Primis then continued walking to his new mansion "Raven Sight" with Ryuu and others following behind. During the way, they saw many people who were looking outside from their window to check whether the Nobles troops were present on the street before coming out.
Fear was visible in their eyes. Witnessing this, all the waitresses stopped talking among themselves and became silent. All of them clenched their fists tightly. In that last month, the fear of Nobles had already been deeply rooted in all civilians and Adventurers hearts.
Orario was no longer as lively as before. Let alone Ryuu and others even Ais was following behind clenched her fists. They all were helpless to do anything. At this time, they heard these people talking among themselves in low voices. However, since everyone here were High-level Adventurers compared to these civilians, they heard it clearly.
Civilian 1: If only "The Black Swordsman" haven't come to Orario.
Civilian 2: That Bastard. All of this is "The Black Swordsman" fault.
Civilian 3: Because of his enmity with Nobles, we have to suffer.
Civilian 4: It will be great if he is already dead.
Civilian 5: No. I am pretty sure he is hiding. Otherwise, Nobles won't be sending their troops to check our places.
Civilian 6: Die already "The Black Swordman".
Civilian 7: I hope your death will be worse.
Ryuu, Chloe, Anya and Lunoire face paled when they heard this. These who were blatantly cursing didn't know that the said person just walked past them. Then they all took a sigh of relief seeing Primis indifferent expression. Clearly indicating he didn't care what people think about him. But there's someone people who didn't like it. They were obvious Lili, Haruhime and Ais.
No matter what, Primis is their Lord. How could they remain silent when they heard how these people were insulting him in broad daylight. Ais hand then moved towards the "Lambent Light" at her waist. While Lili and Haruhime started to condense their magic.
{Primis: Stop Ais.}
{Ais: But Lord they----}
{Primis: Stop.}
{Ais: ...…Yes.}
Primis: Stop. Lili. Haruhime.
Ais then removed her hand and Lili, Haruhime also stopped. Old them would have never even thought of attacking civilians, but current Ais who was clearly affected by Primis heart and Lili, Haruhime who witnessed the dark side of Orario last month changed a lot. Civilians, Adventurers, and Gods. It doesn't matter. If they were their Lord enemies, they won't hesitate to attack them.
Lunoire, Chloe and Anya didn't understand what Primis meant by saying stop to Lili and Haruhime. Because they didn't see any change in them. However, Ryuu was different. As an elf, she's very sensitive to magic. Hence, a solemn look appeared on her face. Others might not have noticed it, but she sensed the magic condensing around them even when they didn't show any movement in their actions. This greatly shocked her.
'Ryuu: Just How? How do they have such a fine control over their magic? They didn't use chant.'
At this time, they passed by an alley. Suddenly Ryuu heard something and stopped. Her action also made others to stop.
Lunoire: What's happen, Ryuu?
Chloe: There's a crying of a child, meow~.
Lunoire: Oh...…
Ryuu didn't go inside. She turned to look at Primis who also stopped on his tracks.
Primis: Go, I will wait.
Ryuu: Thank You.
Ryuu smiled sweetly before rushing in. Ryuu has a huge sense of justice in her heart. That's why Primis didn't try to stop her. Seeing Ryuu back Lunoire, Chloe and Anya turned to Primis who only gave them a small nod. Then they also follow Ryuu. Once they were all gone, Haruhime opened her mouth.
Haruhime: Husband, why did you stop us? We were not going to kill them. We just want to teach them a lesson.
Primis: By doing this, you both would have also become the object of their hatred.
Lili: We don't care whether they will hate us or not.
Primis shook his head before continuing.
Primis: Human or Civilians are weak creatures. Once they suffer and get hurt, they start to find someone who they can put the blame on.
Haruhime: ...…
Lili: ...…
Primis: Select two people. One Normal and One Genuis. Then give them a target to achieve. "Genius One" will hurriedly reach his goal while "Normal One" will take a time. However, the moment "Normal One" will hit a wall instead of lamenting his own weakness he will lashed at "Genius One" saying world is unfair for him.
Lili and Haruhime: Unfair.
Primis gave a mocking laugh.
Primis: What did he mean by unfair? In the world, there's no such thing as fairness. If a normal civilian want to become an Adventurer, they need to struggle a lot since no Familia want a weak person who isn't even Level 1. Whereas if you have some good relationship with the same Familia members, they will let you join easily. Where is Fairness? If you want to sell magic stones in Guild and you didn't join any Familia, then you must pay the tax of 20% whereas if you have joined a Familia, you only need to pay the tax of 8%. Where is Fairness? Even if you joined a Familia, Familia most focus will be on their main members whereas they won't care much even if you will die since you are just a mere newbie. Where is Fairness?
Haruhime: ...
Lili: ...
Primis: Just like you both. I will make you both reach heights which would you both could have never imagined. Every Adventurer and Gods will get jealous of both you and your Familia. Saying it's unfair for both of you to have such great talent and it's also unfair for your God to have you both.
