Peace Hunter

"As Miss Claret said earlier, you are truly a bastard!!!," said Duchess Harriet.

Duke Remy began to laugh after hearing Duchess Harriet's words.

"Hahahaha," laughed Duke Remy.

"What's so funny? You think what I just said was just a joke. I won't let you make Florian your slave," said Duchess Harriet.

"If you say that, does that mean you'll let Florian remain imprisoned in San Sabaneta Prison, Miss Harriet? I never thought you'd be the type of mother who doesn't care about her own child, even allowing Florian to remain imprisoned in San Sabaneta Prison while he continues to be tortured every time he's interrogated by the royal soldiers," said Duke Remy.

"I can't bear Florian being imprisoned and possibly tortured, but I can't bear it even more if Florian becomes one of your pawns, Lord Remy!!!," said Duchess Harriet in a loud voice.

Duke Remy simply smiled after hearing Duchess Harriet's words. Afterward, Duchess Claret returned to the prison cell where Duke Remy was, carrying a syringe filled with red liquid.

"I have brought the syringe, Lord," said Duchess Claret in a flat voice.

"Good. Now, inject Miss Harriet with it," said Duke Remy.

"Yes, Lord," said Duchess Claret.

Duchess Claret walked slowly toward Duchess Harriet, holding the syringe she was carrying. Duchess Harriet didn't seem to struggle in the slightest as she saw Duchess Claret walking toward her.

"Soon, you too will be one of my pawns, Miss Harriet. Do you have any last words before you become one of my pawns?" asked Duke Remy.

"I hope the heavens punish you for what you have done," said Duchess Harriet, glaring at Duke Remy.

Duke Remy laughed after hearing Duchess Harriet's words.

"Ahahaha, do you hope the heavens punish me? Are you referring to those Angels you worship? They won't do anything; they just stand there. They may be the strongest race and leaders of the Northern Continent, but they don't care about the Northern Continent at all. They don't care if there's a war between nations, races, or any other conflict in the Northern Continent; they just stay put. They only act when a high-ranking demon stirs up trouble in the Northern Continent, for example, when one of the demon army commanders infiltrates the Northern Continent and wreaks havoc in the Framtida Kingdom."

"The Angels immediately descend 'down below' to defeat and kill the demon army commander. But you know that the Angels didn't just defeat and kill the demon army commander? They also killed the people of the Framtida Kingdom. They even destroyed the entire kingdom and killed everyone in the kingdom. They should have only defeated and killed the demon army commander, why did they have to kill the people of the Framtida Kingdom and destroy the kingdom?"

"That shows they don't care at all about the weaker races and creatures on this Northern continent, like the people of the Framtida Kingdom. It means they don't care about you either, even though you're a former Priest of the Sancta Lux Church, which worships the leader of the Angel race. Your wish will never come true, Miss Harriet. Heaven's punishment will never fall upon me," said Duke Remy.

Duchess Harriet remained silent upon hearing Duke Remy's words, while Duchess Claret was already approaching Duchess Harriet.

"Before you become one of my pawns, let me tell you something. This has to do with Florian. Even without asking you first, I had already planned to save Florian because Florian still has an Elven heart in him. He's a valuable asset that must not fall into the hands of others. So I must save him."

"I asked you just now to see what your reaction would be if I saved and made Florian one of my pawns. As I suspected, you would definitely refuse. But, I will still turn Florian into a demon and make him one of my pawns even if you refuse, Miss Harriet," said Duke Remy.

Miss Harriet, hearing this, became furious.

"You're bastard, Lord Remy! I won't let you have Florian!" said Duchess Harriet in a loud voice.

Duchess Harriet tried to free herself from the chains that bound her body, but she still couldn't. Duke Remy simply smiled at Duchess Harriet as she struggled to free herself. Meanwhile, Duchess Claret was already beside Duchess Harriet, who was struggling to free herself. Duchess Claret prepared to inject Duchess Harriet.

"Do it, Claret," said Duke Remy.

"Yes, Lord," said Duchess Claret in a flat tone.

Duchess Claret immediately injected Duchess Harriet in the neck. The liquid contained in the syringe was injected into Duchess Harriet's body. Duchess Harriet immediately calmed down after being injected with the liquid. Duke Remy, seeing Duchess Harriet successfully injected, smiled with relief.

"Another pawn added," said Duke Remy.

However, after Duke Remy said that, Duchess Harriet suddenly began to move again. She began to struggle again from the chains that bound her. Duchess Claret and Duchess Arnett, who were beside Duchess Harriet, immediately became alert when they saw that Duchess Harriet was still able to move. Meanwhile, Duke Remy remained silent, watching Duchess Harriet.

"It seems the demon blood you injected me with didn't work, Lord Remy. You must be wondering why it didn't work, so let me explain. Priests of the Sancta Lux Church are required to drink holy water before they are ordained as priests. This water has a special effect that makes us immune to any suspicious substances that enter our bodies, such as poison or the demon blood you injected into me. The effects of the holy water last until we die, so even though I'm no longer a priest of the Sancta Lux Church, the effects of the holy water still remain in my body. Therefore, you won't be able to turn me into a m-," said Duchess Harriet.

However, before Duchess Harriet could finish her sentence, she suddenly vomited a large amount of blood from her mouth. Duchess Harriet continued to vomit blood from her mouth. Meanwhile, Duke Remy smiled as she watched Duchess Harriet vomit blood.

"What... happened?" asked Duchess Harriet, stammering as she vomited blood from her mouth.

"You just vomited blood, Miss Harriet. That means the injection is working and you'll soon be transformed into a demon," Duke Remy said.

"No...it's impossible...the holy water's effect...is still present...in my body...So it's impossible...for the demon blood to work," Duchess Harriet stammered.

"I didn't know about the holy water the Priests drank before, but I only learned about it now. It's true that the holy water makes you immune to suspicious substances that enter your body, like poison and demon blood. You might be immune to demon blood after drinking the holy water, but it seems like it only makes you immune to the blood of low-level or mid-level demons. This is evident from your vomiting blood after being injected with that blood. Vomiting blood is the initial process before you transform into a demon after demon blood enters your body. That means the holy water you mentioned doesn't make you immune to the demon blood I injected you with. Well, that's only natural, since the demon blood I injected you with came from a high-level demon," said Duke Remy.

"Blood...of a high-level demon...?" asked Duchess Harriet, shocked.
