Peace Hunter

"Her Majesty the Queen is currently in my room," said Miss Karina.

Hearing Miss Karina's words, I was a little surprised.

"Her Majesty is in my room right now? Why is she there?" I asked.

"I don't know, she said she wanted to discuss something with us, so I called you. By the way, are you currently with your friends?" Miss Karina asked.

"No, Miss. I decided to stay away from them to answer your call," I said.

"That's good then. Don't let your friends know that Her Majesty is here at the academy. Especially Charles and Chloe, don't let them know," said Miss Karina.

"Yes, Miss," I said.

"Ok, come to my place right away. You don't need to worry even though I summoned you during lunch break. I've prepared food in this room for us to eat together while we talk with Her Majesty. Besides, Her Majesty the Queen said this was a casual conversation, so we can have it over lunch," said Miss Karina.

"Ok, miss. I'll be right there," I said.

"I'll wait," said Miss Karina.

After that, the communication crystal I was holding stopped glowing, meaning Miss Karina had ended her call to me. After Miss Karina's call ended, I immediately put my communication crystal away and went to my friends.

"Everyone, I apologize that I can't have lunch with you all today. I have to go to Miss Karina's room. She said she has something she wants to discuss," I said.

"I see. It seems our Elevrad chairman is busy," said Noa.

"Ok, Rid. Then we'll go to the cafeteria first," said Charles.

"Yes. I apologize again," I said.

"No need to apologize, Rid, just relax. Come on, let's go to the cafeteria," said Charles.

"Yes," said Noa and the others.

Charles, Noa, and the others went to the cafeteria for lunch. Irene also went to the cafeteria, but before she left, she glanced at me for a few seconds. After that, she went straight to the cafeteria with Charles and the others. Then, I also prepared to go to Miss Karina's room.

After arriving in front of Miss Karina's door, I knocked.

*Knock *Knock *Knock

"Come in," said Miss Karina from inside the room.

After Miss Karina gave me permission to enter, I went straight into the room. Inside, I saw Miss Karina and Queen Kayana sitting on chairs, with a table in front of them with lots of food and drinks on it.

"Good afternoon, Miss Karina nd Her Majesty," I said.

"Good afternoon, Rid," said Miss Karina.

"Good afternoon too, Rid," said Queen Kayana.

Queen Kayana was dressed casually, not her usual Queen costume, which she always wore to important events. It seemed this was indeed a casual conversation, as Miss Karina had said.

"Please sit, Rid," said Miss Karina.

"Yes, Miss," I said.

I then sat in the same chair as Miss Karina, while Queen Kayana sat in the chair across from us.

"Please eat and drink whatever is on this table, Rid. After all, sis- I mean, Her Majesty already said that this is a casual conversation that can be had while eating," said Miss Karina.

Queen Kayana seemed to smile after hearing Miss Karina's words.

"If you want to call me 'sister', that's fine, Karina. You don't need to use formal terms like 'Her Majesty' when there are only the three of us here. Besides, Rid already knows that we are siblings," said Queen Kayana.

"*Haaaaahhhh, okay," said Miss Karina with a sigh.

Queen Kayana smiled.

"Come on, please eat the food, Rid," said Queen Kayana.

"Yes, Miss Karina, Her Majesty," I said.

I then began to eat some of the food on the table. Queen Kayana and Miss Karina did the same. Then, a few moments later, Miss Karina spoke to Queen Kayana.

"So, what is it that you wanted to talk about that brought you here, sis?" asked Miss Karina.

Queen Kayana was seen chewing her food while Miss Karina was asking her questions. Then, after she finished chewing and finishing her meal, Queen Kayana began to speak.

"I gave you news this morning about the attack on San Sabaneta Prison. I wanted to talk about that," said Queen Kayana.

"Hmm, so you want to talk about that," said Miss Karina.

"Yes. By the way, Rid, have you heard about the attack on San Sabaneta Prison?" asked Queen Kayana.

"Yes, Her Majesty. But I don't know the details because I only overheard conversations among the students. I only know that San Sabaneta Prison was attacked by unknown individuals. The reason they attacked San Sabaneta Prison was to kidnap Senior Florian and Commander Marshall," I said.

"Hmm, so that's all you know, huh? Actually, the identities of those who attacked San Sabaneta Prison are already known. However, I ordered those who know the identities of the attackers not to disclose their identities. The identities of those who attacked San Sabaneta Prison are Miss Claret as a Duchess of San Angela, Miss Harriet as a Duchess of San Minerva, and my husband, King Albert," said Queen Kayana.

I was a little surprised by Queen Kayana's words.

