Still in one of the rooms in the Duke of San Quentine's residence, the three Dukes seed to be discussing sothing.
"By the way, Lord Remy, may I ask you sothing? But it has nothing to do with our plans," said Duke Jas.
"What do you want to ask, Lord Jas?" asked Duke Remy.
"It's about your daughter, Violetta, or perhaps your forr daughter. I heard she just returned from the Holy Kingdom. With her return to the Holy Kingdom, doesn't that an she's no longer a Holy Knight and has chosen to accept Queen Kayana's offer to beco commander of the knights guarding San Fulgen Akademiya?" asked Duke Jas.
"Violetta visited here this morning, but she imdiately left for the capital. I didn't speak to her, so I don't know if she's renounced her Holy Knighthood or not. But with her heading to the capital, it seems she's agreed to Queen Kayana's offer," said Duke Remy.
"If she becos the commander of the knights guarding San Fulgen Academy, it will likely be difficult to attack the academy in the future," said Duke Jas.
"Yes, but we had no plans to attack the academy from the start," said Duke Remy.
"I know that. But when I was talking about attacking the academy, I thought about the mysterious group that attacked the academy before. Why don't we try contacting them? We could propose cooperation with them to strengthen our forces," said Duke Jas.
"No one can track their whereabouts, so we can't contact them either. Furthermore, it seems they have different goals than us. If we cooperate with them, there's a chance they'll hinder our plans," said Duke Remy.
"Well, you have a point," said Duke Jas.
"Speaking of which, Lord Remy. Earlier, when you and Lord Jas were talking about Violetta, sothing struck . Does Violetta have an Elf heart too?" asked Duke Darwin.
"No, Violetta doesn't have an Elf heart in her body. After we started this 'subject' experint, I didn't even think about giving Violetta an Elf heart because even without it, she was already strong, well, even though she could beco very strong if I gave her an Elf heart. But I think my decision was right not to give her an Elf heart because, as you know, my relationship with Violetta is bad. If she had received an Elf heart before and our relationship had deteriorated like this, maybe I would have had to take her Elf heart even if it ant killing her. Because I don't need a 'subject' who doesn't obey ," said Duke Remy.
"Then does she also know about our plan?" asked Duke Jas.
"No, I didn't tell her about our plan, nor did I even tell her about the experints I was conducting. Since she wasn't a 'subject,' I didn't need to tell her about it. I'm grateful I didn't tell her after knowing our relationship would be like this. But well, even if she knew about my experint and our plan, I doubt she would spill the beans, as my wife and Alia were also involved in what I was doing. Although Violetta and I have a very bad relationship, Violetta is still on good terms with her mother and Alia. If she spilled the beans, it would put her mother and Alia in danger," said Duke Remy.
"I see, well, it's good that she didn't spill the beans," said Duke Jas.
"Then what about your 'that' experint? Are the results of 'that' experint ready to be used, since you said 'that' experint was your trump card in making our plan a success?" said Duke Darwin.
"The experint is complete. I've also tested the results, and they were successful. This way, we can use them to carry out our plan to assassinate Queen Kayana and the entire San Lucia family," said Duke Remy.
"Wow, that's exciting news. I can't wait to see the results," said Duke Darwin.
"I apologize to you both for not being able to show you the results. This is to prevent information leaks. But rest assured, I assure you that the results of this experint are the best, surpassing those of the 'subjects'. You just have to wait for the execution of this experint when we kill Queen Kayana and the entire San Lucia family," said Duke Remy.
"I see. It's a sha I couldn't see what the experint was. But I trust you, Lord Remy. You didn't tell more details about the 'subjects' experint before, but after it succeeded, the results were excellent. So even if you decide to hide the current experint, I have no problem with that. I will wait for the results of the experint to be executed," said Duke Darwin.
"I trust you too, Lord Remy," said Duke Jas.
"Thank you for trusting , both of you," said Duke Remy.
*Knock *Knock *Knock
Suddenly, a knock was heard outside the room where the three of them were discussing.
"Co in," said Duke Remy.
Then the door opened, and a maid entered carrying three cups of tea and so snacks.
"I apologize for interrupting your eting, Lord Duke. I ca here to bring you the drinks and food you requested earlier," said the waiter.
"Thank you, please serve them to the table," said Duke Remy.
"Roger, Lord Duke," said the waiter.
The waiter walked to the table where they were discussing and served them. But there was sothing strange about the waiter's deanor. She seed stiff as she served them. Her footsteps were also strange as she walked to the table where the Dukes were sitting. Furthermore, the waiter was expressionless, and even her eyes looked like those of a dead person.
After serving the food and drinks, the waiter walked toward the door with her strange steps.
"Then, if you'll excuse , Lord Duke. Please call if you need anything else," said the waiter.
"Yes," said Duke Remy.
Then the waiter left the room.
"You two, please have so tea. You must be thirsty, right? We've been talking so much," said Duke Remy.
"Okay, so I'll have so tea," said Duke Darwin.
"Please," said Duke Remy.
Duke Darwin took the cup in front of him, as did Duke Jas. They both drank the tea. Watching the two Dukes drink the tea, Duke Remy suddenly smiled.

