  ***********************************

  "Y-You! You 't do that!" one of the ammered, his voice trembling as he pointed an acg fi Alex. The room, once a bastion of noble arrogance, was now suffused with an air of fear and tension.

  Alex chuckled darkly, his pierg gaze sweeping across the chamber. "Oh, but I . And I will." His voice was calm, yet every word struck like a thundercp. "Your crimes—bullying oners, suppressing them under your boots, scheming in the shadows, and spilling i blood—will no lo unpunished. You've lived as parasites, feeding off the kingdom's lifeblood. Today, the reing begins."

  The chamber erupted in murmurs, a cacophony of fear and e among the nobles. One middle-aged noble, his face flushed with anger, stood and smmed his hand oable. "How dare you speak to us this way, you i pheasant! You think—"

  Schwip—Thud!

  Before the noble could finish his sentence, Alex's bde fshed, severing the man's head ly. The gruesome sound of his body colpsing to the floor silehe room instantly. Gasps and horrified whispers spread like wildfire as the surviving nobles recoiled in shock.

  Alex flicked the blood from his bde, his expression unging. "Let me make ohing clear. I am not Julius Novao. I am not soft-hearted, and I will not tolerate insolence. I reward those who deserve it, and I punish those who viote the ws of this kingdom. Bark at me again, and you'll meet the same fate as him."

  He sheathed his sword, his eyes narrowing. "You've mistaken kindness for weakness for far too long. But the kingdom's ruin isn't due to external threats—it's because of iermites like you. I io se this rot, starting here and now."

  Secre, standing silently behind Alex, observed the proceedings with her usual calm demeanor. Yet, even she couldn't help but feel a pang of u his ruthless efficy.

  Turning to her with a softer expression, Alex spoke, "Secre, you've seen this kingdom crumble over turies, haven't you? I know you uand what I'm doing here."

  Her crimson eyes locked onto his, and for a moment, the fai flicker of approval crossed her face. "You're different from the prince," she said ftly. "You'll carry out what others fear to even speak of."

  Alex smiled at her ent but returned his attention to the nobles, who now sat frozen in terror. "Now then," he tinued, his voice dropping into a dangerously low tone, "each of you will return the wealth you've stolen. Every st hidden away in your estates, your vaults, your secret caches—I want it all in the royal treasury. The kingdom is in ruins, and your ill-gotten gains will be used to rebuild it."

  "What if we refuse?" a trembling voice dared to ask.

  Alex turned his cold gaze to the speaker, his lips curling into a smirk. "Refuse?" He chuckled softly, the sound sending chills down the spines of everyone present. "Please, refuse. Give me an excuse to visit your estates personally and finish what I started here."

  The silehat followed was deafening. No one dared to meet his gaze.

  Satisfied, Alex turo Secre. "Let's go. I've wasted enough time on these parasites."

  As they walked out, Secre g him. "Do you think they'll actually ply?"

  Alex smirked, his devilish charm slipping bato pce. "Most will. Fear is a wonderful motivator. But I hope a few resist. It's always satisfying to make examples."

  Secre raised an eyebrow, her toill deadpan. "You're dangerous, Alex. When I first met you as a child, you were so… sweet."

  "Hah!" Alex ughed heartily. "Life ges people, Secre. And besides, haven't you ged in these past 500 years? Life's uability is what makes it iing."

  Secre paused, her lips twitg faintly in what might have been the ghost of a smile. "Life is iing because it's uable… an iing thought."

  The Magiight HQ: Setting the Stage

  When Alex and Secre arrived at Julius Novao's office, they found the Magic Emperor pag nervously, his usual calm demeanor o be seen.

  "Alex!" Julius nearly shouted, rubbing his temples in exasperation. "What have you done?! I heard reports—death? At the Magic Parliament? Do you realize the chaos this will cause?!"

  Alex leaned casually against the wall, crossing his arms. "Rex, Julius. It's all under trol."

  "Under trol?!" Julius's voice rose in pitch. "You executed two nobles! Do you have any idea—"

  "They were scum," Alex interrupted his tone firm. "And their deaths sent a clear message to the others. The kingdom doesn't need parasites. It needs leaders who care about its people. Besides," he added with a sly grin, "you'll thaer."

  "Thank you? For what?" Julius asked incredulously.

  "For clearing the way," Alex said, stepping forward. "Yoing to be the King of the Clover Kingdom."

  The room fell silent. Julius stared at Alex as if he'd grown a sed head. "King? Me? That's—"

  "Exactly what the people want," Alex cut him off. "I saw it during the Star Festival. The citizens trust you more than any noble or royal. They believe in you, Julius. And with the Kira family weakehe path is clear. I'll secure the support of the Silva and Vermillion houses. Once we dismahe remaining opposition, no one will stand in your way."

  Julius opened his mouth to protest, but a loud voiterrupted him.

  "I agree with Alex."

  Everyourned as the office door smmed open, revealing Mereoleona Vermillion. Her fiery aura filled the room as she strode inside, her presenanding immediate attention.

  "Mereoleona?" Julius blinked, surprised. "You—"

  "The Vermillion family supports Julius Novao as the King," she decred boldly. "And Alex, I have a question for you."

  Alex tilted his head, smirking. "What is it, Lioness?"

  Mereoleona grinned, her sharp teeth glinting in the light. "What do you want, Alex? A birl?"

  The room froze. Julius's jaw dropped, Secre blinked in fusion, and Alex—ever the fident o out a booming ugh.
