Peace Hunter

"Have you come up with a new plan?" said a nobleman sitting in a row of chairs in the center of the room.

"Yes. I've come up with a new plan to kill the entire San Lucia family and Her Majesty the Queen," said Duke Remy.

"As expected of Lord Remy, you are truly brilliant."

"That's right, you are indeed the most intelligent Duke among the others."

"It hasn't been long since your previous plan was revealed and put into action, but you've already come up with a new plan. You truly are amazing, I admire you," said the nobles.

Those who had been sitting began to stand and applaud Duke Remy.

"You don't need to flatter me like that, I know you're just trying to suck up to me. Don't worry, as long as you don't betray me, I will give you a good position after I take over this kingdom. So you don't need to suck up to me to get a good position," said Duke Remy.

The nobles who had been standing and applauding fell silent and began to sit down again.

"Of course, for those of you who betray me, not only will you be denied a good position, you will receive severe punishment from me. For example, I will transform you into those standing on each side of this room," said Duke Remy.

The nobles then began to look around the room. Their faces were pale, and they looked anxious as they looked around. This was because many artificial demons were lined up on each side of the room.

"King Albert, Miss Harriet, and Miss Claret, I have successfully transformed them into demons, and they are now my pawns who will never disobey my orders. If you betray me, I will transform you into them, pawns who will never disobey my orders," said Duke Remy.

The nobles' expressions grew increasingly anxious. Sweat dripped down their faces.

"But, come to think of it, you're too weak to be my pawns. So perhaps I won't turn you into my pawns because I don't want to waste my lady's blood on weaklings like you. So perhaps I'd rather torture you as punishment if you betray me," said Duke Remy.

The nobles grew increasingly anxious, and their faces paled.

"But you don't need to worry. I'll only do that if you betray me. You'll be safe if you don't. Besides, I still need people like you to help me after I've conquered this kingdom and become its leader. I can order my pawns to fill positions in this kingdom later, but my pawns can only accept simple orders; they can't accept difficult orders like ordering them to govern and lead a region. Therefore, I still need people like you to fill positions in this kingdom later," said Duke Remy.

The nobles fell silent. Not long after, they began to speak again.

"I-I promise I will not betray you, Lord,"

"I-I promise too,"

"I-I too," said the nobles.

"I not only need your word, but I also need your actions to keep your promise. Because you might say you won't betray me, but in the end, you do something to betray me," said Duke Remy.

The nobles fell silent again. But soon they began to speak loudly.

"We promise we will not betray you, either in word or action, Lord," said the nobles.

"Good. I hope you will keep that promise. I ask for your cooperation from now on," said Duke Remy.

"Yes, Lord, We also ask for your cooperation," said the nobles.

Duke Remy then smiled after listening to the nobles' words.

"Now, I will tell you what plan I have made. For now, my pawns and I will not take any action as long as the 'security emergency status' in this kingdom has not been lifted by Her Majesty the Queen. That status requires all knights in this kingdom to guard the area or region where they are assigned. The surveillance and guarding carried out by the knights of this kingdom will be stricter than usual with that status. Therefore, I will not take any action or movement because my actions may be known by the knights or the kingdom,"

"Then, soon, Her Majesty the Queen will inaugurate two new Dukes to replace Lord Darwin, who previously served as Duke of San Minerva, and Lord James, who previously served as Duke of San Angela. The two new Dukes who will be inaugurated by Her Majesty the Queen seem to be people who will always support all decisions and regulations made by Her Majesty the Queen, unlike Lord Darwin and Lord James, who previously always opposed any decisions and regulations made by Her Majesty the Queen if they were detrimental to them. Therefore, I must not act suspiciously in the future. I must also pretend to agree with all decisions and regulations made by Her Majesty the Queen. Otherwise, I might be suspected by her of being suspicious."

"But I am only pretending to support the decisions and regulations made by Her Majesty the Queen. All of this is for the sake of a new plan I have formulated. I plan to cause unrest and rebellion throughout the kingdom when they think there will be no more attacks on this kingdom," said Duke Remy.

