"Not long after visiting Tunisia, the Am Empire also dispatched a joint mission to discuss cooperation matters with Tunisia?"
"A rebellion broke out in Tunisia, and the Prime Minister who spoke for the people was imprisoned and killed in a water dungeon?"
"The uprising army started to riot, which led to setbacks in my entire industrial chain plan in Tunisia?"
"The Lokeshi Empire, separated by two nations, is showing signs of disintegration due to internal disagreements?"
"The Sword Master of Lokeshi was murdered by unknown individuals, causing further unrest within the Lokeshi Empire?"
Louis rubbed his temples, his brow slightly furrowed.
Something seems not quite right here?
Although these matters seemed to have little to do with Louis, upon closer examination, he felt very uneasy.
"Tunisian Brotherhood..."
Louis carefully pondered over this term.
The Tunisian Brotherhood resembles more of an extreme organization.
Unlike the Ense Empire, the Tunisian Republic's system has not changed for many years.
To put it visually, Tunisia now is a typical "no cold doors from the upper articles, no aristocratic families in the lower articles."
Compared to the Ense, which has been continuously absorbing new nobility for over a century, their internal conflicts are sharper.
Even at Saint Louis Academy, nearly half of its spots each year are given to talented students from various lower-level academies across Ense.
Though inevitably mixed with some watered-down talent, the channels for advancement within Ense are generally clear.
One need only look at Louis to see this.
Upon identifying Louis' promising potential for development, the royal family never hesitated to invest in talent.
They would even find ways to protect it.
Louis met the civilian genius Yudo Werner at Saint Louis Academy, who was born in a small town.
Yet, this young man, without any backing, was admitted to Saint Louis Academy and became the first in this generation's Sage's Sword major.
People like this have existed in every era.
However, the Tunisian Republic hasn't opened new noble titles to outsiders for years.
Frankly, if left unattended, Tunisia would likely never undergo a top-down reform.
All of Tunisia would become stagnant, giving the middle and lower classes a suffocating sense of despair.
It is this very soil that has allowed the Tunisian Brotherhood to grow and expand.
Initially, the Tunisian Brotherhood was an organization formed spontaneously as a means of self-preservation by people from all walks of life in the middle and lower classes.
"All brothers within the organization, sharing good fortune and adversity!"
With this slogan, large numbers of people from various industries who were bullied by the nobility gathered together.
Even among the nobility, those unhappy with the current stagnation of Tunisia were silently supporting this organization.
Logically speaking, the Ense Empire's visit to the Tunisian Republic for a meeting could invigorate the industry within a small scope, giving more people the chance to break through their social class.
This should have been a great boon for the members of the Tunisian Brotherhood.
However, they were assassinated by members of the Tunisian Brotherhood even before arriving, which seems off.
After all...
Based on the intelligence obtained from the Ense Empire, it is not that there is no expert guidance behind the Tunisian Brotherhood.
Regarding whether to quash the Brotherhood, the Prime Minister of Tunisia, Duke, almost clearly stood on the side of the Tunisian Brotherhood.
"The middle and upper class nobility of Tunisia has already divided up most of the country's pie, unwilling to even share the scraps with the lower class."
"If this continues, unrest within Tunisia will be inevitable."
"The Tunisian Brotherhood's ideology is rather extreme, but no more so than the nobility's collusion."
"If not even the Brotherhood can be tolerated, what do you expect the lowest classes to think?"
This was the question Duke, the Prime Minister, raised three years ago in front of the head of state.
Of course, not in front of all the dignitaries.
Duke, the Prime Minister, was not foolish.
Ruin the facade as well as the substance of the top, and any possibility of negotiation would vanish completely.
It's also because of Duke, the Prime Minister's guidance, that the Brotherhood's various measures stayed within the tolerable range for Tunisia's upper echelons.
Over time, under the Brotherhood's name, they indeed accomplished many practical things for the middle and lower classes.
This matter came to light only after Tunisia's head publicly announced it.
Initially, internal voices in Tunisia speculated that Duke, the Prime Minister, might be punished for this.
But now, the outcome suggests that the basis for the Brotherhood's existence, potentially, might not even be Duke, but rather Tunisia's upper echelons.
This is why Louis, under Mayer's name, was able to garner support from the highest levels in Tunisia.
This time, Louis and his senior wife visited Tunisia to negotiate details of joint development for the coming years, marking the beginning of this transformation.
The future diary explicitly records—
He, representing Saint Louis Academy, mingled with many students from the Tunis National Royal Knight Academy.
Yes, mingled (physically).
Through this competition, many on both sides held mutual admiration.
Especially Joseph Williams, the heir of the Williams Family, a prominent Tunisian clan of this generation.
Later, he introduced Mayer to Joseph.

Subsequently, under Mayer's identity, he reached a series of collaborations with the Williams Family, with related industries starting to shift to Tunisia.
About five years later, a spirited Joseph sat in the glow of the setting sun, leafing through the yearly death tolls in the Giant Demon Tribe, recounting tales of those turbulent years to him.
At 25, adorned in his knight's white robe, wielding a rapier, he led 100 elite troops and, with astounding courage and decisiveness, repelled the attacking Giant Demon army.
From the midst of the enemy, he took the head of the enemy general.
Thereafter, Joseph and Mayer's names echoed throughout Tunisia.
Joseph, stepping into the political arena, actively offered strategies, eagerly hoping to eliminate the Giant Demon Tribe, resolving the western befoulment in one campaign.
Another two years passed; Joseph, having reached higher positions, under his cooperation, successfully eradicated the Giant Demon Tribe, forcing their westward migration.
The Giant Demon Tribe's longstanding threat to Tunisia reached its end, the King of Fury perished in its bud.
Subsequently, leveraging Mayer's Commerce Association, he revitalized Tunisia's stagnant commercial economy.
This not only earned him and Mayer's Commerce Association great renown but also afforded Joseph, who ascended to the upper echelons, the opportunity to initiate reform from top to bottom.
However, this episode of the future diary notably emphasizes the Brotherhood's raids and the death of Tunisia's Prime Minister, Duke.
As for the Brotherhood's raids, when it comes to such heinous acts of capturing and killing another country's heir within Tunisia, someone had to bear responsibility.
Many from the Brotherhood ended up imprisoned because of this.
Even the cooperation between the two countries was now fraught with tension.
And Duke, the steadfast Prime Minister standing alongside the citizens, was suddenly imprisoned and killed by the authorities after voicing for the people.
This incident incited massive unrest across Tunisia's social strata.
Enraged, the Brotherhood began forming a rebel army, leading to riots.
This event significantly hampered his future comprehensive industrial layout in Tunisia.
Neither the raid nor the Prime Minister's death were part of the original events.
Subsequently, even the dissolution of the Lokeshi Empire and the murder of the Empire's legendary Sword Master by an unknown assailant were occurrences never meant to be.
This matter triggered his mistrust.
The Sword Master was exceptionally strong.
Unimaginably strong.
The Sword Master's blade and Sword Saint's sword are acknowledged as the pinnacle of human kingdom's technique.
But the Sword Master was different from the Kulin Sword Saint.
The Kulin Sword Saint's level was capped at LV20.
Yet, the Sword Master was a legend.
A world apart stands between the legendary and the non-legendary.
Especially for humans, a non-legendary race, once someone ascends to legend through their own skills, they tend to surpass many common dragons who climb the ranks through experience.
Monsters like the Sword Master are even more so.
However, such a peerless powerhouse, without knowing who killed him, fell on a lonely silent night, in an unnoticed corner.
Louis slightly widened his eyes:
"It's as if someone is deliberately spreading chaos among the human kingdoms."
