Bardul continued.
”As I said earlier, her power is real. And yet, I didn't expect that they would try to create a gap for us to invade.”
”What are you saying?”
”Evidence of the dragons and our embarkation into the country since we banished the Virgin. It's too pathetic to cry... but now I appreciate your stupidity.”
The king seemed incapable of contesting Bardul's words.
That said, Bardul moves in an instant to the king's eyes.
It's too fast for the knights around to react.
”What I'm about to say is an order. It's never a negotiation.”
Bardul lifted the king's jaw with his claws and continued like this.
”Turn this country over to the demons first.”
”No, what are you saying!? I don't know if I can do that!
”Then all we have to do is kill everyone in this country. I'd like to leave it if I can, but if not, it's fine.”
”... cum!
The king is distorting his face.
I mean what he says. If the King shakes his head, he will soon kill all those in the country.
(It doesn't matter to the people... what happens to us when that happens? There is no guarantee that only we will be saved...)
Claude was so stubborn.
”Okay... let's do it for now.”
”Shall I hit you? I told you, this is not a negotiation, it's an order. You just nod to my orders.”
Bardul lifts the corner of his mouth and releases his claws from the king.
”From now on, this country is under our control. Listen to me.”
”What the hell are you thinking...? What do you want?
The King asks Bardul.
”Our demonic country is a bit narrow. I just wanted a big garden.”
Bardul began walking gracefully on the spot.
”Why should a good species like us have to meet like this? I've always wondered. That's why what we want....”
”What do you want?
Bardul looks at the king and says with an evil smile full of faces.
”Become the master of this world.”
”Nh....! You think you can do that!? Continent... no, there are still people in the world? Whatever you want.”
”Yeah, not at the moment. We still don't have enough power on our own. So pull us in little by little. In other words, you are number one. Be more honored.”
The world's hegemon...?
Does he really mean that?
Besides, this world is not just human. Dragons and spirits also live in species that rarely appear in public.
It would be impossible to rule over them all at once, even though it might be the demons.
”I've patiently endured it until now, but I'm at my limit. The moderates are going to say, woe, but if I take action, the others will follow. In other words, the rule of this country was the trigger.”
Bardul walks slowly like a stage actor.
”Now, let's (...) rule the next time.”
Looking at the smile, Claude thought his spine would freeze.
