With the issue of Michael dealt with, Silva could proceed with his ns. He took his seat on the throne and spoke to them all.


    "The kingdom will be enemies with me at first, and so that would mean you all will have to choose one side, either for me or against me.


    But I''ll let you know this: the kingdom will never be able to defeat us, not even in their wildest dreams, so the best choice is for all of you to join me.


    I have decided that the day we will announce our rise will be on the day of the elitepetition, so we will return to the academy for a bit," Silva said.


    He got up from his throne and walked down.


    "Family and friends alike, if you have someone you hold dear and want them safe, bring them here immediately after the announcement on that day.


    I will win the entirepetition, and that will give me enough attention and fame to make my move. Let''s take over this whole ce," Silva said.


    ---


    After the main discussion, everyone was amodated, and food was made avable without limit. Rooms were prepared as they would be staying here for a bit.


    Silva went to look for Sage and his mom; the Duke had died, and he had some things to discuss with them.


    When he found both of them, he took them to a separate lounge, and they began talking.


    "Mom, Sage, after what I am about to do, you can no longer be the nobles of the kingdom you used to be. You were supposed to receive the family name since Terror died.


    Now you may not be able to get that name, and you may bebeled an enemy to humanity if we aren''t careful," Silva said.


    "You''re worried about that, bro? I, for one, will follow you because you are the perfect leader, and I want to get stronger," Sage said.


    "My kids are the most important thing to me now. If both of you are staying here, then I don''t need the status or nobility. After all, when you establish your country, I will be hailed as the mother of the king," his mother said with a smile.


    "Phew, thank God. Then, Mom, I''d like you to meet with Drake and start drafting out our current wealth and resources.


    You have good knowledge of running things since you were noble, so I''d like you to help with that," Silva said.


    "I will do my best to help you, son," she said with an even brighter smile.


    "What about me? What will I be doing?" Sage asked.


    "Well, we will be returning to the academy soon, but I want you and the others to start talking about saving every beastman, fairy, elf, and other races that have been sold to the kingdom.


    They deserve their freedom and a ce they can call their home, and this will be the ce, so we will gather them," Silva said.


    "That''s quite arge venture; we need to know where all of them are to be able to save them all," Sage said.


    "Yes, indeed. That''s why I have two A-ranked adventurers who have been gathering information.


    I have also created a veryrge mercenary group that has been working while secretly collecting the information that we need.


    When we are ready, we will do what we need to do. Oh, and there is also an organization called the Dark des; I''m sure you may have heard about them.


    They have a lot ofworks to buy ves and have been keeping ves for a very long time to use for their experiments.


    I have gained information about all their brokers and business partners, the locations used to hide each and every ve they have bought, and much more that will prove to be useful," Silva exined.


    "Hmm, it seems you have thought about most of it. We can easily finalize thest details and have everything done.


    But for this, we will need a massive force throughout the kingdom to aplish what we need to do," Sage pointed out.


    "Indeed, and that''s why the hob goblins, orcs of thebyrinth, and other races have been gathered and are getting trained. They have been getting stronger and better, and they will be ready for the task," Silva exined.


    "I see. Then there is nothing much to talk about; we should round up and head to the academy," Sage said.


    "Yes, I just need to finish some things," Silva said and left the room. He found Drake, Lily, Jade, and Elsa, and then they followed him.


    "The number of beasts created by thebyrinth has always been the same, right?" Silva asked.


    "Yes, father, the number doesn''t change too much; it is always around the same amount," Elsa said.


    "Yes, but you have all noticed that thebyrinth keeps making races like goblins and orcs, but we can''t keep treating them as monsters; they are our brothers now.


    The kingdom we will establish is going to be a home to them. And so, because of that, the beasts that currently roam thebyrinth will be thest of their kind to be made by thebyrinth again," Silva said.


    "Master, does that mean you n to stop thebyrinth from making monsters?" Drake asked.


    "No, that''s not it," Silva said and took out the heart from his inventory. This was the heart that was used to make abominations.


    "This heart is capable of turning a ce''s living things into abominations," Silva said.


    "I see, so you n to infuse the heart into the core of thebyrinth, and that will make future spawns into abominations that even we can kill to get stronger," Lily analyzed.


    "Exactly, Lily. Every currentbyrinth dweller is now part of our new home, but as for the new spawns, they will be abominations that will keep thebyrinth running," Silva said.


    They finally got to a veryrge metal door, engraved with the drawing of a dragon. Silva pushed the door, and after a small creaking sound, it budged and opened.
