Chapter 104: Chapter 103: A Girl Transformed

"Let’s start with a hypothesis. Suppose the duchy accepted those races... Let’s use kobolds as an example. What would Duke Hazad gain? Satan Ye, think carefully. What would the duchy gain?"

Yila said this while asking Satan Ye, who was sitting upright. After thinking for a moment, she answered uncertainly, "They would... gain kobolds."

With Satan Ye’s answer, Yila was naturally not satisfied.

Vera, who was sitting idly by and bored, didn’t understand why she had to suffer in the study as well. She shifted her position, sliding down into a half-lying posture on the chair.

Yila wrote the word "Duchy" on a piece of paper on the table. He pointed at it and said, "If kobolds were to join the duchy, what would the kobolds be in the eyes of the duchy?"

"First, let’s start with the most straightforward characterization..."

Yila said this as he wrote and lectured Satan Ye, "First is the reason for leaving the Demon King Territory. In the eyes of the duchy, why would kobolds join them?"

Satan Ye thought about it and then answered uncertainly, "Because they are afraid of being liquidated by the Demon King Territory."

That was indeed one of the reasons, but it wasn’t what Yila intended to explain...

"Indeed, let’s start with that~"

Yila said, drawing a line between "Kobold" and "Duchy", "In the eyes of the duchy, kobolds are liable to be liquidated by the Demon King Territory. In other words, if the duchy wants to use kobolds, they must consider the attitude of the Demon King Territory."

After pointing to "Demon King Territory" and "Duchy," Yila continued, "The duchy doesn’t know the Demon King Territory’s attitude towards kobolds... What if the Demon King Territory is extremely intent on killing kobolds?"

"As the border friction between the duchy and the empire grows increasingly intense, war is only a matter of time. The duchy, setting such a strategy, hopes to recruit some roaming monsters to give the Demon King Territory a good impression and form an alliance."

Yila explained, writing "Duchy National Policy: Be friendly to exotic races to counter the Empire", "If they don’t care about the Demon King Territory’s attitude, they would be acting against their own national policy."

"..."

Satan Ye listened in a daze, her mind racing to digest Yila’s lessons... Although they were obvious once explained, hearing them directly made her feel intellectually overwhelmed by Yila.

Hilena, sitting next to Satan Ye, seemed to understand fully. The other leaders were much older than Satan Ye, so they needed only a slight nudge to understand many things.

But Satan Ye couldn’t; she needed long-term study.

This time, Yila wasn’t giving pointless lessons. He didn’t talk about any "emperor-related" topics and, adhering to the principle of tailoring his teachings, knew that Satan Ye didn’t need such education.

But even the most basic policy logic needed to be understood—you don’t have to know binary quadratic equations, but you must at least understand addition and subtraction within ten, and at least be able to read. That’s the most basic principle.

By this time, Vera had slid completely under the table. She yawned in boredom, secretly complaining in her heart: *So naggy. If I were Isabella, I’d go crazy too.*

In her casual manner, Vera noticed six legs under the table... Long, straight legs in pants, clearly Yila’s from the way he sat upright.

Crossed legs in black silk stockings, with just the right amount of flesh, obviously belonged to Hilena’s enchanting legs... If it were the distant cousin of an enchantress, a Female Night Demon, then the beautiful legs would be replaced by furry goat hooves.

Vera didn’t fancy those.

Next to that, fair and tender legs in white silk stockings clearly belonged to Satan Ye, who had a similar dressing habit to Isabella but with a different style... After all, Satan Ye wore skirts while Isabella generally wore robes.

Vera scrutinized with this posture, looking like a perverted girl.

...

"*The uncertainty of the Demon King Territory’s attitude towards kobolds* is just one reason the duchy might not accept kobolds. I’m using kobolds as an example, representing all territories preparing to defect to the duchy."

Yila continued, "First is ’first’, so there’s also ’second’. Let’s talk about the ’impression’ I mentioned earlier."

He pointed to "Kobolds" and, looking at Satan Ye who seemed lost in thought, he said, "From the duchy’s viewpoint, kobolds are seen as those who haven’t paid taxes..."

Yila was still explaining in detail when, at that moment... he felt something touch his leg.

"Whoosh!"

In an instant, Yila sprang up, retreating and staring in surprise at Vera under the table. He opened his mouth, not knowing what to say... *A thousand thoughts filled his mind, but he didn’t know how to begin.*

In the end, those myriad words condensed into one sentence—

"Are you out of your mind?"

Yila questioned Vera while Vera’s attention and guilty hand already reached towards Hilena and Satan Ye. Taking advantage of their lack of reaction, Vera succeeded in her mischief.

"Eek!"

"Ugh..."

Satan Ye and Hilena quickly stood up, staring at Vera, who was mischievously under the table... At this moment, Vera showed a satisfied expression, rubbing her hands as if comparing the sensations.

"You’re not a kid anymore. Why are you still acting like a mischievous brat?!!!!"

Facing Yila’s exasperated question, Vera’s fists tensed at the keyword, then softened in 0.000002 seconds. She nonchalantly spread her hands and looked up at Yila, saying, "Well, well, I was really bored~"

"But..."

Satan Ye weakly interjected, patting her calf where Vera had just touched her, looking at Vera warily, "Miss Vera came here on her own..."

Huh? Is that so?

*So Vera thought.* She tilted her head, realizing it seemed to be so, then coughed and said, "Ahem, anyway, it’s all Yila’s fault. We’re listening to you. Why do you have to jabber on so much? Be careful; Satan Ye might start to dislike you!"

With Vera’s alarming words, Satan Ye immediately shook her head to show she wouldn’t dislike Yila.

"..."

Yila understood the logic, but...

Yila: "Then why did you touch my leg?"

Vera: "Just a reflex, just a reflex~"

Finally, Vera, like a cat grabbed by the neck, was thrown out of the study by Yila.

——————————

"Ah, so rough, Yila~"

Vera stood up, rubbing her butt. She watched Yila walk back into the study, complaining aloud.

...

*The Governor was really outrageous. Not even a fleck of skin could be scratched from his legs. I’ll just have to think of something else.*
