Finally, Kriemhild’s group arrived.
Since there were so many of them, I asked them to nominate a representative, including Kriemhild’s assistant.
She seemed to think that she was the only one, and she was feinted at…
“You’ve just moved here and taking care of 300 people … can you do it by yourself?”
They were convinced, but for some reason, they laughed at me.
They’re definitely thinking of something bad.
I thought it would be best to bring Ms. Despina to her tribe a little later, so I held her back when she wanted to meet them.
It would only be risky to bring in more uncertainty when there was so much uncertainty about the migration.
Naturally, Ms. Despina would not hate them.
But there is still some fear.
In other words, she’s healthy, but recovering.
Of course, I could have welcomed them with her to show that I believed in her.
However, there was one problem.
Ms. Despina has done something unbelievable for a demon.
I don’t know if she’s told her this, but if she hasn’t, that’s a problem.
In fact, it is more likely that she has not dared to talk about it.
It’s that “she has broken her horn”.
Gerald told me that it was extremely painful.
It would have been for the sake of the child, but… it was pointless in the end.
I thought that the demon tribe would be confused and terrified to see someone with such a past.
Would a person with such a tragic past be able to let go of their resentment towards them?
I can’t blame them for thinking so.
The reason why I didn’t let her meet with them will be explained at the representatives’ meeting.
The ostensible reason is that they are murderously busy with the new Ministry of Education, so they will meet again at a later date.
I honestly don’t know if this is the best way.
But the risk was too great.
Because of her upbringing, Ms. Despina is very sensitive to negative emotions emanating from people.
You can see that in Arshinoe.
She is very shy… but more than that, she is afraid of negative emotions and is probably a coward.
There, when the demon tribe finds out that she doesn’t have horns, if they feel fear…
You can probably guess what happens after that.
There was a possibility that Kriemhild might have told the tribe…
In addition to the migration, there were people who were related to her, and anxious about being in an important position.
If you think about it… there was a good chance that she wouldn’t dare to explain it to them and would think it would be better to resolve it after meeting them.
People who don’t hold grudges are naturally indifferent to people who hold grudges or feel fear of being turned inside out.
It can’t be helped, it’s harder to understand the emotions that you don’t have, and even the emotions that are hidden in the hearts of others.
Just as a refreshed person can’t understand the spirit of a persistent person, the reverse is also true.
Thankfully, Kriemhild guessed that I had something deeper in mind when I didn’t bring Ms. Despina.
I’m really grateful that she didn’t take it personally.
I think I’ll leave the demon children to the boss (Manora) after things have calmed down a bit.
Arshinoe is very attached to Manora…
Kiara wanted to go ahead and talk a little bit, but I stopped her after telling Kriemhild about it at the representatives’ meeting.
In the evening at the representatives’ meeting.
Kriemhild and a middle-aged demon man attended the meeting.
After Kriemhild introduced herself, the man from the demon tribe introduced himself.
“I am Theobald Lichtenstein. I’ve been Kriemhild’s guardian. I’m a newcomer here, and I don’t know my way around, but I look forward to working with you.”
He was about 40 years old, a little over 160 meters tall.
He was black with red mesh and black eyes.
I think he might be a distant relative of Kriemhild.
I looked around at the group, but they seemed to be looking for someone who seemed to be a demon.
I knew it, she hadn’t told them.
When everyone was seated, I made my statement.
“First of all, should I call you Ms. Kriemhild and Mr. Lichtenstein?”
Theobald shook his head quietly.
“Theobald is fine, my lord.”
“Then, Ms. Kriemhild and Mr. Theobald, you will be in charge of the important positions in Ravenna. Your first priority is to reassure the newcomers, though.”
Kriemhild and Theobald nodded in silence.
I gave them a quick word of warning and resumed my conversation.
“First of all, I’d like to clear up a small doubt that you both have. It’s regarding the fact that Ms. Despina didn’t come to welcome you.”
Ms. Despina bowed.
Theobald seemed surprised to see that.
I looked at the two of them and opened my mouth.
“As you can see, Ms. Despina has broken her horn. If Kriemhild hadn’t told everyone about it…”
Theobald nodded and looked at me to see if he could say something.
I nodded silently.
“Indeed, we will be confused. Kriemhild didn’t tell me about this…”
Kriemhild looked uncomfortable.
I guess she did it knowing of it.
“I’m sorry, Theo, but I wanted the migration to be a success for Despina’s sake. That’s why I didn’t want to talk about the unimportant factors that could be used as reasons for opposition…”
Theobald shook his head in disgust.
“Kriemhild always gets ahead of herself… You could have at least told me.”
This is sermon time.
But I’ll let you do that later in the other room.
I cleared my throat and stopped them.
“You can talk about it later with Ms. Kriemhild, Mr. Theobald, Ms. Despina, and her husband Mr. Gerald. From day one, if Kriemhild-san’s image is fixed as a character who is preached at… she’ll be used as a source of amusement here.”
They all smirked.
Kriemhild’s face turned into one of embarrassment.
I cleared my throat again and continued the discussion.
“The four of you should discuss and decide when to introduce Ms. Despina for these reasons and concerns.”
The four of them nodded.
Theobald looked at me admiringly.
“I can’t thank you enough for your deep consideration of our situation. It looks like I’ll be free from babysitting Kriemhild now.”
Kriemhild looked at Theobald with a protesting stare, but quieted down when he glared back at her.
The grins on their faces deepened.
I didn’t care and started talking about something else.
“Now that the demons have arrived, we’ll put the plan we’ve been waiting for into action.”
Kiara’s eyes lit up.
Kriemhild and Theobald, naturally, had no idea what was going on.
Kriemhild raised her hand, and I nodded silently.
“What’s the plan that’s been waiting for us? Do you need our help in any way?”
“No, not at all. We waited for you to arrive because if we activated this plan, it could endanger you and your people during the migration. Now, Kiara. Please let the beastmen prisoners under Dorius hear this secretly. “It seems that Dorius’ defeat has motivated other non-human species to cooperate with us. If we work together to attack Dorius, the beastmen under his command will sabotage or revolt.”.”
Kiara smiled broadly.
“I’ve been waiting for it. I’ll arrange it as soon as tomorrow.”
Kriemhild and Theobald looked at me for an explanation.
Well, of course.
“But first… we haven’t introduced ourselves yet. Let’s get that done.”
I forgot to mention this in all the talk about Ms. Despina…
Finally, Kriemhild’s group arrived.
