Pawns.
Sitting on the chair in my room with a cup of tea in my hand and the cat at my feet, I thought of what was to come next.
Things were simple. I wanted to grow stronger. To grow stronger, I would need to get rid of Luka and his entourage, but as long as I was still not strong enough to do it openly, I would have to do it secretly.
In all honesty, this all worked in my favor, I always wanted to fight someone strong like a protagonist anyway. But before that, there was a need to nurture scapegoats.
I wanted to speed things up. Leaving them for the end would only be stupid, one after another, I needed to get them all down, and for that, I needed pawns.
