The leader rose from his seat and approached the coffin with a dissatisfied click of his tongue. "It appears she failed to deceive Baron Riel. It's a considerable waste of resources when one can't outwit a young man."

The assassins remained frozen in place, apprehensive and silent, anticipating their next directives.

"You all instigated the vassal nobles and even provided them with the entire plan, yet they were thwarted so effortlessly," the leader remarked, his tone filled with displeasure.

"It's prudent to maintain a low profile for now. Count David doesn't take kindly to traitors," he added sternly.

"Understood, leader!"

The assassins swiftly exited the basement, leaving the room in silence.

    "Tell me your name," I asked."Speak, you wretch!" Solan's command thundered as her palm collided against the unyielding iron bars, jolting the entire prison with an unexpected tremor.Above, the eerie symphony of splintering glass shattered the silence, filtering down from the mansion. My gaze locked onto Solan, a silent inquiry into the enigma of her existence etched in my expression.Her elevated rank endowed her with acute senses, allowing her to perceive the chaos unfolding above—the cacophony of shattered glass and the shrill cries of terror.The seemingly inconsequential slap she delivered wielded an unfathomable force, enough to mimic the aftermath of a seismic magnitude 7 earthquake rippling through the mansion's structure."Er, it wasn't deliberate," she muttered, averting from me, unwilling to offer an apology at any expense.Disregarding her, I addressed the beastman sternly: "Your silence will lead you to share the fate of this iron rail very soon."The iron rail Solan ha

    "Ah…" Aloov sighed, filled with regret and self-reproach.Aloov remained baffled and incredulous, unable to comprehend how a seemingly small and isolated city could harbor humans possessing such alarming and formidable strength.Aloov sealed his lips gradually. He had talked incessantly for over an hour, draining the moisture from his mouth.That was the extent of this toad's understanding."I never thought a Beastman would cooperate at this level," I quipped with a mocking tone in my voice."Sure, the High Order Beastmen are undoubtedly intelligent and more astute than other beastly tribes. However, there's a deficiency in them that renders them even lesser beings than the rawer, less refined beastmen.""You and your kind lack loyalty; you didn't hesitate to betray your own king. Tsk, tsk, what a disappointment," I lamented, aiming my words directly at Aloov.My words struck deep, piercing Aloov's heart, but he offered no excuses. Instead, he doubled down on his act of betrayal, sayi

  • Demon's Evolution   Sending Eliza Home

    In the realm of profit, no adversaries existed. Wise understood the immense value of nurturing alliances and trade networks rather than engaging in conflict. This path promised greater riches and sustainable growth for Ice Demon City, but it remained a distant ambition.Before any thoughts of establishing trade or forming bonds with the Dark Elves or Mystics could materialize, there was a pressing concern—the impending march of the Merlock army. Failure to thwart this imminent threat risked jeopardizing the entire plan. The revelation of the Merlock clan's existence to the Brightwing Empire would shatter any hope of success.This time demanded a starkly different approach—one devoid of mercy. Despite having granted the Beastmen clemency before by permitting their escape, I now pledged to ensure the complete annihilation of every member of their kind.Though I received word regarding the Mercenary Head of First Fort's success in defeating several disorganized Beastmen factions, I rema

    "You're welcome here anytime," I assured her, gently cupping her face with my hands.Despite the warmth of the moment, a lingering thought persisted within me. I couldn't help but ponder how Eliza would react when she eventually discovered the truth about my real identity.Eliza's demeanor noticeably shifted, reflecting a somber mood, possibly due to her contemplation about a certain witch's upcoming stay in Ice Demon City.After a period of silence, she unexpectedly broke it by asking, "Would you like to hear something?" This request struck me as unusual since it was the first time she sought my opinion before discussing something important.Eliza's change in behavior hinted at her concerns or worries about the witch's presence. Her decision to involve me in the conversation might indicate that she values my perspective or seeks support in discussing her thoughts.By expressing a willingness to listen and share my thoughts, I could potentially offer Eliza the comfort of support or pr

    "Son, are the monsters still on the loose?" Lisa inquired calmly."Yes, I'll head out in the morning to hunt them down once more," I responded, noting Milan's excited expression upon hearing my answer.Milan appeared pleased; it seemed that the baron was walking straight into the trap he had set. He couldn't remain idle, especially considering Anastasia's repeated failures in seducing this baron.Milan had already assumed that Baron Riel was impotent."Why not entrust the hunting to your men? A noble needn't delve into every toilsome task," Lisa remarked thoughtfully. She wasn't keen on her son's engaging in such activities. In her view, it wasn't fitting for someone of noble stature to partake in menial tasks. If a noble were to involve themselves in such matters, what purpose would their retinue serve?Lisa's demeanour held a noble quality, though it didn't diminish her care for the residents; her paramount concern remained her son. As Lisa spoke, Milan's sunny expression swiftly d

