The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

The human heart is made of flesh.

Of course, Elaric hopes to be remembered for ages, ideally having a statue erected in his honor in Twilight City, revered by thousands.

However, now, let alone being revered, he sees that in a few years he will be berated for all eternity, along with his soul being cast into the deepest depths of Hell.

He feels that he must do something.

Not just for the people of Twilight Province, but for himself as well.

When the Bell Sound at noon rings, he successfully meets the renowned White-haired Duke at Andes Manor outside Thunder City.

With just three sentences of pleasantries, he is deeply impressed by this Grand Duke's charm... This person is truly no ordinary individual!

He finally understands why a young talent like Sir Wesley is willing to be subordinate, loyal to the Royal Family of the Campbell Duchy, and genuinely proud of the Duchy's strength.

'I am merely a soldier, Your Excellency.'

Until sitting before Duke Campbell, this sentence kept echoing in the mind of Baron Governor Elaric, hesitating whether to continue as Governor.

Seeing Elaric's complicated emotions, Edward, ending the pleasantries, slightly pondered and continued in a casual tone.

"...You have just escaped the crisis of Chaos, now carrying the Redemption Cross sent by the Holy City, and the real trouble hasn't even begun. I'm sure you know what I'm referring to. After the Judicial Court leaves, your King will settle accounts with you from last fall."

The Judicial Court troubles the commoners, not the Nobles, but this doesn't mean "counts like Thelon Gard" can secretly rejoice.

After the Judicial Court leaves, the King's first task is to execute a group of Nobles who once cooperated with the Campbell people or the Salvation Army under the guise of clearing Chaos corruption.

Then, erect a statue for the "Griffin Cliff Earl" who fought without retreat, commemorating the soul that will not return to this land, portraying them as the true hero of the war.

Having his whole family perished, he truly is a hero and an intimate friend of "Radiant Knight" Heigmer, Knight Captain of the Lion Heart Knight Order.

As for Governor Elaric, who independently brought reinforcements from the Campbell Duchy, he will be the first traitor to die, and Erin Campbell, who sold her soul to the demon, is no different, whereas Carian from the Rhode Kingdom is purely an exotic witch.

Actually, Carian isn't much of a concern; she's an enemy of the Church Court, and no King truly pays heed to such folk saints.

Edward subtly pointed out Elaric's impending end.

He believes this is a conversation among intelligent people, and as a smart man, Baron Governor Elaric can grasp the implicit meaning without turning the friendly atmosphere into coercion.

Able to sense this Grand Duke's goodwill, Elaric gave a bitter smile, feigning relaxation by shrugging.

"That's unavoidable, after all, I misunderstood Your Majesty's intentions... Perhaps I should bring my wealth here and become a rich man."

"If things truly come to that, the Campbell Duchy will always be the last resort for the Valerius Family, but things haven't progressed that far yet?" Edward smiled and continued, "We have yet to concede defeat, whether me, Sir Wesley, or many Campbell people, all have many scores to settle with that fainthearted tyrant."

"But what can you do?" Elaric sat up straight, probing with a calm tone, "The Judicial Court is with us now, and no one can act."

Edward smiled faintly.

"The Judicial Court is a tool of the King, but it doesn't belong to the King. Now, as the Salvation Army and their New Testament stir trouble, the fainthearted King is helpless, and though Chief Referee Ximenes may not say anything, he surely harbors resentment in his heart."

Elaric did not deny this.

After all, as the Governor of Twilight Province, the Chief Referee had expressed dissatisfaction with his work more than once. He understands that the Chief Referee is not targeting him personally, but is discontent with the appointment of a Baron from the Theoden Faction managing such a large province.

When royal power and noble power balance each other, the grassroots of Twilight Province presents a state of unregulated growth.

On the surface, each village seems to have a church, each manor a Lord; everyone appears orderly like a pastoral scene depicted on murals of Saint Clement Cathedral. But only fools would believe that royal power and church power dominate there.

Every inch of land here has its local order, from Quartermaster Selas to Green Turban Kelan, all incubated from this system.

This seems more like a crude imitation of the Aus Empire's colonial system, except the Empire is colonizing externally and to vassals, while the Devalu family is colonizing internally.

This is why Twilight Province looks half-dead one moment and bursts a million rebel flags when Chaos appears the next.

Chief Referee Ximenes's discontent lies here; he is also a smart man and can see the King's indulgent connivance.

"...But even so, the Judicial Court will not support us rebelling against our Lords," Elaric gazed at Edward, "The King's conduct indeed has issues, but Vassals resisting their Lords contradicts the Church's interests and defies divine law."
