Beril calmly organized her thoughts.
In her second life, Yubar had found the ‘treasure’ only long after completing the rite of succession, and that too on his own land by sheer coincidence.
It was only after ignoring the pleas of the commoners who claimed ‘strange events were happening’, and a knight carrying out another of my orders inadvertently died entangled in the matter, that action was taken.
So now that the rite of succession was initiated earlier than expected, it was highly likely that Yubar was unaware of the treasure’s existence.
What if she were to have Vainka bring that treasure now? If it truly did possess magical power?
The problem of magical deficiency threatening Vainka could be solved all at once.
Moreover, the timing was perfect.
The rite would be attended by all three households.
Then with Duke Veled of Vainka urgently vacating his place for the rite, it was highly likely that the other two dukes also had not properly assembled their troops and had vacated their posts.
All she had to do was bring the magical brew in between. The plan was good, but the problem was…
Should she believe in it?
More than anything, the problem was that Veled had vacated his seat.
What would it look like if she moved the troops freely in his absence?
Recalling the information on demons introduced by Decarabia, going out to find something was generally Naberus’s role.
In the end, she had to convince him.
Would that demon believe my words?
If she could just bring the magical brew, later she could present the fact that she had stored the magical brew from Yubar’s land as evidence that he was a demon worshiper.
Two problems could be solved at once.
Beril clenched her fist tightly.
Yes, she would try it.
Veled knew that she knew about future events from her three regresses, but Naberus didn’t know that fact.
Even if she were to tell him to believe it, he wouldn’t, so she had to persuade Naberus with her own strength.
She could do it.
Beril approached Naberus with a rough outline of the scenario in her mind.
“What is the matter?”
As she took steps toward him, Naberus’s voice suddenly rang out.
“!”
Startled, she took a step back. Naberus stood right in front of her, his sword tucked into its sheath at his waist.
Although he hadn’t drawn his weapon, his uneasy expression while asking the purpose said it all about how Naberus treated her.
“We need to discuss going on an expedition.”
At Beril’s words, as she had anticipated, Naberus’s eyebrows raised.
Is it this situation?
It seemed like he was asking as his gaze went toward the mansion and came back.
“Your Majesty is not here, and yet you say so?”
He was clearly displeased. Beril spoke calmly.
“Yes, but my purpose is not to raise a weapon against him. I have no intention of harming him either.”
“I suppose you would say that.”
Naberus narrowed his eyes, responding with a dull voice.
“And even if such an order was given, I would not listen.”
It was as if he was daring her to give an order.
Naberus clearly had no intention of obeying her.
According to Decarabia, Naberus was a powerful demon ranked fourth in hierarchy. Regardless of rank, there were numerous demons who had fought beside him on the battlefield and followed him.
In other words, an influential demon.
If he began to openly reject her commands, life here would become unbearable.
A showdown was inevitable at some point. It had just been expedited.
In a direction that favored me.
Beril opened her mouth as her vision seemed to clear a little.
“I know you don’t trust me. That my commands are not welcome. This is a world of demons,”
She looked around the mansion.
“Here, we must follow the demons’ rules.”
Naberus’s captivating eyes met hers. Behind her, Decarabia stopped twirling his fan and stared at Beril’s back.
As if focusing solely on Beril’s words.
“Our rules.”
Naberus’s expression had definitely softened compared to earlier.
“I don’t know how much you understand about us, but do you know that in the world of demons, a lot is decided by strength?”
He stared intently at Beril.
“By our rules, you are not in a position to command me.”
“Naberus.”
At that moment, Decarabia spat out his name as if displeased.
Even given the special circumstances, there was a problem with Naberus’s words as Beril was, at the very least, above a demonic duke.
“I was merely explaining our rules.”
Naberus responded compliantly, though his expression was unhappy. He avoided eye contact with Decarabia and eventually looked down.
Yet he did not retract his words.
Naberus had chosen his words rather elegantly, but Decarabia seemed dissatisfied and was about to leave.
“It’s fine. You’re not wrong.”
Beril gestured to her and spoke.
“It’s hard for you to be polite to me for that reason. So I have a proposal.”
Beril looked straight into Naberus’s eyes.
Naberus looked down at the human woman, who seemed to have a face at least two sizes smaller than his, with disdain.
“Are you suggesting arm-wrestling?”
When the male lead is punished by carrying the female lead’s child and having periods like a woman
“I’ve given birth to two children for you, yet you still think about him.
Was I nothing but his substitute to you from beginning to end?”
