Episode 5 [Black Dragon Olivia](3)
The year 1409 of the Lafrikaan Empire. Late autumn.
Black Dragon Olivia was in a very bad mood right now.
Tapping, tapping the armrest of her throne with her fingernails, she bit her teeth nervously.
The reason is none other than Dante’s absence.
“…Ah Sifal!”
Wow!
Olivia ended up throwing away the stack of papers she was reading.
◇
This morning, a letter came to Mawangseong.
The sender is none other than Mars Agramon, the emperor of the Achaean Empire, another country located in the southeast of the Lafrican Empire.
The two empires signed an alliance treaty with the former demon king Beelzebub XII and had a cooperative relationship for a long time, but when Beelzebub died and Olivia ascended the throne, the alliance naturally fizzled out.
The Achaean Empire had a much stronger military power than the Rafrican Empire.
However, it was blocked on three sides by steep mountains, so it suffered great difficulties in trade.
Therefore, Emperor Mars made a request to Beelzebub, the demon king of the nearby empire.
I will protect you from attack by other countries. Twice a year, donate your crops, grain, steel, gold, silver, and other commodities.
It was a well-spoken request, but in fact it was more like a threat based on the empire’s military power.
Twice a year, isn’t this almost level of robbery?
However, Beelzebub XII, who valued peace in the country, had no choice but to accept the conditions of Emperor Mars in order to prevent war.
It was as easy as grabbing a rod that could cut through to the marrow.
One day, Mars heard that Beelzebub had died.
Well, it didn’t matter.
Because no matter who ascended the throne, he only needed to receive the promised tribute.
However, he himself is a king with a pretty tolerant personality.
Beelzebub’s death must have left the Rafrican Empire in chaos, so it was clear that it would take some time to sort things out.
Once the country is stable, the new king will naturally seek allies from his empire, unless war is desired.
Whether it was desired or not.
He just had to relax and wait, as he had done before.
However, if there was one thing Emperor Mars overlooked, it was that he didn’t care at all about who was crowned the new demon king of the Lafrican Empire.
Olivia, the dragon, couldn’t ask for an alliance with her only human emperor, and in the first place, she didn’t even care what kind of relationship the Achaia Empire and Rafrican Empire have been maintaining lately.
Because Olivia was the only one in this world that cared about her.
Two years have passed since she ascended the throne, and Emperor Mars, enraged at the Rafri Khan Empire, who has not contacted her even though they patiently waited for her long years without any prompting,
In the end, I had to pay for hastening my own lifespan.
◇
The summary of what was written in the letter was as follows.
I’m Mars, the emperor of the Achaean Empire. Why did you wait patiently until you were able to fix everything because your country was in trouble?
Now, the king of the Rafrican Empire must send an envoy to the Achaean Empire to conclude an alliance treaty, otherwise it will be a f*cking war.
Why, you guys are stronger when twisted.
After reading her letter, Olivia was furious.
She was so angry that when she hit her pillar with her fist, her entire demon castle shook.
How dare an insignificant human being say such a thing to himself?
Dante manages to calm down Olivia, who is furious with the idea of making the Achaean Empire disappear from the map forever.
Making countless citizens of the Achaean Empire unemployed is too much, so he decided to solve it in the most peaceful way possible, and he applied, saying that he would go to the Achaean Empire as an envoy.
He said he would go and tell Olivia’s will.
Naturally, she shouted NO, but Olivia blew the ok sign after Dante threatened to bite her tongue if she didn’t allow it.
The point of view again is the present, about an hour after Dante departed for the Achaean Empire.
From noble mtl dot com
She was biting her fingernails nervously.
It was clear that Dante, a small and fragile human with guts bigger than a dragon’s snout, would surely do something stupid again.
If that child were to get hurt, he himself would ───
“………It’s f*cking damn right to fall in love once, really.”
Clang!
Olivia broke her window and jumped under her.
