Mr. Pantalone has no crazy plans today.

Having completed the basic conditions, Zhidong entered another period of rapid development and prosperity, which brought a long-awaited period of peace back to the people of Zhidong.

However, what appeared calm to others was merely an illusion to Pantalone.

The real undercurrents are only now beginning to stir; the storms are brewing slowly in the untouchable darkness.

After Pantalone's letter of recommendation to the chief magistrate "The Clown" was approved, it stirred up quite a commotion among the Fools once again.

No one could ignore the fact that there was one more person standing at the pinnacle of power in the Winter Kingdom, representing the Ice Queen's will and power among the Fools.

Many people have focused their attention on the newest rookie executive, wondering what kind of person this new executive is.

Fortunately, they didn't have to wait long. Soon after, the awarding ceremony for executive officers arrived, under the watchful eyes of everyone.

As expected, the young warrior who was renowned in the army of the Fools stepped onto this stage.

Upon seeing the new executive officer, most people couldn't help but have a certain understanding of this young new executive officer in their hearts.

Although the identity of this new Executor of the Fools was unexpected for many, it made perfect sense when they saw that it was actually this young warrior.

If you're part of the Fools, you can't possibly not have heard of them.

That young warrior, who was always charging into battle on the front lines, constantly at the center of fighting and killing, was always so willful and unruly, yet he was also able to complete his missions exceptionally well.

Anyone who has worked with him or even heard of his name has a headache because of his existence, yet no one would question the formidable strength of this young warrior.

Every bit of fame this young warrior possessed was not a boastful empty title, but a genuine achievement, earned bit by bit on the battlefield with his blood-stained blade and his own hands.

This means that even if someone doesn't like him, they would never question the formidable strength of this young warrior.

For the Winter Solstice, what they believe in is not some ethereal thing like glory, but a pure, iron-fisted system of meritocracy, which makes them formidable when facing forces stronger than themselves.

What convinced them, more than the identity of the executive officer, was their formidable strength.

Rather than saying they believed in and obeyed the executives, it would be more accurate to say they believed in the executives' power; someone without power would never be worthy of being an executive.

The mere existence of the nominal title of executive officer is insufficient to convince the many proud foolish colleagues.

Therefore, even among the many different opinions, the evaluation of this young soldier is mixed.

Among these voices were expressions of admiration for the young soldier, criticisms of him, and condemnations of his conduct.

Among these many subtle voices, there was not a single one questioning the outcome.

The decision was made by Piero, the "clown" who was the original executor and commander of the Fools, as well as their leader, and was also the result approved by the Queen of Winter.

No one will question any of this, even if the result is not satisfactory to everyone.

Even so, no one stood up to oppose this outcome, which is precisely an affirmation and obedience to the strong.

So on the day of the Fatui Enforcers' training ceremony, the young warriors of the Fatui received medals symbolizing honor, and were also given proof of that power.

Before the cold and solemn goddess "Ice Queen," the Fatui's first executor, "The Clown," personally pinned this badge on him.

That was the reward for defeating the terrifying monster, and also a memento of countless battles.

But he did not feel joy about it; it was an honor that a soldier deserved.

The young soldier, filled with reverence, looked up at the god who held a disdainful posture, his eyes filled with pure coldness, and whose sharp, arrogant gaze looked down upon him.

The hopeful young man offered his oath of loyalty to the god he served and to the only empress of the Winter Kingdom.

Thus, the boy named Ajax became the eleventh executive officer of the Fools and was given the title "Prince" Tartaglia.

The other executives gave this new colleague a variety of subtle expressions, but the young warrior who had just become "Prince" Datalia didn't care about the gazes or opinions of others.

Only Pantalone, who witnessed D'Artagnan becoming "Prince" firsthand, saw all of this but never commented on it.

He knew that when this young warrior became the new "Prince" D'Artagnan, everything would be completely different, and the gears of fate would be turning in a completely different direction.

But Pantalone did not stop there. After everything settled down, he knew that he had another thing to do.

In a sense, this was something he had planned to do from the very beginning, ever since his meeting with the "princess" of the Abyss.

In a sense, this was also one of the contracts he made with that "princess".

The reason he hadn't done it before was quite simple: the time wasn't right yet. Now that the time was right, it was time for him to take action.

As one of two meteorites that descended from outside this world, the other of the twins.

The blood relative of that "princess" from the abyss, another traveler about to embark on a journey.

The moment the name came to mind for Pantalone, as he walked along the corridors of the Winter Palace gazing up at the cold moonlight, a profound and unfathomable look appeared in his eyes.

The existence of that traveler signifies that the predetermined stage and script of this world are about to unfold, but he does not intend to act according to the original script.

Only those who can defy fate can rewrite the predetermined script, and the other of the twins is one of the key anchors for him to modify the predetermined script of this world.

He needs someone who can replace him and allow him to escape everything.

The blood relative of that "princess" from the abyss, the other of the twins who is about to awaken, is an important step in what he is about to do.

He will use his own hands to paint the fate of this world in his own colors, and use his own brush to freely scribble on this canvas. This is what he is going to do, and it is something only he can do.

Just as he once told the "clown," he would end it all.

Now is the first step for him to put everything he has said into action and prepare to make it a reality.

For this reason, he has already prepared and woven a completely different script for the other twin who is about to awaken, just waiting for the other to wake up from his slumber and enter the game.
