"A messenger from a neighboring country is coming to ......?
"Yes, Mr. Berne. We have sent away the messengers so far, but they insist on seeing you, Mr. Bern. ......
After finishing his lunch, Bern was visited by a troubled squire.
He was told that a messenger from a neighboring country was coming to see him.
Until now, Latota has blatantly refused to have anything to do with other countries.
This was a result of the country's self-protection to prevent Bern from being exposed as a vixen.
He has used a variety of excuses to avoid the questions of the people in the past, and he will probably turn them away this time as well.
You say you really want to see him. Did you get his details?
Yes. It seems to be about the dungeon I told you about. It seems that our neighbors are as aware of its existence as we are. ......
"...... Shit.
"...... Mr. Berne? What did you say to me, ......?
No, it's nothing.
Bern took a breath to regain his composure.
I've only recently figured out where Aria lives, Dystopia.
The dungeon that the neighboring country is concerned about is also expected to be this place called Dystopia.
In that case, the neighboring country was the enemy.
So, ......, what should we do? You can refuse as you have in the past, but I think it would be better to cooperate with the neighboring countries to conquer the dungeon.
(What should I do? It's okay to refuse, but ...... it might be getting tougher. Rather, I wonder if I'll be praised if I have a meeting with the demon king and round up all the adventurers from the neighboring countries. ......)
The future is unfolding in Bern's mind.
The adventurers are just pawns for Bern to protect himself, so he is willing to make some sacrifices.
Everything was being thought of with Aria at the center.
I understand. Let's meet the messenger. Please wait a moment while I make preparations.
"Yes, sir. I'll tell the messenger that.
With those words, the servant left the room.
Perhaps he was hoping for help with the dungeon.
Before Bern could change his mind, the squire was out of sight.
