145 – Long time no see Eileen
Cassandra sat down facing the Devil’s aides.
Right after that, what Cassandra heard from the Demon King coincided with what she was thinking about earlier.
“exactly… The most important thing at this point is how to drive out those who are attacking the Falcon Empire.”
“Yes, a coup… Now that the rebellion has succeeded, the Falcon Empire will need time to stabilize and a justification for it. Even for this, Cassandra, you have to show us how to win a big victory over those invaders.”
“You got it right, Your Majesty.”
For Cassandra, who is currently wearing a young emperor, what she needed most was justification.
Driving out the invaders of the empire goes beyond simply bringing peace to the country, and is absolutely necessary in that it solidifies her hard-earned power.
Pointing out that fact, the Demon King spoke to her in a calm voice.
“Well, let us help you with that. First of all, regarding the part about the elven kingdoms, we will use our hands diplomatically.”
“that… Would that be possible?”
It was an openly known fact that the current elf church state had become an unofficial vassal state of the Demon Kingdom, but even so, it was unlikely that they, who actually caused this war, would hear the story of the Demon King at this point.
However, in this regard, the Demon King spoke in a voice filled with deep conviction.
“It is possible. Trust us on that and wait and see.”
A demon lord who speaks with a steady voice.
Cassandra had no choice but to have doubts about this in terms of reality, but she decided to trust the demon king for now.
The belief that the head of a country will not lie.
And at the same time, the heavy charisma felt by the demon king who was telling this story made her feel confident that this could be accomplished.
“All right… then. If it is assumed that His Majesty will take care of the elves, what remains will be the Nation of Darkness and the Nation of Beasts… What do His Majesty the Demon King think of them?”
“In the case of Suin-guk, you don’t have to worry that much. Anyway, without the help of the elves, they will continue the siege, but in many ways the crowd will follow.”
“I am of the same opinion. If that’s the case, then our next target will be the Nation of Darkness.”
“It’s not an easy opponent, but with our current strength, it’s worth a try.”
The Nation of Darkness is currently advancing rapidly southward from the north.
Disregarding the fact that they had been evaluated as one step lower than the Empire until now, the power displayed by their army was a level that could never be taken lightly.
“Currently, the total number of troops of the Nation of Darkness invading the Empire is 30,000. Some of them are scattered around and occupying small villages or frontiers, and the main force is on its way down here to Macedonia.”

Macedonia.
It was the second largest city in the Empire and the largest gateway to the ecliptic, and it could be said that once this place was breached, the road leading to Ullympus would be wide open.
“I think it would be good to fight here as well. It is a place that is willing to defend itself and its importance goes without saying.”
“Okay. don’t let that happen.”
After setting the direction for the future work,
Cassandra got up from her seat to put this into action.
It will take time for them to arrive right away, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t much to spare.
In addition, at this moment, Cassandra needed to act as quickly as possible, as she needed to resolve the complaints of another of her partners as quickly as possible.
But then…
“And one more thing.”
“yes?”
The demon lord speaks to Cassandra in a voice that suddenly changes the atmosphere.
Regarding this, Cassandra automatically had no choice but to feel a suspicious feeling.
The demon king spoke to her in a voice that seemed to feel a deep chill unlike before.
“Personally, I would like to ask you, who has become the most powerful man in this country. Would that be possible?”
“Request… do you mean? What is it?”
The demon king started to get lucky with the word “favor”.
But,
Upon hearing this, Cassandra automatically felt that she had little right to say no to it.
It was because the fact that the demon king was asking for something in a situation where he was helping to this extent also meant that it had that much weight.
Feeling the fear that maybe he was asking for something really reckless, Cassandra began to look at the demon king.
towards her,
The demon king spoke in a voice that I couldn’t tell exactly, but felt something heavy.
“There is nothing to be so nervous about. I just want you to hand over one person’s identity. I have a personal business… The identity of a certain girl.”
“!”

High Priest Eileen living in Thebes.
At this moment, in response to the sudden call of the emperor, she had no choice but to hurriedly ride to the ecliptic…
All the while moving like that, the feeling of doubt about her choice was still deep in her head.
‘Such a sudden summon… For what reason?’
She also had some knowledge about the commotion that took place in the ecliptic a few days ago.
In fact, even here in Thebes, we were able to see the red dragon appearing in the sky over the ecliptic.
He also knew that many people, including the emperor, were killed within the imperial capital in the aftermath.
Although General Cassandra, who led the army right after that, rectified the situation and crowned a new emperor, it could not be said that doubts and anxiety about this chaotic political situation had completely subsided.
And, the summoning order for Eileen was issued under such circumstances.
Eileen had no choice but to obey the edict that even had the emperor’s seal on it.
As a result, she wondered and worried.
And the more I thought about it, the more I thought about it, the more I was in the middle of the day, I was moving according to the order.
‘Objectively, you were on good terms with General Cassandra, right? There’s no reason for her to harm me at this point. From that point of view, maybe she’s trying to entrust me with some serious responsibility? In a situation like this, even one more competent person is needed… ‘
Even though she has declined a lot compared to the past, Eileen is maintaining her reputation as a high priest.
As such, she naturally came to think that Cassandra, who had become an unstable supreme power, might be using her to settle public sentiment.
‘If that’s really the case, that’s good for me. It wouldn’t be bad to enjoy a movie of wealth and honor that you couldn’t achieve because you were clinging to a person in power. If that happens, surely Torare too… No, maybe I can meet a better man than that.’
Caught up in such a deep sense of anticipation that broke through her anxiety, Eileen started to ride faster and faster.
Feeling the desire to grab another happiness that is waiting for you in front of you as soon as possible.
Just like that, Eileen arrived at the ecliptic about half a day earlier than usual.
Immediately after that, she headed straight to the imperial castle without even having time to rest.
“This is High Priest Eileen. I’m here to see General Cassandra, so guide me.”
“I was waiting. Please come this way.”
A soldier who carefully starts guiding Eileen from her horse.
Accordingly, she followed him into the castle without any doubt.
A deep sense of anticipation felt with each step.
Without the initial anxiety, feeling as if I could see another happiness waiting for me in front of me,
Eileen opened the door to the location the soldier had guided her to and slowly entered.
and…
“uh?”
The next moment, at the same time as the door closed firmly from behind
Eileen’s face began to harden as she looked at the characters she encountered there.
People sitting in the room looking at her.
They were by no means the first people she had ever seen… At the same time, the mere fact that they were here was enough to give her an immense sense of incongruity.
“What… what? yes… Are you guys demons? you… How are you guys here? thing… there… you… You… no way..?”
Two people wearing black armor and giving off a menacing presence.
And, standing by their side… A character who is familiar but at the same time gives a different feeling.
At the same time as recognizing her face, Aileen’s voice trembled as it was, the person’s name…
The name of an old colleague she had abandoned began to flow.
“Amel… .all?”
“It’s been a while Eileen. Don’t you know how you’ve been?”
“yes… How are you… And that look… A dark elf?”
A situation where the existence that was already considered dead is standing in a very different look.
Eileen, who was deeply shocked by the fact, began to tremble…
Looking at her like that, Amelda said in a calm voice with a smile on her lips.
“What are you so surprised about? You shouldn’t be shocked just like this. Are there any other people here who have business for you?”
“radish… . what… sound… !!”
Amelda’s words, which she couldn’t understand, started to feel even more confusion.
And the next moment
In front of Aileen’s eyes, a person slowly began to take off the helmet she was wearing.
“!! radish… what… ”
“Rurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. .wow! Whoa!”
