The day after the inauguration ceremony, Allen woke up early, and Lola was helping him put on his clothes when Lamer came. Now, this Hidden Demon General had become the chief steward of the Dark Shadow Castle. He was in charge of the affairs inside and outside the castle, and he also had to shoulder the responsibility of leading the Dark Shadow Army. There were many more affairs than Allen, the new master of the Empire. Allen saw Lamer in the side hall, and behind the general stood two women. The two were identical in stature and appearance, except that one had black hair and the other had red hair. They were twins. Speaking of twins, Allen thought of the Sea Dragon Knight sisters. He wondered how the people on Heavenly Planet were doing now. While he was distracted, he heard Lamer cough dryly. "Your Majesty, this is Peggy and Perrin. From today onwards, they will be responsible for taking care of your daily life in the Shadow Fortress. Their combat strength is also passable, and if not, they can also block swords for Your Majesty when needed. "
”
The black-haired one was called Peggy, the elder sister. The red-haired one was Perrin, the younger sister. The two sisters knelt behind Lamer and bowed to Allen. "Peggy, Perrin greets Your Majesty."
Allen nodded and raised his hand. An invisible force field lifted the two sisters and motioned for them to get up. He then called Lola and had the twins follow Lola from now on. The three women temporarily left. Lamer laughed dryly. "Your Majesty, I'm afraid the next few days will be busy. This is the itinerary I've drawn up for the next week. Please take a look."
He handed over a tablet, on which was the itinerary for the next week. For example, today Allen needed to meet with the remaining Imperial Great Generals. Because four Great Generals had died at Allen's hands and in the Garter Domain, there were only six Great Generals left. Therefore, Allen had to decide on the replacement Great Generals. Lammer had already drawn up a list, which included Bai and Twilight. As for the next day, Allen would need to meet with the nobles and ministers of the Empire to discuss the future development of the Empire. The ministers would also need to get to know Allen better. After that, Allen would need to go to the eastern front of the Empire and tour the provinces. It could be said that Allen's schedule was full, causing his eyes to glaze over. Beside him, Lammer coughed softly and said, "It's not easy to govern a country. Although the previous His Majesty rarely asked about state affairs, he was still His Majesty Spenak. So, Your Majesty Allen, if you want the entire Empire to work for you, just relying on yesterday's shock is far from enough. "
Allen smiled helplessly. Of course, he understood what Lamer meant. As a Sovereign, even Frius had to avoid a battle with Spenak. With such a combat strength by his side, it didn't matter much whether Spenak handled the affairs of the empire or not. However, he, Allen, was still not a Sovereign. Even if he looked at the entire universe with his combat strength, he was still the number one person below the Sovereign. But as long as he wasn't a Sovereign, he couldn't compare to Spenak. Spenak could ignore the affairs of the court, but he couldn't, so he needed to make up for the distance between him and Spenak in other ways. This was also the purpose of Lammer's itinerary.
After breakfast, Allen saw several Imperial Great Generals in the Shadow Hall. Including Davelyn and Lammer, the remaining six Great Generals were all present. This meeting took almost an entire day. At around four in the afternoon, Allen returned to his palace. He took off the Demon King's armor and changed into loose casual clothes. He walked into a round pavilion with a pointed roof and sat down in the pavilion. From here, Allen could see the entire Demonic Ring City. It was getting late, and the setting sun shone down on the city, gilding the black and red capital with a layer of golden yellow, making the colors of the entire city relatively soft. Looking at the city under the setting sun, he thought of Babylon. That dreamy floating island had crashed in the invasion of Nelm, and he didn't know if it had been repaired yet. Allen still clearly remembered the first time he arrived in Babylon, he was awed by the incomparably magnificent atmosphere of the floating island. The current Demonic Ring City was not much smaller than Babylon, and it was even more majestic. Its historical background was not something that Babylon could compare to. But looking at the city, Allen didn't feel that kind of shock.
After all, he was no longer the youth on the surface who had first arrived on the floating island.
After experiencing so much, he continued to grow through the hardships. His wealth was rising like a snowball. He was now the ruler of a country, and the power and wealth he possessed had already reached the goal he had pursued back then. Now, no one could deprive him of his freedom as easily as they had in the past, not even Orfasis.
But …
Allen raised his hand and reached out to catch the Origin Energy radiance that shone down from the sunlight. Naturally, he couldn't catch anything. This was a bit like his current mood. Spenak suddenly threw him this gift. It looked as beautiful as the Origin Energy fluorescence, but it always gave people a dreamy feeling of falsehood.
He smiled self-deprecatingly, "In the end, it's not something that I've worked for myself. I always feel a little unrealistic."
At this moment, a chuckle sounded outside the round pavilion, followed by a woman's whisper. Allen turned around from behind the pillar. It turned out to be the Paggie sisters. They were trimming the flowers and trees outside the pavilion, chatting as they worked. Allen looked at them and felt emotional. His arrival had indeed affected the lives of many people, and even their future destinies. Not to mention far away, Beamf had died yesterday, and the three clans had been removed from their names. Thousands of people had been implicated. At this moment, even the trajectory of these sisters' lives had become completely different.
