The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well - Chapter 83

Chapter 83: The Abandoned Crown Prince (3)

After Jung Minwoo and the Demon Communion members left.

‘How can I usurp the throne within a month?’

Elvis was agonizing over how to steal the king’s position.

‘Originally, I planned to reveal my recovered health to the public and manipulate public opinion so that the king couldn’t touch me, solidifying my position… .’

This plan would take more than five years, so unfortunately, he had to withdraw it.

‘He said the deadline is one month, but I need to take over the Pacon Kingdom sooner than that…’

The Demon Lord had just mentioned that there was a Demon Servant who invaded an empire in a single day.

In other words, to satisfy them, he needed to take over the Pacon Kingdom as quickly as possible.

‘I need to shorten the time as much as possible in my own way.’

If he recklessly tried to take over the Pacon Kingdom in a single day like other Demon Servants, he could foolishly lose this hard-earned opportunity.

‘I need to know my place.’

T h i s wa s copi ed fr o m k i ng m tl . o r g
Elvis stroked his chin, contemplating the optimal way to take over the Pacon Kingdom.

And after about 30 minutes of contemplation.

‘…Yes, that would be good.’

He came up with a pretty good plan.

‘I’m going to use that bitch.’

The person Elvis referred to as “that bitch” was the maid who brought him food to the storage room every morning.

One might question why he used such an expression for someone who brings food.

‘…She’ll pay for treating me like a punching bag all this time.’

This was because she had a history of assaulting Elvis for several years, starting with bringing him feed meant for livestock.

‘My health deteriorated rapidly because of her.’

Thinking about her atrocities made his teeth clench.

‘But the time for revenge will come soon, so let’s not get too worked up.’

As the time for revenge was not far off, Elvis took a deep breath and calmed himself.

‘First, I’ll extract information from her.’
T h is w a s cop i e d f r o m k i ng m t l . o r g

The information he wanted to get from her was simple.

‘All I need to know is when the banquet will be held.’

It was the timing of the banquet.

‘That pig… No, my father used to hold a banquet once a month to indulge in luxury, so he’ll probably hold one this month too.’
T hi s w a s cop i ed fr o m k in gmtl . org

After finding out when the banquet would be held.

‘I’ll poison the food.’

He would poison all the royal family and nobles attending the banquet.

‘I can have the head butler poison the food.’

The head butler.

The father of the maid who brought him food in the morning.

‘He adores his daughter, so he’ll have no choice but to obey if I threaten him.’

If he didn’t comply, he could kill the maid and find another way.

‘And there will be some royals and nobles who couldn’t attend the banquet due to personal reasons, so I’ll have to purge them separately.’

The royal family and nobles were rotten to the core, so he needed to get rid of them all for the sake of the new kingdom.

‘I want to kill them all myself… But I have to hold back…’

Even though the Demon Lord had granted him great power, he had never fought before in his life, so he needed to exercise restraint.

‘If I foolishly try to fight, I might get killed by a knight.’

T h i s w a s c o pi e d f r o m ki n g m t l . o r g
The knights who protected the royal family and nobles had undergone systematic training for decades, so it was clear they could easily handle him.

Therefore, Elvis intended to use a certain knight order to purge them.

The Golden Knights.

They were bound by an oath to protect the king.
T hi s was c o p i e d f r o m k i n g m t l. org

‘If the king dies, they are obligated to follow the orders of the next successor, which is me.’

In other words, once the king died from poisoning, he would have the authority to command them.

‘Good, let’s proceed with this.’

Afterwards, Elvis took the time to devise other plans in case of unforeseen circumstances.

And when he finished devising other plans.

‘Dawn is breaking.’
T h i s w a s cop i e d f r o m ki n g m t l . or g

The morning to execute his plan was approaching.

Isabel Corden.

The daughter of a baron and a woman working as a maid in the royal palace, a place where only elites could enter.

“Shall we start the day energetically again today?”

Her day began by delivering food to the crown prince.

As she entered the kitchen, humming.

“Isabel, you’re here?”

The head chef greeted her warmly.

Th i s w a s c op i ed f r o m k i ng m tl . or g
“Good morning!”

She gave a bright smile and returned the chef’s greeting.

“The crown prince’s food is ready, so take it.”

As the head chef held out a tray.

“The food looks amazing again today.”

She could see luxurious food arranged on the plates.

“Even though His Majesty the King has turned his back on him, he’s still of noble blood.”

“Well, he’s the crown prince, so he can’t eat low-quality food.”

“Anyway, I’m counting on you again today.”

“Yes! Leave it to me!”

Isabel gave a playful smile and held up the tray.

“Then, I’ll be back.”

She greeted the other cooks and walked out of the kitchen.
T h i s w as co p i ed fro m k i n g m t l. o r g

However, her steps led not to the storage room where the crown prince was, but to her personal break room.

‘Hehehe, they made my favorite food today, didn’t they?’

Isabel sat down, her eyes sparkling.

‘Let’s eat!’

She then began to devour the food meant for the crown prince.

‘…As expected, it’s delicious no matter when I eat it!’

Perhaps because they used the finest ingredients, it was a taste she never got tired of.

‘This is why I work here!’

After quickly finishing the food, Isabel took the tray and headed towards the livestock barn.

‘What should I give him today?’

She scanned the feed, contemplating what to give the crown prince.

‘Ah, I’m feeling generous. Let’s give him pig feed today!’

