"She loves you so much, Czar. She is the dream girl of many men and she chose you. Any reason for that?"
"I don’t know. Maybe I have a Black ranked Ego that’s why."
"Possibly. Alpha male and all."
"Forget it. Stay quiet for a second."
Draxus obliged.
Pablo finally focused back on the pages.
He started reading and in five seconds, he finished one page.
His eyes moved on each word and he was engrossed in reading.
He finished every page in five seconds and Draxus just watched Pablo doing that.
He was amazed at Pablo’s speed.
Every page was filled with information from top to bottom and Pablo was finishing it like they contained only five lines.
Twenty minutes passed like that and Pablo finally put the papers down.
"You are done?" Draxus asked.
"Yeah. Now I know everything."
"So why didn’t you send me out as well?" Draxus asked another thing.
"For this shadow covering and to double check." Pablo answered.
"Okay. I am ready."
Pablo nodded.
"So a Count of the city handles all the city related stuff?"
"Yes."
"And he is only answerable to the Duke. Duke is bigger than a Count."
"That’s true."
"And only the family members of the Duke and Count can become the next Duke and Count."
"Yes. Like after her father, Sera or her husband will become the next Count. No outsider allowed.’
’She is already the Count.’

"Alright. And this Kingdom Forza has two hundred cities and every city has a Count and a Duke."
"Right."
"And the Dukes of all cities are only answerable to the five personal Dukes of the King?"
"Yes. And those five Dukes are super strong. They are the King’s bodyguards. Only the family members of the King can meet the King. Any other person had to go through the Dukes first."
"And these five bodyguard Dukes are called High Dukes."
"Yes."
"And this same system is followed in all ten Kingdoms?"
"Yes. Nobles, then Count, then Duke, then High Dukes. Nine out of ten kingdoms follow this hierarchy. Except the Hollow Kingdom."
"I know. They only have One king. No Dukes. No Counts. All the people there serve the King as soldiers."
"That’s right."
"And you can’t become a Duke or Count but you can become a High Duke if you win against one in a challenge."
"Yes. But no one has ever won. The King has had the same high dukes for years now."
"And there is a slum like Desper in all the cities?"
"Yes. All two hundred cities of this Kingdom have those slums. They are lawless areas. All the cities have built high walls around themselves so that slums and them couldn’t meet each other. There are slums in other Kingdoms as well."
"Makes sense. And the most common job is being a simple foot soldier whose job is to safeguard the city. And the Count is responsible for hiring them."
"Yes. There are many soldiers present all around this Kingdom."
"And there are also private detectives who work for rich people. They handle their cases if something unusual occurs. Is that right?"
"Yes. Those sleuths are very sharp. Their deduction level is insane. If you murdered someone, and the victim’s family hired a private detective, know that you are going to be found."
"I see. And the military has ten divisions in total and they are free to do anything they want? They are only answerable to those five high Dukes and the King?"
"Yes. The military is the second King here. They were the ones who give their life when something happens to the Kingdom after all."
"And the Abyssal Butchers division isn’t even answerable to the Five high Dukes. They only pay heed to the King, right?"
"Yes. They only hear the King’s order. And sometimes, they could even refuse him. They have this much authority because they are constantly playing with Death. If the King wants to kill another King of some other Kingdom, he sends some members of Abyssal Butchers division and those members finish the thing everytime."
’Finding those five is difficult. I have to join this division at all costs.’
"And there are some villages alongside the roads as well?"
"Yes."
"And there are very few temples or shrines of Gods? Very few people worship them? Is that true?"
"Yes. And those few people are old people. Big and young people don’t care about the Gods. They don’t even believe in them. Including me." Draxus revealed.
"Why?"
"I don’t know. Maybe they just don’t care or they just started believing themselves as Gods."
’I have to know these Gods matter more. Sera didn’t write too much about them.’
"I have learnt the names of all the Cities, Dukes, Counts. And in the first test of this camp, I killed the son of the Duke. He is the Duke of this city. Will he do something?"
"You killed many people in the first test. Who are you talking about?"
"That big fat guy. Who made his hand sword. Whom I blinded. Remember the one who could turn his hands in any weapon he wants?"
"Oh that guy. So he was the son of the Duke."
"Yeah. The Duke’s name is Jack Kaiser. He will definitely come to me for revenge right?"
"He might. But he won’t come to you openly. The military won’t tell him who killed his son. And since his son died in a battle royale, it would be hard to tell who exactly was the killer.
And even if he got to know that you killed him, he can’t take revenge inside the military. He will wait for you to be alone outside this camp and then he will attack you."
"Good enough. There is also the matter with Flashy’s dad. He is a Noble. And talking about Nobles, there are Nobles in every city of every kingdom except Hollow. All cities of every kingdom have ten Nobles and it’s a generational thing. Nobles are bigger than normal people and they get favored by Counts and Dukes because they pay very high taxes to them as compared to normal people.
If an outsider wants to become a Noble then it could only happen when that outsider is filthy rich and when the entire bloodline of an existing Noble perishes. These two conditions have to meet and like that, we will get a new Noble. Right?"
"Totally."
"Alright. That’s a wrap. Now I will remember everything. You can go now." Pablo ended the Q&A session.
Draxus nodded and stood up.
He removed the shadow from around the room and since he was tired, he left the room faster than ever.
Pablo also laid on the bed and drifted to sleep right away.
After five hours.
The Day of the Assignments finally arrived.
KNOCK!
KNOCK!
