Duazul Hui Guo Rou (ドゥアズル＝ホイコーロ, Duazuru Hoikōro) is the 2nd Queen of the Kakin Empire and second wife of Nasubi Hui Guo Rou. She gave him two daughters, Camilla and Tubeppa, and two sons, Luzurus and Halkenburg.[1]
Appearance[]
Queen Duazul has fair wavy hair and wears formal clothing like her children. She always has a gentle look on her face.[2]
Personality[]
Despite being a mother to four Kakin princes, Queen Duazul has no preference for who wins the Succession War, rather choosing to abstain from participating. According to Slakka, she is demure in every way.[2]
Plot[]
Succession Contest arc[]
Queen Duazul's name is first mentioned as mother of 2nd Prince Camilla, 5th Prince Tubeppa, 7th Prince Luzurus, and 9th Prince Halkenburg when Kakin's 14 Princes are first revealed, and is one of King Nasubi's 8 wives, then seen pictured as a silhouette.[3]
Shortly after the departure ceremony, an unknown attacker kills five of Woble's guards. As a result, Kurapika uses his Dowsing Chain on the remaining guards and identifies two guards who are not truly affiliated with Kurapika's employer Oito, one of which is Duazul's man (unnamed). The guards are restrained and divulge the Queens' espionage system to Kurapika, Oito, and Woble's other remaining guard to explain themselves before they are murdered by Sayird when he gets manipulated by Momoze's Guardian Spirit Beast.[4]
Later that day, Zhang Lei sends his soldiers to guard Woble after a meeting with Kurapika, Oito, and Woble, Duazul's man Slakka is instructed to follow them by Mandam, Duazul's coordinator, effectively changing the target of his espionage from Zhang Lei to Woble.[5]
Duazul refuses to assist Camilla in the Succession War
Around the same time, Duazul dines in Room 1002 with Camilla, who gives her instructions to purchase several items of clothing before abruptly pivoting the discussion to Camilla's plans to eliminate Benjamin and Halkenburg. A disheartened Duazul refuses to be involved; however, her daughter vehemently orders her to get involved and to get close to her son. Unbeknownst to them, Benjamin's personal soldier Musse eavesdrops on their conversation.[2]
When her daughter Camilla insists on going to kill Prince Benjamin, Duazul convinces her daughter's guards to stay stationed and let her go.[6]
In her quarters, Tubeppa thinks about Salé-salé not attending the banquet and surmises that he must have been killed, given that he never would have missed performing. And since Benjamin's soldiers were swapped out, she thinks it must mean that she is their next target. She resolves to discover Sale-sale's cause of death and whether he was killed by Nen, hoping to draw up a list of countermeasures. She gives a flash drive to one of her assistants, Heisen, hoping that her giving a mission to someone who has recently awakened to Nen will affect the ability they develop. She considers looking up the shift logs for Benjamin's soldiers but realizes that it would draw suspicion. The same issue arises when she considers getting information from her mother's guard who was spying on Salé-salé, deciding to just talk to her herself in order to circumvent her guards as well as Camilla.[7]
In Luzurus' quarters, Kanjidol's attempt to get more information from the guards proves unsuccessful, and he begins to theorize on his own. He guesses that Shikaku died in front of Room 1007 in order to create a diversion, possibly involving the six guards that Queen Duazul has with Luzurus. Halkenburg may have taken that opportunity to use the guards to do something, but Kanjidol wonders why he wouldn't have just used them to assassinate Luzurus. Two of Duazul's men, Odessa and Gadeau, were sleeping when the incident happened, so he suspects that they did something to Scairt and/or Macne, who were also sleeping at the time. He believes none of Duazul's men know Nen, but says he can't be sure since he's not as good a judge as Furykov.[8]
Kanjidol worries about questioning those four since it would make them suspicious, deciding to wait and see instead. He guesses that they were trying to manipulate Macne to assassinate Luzurus, and if that's the case, he won't interfere since Benjamin would be fine with that. In addition, like Rihan, he considers the danger that Halkenburg poses, and wonders if they should prioritize eliminating him over investigating Luzurus' quarters. But he realizes that patience is key and admires Benjamin and Balsamilco's discipline. He then approaches Basho, asking him if he will cooperate with his investigation. Basho is immediately upfront, saying that he thinks Duazul's men are plotting something and that Macne and Scairt should be put under observation. However, he tells him that Luzurus is opposed to the idea, and that Duazul's secret to success is inaction, adding that Luzurus thinks she doesn't help any Prince.[8]
At 11:45 a.m. on the 10th day of the voyage, Kurapika and Bill invite Longhi into Room 1014's master bedroom in order to privately initiate her with Nen, as they did with her unawakened classmates.[9] Longhi declines the divination as she reveals that she can use Nen and asks Kurapika for his help. She reveals her identity as Beyond's child, and shares that she had learnt of it when her half-sister Makaha had discovered her while she was working for Duazul, after Makaha began her own investigation after finding some things suspicious. She asks for Kurapika's help in investigating her theory that Beyond is the father of one of the 14 Princes, and contracts the terms of Kurapika's assignment and agreement on top of his truce with Tubeppa using her Moonlight Act.[10]

This particular issue arose when their mother Queen Sevanti sent all of Momoze's Hunters and servants to Marayam. Since we only got to see 4/5 of Momoze's Hunters and 2/3 of her servants by that time, we can't say for certain which prince the marked characters initially belonged to. | |
