I'm Going to Die, I'm Going to Die, I'm Going to Die! (Continued)

Warfarin pouted.

Although she appeared very humble and lacked authority in front of Maria, Warfarin actually deserved the title of miracle doctor to most people.

"Because I live nearby."

As she spoke, she glared angrily at Maria not far away, gritting her teeth.

"You just left me outside all alone, do you know I almost got sunburned like a dried bat?!"

"... have no idea."

"You!"

Maria's honest answer nearly made Warfarin explode again.

Their playful bickering made the Banshees Captain hesitate.

In her memory, the Princess Consort never played around... Oh, she had heard that the Lord and the Princess Consort would joke around a bit when they rested, but at least, she had never seen her laugh when she saw her.

So...

Is it just someone with a similar personality?

The Banshees was somewhat puzzled, but still nodded slightly.

Meanwhile, Warfarin, watching these people's behavior, suddenly became nervous.

She carefully approached Maria and spoke.

"You've been exposed?"

"No."

"That's good."

Warfarin nodded slightly, her thoughts racing, before turning to face the Banshees.

"Sorry, I might have startled you. This is a friend of mine from out of town, not Sarkaz. I was worried she might encounter some danger, so I made her wear a cloak when she went out... But she's not a bad person."

"I see."

Although the Banshees Captain still had some doubts, she clearly lowered her guard for the time being, nodded slightly, and then stood up.

"If it's someone we know... then Dr. Warfarin, this matter is of utmost importance..."

"I understand, I understand~"

Warfarin waved her hand, looking at the other girl's tense little face with a lazy expression, "I won't tell anyone... and I won't let her tell anyone either."

"Thank you for your help."

The Banshees nodded and began cleaning up the scene.

Warfarin and Maria did not linger.

On the way back, Warfarin didn't ask Maria to return the cloak to her. She didn't let out a long sigh of relief until she got back to the small clinic.

"Honestly, you've gotten yourself into a whole bunch of trouble again in the blink of an eye."

Exhausted, Warfarin returned home and, without saying much, immediately soaked in the nearby pool to cool herself down.

There was a hint of ambiguity in his words.

Maria frowned slightly.

She still didn't understand what these people were up to.

After pondering for a moment, Warfarin tilted her head.

"It's probably about weakening the power of the Royal Court."

"Um?"

"You've been gone all these years, and our beloved Demon King doesn't have enough authority to suppress those Royal Court. Although some powerful Banshee Court and Carrion Court support him, most Royal Court lords still don't care much about this Demon King."

Warfarin shrugged. "That's how it's been for thousands of years. They're used to generation after generation of demon kings."

"This has resulted in Kazdel only developing into what it is today, even though more than a hundred years have passed... It's still a long way from being truly modern."

"Although there were rumors of weakening the Royal Court's power years ago, it seems now... she has truly made her decision."

"And now, we are in the preparation stage; we absolutely must not let those people from the Royal Court know about this."

Warfarin appears indifferent to modern society, but clearly, she isn't truly indifferent.

Most things just don't affect her, so she's too lazy to react.

Maria frowned slightly and then said nothing more.

Time passed quickly again.

Soon, the year 1030 arrived.

That year, Ursus and Victoria also joined the war between Gaul and Leithanien.

However, they did not stand on one side; rather, they united and launched a war against Gaul, which was at the height of its power at the time.

At this point, if you want to maximize your benefits, you should propose negotiations...

After all, neither Victoria nor Ursus had tasted the fruits of their labor, so they wouldn't continue their greed like bloodthirsty sharks. Meanwhile, Gaul had successfully encroached on a significant portion of Leithanien's territory over the years.

If negotiations can be completed, he can continue to build up his strength.

Unfortunately, perhaps due to overconfidence in Gaul is now clearly unaware of the seriousness of the situation and has even taken the initiative to engage in battle with the three kingdoms simultaneously!

The situation became increasingly tense, to the point that the original land was no longer sufficient for the war, and some battles broke out within Kazdel's territory!

Many Sarkaz were also drawn into the conflict.

