2-09: The True Intentions of the Alliance and a Maiden’s Heart? (1/6)

The fortress the alliance used as its base was situated in a neighboring country opposite of Damores.

It was a place that would probably be returned to its country in a few days.

In one of the rooms prepared for the representatives was Lilisha, who was currently in the middle of casting several spells.

Although she had trustworthy subordinates stationed here permanently, this was still a place for diplomacy.

It wasnt at all strange for measures to peek or eavesdrop on the representatives here to have been employed in the room.

It was only after thoroughly checking the room and confirming that there nothing of the sort that the princess finally let down her guard and sat herself on a sofa.

Haa Im so tired Its really not easy having to play the part of the bad girl. The princess said as she massaged her own shoulders.

When the maids who have been serving her for a long time saw that, they looked at her coldly.

Who wouldve thought those words could come from the same princess whos been so selfish until just a few months ago? Asked one.

Right? Whats the point of acting like a good kid now? Said another.

Others opinion wont change that quickly, Princess, said a third.

Hah! I dont want to be told that by the very same dogs of that selfish princess, the princess retored.

The master and her servants looked at each other and laughed.

Although there was a distance between them due to their positions, they were still close enough that they could talk without reservation.

Although it was only about 5 months ago that their relationship became like this.

Ugh, Princess. Please dont remind us of that! Wed really just forget about it!Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

Oh? But it was such a beautiful memory to me?

Anyway, Stella. What do you think of the situation?

No nation would willingly walk a dangerous path so that it might find itself pricked by the thickets.

As long as the demon tribe was left alone, the demon tribe wouldnt become the legendary enemy of the humans as spoken of in the legends.

A close inspection of trustworthy historical documents would show that the demon tribe has never been one to attack on their own.

There are also many politicians leery of them actually being followers of the evil god.

Most of the countries were wary of the demon tribe but did not consider them a threat that had be dealt with immediately.

Despite that they could not decline joining the alliance due to the influence of the church and Damores.

Another way to look at this is the church confirming just how many countries they can move with a call, Stella said.

So this alliance really was nothing more than a preparatory step then? If so, then it was a huge success.

The church is really good at stuff like that. Thats why they cant be trusted, the princess said.

When Lilisha thought of how the church did things, her face became suspicious and the atmosphere about her became heavy.

Damores, which is said to have stopped the invasion of the demon tribe, and the church, which possessed adherents throughout the world.

Openly opposing the opinion of the only religious organization of the world and the heroic country that has fought against the demon tribe was simply too poor of a plan no matter which country it was.

Because of that they were able to gather most of the countries into their alliance.

And even with the distrust sowed from this last incident, if the church were to publicly ask for help, the nations of the world would not be able to deny them.

All the more so if their goals generally revolved around the subjugation of humanitys greatest enemy, the demon tribe.

The church, which save for a handful of people, was the head organization of the religion most people adhered to. The power it held was simply too vast.

The boons of manipulating information and impressions for hundreds of years. In a sense, theyre actually stronger than the demon tribe.

Because of that were always having to play catch up. Frankly, its a pain, Stella said.
