Building my own nation?
"You want to rebuild the Teykazi Empire?"
At those words, the lich seemed to recall an era in an instant—an era every Sarkaz had once longed for.
But—
The Lich King had never liked that era.
From his perspective, it had not been much different from the present.
Or rather, from the standpoint of civilization-building, that era had been a world a hundred times worse than the present one.
Ordinary citizens of the Teykazi Empire had not lived particularly well either.
They still had to pay taxes, still had to serve as cannon fodder, and still got dragged off for human experimentation as lab rats...
If there had been any difference at all, it was probably that the rulers had been the even more vicious Sarkaz Royal Court.
Just as Victoria's Nobles would never feel pity for commoners merely because they belonged to the same race.
The Nobles of the Teykazi Empire had never treated their own kind any better.
Much less offered friendly greetings to other demons whose only essence was that they were "imperial citizens."
If one had to name an improvement...
It was probably that Sarkaz citizens of the Empire could watch other races being slaughtered by the Nobles in even crueler ways?
But that could only satisfy their spiritual arrogance. It could not improve their own lives.
In truth.
The people of the Teykazi Empire had not lived much better than they did now.
The beautiful ideal nation they had longed for had never existed from the very beginning.
If the Demon King wanted the Teykazi Empire restored...
That would definitely be a terrible development!!
The Lich Lord's expression turned grave.
"I am not rebuilding the Teykazi Empire. I am creating my ideal nation by destroying everything I dislike."
