(Lord Judas POV)
It was four hundred years ago when I migrated to the blue planet.
And in the present era, the planet called me the Deputy Minister of the Hadar administration, the third position before the Prime Minister.
All of the rules and regulations and the passing of law shall be judged with my own eyes before I passed it down to congress.
My parents named me Judas upon my birth. I was the eldest among my step-siblings of a Viscount Family.
Silver was the meaning of my name because of my eyes. It was round and full of hope according to the council's viewpoint.
I was the legitimate heir of the Aguinaldo Clan. We controlled the red planet, formerly known as Mars. But since it was an underdeveloped area, full of unsolicited resources, land of slaves and serfs, and lack of proper infrastructure, I decided to abandon my duty and hailed to the trash planet.
To make sure no one would question my decision there. I told my parents that I wanted to migrate here as training. With my power and knowledge, I proclaimed to annex it under our household as a disguise. Thankfully, they adamantly agreed and supported me.
Living on the garbage planet was better than I imagined. Despite its critical situation and danger for my life, I enjoyed staying here.
There were a lot of open opportunities that I could do. Unlike the red planet, there was a huge door for success and a bright future.
After I reached my hundred years of birthday, I started to form my own harem like my beloved father.
There were a lot of beautiful couriers living here, so I made a move before another noble take them. I was so glad that all of the daughters of other nobles were bitches. I could do anything like no other.
If I found a beautiful girl among the serfs, I forcibly asked my men to take her under my roof. I didn't care about the cries of her parents, so I would add her to my harem.
'Why shouldn't I? Because I'm a noble. We have a noble right. We're born to gather girls as our token, and we should treat the serfs, peasants, and slaves as a plaything.'
I smirked.
'Girls were the subject of pleasure. Men shall rule them all. We should take advantage of that!' ― My father often reminded me when I was under his guardianship.
Unlike the pitiful nobles living here, I was never abandoned. My purpose in living here was to establish my own kingdom under my rule.
All of these undisciplined, uneducated, and lack of common sense citizens were easy prey for my schemes.
Everyone truly believed I was a genius among them all.
In order for my plan to succeed, I had to build connections. Build my own reputation within and outside the territory.
I started from the serfs, slaves and confronted the criminal leaders within the planet. And thankfully, I successfully gained their trust too easily.
'What a bunch of fools. In the next century, I will make this planet my own. Rejoice, people, Lord Judas will make you happy under my regime,' I simpered.
The owners of this planet left it alone without a single ruler. This was my only chance to use my authority to open a diplomat request from the Count.
All of my plans and visions for the future slowly diminished from my hands, however.
Why? Because the emperor sent a notification letter and announced to all citizens of the trash planet that a new lord had been appointed.
I, I was shocked!
The Empire ruined my whole plan for the future.
The veins on my forehead appeared and slammed a hand on the wall out of anger.
I drank a dozen of beer with my subjects, I mean friends at the bar. Then, I went to grab a random girl I first spotted and raped them in the bushes. Peasants or a relative of a noble family, I killed them to hide the truth.
Why do you think? Because I didn't want to ruin my reputation and I wanted to avoid a confrontation with my important people who I could use for my ambitions!
To ease my mind, I dryly gobbed my harem to avoid their suspicions. I didn't care how many times do I have to enjoy the pleasure.
Nevertheless, I would never allow them to get pregnant. Having a child with my harem was disgusting and a disgrace. Therefore, I often killed the child with his/her mother.
'I'm going to meet many people with domineering personalities; the loud, the obnoxious, those that noisily stake their claims in my territory and everywhere else they set foot on. This is the blueprint of a predator. Predators prey on gentleness, peace, calmness, sweetness, and any positivity that they sniff out as weakness.' I said, gravely.
Needless to say, the reason was to strengthen my resolve. Having a child would make me weak, and I wanted to show that I was still the man with the dignity of a true ruler.
'Men and women are equal in terms of standards, but everyone is born different in their own way. Like it or not, there are worse people than me,' I condemned.
Humans were irrational, stupid, and sometimes, weak to admit their mistakes. That's why I wanted to avoid questioning my sanity.
How I easy to change my decision was based on my own judgment and observation. I had to adapt and survive on any occasion.
Good men always die first before the bad guys. Girls easily fell in love with assertive men. That's why I had to do it.
If you're weak, then the world itself won't allow you to succeed.
The strong men would achieve anything without thinking about the consequences because the world won't revolve around you if you didn't move forward.
'As the heir of the red planet, the fate of this planet is now on my hands,' I declared, smiling.
Although I was mad about the news, I had never given up on my ambition to annex it.
If I failed on the first try, then the second plan should succeed.
Giving up was never an option. It was the last thing I would ever do.
I began to make a move and made a long-term plan. From A to C, I created the most sophisticated strategies.
I patiently waited for ten years before our new lord decided to show up.
There were a lot of things I expected the least such as his house was full of crap, his servants were unorganized and unprepared and his appearance was the same as I. But all of my negative ideas made me swallow them.
'H, h, holy shit. The whole mansion is so beautiful The whole event looks extravagant!' I fretted.
All of the four noblemen dropped their jaws like a cartoon character in the movies. I held my breath and sighed.
I had to endure this humiliating defeat.
'The new lord sure knows how to destroy our pride through this,' I clenched my fists.
I wore a fantastic suit to overshadow my colleagues, but to think this event made me look like nothing but a fool. I was so mad.
For the past few years, I waited for him to fail, but the result was all the same. He always succeeded and reached a new level of bullshits.
He educated the poor, abolish slavery and even form a new government. All of it ruined my plan to control the mindless humans.
He even created a law against criminality such as adultery, robbery, and corruption. This made me realize he's a complete moron for doing such a thing. Because of all of these strict policies passed down, a lot of my important friends had been executed. Not to mention, I had to stop my hobby of forming a harem and caught some random girls because of the 911 hotline.
'Goddamn it, Hadar. This child is a menace,' I grimaced.
There were a lot of silly concubines who tried to escape and reported me to the authority, but luckily, I easily bribed the local polices with money and gifts.
I executed my properties at ease because of that. If their families tried to search for them, I often used a good excuse to make them leave.
"Phew," I wipe my face when I escape.
The Hadar administration was difficult to destroy, but the man itself should be easy to tame. I tried everything in my power to gain his trust, but I often rejected by him.
This made me conclude to guess that someone like me was controlling him. No child at his age could possibly transform this planet into a paradise.
But thanks to that schemer, he made my planet a good place to live in. I wondered how exactly he tamed Hadar.
Controlling that child wasn't easy because the emperor personally appointed him.
"I guess, it can't be helped," I heaved a sigh.
Nevertheless, enough was enough. Every single time, the opportunity often disappeared from my hands. I had to do something before its too late.
Hadar the menace forcibly asked us to make his birthday a national holiday. I couldn't endure this humiliation.
I wanted him to fail once, but the good fate always reversed my dream.
The prime minister was stupid. I thought he's a fellow comrade of arms, but he's too weak. He's already fallen on his good side.
I didn't like to be in the second spot, so maybe, I should remove him from his power.
"Hmm, sounds good," I simpered, rubbing my jaw with a dark face.
