Chapter 83.2: Neutral Nations Conference (4)

After the long meeting, I sighed inwardly with a tired face when I saw the King and Prince of Kajor as they fled the conference room.

Anyway, I prevented the war with this.

Since I had clarified that I would support Earth Hill, Kajor would not attack Earth Hill in the future.

Although I had already stopped it, but even in the possibility that the King of Kajor really went crazy and invaded Earth Hill, there wouldn’t be a problem.

All I had to do was really join the war and help Earth Hill.

There was no ability specialized in genocide in war as much as mine.

Of course, I didn’t want to do anything like that, so it was a very good thing to stop the war with just a few words.

And the emperor is really that kind of character…

As shown in the game, he was a very snarky person.

In fact, there was another reason Kajor could declare war openly on Earth Hill this time.

The absence of the hero.

I could make sure of it after mentioning her to the emperor once.

Kajor trying to go to war, the king must have known that the hero wouldn’t be here to stop the situation.

Did Kajor know about it because Santea leaked this information, or did he try to decide based on the reaction at the meeting?

I didn’t know, but that didn’t matter, anyway.

The war with the demons was a long time ago, but the aftermath suffered by the hero in the battle with the demon king continued to affect her.

Therefore, sometimes she had to focus on recovery irregularly to slow it down, and during that period, she couldn’t afford to intervene with worldly affairs.

If the hero was here right now, there’s no way the emperor would have been able to ignore the war issue at today’s meeting.

It would have been nice to have met the hero at this meeting.

I haven’t found the heir yet. But even if it’s out of order, it would probably have been fine to meet and talk to the hero first.

I got up from my seat feeling a little sad.

The King of Earth Hill and Tair, who were still there, slowly approached us.

He looked at me and the Overlord once and bowed respectfully.

“Thank you for helping Earth Hill, Seventh Lord.”

Was it to say thank you?

I had nothing to say, so I just nodded.

Tair, who was standing next to him, asked me.

“…Seventh Lord, can I ask you one thing?”

“Ask.”

“No matter how much I think about it, I don’t know why the Seventh Lord is helping Earth Hill this much.”

The King of Earth Hill looked back at Tair in surprise as if he hadn’t expected to ask openly.

Looking at Tair waiting for an answer with a nervous expression, I pondered what to say.

If one thought about it, this situation was something that could be completely incomprehensible to them.

Why did a Lord block Kajor’s declaration of war even by directly stepping forward, even if it wouldn’t benefit Calderic at all?

In fact, even if I hadn’t met Tair in the Fifth Lord’s Territory, I would have helped Earth Hill.

The biggest reason I helped them was because of the main story of the game, not my debt to Tair.

It’s just that I unintentionally came into contact with Tair, and the reason to help became clearer.

I was going to say thank you for the map at this point, but decided to just stop.

Because the Overlord was listening, I was reluctant to bring up this or that.

“ In the name of my honor as a Lord of Calderic, I don’t have any ulterior motives. So, you can rest assured about that.”

I said to the King of Earth Hill.

It was because after the agenda regarding Kajor was over, he kept looking at me and showing a distraught expression.

He seemed to be misunderstanding that I might have some hidden plan, so I should give him some reassurance.

He shook his head with a puzzled expression as if my words hit the mark.

“I didn’t think of that.”

I moved my gaze to Tair and said.

“The reason I helped Earth Hill is as I said earlier. I don’t want unnecessary confusion on the continent. That’s all.”

Especially since the time was right.

Few people were aware of the shadows that were quietly covering the continent, but I knew very well.

The main story. The full-fledged movement of the demons would take place in a few years, but even now, dangerous movements were taking place all over the continent.

Because of my position, there were often big incidents that came to my ears on its own even if I didn’t look into it.

There were traces of a demon, presumed to be one of the ‘primordial demons’, in the village that was recently slain on the side of Santea.

Even if there was still time left, there was no time to relax.

It was because I didn’t know how my presence might affect the flow of the main story.

That’s why I had to control the variables I could control as much as possible, and keep moving toward my goal without rest.

“I see.”

Tair or the King of Earth Hill didn’t seem to fully believe my words, but it was okay.

A Lord of Calderic wanted peace on the continent.

If the dead tyrant or the Black Sea Empress had said such a thing, I would have laughed out of embarrassment.

I made eye contact with Tair for a moment, then said.

“It’s good that you returned to your kingdom.”

“…”

“There is nothing that can be done even if you continue to avoid things. Don’t forget what I said then, and do your best where you need to be.”

Tair nodded, bewildered.

The Overlord, who had been quietly listening to the conversation, looked at me with an interesting gaze, but ignored it lightly.

I bowed to the King of Earth Hill and went out of the meeting room with the Overlord.

For a long time until the distance increased, I could feel Tair’s gaze looking at me from behind.

later! I’m still editing it. ><
