'Thank you for taking the time to visit me on such short notice. King Zeldia.
In the throne room of the Humane Kingdom, it is Virum who is hanging his head in a posture of worship in the throne room.
Behind him are Radia and Geord, with Meldina, Cunaria and Oma further back.
And I can also see Miselio's figure on Meldina's shoulder.
After that, what awaited Vilm and the others, who arrived in the Humane Kingdom before noon the next day as planned, was the Third Knights led by Lieselotte.
It seems that Zeldia read the letter and gave them instructions, and they were allowed into the throne room with little to no waiting.
Since it is impossible to bring all of the Dizenaire soldiers into the country, they are waiting outside the city walls, but we have collected food and other camping supplies for the Rastabel army's expedition, so there should be no problem.
''King Zeldia, I thank you as well. I am truly grateful.
Your friend Lord Wilm, who is a friend of my country, and the famous King Ziold, the great king, have come to discuss this matter. I won't refuse them, unless I have something to say. Now, you mentioned in your letter that you had something to report and a favor to ask...?
Yes, sir. But before you say anything about those things, you must first apologize...
The people of the Humane Kingdom questioned Virum's appearance as he bowed his head with an apology, but as they listened to the story he told them, their expressions became gradually tinted with astonishment.
I told you before that my own (Vilm) birth was a lie, and that I was raised in the depths of the Demon Fog Forest - a place where spirits dwell.
In order to protect his family from power-seeking adventurers and other powerful people, he hid his village from them.
The rise of the Rastabel Empire was due to the development of a special weapon, and the Dizenaire Demon Empire was invaded by it.
In order to use this weapon, they needed the life energy of the spirits living in the Demon Fog Forest, and since they were targeting the spirits living in the Demon Fog Forest, they defeated them.
Since we were unable to completely eradicate the hostile forces, we have decided that the leak of information is unavoidable, so we are announcing the existence of the spirit village in a big way in the near future.
When we announce it, we are going to declare our alliance with the Dizenaire Demon Empire as the Servantil Spirit Kingdom.
After talking about the events of the day, Wyrm cut to the chase in front of Zeldir, who was speechless with shock.
''King Zeldia. I would like to end the personal friendship we had before.
""What?"
It's no wonder the heavyweights are in raptures.
They have seen the power of Virum and Hinori up close and personal, so they can't remain calm if that connection might be severed.
''Because, we, the Servantil Spirit Nation, want a counterpart(s) alliance with the Humane Kingdom. And when that alliance is formed....
However, right after the people around them were immensely disappointed, what followed from Virum's mouth were unexpected words.
It's the same level of personal friendship that the Humane Kingdom has with Virum, that is to say, the Servantil Spiritual Kingdom and its ally, the Dizenaire Demon Empire, are in a lower position than the other countries. I guess that's about it.
Furthermore, the allies were said to regularly receive a small amount of rare materials from the Demon Fog Forest.
The too favorable conditions were, on the contrary, enough to stimulate their suspicion.
The Demon Empire of Dizenaire wishes to form an alliance with you. We want to repay your debt of gratitude for saving our lives, without considering the risk of the Servantil Spiritual State exposing its existence to the world. To do so, we need your cooperation.
"....on terms that are not detrimental to us at all. I'd like to join the alliance as well.
However, it seems that only Zeldia had a different way of thinking, and she responded to this story with an immediate decision.
The heavyweights turned their expressions of surprise at Zeldia, but since the king had already made his decision, they couldn't interfere without clear malice.
As a result, the alliance of the Servantil Spirit Kingdom, the Dizenaire Demon Emperor Kingdom and the Humane Kingdom was established here.
''Well, I'm sorry to say that the alliance just formed, but I have something to discuss with King Zeldair.
You want me to...?
Zeldia has a slightly dubious expression on her face because of the fact that it was right after the alliance was formed.
I don't know if it wasn't in the prior meeting, or if Geord also turned his gaze towards Virum, wondering what he was going to say.
The actuality is that this is only a consultation. I won't force you to do anything.
Hmm. Well, I can't say the same without asking.
Now... the Humane Kingdom, as an ally, is asked to assist in the reconstruction of the Dizenaire Demon Empire.
This is a problem that has been bothering even Geord has been struggling with.
During the battle against the Rastabel Empress, all of the areas where the troops had been deployed as defense points had been destroyed by the magic cannons.
Naturally, the castles and castle towns that were the final defense points were also destroyed.
I'd like to say that since we've formed an alliance, I'm going to leave it to you. Right now, we are also rescuing the people of Rastabel, and we don't have the luxury of time in the treasury. Even though they are the country that attacked Dizenaire and Servantil, the people are not to blame. Of course, we'll help them, but we may not be able to do enough to meet their expectations.
Lord Wilm? I'm glad for your feelings, but that would be too much of a burden on the Humane Kingdom. Although we have formed an alliance, it is a bit uncomfortable to ask for support when we have to build a relationship of trust in the future. We will do what we can to rebuild our country, so don't worry about it.
''No, it's enough to hear the answer. Originally, I don't want to put the burden on the Humane Kingdom alone. Right? Dear Sister.
Despite the fact that it wasn't a colorful reply, there was no shade to Virum's expression.
Rather, he smiled an inappropriate smile as if to say that it was expected, and called out to Radia, who was silently waiting right behind him.
After being talked to, Radia walked straight ahead and took up a position next to Virum.
I'm late to introduce myself. I'm late to introduce myself, King Zeldair, my name is Radia. She is Virum's sister, and one of the spirit animals in Servantil Spirit Land. I am glad that you have accepted our alliance proposal.
The air, froze.
Perhaps he dared to suppress his presence so as not to interrupt the discussion.
Unleashed with the self-introduction, it was distinct from the other beings, and felt at least as good or better than Hinori's that he had felt in person before.
''Kakka! Don't be so hard. Hinori seems to have threatened you a lot, but we have no intention of needlessly harming those who don't want to fight us. Besides, you're our allies now, you know?
...?
Perhaps amused by the reaction, Radia, who laughed vigorously, lightly clenched her fist in front of Zeldia's eyes and showed it to her.
Zeldia and the others are drawn to that fist with an expression of not knowing what she is trying to do.
In the next moment, her hand slowly opened, gold in all shapes and sizes poured out of her palm without stopping.
It was a challenge for anyone with earthly magic to create a mineral, but no one had ever succeeded in doing so.
When creating a mineral, excess magic power remains in the mineral that is created, and it is transformed into a completely different substance.
However, there is no doubt that what Radia has just produced is the gold itself, and Zeldia and the others couldn't keep their mouths shut after witnessing this unprecedented and mesmerizing technique in person.
I'll provide funding from the Servantil Spiritual State as well. I'm sure that if you do it too lavishly, the market price of gold will drop, but if it's the amount of money you use for the reconstruction of Dizenaire, there will be no problem.
Although Radia smiled as if the prank had been a success, the shock to the people around her seemed to have gone far beyond that, and it seems to have taken a considerable amount of time for them to regain their senses.
I'm sure there are a lot of people who were relieved to hear that the common sense was overturned many times, but in the end, they were able to build a good relationship with each other.
It should be noted that High Sierra, who wasn't present at the meeting, was locked in her private room because Rumelia found out that she could be smaller and could speak now.
