Chapter 802



-Duke Daughter Ekaterize’s Head Maid’s POV-

Good day.

My name is Henrietta.

Henrietta Argason.

I am a 25 year old human woman.

I am the head maid to the young duchess, Ekaterize-sama.

-0-

Ekaterize-sama has run away to a certain village of the Demon King’s Kingdom for some reason or another.

She is doing her best.

However, reality is harsh and you can’t live with ideals alone.

To be more precise, we don’t have enough money.

We have no money to pay our wages and of course, we have no money for our living expenses either.

The money we took from Ekaterize-sama’s parents’ house before we fled were spent in doing various things.

Reality is truly harsh.

In any case, most of the colleagues who accompanied Ekaterize-sama have gone to work in Shashaato City.

We are like migrant workers.

We are not exiled after all.

The period of assignment is indefinite, no salary is paid during the assignment, and all the salary earned during the assignment belongs to the person who worked so it almost sounds like an exile but…..we’re not exiled.

Ekaterize-sama is not the kind of person who would destroy her subordinates.

She can go to Shashaato City anytime by using the teleportation gate so she can see us anytime she wants.

By the way, the destinations of us migrant workers are……

『If you can read and write, that’s enough. If you can calculate, you are more than welcome. Loyalty to the Demon King’s Kingdom? I’m more interested in the accuracy of your writings and calculations than such vague things!』

That’s what was proudly displayed in the workplace we applied for.

However, blatantly saying that you don’t need to be loyal to the kingdom itself, won’t you receive any complaints from the Demon King’s Kingdom?

Well, it’s good news for us though.

All of us who accompanied Ekaterize-sama can read, write, and calculate. We also have mastered the human kingdom’s etiquette style.

It is an ideal place to work.

The problem is that they are trying to encourage all of us to stop working with Ekaterize-sama and just work here.

I’m grateful for that offer but I will refuse.

Eh?

The person who manages the workplace?

It’s Miyo-sama, the chief of staff of Governor Ifrus of Shashaato City.

She looks like a little girl but you can’t judge the age of anyone in the Demon King’s Kingdom with their appearance so none of us underestimated her.

According to my judgment, Miyo-sama is the type whose appearance doesn’t match her age.

It is safe to assume that she’s older than me.

Sending most of the people accompanying her out to work will only prevent Ekaterize-sama from losing money, not gain more.

Ekaterize-sama is trying to make it by working in the fields but it’s not going well since we don’t know the climate in this place.

Well, I think she’s a genius so I’m sure she will be able to do it in five years.

Yeah, she’s a genius.

After all, she has been passionate about developing beauty products since she was a child and the beauty products and gourmet products she has produced have been said to be national treasures.

She is currently struggling with the differences between humans and demons and between human kingdoms and the demon kingdom but I’m sure she will eventually solve them all.

One day, she’ll become a big shot in the Demon King’s Kingdom.

That’s what I believe.

Therefore, I have decided to let Ekaterize-sama concentrate on her work in the field and research while I earn living expenses.

However, I don’t think there’s much I can do……

My first try, selling Ekaterize-sama’s beauty products.

I sell them to demons who are relatively close to humans as a race.

Since there are wealthy people who seek beauty products, I was happy to be able to get connected to the nobles of the kingdom.

However, the bad point is that they want to monopolize our beauty products and ask us to be their subordinates.

In any case the amount of products we can produce in the kingdom is limited so the profit is not so great.

We are not losing money so it’s not a problem.

Next, selling information.

We sell information of the outside of the Demon King’s Kingdom…..that is, information about human kingdoms.

At first, there was resistance because it is an act that benefits the Demon King’s Kingdom but if we do not appeal that we are beneficial to the kingdom, who knows what will happen to us?

At the very least, we have to make the kingdom think that Ekaterize-sama is not an enemy.

The most important person we can deal with is Governor Ifrus of Shashaato City.

We were able to get in touch with Governor Ifrus by relying on Miyo-sama.

The information we have is mainly about personal information and relationships.

We don’t know about the strength of the army or its organization.

We thought they would be disappointed but surprisingly, we were well received.

