a slave only when I call him. How is it, simple?”
“…”

It’s really shit.
That should just be an exception. Why are you so stubborn?
It is said that the previous demon king was also a person who did not give up his will, but was it because he inherited that personality intact?
Lorelei didn’t know where to bet on the demon king’s attitude, which had no flexibility whatsoever.

“And I’m thinking of giving the admiral a present.”
“A gift?”
“It’s a gift that will never fall on me.”
“So that you can’t fall?”
“That…”

Eris whispered in Lorelai’s ear.

“… Are you insane?”

And Lorelai looked at Eris with her suspicious eyes.

“Are you going to use that precious thing on me?”
“The admiral is a woman of ability. I also bowed my head. That is enough condition to receive it.”
“Do you want to make me your exclusive slave while doing that?”
“Huh.”
“…”

I’m dumbfounded, so I can’t really come up with anything to refute.
Eris never had the slightest intention of taking back her own words.
No matter how much Lorelai begged, she wouldn’t listen.
Then, she has already come up with an answer.

“All right. I will follow the will of the Demon King.”

Eventually, Lorelai took both of her hands.
With Eris holding her sword’s hilt, there was no way Lorelai could resist.

“Thank you very much, Admiral. I wondered what to do if I didn’t follow through to the end…”
“What were you going to do if you didn’t comply?”
“It was meant to be like this.”

Eris raised both of her hands.
She made a large circle with the thumb and forefinger of her right hand.
And she put the index and middle fingers of her left hand together into the circle.
She put it in, took it out, put it back in and took it out again.
As if she were having sex.
Seeing this, Lorelai was a little taken aback.

“Perhaps the Demon King is more terrifying than his ancestors.”
“If you know that now, take care of yourself, Admiral.”
“…”

I can’t stand it, I never thought I’d be paying the price for making a wrong choice here.
She had always been Lorelai, who was determined that she had no regrets no matter what choice she made, but this time she wanted to regret it.

Then, at an emergency meeting a few days later, Eris made her important announcement in front of her chiefs.

[The Siren chief, Lorelei, is honored as the former demon king’s empress.]

At this news, the conference hall turned upside down.
