The world was going to change soon and I was going to be the cause of that change.

But before that...

'' GOOD. For now I'm going to rest in my quarters. We'll talk about it once I wake up. ''

“Everything will be done as you wish, your Majesty. ''

I will first enjoy the luxury that this mansion offers. During my fight against the demon king, I noticed this palace from afar and I dreamed of staying there. Especially since at that time, I lived in a very modest house.

However after our victory, the mansion had disappeared... Who would have thought that one day I would be able to access it? Plus through the big door. I intend to take advantage of it.

“Please follow us your majesty. '' Said Luccie.

'' I'm coming. ''

I followed Luccie who took me to my apartments. Gloria, who was walking alongside me, held on to my clothes and gave me a beautiful smile. I replied, smiling too.

I didn't know why, but this atmosphere touched me. It was as if I shared a very strong bond with them.

The large gate opened and gave way to a long, bright corridor.

I walked inside and let myself be guided by my lieutenants.

Gloria held my hand and just smiled. We were about the same height. I was just a few centimeters taller than her. It was a little weird hearing him call me dad.

After taking a few steps inside, we stopped in front of a door. In appearance it was luxurious and well maintained. When I opened it, a white light burst out and blinded me.

“Your Majesty. We all took turns working to keep your room as it was before you died. ''

This room was actually the demon king's room, so it was now my room. The room was spacious and all the objects inside were made of gold and shined brightly. I didn't know that the demon king was entitled to all these luxuries.

“I thank you for your dedication. Now I'm going to rest, I feel a little tired. ''

“Yes, your Majesty. '' They said.

''Before I go to sleep... Luccie, I would like you to write me a report on the current situation. Ragnar, I would like you to gather the remaining soldiers of my army who can still be reached. I would like to have a discussion with them when I wake up and finally, Nebulime, I want you to put up a barrier around this room. I don't want to be disturbed by noise from outside. ''

Thanks to the knowledge of the demon king that I had acquired, I knew perfectly the role of each of my lieutenants and I could assign them tasks according to their abilities.

''Everything will be done the way you want it. '' Said Nebulime.

“Alright, you can leave me alone for now. ''

They bowed in respect and left the room. I now found myself alone in this luxurious room.

Seeing the bed set up, I jumped into the air and gently dropped onto my bed, reducing gravity just a little.

The bed smelled good and was soft. It was a change from the makeshift bed I had in my warehouse. When I think back, I didn't miss my past life that much. As long as I could lounge in that comfort, I was fine. I had accepted with such ease the fact of no longer belonging to the human race.

Anyway, enough thinking. It was time to sleep. I closed my eyes and it didn't take long for me to fall asleep.

When I woke up, it was already daylight. I haven't felt this good in a long time. It was the most pleasant night's sleep I had ever had.

After stretching, I got out of bed to take a shower. Afterwards, I had access to the dressing room of the former owner of this mansion. There were a multitude of choices available to me, but I opted for the black outfit at the back of the closet. It made me look noble and above all, I loved the cape that trailed behind it.

Now that I had finished my preparation, I opened the door and walked out of my room. I walked along the corridor and bumped into Leonard.

''Hello your Majesty. You finally woke up. ''

'' Yes. ''

''I hope you were able to have a peaceful night. ''

''Yes, it was nice. ''

'' So much the better. ''

She always smiled at me. It was a little disturbing.

“Excuse me your Majesty. I received a message from Luccie. She asked me to tell you to meet her in your office when you wake up. ''

'' All right. ''

“I am at your service, your majesty. ''

I then headed towards my office. With the knowledge I had acquired, I could easily recognize the path.

Arriving in front of the office, I opened the door and saw Luccie waiting for me with a file in her hands. In front of me was a chair and a table. It was surely on these facilities that the demon king managed his administrative affairs.

The room was lit by the sun's rays coming through the windows and to my left was a mini library.

“Hello, your Majesty. '' She said, bowing.

''Hello Luccie. Leonard told me you wanted to see me..."

'' Yes. I did as you asked me. I have finished writing my report and I would like to show it to you. ''

''Ah, I forgot... Thank you Luccie. ''

I had softened so much in the comfort of my room that I had completely forgotten this detail.

“I am at your service, your Majesty. ''

I sat down in my office chair. I then took the file Luccie was holding and began to read it in its entirety.

“It wasn’t all good. Things seem a lot more complicated than I thought. ''

The more I read, the more despair showed on my face.

