3rd Pov
A dim light shone throughout the Darkness, giving enough exposure to the area and showing the contents of the room.
The light came from a candle that was placed on the round table in the middle of the room, it's light radiant enough to show three people that were sitting around the table and discussing something.
"What was the name of that child again?" One of them who was wearing a black rob said.
"You mean Roygun's little brother, Roy Belphegor?" A figure sitting across him said.
"Yes. That child would be the perfect sacrifice for us."
The man moved his hand and a magic circle appeared, showing the image of a child with wheat coloured hair sleeping soundlessly in a cradle.
"Why? Not that I'm against it but I don't see him becoming a threat, especially since he isn't from the seventy two pillars." The third one that had stayed silent till now voiced what was on his mind.
"He indeed isn't a threat to us and we're not doing that for such a reason. It's because Roygun adores that child."
"Ah I see what you're planning. You plan on eliminating him resulting in Roygun being enraged and saddened by his death."
"Losing a person you care about can have a big impact on those who cherished that person. Given that Roygun is ranked second in rating games and is one of the infelutal figures of the underworld, She will surely look into it to see who killed her brother."
"I see. With that, she will be chasing after the person or the master mind behind this, and we come in with intent to help her."
The man wearing the black rob took out a chess piece, queen to be exact.
"And then she will join our side, being an important pawn for us."
The other two fell silent till the third one decided to break the silence.
"What if she finds out that it was us who were behind it?"
The Black rob man gave a dry laugh, then proceeded to crush the queen piece in his hand.
"If she's not on our side, then she will be eliminated. If we can't have her no one else can."
"Then shall I proceed and send assassins to take care of that boy?" The second figure said.
The first one moved his hand as if to dismiss him "There's no need for that as I have already sent them and prepared a scenario that his guards won't be there to protect him."
"Then we'll leave it to you and wait for the results." The second figure said and a magic circle appeared under him, making the man disappear.
"Sigh... what a shame. That boy could have had a bright future like Roygun if he had time." The third figure muttered as he also left the room.

Currently Roy was sleeping peacefully in his cradle and so far nothing had disrupted his beloved sleep.
Vermeil had cast a protection barrier around him in case something happens whilst she's busy.
Similar to her, Roygun had also cast another layer of protection magic on Roy. If it was up to her she would have preferred to not leave his side but as a person with authority, she had responsibilities.
As of now, Roy was all alone in his room making it perfect for anyone who had the thought of killing him in silence.
That is if they were skillful enough to pass the barriers set by two powerful figures.
The window towards the balcony slowly but surely began to open and two figures entered the room.
Both were wearing complete black clothes,
disguising themselves as the police's favourite practice target.
As they moved close to Roy with caution, one of them had put his foot on a small duck toy.
*Quak*
A sound similar to a duck resonated from the duck, waking Roy from his sleep and alarming the duo.
Roy rubbed his eyes with his small hands and looked at the people who had disrupted his sleep.
"Kid close your moth and you better stay silent or we'll make this painful for you." One of the assassins said.
The gears in his mind began to work and Roy realised that they had come to take his life, but not a single sign of panic could be seen on his face, rather he was frowning at the duo.
"So you disturbed my sleep for this? Come back when after I slept enough."
With that Roy Went back to sleeping, leaving the duo confused.
"Oi kid we're here to kill you." One of them said and got closer to him.
"And I said come back after I'm done sleeping."
"... Let's just kill him." the other one said and they both nodded at eachother signaling to attack and kill Roy as fast as possible.
Roy lifted the pillow that was by his side and enhanced it with magic. He then threw it toward the one that had stepped on his duck toy.
"Huh you think a pil-" But before the man could say anything, the pillow came in contact with his face and blood splattered around the room.
The other assassin turned around to look at his partner, only to see his body on the ground with it's head missing.
Looking around the room, he could still see the flesh and parts of the brain that had scattered around the room.
"W-what happened?" The man said while shivering and being scared for his life as he saw the estate of his dead partner.
"I warned you to come back later. You even made me use more energy than I intended. I'll make sure you'll pay for it."
Roy declared as an dark aura spread from him, making the man drop on his ass and shiver for his life.
"How is this even possible? He was a high ranked devil." The man muttered as his breathing became ragged.
Roy moved jis hand forward and the pillow came back to him.
Aiming the pillow towards the man and enhancing it with magic again, he threw the pillow.
The pillow upon contact, crushed and destroyed the man from impact, killing him in the process.
Few seconds passed and the blood and meats around the room gathered in one place.
As they all came together, the assassins emerged from them again.
"What happened!?" They were shocked and frustrated as they clearly remembered that they had died.
After all who can forget the memory of dying to a harmless pillow and that was thrown by a small child?
Roy looked at the two of them coldly and raised his pillow again.
"Did you think I'll let you off the hook just with that?"
"We're sorry that we wanted to kill you, heck we're not even the ones behind it." One of them bowed and begged for mercy.
"That's right we were just given orders." The other one played along.
"It seems you are mistaken about something. This isn't about killing me. It's for disrupting my sleep."
"..." Both were bewildered at what the child Infront of them was saying.
"Dying once isn't enough to repay for what you did to my dear sleep. Be prepared for a world of pain."
And thus Roy began to torture and kill the duo many times with a simple weapon that he preferred over any weapon, a pillow.
While the duo were being killed by the pillow in a loop, they failed to realise that they were tangled in the trap that was set by Roy.
He had taken precautions against those who disrupted his sleep and had decided to make a trap for them.
The moment a person that he doesn't recognise or hasn't given permission to enters his room, they'll be entering a dream world, a fake reality.
Their original bodies would remain still while their mind is occupied by his dream world.
All the pain and events that happened in the dream world would feel to be real and not fabricated as the mind was already in a state that believed this dream world is the reality.
Thus whoever was tortured in there, after coming back to reality wouldn't think twhat happened was fake and will firmly believe it is the truth and will be traumatised for their life.
So while in Dreamworld Roy was killing them endlessly, in reality he was enjoying his sleep without any disruption.
[What a terrifying man, To go to such lengths just so he can sleep peacefully. Reincarnating him wasn't a bad idea.] The G said to himself as he observed the situation and prayed for the assassins soul.

And that's it for this chapter. Our boy is going to use Pillows as his main weapon from now on.
Imagine beating someone's peerage with a Single pillow in a rating game. Personally that's something I'd pay money to watch.
If anyone has any suggestions for mc look, they can send pics for reference and I'll see which one suits him. The important factor is that he's a blonde, so other than that go wild and send whatever you want.