Haruhime: ...
Lili: ...
Primis: At first, many Adventurers will try their best to catch up to you when they will fail. Can you guess what will happen?
Lili and Haruhime both gulped. They suddenly felt that Primis next words will affect them greatly.
Primis: At first, they will admire you. Then they will look up to you. Then they will start to fear you. And then they will start to hate you. So, be ready. As you both will become stronger, you both will see such people a lot.
Haruhime: ...
Lili: ...
Haruhime and Lili become silent completely. They knew what Primis said is true. Everyone hates talented people. They will do everything to get their hands on such people. However, if they failed, they preferred to erase them. Even when there's no enmity between them. They will face the same thing soon too. Primis let them remain in their thoughts while waiting for waitresses to return.
'Primis: Yes. There's no such thing as Fairness. Loki Familia was already a strong Familia during Zeus and Hera times. It was extremely difficult to join them. Yet Ais was able to join them. Why? It's not because Loki saw hatred for monsters in her eyes. Every week. Every Month. Every Year. Countless adventurers died in dungeon. Many of them had family. With their death many children became Orphaned. You can't say that the hatred these children have for monsters will be less than Ais.'
Primis then glanced at Ais.
'Primis: Some of them possessed even greater hatred than Ais. Then why Ais was chosen by Loki not the other children. That's because Ais possessed her strongest skill "Ariel" from the very beginning. That's why she was chosen not the others. So, where is fairness? Why did she possess this skill but not others. Why? That's because she was the heroine of this world. Chosen by the very Will of this world.'
By now, Ryuu returned with Lunoire, Chloe and Anya following behind. Though, their facial expressions were not good. When meeting Primis gaze, they looked away.
Primis: Let's go.
Primis then turned and walked towards the location. He didn't ask them what happened because he was already witness everything with his Elemental Sight.

The boy was crying at the end of the alley. Ryuu and others approached him and started to console him. After their consoling they boy calmed down. According to the boy, he lived with his mother who run a flower shop for earning. His father died in dungeon. They both were living a content life. Yet, it was all destroyed last month.
Noble soldiers entered their home saying they received the news of "The Black Swordsman" here. Once they were done checking they said they want to have a private talk with her mother. His mother sent him in his room while she talked with them. At the beginning everything was normal but later at night he heard the laugh of those soldiers and his mother groan and painful voice.
It kept on going on for the entire night until those soldiers left in the morning. The boy entered her mother room and found her naked figure covered in white fluid. Since he was knowledgeable about adult stuff, he knew what transpired last night. This greatly affect him.
When he approached her mother, she looked at him and showed him reassuring smile saying she is okay. Then he helped her mother to wash her body before everything returned normal. Or so he thought. After two days, those soldiers came again, and same thing happened. From then on, those Nobles Soldiers came every two-three day and he had to see her mother sorry figure every time.
Since he was powerless, the only thing he could do this watch. This helpless turned into hatred for those soldiers. As he was thinking of a way to get revenge on them, he heard people said the reason for their suffering is "The Black Swordsman". Hence, the hatred boy had for soldiers turned towards Primis. After the boy, calm down completely. He spoke in very cold voice.
Boy: I will join a Familia to become an Adventurer. Then I will kill "The Black Swordsman" with my own hands.
Hearing such a cold voice full of hatred, Ryuu and others became silent

Currently, they were approaching "Raven Sight". No one talked this time. Currently, the person every hate the most in Orario are not Nobles but "The Black Swordsman". Too bad, Primis didn't give a damn. Now even Level 9 Adventurers is nothing but ants in his eyes. As for that boy, he didn't care either. While the boy was talking with Ryuu, Primis already saw his fate lines. Because boy was blinded by his hatred and power, he went deeper into dungeon to become strong faster. There he died. And the worst death.
'Primis: Pathetic. This is what happen when you let emotions get the best of you.'
{Ophis: Primis, there are many people who want to kill you. Why are you letting them live?}
{Primis: Did you think with their meager strength, they can do anything?}
{Ophis: That's true. But it's still irritating when insects buzz near your ears.}
{Primis: Hahahahaha. I won't deny that. Still, the reason I didn't make any move because they all are going to die, anyway.}
{Ophis: Is that so.}
Ophis tilted her head cutely.
{Primis: Glimpse in the river of time, Ophis.}
{Ophis: Hmm.}
A glint passed in Ophis eyes.
{Ophis: Oh. So, that animal you bring to life do the thing.}
{Primis: Yes.}
When Ais was doing her magic control practice last time, Primis glimpse into the river of time. That time he saw the destruction Behemoth did.
{Primis: More than half of the population in Orario died. Hence, if I kill right now even more population will plummet. That's why I didn't take any action.}
{Ophis: Oh. Ok.}
Primis smiled seeing how Ophis was now taking initiative to ask him. His gaze then returned to front. Raven Sight was already in front, and he can Hestia and Hephaestus waiting for them.
