Chapter 33: Chapter 32 Good

"That is the Demon King."

"Mm-hmm."

"That is Miss Hilena, the most skilled maid in the castle."

"Mm-hmm."

"That is Mr. Rainbow Shell, the leader of the Insect-man Clan."

"Mm-hmm."

Five little fairies whispered and chattered during the morning meeting, introducing the leaders of the Demon King Territory to a wild little fairy. It seemed this was a representative of the wild fairies who needed to quickly familiarize herself with the affairs of the Demon King Territory.

"What about that human?"

The wild little fairy asked, referring to Yila, as Yila was the only human present at the meeting. *The little fairies could always distinguish between witches, humans, and vampires.*

"That is Lord Yila."

"Very capable."

"A good person."

"Makes pudding."

"..."

Although Yila didn’t quite understand why the little fairies classified him as a "good, capable pudding-maker," he didn’t mind this and instead listened to the other leaders’ reports.

"Yesterday, Yila gathered us to eradicate the tiger-striped giant wasps. The wasps had occupied the dwelling of the non-Demon King Territory fairies, but they have now been completely cleared. The Queen Bee was also properly utilized. Does anyone need materials from the giant wasps?"

The Black Flame Headless Knight reported this, though many people already knew about it. Satan Ye was also there at the time, and the dead bodies of the giant wasps dragged back by the Headless Knights’ warhorses had been piled up, thoroughly scavenged for materials.

However, she still needed to mention this to inform any colleagues who might not know. Even though ceremonial formalities were not popular in the Demon King Territory, it was still a sign of respect for colleagues to be informed.

At least it needed to be reported at the morning meeting.

"We all saw it."

The Black Knight spoke in a steady voice. He nodded seriously toward Yila and said, "Thank you for saving the fairies. I have always believed that all little creatures should be treated with kindness."

Saying this, the Royal Black Knight, who appeared to be a warm-hearted and gentle man, turned to the Black Flame Headless Knight and said, "I need some of the remaining blood and flesh. The Black Knights can take all of it, but use what you need first."

Hilena noted his request in her notebook, responding, "Understood."

"I need one... no, two~"

Vera, who didn’t participate in the battle, raised her hand and proposed, "I need them for research. If possible, I would like a portion of the Queen Bee’s body tissue."

Hilena: "That can be arranged."

After she finished speaking, Mr. Lime immediately added, though his words were somewhat unnecessary, "If you don’t need the honey and royal jelly, send it all to the kitchen..."

Hilena: "It’s already all meant for the kitchen."

"Should we reserve some as trade materials?"

The Ghost Glasses Girl suggested, pushing up her glasses and calculating, "Since I don’t know their exact value, reserving materials from about ten wasps for trade might be a good idea."

Hilena: "Agreed."

After the Ghost Glasses Girl finished speaking, neither the Blood Clan girl nor the Mechanical Body had any need for the giant wasps...

This indicated that Hilena was not just an ordinary maid. Strictly speaking, since she participated in the distribution of resources, her position was more like a Grand Steward.

"Well then, Lord Demon King?"

With Hilena questioning her, Satan Ye nodded. The matter was quickly settled... If it were the Empire, a discussion like this would have taken at least three morning meetings.

"..."

"The strategy that Yila previously suggested, using succubi’s allure to make seashells voluntarily appear on the beach, was very successful. We have now begun supplementing the shellfish in the Demon King Territory. They can be distributed to the creatures..."

Mr. Lime explained. Everyone knew about this from the previous barbecue lineup. This report should have been given by Hilena or the little fairies, but Hilena was taking notes, and the fairies were training the newcomer.

So, Mr. Lime took up the report.

"Got it."

Satan Ye nodded.

"Regarding diplomatic matters."

The Blood Clan girl spoke. Though she was responsible for national diplomacy, she felt resigned to calling negotiations with rebellious creatures "diplomacy." She stated, "The tribute teams have already set out and will arrive gradually within this quarter."

"By the end of the quarter, we will see how many traitors there are, won’t we, Lord Demon King?"

Satan Ye, being asked by the Blood Clan girl, furrowed her brow, *thinking hard about how to deal with the traitorous clans.* Saying, "At the end of the quarter, issue an ultimatum to the surrounding rebellious territories."

Satan Ye hesitated, gathering her words, "Inform them that if they continue to evade our jurisdiction, we will consider them traitors. How does that sound?"

Satan Ye sought opinions, but her eyes were fixed on Yila’s direction.

"..."

*Don’t look at me, okay? Do you really trust me that much? Why are the Blood Clan girls looking at me too?*

But neither Yila, unfamiliar with the Demon King Territory’s situation, nor anyone else seemed to have any objections, so the Vampire girl confirmed Satan Ye’s decree with a nod.

After that, it seemed like no one else had anything to say...

At this moment, Hilena, having finished organizing matters to be handled, rejoined the morning meeting. She said, "If Lord Yila and Mr. Rainbow Shell don’t need the giant wasps’ spoils, then they should be rewarded."

Indeed, the two individuals who performed outstandingly in the battle against the giant wasps needed to be rewarded. It was worth noting that the rewards were not for the insect-men who participated in the battle, but just for Rainbow Shell, the Insect Leader.

Lower-ranked creatures were considered Satan Ye’s property, so no matter how great their merits, it was just their duty... This system made it hard to say whether it was good or bad.

"..."

But the helpless look Satan Ye gave clearly said, *"Huh? Rewards? Do we even have anything left to reward?"* This was indeed the case.

"I don’t need anything."

Said Rainbow Shell, the Insect Leader.

"Neither do I."

Yila also expressed his stance. In the Empire, Rainbow Shell’s refusal of rewards would have been a way to put Yila on the spot, but this was the Demon King Territory, and Yila genuinely didn’t need any rewards.

The Demon King Territory was already poor enough.

"Mr. Rainbow Shell’s salary will be doubled next month."

Hilena said. With Rainbow Shell and Satan Ye nodding their agreement, she turned to Yila, proposing with a light-hearted tone, "Lord Yila will be granted an independent title and position—’Demon King Governor,’ free to participate in governmental affairs."

"..."

No one had any objections because everyone understood that this was more than just a simple reward. It scarcely contained any element of reward at all.

Understanding this, Yila smiled helplessly but still nodded seriously—

"Alright."
