The Laurel Planter’s Gambit

Hidan stared blankly at Carl for a moment. It would have been worth showing a little courtesy, but Hidan simply couldn't do that. Could this delicate young man really be the 'Laurel Planter' who had personally achieved the impossible victory?

And was this really the monster who received a huge promise that would turn Tumaria upside down in one night?

Although Carl was relatively tall for a nobleman or knight, his physical abilities were not so outstanding that he could gain muscle mass, even through exercise. Thanks to that, when Carl took off his armor and Hidan saw him for the first time, he looked like a young gentleman who was busy enjoying drinking and women.

But that impression was only temporary. Only after meeting Carl's unwavering, sunken eyes could Hidan finally admit that he was indeed the 'Laurel Planter' who had united the eastern part of the empire in just one year.
