After finishing the tasks he had promised to complete, Peroroncino headed to Yulia's residence.
At the same time, a group of people who had originally been fans of Misty also gathered near Yulia's place.
They soon noticed Peroroncino and Misty as well.
"Why is that guy here too?"
"I suddenly have a bad feeling about this."
Peroroncino intended to go inside to find Yulia, but there were guards at her residence. With no other choice, he decided to have Yulia come out instead.
Although he had initially planned to spend some intimate time with Yulia, he reconsidered. If the people from the Holy Kingdom overheard anything, it would ruin everything Yulia had worked so hard for.
Yulia had painstakingly built her reputation in the Holy Kingdom, and Peroroncino didn't want to destroy it all.
Using a message spell, Peroroncino called Yulia out.
No sooner had he sent the message than Yulia's door opened the next second.
Yulia had been discussing future developments with other members of her organization at the time.
Thanks to her efforts, Yulia had successfully convinced the entire Apostolic Knight Order to pledge allegiance to the Sorcerer Kingdom.
On the surface, the Apostolic Knight Order was an organization with just over 1,000 members—a modest size, neither too large nor too small.
However, in secret, one-fifth of the army's members had joined this organization.
Most of the soldiers in the army were aware of this, but none had reported it to their commanders.
After all, if they did, Yulia—the savior of the Holy Kingdom, a figure as beautiful as an angel—would likely be branded a criminal. Moreover, former comrades might end up becoming enemies.
The most important reason for their silence, however, was that reporting this would bring them no benefit.
To the nobles, reporting intelligence was merely the soldiers' duty.
Nobles rarely practiced a system of clear rewards and punishments; simply feeding their soldiers was considered the height of their generosity.
As a result, this situation was known by nearly every soldier in the camp, yet the noble commanders remained completely unaware.
In the Holy Kingdom, all army commanders were nobles; commoners simply had no opportunity to rise to such ranks.
When Yulia received Peroroncino's message, she didn't hesitate. She immediately left her seat and rushed out the door.
After all, her master had come to find her personally—how could she allow herself to slack off in such a situation?
Everyone present was stunned when they saw the look in Yulia's eyes, filled with the expression of "my whole world is you."
Anyone with even the slightest emotional intelligence could tell what Yulia's expression meant.
All those present felt a pang of jealousy. The Yulia they admired, a figure as angelic as a goddess, was looking at a man with such a gaze filled with love. To make matters worse, Peroroncino's hands were shamelessly wandering all over Misty.
Yet Yulia acted as though she were blind to this, her gaze still brimming with affection.
Yulia was about to bow, but upon seeing the look in Peroroncino's eyes, she stopped.
Yulia, possessing extremely high emotional intelligence, could understand Peroroncino's intentions with just a glance. His current look clearly conveyed one word: low-key.
"Lord Chino, please follow me!" she said respectfully.
"Lord Chino…" Several of Yulia's fans echoed her words, their voices laced with disbelief.
"Please…"
Yulia had always been kind to others, but she had never shown such deference to anyone—not even to the King of the Holy Kingdom, Caspond.
.......
Yulia invited Peroroncino into her residence.
Yulia's home was a three-story villa, where the 12 leaders of the Apostolic Knight Order were seated in the living room.
They had all been granted the title of "12 Holy Knights" by Yulia.
Yulia did this simply to satisfy their sense of honor. In reality, none of them together could defeat Remedios.
"Lady Yulia, who is this?"
The first to speak was the leader of the Apostolic Knight Order, Sikia, who held the first seat among the 12 Holy Knights.
Sikia was one of the two women among the 12 Holy Knights and was also the founder of the Apostolic Knight Order.
Yulia had never planned to create an organization. It was only after founding it under the name of Yulia that it started to grow. Eventually, after reaching a certain scale, she informed Yulia about this development.
Looking at Peroroncino, Yulia confirmed his general intentions with a glance and then spoke.
"He is Lord Chino of the Sorcerer Kingdom, my superior."
"I wonder what position Lord Chino holds in the Sorcerer Kingdom?" Sikia asked, her tone filled with hostility as she directed the question at Peroroncino.
Sikia immediately disliked Peroroncino upon seeing him, because his hand was resting around Misty's waist.
Such behavior in public could only be that of a lecher.
Sikia's appearance was average, not as striking as Remedios, and she wasn't the type of woman Peroroncino liked.
"Watch your attitude, Sikia," Yulia scolded before Peroroncino could speak.
Yulia's hand was already near the hilt of her sword. If Sikia dared to provoke Peroroncino, she would not hesitate to kill this assistant who had helped her with many matters.
Peroroncino noticed Yulia's expression and waved his hand.
Yulia understood what Peroroncino meant—it was a signal for her not to get angry, as he didn't care about Sikia's words.
Peroroncino casually sat in Yulia's seat at the head of the conference table.
"That's not your seat!" Sikia's tone was filled with hostility.
"From now on, it is," Yulia said, her expression very serious.
"But Lady Yulia..." Sikia wanted to say something more.
"Shut up! If you want to say more, go talk to the wall," Yulia said coldly, without regard for Sikia's feelings.
Sikia immediately closed her mouth, but inwardly, she was cursing Peroroncino.
"It's all because of you, you bastard. This is the first time Yulia has reprimanded me—this is all your fault."
"Let's continue with the discussion," Peroroncino said, completely unconcerned with Sikia's glare.
"......."
"......."
"......."
They resumed their discussion on the plans for the rebellion.
"Actually, it doesn't need to be so complicated. Caspond has already allied with the Sorcerer Kingdom. Oh, and by the way, Keralt was also rescued by the Sorcerer King from the hands of Jaldabaoth. She's now recovering in the Sorcerer King's care."
Peroroncino's two statements left everyone stunned.
"Mr. Chino, please don't joke like that. Lord Caspond has already declared himself king. How could he possibly ally with the Sorcerer Kingdom?" Sikia assumed Peroroncino was just trying to make a scene.
Previously, Peroroncino hadn't paid much attention to Demiurge's plan, but before coming this time, he carefully reviewed the document. Caspond himself had already died, and the current Caspond was just a doppelganger.
Peroroncino said nothing.
He snapped his fingers.
"Group teleportation!"
Everyone was teleported to Caspond's palace, where Caspond was sipping afternoon tea.
Upon seeing Peroroncino, he quickly set his tea cup down.
"Greetings, Lord Chino!" Caspond knelt on one knee and paid his respects to Peroroncino.
Before this, Peroroncino and Caspond had exchanged messages through information transfer.
As for the group with Peroroncino, Caspond paid no attention to their shocked expressions.
To Caspond, everyone in the Holy Kingdom were merely toys in the hands of the Supreme Lord.
Who would care about toys?
Sikia pinched her own cheek.
"This can't be real!"
Others were even hitting themselves with their fists.
After all, this scene was too shocking—Caspond, who was once so high and mighty, was kneeling and paying respects to Peroroncino.
"Lord Chino, is there anything you wish to command?" Caspond asked.
"They are planning to rebel. I brought them here so you can get familiar with their faces," Peroroncino openly spoke of rebellion to the King of the Holy Kingdom.
"I understand... Please, everyone, introduce yourselves," Caspond said.
........
........
After leaving the palace, everyone was unable to calm their emotions.
Today's events were simply too astonishing.
Sikia was about to head home when Yulia called her to her residence.
"It must be that Lady Yulia feels guilty for scolding me today and wants to apologize," Sikia thought to herself.
