In the world of Moe King, I became the ruler of ice.

"This elven lord has contacted me?"

Frey sat up straight and tidied herself up a bit before opening the crystal ball.

The two crystal balls began to display images of each other, and even sound could be transmitted.

"Lord Gransta, I didn't expect you to contact me so suddenly."

Frey adopted a mature smile and looked at Gransta in the picture.

Gransta smiled politely at Frey and stated the purpose of the contact without any hesitation.

"Queen Frey, Milim has left the Monster Capital. Our plan can now begin."

When Frey heard that Milim had left the Monster Capital, her face lit up with joy.

You know, she had invited Milim to come over to play countless times, but Milim remained unmoved.

It was as if her Sky City held no appeal whatsoever, and this period of time had been causing her a great deal of distress.

"Really? That's wonderful!"

Frey's face showed a hint of unease and a touch of complaint; she really didn't know what was so attractive about the Demon Saint Palace.

"Yes, Queen Frey, now our plan can be put into action."

Gulansta's face showed nothing, remaining extremely calm.

A hint of hesitation appeared on Frey's face before she finally spoke.

"Lord Gransta, do you really intend to do this?"

"If that control artifact in Kleiman's possession really works, then wouldn't that mean..."

Granstas clearly saw Queen Frey's expression begin to waver, and she frowned slightly.

"Queen Frey?"

Upon hearing Gransta's words, Frey's expression calmed down slightly, and she stared blankly at Gransta's calm appearance on the screen.

Looking into those extremely calm eyes seemed to make her unsettled heart freeze.

"Um, I'm sorry, I lost my composure a bit."

Frey then remembered the subordinates that Beklerman had cruelly murdered, and the flames of anger in her eyes flared up again.

Gransta also noticed the change in Queen Frey's expression. It was understandable, given that his plan was somewhat bold and he had only met Frey once before, so it was inevitable that he would waver.

"Queen Frey, Kleiman has already contacted you, hasn't he? Or perhaps he's already started threatening you?"

Granstas's penetrating gaze fell upon Frey, as if he could see through everything.

A look of shock flashed in Frey's eyes, but she quickly concealed it; after all, she was a wise demon lord.

Looking at the silent Queen Frey, Gransta guessed what was going on; it seemed that Kleiman was starting to get anxious.

"Queen Frey, with your wisdom, you'll surely make the right decision, won't you? As for that treasure that controls the Demon King that you're worried about... let me tell you..."

In order to make Frey more determined to stand on his side, Gransta also revealed some of Milim's characteristics.

For the Ancient Demon Lord Milim to think she could control someone through a treasure is simply a joke. Even her sovereign couldn't do it, and even the sovereign, after awakening, admitted it was impossible.

Moreover, Clayman had not yet become an awakened demon king, and was unaware of the power of the ultimate skill.

Queen Frey's face showed surprise after hearing this, after all, she had not successfully awakened her ultimate skill and was not very clear about it.

"If that's the case, then Kleiman's chances of success are less than 10%."

Frey's gaze began to harden, which made her think of Kleiman's clown-like behavior.

Not long ago, Kleiman had approached her, attempting to force her to submit and even resorting to threats, which she found extremely offensive.

Having said all that, Gulansta believed that Queen Frey had made a firm choice.

really--

On the crystal ball screen, Frey nodded at him and gave him a somewhat apologetic smile.

"Lord Gransta, then I will proceed according to your plan."

"Um."

Gransta nodded in satisfaction. Now Frey was on his side, fighting against Clayman together.

"However, Milim probably doesn't know yet. Should we tell her beforehand?"

Frey also felt that since the treasure couldn't control the ancient demon king, she should discuss and coordinate with Milim beforehand.

Granstas was unusually silent for a moment when Queen Frey was worried about something.

He really didn't know if Milim, with her playful nature maxed out, would cooperate, but he figured she probably would!

If this is for Rimuru...

A wicked smile crept across Granstad's lips as he came up with a reason.

So I briefly explained the method to Queen Frey, and it might work.

Frey was also unsure about the difference in her expression; would this kind of thing even work?

"Is this alright? And what about Carrion?"

Frey was a little unsure, but seeing how confident he seemed, she decided to give it a try.

"Karion the Demon King?" Gransta raised his handsome eyebrows slightly.

Given the straightforward nature of the Demon King Carrion, would he cooperate with their plan?

Definitely not. They'd probably have drawn their knives and attacked him as soon as they learned of Kleiman's plan.

"Let's keep this from King Kallion for now; the fewer people who know about this plan, the better."

"Um."

Frey nodded gently.

After a moment, Gransta severed the connection between the crystal balls.

At that moment, Zhu Lai also came over with tea and desserts, and became curious when she saw the crystal ball.

"Lord Gransta, I have prepared some desserts."

My gaze fell on this crystal ball that seemed to be a one-way communication device, and I was a little curious about who Lord Gransta had been communicating with just now.

After Gransta put away the crystal ball, she looked at the considerate Julai and gently patted her head.

"Put it on the table first."

"Um."

It's so comfortable having Julai around, especially since he became her secretary and could stay in the ice castle to focus on his magical research.

Unlike Rimuru's secretary, who occasionally expresses a desire to demonstrate her culinary skills.

hehe....

...

Rimuru rode on Ranga, enjoying the rush of wind outside, his expression one of pure bliss.

Suddenly, I sneezed.

"Something's not right? Is someone thinking about me?"

Rimuru gestured for Ranga to stop and took out a bento box that Shion had carefully prepared from his storage space.

However, he hesitated a bit, and when Ranya saw the bento box, he couldn't help but take a few steps back.

Rimuru said irritably when he saw Ranga's actions.

"What are you afraid of?"

"Master, to be honest, I'm still quite scared."

Rimuru was speechless.
