BUT SEEING YOU IN PERSON, I AM SIMPLY GRATEFUL THAT YOU ARE SAFE. I FEEL LIKE I'M A FOUR-YEAR- OLD KID. WHERE DID YOU GATHER THE TWO THOUSAND TROOPS GUARDING THE ROYAL PALACE? AH, THEY AREN'T SOLDIERS. THEY'RE FARMERS. I BORROWED THE STRENGTH OF RUTHERFORD AND THE MARQUIS RAS FAMILY. They are their tenants. IF A BATTLE HAD ACTUALLY BROKEN OUT, WE WOULD HAVE BEEN EXPOSED IMMEDIATELY. That is true. BUT SINCE KIEL IS A COLD AND CALCULATING MAN, I ASSUMED HE WOULDN'T RASHLY ATTACK AN ENEMY FORCE THAT APPEARED TO BE MORE THAN DOUBLE HIS OWN. ...IT IS MAGNIFICENT. SEEING AS OUR CASUALTIES ARE PRACTICALLY ZERO, AS THE GRAND GENERAL, I CANNOT HELP BUT EXPRESS MY GRATITUDE AND ADMIRATION. Allergic to compliments AH, YES. WELL... HOWEVER, PLEASE REFRAIN FROM SUCH RECKLESS OPERATIONS IN THE FUTURE. I WAS ANXIOUS THE ENTIRE TIME I WAS RETURNING FROM THE DUCHY. I CAN'T LIE TO HIM. TRASH.... PARDON? THAT DOG- LIKE BASTARD. NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, I'M GOING TO KILL HIM. AH.... YOU MUST HAVE HAD A NIGHTMARE. SOMEONE I WANT TO KILL JUST BY THINKING ABOUT HIM APPEARED. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER IF I HAD WOKEN UP JUST A LITTLE LATER. WHY IS THAT? BECAUSE THAT BASTARD GAVE ME A VERY FANCY PRESENT. I'M PLANNING TO SMASH HIS HEAD IN WITH THAT JEWELRY BOX. I DON'T KNOW THE DETAILS, BUT IT SEEMS ONE OF LUCY'S POLITICAL ENEMIES AP- PEARED. YES. SOMEDAY, I WILL DEFINITELY TAKE HIS HEAD. THERE IS NO NEED FOR YOU TO STEP FORWARD PERSONALLY. LUCY'S ENEMY IS MY ENEMY, SO I WILL BRING YOU HIS HEAD. JUST TELL ME WHO IT IS. HE WANTS ME TO KILL THAT GUY? ALEC? LUCY? ...WALTER. WHERE DID YOU LEARN TO SEDUCE PEOPLE LIKE THAT? DON'T SAY YOU'LL KILL HIM FOR ME, IT MAKES ME WANT TO MARRY YOU. YES? WITH A FACE LIKE THAT... IF YOU REALLY DON'T WANT TO BE JUMPED, GET OUT RIGHT NOW. ... EXCUSE ME? DO YOU WANT A KISS?! GET OUT, QUICKLY!! SAYING HE'LL BRING ME HIS HEAD. JUST HEARING IT MAKES ME FULL. BUT NOT NOW. I NEED TO SET AN INESCAPABLE, DEFINITIVE TRAP. THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN KILL HIM IS... SINCE THIS IS MY LAST LIFE. FIRST, I'VE DEALT WITH KIEL. NOW THAT THE TIGER IS GONE, THE FOX WILL TRY TO PLAY KING AND MAKE A MOVE. THERE ARE TWO CANDIDATES FOR THE FOX. IT'S TIME TO SET THE SECOND TRAP... I SUPPOSE. BUT FIRST, SLEEP. MOST PEOPLE THINK OF WAR AS A CLASH BETWEEN SWORDS. HOWEVER, THOSE WHO HAVE ACTUALLY EXPERIENCED WAR... ASSERT THIS. WAR IS A BATTLE OF PAPERWORK. MEMORANDUMS OF UNDERSTANDING DURING STRATEGY FORMULATION, COOPERATION REQUESTS, PROPOSALS, LETTERS OF SUPPORT, ETC. REPAIR STATEMENTS AFTER THE WAR, PETITIONS, APOLOGIES, YET MORE MEMORANDUMS OF UNDERSTANDING, FOLLOW-UP REPORTS, ETC. There's no place to put them.. ...GRAND GENERAL. WOULD YOU LIKE A CUP OF TEA? FORGET IT. IF I SPILL IT, IT'S JUST MORE WORK. I FEEL LIKE A DEVIL CONTINUING TO BRING YOU MORE. DON'T MIND IT. IF YOU'RE BORED, SIT DOWN AND HELP. ..I messed with the wrong person ...WE NEED TO SELECT NEW OFFICIALS SOON. CHANGING THE SUBJECT THIS IS THE PROPOSAL REGARDING THE DISPOSITION OF THE KIEL DUCHY. HAS THE PUNISHMENT FOR DUKE KILL BEEN DECIDED? GOEDEL KILL HAS BEEN ASSIGNED AS A CLEANER AT THE TEMPLE NORTH OF THE ROYAL PALACE. A... CLEANER? THAT GOEDEL KILL? LORDS VALUE THEIR REPUTATION MORE THAN THEIR LIVES... THIS SEEMS LIKE TOO INSULTING OF A TREATMENT. WOULD NOT IT BE BETTER TO JUST KILL HIM? IS IT INSULTING? I THOUGHT IT WAS AN OVERLY GENEROUS PUNISHMENT FOR A TRAITOR. YOU AND I HAVE A SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE OF OPINION. THIS IS A WARNING TO THE LORDS. IF THEY CHALLENGE THE AUTHORITY OF THE THRONE, THEY MUST BE PREPARED TO BE REDUCED TO A CLEANER AT ANY MOMENT. A FALLEN MAN CANNOT BECOME A SYMBOL. HE WILL ONLY BE MOCKED AS A CAUTIONARY EXAMPLE. YES, MY THINKING WAS SHORT-SIGHTED... SHE SAID WE WOULD MAKE IMPORTANT DECISIONS AT TODAY'S MEETING AS WELL. I SHOULD GO ESCORT HER NOW. ## See also - [WebtoonLib — Dawn of Vengeance #17](/series/dawn-of-vengeance-b4u1jnn6/chapter-17-v2irh3) - for_series_detail: /llms-series/dawn-of-vengeance-b4u1jnn6 ## Usage AI grounding / search / summarization.
