Peace Hunter

Not only was Queen Kayana surprised, Miss Karina, Judge Roswald, and Duke Louis were also surprised. I even saw that Duke Remy and Caroline were also surprised.

"That's right, Your Majesty. These 'subjects' also have the same physical characteristics as other demons, making them difficult to cut or slash. But strangely, the demon 'subjects' I fought didn't attack me with ~Dark Magic~ even once. Either they really can't use ~Dark Magic~ or they deliberately didn't use it," I said.

"Even though they have the physical characteristics of other demons, they can't use ~Dark Magic~. Perhaps those who attacked you were imperfect 'subjects', which is why they couldn't use ~Dark Magic~," said Queen Kayana.

"Perhaps so, Your Majesty. However, even if they don't use ~Dark Magic~, their strong physique is already quite troublesome. Moreover, they are also skilled at manipulating Mana and magic. I don't know if they also possess the Elven Heart like the previous 'subjects' or not. But I think 'subjects' with Demonic physical characteristics don't possess the Elven Heart like the previous 'subjects'. The reason is because while they can manipulate Mana and magic, the magic they use isn't as abundant and powerful as the magic typically used by 'subjects' with an Elven Heart."

"Back in the Hevea Forest, I fought two different types of 'subjects': those with an Elven Heart and those with Demonic physical characteristics. The 'subjects' with an Elf Heart continuously attacked me with numerous powerful spells without the slightest sign of fatigue. However, their physique wasn't as strong as the 'subjects' with Demonic physical characteristics. Meanwhile, the 'subjects' with Demonic physical characteristics are indeed physically strong, but they don't perform many powerful magical attacks. Even so, one attack by the 'subject' was already dangerous enough if it hit someone," I said.

"Hmm, I see. So you think that the 'subjects' who have physical characteristics like Demons don't have the heart of an Elf like the previous 'subjects'. It makes sense if you say that after fighting them directly and you see that they don't do many powerful magic attacks. They also don't seem to have the heart of the Demon race itself. Because if they did, the 'subjects' should be able to use ~Dark Magic~ or other magic continuously without getting tired just like the 'subjects' who have the Elf heart,"

"If they didn't use the heart of the Demon race to create the demon 'subjects', it means they likely used the blood of a 'pure-blooded demon' to create the demon 'subjects'. The blood of a 'pure-blooded demon' can make someone who drinks the blood turn into a demon. The person who drinks the blood of a 'pure-blooded demon' will become a 'half-blooded demon'. Some 'half-blooded demons' can use ~Dark Magic~ just like 'pure-blooded demons' but 'half-blooded demons' can't turn others into demons using their blood. So only 'pure-blooded demons' can turn people into demons. At least that's what I know."

"The question is, if they created the demon 'subject' using the blood of a 'pure-blooded demon', how did they obtain that blood? San Fulgen kingdom is very far from the southern continent, so it's very difficult to find demons around this kingdom," said Queen Kayana.

Everyone present fell silent upon hearing Queen Kayana's words.

"More than that, Your Majesty. The sudden appearance of this demon 'subject' truly surprised us all. In fact, the 'subject' didn't even appear in any of the evidence my informants found at Duke James's residence," said Duke Louis.

"That's right. I've read all the documents and found no evidence mentioning the demon 'subject'," said Judge Roswald.

"Yes, I didn't expect it either. I just assumed that the 'subjects' they had were only 'subjects' who had an Elf heart. Because before the case about this 'subject' was revealed, there was an incident of murder of several people from the Elf race whose hearts had been removed. So I suspected that the murder incident had something to do with an experimental subject and it turned out that my suspicion was correct with the existence of a 'subject' who had an Elf heart. However, the appearance of a 'subject' who had physical characteristics like a Demons was truly very surprising because so far there had been no incidents or events related to demons in this kingdom. Except, the incident of the demons attack that happened a while ago," said Queen Kayana.

"It's certain that the demon attack incident a while ago was related to that demon 'subject.' That's because that demon 'subject' can be said to have originated from humans and then transformed into a demon. Just like Duke James, Duke Darwin, Marquess Marcelo, and the others who suddenly transformed into demons. But what's strange is that those demon 'subjects' were supposed to have been created by Duke James, Duke Darwin, and Marquess Marcelo, but why did they suddenly transform into demons in that courthouse?" asked Judge Roswald.

"Back in the courthouse earlier, I heard Duke James say that someone betrayed them. It seems that the person who betrayed them turned them into demons, because judging by their transformations, they seemed to have been transformed by someone else," said Duke Louis.

"Yes, I also heard Duke James say that. It seems the person who betrayed them is the mastermind behind this incident and also the mastermind behind the plan to assassinate Her Majesty the Queen and the entire San Lucia family. But the question is, who is that mastermind?" pondered Judge Roswald.

Everyone in the discussion room fell silent upon hearing Judge Roswald's words. Then Queen Kayana began to speak.

"I have a suspicion regarding the mastermind behind this. I said earlier that it seems they're creating demon 'subjects' from the blood of 'pure-blooded demons'. While San Fulgen kingdom is far from the southern continent, it's normally difficult to find demons in this kingdom or its surroundings. But what if a 'pure-blooded demon' is in this kingdom and moving in the shadows without our knowledge?" asked Queen Kayana.

