Chapter 1311: Chapter 885 Swallow the Jujube Pill_2 Chapter 1311: Chapter 885 Swallow the Jujube Pill_2 “But a tyrant can’t govern a country like this.”

Yuriya still couldn’t accept it.

“How can people accept such a brutal king?”

However, Duanmu Huai dismissed Yuriya’s words with a retort.

“What does a brutal king have to do with the people?”

“Ah, because the king governs the country…aren’t people the constituents of the nation?”

Seeing Duanmu Huai’s face with a “shouldn’t 1+1 equal 3?” expression, Yuriya herself felt increasingly less confident–wasn’t this how she had been educated since childhood? Could it have been wrong?

“The king governs the nation, but he rules over the nobility. Just manage the nobility well, and that’s it. It’s impossible for a king to personally issue orders to every individual.”

Upon saying this, Duanmu Huai made a grand gesture.

“Take me, for example. If I were to be king, I would ask who supports and who opposes me. If someone opposes, then just kill them all.”

“…………”
Faced with Duanmu Huai’s blunt answer, even Teerdi was at a loss for words.

“Such actions could only lead to national unrest and discontent among the people…”

“What would the people be dissatisfied about?”

Duanmu Huai waved his hand again.

“Aren’t the nobility the ones who are dissatisfied? I kill the nobility, not the commoners. What would they be unhappy about? Do you really think a king would absurdly go to the square and tell a crowd of commoners that I’m going to kill you?”

That being said, must you really put it that way?

“But that’s not what a king should do…”

Yuriya felt that for the sake of the beliefs she had been raised with, she should at least struggle. It’s like being pressed against a wall; at the very least, you would twist your body… Well, although it’s not the same, it’s still similar.

“A competent king should appease the nobility and consider the welfare of the people…”

“It’s all cliches.”

However, Duanmu Huai didn’t even want to listen, casually dismissing Yuriya’s struggles with a wave of his hand. It was as if you had someone pressed against the wall, and they tried to struggle, saying “I’m not that kind of frivolous woman,” but you just went ahead and kissed them.

It seemed to be the same.

“I remember, Yuriya, you are a typical aristocratic lady, right?”

Suddenly, Duanmu Huai changed the subject and asked Enisphia, who was taken aback and then nodded.

“Yes, Yuriya is smart, beautiful, elegant, and has exceptional magic talent. She’s the perfect aristocratic lady.”

“Then why aren’t you guys?”

But in the next moment, Duanmu Huai looked at Enisphia and Teerdi with a disappointed gaze, pointing fingers at them.

“Look at you two, Enisphia running around like a wild girl every day, and Teerdi, don’t laugh, you’re not much better. Look at the clothes you wear; who are you dressing up like that for? Can’t you dress more modestly and seriously, like Yuriya?”

Hey, you bring this up and we’re not happy.

Hearing Duanmu Huai suddenly turn his fire towards the two of them, Enisphia and Teerdi were instantly furious.

“I already have no rights to the throne!”

“But aren’t you still a princess of the royal family? Etiquette, do you understand etiquette? What kind of princess acts like you do, flying around all over the place? And look at what you are wearing… well, it’s pretty good.”

Duanmu Huai glanced at Enisphia’s outfit and immediately changed the subject.

Well, it is indeed pretty good, long white legs with over-knee white stockings, and a super short skirt. Plus, flying in the sky, every time Enisphia flew up and down, Duanmu Huai could catch a glimpse of something nice, after all, when the wind blows and the skirt flips, what can’t be seen?

Unlike Yuriya in her knee-length skirt, where you can’t see anything at all.

So that’s actually quite nice.

“???”

Yet Enisphia didn’t catch on immediately. Seeing Duanmu Huai abruptly change his tone left her completely bewildered. Meanwhile, Teerdi furrowed her brows, deep in thought.

“So, what you mean to say is that each King is different?”

“Let’s just go with that. I just want to tell you not to think too highly of that young man. I suspect he’s up to some mischief, either he’s dumb, bad, or both dumb and bad.”

Duanmu Huai spread his hands.

“In any case, I’m just giving you a heads up to prevent any surprises later when you might say things like ‘how could it be’ ‘he’s not that kind of person’… Oh, and by the way, he better not collude with the Demon Clan, because I don’t care if he’s a Prince or a King, I’ll smash him dead.”

“……….”

After all that, that was what you wanted to say, wasn’t it?

“I… will find time to talk to Prince Algard.”

Yuriya hesitated for a moment, having to admit that Duanmu Huai had a point. Enisphia also stopped talking, thinking carefully–they indeed hoped Algard could become an ideal King. But Duanmu Huai bluntly told them that there aren’t so many ideal Kings in this world… Wait!

That’s when Enisphia finally responded.

“You mentioned Algard is one thing, but why bring us into this?”

“What if I bring you into it?”

Facing Enisphia’s discontent, Duanmu Huai seemed very calm.

“What can you do to me? Can you beat me? No? Then just endure it, now you understand how the nobles in that story felt?”

I totally get it now… Really want to kill you, but I truly can’t beat you…

At this moment, Enisphia and the others seemed to truly understand the feelings of that noble whose son was killed by the King and couldn’t retaliate…

“Alright, I’ve said my piece, I’m going to rest now, you guys keep talking.”

Ignoring the murderous glares from the three, Duanmu Huai stood up, holding Ogis like a large cat, then turned and left.

“Hmph——!”

Watching Duanmu Huai’s retreating figure, Enisphia stuck out her tongue at him.

“Bullying girls, what a skill!”

Completely oblivious that it’s just like crying after the deed, dressing while calling the man sitting on the bed “you’re bad.”

Probably the same.

Maybe.

“I suddenly thought of a question.”

Just then, Teerdi furrowed her brows again, raising a question.

“What question?”

“We’ve always lived in tents, but come to think of it, we never know where the Great Judge lives.”

“Isn’t it the same as us?”

“Let’s go and see.”

Now Enisphia also got eager.

“I want to see where he actually lives with Miss Ogis!”
