The Academy’s Weapon Replicator

That solution, of course, included eliminating Lily.

He didn't necessarily have to kill her himself. If he had revealed Lily's identity as a devil to the Empire and set the Imperial Palace in motion, the citizens would have become aware of the possibility of devils lurking within the Empire.

Naturally, the entire Empire would have mobilized, making it easier to find the hidden devils. Additionally, it would have been much simpler to put pressure on the Dark Guild associated with Lily.

Gregory had made it clear that he wouldn't mind if Frondier killed Lily. He even suggested it might be the right decision.

However, it had to be a decision made with sound judgment. That was what Gregory expected from the Frondier he knew.

"I was angry with you, and I exhausted my mental energy trying to suppress that anger, leading to poor judgment. Thanks to that, I ended up struggling alone to find the devils in the Empire."
