The Contractor of the New Sister Devil

"Ah~ don't take it to heart. Regarding you and Zokir, I have something to reflect on myself."

"So..."

Dongcheng Blade even expressed his understanding.Originally thought that Jeste was working under Luqia and could still smile like just now, which surprised him-in the end, he misunderstood.Just laughed, because Xuela accepted her as a subordinate because of her own consideration.and so--

"...Thank you very much, Miss Xuela."

Blade even bowed his head to thank Xuela who was sitting on his lap.Xuela did understand Jeste's position in that incident, but that was also after becoming a hostage of Zokir.Generally speaking, she is not responsible for taking care of Zokir's subordinates, but -

"It's nothing, because you usually take care of Maria so much, and you are desperately fighting with Zokir because of my business... it's just an atonement."

Xue La said with a wry smile.At this time, Wan Liya drank the tea in one sip——

"—Then now, it's time for me to atone for my sins."

After saying this calmly, he got up from the sofa.

"No problem, do you want me to accompany you?"

"No need, Master Mio. I have to explain this matter myself...I want to make it clear that I have done everything, so that Sister Lucia will scold me."

Wan Liya shook her head at Mio who was worried about her--

"Everyone, please continue to rest-I will come as soon as I go."

After speaking with a smile on his face, he left the room calmly.

Naruse Marie left the room and sighed softly, then-

"——————"

Remove the smile, the expression stays still.

Then walked slowly towards the office of her sister Luqia.

Inside the wide city of Verda—Varia just walked through the corridor alone.

——I don't know how many deacons or maids passed by on the way, but she never talked to them.

Because she was staring at the ground along the way.

……is that OK.

Wan Liya is not worried about herself-but a few of Blade Gen and Min.With the help of the master-slave contract, the combat effectiveness of Blade Geng, Mio and Yuxi has been strengthened several times, and the walnut power has been added. After coming here, Jeste also joined.

Compared with Wanliya, who can only temporarily become an adult, she has the power of a high-level demon clan. And unlike herself who is only good at housework, she has been trained by a maid. In life They must be able to give the blade the same assistance.

……no problem.

Marie Naruse, who walked with her head down, smiled at the certainty in her heart.

Soon-she stopped.Lifting his head, there is a door in front of him.

"……………………"

Valeria clenched her right fist, knocked on the door twice, and said:

"——Sister Lucia, Maria is here."

A soft...but clear voice came from behind the door.

"...Is it all right?

Put a short question on Wanliya.So Wan Liya nodded and answered:

"Sure... this is enough, thank you for giving me the time."

After a few seconds-

"Really—then come in.

There was a chilling voice—at the same time the heavy wooden door opened by itself.

After Wilbert's death, the enthronement of the new Demon King Leohart created a new force.

That is the current Demon King faction formed by the fusion of radicals and conservatives.

However-the highest decision-making power of the current Demon King faction is not just in Leohart's hands.

Because there are still some high-level demons that are difficult to count.

The Cardinal, the organization that elected Leohart as the new demon king, has seven deadly sins-namely "arrogance", "jealousy", "rage", "laziness", "greed", "gluttony", " "Lust" is the symbol of the seven seats.just now--

"——I never expected that the Marquis of Zokir would die like this."

"That's right. The thought of never going to his playground again: I feel regretful."

"What's the problem with this... It's not just him who can open the playground. Wouldn't it be enough to let someone else take over? It would be a shame if the banquets and women there were so gone."

These demons are located in the current Demon King Sect's Royal City-the lowest underground level, in the high-level cabinet meeting room that only a few people know about.They were sitting at the round table in the center of the room, and you talked to each other before the upcoming meeting. The topic revolved around the death of Zokir, who used to sit in the seat of "lust".

"Speaking of which, why did he die when he was suspended for inspection... He was suspended because he wanted to attack Wilt's only daughter. Maybe he was retributed."

"Are you saying you were cursed by Wilbert? Stop making trouble... I think he is playing with his masterpieces all day long, so he will kill himself."

"It makes sense." When everyone laughed so low--

"……………………"

Someone closed his eyes and remained silent.The young Demon Race who sits on the eighth seat outside the Seven Deadly Sins---the young man with a sharp eyebrow is the current Demon Lord Leohart.

He listened to the Cardinals talking about Zokir's death endlessly--

...A group of lustful old thieves.

In my heart, he coldly thought it disdain.If you don't speak directly, there is a reason why he can't do it.

——Now, the Cardinal House has the same power as the Demon King Leohart or higher.

On the surface, the rhetoric is to prevent excessive centralization.The Cardinal is not only an advisory body for the Demon King. If Leohart is determined to be too out of control in exercising his power, it can also serve as an insurance effect to remove the Demon King's status.But-it is not the case.

Leohart did have outstanding achievements in the previous war, but he was selected as the new devil purely because he was the best tool for the Cardinal.

On the one hand, recommending young Leohart to become the devil can show the military and civilians the youthfulness of the political core and attract more support; on the other hand, they are easy to exert political influence on the Leohart elected by themselves.Although the power or combat power of a single councilor is lower than Leohart, if Leohart opposes the overall decision of the Cardinal, they can drag him off the throne of the devil on the spot.

So in fact, the political core has not been younger, but has retreated to the political system dominated by the Cardinals as before Wilbert's reign.Just as far as the status quo is concerned, if Leohart wants to keep his position as the demon king, he must let the Cardinal use it.

But that's at best in terms of the status quo.
