**(AU) The world breathed a sigh of relief. The Chimera ants, once monsters, now sought peace. No more massacres in East Gorteau; they retreated to a secluded home, far from the Balsa islands. It was an uneasy truce, but humanity adapted. The Royal Guards settled into domesticity: Pouf and Pitou managed the household, while Meruem and Youpi lounged, occasionally lifting a finger for chores. Yet, a shadow of defeat lingered over the King—he still could not best the blind girl, Komugi, in Gungi. A source of quiet frustration for the guards, especially Pouf.**
