[Layland Kleinhaus' POV]
Schluk!
"Gah!"
A groan comes out of the mouth of the Knight Captain of the County as I pull my hand out of his chest. He helplessly falls to the ground, clutching his chest in pain as his lungs fail to supply him with oxygen.
Raising my foot, I stomp his head to end his suffering. His body stops wiggling; I walk toward the man who outlived his subordinates, the Count of the County himself, Liam Allusia. He is a middle-aged man with a strong physique and a youthful look. One of the most loved rulers in Antares.
Why did I have a plan to still liberate the people despite them loving their ruler? You may ask. The answer is I don't care. I am not a benevolent, selfless Hero. I am a Demon—an egoistic man. All I care about is my benefit. So, what if he is a good ruler? There is more than one way to change people's views in a snap. Just like what I did to the people who loved Niles.
