Neutral Nations Conference (1)
Confederation of the Seintea Empire.
A coalition of several human-centered nations united around the Seintea Empire, and the most central force in the main storyline of the Lhasa worldview.
Calderic does not have direct borders with Saintea.
This is because there were several neutral countries in the middle ground between the two powers.
But even if it was neutral, most of the countries were almost absorbed by Seintea after the demon invasion.
Until now, there were only two countries that could be said to have remained in the camp of practically neutrality.
Earthhill Kingdom and Kashol Kingdom.
Calderic and Seinthea, two countries that claim to be on the verge of neutrality between the two great powers.
There were several political reasons why the two small powers, whose total national power was less than one of Calderik’s monarchy, could remain in the neutral camp until now.
The Neutral Nations Conference, held at Earth Hill, was a gathering place for Calderik, Seintea, and the royal family of such neutral countries.
‘It’s all here.’
I quickly flew to the overlord spirit on the belt, and looked at the overlord’s castle, which had begun to appear in the distance.
As I lowered the altitude and approached the entrance of the castle, I saw the figures of those already out there, the overlord and chief of staff.
The belt dragon flapped its wings and landed right in front of them.
I descended first with a space leap, followed by Ashel, who bowed her head to the Overlord.
“Are you here, Seven Lords?”
The overlord greeted him with an innocent smile as always.
She looked at Ashel once with a strange look, and then immediately shifted her gaze to Ti-yong. stand out in the eyes
“I heard that you went to the Glide Mountains to rescue the Wyverns, are you a Black Wyvern? They have golden eyes just like the 7th Lords.”
When the overlord stared at him, Tiyong quickly turned his head with a look of reluctance for some reason.
In response, she smiled and turned her gaze back to me.
“By the way, 7th lord, I heard that they rode the 2nd lord’s Wyvern together and went together. At the last meeting, the 2nd lord was very anxious to eat, so how did you even become close?”
······ Did you know all that?
I turned the topic around without answering.
“When is the departure?”
“Um, well? As long as the 7th lords don’t matter, shall we leave right now?”
I looked at her attire, who replied indifferently.
As always, she was wearing a black dress. Are you going to go that way?
From now on, I’m heading to a neutral country, but I was a little baffled by the atmosphere that seemed to go out for a drink instead of a meeting.
This is because he knew how to move in a proper procession, rather than roughly in this way.
“Are the only four moving?”
“No. The chief of staff will remain, so there will be three.”
“I thought I would form a procession and move, but it wasn’t.”
The overlord said with a smirk.
“It’s useless and cumbersome. What else do I need to walk on my own?”
It sounded quite arrogant, but there was nothing wrong with it.
In any case, as soon as we arrived at Overlord Castle, it was decided to move to a neutral country immediately.
The overlord brought his own wyvern not long after, and it was a black wyvern just like thi-yong. The only difference was that he had blue eyes.
I asked the overlord.
“Is there any other reason why you want to accompany me to the meeting?”
When I asked my question, she only gave me a strange smile and didn’t answer.
So, I can’t figure it out.
“Well, anyway, shall we start?”
Darkness rolled around the Overlord, and her outfit changed.
Rather than the previous dress, it was a simple and moderately gorgeous dress.
After changing her outfit, she floated up and climbed onto the Wyvern’s back.
I couldn’t help but feel a little alienation while looking at the scene.
It was a fact I already knew that the Overlord also possessed a Wyvern, but it was just because the fact that she rode a Wyvern was just a little strange. Because her race was a race.
wow!
The overlord’s wyvern roared vigorously and first flew into the sky.
I and Ashel, who got on the back of Thiyong again, soon followed and set off.
The distance to neutrality would not take much time since the distance between the monarchy and the monarchy was a little farther.
This time, the Neutral Nations Conference was held in the Kingdom of Earth Hill.
The grand conference, which started with the purpose of promoting mutual solidarity and cooperation, is held in neutral countries every three years.
