Sent To Isekai As Demon King's
Eps 32: Post-war I
Spring, 11 April 1163 Zaenium.
Zamara Capital, Duchy Royal Capital, Zamara Kingdom.
Daytime.
One week after the news of the defeat of the forces of the Kingdom of Zamara at the battle of the Redwood Forest. The condition of the cities around the Redwood Forest became filled with the anxiety of its inhabitants. Some even evacuate first, and will return when things have calmed down.
The news of the defeat of the Zamara Kingdom had also been heard to the surrounding countries through the mouths of merchants, such as the Zaenia Superpower Empire, the Beastman Marhamzan Empire, and the Kavizen Theocracy. Although the relationship between the Zamara Kingdom and the Zaenia Empire was bad due to the war and the prolonged invasion, they did not carry out the invasion for the time being. It made the higher-ups of the Zamara Kingdom wonder, but thankfully they were still able to breathe quietly.
After a week had passed, the wound Laciel had obtained had also completely healed. After waking up, he sent a letter to King Zamara saying that the Redwood Forest area and its surroundings had become part of his royal domain.
Hearing the contents of the letter, of course some Nobles disagreed, and some agreed. This dispute made them split into two groups, namely the group of Kings who obeyed the contents of the letter, and the group of Southern Nobles who refused.
But in the end, the King approved the contents of the letter because it had already lost a lot of troops, as well as the General and the Great General. If he refused, of course there would be more casualties on his side. The reason given to the Southern Nobles was, "War and send your troops, if you really want to guard the territory."
The nobility who disagreed was actually just using this as a political excuse to pressure the King and declare themselves as a new state. They didn't really want to fight for territory outside of their power and just ended up wasting their troops.
And another reason they did not continue the war with Demon King Lucifer was due to the pressure from the Empire. If they fought again, won or lost, their forces would be overwhelmed if the Empire also attacked, even if they had not moved now.

Duke Zerestia Mansion, Capital of Zerestia, Duchy Zerestia, Zamara Kingdom.
Afternoon.
Duke Fazerin de Zerestia II was staring at the scene outside the window from his study. There was no one else there other than himself and his only remaining right-hand man, Marquis Berliano de Zister who was at once a distant relative of the branch family. He had long since looked outside. But, his gaze was extremely blank as if no spirit flames had ever been there before.
“Master, your region has problems to deal with.” Said Marquis Berliano several times, but never heard, even if only noticed in the slightest.
Other than his blank stare, his mind was the same as well. Don't wanna do anything. More precisely, it has no passion.
“Your Majesty the King has decided to approve the surrender of the Redwood Forest to the Demon King Lucifer.” Said Marquis reported despite digubris.
“Master,” Marquis calls but is not cared for. He felt very concerned for his master at this moment.
All he had in mind right now was to avenge the Marquis Ezar de Atlanta who had died at the battle of Redwood a week ago. His subordinate, his best friend, and his right hand. He is an irreplaceable person for him.
“Whatever happens, whatever the will of the Gods, I will avenge this!”

Spring, 15 April 1163 Zaenium.
Since being approved by King Helim von Zamara II, the Redwood Forest has officially become Laciel's territory, and Laciel became the Demon King de jure and de facto. The Demon Kingdom of Lucifer was finally official and became a subject of discussion among many political observers, either within the Zamara Kingdom or outside.
It was never in Laciel's mind, if a month after his arrival to this world, he was able to establish a Demon Kingdom and become one of the frightening scourges in the surrounding region.
Now, after many events that had happened, he decided to continue his delayed journey. His current destination was the Beastman Empire of Marhamzan in the south. For his path, he planned to stop for a while and take a look at the Capital of Zamara first.

In a dimly lit room, on an octagonal table, there were eight chairs sitting on each side. But there was an empty chair. Thus, the total were seven people who were both wearing dark robes.
“She has started moving.” Said one of the young men.
“Only one month since his arrival, and he has been able to make the Zamara Kingdom bend its knees?” one of the women in the room opened her voice. He took off his hood, until he saw a pair of pointed ears and blond hair.
“Well, with the power of Gods, everything can happen.” The chimpanzee of a middle-aged man. “What is more important than that is ...” He turned to the empty chair. “We have to find a replacement.”
“Huh, if only the boy accepted, definitely wouldn't be a problem like this.” Complain of another middle-aged man. “Zero, you take care of him. As usual.”
“Good.” Another young man answered a little older than the first.
After that, they discussed some other issues.
