Demon Lord Wants to Laze

Mao Dara the 2nd

Lesson 65: The Queen Is Struggling

Candlelight illuminates Sylvia's sleeping face.

My beloved daughter has fallen asleep on her desk because of her hard work late at night.

I'd like to put a blanket on that shoulder, but it's hard for me to do that right now.

"Suyasuya, you're asleep. I can't believe I put the paperwork on my pillow. I'm gonna have a nightmare."

"Don't say it. I went through this a long time ago, but I'm really tired."

"Right. For some time after you became a lord too, you were soaked in work. Like Sylvia now."

"... Damn. I didn't want to go through all this trouble with my daughter."

"That, whose fault is it?

A gaze flies through me.

It's a mixture of 20% scorn and 80% mockery.

"Isn't that nice? What's wrong with loving my child to the best of your ability?"

"Even if it's not malicious, it can be done. In fact, Sylvia didn't like it."

"You know, beast discrimination is deeply rooted. If you hadn't done that popularity, you'd have had a hard time in a different situation."

"Well, yeah. Thanks to that puzzling article, you've become loved by many people. I don't think she meant it."

Sylvia's position as an Orc is actually quite brittle.

I've only ever lived safely because there was a watchdog named me.

Without me, discontent will always erupt.

It was easy to predict that the people I'd ever had an affair with would return their palms.

In fact, King Grant started a rebellion.

Anxiety-agitated, I took the lead and wrote articles all over the place.

I was desperate to write so that Sylvia could be loved by people.

By the way, he reflects on overdoing the writing of "Sylvia Tan Quotes".

A little too much momentum.

"But it's tough being a king. I thought it was a more glamorous job."

"It's plain enough. It's just a fraction of the social world dressed in luxury for a meeting. It will take longer to glimmer with the letters."

"It's just a bunch of hard stuff. Look, in the draft of the new law, in the review of tax rates, in the list of dignitaries and important establishments, in foreign policy... you can be flaky."

"In fact, it will. So I decided to remember only one thing."

"What's one of them?

"Chris, I've got this spell."

"You're a bad guy."

Everything was nostalgic about the documents that were put in a mess.

I can't help but notice what was placed at the top of it.

Apparently, it's still about to be written.

"This sounds like a slogan. Still unfinished."

"What. 'Let's not look back on the past, let's look to the future. Today and tomorrow than yesterday."

"Yeah, yeah, that sounds good. That's Sylvia Tang."

"... you have nowhere to look and think about this?

"No, really, I'm sorry"

"I wish I could tell Sylvia herself that."

Moko says things that don't even start with his mouth.

Stop because you're going to miss me.

"But I dare you to disagree. I don't know about that quote..."

"Whoa, an earthquake."

"Really. That's unusual."

Not a big one.

Still, I was distracted by a few years of earthquake and watched how it went.

You don't seem to have to worry, I just left the furniture in the room shaking for a while.

"So, about the quotes,"

"... no way,"

"Hey, listen to me"

"Huh? Yeah, I'm sorry. Go on, go on."

Moko's eyes grow big on purpose.

This is a nasty thing to do.

We've known each other a long time, don't think we can fool each other easily.

"You're hiding something."

"That's not true. I have nothing."

"Say it! I know it's disgusting!

"Okay, I said I'd talk to you if I was sure! It's hard to get uncertain information, isn't it?

"... xoxo. Absolutely, right?

"Yeah, I promise."

Temee, are you kidding me?

The tone returned as if it had gone away at all costs.

I'm sure it's to distract you.

Its insides are a separate hassle.

That's what I thought as I looked into Moko's not laughing eyes.
