Chapter 160: The Man's and the Woman's Situation (1)
There was something I’ve been contemplating for a very long time now.
……I’m a Demon Lord, but aren’t I lacking a lot in terms of dignity?
This was a serious matter. Even my strength and charm stats were lacking. A type of charisma that all rulers should have that was capable of making people cower before them was basically non-existent within me. If I didn’t have a horn on the back of my head, then I doubt anyone would think that I was a Demon Lord.
I do have more dignity compared to how I was as a rookie a year ago. I also got used to seeing humans die in large numbers and I have a decent understanding of this world’s politics, and yet, I didn’t gain any sort of charisma.
“So this is a rather big problem. Don’t you think so as well?”
I audibly hummed to myself as I continued in a serious tone.
“This will create a group of people who either forget that I’m a Demon Lord or flat out disregard this fact entirely. Hah. I didn’t understand why rulers would create such needlessly extravagant palaces, but now I do. If you sit on a golden throne in a palace made of marble, then you would naturally appear dignified. All things in the world have a deeper meaning behind them even if they appear useless on the outside. Don’t you agree?”
“Yes……. Yes, Your Highness!”
A middle-aged man was bowing under my feet. He was prostrating. There were dust and blood smeared all over his red, silken attire.