We were shocked by Queen Kayana's words.

"What do you mean, Your Majesty? So you're saying there's a 'pure-blooded demon' in this kingdom?" asked Duke Louis.

"I told you that this is just my assumption, Lord Louis. I know that the blood of a 'pure-blooded demon' can turn someone into a demon. After knowing that there are other 'subjects', namely 'subjects' of demons and seeing the incident of people who turned into demons a while ago, my assumption is strengthened. This 'pure-blooded demon' initially worked together with Duke James, Duke Darwin and Marquess Marcelo to create 'subjects' of demons. But then this 'pure-blooded demon' betrayed Duke James, Duke Darwin and Marquess Marcelo by turning them into demons,"

"It seems that the people who were to be turned into demons, realized they would change a few moments before they did. Therefore, Duke James said that someone betrayed them. The reason the 'pure-blooded demon' betrayed the three of them was because the three of them were caught red-handed at that time and their plan was also revealed. The demon did not want the three of them to leak many other secrets that's why the demon decided to betray them. But what I said is just an assumption," said Queen Kayana.

"I see. Your assumption is quite interesting, Your Majesty. If your assumption is correct, I wonder who this 'pure-blooded demon' is? I hope he isn't a high-ranking demon like the commander of the demon army," said Judge Roswald.

Everyone who heard those words fell silent and anxious.

"Although it's just my assumption, if my assumption is correct, I hope it isn't a high-ranking demon. If it is a high-ranking demon and it wreaks havoc in this kingdom, then this kingdom will suffer the same fate as the Kingdom of Framtida," said Queen Kayana.

Everyone who heard that fell silent again.

"Never mind, don't think too much about my assumptions. It's better for now that those tasked with inspecting Duke James and Duke Darwin's residences can find new evidence about their evil plans and these new demonic 'subjects.' I hope they also find evidence about the true mastermind behind this incident and their plan to kill me and the entire San Lucia family," said Queen Kayana.

After Queen Kayana said that, Miss Karina suddenly spoke.

"Your Majesty, it seems we've missed a suspect we can question. This suspect is still alive, and we can ask him about this," said Miss Karina.

"Hmm, who are you referring to, Ms. Principal asked Queen Kayana.

"Florian Randall San Minerva, son of Duke Darwin, Your Majesty. As I heard from the crystal stone earlier, Florian was the one who ordered Enzo to kill Rid in the Hevea Forest. That means Florian likely knew about the assassination plot carried out by Duke James and Duke Darwin. Moreover, Florian is one of the 'subjects' as his name was listed on the 'subjects' discovered by Lord Louis' informant. We can ask him about the assassination plot and the 'subjects'," said Miss Karina.

"You're right. I completely forgot about that. I've been focusing on the main perpetrator since it involves high-ranking nobles at the Duke and Marquess level. Thank you for reminding me, Ms. Principal," said Queen Kayana.

"You're welcome, Your Majesty. So, what should we do about Florian?" asked Miss Karina.

"Of course we must capture him. Tell Violetta to arrest him immediately and take him to San Sabaneta Prison. Order her and her knights to be extra careful because Florian is one of the 'subjects.' He could go berserk when he's about to be captured. Even if he goes berserk, whatever happens, he must be captured alive," said Queen Kayana.

"Roger, Your Majesty," said Miss Karina.

30 minutes later, at San Fulgen Academy.

It was lunchtime at the academy. Meanwhile, in the main room of the Elevrad, Senior Florian and Princess Amelia were chatting inside.

"It seems Rid has received his sentence for killing Enzo and the others," said Princess Amelia.

"He should have, but I still haven't heard from my father," said Senior Florian.

"Neither have I. My father hasn't informed me. He was present at the trial," said Princess Amelia.

"Although neither of us has received any news, I'm absolutely certain that Rid will receive the death penalty for his actions. There's no way he can escape that death sentence. If Rid is sentenced to death, Irene will no longer have a partner. And after that, she will return to participate in the ~Matchmaking Battle~. With Irene back in the ~Matchmaking Battle~, our father's plan will be in full swing," said Senior Florian.

After Senior Florian said that, the door to the main room of Elevrad suddenly opened with a bang. Senior Florian and Princess Amelia were shocked to see what was happening. In front of the open door of the main room of Elevrad, Miss Violetta was standing with her right foot raised. It seemed like Miss Violetta had kicked the door open, causing it to swing open with a bang.

After opening the door, Miss Violetta slowly entered the main room of Elevrad, accompanied by five knights assigned to guard the academy. Meanwhile, Senior Florian and Princess Amelia were still shocked, especially after seeing Miss Violetta slowly enter the room.

"B-big sis?" said Princess Amelia, surprised.

"What's the matter, Miss Violetta? Why did you suddenly come in and kick the door in?" asked Senior Florian.

"I apologize for entering this room so rudely and impolitely. I came here to carry out the task assigned to me, and that task is to arrest and detain the son of Duke San Minerva, Florian Randall San Minerva," said Miss Violetta.
