Chapter 93: A King and his General (6)
ΟΟΟ
There are many inconveniences in this world. One of them being music. There are occasional moments in life when music is needed. It would be perfect if Georges Bizet’s Habanera were resonating playfully throughout the room right now. Or maybe even Maurice Ravel’s Bolero! I wanted to take Laura by the hand and dance. What can I do when there’s no way to listen to music? I made do by humming.
“Why anarchy? Why does Your Lordship want anarchy?”
“Solely for the sake of survival.”
I spoke while doing my best to not lose the rhythm of the music.
“As you know well, I am weak. I have no power to strengthen. Compared to me, how are the other Demon Lords? How are the human nations? They are much too powerful. There is a need for them to drop into a swamp and fall into chaos.”
“And Your Lordship will strengthen your forces while that is happening…….”
That’s right.
Barbatos has my intentions completely wrong. She thinks that I’m intentionally lowering the number of Demon Lords for the sake of the Crescent Alliance’s success. That’s wrong. Why would I foolishly let the Crescent Alliance succeed!? The Crescent Alliance must succeed and fail at the same time so that both the human and Demon Lord forces create an exquisite balance.
