The world is in chaos, intrigues and plots permeates the world politics, the world powers unfold their agendas

It seems like the world is about to enter into another period of chaos.

But Azief, the person who could solve all of this, seems unconcerned about everything that is happening in the world. He is still inside that white mansion and he seems to been enjoying his life while outside the killings never stopped

There is a butler standing beside him slowly presenting him a newspaper.

Azief nodded and gesture with his hand to be dismissed

"there is no need for this" Azief said with a sigh.

But he could not really stop these people doing this.

Most of them feel awe and fear when facing him so he understood why these people act like this.

If he wanted the newspaper, he could just wave his hand and the newspaper would flew to his hand

He blames this on Sina education of her hired hands

Azief opens up the newspaper.

Yes, newspapers.

But this newspaper only have two pages.

But these two pages could be slide over like an interactive smart screen.

But it really is made of paper.

Azief did not know that there is such a thing.

Most of the time he preferred direct report or those thought transmitting orbs

This is the first time he had seen such a thing.

Azief could only attributed this to the peace.

While there is still wars in the world, most of the people in the world right now has settled to some kind of peace.

The pain and wound of war is still there and there is still many people that are hurting and wounded by the past.

But there is also many that is bravely facing this new world.

He had a long talk with Sina this past few days.

And he had learned from Sina that she is studying psychology.

It turns out even though the world had changed, the sickness of the mind evolve with it. Sometimes even more dangerously.

Because in a world of magic, mental illness sometimes could also be associated with magical component.

But one thing is true whether it is the world before the fall or after the fall.

There is many people that are wounded, and there is many people that is hurting, but there is not so many people that wanted to heal the world.

There is many people that wanted to conquer it, dominate it, control it but not so many people that wanted to heal it.

Sina wanted to create a centre for psychological help in Pandemonium.

She had plans for it.

She has many acolytes that also shares her passion and the plan is already underway.

The staff is ready and all of the supplies is ready to be deployed. The building would at least be three months or more to equipped it with all defensive measure

That is until the war suddenly happens and the plans had to be scrapped.

War...as she put it...created most patients. Whether the one on the external or the internal, whether on the body or on the mind. Those who are hurt on the physical side is easy to heal

It is visible. Those who are suffering in the mind....is hard to heal. Sometimes, it is permanent. And you need to learn to live with it instead of treating it like an enemy.

"the world had changed a lot in the years I was gone" Azief mutters as he slides the pages and the topic changes.

It is a monster outbreak in World Government that was swiftly subdued by the Monster Suppression Corps.

Only thirteen civilians were injured and there were no death.

"hmm....is it really only thirteen?" Azief knows sometimes to reduce panic the true numbers would not be reported.

Minimize news of failure, exaggerate victories.

This kind of tactic is even more effectively used if you control the media. Most people would not do due diligence.

Most of the problem of why common people believed some nonsensical statements by powerful people in power is simply because the media created the psychosis.

Of course, human laziness is also a factor but there is so much one could do in a day that one would rarely contradict the due diligence done by government.

World Government itself is known to use propaganda to their side.

If they could not supress the truth, they distort it.

If they could not let it be buried, then they have to minimize the damage.

This has always been the case

So, he wonders whether the same thing happens with this matter.

He only thought of this for a few seconds before thinking about something else.

Then he slides the page and he frowns.

It is an article titled Death Monarch Disappearance? The Reason Is....

It is an opinion piece.

"Even after the Fall there is this kind of clickbait title. No, it is not really clickbait. Maybe...swipe worthy?" Azief chuckles at himself asking such question

"The whole world is asking question" Sina is muttering.

She is muttering.

But she is asking him

What does he thought?

After a week, what does he thought? She probably knows asking him to forget what he wanted to do is useless.

But it would not stop her trying to discourage him

Azief sighed as he looks at Sina in front of him.

Instead of sitting side by side, they seat each other facing one another.

The table is a square long table.

Usually, Sina would sit on the head seat. But since only two of them are here, there is no need for such spectacle.

So, they sit facing each other. It is easier to talk and look at each other than if they were sitting on one end of the seat

"we are having breakfast. It is too heavy of a conversation for breakfast, don’t you think?"

Sina look at Azief and she simply smiles

"I just hope you know what you are doing. I will not nag you trying to kill yourself, but it has been a week. Do you need more time?"

Azief chuckles

"You have such little faith for me"

"I am just worried" Azief just shakes his head.

They are having a breakfast. Sina has many android servers in this mansion.

There is also a few elementals that is serving the mansion.

But food....food is still something that only humans could make with different kind of variety.

And Sina herself would not like living in a huge mansion alone without any interactions.

So, she hires many orphans and refugees.

If they have enough money and wanted to strike out in the world, Sina would usually let them resign.

In a way, this is a way for Sina to support these people.

If they are talented Sina would even teaches them the method of alchemy.

If they are talented in fighting Sina could give them opportunity to enter the military or become one of the elites’ fighters for the imperial guards

If they have a sharp mind, she would recruit them for the civil service. In a way Sina is helping these people. But if these people do not like it, Sina does not force them

All of them are loyal to Sina and all of them do not have loose lips.

These servants were not here yesterday. Because they all have a vacation yesterday. And only Sina was at home yesterday.

It is quite coincidental that the day when Azief came here, is the day when these servants were having a vacation.

Imagine their shock when they arrived to work today and found Death Monarch in the mansion.

Most of them had only heard his stories or watch his face in some broadcast and has never see him face to face.

Most of them were so nervous that they trembled with fear.

All of them prostrate in fear.

It takes some time for Sina to reassure them and make the work as usual.

Today breakfast is made by one of the old chef in Sina employ.

Azief was never a breakfast person.

Sina however is a breakfast person.

Even though she never really needed to eat with her current cultivation, she still craves it.

And so, there is a very fluffy bread and a cup of coffee

Azief look at it and eat the bread quite quickly.

But then he sighed.

He is not that fond of bread.

If he had to have a breakfast, he wanted nasi lemak and Teh Tarik

"It is understandable that they have many questions. They don’t know much. These pundits are probably a mouthpiece of the world powers. Or some other interest. Some of them wanted to reassure the world and some of them wanted to incite panic. Smart men knows to shift the truth from the lies. But wise men knows to listen to it casually."

Azief then put down the newspaper and take the last sip of the coffee.

He waves his hand and the omelette on the table near the door flew gently and landed in front of him. He slowly eats it

"The omelette is good"

"The bread?"

"I prefer nasi lemak" Sina chuckles.

"It is not nasi lemak day. You should have come a week ago. That was carbohydrate day"

"There is still people harvesting and planting rice?"

Sina looks at Azief and then she could not help but chuckles. Yes, Azief even though he is the ruler of Pandemonium, he never really did look at the common people living in Pandemonium that much

If Azief knows what Sina is thinking about he would surely say that is not true. He did know. After all, before he came here, he had seen the people.

But what he sees is not only one aspect of the people.