A place to peacefully discuss the future of the continent, including Calderic, Seintea, and even the royals of neutral countries.
······ Of course, these are only the reasons for making it sound good, and in the end it was a struggle for power.
In particular, given the current situation, I did not think that this meeting would end with a simple nerve war.
It was probably because he was thinking of declaring the cause of war against Earth Hill Kingdom in earnest at this meeting in Kashol Kingdom.
That was also the reason why I was attending this meeting without any hesitation and obediently following the overlord.
‘Earth Hill Kingdom….’
I remembered a man I had met earlier in the Fifth Monarchy.
Teir Bamon, the second prince in the line of the Earth Hill royal family.
If he returns to the royal castle as I said, we will probably meet again at this meeting.
***
“A pathetic bastard. Now he’s crawled into the castle and brazenly pushed his stupid face…”
“············”.
“I don’t want to see you, so get away.”
Longford, the king of Earth Hill, looked at the man with eyes full of love and hatred, and then turned away.
The man, Taylor, nodded his head and walked out of the room.
The kingdom of Earth Hill, the royal castle of the capital Selaf.
Wangseong, who returned after a long time, had not changed at all, but the upcoming meeting had a more serious atmosphere than usual.
Tyr, who somehow made it to the garden outside the palace, let out a small sigh.
‘I’m already regretting it…’
I also wondered if I was just coming back.
After leaving the castle for a long time, he suddenly returned without notice, and there was nothing he could do in this situation.
I’m just in a messed up situation, just wandering around in and around the palace like I am now.
Tyr thought, fiddling with the leaves of the bush.
Originally, I had no intention of returning to the royal palace just because the meeting was approaching. Because there was nothing that his existence would help anyway.
Nevertheless, there was one reason for returning home after a long wandering.
The man I met earlier in the 5th monarchy.
It was because his insignificant words that he called himself the 7th Lord kept circling around for some reason.
‘·······Let me go back to my place.’
What did you mean by that?
He even said that he might one day help Earth Hill in relation to the unusual situation in a neutral country.
Taylor didn’t know anything.
Was that man really the 7th Lord of Calderic, and if so, why is such a great being only interested in himself?
“hey.”
At the voice calling out to him, Tayr suddenly turned his head.
A woman in a neat dress was standing in one of the gardens.
Taylor stared at her for a moment, then smiled faintly.
“What do you mean by your brother, Seri?”
A woman called Rudy responded with a frown on her face.
“Should I treat the idiot who just came back from running around for nearly two years as an older brother?”
“············”.
“So, what are you doing to sell here, brother?”
That’s what she said, but it was she who immediately returned to the title of brother.
Tyr continued to fiddle with the leaf he was touching, and slowly passed the answer.
Seri’s face, seeing the still-distancing look, mixed emotions such as pathetic, sad, and sorry.
She opened her mouth again and asked.
“Why did you suddenly want to come back? He said he would never come back and left.”
“That’s right. Even if it’s not, I’m sorry for making things more cluttered at times like this.”
“I’m not saying that, sir! Who said that now that your brother is back and hates you!”
She groaned and let out a deep sigh.
There was an awkward atmosphere for a moment, followed by a calming voice.
“…why did you leave in the first place? I told you clearly.
“stop.”
Taylor cut off the conversation adamantly.
“Stop it, Seri. You know that wasn’t the problem.”
“············”.
“More than that, why are you doing this here. Are all the preparations finished? No problem?”
The publican couldn’t keep up with what he was saying as he was forced to change the topic.
She calmed her heart by swallowing the frustration that was soaring inside.
“Don’t worry about it. If you don’t have anything or nothing, I’ll have to tell you to know.”
At the blunt reply, Taylor smiled bitterly and said:
“They said that the Saintea side also arrived, and now only Calderik is left.”
“······okay.”
Not only the royal family of each neutral country, but also all the officials of Seintea, including the emperor, arrived at the royal palace yesterday afternoon.
