Why do people curse?

Was there really a need to look for an answer to that question? Cursing was just something that you did.

Sometimes, curses really did seem to come out all by themselves.

Because you wanted to curse.

Because you had no choice but to curse.

That was currently the case with Eugene. In this situation, faced with such an Emperor, the curse words just came pouring out. He had been left with no choice but to curse.

Just look at this bastard — no, this son of a bitch. The words the Emperor had just spat out painted quite an interesting picture.

What did he say? For the Empire’s prosperity and the peace of the continent? In the end, this son of a bitch was just scared of Helmuth and the Demon Kings. He wanted to stop a war from happening no matter what, so he had called Eugene here today to put a leash on him.

In fact, if you looked at it from a different point of view, the Emperor’s words did seem reasonable. Helmuth was an extremely large empire, and not only was there the threat of the Demon King of Incarceration, there was even the Demon King of Destruction standing behind him. If all of the nations on the continent, both of the humans and all other races, were to join forces, they might barely be able to stand their ground in a war against Helmuth — no, if the two Demon Kings were to make a personal appearance on the frontlines, the war would probably end up one-sidedly flowing in their favor.

However, Straut could only say those kinds of words because he was an Emperor who lived in a peaceful era. Only in that way could he actually have such naive thoughts.

However, Eugene wasn’t someone from this era. Eugene could admit that his way of thinking was still tied back to his past, from three hundred years ago, during the era of war. Regardless of what others might think of him, Eugene really was an old fogey.

“Let me tell you how things were back in my day, you son of a bitch,” Eugene cursed as he sent his chair spinning with a kick. “The world was a very fucked-up place. Demonfolk, demonic beasts, and black wizards were getting up to all sorts of shit all over the place. Meanwhile, all the Demon Kings’ armies were crawling down from the Devildom.”

The Emperor was left grasping for words, “Ah…. Wha….”

“You asked me, who on earth would want a war, didn’t you?” Eugene...
