Reincarnated as the Demon King's Son

Aldred and Stella casted a spell that teleported the four of them away.

Suddenly, the appeared on top of a tall mountain.

"We should be safe here," Aldred said.

"Just what the hell happened? Those scary robots… what are they?" Sofiel asked.

Aldred raised an eyebrow. "Of course those robots are send by Victor to kill you."

"What? How did he make those kind of things?"

"What are you talking about? Those are Duria's military weapons. From what I heard, they are one of the primaries robots used to fight external threats."

"Seriously? I… I did not know. So our country has those kinds of weapon."

"You think your nation isn't capable of creating those?"

"No… I never thought about it."

Aldred looked at Naley. Naley noticed his gaze and sighed. "The information is strictly controlled. Anything about war, the outside world, politics are almost never mentioned. The citizens are fully distracted with entertainments such as cat videos, cute girls punching air, or handsome boys showing their abs. Sometimes there are videos about natures, traveling etc. It depends on the algorithm, but it barely mentioned anything about politics and military."

"So that's why. The entire nation is completely fooled. Controlling the media is like controlling their mind already. But now he tried to control them even deeper using idols and singers."

That was a genius move. In Aldred's past life, dictators would use propaganda and changed the school system to manipulate the thinking of its citizen, but Victor used idols instead. He also strictly controlled the contents distributed in the media which was a classic dictator technique to control the nation.

Anyone realizing this would think that Victor was very intelligent enemy, and that they should tread carefully if they decided to go against him. But Aldred saw otherwise. He saw weakness and fear.

"He has the needs to control the minds of the citizen. That is his weakness."

"How can that be a weakness?" Naley asked.

Aldred simply smiled after hearing that. "Knowing his wants and needs means it's easy for us to annoy him and occupy his mind."

"What is your plan?"

"Listen to me," he said with a grin.

…

It was a calm yet busy day in Duria. The streets and skies were brimming with vehicles as always. People's eyes were stuck on their screen, scrolling through social medias, and finding more entertainment in it than real interaction.

It was a normal day.

But suddenly, rain of papers began. The people began to look away from their floating screen and looked up. Papers filled their vision. It was everywhere.

They grabbed the paper and because of curiosity they began to read the text on it. They thought it was weird that someone would write on papers. Only movies with ancient theme would have something like this.

But as they read the text, they were deeply intrigued. The text contains all kinds of facts about the government, asking questions such as who was the ruler? Why politics rarely discussed in the media, and what was it like outside the country of Duria.

A lot of people threw the paper and went on with their life, but some kept on reading, while others already had theories but kept it in for themselves.

This scene alarmed the police stations around the cities and they sent drones to destroy these papers. Despite that, the ideas were already planted in their minds.

Aldred and Stella kept on dumping hundreds of thousands of papers in every cities. Naley worked hard to delay the police as much as possible.

For a full week, they managed to drop the paper in every corner of Duria.

But after seven days, the police prepared thousands of flame throwers ready to burn all the paper coming down from the sky, rendering them ineffective.

Or so they thought. This act alone made the citizen suspicious. Why the police tried so hard to burn these papers? Those who weren't interested at first, began to ask questions to those who had read it.

And then a lot of people got caught for spreading the information. The citizen were alarmed, and they got even more curios. Soon, low whispers began to spread.

After a month or so, they managed to find ways on how to talk without being monitored. And they also realized now that their actions and thoughts were completely observed.

This angered a lot of people, but they stayed still, waiting for the right opportunity to come.

…

Meanwhile, Aldred, Stella, and Naley were thinking of ways on how to further spread their propaganda.

"Naley, why don't you ask your organization for help?"

"No. We cannot rely on them. You only got me."

"They managed to do a lot over the years. Have some trust in them. We can do so much more with a lot of help."

Naley looked down in silent.

Aldred came to a realization. "There is no organization. Is it?"

Stella looked at Aldred in wonder.

Sofiel was also with them on the mountain, but she understood nothing of the situation.

"All these years. You fought alone? There is no secret underground organization. There are no other members… there is only… you."

"That's right." Naley stood up and looked at him in the eye. "I did it all alone. All these years, I fought, and I fought alone."

Sofiel was shocked to hear that. "I have heard about the Revolution Group. They have done so much damage to the nation. Although I am quite surprised the media never show it, but because I am famous, my fans would sometimes tell me about its existence and told me to be careful."

"You have done a lot of nasty things, they said. You blow up a lot of buildings, but… weirdly a lot of my fans said that you somehow opened their eyes about the state of this nation. But before they could elaborate further, the assistants bots would rush them away."

"Who would have thought that the rebel is only one person."

"Yeah, surprising right? It's hopeless, right? You can go and leave now like everybody else. You have done enough."

Aldred laughed. "Who said I am leaving. Here I am standing with a legend, and you wanted me to leave? No thanks, I am planning to stay."

"What do you mean, a legend?"

"You fought against Victor by yourself. He is someone who can control over millions of robot, each one could kill you in an instant. Not only that, he has surveillance devices all over the nation, and yet you manage outsmart them all. Too bad Victor doesn't try to use magic to track you. If he did, it would be he who find you, not me."

Naley looked at Aldred. The only reason why he managed to track her in her spot was because he used magic, and she did not have counters for that yet.

Meanwhile, Aldred was thinking on how the hell did Naley get away from Victor all these years.

It was close to impossible to keep running for so many years with the amount of information technology Victor had in his hand.

Naley noticed Aldred's gaze and knew what he had in mind.

"There's something I need to tell you."
