Chapter 248
Chapter 248
Kaneff frowned in annoyance.
"Is it those guys from the Castle? These guys aren't even considerate? They are bothering me early in the morning."
"I think so The only people who would be able to dimensionally leap to the farm without any restrictions should be from the Demon Lord Castle.
Andras murmured while looking at Kaneff.
"Lord Cardis! Lord Cardis! It's urgent. Come out and receive the message from the Great Lord!"
The person who came from the Demon Lord's Castle urged us while coming here without any notice, and hearing that Kaneffs face got completely contorted, he spurred from his seat and stood up.
I should teach those guys a lesson today. I have to make them feel what it means to be polite and considerate today.
Polite, considerate
Kaneff ran out of the dining room, mentioning the two words that didn't suit him at all. Andras, who got bewildered staring at his back, called me urgently.
"SI, SIHYEON!"
"Okay, lets follow him.
It was annoying even for me to be disturbed during the peaceful mealtime, but that didn't mean they were wrong enough to be taught lessons on "polite" and "considerate" by Kaneff.
"Please take care of the children."
I asked Lia to take care of the children and ran out of the dining room. I couldn't let anything ugly happen in the morning on the peaceful farm.
Kaneff seemed to have moved so fast that it seemed he had already left the building.
When I was almost at the entrance, I heard a terrified voice through the opened front door of the building.
Ahh, why are you doing this, Prince Kaneff? I, I am the messenger of the Demon Lord .
What message? Do you fu*kers know whats manners? Don't you know it's breakfast time?"
"Huh, I feel sorry about that. But it's something I have to tell Lord Cardis urgently.
"You feel sorry! You feel sorry! Does a guy who feels sorry scream so proudly in front of someone else's house? You should get some etiquette education from me today."
-CLING CLANG!
The chains that Kaneff summoned, instantly wrapped around the middle-aged male demon and his party. Everyone's faces quickly turned pale because of the terrifying energy.
"uh uh huh?! Car, Lord Cardis.. Hel..p!
"Boss! Stop!"
I shouted, standing in front of Kaneff as if I was covering the male Demon. He quickly hid behind my back. He was so scared that his hand that was holding my arm was trembling.
Kaneff growled as he took back the chains slowly.
Sihyeon, get out of there right now. Those guys are the ones who will come to their senses only when they're served hot.
"Why are you getting mad at these people again? These people just do what they're told to do from above."
I dont like their attitude. That Attitude!
"That's how messengers behave. After all, they have to deliver the message on behalf of the Demon Lord."
The male Demon peeped out his face and added a few words.
"Lord Cardis is right. Who really needs to know manners and consideration is.
Who? Come one SAY IT. Ill Just kill this bastard?!
"Ugh"
Come on! Just don't make a fuss and stay still. I guess this guy really needs Kaneff's Etiquette Class.
I looked at the middle-aged demon with a sense of warning. As if he understood the meaning behind my gaze, he quickly shut his mouth and crumpled.
"This is enough, boss. Go back in and finish your meal. Put those scary chains back in."
Tsk!
Eventually, Kaneff followed my words and put the chain back in. At the same time, the terrifying energy that filled the space disappeared. With that, the complexion of the male demon and his companions returned to their original state.
Kaneff, who put the chain back in, did not return to the dining room. Instead, he leaned diagonally next to the front door and looked this way. Those eyes were very burdensome, and I thought I could not force him back at this point.
I sighed a little in relief that I had protected the peaceful morning of the farm. After that, I looked at the male demon who was still hiding behind my back.
"Hello, Its been a while."
"Um, yes! Its been a while, Lord Cardis."
"Was it during my Swearing-in ceremony?"
"Huh, yes. The time really flies.
Since we met several times, I greeted the middle-aged Demon in a friendly manner. Thanks to this, the pressure I felt when I first met him disappeared, and now it felt like seeing a warm neighbor from next door.
"But what brings you here today? I think you said it was urgent. So, what happened?
Thats right, Lord Cardis. Please receive this letter first.
?
The middle-aged demon took a letter out of his arms and delivered it to me.
A seal representing the Demon Lord was stamped on the envelope. I carefully opened the envelope, took out the letter inside, and read it.
Uh Once again this intro.
I interpreted the contents of the letter by filtering out the unique rhetoric of the aristocracy, which I got used to now.
As I skimmed through the content, there were words that kept coming again and again.