    "Bully," Anastasia pouted, her indignation evident as she punched my chest in response to the surprise."Activate 'Stealth'," I whispered as my hand made contact with Anastasia, and in an instant, we vanished from the sight of all those around us. I stole a moment to study her serene face, her eyes glistening with unshed tears. While the others reveled in the guise of a typical hunting party, oblivious to the hidden truths, Anastasia alone understood the weight of this day for me.Amidst the festivities, she knew that today held a far graver significance. It wasn't just a casual celebration; it marked the ominous occasion of an impending assassination for Riel."Take care," she murmured softly.My fingers tenderly brushed away the tears clinging to her lashes before I placed a gentle kiss on her forehead."It'll be okay," I reassured her, my voice a hushed whisper in her ear.Life had taken an unexpected turn. In such a brief span, our destinies had become entwined in ways I never co

    With a sharp, searing pain, an arrow lodged itself in his throat. Gurgling on his own blood, the man stared at me in disbelief.He had observed my quiver's emptiness, so the sudden appearance of the arrow perplexed him—where had it come from?I yanked the arrow out of the man's throat and shook off the remaining blood.In the night's darkness, the arrow emitted a soft, ethereal blue glow—a manifestation known to the locals as the aura arrow.This wasn't a magical projectile summoned by spells; rather, it was a physically crafted arrow, painstakingly forged using the essence of aura, requiring immense effort and skill.Crafting an arrow infused with aura took me a mere moment, a feat that astounded even the most skilled warriors. Legends spoke of the arduous process, with tales claiming it would demand two to three hours of intense focus and preparation from seasoned fighters to create just one.Traditionally, the creation of such arrows required meticulous preparation and unwavering

The perplexing part was how this alcohol seemed to affect him, a Grand Knight, in such a peculiar manner."Your dedication and diligence in rising early for your tasks are commendable, young lord," Zikk remarked, offering an unexpected compliment to the young baron."It's merely a necessity if I'm to navigate through this daunting world," I replied, the words carrying a tone that only someone with a certain edge w

    "Hey! Why should we listen to a brat like you?" The interjection came from the back of the crowd, a young soldier, his face flushed with anger, his eyes blazing with defiance. The rest of the soldiers turned to stare, their expressions a mixture of curiosity and apprehension.A genuine smile spread across my face. Finally, someone had the audacity to speak up. A flicker of satisfaction ignited within me. This was exactly what I had been hoping for, wasn't it? Didn't this feel like the natural order of things?I had anticipated this moment from the very beginning. There was no way these esteemed scions of nobility and battle-hardened knights would meekly submit to the commands of a mere child. The moment I was elected commander of one of the three mighty armies, I knew this tension would inevitably arise. After all, who among these talented warriors would willingly follow a teenager with little to boast of in terms of accomplishments? And let's not forget the shadow of my less-than-st

    Ladia couldn't help but castigate herself for her lapse in judgment. How had she not seen it before? If the involvement of the magic towers would significantly aid the Empire, then the impact of the very person who had defeated the magicians of the tower participating would be monumental.The princess's heart thrummed with the realization, chiding herself for taking so long to come to this epiphany. Was Ethan's proposal the correct course of action or not? She no longer dwelled on the question.With a steely gaze, Ladia announced, "I have reached a verdict."The room fell silent as all eyes turned to the princess. The final decision lay in her hands, and she was ready to reveal it. The anticipation hung heavy in the air, and Ladia took a deep breath before continuing. "I have decided to accept Ethan's proposal."A murmur of surprise rippled through the room, but Ladia held up her hand for silence. "I believe that Ethan's plan, with a few modifications, is the best course of action for

    My suggestion ignited a firestorm of debate among the upper echelons of the capital. The princess convened her officials in the grand throne room, where the air was thick with tension and uncertainty as they deliberated their next course of action. Ultimately, the march toward the City of Aran was postponed by a full day, a delay that weighed heavily on everyone present. The officials found themselves divided, caught between two stark choices: should they attempt to reclaim the nearby City of Aran from the Beast Kingdom, or should they focus their efforts on retaking the more strategically significant City of Northfall?"But, Your Majesty," one of the officials interjected, his voice rising above the murmurs of the assembly, "as we stand now, we cannot afford to risk an attack on the Northfall Fortress! I have heard reports that the beastmen have fortified their walls and laid even more traps to ensnare us! If we allow this farce to continue, we will be nothing more than lambs led to

