《I Am an Evil Lord Yet, Why Are They Happy to Serve Under Me?》Chapter 04 : Gurguit's Plan
Advertisement
It has been a week since I ordered Luna to purge out all of those good-for-nothing servants. And the result? Almost all of the servants in my mansion are gone.
And I am diligently studying under Gurguit. I don't know is it because of him being a knight, he also taught me how a knight should behave. I am sorry Gurguit, I am going to become an Evil Lord. Not a knight.
I also lowered the tax of the citizens. Work, my little piggy banks. Work and make me rich. Make my investment worth it. I had invested most of my money into agriculture, healthcare, and security. All of the money I got from selling useless things from other mansions go to improving the living standards.
I know little to nothing about agriculture. But I need to thank Gurguit for it.
He said, "When I was talking with Lord Altmile, he told me about his quests to patrol around the border to protect his hometown from harm. During the talk, he also told me about his hometown's agricultural system. Leave the problem about agriculture to me, my Lord. As I thought, the only time I sit down and got to talk with Lord Altmile to be able to help in a time like this. As expected of Lord Altmile. He must have foreseen this situation."
Thus, I left the job of teaching agricultural lessons to Gurguit. He will get along with the farmers just fine. He is charismatic after all. Even I got swayed by his words sometimes. Like, encouraging me to run more laps around the mansion even though my body couldn't handle it anymore. Scary, charismatic men are scary.
"Master, it's time for your history lesson," Luna appeared behind me. Goddamnit! Every single time she appeared behind me without former warning. It is not good for my heart.
You need to know about the history of the world you are going to rule. That is the only reason I am learning history. Not because I am scared of Luna, I swear. I don't know why she takes priority of my education above my order. She won't listen if I ordered her that I don't want to learn boring subjects. Come on! You guys are my summoned beings. At least listen to my orders.

[You got something wrong, host. Just by being your summoned doesn't mean they will listen to your orders.]
{Wait, what?} I keep walking toward the study room.
[They won't listen to your order because they are not mindless copies of their original. As I had told you before, they are summoned from their original world. They are not summoned as a servant but as a companion.]
{I see. So, they won't listen to my orders?}
[That is not correct, host. They will listen. But only if it will benefit you. They will do anything that will benefit you even if it makes you hate them. But what you had to know is that they will never betray you.]
{I see. Knowing the fact that they will not betray me is reassuring.}
[You got 1 x for asking one of the most important questions about Summoned beings.]
{Eh? Am I getting a summoning ticket just by asking a question?}
[Only if they are important, host.]
{Then use the ticket. I haven't even summoned Nightingale.}
[Using up 1 x ]
[You got from ]
{Wait, a slave? System, show me something about them.}
[]
[She was a slave who was first sold for 100 Kre to a noble who educated intelligent slaves before he passed away because of some disease. And then, she was sold again but this time for 10 Kre to a knight. After he died, she was back at the slave market for only 1 Kre. She got the nickname from there.]
{I take it that Kre is the currency of her world.}
[You are right, host.]
{Wait, I think I have read about it before in some Isekai Harem LN. I think her name was Delfina something something.}
[That is correct, host. Her name is Delfina Homer Lamanry. I am amazed that you remembered her with little information.]
{She made an impact on me by being one of the most successful female merchants in all the LN I've read. That's all.}

[Are you sure you only remember her just because of her skill, host?]
{Yes, I am sure.}
It's not because of her mature body. Not at all. I mean, I had a caring girlfriend. But almost all the man are horny creatures. All of us need to get a bonk on our head and go to horny jail. Even though my below might not work, I can still appreciate wonderful women.
Back to topic, Luna drill today's portion of this world's history into my head. She is basically smiling while watching me suffer. Is it because I teased her with the word "pad"?
According to the history, I've learned, there were 2 great wars between races. There are 6 races in this world. They are Humans, Demons, Elves, Dwarves, Beastkin, and Merfolk. Humans call every race except Demons as demi-humans. Both of the wars were started by, yup you guess it right, Humans and Demons. All the other races were dragged into the war by them.
There are still small battles between Humans and Demons even now. And we Humans have an old hero who retired. The new hero is still hasn't chosen yet. And Demons have Demon King who is still alive and kicking.
Wait, doesn't that mean my dream of being an Evil Lord is getting further away? It can't go like this. If I want to become someone eviler than a Demon King, I just need to become someone that even he came and beg me to teach him how to become a proper manifestation of evils.
After hours of suffering caused by Luna, I called both Luna and Gurguit. I am going to summon the slave girl.
{System, summon }
[Initiating summoning sequence.]
The light shone inside the room and I see a young girl with short purple hair who is about the age of twelve lying on the floor with blood on the rags which cover her body.
Young Delfina

Adult Delfina

"Luna!" I don't need to tell her what to do. After a blink, the young girl disappears and Luna leads me to the room where the girl is sleeping.
Looking at the girl who is having a nightmare in her sleep, I pat her head. It must be strange for five years old to pat the head of twelve years old. But I pat her head anyway. After a while, she stopped thrashing around the sleep.
I told Luna to stay with her during her sleep and I went to train with Gurguit. Both of us were silent on the way to the training ground.
But then, Gurguit was the first to talk. "My Lord, I know it is presumptuous of me but I do not like slavery."
I get what he is trying to say. "Me too, Sir Gurguit. Me too."
"May I request you something, My Lord?"
"You may."
"Is it okay for you to ban slavery in your territory?"
The charismatic knight who is full of gentleness and righteousness requests me something. He, who doesn't have a single request since the first time we met request me something. I too of course hate slavery. Thus, it is not hard to approve his request.
"I will, Sir Gurguit. I promise you that I will ban slavery in my territory."
"Thank you, My Lord."
"Currently, My Lord's territory is still small. If I were to make it grow, many places will become My Lord's territory and slavery will also be banned in those places," Gurguit thought. And thus, without me knowing, Gurguit had started to think about how to make my territory larger.

The Kings of Thendor - The Two Kings
To some, it would probably be obvious. To others – not so much. In the land of Thendor, where magic is mysterious, unmentioned, and sometimes even disbelieved; where kings, queens, and stewards rule, the ages-old kingdom of Alldel remains without its king. Heirs come and go and no one can explain why each one chooses to abdicate to the steward. And who are these heirs, anyway? Some say the line of kings is dead, while others whisper of magic. Some, though few they are, will tell you other kingdoms have interfered, keeping the line of kings from rising in the nation of Alldel. But why? Adric, son of Cassian, heir to the throne of Alldel has come of age and must answer the question, whether to assume the throne, or abdicate as his ancestors had done for centuries. Raised as a blacksmith by a family friend, Adric struggles with the decision to take up his place as King of Alldel, and to make matters worse, a neighboring kingdom has confirmed the rumors of the common folk. An impossibly old king with a centuries-old message arrives and changes Adric’s life in ways he could never have imagined. Adric must decide the future, and perhaps even the fate of the great kingdom of Alldel. Unprepared for this turn of events, he enlists the help of allied kingdoms and even the mystical nymphs of the Tulusbian forest. Some say his actions will start a war on the continent of Thendor. Ohers say he is resurrecting a long forgotten one from centuries ago. Abdicate, or become king? To some, it would probably be obvious. To others – not so much.
