Peace Hunter

Everyone, including the students, knights, staff, and faculty of the academy, was shocked after reading today's newspaper. They didn't expect the news to be even more shocking than what Miss Karina had told them. Moreover, there were several new news that Miss Karina hadn't previously mentioned.

-

At the academy gate.

Miss Violetta was seen reading today's newspaper with several knights guarding the academy gate.

"Hmmm, the incident at the courthouse and the revelation of the plot to assassinate Her Majesty the Queen and the entire San Lucia family are truly sensational news that have been published in this newspaper," said Miss Violetta.

"I was a little skeptical of Miss Karina's words, but it turns out she was right about demons attacking the courthouse. And these demons came from people who were in the courthouse, including Duke San Minerva and Duke San Angela. They all suddenly transformed into demons while the trial was in progress. It seems they transformed into demons after drinking demon blood,"

"This is truly strange. Even if the demons came from people who transformed into demons and weren't pure demons, it's still strange. The San Fulgen Kingdom is very far from the southern continent, so there shouldn't be any demonic activity in this kingdom. Even when I was still one of the 'Holy Knights', I never had any dealings with demons. With no demonic activity, it shouldn't be possible to obtain demon blood in this kingdom or its surroundings. Where did they get the demon blood to allow those people to drink it and turn into demons?" thought Miss Violetta.

Then Miss Violetta returned to reading the newspaper.

"There are lots of photos of Her Majesty the Queen and Rid in this newspaper. So, hmm, isn't this Asier?" Miss Violetta asked, looking at the photo of Commander Asier in the newspaper.

"He seems to have changed quite a bit. It's been a long time since I've seen him. The last time I saw him was during the duel to determine the position of commander of the knights two years ago," Miss Violetta said.

-

In the academy principal's office.

Miss Karina was seen trying to contact someone with her communication crystal. However, the person she wanted to contact seemed unreachable.

"Big Sis, why hasn't she been reachable since earlier? Okay, I'll contact her later. She's probably calming down now, especially after the news broke. I can't believe that Brother Albert was also involved in the plot to assassinate Sister Kayana and the entire San Lucia family."

"If I remember correctly, when I said goodbye to my Sister Kayana to return to the academy, Rid said that Sister Kayana looked gloomy. It seems like at that time, she already knew that Brother Albert was involved in the murder plot," said Miss Karina.

The newspaper published today shocked not only the people at the academy, but also the entire San Fulgen kingdom. Everyone in the kingdom seemed to be in disbelief at the news, especially the plot to assassinate Her Majesty the Queen and the entire San Lucia family.

Meanwhile, at the Duke of San Minerva's residence.

It appeared that most of the residence had been severely damaged due to the battle between Commander Keira and Commander Marshall. Despite the extensive damage, many Silver Peacock knights were present. They were seen inspecting and searching the heavily damaged residence. Not only the Silver Peacock knights, but the commander of the Silver Peacock troops, Commander Keira, was also present.

Commander Keira was seen reading a newspaper in the courtyard of the residence.

"So, that student named Rid Archie was declared innocent. Also, I never thought that old man Duke would plot to assassinate Her Majesty the Queen and the entire San Lucia family. Did he think he could kill Her Majesty the Queen and the entire San Lucia family even though they used knights derived from experimental subjects? How foolish. In the end, that old man died, even though he himself became an experimental subject," said Commander Keira.

As Commander Keira continued reading the newspaper, one of her knights suddenly approached her.

"Reporting, Commander. It seems there are many people approaching this residence, Commander," said the knight.

"There are many people approaching this residence? Who are they?" asked Commander Keira.

"Judging by their attire, they seem to be just ordinary people, Commander," said the knight.

"I see. Perhaps these people are people who were previously harmed by Duke San Minerva. You've heard this rumor, right? That Duke San Minerva's policies have caused many losses to the people of the San Minerva region. However, those people cannot protest; those who do are arrested and punished by Duke San Minerva's knights secretly so that the Duke San Minerva's knights actions are not known to outsiders, especially Her Majesty the Queen," said Commander Keira.

"Yes, I've heard that rumor, Commander," said the knight.

"If they came to this residence to laugh and rejoice over Duke San Minerva's death, then the rumor is likely true," said Commander Keira.

"Then what should we do, Commander?" asked the knight.

"Call your other comrades and have them stand guard in front of the residence. I myself will also go to the Duke's residence. If they have indeed come to celebrate the death of Duke San Minerva, so be it. After all, Duke San Minerva has also committed a crime by being involved in the plot to assassinate Her Majesty the Queen and the entire San Lucia family. However, if a riot breaks out while they are celebrating, stop them immediately," said Commander Keira.

"Yes, Commander. Then I will immediately contact my colleagues," said the knight.

"Yes," said Commander Keira.

Then the knight left to contact his colleagues. Meanwhile, Commander Keira looked back at the newspaper she was currently holding. Commander Keira was seen looking at a photo of Rid throwing an electric spear at Duke San Angela, who had transformed into a demon, as featured in the newspaper.

"Rid Archie, for some reason, he always appears and gets involved in major incidents that occur in this kingdom. Who knows what else he will be involved in in the future," said Commander Keira.

-

At Duke San Angela's residence.

Commander Asier, Vice Commander Sara, and a large number of 'Frost Wolf' knights were seen standing in front of Duke San Angela's residence. They were standing guard outside the residence to prevent anyone else from entering. Meanwhile, in front of them, many people were dancing and cheering, as if celebrating something. They had come to Duke San Angela's residence to celebrate something: the death of Duke San Angela.

"Commander, is it okay if we let them do this?" asked Vice Commander Sara.

"That's fine, as long as they do this without any disturbance. But if they do, stop them immediately," said Commander Asier.

"Yes, Commander. But why are they celebrating, Commander? Shouldn't they be sad because the Duke who led their territory is dead?" asked Vice Commander Sara.

"If a good and kind leader dies, of course the people led by that leader will grieve and cry. But if the leader who died was evil, cunning, and irresponsible, the people led by that leader will be happy. Seeing those people enjoying themselves and celebrating the death of Duke San Angela, their leader in the San Angela region, doesn't that mean that Duke San Angela was an evil and hated leader?" asked Commander Asier.

-

Meanwhile, in one of the buildings in the San Quentine area.

A white-haired woman wearing a snowflake-patterned kimono and a long robe was seen reading today's newspaper. At her waist was a sword, but it looked different from the others. It looked like a katana. Its sheath bore numerous snowflake patterns.

"I was told by Lord Louis that our family was targeted for assassination. I didn't believe him at first, but after reading this newspaper, it seems he was right."

"They planned to assassinate Her Majesty the Queen and our entire family? What a foolish plan," the woman said.