First, regarding the forces and personnel available, we were lacking. We didn't even have enough to be considered an army.

Regarding our mining resources, we were in the red, it was going to be difficult for us to design new weapons. And speaking of our food supplies, the attic was empty.

According to this same report, the morale of the troops is at its lowest.

I wanted to conquer the world, but it was going to be much more difficult than expected.

The Demon King Realm is late, 50 years late. Because of me, the demon king was reincarnated prematurely and as a result, his army did not have the necessary time to replenish itself.

Now that I was at the top, I had to face the problem I had created myself.

Fortunately, I had a solution.

“Thank you Luccie, this report is very well written and also very detailed. ''

“I did my best, your Majesty. ''

'' GOOD... ''

After reviewing the situation with the demons, I used a communication spell to reach Ragnar telepathically.

“Ragnar, can you hear me? ''

“Yes, your Majesty…”

''Did you do what I asked you? ''

“Yes, your Majesty. ''

“Very good, also bring Magma, Nebulime and Leonard instead of

appointment. I will join you with Luccie. ''

“At your command, your Majesty. ''

The discussion finished, I turned to Luccie.

“We’re not going Luccie. ''

“Yes, your Majesty. ''

Followed by Luccie, I went to a private room.

It was, in a way, the throne room.

When the large door opened and I stepped onto the floor of the room, a red carpet was laid out on the floor and led straight to a throne. On both ends of the carpet were demons. They bowed down when they saw me enter the room.

In front of me, a few meters from the throne were my four lieutenants and next to the throne, Gloria was waiting for me.

I continued to move forward with my head held high and my chest out. I had to live up to my title.

Once seated, I began to observe the people in front of me.

They made up the remainder of my army that was still reachable. There were around 300 of them and they were only made up of lower demons.

At least 220 of these demons had brown horns and the rest had black horns. Among them, I could see Leonard.

Since their morale was at its lowest, I had to address them with a good impression.

“Lift your head and look at your king. '' I said, taking on a deeper voice and a dark look.

They raised their heads.

Now that they had their eyes on me, I would be able to make a big impact.

I let my mana flow surge throughout the room. The atmosphere had become heavy and the demons who had raised their heads immediately lowered their heads.

My four lieutenants also could no longer stand on their legs because of the pressure. Only Gloria at my side could stay standing, even if she had some difficulty.

Gloria was a part of my consciousness and did not have a horn like me. So, seeing her resist the pressure of my mana did not surprise me.

Regardless, I had managed to establish my dominance over everyone in this room. I then used a spell to amplify my vocal cords, then I spoke again.

“Lift your head and admire the omnipotence of your king. ''

Only my lieutenants managed to raise their heads. The others didn't have enough strength to do it.

“It was planned that I would be reincarnated a century later, but as you see, it only took me half that time to realize it. Now that I'm back, I must admit that I'm disappointed with the power you display. You have become so weak that you cannot lift your head. ''

I sighed and then spoke again.

''But now that I'm back, I'm going to put things back in order. ''

I relieved the pressure in the room by stopping my flow of mana.

''In the past, we have only been content to establish our domination solely by force. It has become such an obsession with us that we have forgotten our main objective, that of living in peace. Humans and other races are a problem in the equation. And at the moment we don't have the strength to subdue them by force, but we can do it another way. If you follow my plan to the letter and everyone gives 100%, we will be on top of everything. So, hurry up and become much stronger to meet my expectations. During this time, I will protect you all with my strength. ''

At the end of my speech, they let out a loud cry of joy which made the room shake. I had managed to bend them to my will. Now the serious things could begin.

Nonetheless, I was proud of the result obtained.

A few minutes later, I found myself in my office with my four lieutenants. I asked Leonard and Gloria to join us.

“Your Majesty, your speech was very elegant. '' Said Nebulime.

'' THANKS. ''

“The morale of the troops has risen as a whole. All thanks to you. '' Added Ragnar.

“This is just the beginning. Things will start to move in the right direction. ''

Their faces lit up. They had all their hopes in me. I had to make myself worthy of the new stature I carry.

“Magma, do you master the elements of water and earth very well? ''

“Yes, your Majesty. ''

“I have a mission for you. While I am gone, I would like you to use your magic to clear the ground around the mansion and if possible, continuously water it with water until I return. ''

“Yes, your Majesty. '' He said, bowing.

''Until I return? Do you intend to be absent? '' Luccie asked me.

''Yes, I'm going to do a little sightseeing. ''
