"Why are you back so early? Is it done? Is she dead?"

"No sir, but we are trying.."

"Then what the hell are you doing here? Please don't return to me unless you have Anabel's head on your hands! Is a brat that much trouble for you? Do you want more money?! Fine! I will double your budget!"

"But sir, Anabel has found the help of Adamantite adventurers L'arc and Eclaire! We can't kill such renowned heroes of the people!"

"Who cares about the people's heroes?! Don't you just kill? Do I need to hire someone who will actually get the job done?"

"No sir, I understand my orders. Sorry to bother you. I'll finish all three of them as you requested."

I swear some subordinates are simply useless. Before me, there was one of the many cockroaches feeding off my wealth. Simple-minded individuals who can't carry out their orders are valueless.

What's a subordinate good for if he does not obey his master's orders? Who cares about the poor, unlucky few who got an evil eye from the Gods! Us royalty were hand-picked by god himself to rule over these pests called people.

This is why I must eliminate Anabel, my Father, the king, and mother. They're all parasites. Dumb individuals seeking a fairer government for the peasants! Puff! Pathetic! Don't make me laugh! If left to their own devices, these peasants would become savage in a split second. It is us who keep them in check.

After all, it is our holy right to rule and carry out the will of the World Goddess who bestows her powers on us. She should be the only guidance all of us mere mortals should need, and as it comes. The supreme one has spoken to me and given me orders to improve this country.

I shall kill the princess, the king, and the queen to fulfill my Goddess orders. Regarding ruling, the Goddess has given me full authority over the land, and I shall see that the cockroaches get put down when they protest.

Starting with the land my sister is currently in, I shall lead a holy campaign to cleanse the land. It has been rebellious for far too long under my Father's rule. He's become soft! So I can only fix it with an iron fist that will crush the monkeys once and for all!

Oh, Father, if only you knew you were so close to death. If only you knew what your fates had in store for you in a few days. The "Crowning" Ceremony is nothing more than a distraction for me to mount a full-scale coup to overthrow your rotten flesh.

I have the youngest soldiers on my side and most of the shadows along the kingdom, excluding my mother's shadows. Goddam it, they will be a problem. I hate to say it, but she could mean real trouble, as her units are incredibly loyal to her.

It is fine still. Even if her units were loyal, they would fight a losing war. I already have the support of three-fourths of the army. It won't take much to control the entire military once it begins, so it will be a smooth power exchange.

As far as getting Anabel to my side, that's a dead option as she was always so libertarian, just like her Father. She has been dead to me for years now, so I don't care about her in the slightest. Plus, rumors say she's lost her edge in magic! Ahaha! Such a blessing by the Goddess!

Her plans were truly magnificent! A work of art! Nothing less to be expected from her. Now, I must return to my good, humble prince act before anyone hears me speaking ill of everyone.