She decided to be a little generous and give him pig feed since she got to eat her favorite food today.

She filled a bowl with pig feed and covered it with a cloth so that no one else could see.

‘Hehehe, how should I crush him today?’

If stealing the crown prince’s food was the first happiness of her day, the second happiness was tormenting him.

‘He’s not doing well these days, so I’ll just slap him ten times and be done with it.’

Since the crown prince’s condition was precarious, she decided to tone down the intensity of her torment.
T hi s wa s c o p i ed f r o m ki ngm t l . o r g

‘He’ll glare at me again today, won’t he?’

Even though the same routine continued every day, the crown prince always glared at her with murderous eyes.

‘It’s so thrilling.’

The fact that he could only glare at her despite being assaulted made her feel thrilled.

It felt like she was above the royal family.

Isabel thought she wished the crown prince would live a long life so she could enjoy this feeling for a long time.

She went down to the basement using the stairs.

Clank―

The moment she unlocked the padlock and entered the storage room.

“Huh? What the, where did this bastard go?”

The crown prince, who should have been sitting on the chair, was nowhere to be seen.

“Where did this bastard, who can’t even move, go…?”

Just as she felt an unexplainable chill.

“You brought the feed for the livestock again today, huh.”

A chilling voice filled with malice reached her ears.

“!!!”

The moment Isabel turned her head towards the source of the voice.

Bam―――!

“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!”

She felt an excruciating pain in her stomach, and at the same time.

Thud―!

Her body flew backward, rolling across the floor.

“Cough, cough!”

Isabel felt her mind becoming hazy from the pain.

“For the bitch who’s been tormenting me for years to be knocked down with a single punch… How disappointing.”

However, the chilling voice that reached her ears made her realize that something unbearable would happen if she lost consciousness here.

‘How could a crippled bastard…?’

Isabel gathered her wits and felt a deep sense of doubt.

It was hard to believe that a crippled bastard could exert such power.

‘…What kind of magic did he use?’

As Isabel struggled to lift her head.

“Oh, I thought you’d faint after getting hit, but your mental strength is better than I thought.”

“…Huh?”

Instead of the emaciated crown prince, a crown prince with well-defined muscles was standing there.

His hair and eye color had changed, but his facial features were the same, so it wasn’t difficult to recognize him.

“You’re the crown prince…?”

Isabel’s eyes wavered uncontrollably.

“I’ve been waiting for this moment… but you’re not giving me the reaction I expected.”

Slap―!

As Elvis slapped Isabel across the face.

Plop―

Something white flew out of her mouth.

“…”

As if she finally grasped the situation, Isabel’s body began to tremble.

“Yes, you should have shown that reaction sooner.”

“…Shit, you think you’ll get away with this?”

“…”

She seemed to understand the situation, but she was simply denying reality.

“…This is ridiculous. Well, I guess that’s why you dared to touch me, the crown prince, because you couldn’t grasp the situation.”

Elvis let out a hollow laugh and grabbed Isabel’s hair.

“W-What are you doing?!”

“You’ll see.”

He then grabbed a handful of the pig feed she had brought.

“You should experience the same thing.”

He shoved the pig feed into Isabel’s mouth.

“Ugh!!!”

As the pig feed entered her mouth.

“Bleargh!”

Isabel couldn’t swallow the pig feed and spat it out.

“What? You always forced me to eat feed, but you can’t eat it yourself?”

“Cough, cough, cough!”

“No, even I ate it, so a lowly bitch like you should be able to eat it, shouldn’t you?”

Elvis gave a wicked smile and shoved the vomit, along with the pig feed, back into her mouth.

“Ugh!”

And the moment she tried to spit it out again.

“I clearly told you to eat it.”

Elvis slapped her across the face.

Slap―

“Someone who doesn’t follow orders.”

Slap―

“Needs.”

Slap―

“A good beating.”

Slap―

“That’s the law.”

Slap―

“Don’t you think so?”

Thud―

“Gasp, gasp, gasp!”

Isabel’s body trembled uncontrollably from the relentless violence.

This time, it wasn’t a tremor from denying reality, but a tremor from fear.

And as she belatedly realized that the situation had reversed.

‘Am I going to die…?’

Regret for her past actions towards the crown prince washed over her.

As she cautiously looked up at Elvis with trembling eyes.

“…”

He was looking down at her with a gaze as if he was looking at filth.

“Your eyes are finally worth looking at.”

Elvis met her gaze and gave a sinister smile.

“S-Sorry…”

Isabel clasped her hands together, trying to beg for Elvis’s forgiveness, but.

“You don’t think your sins will be forgiven with a single apology, do you?”

Elvis cut her off, as if he wasn’t even worth listening to.

“First, I need to return everything you did to me.”

“…”

“So, please try your best not to die and endure it. Who knows? If you endure it until the end, I might forgive your sins.”

“Y-Your Highness… Will you really forgive my sins if I endure it?”

At her question, Elvis nodded and replied.

“If you can endure it, that is.”

“Your Highness… Please keep your word.”

“Of course, would I, the crown prince, lie?”

Elvis held up a club that was rolling around in the storage room and said with a bright smile.

“The first one is the club beating you loved to use.”

Bam―――!

As he swung the club towards Isabel.
T h is w a s c o p i e d fr o m k i n g mtl . o r g

Crack―

“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”

The sound of bones breaking and a pig squealing rang out.
