Satan is king for the first time, while Ira has been striving to be a king's teacher for a long time... There is naturally a difference between a king's teacher and an ordinary teacher.
Of course, for most people, this "distinction" comes from the identity of a "king," but for Ira, it's different. For him, the difference is the number of students, since he only needs to be responsible for one student.
It's similar to the difference between a tutor and a teacher...
Therefore, when Ira was educating the king, his teaching method was naturally tailored to the individual student. This inevitably leads to the discussion of the difference between the two students he recognized, namely, the difference between Satan and Isabella.
Isabella is a born queen. She has the magnanimity and temperament of a queen, which can even overshadow the natural rebelliousness and mischief of a child. She has the indifference and calmness of a queen, and the personality of a queen.
He is a king far more powerful than Uther, who has no kingly bearing whatsoever; he is the chosen king!
Isabella's behavior, decision-making style, and the future that Uther and Ira envisioned meant that she would not be soft-hearted on national policies and would wholeheartedly be a majestic and awe-inspiring ruler.
However, due to her biased perspective, Isabella needs Ira's help to guide her in some national affairs. Because of the environment of the empire, Isabella also needs to learn many things that she doesn't actually need to learn.
Managing domestic power dynamics... maintaining balance and equilibrium between factions such as the old aristocracy, the new aristocracy, officials born into commoner families, generals, royal relatives, the royal family, and Iraqi factions; balancing international relations with domestic interests.
There are many, many more examples like this.
The empire is a powerful behemoth, but this colossal beast, while powerful, also has a rather bloated system and many useless limbs that are outdated.
Therefore, Ira doesn't think there's anything wrong with how he raised Isabella... he just thinks he should have shown more warmth instead of always being rational.
So what about Satan Leaf now?
...
What kind of person is Satan-Yeh? Ira didn't know much about him. Compared to Isabella, whom she had raised from childhood, Ira was not very familiar with Satan-Yeh.
However, he used this time to understand the system of monster-ruled areas.
There was no need to teach her the art of imperial rule, how to manage her subordinates, or even how to trust them or delegate power... because she herself did these things exceptionally well, even excessively so.
The influence of experience and perspective, which leads to a shortsightedness common to everyone in the world due to the lack of historical lessons to learn, is something that is very difficult to change.
However, in the Demon King's territory, there is no need to change Satanieh's position, because Ira can confidently unleash her full power and freely modify everything in the Demon King's territory.
Because power is something that no leader cares about much.
So, aside from combat power, regarding the aspect of being a king... all we need to do is let Satan Ye acquire the mindset of a king, and know how she should issue commands in the Demon King's territory like a true king.
"So, what are your thoughts on how to handle the territories confirmed to be in rebellion?"
This confidence in asking the question probably stemmed from Ira's endorsement and approval. Satanye would have asked the question before because she didn't know what to do, but this question was completely different.
Because Ira told her that what she needed to do now was to ask questions, not because she was confused, but because she knew she needed to ask questions.
"..."
In an instant, Satan Ye's petite figure seemed to overlap with the image of a muscular demon king who liked to expose his chest... That was Satan Ye's father, the strange and warlike former demon king who died on the battlefield and was worthy of respect.
While respectable, that hothead also bears a great deal of responsibility for the current state of the monster-controlled area.
"Let's issue the final ultimatum first!"
Vera said this, casually crossing her legs, "Let Senata issue a final ultimatum to the Gorgon's territory. Of course... they probably won't obey and submit again, right?"
Vera, who was talking with a grin, seemed to have some kind of desire and longing. Her eyes sparkled with curiosity about the Gorgon, or rather... a thirst for knowledge about the Gorgon's corpse.
"Then, it's decided!"
As Satanye spoke, she seemed to have found a bit of a kingly feeling. She looked at everyone present and loudly announced, "At that time, let our army crush the territory of the Gorgon!"
"..."
All the generals present, whether they were insectoids, black knights, or headless knights, stood up simultaneously without saying anything.
Even though the Demon King's territory was utterly defeated by the Empire and the Governor, it wasn't because the Demon King's territory was weak, but because all the demons were weak and suffered a common defeat.
However, some territories seem to think differently. They try to distance themselves from the Demon King, as if this would eliminate the need for war with the Empire, and as if this would make them not the losers.
People have long since reached their breaking point.
"However, from a geographical perspective, the Gorgon's territory is separated from ours by the lizardmen's territory and the centaur's territory, so directly attacking the Gorgon would be a mistake."
But Ira poured cold water on his enthusiasm. If this were in the Empire, he would never have said such a discouraging thing. But because this was in the Demon King's territory, he could simply offer a different, more rational opinion.
