“You all can rest; my knight will not do anything.” I smiled.

"Roland, feel free to entrust your noble warhorse to the capable hands of the butler. I have every confidence that he will provide it with the utmost care," I assured him, casting a knowing glance in the butler's direction.

"Yeah, of course," stammered the butler, eager to prove his competence.

With a nod from Roland, the reins of his majestic warhorse were handed over to a servant, and he fell into step behind me, still clad in his formidable armor and clutching his iron gauntlets tightly.

I neglected to stow the ornamental sword fastened to my belt. Despite its impressive appearance, it was merely a decorative piece.

Now that I've honed my skill in wi

    As they pondered their recent conversation, an eerie chill descended upon the lord's hall, shrouding it in an unsettling silence."I believe Count David has extended the dinner invitation to more guests. It seems it's time to gather around the table," a peaceful voice interjected, diffusing the tension in the air.Without glancing at the nobles, I reassured Roland with a simple command, "Relax."Roland shot a final icy look at the nobles before turning his gaze elsewhere. His demeanour remained frigid as he took a seat without uttering a single word.This was the inaugural instance of witnessing Roland's uncharacteristic behaviour. Perhaps he simply couldn't stomach the nobles' disparaging remarks about me. I could discern a sinister glimmer of energy emanating from Roland. While imperceptible to others, if Roland's emotions continue to spiral, he might unleash his demonic energy and disrupt everything.I had to soothe his anger, but the truth is, I was the one fuming the most in tha

    "300 shiny gold coins." I nearly lost my cool as I jacked up the price of the item by a whopping 30000 per cent."Excellent," Count David murmured, his gaze fixed on the salt.Upon hearing my words, the vassal nobles on both sides of David erupted in astonishment. They were not oblivious to the value of what they beheld. If this modest vessel alone was valued at 300 gold coins, then this was a salt that even they, with their noble status, could not easily obtain. It was a salt reserved for the palates of only the most esteemed nobles.Even though the nobles held prestigious titles like barons and viscounts, they could barely scrape together enough coins to afford a single jar of salt. Yet, even a pinch of that precious seas

    In the grand dining hall, the flickering candles cast a soft glow on the walls, their dim light dancing in the gentle breeze seeping through the cracks in the door. The remnants of a lavish feast still adorned the table, a testament to the indulgent evening that had transpired.The butler stood nervously by, his brow glistening with a sheen of anxiety. His gaze was fixed on his master, Count David, his head bowed in deference. In that moment, he knew that maintaining an air of utmost humility and respect was imperative.In truth, not a soul in the room spared a moment for the humble butler. Before Count David, I presented the jar of shimmering blue salt, placing it delicately on the table.Count David gazed at the jar, the bluish substance shimmering under the soft glow of the dim light. It was no ordinary salt; it held an enchanting, otherworldly quality, a rare and coveted seasoning fit for the elite nobility.And this salt had another purpose as well. It was a favorite among the

    I recall encountering the second princess, who was accompanied by a striking individual who could be likened to a demi-saint. Inquiring about the nature of demi-saints, I feigned interest and addressed Count David.“What are demi-saints?""Hey, so you've hit the A-rank, huh?" Count David inquired, seizing the chance to confirm his nephew's recent achievement.If Riel had truly ascended to the A-rank, he would pose an even greater danger than David had anticipated. Riel would be just one level below the brilliant minds of the capital, the offspring of dukes, and the royal clans."I've ascended to the esteemed A-rank and have just established my inaugural circle," I declared, weaving a tale of half-truths and half-deception. While I did hold the A-rank status, my circle was not the first, but rather the 6th."Ah, so you've discovered the multitude of orbits encircling your mana circle," Count David remarked, attempting to conceal his surprise with a composed demeanour.I noticed his imm

    "Is it possible that a concealed salt reserve exists somewhere in the depths of the Endless Forest?""It seems to be the most logical conclusion, My Lord."In a timid tone, Count David inquired, "We have been stationed in this town for over a decade now.""Even though Ice Demon City is quite distant, we still conduct surveillance in that region every six months.""How is it possible?" Count David pondered aloud. "Thousands of people have passed through the Endless Forest, yet the salt mine remains elusive."The vassal knights looked at each other, their expressions grave and perplexed. "We do not know, my lord," they replied.Count David tried to reassure them, his tone remaining

    I observed the vassal nobles, their envious glances directed towards me. Their covetous stares at Roland's weapons and armor suggested a potential theft upon my departure from the city.Fortunately, Count David had adopted the habit of arriving early at the hall, possibly due to his genuine interest in meeting me this time.With his arrival, the breakfast officially commenced, affording me the opportunity to finally meet his wife and childrenOne son and one daughter graced the gathering, resembling nothing short of divine children. Their appearance spoke volumes of the esteemed Whitepalace lineage, further enhanced by the undeniable beauty of Count David's wife. Their union had indeed brought little angels into the world.The sight of these children evoked memories of my own younger sister and brother. It had been quite a while since I last saw them, as both had ventured off to the academy."Morning, everyone," Count David greeted."Morning, Lord," came the unified response."Good mo

    "I appreciate your concern, Count David." I politely declined his offer to send forces to my city. While I wasn't intimidated by his men, their presence would demand a valid reason for potential conflict, which I wanted to avoid as another headache.I didn't fear his men or him, but their arrival would mean dealing with an unnecessary problem. There was a need to handle this situation carefully to prevent any escalation without a valid cause for conflict.Count David appeared disappointed, yet it wasn't unexpected. His initial impression of Riel suggested a keen intelligence. Clearly, someone as astute as Riel wouldn't entertain the idea of allowing another party's forces into his city, particularly if aware that they belonged to an adversary.Count David nodded approvingly. "You're prioritizing safety, a wise choice in these uncertain times. The Empire's stability is wavering, so gathering strength and power should be your focus.""Absolutely," I agreed, nodding with a grateful smile

    "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

  • Demon's Evolution   Indecisive

    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,

    "Ryle Green, step forward!" the Royal advisor said, seeing Ryle was in a daze.Ryle coughed and stepped forward, his heart pounding with excitement as he knelt before the Princess."Ryle Green, you are hereby granted authority over fifty thousand soldiers," the Princess said, her voice like a melody that soothed the soul. "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

  • Demon's Evolution   Who will be the Commanders?

    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. I had already surmised that the majority of the other nobles and their forces would have already amassed in the capital, readying themse