Rudy’s mood subsided even more as an annoying person suddenly came to mind. The first prince of the Kashol Kingdom.
she said to Taylor.
“Anyway, don’t hang around outside for nothing, just sit quietly in your room. Until the meeting is over…”
Then I heard footsteps.
Rudy turned around and frowned at the people approaching this way. Men and women and escorts in colorful bicolor.
“You were here, Princess Publican.”
Among the men and women who approached, the man opened his mouth with a soft smile.
Chordan, the first prince of the Kashol Kingdom, and Olivica, the second princess.
They were one of the representatives of Kashol’s side who had accompanied the King of Kashol to participate in this meeting.
“Even so, I was looking for you. It’s a nice day and I’m going to have tea with the other princes and princesses, how about sitting together?”
Seri took control of her expression as she swallowed the growing irritation inside her.
There was still quite a bit of time left until the meeting, so the neutrals who came to the castle were interacting with each other and strengthening their acquaintance. Focusing on the first prince, Chordan.
In fact, in a situation where the sides were already divided, there were no allies in Earth Hill. She was well aware of that too.
Nevertheless, all of them kept coming and scratching their insides with the obvious purpose of embarrassment in front of them.
“I’m sorry, but I don’t think I’ll have time for that because I’m busy preparing for the meeting.”
“You keep coming out like that? Even now, you look like you’re relaxed, but this is really embarrassing, haha.”
Princess Olivica intervened.
“It would be better not to refuse this time, Princess tax collector. The 5th Prince of Seinthea also agreed to take the time to sit down.”
“······· Is that so?”
“You’re saying you’re going to give me a good opportunity to have a private conversation with someone you love, right?
As she said that, there was a subtle smirk and scorn in her voice.
The imperial family of the Seinthea Empire is a noble being with a different level even for them who are royalty.
It was to show off his friendship with the 5th Prince by providing a place where he could be with the other princes as well as the royal family.
“Ah, yes. Come to think of it, you were there too. Isn’t it Prince Tair, who was the pride of the Bamon royal family?”
Chordan said with a slightly startled tone, as if he had just found Taylor standing next to him.
Seri frowned at the openly sarcastic Tuo.
“I heard that he ran away from the royal castle, but it seems he’s back. How about you, would you like to go together?”
“It’s okay, so I’ll decline.”
Taylor answered immediately with an expressionless face.
Chordan chuckled at him.
“Well, I understand. I hope you don’t intend to reject the princess again, believe me.”
“I’m sorry, but I’ve already said I’m going to decline because I don’t have time.”
Chordan’s eyebrows twitched, and Olivica frowned and snorted.
“Princess publican, do you think there’s anything good about being so stiff? It’s probably not that you don’t know the situation you’re in right now…”
“Okay, Olivica. Let’s go.”
The two turned and walked out of the garden on the road.
“By the way, princess. In what direction do you think this meeting will go?”
Chordan paused for a moment and looked back at Seri.
“It’s a big mistake if you think it’s going to end like the last time, Yuyamu, it’s a big mistake. Don’t you know? In fact, just cause doesn’t really matter. like?”
“············”.
Seri stared at Serdan with a hardened face.
Chordan laughed at her like that.
“Let’s see if we can continue to behave like this after the meeting is over. Then…”
oh oh!
At that moment, a huge roar resounded throughout the castle.
Chordan and Olivica raised their heads in surprise. It was the same with Seri and Taylor.
From the other side of the sky, two huge black objects were flying towards the royal castle.
“Wyvern……?”
Chordan and Olivica, who were staring blankly at the scene, hurriedly left the garden.
The sudden appearance of the Wyvern, in the current situation, it meant only one thing.
Finally, the overlord of Calderic had arrived at the royal castle.
“······The overlord of Calderic.”
“princess tax collector” the best name i have ever heard in mtl translation 😂😂😂
