Lord Huang's Strange Coloring Game. / The Pink-Haired Girl Wants to Demand an Explanation.

When Theresia turned around hoping to hear Kal'tsit's praise, she was surprised to find that the latter still had a serious expression, as if she hadn't seen anything.

"Kal'tsit, did I do something wrong?"

Kal'tsit, snapping out of her daze, quickly smiled and said, "Your Highness did a wonderful job. To achieve this under such conditions, you are undoubtedly a wise ruler. I was just daydreaming."

She wasn't actually distracted; it's just that even the capital city has developed into this state... other places...

Kazdel is indeed doing very well now, but it is still far behind other countries.

To put it simply, after touring most of the capital, she only saw two heavy industrial factories.

Without a doubt, one of the mountains belonged to Huang Cao's fertilizer manufacturing plant, while the rest of the plants were steel smelters belonging solely to the brother and sister's army.

And that was it; what remained were mostly light industrial workshops.

This is enough to show that the situation in this country is still far from optimistic.

Chapter 142 Master Huang's Strange Coloring Game

"Your Highness, do you think the people are doing well these days?"

Kal'tsit suddenly asked a question.

Theresia nodded without any doubt.

Judging from the surface, Kazdel is currently experiencing favorable weather and has not even suffered any major disasters.

A thriving and bright future seems to be just around the corner.

But what is the price? The price is gradually becoming an economic puppet of the enemy.

Sliding step by step toward a slow death.

Before the fertilizer plant was built, Kazdel would inevitably be swallowed up by Huang Cao in the future; it would be an instant death.

Kal'tsit believed that there was absolutely no possibility of the country and the Huang Cao coexisting on an equal footing.

Because Huang Cao's goal is to become the supreme ruler of the entire land, achieving a pinnacle of power unmatched by anyone.

This man thought that instead of everyone discriminating against each other, he should become the leader.

I will discriminate against all of you equally, so that none of you will discriminate against each other.

In any case, everyone below me is just a beast of burden.

Huang Cao: This time, everyone except me is equal! I am the boss of everyone!

Isn't this also a form of equality?

The difference is that there used to be countless nobles, but now only Huang Cao remains.

However, this leader, strictly speaking, was not oppressive; he was more considerate than most nobles.

This is abstract, but it also fits the abstraction of this land.

At least Kal'tsit did not agree with this approach, so she tried to correct the man's thinking from beginning to end, but to little avail.

According to Huang Cao: Not everyone will reason with you. Only by thoroughly eliminating the bad guys and their idiots can you truly achieve perfection!

At this point, Kal'tsit would always say, "Then what about the ordinary people who are manipulated by conspirators? They have never had a choice."

Huang Cao often retorted, "What does this have to do with me! Every wrong has its perpetrator, so I will try to persuade you to surrender. If you are still stubborn after being persuaded to surrender, don't blame me for humanely destroying you."

If ordinary people cannot correct their ways, they become enemies; to be merciful to an enemy is to be cruel to oneself.

Huang Cao came into this world to be Noble Lord, not a psychologist.

I've given you a better life than before, and you still oppose me. The only thing to do with such an idiot is to use physical force. If that doesn't work, then I'll just have to humanely euthanize him. Anyway, I don't need a few more.

There are relatively few stubborn people in this world, and it is inevitable that a group of people will be sacrificed in order to achieve a goal.

Huang Cao had her own set of behavioral logic regarding this.

The logic behind this blade of grass's behavior is as follows: because compared to the small fry on this land, its conquest can completely change the face of this land and make the world a better place, therefore it is righteous, and those who obstruct it are bad.

There's no need for a reason to fight bad guys! As for the sacrifice of innocent people, it's just that the bad guys are using these people, not me. It's none of my business. If my advice still doesn't work, then I can only blame the bad guys on the other side for being too despicable.

Based on this theory, Huang Cao had absolutely no psychological burden when carrying out various shady operations.

Because my moral high ground is above yours!

For example, Kazdel's current situation is essentially equivalent to a slow death.

While life may seem to be getting better, in reality, all industries are gradually being controlled by the Huang Cao behind the fertilizer plants.

Because no matter what kind of product it is, it eventually needs to be sold...

While Kal'tsit was strolling around with Theresia, they saw many Sarkaz busy at work.

Some were weaving cloth, while others were boiling animal hides and making paper, but who ultimately bought these goods?

Does the perpetually impoverished Sarkaz really have that many needs?

Or is it that some Royal Court is making the acquisition?

Kazdel, the capital, has an unusually large number of artisan workshops, and most of them are very busy...

Now, only the capital city in the entire country can barely afford to eat its fill...

These exquisite goods are difficult to circulate outside the capital.

After visiting Kazdel, Kal'tsit felt increasingly troubled and subconsciously looked at the prince in front of her, trying to get an explanation.

But Theresia felt that everything in the country was thriving and there was nothing wrong with it.

The two returned to the Demon King's Palace that night.

"Don't worry, Kal'tsit, go take a bath and relax."

Theresia tenderly rubbed Kal'tsit's cat ears.

Since returning to Kazdel from "Victoria", the woman in front of me has been frowning. Could it be that she is under too much pressure?

