Peace Hunter

The nobles immediately stood up and applauded upon hearing Duke Remy's words. They applauded enthusiastically.

"What a magnificent plan, Lord Remy,"

"You truly are brilliant,"

"Killing Her Majesty the Queen and the entire San Lucia family is certainly not impossible after hearing your plan,"

"With your plan, it's certain that you can easily seize this kingdom," said the nobles.

The nobles continued to praise Duke Remy.

"Although I am quite confident in the strength of my pawns in causing unrest throughout this kingdom, I still need your help. I ask that you assist in causing unrest and rebellion in this kingdom when my plan is put into action," said Duke Remy.

"Rest assured, Lord. We will definitely assist you,"

"Yes, of course we will assist you,"

"That's right," said the nobles.

The nobles agreed to Duke Remy's request to help in causing unrest and rebellion in the kingdom.

"Very good, let us work together to seize this kingdom," said Duke Remy.

The nobles continued to applaud, and as time went on, their applause grew louder. A few minutes later, they gradually stopped clapping until finally all the nobles were silent.

The atmosphere returned to silence. As silence settled, a noble suddenly raised his hand. It was the same noble who had raised his hand earlier. The other nobles, as well as Duke Remy, looked at the raised hand.

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

"P-Pardon me for interrupting you, Lord. B-but I would like to ask you something," said the noble.

"Ask what?" asked Duke Remy.

"L-lord is very confident that you can kill Her Majesty the Queen and the entire San Lucia family in this plan. B-but what about Rid Archie? H-His presence is very threatening because he has previously thwarted your plan. S-shouldn't you do something about him first, because he might be able to thwart your plan this time too?" said the nobleman.

The other nobles fell silent for a moment. Then they whispered to the person beside them. They whispered that what the nobleman said was true, Duke Remy must do something about Rid Archie first because he is a threat who could also thwart this plan.

Duke Remy fell silent after hearing the nobleman's words. But he only remained silent for a moment, after which he began to speak.

"You don't need to worry," said Duke Remy.

The nobles who were still whispering fell silent and looked at Duke Remy.

"I am very aware of the potential threat of Rid Archie. You are right, he could thwart my plans this time. However, I have another reason why I ordered my strongest servants to attack the academy. In addition to killing Her Majesty the Queen, Lord Louis and the two new Dukes, I will also order my strongest pawns to kill Rid Archie. I doubt he can survive against my strongest pawns who want to kill him. However, if he can survive, then....." said Duke Remy.

Meanwhile, a few moments earlier, in the academy principal's office.

"Please sit, Rid," said Queen Kayana.

Having just arrived in the room, I was immediately invited to sit by Queen Kayana. I sat down in the chair next to Miss Karina. The table where I was sitting now had a large selection of food and drinks. It seemed Her Majesty wanted to have a casual conversation with Miss Karina and me.

"What business have you come here for, Your Majesty?" I asked.

"There's no need to rush. I know you're curious about my reason for coming here, but before that, let's eat first," said Queen Kayana.

"Very well, Your Majesty," I said.

The three of us began to eat the food on the table. A few minutes later, we were finished. Then, after drinking the drinks on the table, Her Majesty began to speak.

"First, the reason I came here was because I wanted to express my condolences to you, Rid. Although I was the one who told Karina about the attack on Aston Village, I haven't yet expressed my condolences to you. I'm sorry for what happened to Aston Village and all its residents," said Queen Kayana.

"Thank you, Your Majesty," I said.

"I never expected Aston Village to be the target of an attack. Moreover, the village was attacked while the knights I sent were delivering the gifts you requested to the Aston villagers. As a result, the knights who were delivering the gifts were also attacked and killed," said Queen Kayana.

"Does Your Majesty know who carried out the attack on Aston Village?" I asked.

"Not yet, but I suspect that the perpetrator who attacked Aston Village is the same perpetrator who carried out the attack on San Sabaneta Prison. That perpetrator is also the perpetrator who planned the murder of me and the entire San Lucia family. Karina has already told you about my suspicions, right?" asked Queen Kayana.

"Yes, Your Majesty. According to Her Majesty's suspicions, the perpetrator likely harbored a grudge against me because I had previously uncovered and thwarted his plan. He then took revenge by attacking Aston Village and killing all the villagers there instead of attacking and killing me," I said.

"Yes. Since you are currently at the academy, which is heavily guarded by knights commanded by Violetta, the perpetrator is likely reconsidering attacking and killing you. Furthermore, the perpetrator undoubtedly recognizes your strength, so he doesn't want to attack you directly. Therefore, he chose to take revenge by killing the Aston villagers close to you. He probably thought that you might suffer a mental attack from the deaths of the Aston villagers close to you, but seeing as you are fine now, it seems his plan didn't work," said Queen Kayana.

"I was a little unfocused and uneasy after learning that Aston Village had been attacked and its villagers killed. But now I'm back to normal, Your Majesty," I said.

"That's good. As for the perpetrator of the attack, I do suspect it's the same person who planned the assassination of me and the entire San Lucia family. But I still haven't been able to identify the perpetrator. Although I've ordered the royal knights to search suspicious locations throughout the kingdom, I still haven't been able to find any evidence pointing to the main perpetrator. The perpetrator seems to be someone who knows the situation in this kingdom. He knows when to hide and when to move," said Queen Kayana.

"The perpetrator also knows about Aston Village, which is my hometown, Your Majesty. Yet, only a few people know about my hometown," I said.

"Perhaps you once told Enzo and Florian about your hometown, Rid. Then, Enzo and Florian immediately told Lord Darwin and Lord James about your hometown. Lord Darwin and Lord James then told the main perpetrator, which is why he knows about your hometown," said Miss Karina.

"No, I never told Enzo or Senior Florian about my hometown, Miss," I said.

"Hmm, if that's the case, this is truly strange. How did the perpetrator know about your hometown?" Miss Karina asked thoughtfully.

Miss Karina and I fell silent, and the atmosphere grew silent. Queen Kayana, noticing the silence, spoke up.

"Enough, enough, you don't need to think about that. I assure you that I will find the perpetrator, whether soon or later. Once I find the perpetrator, I will kill him with my own hands. I will not forgive what he has done to this kingdom," said Queen Kayana, looking slightly angry.

Miss Karina remained silent, looking at Queen Kayana. Her face looked a little apprehensive, as if she was afraid Queen Kayana would release her aura, as she seemed a little angry.

Meanwhile, after hearing Queen Kayana's words, I raised my hand. Miss Karina and Queen Kayana immediately looked at me, who was raising my hand.

"What's wrong, Rid?" asked Queen Kayana.

"I have a request, Your Majesty. This request is quite selfish," I said.

"What request is it?" asked Queen Kayana.

"If the perpetrator who planned the murder of you and the entire San Lucia family is the same perpetrator who carried out the attack on Aston Village, then I cannot simply remain silent. I cannot allow you to kill that perpetrator with your own hands, Your Majesty. That's because I made a promise to the Aston villagers who died while I was at their graves," I said.

"Made a promise? What promise is that?" asked Queen Kayana.

"I promised them that I would be the one to deal with the perpetrator who attacked the village and killed them. Therefore, I ask you not to kill that perpetrator, Your Majesty. Because..." I said.

Meanwhile, Duke Remy, who was in the basement of his residence, began to continue his previous words. At the same time, Rid, who was in Miss Karina's room, also continued his words.

"...I will kill him myself!" Rid and Duke Remy said simultaneously.
