The situation in the city finally calmed down when the daughter of duke Browne was forced to leave.
(How could I let him persuade me to arrange her engagement with my son Leo?)
But it turned quite well. Duke Browne now owes me a favor and can't escape this kingdom. And that commoner girl can be easily manipulated into what ever task I create for her. Just fake hope to become related to my family is enough to fully control her and I can use her power not just against demons.
(Hahaha!)
But now I have to look around for another candidate for the future queen.
(What faction is the richest?)
Three months passed from the time that girl left. I am sitting in the throne room, awaiting arrival of my high priest, who announced his wish for an audience.
The door opened and he entered the room.
„Your highness, I come to you with terrible news."
„Come closer."
„What news are you talking about?"
„I got a divine revelation, that a new demon lord awakened in their territory."
„What?! Why now?"
(Ahh.... just when things started going the right way.)
„Anything else?"
„I also received a prophecy. According to it, several heroes were already born into this world between 18 to 20 years ago."
„Those are terrible news indeed..."
(If other kingdoms also own subjects strong as Kathy, it would be hard to wage war against them.)
„... but there is still hope. Inform also other kings and search for these heroes... everyone, who is from 18 to 20 years old must be examined. And bring them then to me. As the king, who found the truth first, they must be under my control!"
„As you order, my king."
The man left and I have to think about many issues again. This information foils my plans, but nothing is lost yet. If our hero is the one, who kills this demon lord, other kingdoms will owe me as well.
(Hahahaha!)
Two months passed and I received another report from one of my knights.
„Your highness, 3 people with high enough spiritual power were found... one of them in each kingdom."
„Thanks. Bring them here, they need to be trained together. And also prepare suitable weapons for them, but let them choose their favorites themselves."
„As you order, your highness."