The evil Demon King stripped Kal'tsit naked and gently placed the big cat into the bathtub.

"Maybe I'm just overthinking it."

Kal'tsit rested her head against the pink-clad woman's chest behind her, feeling the softness on the back of her neck, enjoying this hard-won moment of leisure.

"Kal'tsit, you seem to have gained a lot of weight since last time."

"The food at that Noble Lord's house is alright, and he doesn't mistreat me, although I still have to give him a bath..."

"Excuse me, but what is the gender of that Victoria nobleman?"

"A young man who has two wives."

"Excuse me, Kal'tsit, you were definitely wearing clothes when you were scrubbing yourself in the bath, right?"

"I'm very sorry, I couldn't keep my innocence. I have no secrets from that guy anymore, but thankfully he didn't harm me."

At this point, Kal'tsit even showed a regretful expression, which made Theresia instantly puzzled.

Isn't this great? Why are you looking so regretful?

So what exactly happened?

"My relationship with that guy is complicated, so it's best not to know."

We must never let His Highness know what I do every day, otherwise His Highness's pure heart may become somewhat tainted.

"But Kal'tsit... you smell really good."

Theresia couldn't resist hugging the big cat in front of her in the bathtub, greedily inhaling its scent.

Both her voice and her body exuded that captivating herbal scent, something that wasn't present when we met decades ago...

"Because the Noble Lord's wife liked the scent very much, she also sprayed perfume on me."

Kal'tsit did not respond directly.

In reality, because two people were so bad at the game, and another person's physical condition and combat ability were so strong, they often had to go to bed after playing only a few games at night.

As a personal maid, Lamian also frequently sends this cat to serve our Master Huang in order to get revenge on Kal'tsit.

Without crossing the line, Kal'tsit had to use every trick in the book to make Master Huang the character) completely satisfied with the game.

Therefore, it's normal for the Huang Cao to be covered in paint from coloring games, and over time it will absorb the smell of paint.

That's why Kal'tsit had to keep it from her princess; after all, this stuff is something you can't smell too much of.

Chapter 143 The pink-haired one Who Wanted to Question Us

After bathing and changing clothes with His Highness.

The two stood with their backs to the fireplace, drying their hair as they discussed the recent developments in Kazdel.

"Now every household has a stove! No more hunger and cold in winter. I imagine it won't be long before every household in our country has such living conditions."

"Your Highness, under your wise guidance, I believe that such a day is not far off."

Kal'tsit didn't want to undermine her princess's confidence, even though the gap between them and Eden was widening.

However, no one can catch up with the bizarre plant technology of Huang Cao.

However, when comparing the two sides, it is still relatively difficult for them to collapse.

The two chatted idly for a while, and then Theresia picked up a letter from the table.

"This is some information that my intelligence organization has recently gathered. Kal'tsit, your Noble Lord recently dealt with more than a dozen Sarkaz, and their bodies were buried on the spot."

At this point, Theresia's expression turned serious.

This is clearly a challenge to her bottom line; her own people died without any explanation.

If it weren't for the rather strange relationship between the two sides, Theresia would have personally led her troops to shut down the fertilizer plant.

That intensive study session decades ago taught her something: one shouldn't act impulsively.

The only premise for dialogue between countries is interests; anything can be used as a lever to weigh those interests.

Even human life is a measurable thing; in the interests between nations, there are no emotions that can be measured.

That's why Theresia wanted to find Kal'tsit. She originally wanted to investigate on her own, but if she could clear up the misunderstanding, she wanted to avoid conflict as much as possible.

"Your Highness, when were these people discovered?"

Kal'tsit asked with some doubt, as she had never heard of this guy doing anything like this when she was working as a maid for Huang Cao.

"My intelligence team only uncovered these people half a month ago. Each of them was decapitated, and the wounds were extremely gruesome, as if they had been cut open by sharp tree branches."

"Only the guards at the fertilizer plant could have caused this kind of wound, because most of their weapons are crooked, sharp, and irregular..."

Kal'tsit then asked, "And who are these people...?"

"They are all employees who were assigned to work at the fertilizer plant under contract and have been working there for more than ten years. Because their coworkers found that their companions were missing, they asked me to help them find them, so I sent out the intelligence unit to search for them."

"That's the final result..."

Theresia lowered her head and spoke in a sorrowful tone.

But this is completely illogical.

Kal'tsit understood that Huang Cao had complete control over her subordinates.

Therefore, it's impossible for these soldiers to do something that's outwardly compliant but inwardly defiant. Either Huang Cao's plan was hindered by these people, or these people did something...

However, this is hard to explain. What obstacles could these ordinary Sarkaz possibly pose to Huang Cao's plans?

These people were not even from the Royal Court, and their strength was not particularly great.

Could they have done something? But these people were just giving orders to the workers, what could they possibly do?

It makes absolutely no sense...

"Your Highness, please don't be so upset. There must be some hidden story that we don't know about, but that Noble Lord didn't tell us."

It's not impossible that Huang Cao was planning something and was accidentally caught by these people.

Therefore, the possibility of murder to silence him cannot be ruled out. After getting to know this guy over the years, Kal'tsit felt that this was not impossible.
