"I am calm. There is no need to worry about it." Despite saying that, it was pretty apparent that he was not in the mood to negotiate. And there was nothing his attendant could do.

"Looks like this little thorn seems to be more than capable. Why don\'t you ascend him into your ranks?" His wife commented. "Won\'t it be better than to leave it there, growing? Or do you want the Archduke to take him in instead?"

"It\'s unforgivable though. He destroyed one of the few ways I can ascend to immortality and be one of the greatest people in this world." The king replied to his Queen who sat from afar and gave a condescending stare at the incompetence of his minions.

"If it consoles you, doesn\'t what Edmond did was to show that the concept works? All you got to find is that Crystal Dragon and reign absolute power over the Empire before it crumbles in front of you." The Queen remarked.  "Besides you do not have to worry about that newly appointed Lord of Mount Sunn even though the overall Administrator had given him such a title for his \'deeds\'. We just got to make sure that he is not alive enough to return to Mount Sunn, right? Well, that is if you hated him enough." 

"Your Majesty, Your Highness. If you allow your lowly servant to interject." 

"Speak, Puzzle." The King had enough of his Queen\'s rambling and would rather have his personal attendant, Puzzle, to talk instead. 

"Dungeons had always surrounded Daimon City. And to boot, because of the recent ...erm developments on the Crystal Dragons, those dungeons had been plundered so severely that they had been turned into Variant Dungeons." 

"Continue, I like the sound of this." The King said. 

"Thank you, your Majesty. Even without our interference, it seems that there is a high possibility of the city being invaded by monsters, especially from reports that the city\'s barrier had been down. Even though they are one of the few largest Mechanoid manufacturers in our Empire, most of their factories are situated away from the city itself. That means that even though they have a few guarded factories for customised products, a monster outbreak of several variant dungeons would undoubtedly cripple the city."

"Oh. I like this idea. If the Archduke\'s team ever got out and know that we are the ones who commissioned the Crystal Dragon Mechanoid, they have all the more reason to bring us down. On the other hand, if we get rid of Daimon City, there would be no evidence to speak of." The Queen was delighted to hear such a recommendation from their trusty personal attendant. 

"Yes, and not to mention, you can be sure that your so called thorn, the Lord of Mount Sunn would not be able to get out of this situation."

"Then, what are you waiting for? It\'s such a good plan why have you not enacted it? This will make it seem like nature was merely doing its job to clear the incessant pests that had plundered her resources, right? All it needed is just a nudge from us to get the floodgates moving." The King finally calmed down from his anger but got high again from this exciting idea. 

"I have already stationed a few several ...wilderness experts on standby and ready to act on your behalf," Puzzle said. "With your approval, they are just a phone call away to do what is needed to make sure that the monster lures will be out so that those monsters can attack Daimon City." 

"With my capacity as the Queen, I approve of the plan you had concocted which I believe the King is also in agreement." The King nodded his head decisively when his wife glared at him momentarily when she finished her sentence. Puzzle instantly acknowledge and was about to get up when his Queen stopped him by speaking further. "Puzzle, I have another task for you once you are done with the initial order. Inform the Lords of the neighbouring cities of Daimon to not to provide reinforcements and to guard themselves from an impending monster outbreak." 

"Your Highness, you sure that would be a wise choice? That would be interfering with the Archduke\'s district and he won\'t be happy about it." 

"That\'s precisely my point. What else can he do when the Imperial Family sent a royal decree for the sake of the people? Surely the Lords would oblige when their palms had been applied with a little bit of greasing from us as well. Give them some gold as military expenditure to defend themselves from it and a little more for the Lords and Ladies to keep in their pocket. Spread rumours that Daimon City has been up to no good and does not deserve to be helped."

"Hah! Then the Daimon City would be in shambles by the end of the week. If I am not wrong, their main military force is stuck withdrawing from Mount Sunn and it will take them weeks at least days to reach back Daimon. Now this will be something that even the Lord of Mount Sunn cannot reckon with." The king was extremely pleased with this new plan. While he did not expect this commander Jin to be a pain in the ass, he knew that this was the best plan to nip the whole situation at its bud.

If his intuition was correct, that pesky Lord of Mount Sunn would try to defend the city with whatever resources he could find but this time around, there was no way he can win. Variant monsters of varying difficulties all coming out to play. Even the King wants petty revenge, this is one way to do so.
