Chapter 394 Conspiracy
When Viola went back to meet the information dealer, she was also plotting far northwest of the open city.
The Lakshurya Demon Kingdom is located in the mountains just north of the Avarus Demon Kingdom. It has abundant rain and a humid environment, but the terrain is too complex.
While it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is also very difficult to develop. It is called the Demon Kingdom on the hillside.
In the Lakshurya Palace, the young prime minister Evander, who is less than thirty years old this year, walked hurriedly through the corridor. The maid passing by was already not surprised.
Whenever you see the prime minister hurriedly moving in the palace, it means that His Majesty the Demon King is not handling government affairs.
This was indeed the case. His Majesty the Demon King did not show up in the morning when he was supposed to convene ministers to discuss policies, so the prime minister had to rush in to find someone.
This operation has been repeated many times, and Evandel also knows where to look, and everyone follows the process.
So he didn't hesitate and went straight to His Majesty the Demon King's bedroom in the palace.
"roll!"
As soon as he reached the door, he heard a loud shout, but this was not said to Evander, but to a young woman who ran out of the room on her hands and feet, almost crawling.
This person was disheveled, as if he had had a heated exchange with His Majesty the Demon King last night. When he came out, he was carrying shoes in his hand, casually wrapped in a sheet, and looked very embarrassed with his disheveled hair.
Don't get me wrong, this is not the queen of the demon kingdom of Lakshurya, not even a princess or an underground lover.
The current Demon King of Lakshurya has a peculiar quirk. He does not appoint a queen or princess, which seems to be a lack of sex with women. However, he calls the ladies from the club in the city to the palace every day. He is more punctual than clocking in for work and does not miss a day.
Moreover, this demon king is moody. One second he will be smiling at you, and the next second he will tell you to get out of here, even if you don't get out of him smoothly enough.
However, the ladies in the club will get generous rewards every time they come, as long as they don't care how they get back, so although the woman you see running out of the room is embarrassed, she seems to be smiling, so she must have made a lot of money.
This scene was not surprising. Evandel tidied up his clothes, stepped forward and knocked on the door:
"Your Majesty, it's me, Evandel."
A second ago, there was the sound of furious smashing things in the room, but when Evander spoke, the sound immediately stopped.
"Oh, come on in. I just got up."
Just by listening to the sound, I couldn't tell that someone was raging inside just now, as if they had just gotten up lazily.
Evandel pushed open the door. The cold wind passed through the bedroom window and turned into a gentle breeze under the influence of magic. It rolled up the curtains on the luxurious bed, revealing the naked body of a young blond man who looked to be only in his early twenties. Sitting naked on the bed, he reached out and rubbed his eyes.
"I got up late today."
"Yes, yes, you always start up late every time."
The devil explained it symbolically, and the prime minister also believed it symbolically. This is the process.
Laurent Lakshurya is the current Demon King of Lakshurya, but he has only succeeded to the throne for less than two years and is a very young Demon King.
"So, what's the topic this morning?"
Laurent asked casually, and stood up and walked towards the warm water pool embedded in the ground on the other side of the room.
"Your Majesty, the Demon Kingdom of Oswaya has begun to take action."
"That female fox will definitely not miss this opportunity to take back the fortress."
"Aren't you going to take action?"
"I work very hard every day and I don't want to find something to do for myself."
That was hard work in the literal sense.
Although the demon king behaved very much in line with the characteristics of a faint king, Prime Minister Evander knew very well that Laurent was an extremely rare wise king in the history of Lakshurya.
Less than two years after he took office, he made drastic reforms and reversed the situation of corruption in the country.
Please note that this is not a metaphor, but a literal slash. Evandel was able to serve as prime minister at the age of less than thirty. In addition to his own ability to do the job, the most important thing is that almost all the old nobles were killed by this lazy-looking Demon King.
The Lakshurya Demon Kingdom is a centralized system, while most other demon kingdoms are enfeoffed. This makes the nobles in the country very dissatisfied.
Human beings are the same creatures no matter where they are. Once they have rights, they want greater rights. Their dissatisfaction is understandable.
Demon kings in the past generations did not have the courage to completely solve this problem, which led to the nobles gradually forming a power group that opposed the royal family.
After Laurent succeeded to the throne, he easily eradicated the problems that had plagued the Lakshurya Demon Kingdom for hundreds of years through strategies such as wooing and dividing, and reorganized the forces.
Simply killing people is easy, but the most difficult thing is how to survive this period of political chaos.
The most amazing thing about Laurent's rule is that there was no chaos at all during this process. The common people only saw the aristocratic gentleman who was originally showing off his power being dragged to the Louis XVI Happy Platform. Other than that, there was no disturbance at all.
The ability to control the situation is the greatest advantage of this demon king.
Of course, it would be better if he could be cleaner.
Evandel knew that he could not persuade him, but the job of the prime minister was actually similar to that of a secretary. He could only shake his head and continue to report:
"Tandron Demon Kingdom sent a message asking us to increase the number of people in Avaru." The number of soldiers in the Demonic Kingdom is ready to join the offensive to encircle Princess Viola."
Speaking of the Tandelon Demon Kingdom, Laurent's brows twitched, and his good mood disappeared instantly.
The Lakshurya Demon Kingdom and the Tandelon Demon Kingdom are feuding. About ten years ago, a war broke out between the two sides on the border.
But speaking of it, that war was initiated by Laurent's father, the former Demon King, in order to divert domestic conflicts, which was equivalent to deliberately seeking trouble.
The war went smoothly at first. After all, the Demon Kingdom of Tandelon was caught off guard. Laurent's father, Long Yan, was so happy that he had to go to the front line to boost the morale of the soldiers.
Then nothing unexpected happened.
The king of a country was besieged on the front line, and was captured a week later. He was also taken to the capital of the Tandelon Demon Kingdom. It was a great shame and humiliation.
At that time, the aristocratic group that did not have a good deal with the royal family seized the opportunity and prepared to cause trouble. Many people in the royal family also tried to take the opportunity to replace them.
During the most precarious period, the Demon Kingdom of Avarus and the Demon Kingdom of Subia came forward to mediate, and then the Demon Kingdom of Tandron made a request.
The Demon King can be put back to you, but the first prince Laurent must be sent as a hostage.
Laurent, who was less than ten years old at the time, became a hostage and suffered humiliation in the Demon Kingdom of Tandelon. He was not released until his father died two years ago.
With this kind of experience, it goes without saying whether he will have a favorable impression of the Tandelon Demon Kingdom.
However, there is a saying that the Tandelon Demon Kingdom has sent a notice, and Lakshurya really has to take it seriously.
"Agree to their request and continue recruiting troops in the country."
Evander knew that Laurent was not someone who gave in so easily, and was shocked when he heard this:
"Your Majesty, could it be that..."
"Evandel."
Laurent lay in the pool, letting the buoyancy lift him up:
"Did you know? Stories from the Age of Mythology. Legend has it that it was the period when the Demon King and God ruled. We, the high-ranking demons, helped the Demon King and God manage the entire plane. There were almost no wars at that time. The Demon King and God's will was the final decision. It could not and was not allowed. Objection."
"I've heard of it."
"No, you just heard the story itself, but you didn't think about what it meant."
Laurent raised his head and glanced at Evander, who seemed to be stung by that gaze.
"A tyrant who does not allow any voice of resistance has returned. All we can do is surrender or perish. If you can't even see this clearly, you would be too stupid."
Evandel understood his master's meaning in an instant, and cold sweat broke out on his palms...