While Allen was lost in his thoughts, the red-haired Perrin inadvertently glanced at the round pavilion and saw a corner of her clothes hanging from behind the pillar. Perrin immediately pulled at her sister, and Paggie, who was still smiling, looked over. Her expression immediately changed. She led Perrin into the round pavilion and shouted, "Who is it! How dare you, this is His Majesty's private palace, how can you … "
When the two girls walked behind the pillar and saw that it was Allen, the two girls were shocked and quickly knelt down, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, we didn't know it was you."
Of course, Allen wouldn't argue with them. He smiled and pulled them up, "It's okay, you guys can do your own things. Don't worry about me, I'll just sit here. That, I won't disturb you, right? "
The two girls were somewhat flattered and shook their heads to say no. Then they left the round pavilion and continued to trim the flowers from afar. After a moment, the red-haired Perrin seemed to be unable to hold it in and said softly, "Sister, this Majesty seems to be very different from the previous one. That Majesty wouldn't say what he did just now. Maybe we would have already lost our heads. "
”
"You talk too much. Just do your job." Paige knocked on her sister's head.
The latter stuck out her tongue and made a face. She quietly looked back at the pavilion and saw that Allen was still in a daze. Only then did she feel relieved and turn back to continue working.
Allen smiled in the pavilion. He actually heard the conversation between the two sisters. What they said should also be the voice in the hearts of many people in the empire.
He was never Spenak.
Allen suddenly raised his hand and waved his fist in the air, saying in a voice that only he could hear, "I'm not Spenak in the first place. Why do I have to live in his shadow? Besides, no matter how much they imitate, the Demon King is the Demon King to them. "
"And I, am Allen, a human!"
As if he had untied a knot in his heart, Allen stood on the ground and stretched in the sunset. On the way back, he passed by the two sisters and patted them on the shoulder. "Keep up the good work." Leaving the baffled twins behind, Allen returned to the bedroom.
At dinner time, Lamer came, not to eat, but to bring a message.
"Oh, there's a messenger from Frius coming to visit tomorrow?" Allen put a piece of barbecue in his mouth and chewed it carefully. He didn't know what ingredients it was, but it tasted similar to barbecue steak. However, what was certain was that there were no animals like cows on Agares. It was hard for the palace kitchen to put in so much effort for him, the new master, to use local ingredients to restore the recipes on Earth. However, this also saved many human slaves, especially those with talent in cooking. They left the dirty slave market and came to the Shadow Castle to be reborn.
Just as Allen thought, his arrival affected the fate of many people, and this influence would gradually expand over time.
Lamer didn't seem to be used to human food. Although Allen invited him to eat with him, the general stopped after a few bites. After eating a few mouthfuls, he no longer touched the knives and forks on the table. He brought a message. An emissary from Dobia's side would arrive tomorrow, and it was Fire Demon Berukai. Berukai was Frius's left and right arms, so at certain times, he could be regarded as Frius's personal arrival. This time, his arrival was obviously at the will of the Black Emperor. More importantly, in Dobia's notice, it was clearly stated that Fire Demon had sent a congratulatory gift on behalf of Frius to celebrate Allen becoming the new emperor of the Demonic Shadow Empire.
Lamer said, "No matter what His Majesty's intentions are, with this congratulatory gift, it is equivalent to him acknowledging everything Your Majesty has. This will be of great help to you in consolidating your throne. "
"In that case, should I thank Friusro?" Allen smiled and said, "Fortunately, I gave him a few cuts on Eternal Night Star. Fortunately, he didn't hold a grudge."
Lamer's eyes widened. No one knew what happened to Allen on Eternal Night Star. This was also the first time Lamer had heard of it. He knew that Allen wouldn't lie, but if it was the truth, it would be too shocking. This time, even Lamer was stunned for a long time before saying, "Your Majesty is truly extraordinary."
The next day, Fire Demon Berukai came as expected. Originally, Allen wanted to meet the high-ranking officials in the city, but he could only temporarily cancel it. In the Shadow Hall, Allen sat on the throne. Berukai walked in with a few guards from Falling City and then knelt down to Allen, as if he was meeting the Emperor of the Empire. It could be considered as giving Allen enough face.
Then, in front of the ministers in the hall, he said to Allen, "Your Majesty, this time I am under the orders of His Majesty Frius to deliver an agreement." His Majesty believes that our two countries have been at war for many years, and the disadvantages outweigh the advantages. Therefore, I hope that His Majesty Allen can accept our proposal. In the next hundred years, I hope that our two countries will temporarily stop fighting and give the country and its people some time to recuperate. What does Your Majesty think? "
For a moment, everyone in the hall, including Allen, thought that they had heard wrongly.
