The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well - Chapter 84

Chapter 84: The Abandoned Crown Prince (4)

A few hours later.

“Phew.”

Elvis sat down on the chair with a refreshed expression.

“It seems like my anger has subsided, even if just a little.”

Turning his head to look where Isabel was.

“…”

He could see her collapsed on the floor, unconscious.

‘In that state, she’ll be out for a day.’

She had held out well at first, but after about 3 hours, she couldn’t overcome the pain and passed out.

‘I’ve finished my small revenge, so shall I organize the information I’ve gained?’

Elvis didn’t forget to ask Isabel for information while taking revenge for the humiliation he had suffered.

‘She said there’s a banquet in three weeks…’

He was worried about what he would do if time was tight, but fortunately, there was plenty of time left, so it seemed he could proceed as planned.

‘She said that most of the royal family and nobles will attend.’

Fortunately, it coincided with the day when goods were coming in from other countries, and the king had informed his subjects that he would hold a grand banquet.

Moreover, the king had ordered everyone, regardless of whether they were royalty or nobility, to attend this banquet.

‘I’m grateful if he gathers all the people.’

Checking who wasn’t attending, it turned out to be only the noble who managed the territory closest to the jungle.

‘He was always the one who did his best in whatever he was entrusted with.’

In the past, Elvis had a decent relationship with him and harbored good feelings.

‘When I inherit the throne later, I should reward him for his hard work.’

Even though it was a rotten kingdom, he was grateful for the fact that there was a noble who was devoted to the country.

‘Now that I know the date of the banquet, I can just wait comfortably until the Head Butler comes.’

He was a man who cherished his daughter dearly, so he would soon notice that Isabel had disappeared.

‘I wonder how the Head Butler will react when he sees this.’

He was very curious whether he would attack without knowing his place like Isabel, or if he would know his place and tuck his tail between his legs.

‘Well, it doesn’t matter how he reacts.’

If it was the former, he would just crush him and let him know his place.

‘I hope he comes as soon as possible.’

Elvis decided to wait for the Head Butler’s arrival with a joyful heart.

T h i s w a s c o p i e d fr o m ki n g m tl . o r g

Around lunchtime.

“Haven’t you seen Isabel?”

T h i s w a s c o p i e d f ro m ki n gm t l .o r g
The Head Butler, Isabel’s father, belatedly realized that his daughter had disappeared and began to search for her.

“No, I haven’t seen Isabel.”

“I looked for her, but she wasn’t there.”

“I don’t know.”

He inquired about her whereabouts, but everyone in the royal palace only gave him answers that they didn’t know.

“…Is that so? I understand.”

The Head Butler was walking around the royal palace with an anxious heart, wondering if something had happened to his daughter, when.

“Isabel? I saw her going to the storage room, but I don’t know after that.”

He was able to find out about Isabel’s whereabouts through a maid who worked with her.

‘Don’t tell me she still hasn’t come out of the storage room?’

If it was his daughter, who loved to torment the Crown Prince, it was highly likely that she was still in the storage room, oblivious to the passage of time.

‘Tsk, I told her to torment him in moderation.’

Even though the First Prince was backing her up, it wasn’t good to torment him beyond what was requested.

‘I need to give her a good scolding this time.’

The Head Butler was certain that Isabel was in the storage room and quickly moved his feet.

As he arrived in front of the storage room through the basement stairs.

‘It’s quiet…’

As if by magic, no sound was coming from inside the storage room.

‘Why is it so quiet?’

At the very least, he should be able to hear her making noise, but it was strangely quiet.

‘I have a bad feeling about this.’

The Head Butler felt an inexplicable chill and cautiously pulled the doorknob.

“!!!”

And as he glanced around the storage room, he realized that his intuition was right.

“…Isabel?”

It was because his daughter was lying on the floor with her face all swollen up.

He wanted to run to his daughter who had collapsed on the floor, but.

‘…Who is it?’

He couldn’t move easily because of the man sitting on the chair.

T hi s wa s c o p ie d fro m ki n gm t l . o rg
Taking a closer look at the man sitting on the chair to see who he was.

‘The Crown Prince…?’

The Head Butler could easily recognize that he was the Crown Prince.

‘…What happened?’

He was puzzled by his completely changed appearance, but.

“You’ve arrived.”

Elvis spoke to him, and the Head Butler couldn’t continue his thoughts.

“…”

The Head Butler just stared at Elvis without saying anything.

“This one has greeted you, why is there no reply?”

Elvis frowned, openly expressing his displeasure.

“…I apologize. Your appearance has changed so much that I didn’t recognize you for a moment, Your Highness.”

The Head Butler replied politely, hiding his awkwardness.

“Hmm, my appearance has changed quite a bit.”

Elvis chuckled and shrugged his shoulders.

“But why have you come here?”

“…I’ve come to find my daughter.”

“Who was your daughter again?”

“…The child collapsed on the floor is my daughter.”

T h i s wa s c o p i e d fr o m k in g m t l . o r g
The Head Butler knew that Elvis was deliberately mocking him, but he had no choice but to answer meekly.

“Ah, you’ve come to find this bitch?”

T h i s w a s c o p i e d fr o m k i n gm t l . o r g
Thud—

After hearing the answer, Elvis kicked the collapsed Isabel and said.

“!!!”

For a moment, deep anger surged within him, but.

‘…I must endure.’

There was nothing good that would come from bursting out in anger in this situation, so the Head Butler quickly suppressed his anger.

“…Your Highness, may I ask what happened?”
T hi s wa s c o p ied fr o m k i n gmtl . o rg

And to grasp the situation, he asked Elvis what had happened, but.

This w a s c o pi e d f ro m k ing m t l . o rg
“Do you think you are in a position to question me right now?”