The nobles seemed shocked after hearing Duke Remy's words. They seemed to have no idea that Duke Remy would plan to incite unrest and rebellion throughout the kingdom. Then, a nobleman raised his hand. The other nobles looked at the raised nobleman, as did Duke Remy.

"What's wrong? Why are you raising your hand?" asked Duke Remy.

"I-I apologize for interrupting you while you were speaking, Lord. I-I just wanted to ask when exactly you planned to incite unrest in the San Fulgen kingdom, when the San Fulgen kingdom thought there would be no further attacks? B-Because the San Fulgen Kingdom is currently under a state of emergency, and it's still unknown when this state of emergency will be lifted," said the nobleman.

"Good question. When exactly will I carry out the plan to create a riot when this kingdom assumes that there will be no more attacks in this kingdom, while the 'state of emergency security' in this kingdom is also unknown when it will be lifted? The 'state of emergency security' announced by Her Majesty the Queen, will probably last for one year. With the note that during the one year of the 'state of emergency security' there will be no incidents such as the attack on San Sabaneta prison and the attack on Aston village. If during that one year there are no incidents, then the 'state of emergency security' will be lifted. However, this 'state of emergency security' could also be lifted in less than a period or maybe more, depending on the situation in this kingdom. Therefore, I will not carry out any more attacks in this kingdom so that the 'state of emergency security' that is applied in this kingdom can be lifted as soon as possible,"

"Then, even though the 'state of emergency' in this kingdom has been lifted, I will still refrain from any further attacks. I'm doing this so that everyone in this kingdom will slowly begin to believe that this kingdom has returned to peace, with no further attacks occurring anywhere in this kingdom. However, even if I don't launch an attack, I will still secretly strengthen my forces so that my plan to create unrest can proceed smoothly."

"This plan will be implemented in two years, specifically during the San Fulgen Academy tournament. I'm confident that in two years, the 'state of emergency' in this kingdom will be lifted. Then, with no further attacks until that plan is implemented, I'm sure most people in this kingdom will gradually assume that this kingdom has returned to peace. If they do, they will surely let their guard down."

"Then why did I choose to carry out this plan while the San Fulgen Akademiya tournament was taking place? The reason is because during the academy tournament, specifically during the final match, many important nobles such as Her Majesty the Queen and all the Dukes will definitely be present. I'm sure Lord Louis, the Duke of San Lucia, will also be present at the academy tournament at that time because he no longer has any conflicts with the other Dukes considering that Lord Darwin and Lord James, who often had conflicts with him, have also died. Meanwhile, I, who previously had a conflict with him, have also apologized on the grounds that I only went along with what Lord Darwin and Lord James did,"

"Then, when Lord Louis arrives at the academy, I will order my demon pawns to attack San Lucia City in Lord Louis's absence and kill the entire San Lucia family living there. Furthermore, to prevent assistance from arriving from elsewhere, I will also order my demon pawns to attack other regions in the San Fulgen Kingdom. This will keep the kingdom's knights focused on attacking their respective areas, preventing them from assisting other regions. Unrest in other regions of the San Fulgen Kingdom will also prevent aid from arriving at San Fulgen Academy if the academy is attacked."

"After ensuring that no reinforcements, including knights or commanders, will arrive at the academy, I will immediately order my strongest demon pawns to attack the academy while the academy tournament is underway. Not only my pawns, but I will also join in the attack. My pawns and I will kill Her Majesty the Queen and Lord Louis at the academy while they are watching the academy tournament,"

"Not only those two, but I will also kill the two new Dukes who will definitely be present at the academy tournament. However, it will certainly not be easy to kill them because they will certainly put up resistance, but it is only a matter of time. With no reinforcements arriving at the academy while the academy is under attack, it is only a matter of time before they become exhausted from facing my pieces attacking them. Once they are exhausted, killing them will be as easy as turning the palm of your hand. Even for Her Majesty the Queen, the strongest witch in this kingdom, killing her will not be a difficult task once she is exhausted from continuously fighting my strongest pawns," said Duke Remy.
