Weiss Owl.

Giselotte was well aware of the name. The researchers were excited by the unorthodox yet compelling content of every paper that he sent to the conference. However, he’s true identity is unknown. There is more to find out than the Black Warrior, but so far there is nothing to trace it back to him.

Agos is well aware of this and said that it will take some time to uncover Weiss Owl’s true identity.

”But, this person is well versed in ancient magic, so it’s not surprising that he is a friend of Professor Lucianell, the leading researcher in his field. Or it is possible that the professor is Weiss Owl. She seems to be a particularly unusual woman.”

“Then, we’ll start with Lucianell. Bring her to me. Bring her to me now!”

“It’s easy to invite her in. She’s a typical researcher who’s willing to give up anything for research.”

“But,” said Agos, standing up and taking a step back, “does he miss the fact that she is an expert in ancient magic?”

“How could he possibly overlook her mastery of ancient magic?”

“You think this guy has already made contact?”

“I don’t know. But, since it’s a possibility, if we invite her in without any hesitation—”

“They will sense that I am working to disarm the spell…”

The black warrior would not be silent if that happened. He didn’t say, ‘Don’t disarm the magic. However, if a situation arose where that confidence was shattered, there was a good chance that it would reappear.

“What will you do?”

“This is another one that I intend to take with me in the chaos of the revolution.”

Agos cowered his shoulders and laughed bitterly, his anxiety growing.

”If that man is in contact with Lucianell, then it’s possible that he’s in Royal Capital, right? Then he’ll come and interfere with the revolution.”

Her son Rias had not reported to Giselotte that he had met the Black Warrior. So, she doesn’t know yet. So, she does not know that the Black Warrior is already in the Royal Capital.

“Of course we have taken that into consideration. There is only one, no matter how strong he is. Isn’t it up to us to overcome the power of the individual? One body cannot solve more than one problem at a time.”

Agos said calmly.

“It’s a big gamble to begin with. I couldn’t back out now.”

“Alright. I’m not going to be able to get out of it. If you need my help, I will use it as much as I can.”

I threw away my pride five years ago.

“Diversion? Or is that a decoy? I’ll do anything for you.”

“This is reassuring. However, I must ask the Queen to act as ‘mediator’.”

“That’s just an afterthought, isn’t it?”

“No. Showing up on the front lines of the revolution might make you look guilty. The Queen has nothing to do with the revolution. She must promote reconciliation with the aristocrats in order to rebuild a country that has lost its King and his successor. And, that is why—”

Giselotte’s eyes widened at Agos’ next words.

“You have come to this place today.”

“You’re not going to start a revolution today, are you?”

“Yes, your majesty. As I told you earlier, everything is in place.”

Agos bowed and announced.

“This evening, the heavyweights of the aristocracy are scheduled to meet with the King in secret at the royal palace. In order to force the King to abdicate. Of course, the King will not agree to this, and it’s a farce that will break down.”

“I didn’t hear about it.”

“I don’t want the King to be suspicious of our intentions. I’ve informed the bigwigs that the revolution will take place after the negotiations break down, but it will begin in the middle of that.”

There, he will bury the king and the aristocracy’s heavyweights in a roundup.

“I’ll also cause simultaneous disturbances in the academy and in the capital. We’ll also send a separate team to the academy to capture Professor Lucianell.”

“What’s your response to the Black Warrior?”

“If he’s going to come out, it’s going to be in connection with Lord Zenphis. In other words, it will be around Hart Zenphis, who attends the academy. We’ve already confirmed that he’s at the school today. In addition to securing the professor, we’re sending in a squad of disposable…”

“That buys you time. However, what if that man shows up in the palace or elsewhere?”

“No problem. No problem. The King’s murder will be swiftly carried out as soon as the revolution begins. We won’t be able to get there in time even if we sense something is wrong with the palace.”

“So,” said Agoth, snapping his fingers.

“The Queen is welcome to come and make herself at home.”

The maid brought a bottle of wine and placed it on the low table. Her white hair, brown skin and red eyes still seemed alien.

“You may feel the commotion in the Royal Capital and go, but do not hurry.”

“So, we just have to pretend that we’re dealing with an unexpected situation?”

“Yes, your majesty. If you would evacuate the population and so forth, the Black Warrior will not suspect the Queen of being involved. Now, if you’ll excuse me.”

With a profound bow, Agos left the room with his maidservant in tow – and left the room. They left the high-class inn and entered a back alley. The white-haired maidservant leads the way. Agos behind her called out to her.

”Thank you, Mercumenes-sama, for your help earlier. I was about to inadvertently tell the Queen about that thing. Now was not the time to raise strange expectations, was it?’’

“Good. If you understand.”

The maidservant – Mercumenes returned bluntly without looking back. When there was no sign of people at all, she stopped and turned her red eyes to Agos.

“I’m leaving the capital as planned. From now on, I leave it to you.”

“Yes, milady. I apologize for making you mimic my lady-in-waiting for so long.”

“That’s good. It was difficult for a little girl like me to get around in high society. You have done well.”

“Thank you for your kind words. May I ask one thing, Mercumenes-sama?”

“I forgive you. Tell me what you’re thinking about.”

Agos straightened up and asked, “What if this Black Warrior shows up?”

“When this Black Warrior appears…”

“Kill him. Unnecessary.”

(TlNote: I would love to change every Black Warrior to Schwarz Krieger but it was only used when he was introducing himself to new characters aka villains so if its old villain Black Warrior is still used)

Mercumenes told him without losing her expression.

”But, when it comes to controlling ancient magic, that ability is rare. Is it a person who is returning to the demon race or a demon race? Either way, it’s worthwhile.”

“Whether it’s humans or demons, we can use the lower species to our advantage. And, to use them as well. But, if this ancient magic, the work of the gods, is to be used by a lowly species, then it cannot be overlooked. It’s not up to you to find them. Find them and kill them.”

“And what if he is our people, the Fiend?”

“And if there is, what is the point? If he is a demon, then he has no intentions of approaching the cult that bears the name of Lucifer. This can only hinder our long cherished wish, the resurrection of the Demon God.”

The red eyes shot up and Agos bowed his head deeply.

”I beg your pardon. I am ashamed of my shallowness.”

“Good. You’re not like me, a pure-blooded creature born of a demon. Stop being a man…. for a while. It’ll take some time to wipe out the selfishness in human flesh and blood. I’ll throw away the individual to serve the demon gods. I want you to be able to paint over it.”

“I’ll keep that in mind.”

“I’m counting on it.”

Huge bat-like wings sprouted on Mercumenes’ back.

One flapped its wings with a bang. The girl’s body floated up over the tall building with just that. No fuss. Because the magical effect of swapping the consciousness of others makes her look like a bird.

Mercumenes didn’t even look down and disappeared behind the building.

(Hmph. A doll, that’s a big deal.)

Agos is poisoned inwardly. Her abilities are comparable to those of the former Demon King. Individually, she overwhelmed Agos. However, Agos looked down on her as nothing more than a puppet made for the resurrection of the Demon God.

(I’m not. I’m a being who lived as a human being and gained the power of a demon god and sublimated from a human being.)

I never doubted that they would be more useful to the demon gods because of their flexible thinking and ability to act based on that than a genuine witch who could only follow orders.

I’m sure that he will eventually surpass her in terms of ability, and if the resurrection of the demon gods is accomplished, he intends to replace her.

“I’ll be used for now. First of all, let’s celebrate the resurrection of the Demon God with the blood of the people of the city. Hahahahahahahaha!”

Agos walks off with a big smile. The time of the revolution is just around the corner – the time of the revolution is fast approaching.