They were also pleased with the information about the customs of human kingdoms.

Would it be useful for governing?

We were grateful for the considerable payment we received.

However, those can only be sold once.

There is some information that we have not sold yet but these too will become outdated and less valuable as time passes.

While I was thinking what I should do in the future, Miyo-sama proposed a new job to me.

That is, to distribute information about the Demon King’s Kingdom to the human kingdom.

We have a means of contacting Ekaterize-sama’s parents’ home in the human kingdom.

I supposed she wants us to use that.

However, is that alright?

「It is also important to convey the true situation of the Demon King’s Kingdom to the public.」

If the information is too controlled and unverified, the other party will be frightened and will not be able to negotiate with us.

Indeed. After arriving at the Demon King’s Kingdom, Ekaterize-sama had been repeatedly complaining that the information she had received was different from the actual thing.

You can say that the actual situation of the Demon King’s Kingdom is not being truthfully conveyed.

In terms of the nature of my work, I accepted the job because there is nothing like confusing the human kingdom with false information.

Several times a year, I convey the situation of the Demon King’s Kingdom, along with Ekaterize-sama’s recent situation, to Ekaterize-sama’s parents’ home.

There is no censorship of the information I give them. 𝐢𝗻𝐧𝐫𝗲𝐚𝐝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

It’s great to have a steady income because of this.

We are far from wealthy but we should be able to live a modest life.

We can only do our best.

And just as Ekaterize-sama was getting used to the life in the Demon King’s Kingdom, she began to worry about her marriage.

As for me, I received a temporary job request from Miyo-sama.

The request was that she wanted me to broadcast the parade that’s going to be held in the Demon King’s Kingdom this coming spring to the human world.

I thought this was just the job that I’ve always been doing but this time, she gave me an arder.

「Make it as accurate as possible」

?

What do you mean?

I don’t need to be told that as I always report as accurately as possible……

I was told that I would be paid separately so I gladly accepted the job.

And on the day of the parade.

………

I was able to participate in the dry run of the parade through Miyo-sama’s arrangement so I’m not so surprised seeing inferno wolves but…..

I’m surprised to see how many there are.

Beastkins, high elves, lizardmen, titans, lamias…..

I feel like I’m being shown an army force.

In addition, there are a number of dragons. Are they going to the villages too?

I see.

So this is what Miyo-sama means by as accurate as possible.

In other words, she wants us to know that there is such a big army in the Demon King’s Kingdom.

I will of course report it since this isn’t something that can be hidden…..

What about the large number of angels participating in the parade?

How can there be so many?

Isn’t this evidence that the Garret Kingdom has already been taken over by the Demon King’s Kingdom?

No, are you saying that they’re already done at hiding it?

It is better to know this information than not know it.

Let’s make sure to tell them.

Carriage that transforms and combines……

What’s the point of telling about this?

I’m not sure but I’ve been told to be accurate so let’s write it.

It’s better to include it just in case.

However……

Will anyone believe this report?

Well, I will just write the truth.

Whether they believe it or not, that’s Ekaterize-sama’s parents’ problem.

Though I would appreciate an extra compensation.

-0-

By the way……

I will not tell them that Ekaterize-sama has put on her best makeup and looked for a marriage partner.

It would worry them.

Even so, Ekaterize-sama.

She was targeting the young beastkin men but I think she should leave them alone.

The three of them are married.

I know because I met them several times at Miyo-sama’s place.

Don’t ask me to introduce them to you.

We are not that close.

If you ask Miyo-sama, you might at least speak with them…..

Rather than that, please be a little more friendly to the carriages that a village chief and his family rode in the village where we are.

The son of the village chief waved to Ekaterize-sama with all his might so you shouldn’t have completely ignored him.

She said she doesn’t like weaklings……

There are not many people who are stronger than Ekaterize-sama.

She is stronger than the guard captain because of her devotion to a strange martial art.

Yeah, strange martial art.

I’m sure it’s absolutely false that it was directly handed down from the duke’s family.

It must have been a joke by the patriarch generations ago.

Please don’t ever use it here!

It stands out too much!
