7th Demon Prince Jilbagias’ Chronicle of Demon Kingdom Toppling

Chapter 79: Demon Prince, Make His Move

Demon Prince, Make His Move

Good day, this is Jilbagias who woke up from his sleep after having a conversation with his first victim.

Sleep was important. My head works better after a good quality sleep.

I became absentminded when I sleep though.

Cuz you always sleep. I mean, that was a common symptom of the human body when someone sleeps too much.

What a disaster.

There was a saying that even something harmless could become poison when you consumed too much of it. Unlike devils, living creatures couldn't absorb such excess And by the way, be careful when you drink liquor, you'll have a really nasty experience if you drink too much liquor.

Hohou

Those matters aside, now let's talk about necromancy.

I felt invigorated after receiving encouragement from the souls of the human soldiers last night. That's why I swore that I would never betray their trust.

I would do my best to overthrow the demon king with this renewed determination.

I've noticed that I've been too passive in regard to the situation so far. After being conferred with the rank of viscount, Platy's trust in me had also became deeper, thus I had to behave befitting of my peerage from now on.

I had to be more assertive.

The question is, more assertive in what way?

The one thing I could come up with was the matter involving the hobgoblin.

Hobgoblins had in fact got involved with the goblin-ogre's opposition and almost got themselves kicked out from the government of the demon kingdom.

I also agreed with the night elf and the devils that we couldn't involve them in a government affair because I almost died from the typo in their dispatch document.

But, as a hero, I would be in a much more perilous situation if the government of the demon kingdom got reformed and became even better and more efficient than before.

That's why let's give the demon king a few words.

Will he hear you?

He will. I wouldn't push my opinion, I would see the situation from a neutral position instead.

It might not change the demon king's opinion. Alas, better than nothing.

According to what I heard from Enma, it would at least delay the expulsion of the hobgoblins. I had nothing to lose even if I failed. But, it still had some value.

Thus, I ate my wake up meal and stormed the demon king's office immediately.

Are you going to leave?

The night elf maid, Vigne, blinked in surprise when I told her that I changed today's schedule.

Yeah. I suddenly wanted to see my father at work, I have something to tell him.

So I told her while shrugging my shoulders.

Regarding the matter of the hobgoblins, I did tell Shidar that I won't try to change my father's opinion on that matter. But, I changed my mind. I have something in my mind that I have to convey to my father.

Yup, I'm not lyi~ng.

I see

Vigne revealed a smile upon hearing that. Maybe she thought that I'm still pissed off with the typo in my document that almost got me killen, and would encourage the demon king to expel the hobgoblins.

Well, I guess that was a fair opinion considering my position. I mean, I literally got nothing from trying to support them, not even in my dream.

Thus, I'm storming into the palace along with Sofia and Vigne as my escort, while smirking at the latter.

Quite a nasty personality you got there.

But you love this kind of thing, right?

I love it.

Though I couldn't see Ante's face while she was merged in me, I'm sure that she had a nasty grin on her face right now.

The demon king's palace welcomed me with the same splendor as before.

Come to think of it, I forgot that I missed one dinner party due to previous field exercise but, it was about the time huh. Shall I visit the office on that occasion?

No, let's strike while the iron is hot. Otherwise, it would be too late if the Demon King made his decision about this matter. That's why let's interfere as fast as possible.

You seem to be in a good mood today, Your Highness Jilbagis. Did something good happen today?

The goat-headed devil slash butler greeted me politely.

I want to learn more about my father's job. Naturally, I'll come again later if he's still busy.

Today is just the normal duty. Please go inside.

By the way, this devil was one of the most prominent archdemons I've ever seen in the demon king's castle. One seems to need a lot of magical power to employ him. Maybe he was the subordinate of the Demon King's protege.

Ante, is he your acquaintance?

Nope. To begin with, he must be quite successful seeing that he's employed in this place.

Seniority didn't exist in Hell. Sofia's case was simply an unfortunate case.

Yes, Sofia might know what kind of devil he was. I mean, I should investigate all the war potential in the demon king's castle before I turn it upside-down

We passed through the area with a lot of gorgeous ornaments and a waiting area for the officials who were asking for the Demon King's approval, entering the office.

The line that formed in front of the Demon King's office was as long as ever. I followed the butler quietly while taking a sidelong glance at the petitioners.

Uhm? Is something the matter, Jilbagias?

The Demon King who stamped his seal onto the document with dead eyes straightened his back and made a crisp face the moment he saw me coming.

I come to learn about your job again, Dear Father.

Uhm You're still curious eh. Sure.

Thus, I sat in the chair at the corner of the office while observing the Demon King doing his usual duty.

He seems to be in a good mood when I come to visit him but, you look dead tired ain't cha Demon King?

I wonder if this guy ever got the chance to take a break? Maybe I could launch a surprise attack at him when he was exhausted both in body and mind.

I wonder how he would feel if he Got ambushed by his own son when he's dead tired after finishing his job?

Dunno. But the ambusher side might be in good health.

Your Majesty, this is the information from the frontline.

Woops, important information came right up.

I straightened my back and listened carefully.

The usual victory, is it?

Currently, the Demon Kingdom has three frontlines. Northern frontline, battle against the Dwarf kingdom in the center of the mountain range. Eastern frontline against the humans and forest elfs in the forest and plain. And lastly, the southern frontline against the alliance of the human nation as well as the beastfolk who refused to join the demon kingdom.

Despite those three frontlines, the current policy of the Demon Kingdom was to be steady and not rapidly expanding their dominion.

Since both the Demon Kingdom and the alliance were completely prepared, the battle between two sides was always so intense, alas, the Demon Kingdom kept winning without a hitch.

Thanks to our spy information network, the base of the Holy Religion's support, and the latest movement of the northern frontline is

The official who read the report sent a glance every once in a while in my direction. Since his hair was green, he must be from Emergias' Izanis clan.

Since his gloomy eyes were looking at me full of suspicion, I looked back at him with an even more intense gaze.

Nevertheless, spy information network eh doesnt that mean all the countermeasures prepared by the Holy Religion would be countered?

If I'm not mistaken, the Izanis clan had pretty deep ties with the Night Elves. That green basta*rd aside, I'll make sure to eradicate that spy information network!

Uhm. Thank you for your effort.

The Demon King gave his signature to a few official papers, heaved a sigh and then leaned on the backrest of his chair.

Let's take a short break.

I shall prepare the tea.

The understanding butler bowed and then left the room.

Leaving only the demon king and I in the room.

So

The demon king turned to me.

What do you want to talk about, Jilbagias?

Uhm, why are you talking with a slightly broken tone and raised eyebrows?

I really am no match for you, Dear Father.

I let out a child-like wry smile whose thoughts had been seen through by their parents.

Well I guess that was only natural since I came out of nowhere without waiting for the usual dinner party's schedule.

Humph, father can at least do this much.

Said the demon king with a proud face alas, you're missing something, demon king.

It's about the true identity Of the person before you!

After letting out a wry smile, I cut the chit-chat and went straight to the point.
