Edgar Fromware is an arrogant man and treats his inhabitants like toys.

Without feeling any guilt about it, rather, take the attitude that it is normal.

For him, the inhabitants are only tools to satisfy their own pleasures.

He's such an Edgar, but he's not a fool.

The head spins fast and you can see things from a wide perspective.

Therefore, he understood that his actions would buy the disgust of the inhabitants.

Therefore, he took the Knights in and let them escape the auditing hand.

However, Edgar is not an optimistic man enough to be relieved just to hit one hand.

Something called unexpected trouble doesn't know when or when it will strike.

For that time, Edgar prepared his own pawn.

Let the people hold the money, let them look for the trends of their people, and let them report.

Prepare an inside man for the Knights to keep an eye on the traitors if they don't show up.

I have ensured my own safety in various ways.

That was the time.

It was only after Edgar's report that the knights who were dyeing their hands illegally were caught together.

"Damn!!!

Edgar, who received the report, slammed the glass he had in his hand on the floor.

The glass breaks and the wine stains the carpet.

"You said the knight was arrested!? Plus, all!? It's impossible. Ugh, what are they doing!

"Hih."

A girl in the same room saw a rough Edgar, shaking her shoulders and frightening her.

In response to that trick, Edgar's gaze captures the girl.

"... what are you looking at"

"Huh..."

"I hear what you're looking at!?

"Wow, I don't... ugh!?

Edgar hits the girl in the cheek.

Unable to cope with the sudden, the girl fell on the floor.

"Yes... there he is..."

A broken glass hurts the girl's skin.

But never mind, Edgar kicked the girl.

Kick it over and over again to distract the frustration.

The girl can't do anything.

Just like waiting for the storm to pass, I just have to round my body and endure.

Hard.

Painful.

Ouch.

The girl repeated in a small voice with tears, sorry......

Edgar was satisfied to see such a girl.

I apologize desperately for myself being equal to God.

That is the attitude that the inhabitants are supposed to take.

Looking at the girl, Edgar lowered his drinks slightly.

So as I lost interest in the girl, I sit in a chair.

"Well, what is it..."

A little more, I'd like to play with the girl, but I have to think about the future.

Edgar looks out the window and thinks about what's to come.

"All the knights connected to us will be caught... is that possible?

For starters, Edgar doubts the intermediary's report.

That's something I can't help.

The knights connected in the back range from 90%.

The other 10% beat 90%?

It's impossible to think normally.

I haven't heard of those fools who fanatically list justice with so much power.

Gilley, the Knights Commander, is a mindless man, but he has a lot of strength.

Is it possible to lose to an overwhelming minority of opponents?

That's how Edgar organizes information in his head...

Lose as much and draw conclusions.

"... you can't be optimistic here. Again, you should see the report as correct. I just don't think it's possible, on the contrary, it's getting more authentic"

Edgar thought back about Stella.

I have spoken lightly before when I visited the Knights Branch.

The accommodation didn't work and I believe the knight should be right, from Edgar's point of view, she was a stupid woman.

What if that stellar took real power of the Knights?

First of all, we will definitely embark on our own audit.

This hall has a lot to show people.

It's not just my hobby.

Embezzlement of my father, proof of misuse of funds, etc.

In the eyes of the Knights, it would be impossible to retain its present status.

That's all I thought about, Edgar broke off that it couldn't be.

I am a chosen person.

Unlike a people who have nothing.

I don't care how you treat people.

Because it belongs to me.

Yet it is strange to be cut off as evil and deprived of everything.

It must not happen.

Edgar, for real, had thought of such things from the bottom of his heart.

"The simple thing is to destroy the evidence..."

Edgar recalled his collection.

We've been collecting them for years.

It's a shame to throw that away.

And...

"... Ugh..."

I see the girl as chilling as she stays down.

By chance, the most (...) strong (...) species I could get (...).