Elvis scoffed and countered the Head Butler’s question.

“…You’re right, I am not in a position to question.”

The Head Butler groaned and answered Elvis’s question.

“However, I will show you special mercy and answer your question.”

Elvis got up from his seat and.

Grab—

He said, grabbing Isabel’s hair.

“Despite being royalty, this one has been forced to eat livestock feed for years and has been subjected to severe torture by this bitch.”

“…”

And at the following explanation, the Head Butler doubted his own ears.

‘Fed livestock feed and subjected to severe torture…?’

The story felt vastly different from what he had heard from his daughter.

‘Wasn’t it just verbal mockery?’

The order the First Prince had given was just to mock the Crown Prince once a day so that he wouldn’t have any other thoughts.

‘If what he’s saying is true, I can’t let the First Prince handle this…’

The reason the Head Butler didn’t back down in front of the Crown Prince was because he thought the First Prince could handle a bit of mockery.

However, if, by any chance, what he was saying was true, the First Prince would absolutely not be able to resolve it.

‘Touching the body of a royal is a serious crime…’

Even if the Crown Prince had fallen out of favor with the King, he was still royalty.

Moreover, harming a royal was considered treason, and everyone involved would be executed under the principle of guilt by association.

The Head Butler felt his back getting damp and slowly looked around the storage room.
Th i s wa s c opied f ro m k i n g mtl . o r g

“…”

He could see what appeared to be feed scattered here and there, and under the desk, there were chamber pots filled to the brim.

Just by looking, he could tell that Isabel hadn’t been doing her job properly.

As the Head Butler felt his mind going blank.

“Then, I underwent a transformation, regained my health, and gained power.”

Elvis continued to explain how his appearance had changed.

“And with the power I gained, I personally punished the bitch who tormented me for years. How is it? Are your questions answered?”

“…I, I see.”

Having heard the entire explanation, the Head Butler’s expression hardened.

‘…Transformation? The situation has become incredibly complicated.’

He was surprised to hear about the transformation, but the fact that Isabel had harmed the Crown Prince’s body was enough to throw his mind into chaos.

While his mind was in turmoil, the Head Butler knew exactly what he had to do now.

Thud—

“I, I have committed a grave sin!!!”

That was to beg forgiveness from the Crown Prince, Elvis.

“You should have raised your daughter properly.”

Elvis chuckled and crossed his arms.

“P, please, I will do anything, just have mercy on me!”

Thump, thump, thump, thump—

The Head Butler knelt and slammed his head on the floor, begging for forgiveness.

How many times did he slam his head on the floor?

Around the time the floor was drenched in blood.

“You really will do anything?”

Elvis asked back in a voice full of interest.

“Yes! I will faithfully carry out any order you give me!!!”

The Head Butler answered vigorously, feeling a glimmer of hope that he could survive.

Then Elvis gave a sinister smile and.

“I hope you can keep that promise.”

He uttered a meaningful phrase.

“What you have to do is simple, at the upcoming banquet… you just have to do this, easy, right?”

And at the following order, the Head Butler was thrown into a state of panic.

‘He wants to start a rebellion…?’

He had said he would follow any order, but he never dreamed it would be treason.

“Can you do it?”

“If I do as you command, Your Highness, will you forgive my sins?”

“Of course.”

“…Then I will do it.”

The Head Butler had no choice but to obey Elvis’s orders because his and his daughter’s lives were more important.

Meanwhile, Jung Minwoo and the Demon Communion members were watching the situation unfold in real time.

‘He’s handling things better than I expected.’

Jung Minwoo inwardly admired Elvis’s calm demeanor as he navigated the situation.

‘It’s also a skill to be able to handle things like this in a situation where he’s just gained power.’

If he hadn’t been able to steer the situation in his favor, Jung Minwoo had been prepared to lend him monsters on credit, even if it meant attracting attention from neighboring countries. But seeing how Elvis was doing, it seemed unnecessary.

‘I’m curious to see how he’ll resolve this.’

As he watched Elvis with an intrigued expression.

“To handle a human so easily in such a disadvantageous situation, it’s no wonder he has talents related to wisdom.”

“…I agree.”

“Kuh, it seems like we made a good contract with a higher being this time too? Ribbit, ribbit.”

Venus, Elin, and Rok seemed to agree with him, expressing their admiration.

“Tsk, I’m not impressed.”

However, Anubis seemed dissatisfied, puffing out her cheeks and voicing her complaint.

“What don’t you like?”

At Venus’s question, Anubis patted her chest as if feeling frustrated and said.

“If we gave him power, he should know how to use it. He’s just using his head like a weakling.”

At Anubis’s words, Venus smiled awkwardly and said.

“He’ll start using his power properly after the invasion of the Pacon Kingdom is over, so just wait a little.”

“Hmph, fine.”

Persuaded by Venus, Anubis nodded as if she would endure it this time.

Jung Minwoo chuckled inwardly as he listened to their conversation.

‘What a cute complaint.’

War was inevitable, so Anubis’s dissatisfaction would soon be resolved.

‘The situation seems to be flowing stably, so shall I move on to the next task?’

Jung Minwoo felt it was time to use the pigeon he had corrupted.

‘If I send the suggestion now, the pigeon will arrive on the planet around the time the Pacon Kingdom falls into Elvis’s hands.’

After roughly calculating the time, Jung Minwoo used Debuff and Telepathic Message to send a suggestion to Seina.

【Come to the ‘Dainik’ planet.】

And he could feel that the suggestion had been successfully implanted in Seina.
T hi s wa s c o p i e d f r o m k i n g m t l. o r g

‘Once won’t be enough, right?’

Jung Minwoo sent the suggestion hundreds of times to ensure it was firmly implanted before stopping.
