~The Imperial Capital~

"Tell all citizens! The current administration has been dismantled! The leaders, the vassal armies of the five regent houses, and those managing the four great farms shall be arrested immediately! I promise to distribute the evil blood to all citizens and that no one will ever suffer from hunger or degeneration ever again!" Lewis announced as many started cheering.

"And one more thing. We'll take this opportunity to abolish all farms." He added.

"What?!" Many gasped.

"Abolish the farms?!"

"All of them?!"

"But..."

"Does that mean..."

"That we won't be able to eat humans anymore...?"

"Exactly." Lewis nodded.

"But, why...?"

"This was decided in the promise 1000 years ago. "That we'll segregate our worlds and we won't hunt each other". But we continued to eat humans despite it. That is where everything got distorted. Farms shouldn't exist. Because of them, this reign continued. They held control over you by how they distributed human meat, manipulating your lives and intelligence." Lewis explained.

"That's true..."

"Hey...If we can have the evil blood, we don't need to eat humans."

"Yeah. We were afraid that we'd degenerate if we didn't eat humans until now, but..."

"But it's human meat. If it were other meat..."

"Yeah, I want to eat human meat."

"Human meat is special."

"If we allow the farms to exist...we may be able to eat human meat, but someone could use the farms to control us again."

"I don't want that."

"Me neither."

"It's more natural to have no farms."

"I guess it's okay. It's only human meat."

"Damn it!"

"We will finally be free. We won't repeat the same mistakes and tragedy ever again." Lewis said.

"YES, YOUR HIGHNESS! LET'S GET RID OF THE FARMS!"

"We don't need farms!"

"Let's change!"

"Abolish the farms!"

"Horray for the new era!"

"Long live King Lewis!"

"No, I'm not going to become king." Lewis interrupted.

"Huh?"

"What?!"

"Buy why, your highness?!"

"I'm part of the old system. I am also guilty of looking the other way during the old administration's reign." The demon spoke.

'Besides, I died at that hunting ground. My core was destroyed then. I was dead for sure. I never thought I'd revive. I had no idea that I also had two cores. I lost to humans. That is why I had resolved to decay in an unknown village.'

"I'm not worthy of becoming king. What the new world needs is a new monarch. I believe Mujika here is fit to be that monarch." He announced.

"Huh?" Mujika gasped.
