After Being Sold Out By The Empire, I Decide To Assist The Demon King

"Olfirus! What's going on?"

Grand Duke Novak questioned the female noble in front of him loudly. He frowned tightly and asked her in a serious tone: "Explain to me why Caesar's royal guards appeared on the battlefield?!"

In other words, why does the Caesar Royal Guard still exist after the merger? !

"Why not?"

And the one who answered him in this way was a girl named Orpheus who was gently drinking tea... She seemed to be very in line with people's impression of "noble girl", and it could even be said to be Stereotype.

Knitted silk coat, beautiful felt, scarf, a beautiful gemstone necklace, slender hands elegantly holding a teacup, beautiful chestnut curly hair, a pair of small pointed boots.

Of course, there is nothing missing...skin as white as milk, like a little girl who doesn't know much about the world, and eyes shining like pearls.

However, her real age is very doubtful, just like the very young-looking Grand Duke Novak...it must be a fake loli.

"Since it's a war, naturally all the troops need to participate. Defending the home and the country... it should be so."

For Orfirus who said this, Grand Duke Novak slapped the table violently, and he yelled angrily: "You should be clear, this war is just a cover! We only need to make sure that the former Caesar Duchy is weakened. old man!"

After all, those old people who normally want to restore the glory of the Principality of Caesar basically don't do anything except rely on the old to sell the old... They don't engage in production, they don't want to become officials, and they don't have money but put on airs all day long.

I heard there are many

That's why there is this war.

Either recognize the reality, use the merits in the war to determine their new status in the Principality of Hazard, and become a new noble...or obey the arrangement and die on the battlefield.

And the empire is also very cooperative, because they can indeed obtain new territories, and even obtain territories relatively easily... But afterwards, it is impossible for the empire to spit out the swallowed meat.

Therefore, the principality also needs to grasp one of the degrees.

"It's so straightforward... This is not a secret worth telling."

Orfirus said so, and she, who was wearing black stockings, pushed a free teacup to Novak and said, "Would you like a cup of golden apple tea? The dried fruit is in the bag beside it."

"..."

For the unhurried attitude of Orfirus, Novak could only forcefully suppress the anger in his heart, took out a few pieces of dried golden apples in the bag, and picked up the kettle to make a cup of fruit tea for himself.

"Give me some water, too."

Being commanded like this, Grand Duke Novak frowned, but he still added water for her, and then asked: "What are you going to do? Caesar's Royal Guard, why don't you dismantle it?!"

This is a very reasonable choice. Whether it is a surrendered troop on the battlefield or a troop recruited by a hostile nobleman, if you want to take it for your own use, the first step should be to dismantle it one by one, and then evenly assigned to existing units.

Originally, Grand Duke Novak thought that Orfirus did the same, but it turned out that this was not the case.

"If you don't explain the reason, I will propose to all the members of the assembly to remove you as the speaker and deprive you of your position as a member at the next big meeting."

For Grand Duke Novak's statement, Orfirus still didn't look too anxious. She shook her head gently and said, "Because it can't be dismantled, Novak...you are just a member of parliament."

The potential meaning of these words is... Orpheus is the speaker, so there is no need to explain too much to Novak.

Seeing Novak's tightly frowned brows, Orpheus drank tea calmly, and then said in a little more detail: "Let the royal guards kill the enemy recklessly on the battlefield until they die in battle or become famous." ...as a declaration of the official beginning of the war."

"..."

These words made Grand Duke Novak feel like falling into an ice cave.

It's not because of 【Let the royal guards kill enemies recklessly on the battlefield】, because this is understandable. If there is really no way for the Caesar Royal Guards to have a sense of belonging to the Hazard Principality, then they can only fight against the nobles of Caesar. dead or something.

But, what did Orfirus say next?

"The war officially started?"

Novak repeated Orfirus' words like this. He thought a lot in an instant, widened his eyes, and asked, "You mean, do you want to continue this war between the Principality and the Empire?"

Originally, Novak and other councilors knew that at a certain moment, they had a tacit agreement with the empire to stop the war in exchange for several secondary cities.

The empire has gained land and has yet to lose an army.

The principality has dealt with internal conflicts, but has not yet settled down.

It should be such a win-win situation!

"The principality has been divided for too long, Novak."

Orfirus said, she seemed to be calm no matter what happened, and said with such an attitude: "Caesar will not come to an end, our only way can only be fusion, but this is too difficult."

Having said that, Novak also understands the purpose... to shift the conflict to the outside and facilitate integration with foreign enemies. This is really a classic, but it is still a useful method.

However, it must be more than that...

"anything else?"

As Novak said, he looked into Orfirus' eyes and questioned her: "In the end, we will definitely not just give up like this? Even if you are holding on to the loss, you have to let the war intensify ?!"

It's only natural, because...

"The strength of the empire is no longer as tyrannical as it used to be... The millennium monster war has severely damaged the vitality of the empire and the areas controlled by monsters. This is an opportunity we can take advantage of."

Saying this, Orfirus tapped the table with her delicate fingers, and said, "Novak, the empire's supremacy that has lasted for thousands of years is coming to an end... You know, the empire's dominance is coming to an end... Things can’t be called good.”

There are not many people who can see this, but Novak and Orfirus can be counted as two - inside the empire, because of Iraq's defection, the situation is like a time bomb that may explode at any time.

The Iraqi faction...is really an unstable factor for the empire.

"But as long as Iraq speaks, then King Isabella can still control the Iraq faction."

For Novak who said this, Orfirus glanced at him and said with a smile: "Can you do something, Novak? Based on your friendship with Ira Alcaras?"

Regarding this, Novak could only shake his head. At most, he could only be regarded as Ira's [acquaintance], not a [friend], not even an [acquaintance]... However, Orfi Ruth already knew that. Expected.

Orpheus: "Then, let's use the second plan..."

Novak: "Let me ask, what is the plan?"

Orfirus: "I heard...Ira Alcaraz likes loli?"

Novak: "...you try it, it won't hurt anyway."
