#2 Their circumstance: Belegrea’s circumstance
“Old Man Mekel, am I… trembling?”
“Yes, your highness.”
I could only sigh at length at Mekel’s instant reply. “Old man, you’re supposed to give me encouragement in a situation like this, you know…”
“But ma’am, you were always on top of your game without me around.”
Mekel’s remark managed to calm my trembling hands.
“You’re still the same, old man.”
“But ma’am, I’m no longer a youngster. I’m old enough to have retired a long time ago. That’s why I ask of you to stop putting me to work and let me get some well-deserved rest.”
The Old Man Mekel’s solemn request brought a faint grin to my lips. “I can’t.”
“You’re being too much, ma’am.”
“No, I really can’t.”
When I solemnly replied to him, Mekel’s expression stiffened a little. “Is it… that serious, ma’am?”
“I’m just going easy on you because of your injuries, old man. But once you recover to an extent, you’ll be wading the depths of Hell with me. You better prepare yourself.”
I wasn’t joking at all here.
The birth of two demon kings led to the busiest-ever period in the demon continent’s history. However, one of said demon kings was doing nothing but sucking on his thumbs, which meant I was saddled with all the work.
Ria was helping me, but even she dumped most of the difficult work on my lap while saying that a human shouldn’t learn about the important matters of the demon race.
She was right about that, of course.
Marcus might be a human chosen by the Demon God, but Swinn and Ria were not. Not only that, but they were also high-ranking nobles of the human continent’s most powerful nation, the Karuan Empire.
This issue was beyond the matter of trusting them or not; nothing good would come out of them learning about the demon continent’s secrets.
Ria was right. But, all the really important documents still went through her first before reaching Marcus. Which meant that she still had access to all the important information! She was going to find out anyway, so why couldn’t she help me out?!
I requested her help so many times, but her silver tongue managed to get me every single time, and I had to leave her office with documents clutched in my arms, my head passively nodding away.
“Sounds like I’ll have to tender my resignation soon.”
“As the new demon king, I forbid it.”
Old Man Mekel seemed to be panicking slightly here, but if this work rate kept up, I’d end up as the first demon king in history to collapse from overwork.
“I’ll never let you go, Old Man. It’ll be better to resign yourself.”
“Ah, aaah…”

I watched Belegrea passionately make her speech while sensibly adjusting the tone and the force of her voice.
It was very satisfactory. As I thought, that girl was very good at this.
-But you placed me right next to her and threatened to beat her up if she gets any part wrong, master!
-Isn’t it fine to get a little love tap on the head, no?
#3 Their circumstance: Chieftains’ circumstances
In a room within the Demon God’s temple…
The chieftains, considered to be the core of the demon continent, began gathering one by one in this room.
“Why did Her Majesty Belegrea request us the chieftains to come to this place?”
Asking such a question was not strange at all, of course. Not too long ago, these chieftains and Belegrea were trying to kill each other, after all.
But Aggreahrt was now dead, and Belegrea had ascended to the throne of the demon king. Which meant that officially at least, they were at peace – but that didn’t mean all grudges had been washed away.
“The last chieftain has arrived.”
The Demon God’s temple priest announced that, prompting one of the chieftains to raise his hand. “No, there are 100 of us here. One chieftain is still missing, so what do you mean, everyone’s here?”
“He’s right. Even if she is a mixed-blood child with human blood coursing through her, she’s still the head of her race. No reason to exclude her.”
If a certain former demon king heard that, he’d have been greatly surprised by what these chieftains were saying.
But that’s because said demon king was expecting the chieftains to hurl all sorts of abuse like ‘How dare an impure blood like you attend this meeting!’ and ‘There’s only one of you, so how dare you call yourself a tribe!’ if his daughter showed up to the tribal conference.
If only the former demon king heard these chieftains right now… He’d most likely think a bit harder about what he was about to do to them. Unfortunately for the chieftains, however, the former demon king was not around to hear them.
And because of that…
“No, sirs. All chieftains requiring further education have gathered. And from this moment on…”
“…It’s the start of your educatiooooooon!”
The light suddenly went out of the room for a brief second, only for a small girl to jump out of nowhere. At the same time…!
Clunk!
The only exit to the room was locked from the outside.
“W-what is the meaning of this?!”
One of the chieftains, realising that something suspicious was afoot, hurriedly raised his voice, but what a lamentable thing it was… Only one creature in the room was capable of replying to his question.
“Today is reserved for learning about the joy of Communism! And now, receive the great and noble Demon God’s will… with your bodies!”
And that was the silver-haired girl called the Demon God’s blessing and her tiny fists.
T/N note: From the next chapter onward, the name “Marcus” will change to… “Marx”. The romanised Korean could’ve gone either way, but with all this Communist talk, I figured “Marx” (as in Karl Marx) would be a better fit. Thank you for your understanding!