This angered Sarkaz.

They began to condemn the current demon king for her cowardice and incompetence, ignoring the suffering of her people.

Theresa made no response to these accusations, but instead issued several orders limiting the maximum number of troops in the Royal Court that had already organized their own armies.

Clearly, she has already begun to take action.

The war outside has not yet truly broken out directly with the Sarkaz, but everyone can sense that the situation is becoming increasingly unsettling.

It was at this moment that Maria realized that the doubts raised about the Demon Lord within Kazdel were very likely a counterattack and preparation by the Royal Court.

Once the time is right, they can legitimately launch a war against Theresa.

Clearly, the passage of time has caused the Royal Court to lose their reverence for the Demon King.

What made Maria even worse was that as she gradually studied the Blood Demon's eerie blood, she began to detect a familiar yet strange aura within it...

That is...

"Gordan's aura..."

Maria narrowed her eyes slightly, her expression turning serious.

The little girl next to her turned her head curiously.

"Gordan?"

"Nothing."

Maria shook her head and looked at the girl.

This girl is the little girl Maria met after arriving in Kazdel.

She was incredibly excited when she first met Warfarin.

Maria doesn't know what efforts she made, but she eventually managed to get to Warfarin's side and began learning medicine from Warfarin.

Although Warfarin herself had some reservations about it, she could only reluctantly accept it after seeing the girl's admiring gaze.

Over time, Maria and the girl gradually became familiar with each other.

Thus, it was discovered that the girl was actually from Leithanien.

Her mother was also Lich, so she had half Sarkaz blood...

Of course, bloodlines in this world can't be described like that, since the offspring of two different races will generally only inherit traits from one of them.

When Maria asked the girl how she viewed the current war, she could only offer a bitter smile.

"I just hope... nothing bad happens."

Time continued to flow.

Soon, it was October of 1030.

Under the siege of multiple nations, Gaul gradually showed signs of fatigue, but Gaul still showed no sign of letting up. Above, the aura of Gordan gradually became subtle, and the conflict between the Demon King of Kazdel and the Royal Court became increasingly direct.

Several Royal Court have already directly expressed their disapproval of the current Demon King.

But everyone noticed that Theresa didn't care at all.

In fact, with a little thought, one should realize that these minor Royal Court simply do not have the confidence to speak up.

If that's the case, then the most likely explanation is that they have a much larger Royal Court backing them...

However, through propaganda, this has become a symbol of a cowardly and incompetent demon king.

The situation... has spiraled out of control...

Thinking of this, Maria paused and sighed softly.

Warfarin, standing next to her, seemed somewhat puzzled.

"What's wrong now?"

"Nothing."

"Oh."

Warfarin blinked but didn't say anything more.

Maria and she have been living together for almost a year now.

This time had allowed the two to become familiar with each other.

Yet, it maintains a subtle sense of distance.

Warfarin knew that Maria wasn't a particularly difficult person to talk to, nor was she the bloodthirsty berserker she remembered.

She has become more gentle and reliable.

This actually made Warfarin very Maria what had happened to Maria over the years.

But seeing that Maria remained silent, she didn't ask any further questions.

In fact, she had tried asking Maria before.

Unfortunately, perhaps because Warfarin was too unruly at that time, Maria became somewhat displeased, and she was hung on the tree by the door again.

This isn't the first time something like this has happened.

Every time Warfarin tried to ambush Maria and taste Maria's ever-fragrant blood, Maria would simply hang her by the door.

At first, she also found it difficult to adapt.

But over time, she was surprised to find that she had actually gotten used to this kind of life.

She even feels like she can't sleep well if there's a period of time when she's not hanging from a tree.

I sleep better when I'm hanging upside down.

This made Warfarin feel like she was becoming strange.

And it was during this wait that the door to the medical room was suddenly pushed open!

"Dr. Warfarin!"

It's that young girl who came for an internship.

Her face flushed red, she dragged a woman who was more than twice her height back to the room in a hurry.

This made Maria frown.

Warfarin immediately took a liking to the seriously injured woman.

"Who is she?"
