Chapter 519: Chapter 386 Beginning of Reform _1 Chapter 519: Chapter 386 Beginning of Reform _1 “……….”

Looking at King Gandhi before him, Duanmu Huai suddenly felt that he should have been holding a feather fan and dropping a line saying, “And now the land is divided in three” or something… Nah, that seemed off the point.

“Isn’t it quite simple?”

To be honest, looking at King Gandhi, Duanmu Huai really didn’t see why it was that difficult. Upon hearing Duanmu Huai’s words, King Gandhi was looking back at him surprised.

“Simple?”

“Oh yes, you’ve already found the crux of the problem, so all you need to do is address it accordingly. Reform the education system, provide other avenues of living for the second-class citizens, chop the heads off of ministers who don’t obey you and replace them with obedient ones, doesn’t that solve the problem?”

Duanmu Huai really didn’t see any difficulty here; after all, the one standing before him was no shoemaker but the King of Seth.

If a king or emperor wants to reform and change things, wouldn’t it be easy to just determine the right direction and use their people?

“Uhm……….”

However, after hearing Duanmu Huai’s proposal, King Gandhi showed an expression of difficulty.

“……… You can’t be that terrible as a king, right?”

Examining King Gandhi’s perturbed expression, Duanmu Huai was flabbergasted.

Could it be that the King of Seth had no real power and was just a puppet?

“To be honest, it’s not that no one in my country supports me, but they’re only a few… ”

King Gandhi let out a sigh; he didn’t have many supporters among the top officials. More importantly, King Gandhi knew that Seth couldn’t afford chaos. The reason is simple: the Demon Clan was watching closely nearby. If Seth descended into chaos, the Demon Clan would take advantage of the situation, and that was something King Gandhi, as the King of Seth, had to prevent with all his might.

“Sigh………”

Duanmu Huai silently sighed.

This was one ineffective king indeed.

“Alright, I do have a strategy that can solve this problem.”

“Oh? Really?”

“Yes, but first, you need to explain to me the power structure of the Kingdom of Seth.”

“Sure, no problem.”

As a king, of course, King Gandhi wasn’t dumb enough not to understand the power structure within his own kingdom, so he quickly explained it to Duanmu Huai.

The power structure within Seth wasn’t complicated. At the very top was naturally King Gandhi himself, and below him were Seth’s four most powerful magicians, who were also known as the Four Heavenly Kings of Seth: Yamada Chizuko, Nagi S. Lakar, Majeko Ze Gandhi, and Papaya Saba.

Duanmu Huai had met both Chizuko and Majeko; the former was a woman dressed as colorful as a peacock, the latter was King Gandhi’s daughter who had taken him to the Demon Beast User Testing Ground earlier.

According to King Gandhi, in his absence, the Four Heavenly Kings would make the final decisions. Still, in reality, only Chizuko was responsible for handling political affairs. Majeko hadn’t graduated yet and was focused on her studies, and Nagi and Papaya weren’t interested in these matters.

Below the Four Heavenly Kings were Noah Marseille, the Intelligence Chief, Judiciary Commissioner Istula, Military Commissioner Nagili, Finance Commissioner Cruji, and Education Minister Laton.

These five were staunch discriminators. However, they held significant power, so even King Gandhi could do nothing about them.

Chihuako was a die-hard supporter of King Gandhi, and because of this, she was able to repeatedly control the ludicrous proposals from the five officials below. But as a king, King Gandhi couldn’t take action against these people.

However, from Duanmu Huai’s perspective…the solution to this problem was actually quite simple.

“If those guys don’t obey, then just kill them and install the obedient ones, right?”

“It’s not that easy.”

King Gandhi responded with a bitter smile, shaking his head.

“Theirs is a deeply entrenched influence in the country, confronting them might very well cause internal strife in Seth…”

“Nothing can be accomplished if you’re always worrying about the consequences.”

Duanmu Huai interrupted King Gandhi’s words.

“Since ancient times, every country’s reforms involve bloodshed. Where no blood is shed for reform’s sake, that country is doomed to failure.”

“…Are you suggesting………”

“If there are opponents, just kill them.”

Duanmu Huai replied lightly. Even though King Gandhi was prepared for this, he couldn’t help but feel a chill in his heart upon hearing Duanmu Huai’s words.

“Of course, if you can’t do it, I can help…if a king kills his subjects, there might be suspicion of tyranny. However, a ‘hero’ with a sense of justice taking action to punish the evil and promote the good would also achieve the same result.”

“This………..”

“Moreover, I can provide you with an interesting piece of news.”

“Oh?”

Upon hearing this, King Gandhi paused a bit.

“Interesting news?”

“You know I killed Sahamu, right.”

Duanmu Huai glanced at Sho to his side, nonchalantly asking, and King Gandhi nodded with a complicated expression; of course, he had learned about this from Sho.

“So you should know that Sahamu was only acting on someone’s orders. The person who really came up with this game was Education Minister Laton’s daughter, Emmy. I heard she and Sahamu were engaged to be married. If Sahamu’s father found out about this, do you think he and Laton could still get along?”

“This……”

Upon hearing this, King Gandhi’s face instantly became serious. Indeed, he knew how much Finance Commissioner Ziluji loved his son. After his son’s death, according to Chizuko’s report, Ziluji even lost his mind and wanted to kill all second-class citizens. If he found out that this had something to do with his son’s fiancee, then…