Yakum
Throughout the letter, the word Yakum' was constantly mentioned. However, the Yakum in the letter did not seem to refer to the Yakums of the Demon farm. I lowered the letter I was holding and looked at the middle-aged demon.
"I've read it roughly. Is there any Yakum that is causing trouble?"
Yes. A group of Yakums suddenly appeared in a peaceful village and are causing trouble.
"Suddenly? They didn't provoke or attack them first
"Yes."
The middle-aged demon answered firmly and nodded his head.
I tilted my head in disbelief.
It can't be.
Yakums are creatures who do not show aggression unless theyre touched first. In the past also all the cases where Yakum caused problems had a clear cause.
The middle-aged demon who saw my reaction added an explanation.
"Although we don't know as much about Yakums as Lord Cardis, we do know that theyre basically gentle. But this time it's very different from the usual situation. The Yakums that are causing trouble now are trying to tear the village down with their excessive aggression.
You mean the Yakums are running wild? If so then itll be hell.
Kaneff shook his head, adding a word.
If what the middle-aged demon said was true, it can be inferred that a hellish situation has unfolded as Kaneff had predicted.
Yakums running wild.
I have only experienced it indirectly, but I am fully aware of the danger. It was not for nothing that the Castle had to spend a huge amount of money to install a barrier on this farm.
By the time the story progressed to this point, I got a rough idea of how things were going and why the messenger came to me at the order of the Demon Lord.
Yakums are running rampant to the point where even the Demon Lord couldn't solve it.
And they are left with no other choice but me, the self-proclaimed Yakum expert of the Demon world.
"Ha Are you asking me to solve the problem?"
"The Castle has already deployed all the ways we can. But it's only controlling the worst, and it hasn't solved the fundamental problem. The Demon Lord seems to think of Lord Cardis as the last hope.
"Hmm"
If you don't come forward. We have no choice but to use the last resort.
.
last resort.
It was probably more likely to resort to harsh methods. If that happens, the Yakums will have to endure great damage.
As the conversation got interrupted for a while, the other farm members appeared one after another. They were conscious of the heavy atmosphere, so they only looked from afar.
The middle-aged demon who felt the presence of others turned his head toward the farm members and said.
"Ah. That's good. Dragon Demon Maid, I have a letter to deliver to you as well.
"What? Me?"
Lia, who was suddenly called, widened her eyes in surprise. The rest were also puzzled and looked at the two of them in turn.
"I don't know what it is, but I think it's a letter from the village Red Scales."
"Is this a letter from my hometown?"
Lia hastily accepted the letter. A smile filled her face as she opened the envelope.
But as she read the contents of the letter, her expression hardened more and more, and at the end, there was no trace of the smile she first had.
I approached her and asked anxiously.
Lia, is everything okay?
"SIHYEON"
Lia's mouth opened with a tearful look.
"The village where I was born They say my hometown is on the verge of disappearing."
"What?"
"A group of Yakums suddenly appeared and are turning the surroundings of the village into a mess. They're still desperately protecting the center of the village, but if the damage gets worse.
?!
The farm members' faces hardened at Lia's words. I moved my eyes toward the middle-aged demon as if asking if it was true or not. Then he nodded heavily.
The Yakums in question are doing damage to a very large area. I heard that the damage of the Red Scales was particularly severe. We've been sending support from the Castle for a long time, but they can barely hold out.
The place where the Yakums were rampaging was Lia's hometown.
My heart ached as I watched her grieving. I couldn't bring up any words of comfort easily. Right now, there was only one way to comfort Lia in my head.
"Don't worry too much, Lia. Believe in me."
"SIHYEON"
"You know me well. When it comes to Yakum, I am more of an expert than anyone else."
As if my consolation worked a little, a faintly bright light returned to her eyes.
"Lord Cardis! Have you decided to help?"
The middle-aged demon was so excited that his mustache shook.
I am not a demon, but I cannot ignore the difficulties of the Demon Lord, whom I serve now.
"Oh oh! This loyalty The Demon Lord will never forget your courageous decision.
He put on a moved look, clasped my hands, and shook them aggressively. He didn't stop shaking until I felt a pain in my arm.
As soon as I broke away from the middle-aged demon, this time Lia rushed into my arms. For a moment, my mind was dazed by her bold embrace. She put her in my arms and kept muttering the same words over and over again.
"Thank you Thank you Thank you."
Lia managed to suppress her overwhelming emotions and continued to thank me. I hugged her slightly and patted her on the back.