Edgar, a human being, treats what is said to be the most powerful species like a toy.

I couldn't wait to have the pleasure.

Would you be able to let this go?

I can't, Edgar decided.

This toy is something else you can't change.

If you lose it now, you'll never get it again.

"Besides... it would be impossible to think realistically and hide all the evidence. Even if you turn off the toys, it's hard to dispose of everything like there was nothing. The problems my father is involved in are all the more so."

Evidence cannot be disposed of.

Then get caught quietly?

Impossible!

Edgar broke off strongly in his heart.

"This is me going down to normal people, etc... I can't admit that. So... do we have to do this?

Edgar made up his mind to set things up with the Knights.

I didn't abandon myself.

It was a conclusion after much thought.

The current Knights are centered on Stella.

Then all you have to do is get rid of Stella and take on the Gilley again.

Or, if you obey yourself, another human being.

Even if you set things up with the Knights, if you can hold them in, it won't matter later.

In short, you just have to win.

Luckily, I'm hiring private soldiers in case this happens.

That number extends to 100.

In addition, some mercenaries were comparable to B-rank adventurers.

Edgar is in his head, organizing and arranging those elements...... laughing.

"Kuku...... yes. That's fine. Fools who defy me, you just have to plead not guilty. What, isn't that a simple story? You don't have to get lost. I don't know about the Knights, but if you're going to be my enemy, I'm going to crush you!

"... fulfill it, would it work that well?

"Huh!?

Suddenly, a man's voice sounded.

It's not Edgar's, and of course, it's not the girl's.

If you noticed, there was a shadow by the window.

I'm wearing a deep robe, and I can't see my face.

However, he was expected to be a man due to his shape and back length.

"Who...?

Edgar, surprised, did not put the upset on the table and asked quietly.

He's a bona fide collaborator.

"What?

"I hear you set things up with the Knights... but will things carry what you think? No, it won't work. Your plan will fail."

Edgar frowns, but clamps it down.

Strange, there was such a power of voice that the man's words would convince him.

For one thing, let's just ask.

Deciding so, Edgar listens to the man.

"The only reason I'm so sure is because I know a certain man who's working with the Knights."

"Some guy?

"Rain Shroud. Don't you remember? I was the man who poked you in the square the other day."

"... Oh, that's him"

Remembering an abominable memory, Edgar pounded his tongue.

"This defies me, you mean the fool? After all, you didn't seem to catch the Gilley guy... but you're saying he's cooperating with the Knights? Abominable everywhere...... but what's wrong with that? Where just one fool has joined us, nothing will change"

"Rayne is a beast taster, and he uses the most powerful species."

"What?

It was unlistenable information.

Edgar eats up on men's stories.

"Is that true?

"It's solid information."

"That's not good... that's not good. Not good, not good... there's no way we can deal with the most powerful species. Damn, how could this happen!

"You don't have to panic. I told you I'd give you a hand.

"... any ideas?

"Here you go."

Edgar receives a ring from a man.

Gems of disastrous colour are worn.

"It's a magic item that seals the magic that leads to the death of the subject. You should use this and finish Rain."

"Get a man? Isn't it the most powerful species that's going to kill you?

"There is not only one but two of the most powerful species. You can only use the ring once. So aim for Rain, the Lord. If he falls, his contract will be cancelled, and the strongest species will have no more reason to antagonize you, and they will leave."

"I see... ok, let's do that"

"It's a wise decision."

"But why are you doing this..."

I went on to try to talk to him, and for a moment, in a gap that took my eyes off, the man was gone.

Was it a dream?

Suddenly, Edgar thinks so, but the ring was on hand.

"... okay. If we can get rid of the disturbers now, we can use them, even if they're Reapers."

Edgar gripped the ring with a dark grin.

That's why I couldn't notice.

to the slight leakage of black moya from the ring.

That Moya takes the shape of a beast and is about to be devoured by Edgar, the Lord.