That afternoon at the Marquess of Rovinj's residence.
Marquess Marcelo and Javier were in one of the rooms. It seed Javier had returned from San Fulgen Akademiya.
"It's fortunate that Lord Duke didn't take your Elven heart after learning that you had failed a second ti. You should be grateful, Javier," said Marquess Marcelo.
"Yes. Now please give lots of slaves, father. I'm very upset right now," said Javier.
"*Haaaahhh, very well. It's better for you to kill lots of slaves than to destroy this residence. Just wait in the basent, I'll imdiately prepare the slave you requested," said Marquess Marcelo.
"Ok," said Javier.
Marquess Marcelo then left Javier. After Marquess Marcelo left, Javier looked annoyed and began destroying several items in the room.
"Rid Archie!!!! You bastard, you've embarrassed again. I'll make sure to burn you to dust if we et again," Javier said.

At the sa ti, at San Fulgen Academy.
In the headmaster's office, Miss Karina was talking to soone through a communication crystal.
"So Javier attacked Rid when he t him, but Rid easily defeated him?" asked the person on the communication crystal.
"Yes, sis," said Miss Karina.
Miss Karina addressed the person as 'sis' which ant the person speaking to Karina was Queen Kayana.
"It seems he still holds a grudge against Rid for being defeated by Rid last year, or perhaps there's a request to kill Rid," said Queen Kayana.
"A request to kill Rid, huh? That's certainly a possibility, especially since he's dating Irene. He was also about to be killed by so of Duke San Minerva's knights before, but fortunately, he survived," said Miss Karina.
"I don't know why Duke San Minerva wanted to kill Rid. Even if I asked him directly, he would imdiately deny it. It's a sha we don't have evidence and information about that," said Queen Kayana.
"Yes, you're right," said Miss Karina.
Then suddenly their conversation fell silent.
"Wait a minute, I have a very good plan," said Queen Kayana.
"What plan is it?" asked Miss Karina.
"What if we use Rid to trap the people who want to kill him? Who knows, we might get other information from those people, perhaps one about the 'subjects,'" said Queen Kayana.
"Stop using one of my students as a tool in your plans, sis," said Miss Karina.
"What's the harm? You don't need to worry, Rid can handle it," said Queen Kayana.
"Haaaah, okay. So, what plan do you have in mind using Rid?" asked Miss Karina.

Sowhere far from the kingdom of San Fulgen.
The place was a vast expanse of sand, teeming with monsters. anwhile, a group of humans and demi-humans were traversing the area in horse-drawn carriages. They seed familiar with the area, as they were navigating through areas devoid of monsters.
"We've finally arrived at the Regnum Desert. How long has it been since we left the kingdom of San Fulgen? It seems like over a month, it's been a very long journey," said Feline.
Feline was seen lying in one of the carriages in the group.
"That's because you asked to stop for a few days every ti we visited other kingdoms and countries on our way here. If you hadn't asked, our journey would have been faster," said Fee.
Fee was disguised in human form. Feline and Fee were not the only ones in the group; Ariu was also present. Even Ludmila was seen, seemingly in good condition after being defeated by Rid.
"Well, what can we do? After all, we've finally arrived at the Regnum Desert. Now, let's head to the main base. We need to et the 'Lord' in person," said Feline.
