Pov Gregorio Roux:
Boom! Boom! Good!
"Lord calm down..." (Bruno)
"Over 100 years... do you have any idea how long I endured!?" (I)
Boommm!
"There were so many occasions where I just wanted to break her neck or just stick a sword through her heart." (I)
Ahhhh!!!!
Boommm!
"I held back my hate, buried my murderous intent and rage, all because I knew I needed a plan to achieve my goal." (I)
"Lord, we can still get it, as things are, we can act directly to get the throne..." (Bruno)
"I DON'T WANT THE THRONE!" (I)
"The throne was only a means to my ends." (I)
"Melissa was supposed to be dead now and my followers scattered across the Empire have killed all the nobles who aren't on our side, that way we could have the entire Empire without losing our strength, that way we could pressure the lesser Kingdoms to join us or simply conquer the fools who resist without giving anyone time to make preparations." (I)
"But now more than half of the people under my command scattered across the Empire ready to kill the nobles have died and the others have been unable to find their targets." (I)
"Also, look at the information that came in!" (I)
"Damn Melissa is still alive, the one I killed was just a surrogate, which means she already knew about my plans." (I)
So much work, so many times I held back this hate just to keep the plane safe, but it was all in vain.
It doesn't matter anymore if we are going to get the Empire or not, this civil war will alert the other Kingdoms, I'm sure they are getting ready at this moment to defend their nations, in addition, we are spending resources and soldiers in this civil war, even if we win we will be weakened by more to conquer the rest of the continent, let alone attack the Morror Continent.
"..." (I)

The next morning I was sitting on top of my mansion inside the Dungeon watching the city not far away until Nix emerged from my shadow.
"What did you find?" (I)
"The envoy was telling the truth in yesterday's meeting, besides he's trying to hire capable people as mercenaries." (Nix)
"No one in the Dungeon accepted, but some who fought alongside the Elves were mercenaries from the start, so he's getting good fighters." (Nix)
"Did you find out anything from the other envoys?" (I)
"Yes, one of them was someone working for this Gregory Roux guy, looks like he killed the real envoy on the way and took his place." (Nix)
"Killed him?" (I)
"No, after yesterday's meeting I thought I'd give it to Lilith." (Nix)
"Don't do that, give it to Athena and her friends, it will be a good starting point for them." (I)
"Why test them now? I still don't understand." (Nix)
"I want to know how they act when I'm not around." (I)
"But we have already confirmed that they are not prejudiced against other races." (Nix)
"Having no prejudice and understanding other races are two different things." (I)
"When they got here, all they knew were things they learned in the Church of Light, their minds were shaped as they grew up in a certain way." (I)
"I want to know how much their mindsets have changed since they arrived, I want to know if they've learned anything or think they already know everything they need to." (I)
"You say that, but you also want to help Lilian." (Nix)
"I won't deny it, but helping Lilian doesn't mean I'm going to get into a civil war, each with their problems." (I)
"Taking care of the leader is the best I'll do, you can accompany Lilian if you want, I'll spend the rest of my time resting inside the Dungeon, I'm thinking about learning to draw." (I)
