Since the logistics of the Demon King Castle are basically handled by skeleton soldiers, after Bone Fra left, these skeleton soldiers were leaderless for a while, causing the Demon King Castle to co to a standstill until Shami reissued orders, restoring normalcy.
In those two days without Bone Fra around, Shami noticed a bit of inconvenience while working.
When the Demon King Castle was first built, there was a need for manpower in many areas. The four Demon Envoys were in school, so Shami found Bone Fra, the idlest among the demons, to take on the role of the castle’s butler.
But later, due to a series of inexplicable events, Bone Fra beca a maid, a bed warr.
Also, frequently staying by Shami’s side to convey the Demon King’s orders to the Demon Realm, Bone Fra naturally beca the Demon King’s personal assistant.
Fast forward to the present, although Bone Fra usually wears a maid’s outfit, she is more like the real ruling butler of the Demon King Castle.
Thus, after the "Bone Fra Incident," Shami thought for a mont and decided to maintain Bone Fra’s original position.
Bone Fra still serves as the chief maid of the Demon King Castle & Castle Butler & Demon King’s Private Secretary & Bedroom Bed Warr Tool & Bone Model.
"Wait, when you count it up, Bone Fra holds way too many positions alone! It feels like Bone Fra knows more about the Demon King Castle than I do!"
Shami frowned, realizing that if this continued, Bone Fra might eventually overshadow the Demon King Castle.
By then, Bone Fra’s power could expand uncontrollably, leading to clashes with the power of the Demon Envoys, reaching the point of deceiving the upper echelon and reporting falsely from below, resulting in a series of terrifying events.
Although Bone Fra’s loyalty to Shami is currently at [99], the future is always full of uncertainties.
Shami’s expression turned solemn.
"Here it cos, the internal power structure and power struggle within the Demon King Castle is already showing nascent signs. The Demon King must extinguish this grim future in the present."
Shami pondered for a mont and ca up with a good solution.
Indeed!
Division of powers and checks and balances!
Delegate part of Bone Fra’s current duties to achieve a balance of power.
Shami first thought of the four Demon Envoys.
But obviously, none of the four Demon Envoys are free at the mont.
Moreover, having the Demon Envoys manage the operations of the Demon King Castle seems like overkill.
The role of the Castle Butler is indeed important, but after all, it’s just managing dostic affairs in a castle.
While the Demon Envoys, second only to the Demon King among demons, need to handle major external events, like defeating Heroes, destroying adventurer parties, and so on.
"Besides, the work of the Demon King Castle Butler is much the sa every day, requiring soone with patience. Those idiots will surely complain after the novelty wears off in two days, right?"
Shami mumbled, sifting through suitable candidates in his mind. Soon, a small-voiced figure appeared in his mind.
Shami’s lips curved into a smile.
Not long after.
A black feather pen, escorted by a Sli, arrived at the Demon King Castle. Shami picked up the pen and walked into the castle, placing it on a decorative table adorned with a vase in the hall.
"Co out, Wenli."
Shami watched the black pen.
After a quiet mont, a ghost girl with chestnut hair tied into twin tails and freckles on her cheeks appeared, floating in front of Shami.
"Lord Shami... what, what do you need from ?"
The suitable candidate Shami found was the twin-tailed ghost Wenli.
"It’s like this."
Shami pulled Bone Fra over from the side.
"The Demon King places great importance on the survival of the Ghost Race in the Demon Realm. Considering that there is currently no one responsible for the connection between the Demon King Castle and Ghost Valley, I plan to have Wenli take on this role. Moreover, the Demon King Castle also needs the presence of ghosts. From now on, Wenli will work in the Demon King Castle, helping to share Bone Fra’s work."
As Shami spoke, Bone Fra excitedly looked up.
"Lord Shami, you finally realized I’m doing five or six jobs by myself! If this goes on, I feel like I’m becoming the boss of the Demon King Castle."
Shami coughed awkwardly.
Exactly because of that, hence the power distribution.
"Welco, Wenli. From now on, you are also a Demon King Castle Butler."
"Eh! I just got here not long ago! And I’m not familiar with anything about the Demon King Castle."
Wenli, who had only been to the Demon King Castle once or twice, looked around in fear, her twin tails drooping.
"Don’t worry. I’ll teach you hand-in-hand. Also, I’ll be by your side as the Maid Chief of the Demon King Castle." Bone Fra comforted her.
Shami frowned. Why is the Maid Chief role more appealing than the Butler role?
"Bone Fra, if you dare to mislead Wenli with your stocking culture, you can wait to be dismbered into different latrines."
Shami preemptively warned.
"Eh!"
Bone Fra was very disappointed.
Hearing she would be thrown into latrines if she didn’t do well, the twin-tailed ghost girl shivered. Bone Fra quickly grabbed Wenli to prevent her from hiding back in the black pen.
"Wenli, this is a rare opportunity to rise. Think about your Ghost Race kin. If the tribe doesn’t have a representative in the Demon King Castle, it could easily be forgotten. Look at Jello; how long has it been picking cotton without appearing!"
"But, but..."
Bone Fra and the twin-tailed ghost girl debated.
Shami silently watched the scene unfold, noticing Bone Fra had no intention of seizing power.