    A chill snaked down Ryle's spine. Ethan's suggestion hung in the air, heavy and suffocating, like a shroud woven from despair. To attack City of Aran, a fortress city now bristling with tens of thousands of Beast Kingdom soldiers, felt like a declaration of utter annihilation. Even Lance, their most valiant commander, had fallen captive within its walls.Ryle's brow creased into a deep furrow. He, too, was a commander of the Initiation Army, a man who had tasted the bitterness of defeat and the sting of loss. He couldn't fathom how Ethan, this newly appointed leader, could so blithely propose a course of action that reeked of self-destruction."I cannot, in good conscience, agree with your plan," Ryle stated, his voice laced with a mixture of disbelief and frustration. "As we stand now, attacking Northfall City is a fool's errand, a suicide mission. We are scattered, depleted, and outmatched. We must first rally our remaining forces, regroup along the borders, and then, and only then,

"You shall be the commander of the Vanguard Army!"With a snap of her fingers, the Princess bestowed an insignia upon Ryle's shoulder, its glow of light like a beacon of hope in the face of the looming threat of the Beast Kingdom."I will crush those beastmen for you, Your Highness!" Ryle said, his voice filled with determination and resolve.The Princess smiled, her eyes filled with pride and hope. "We have faith in you, Ryle," she said. "Together, we will defeat the Beast Kingdom and restore peace to our lands."Princess Ladia nodded, a hint of a smile playing on her lips. "I expect a lot from the younger generation, Ryle," she said, her voice laced with both encou

  • Demon's Evolution   The Chosen Commanders

    The Dwarven Kingdom, a land renowned for its glittering wealth, held its breath. The Brightwing Empire’s meager offer, a desperate plea for aid, was all they had to entice the notoriously hard-drinking mercenaries. Even if their weapons were outdated, their reputation for unmatched effectiveness in battle preceded them. Surely, that would be enough.“Your Majesty,” a guard murmured, his voice barely a tremor in the air. “They have arrived.”Princess Ladia, lost in a labyrinth of thought, startled slightly. She had wrestled with the decision for what felt like an eternity, but finally, a solution had emerged. All that remained was to face them, to meet their gaze and offer her hand in this desperate alliance.Viscount Lamiel, a man whose arrogance was only surpassed by his thirst for gold, strode into the royal garden, flanked by a legion of equally boisterous mercenaries. Princess Ladia recognized most of them – the nobles summoned by the crown, their faces etched with a mixture of g

    The scene unfolded with brutal efficiency. Several soldiers, their faces grim and resolute, descended upon Drew and the other soldier, their movements swift and decisive. There was no struggle, no desperate pleas for mercy. They walked away with heads bowed, accepting their fate with a stoic silence that spoke volumes of their resignation.Ryle, his expression a mixture of weariness and amusement, ran a hand through his hair, a sigh escaping his lips. "What a waste of a perfectly good sleep," he muttered, his voice laced with a hint of exasperation. "Young men like myself need our rest, yet everyone seems determined to disrupt my slumber over such trivial matters."His gaze shifted to me, and a playful smile curved his lips. "Allow me to introduce myself," he said, extending a hand towards me. "Ryle Green, third son of Count Green, and as you might be able to tell, the future commander of this very army." He spoke with an air of unwavering confidence, his words carrying the weight of

    Two soldiers from a rival camp, their boots crunching on the gravel path, happened upon the conversation. One soldier, his face contorting with barely suppressed mirth, clamped a hand over his mouth, desperately trying to stifle a chuckle. His companion, sensing the impending eruption, jabbed him in the ribs with an elbow, a silent plea for decorum. But the laughter, like a trapped spring, was too powerful to contain. Tears welled in the soldier's eyes, threatening to spill over as his shoulders shook with silent mirth. Finally, with a strangled cry, he burst into a full-blown guffaw. "Hahahaha! If it's the Young Master leading us! Hahaha! We'll be able to… Pft! Hahaha!"The sound of his uncontrolled laughter echoed through the camp, drawing curious glances from nearby soldiers. Gaston, his face a mask of confusion and irritation, turned to the source of the amusement. "Excuse me, but what's so funny?" he demanded, his voice laced with displeasure.The soldier, still gasping for br

    The unyielding army of the Ice Demon City had been journeying for a considerable number of weeks, traversing a multitude of cities and towns along the way. During our sojourns, we would occasionally restock our supplies, find respite in taverns, and often in the great outdoors, before resuming our arduous trek.Given the unfortunate circumstances, we were informed that the Ice Demon City was the most distant of all cities from the capital. This reality meant that we were among the last to receive the urgent message, compelling us to join the ranks of the other nobles and their armies in the capital.It was in the fourth week of our relentless march that we finally arrived in the grand and magnificent Capital city. The journey had been long and arduous, but our determination never wavered, as we knew our presence was required in these critical times.