"Aren't those three the people you're currently searching for after suddenly disappearing from their residence? Moreover, they're also rumored to be involved in the assassination plot against you and the entire San Lucia family," I asked.

"Yes, that's right. I also didn't expect them to show up at San Sabaneta Prison. Moreover, they appeared in demon form, just like the demons who attacked the courthouse," said Queen Kayana with an angry expression.

"What?!?!," I said, shocked.

"Please keep this a secret from everyone you meet, Rid. Especially Charles and Chloe. I don't want them to know that their father has turned into a demon, especially since they're probably still thinking about their father plotting to kill me and the entire San Lucia family."

"Albert is indeed my husband. When I learned that he was involved in the plot to kill me and the San Lucia family, I was very disappointed and angry with him. How could he betray me like this. But after learning that he had turned into a demon, I started to wonder. What if he wasn't actually involved in the plot, but was instead framed by the mastermind behind the plot? He might have been forcibly transformed into a demon, just like Lord James and Lord Darwin experienced at the courthouse."

"When I think about that, my heart becomes chaotic, and my mind becomes restless. I imagine what it would be like if my sons and daughters experienced the same thing as me, or even worse. That's why I don't want them to know about their father who has turned into a demon. If they also find out about their father who has turned into a demon, I don't know what will happen to them," said Queen Kayana, her face turning sad.

After hearing Queen Kayana's words, I fell silent, contemplating something.

"What Her Majesty said is true. If Charles and Chloe find out that their father has become a demon, they will probably be sad and shocked again. They had already returned to normal after hearing the news that their father planned to kill their mother. I can't let them find out about their father who has turned into a demon," I thought.

"Yes, Your Majesty. I won't tell anyone, including Charles and Chloe," I said.

"Thank you, Rid. You too, Karina. You didn't tell anyone about this after I told you this morning, right?" asked Queen Kayana.

"I didn't tell anyone, sis," said Miss Karina.

"Good, then," said Queen Kayana.

Then the three of us began eating the food on the table again. While we were eating, I decided to ask Queen Kayana about the attack on San Sabaneta Prison in detail, as I didn't know the full story. Queen Kayana then told me the full story.

"So, most of the knights guarding San Sabaneta Prison, both outside and inside, were killed by King Albert, Duchess Claret, and Duchess Harriet. Did the three of them attack San Sabaneta Prison without using magic, Your Majesty? Because when I was imprisoned there, I couldn't use any magic, which means magic shouldn't have been used there," I said.

"Magic can't be used on the lower floor, which is the special prison floor of that building. However, magic can still be used on floors other than the lower floor. However, when I learned that injured and dead knights were also found on the special prison floor of that building, it seems the three of them injured and killed them without using magic. It seems they were stronger than the people who transformed into demons and attacked the courthouse," said Queen Kayana.

"It seems so, sis. Even Commander Oliver was severely injured by brother Albert who had transformed into a demon," said Miss Karina.

"Sir Oliver said he was fatally wounded because he was off guard. He thought he had defeated Albert, so he let his guard down and was hit by Albert's attack. Because Albert's attack was ~Dark Magic~, he had to go to the Sancta Lux church to be healed because ordinary healing magic couldn't heal the wound. However, knowing that Albert, who had transformed into a demon, could keep up with Sir Oliver proves he has transformed into a demon stronger than the one who attacked the courthouse," said Queen Kayana.

"It's a shame Rid wasn't there. If he had been, perhaps Commander Oliver could have been cured immediately," said Miss Karina.

I was speechless after hearing Miss Karina's words.

"It's a shame that Rid wasn't there, but I did get to hear an interesting conversation Sir Oliver had at the Sancta Lux Church in the capital of San Estella," said Queen Kayana.

"An interesting conversation? What was that?" asked Miss Karina.

"Sir Oliver said that the Priests in the church are very worried about the appearance of people who have been turned into demons in this kingdom. Previously, people who turned into demons attacked the courthouse and now those people are attacking San Sabaneta prison. Although the identity of those who attacked San Sabaneta prison has been hidden, the people in this kingdom already know that those who attacked San Sabaneta prison are people who have turned into demons. Then the Priests think that there might be pure-blooded Demons hiding in this kingdom that can make those people turn into demons. Because of this, some of the Priests suggested inviting some Holy Priests from the central church of the Sancta Lux religion in the Holy Kingdom to help this kingdom if there are many more people injured by attacks from people who have turned into demons,"

"Not only that, some of the priests also suggested a way to eradicate those who have turned into demons in this kingdom and search for pure-blooded demons who might be hiding in this kingdom. The method they proposed was to invite several Holy Knights to come to this kingdom," said Queen Kayana.
