"To Juliana"

It's been a long time since I wrote to people, so there may be some awkward parts.

But what I can tell you right now, I wrote as much as I could.

I feel that I have been supported by you during my life in Virgilia, this city of art.

So, with that in mind, I'll tell you a special secret.

If you want to know more than what's written in this letter, you can gather information on your own.

Because there are people nearby who know me well.

But that human being is like being called the 'Golden Deceased', and he's more of a twist than I am, so I might have a hard time getting information.

I know you already know, but I'm not a rooted Sisalis believer.

If I say it stronger, I am in a position to oppose the idea of 'neo-Sisalis'.

... In this way, I was originally - a follower of the old Cysalis - although I might find out if you were smart.

My home country is an ally of the old Sisalis.

It still remains next to the Sisalis nation.

I was born in the country - a little heavy town house.

By the way, Sisalis is a country made by 'A Hero'.

One of those 'transitional' heroes began to mix the two words' hero 'and' demon king 'in complexity.

Soon after that transition period, the hero created the Sisalis nation with a hunch for the coming of the present era.

And my country is also involved in the establishment of the Sisalis nation.

He was also involved in the operation. - Not until I'm on my way.

When the Sisalis nation went through a mutation that would even be called a 'neocracy', as it is now, my country cut off from the Sisalis nation.

Because the state operations carried out by the Pope were transformed into proprietary ones.

The original philosophy was morphed, and other urban states that were cooperating in state operations in the form of alliances were also excluded under the power of the Pope.

Perhaps' stealing 'the foundation of' Scytherism 'was the cause of the failure in the first place.

My father tried, at first, to teach the Pope, who had begun his rampage.

But I gave up that country because I couldn't hear you at all.

But I haven't given up on myself yet.

Sisalis has a friend of mine.

Sisalis will be ruined one day if he keeps going like this.

In order to help her, we must stop the strengthening that does not fit the height of Sisalis.

Sisalis and Mooseg are different.

Sisalis is gaining momentum just like Mooseg, but its enhancement is not something on a long pile like Mooseg.

Mooseg had been preparing for what was now the 'greatest' for a long time.

By the birth of a long-awaited genius named "Celias-Blood-Mouseg," it exploded, but there is only a decent foundation to support that explosion.

By contrast, Sisalis wasn't ready to go that far.

By one peculiar method, I'm only half-enforced to 'hypertrophy'.

You know one end of it. - The indoctrination.

The Pope of Sisalis possesses' that kind of power '.

So we have to stop the Pope in order to stop the outburst of Sisalis.

I'm responsible for that.

So I'm still in Sisalis.

Sisalis is moving flashy, so we might meet again somewhere.

Besides, you seem to have joined a "flashy group" somehow in this incident, so it's not necessary.

But if you can, I don't want you to come during the vortex of war.

My prediction is that the "Kingdom of Mouseg" and "Sisalis" are going to bump into each other.

Even Virginia was wrong, but we were just lucky this time.

Using Virgilia as an intermediate base, Mouseg will be marching on the southern continent.

The aim is not the eastern continent.

Ahead - the southern continent.

I think he's going to beat the Sisalis, which is a major force in the southern continent, build a major base north and south of the eastern continent, and then pinch and crush the rebel forces in the eastern continent, which are headed by Lemuse and the Three Kingdoms.

... I think I'm saying something extra after all.

If it's in writing, the brush will slip.

Anyway, you should be careful.

Say hello to Melea and the Golden Deceased.

I was taken care of, he said.

- Oh, you can give me this letter directly for anything. It has something to do with them, too.

Well, there's not much point in keeping it hidden, either, because around the Golden Deceased, sooner or later, we'll find the same information.

See you somewhere.

I pray to see you in a peaceful land.

"From Your Clown"

◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇

"I thought it was a more romantic letter. What is it, this letter of slaughter? Sweet stuffing, Caesar, for the clown's sake immersed in the city of art."

Juliana read the letter to the end and was grinning bitterly with tears in her eyes.

A strange grin that can be both merciful and ironic towards those who wrote the letter.

"Ha..., I'm kind of out of power"

"Are you okay?"

From next to Juliana, who folded the letter, Merea said with a face.

"Yeah. I'm fine. I was in the mood for what shocking content was written, but unexpectedly, in a clerical way. I clapped it out, and on the contrary, I just lost my strength."

"Huh?"

Melea curls her eyes intriguingly and puts her neck small.

"Is that okay if I read it?

"Yes, I rather feel like Caesar wants that too"

Juliana wiped her eyes tears with her sleeves, then deliberately shrugged her shoulders and handed Merea a letter.

◆ ◆ ◆

"Well, as for the goodbye letter, it's terrible"

A few minutes rocked by Noel's back.

On the back of a swinging dragon, Merea laughed just like Juliana when she read the letter as she stood cleverly.

"As for the Union of Demon Kings, it's very valuable."

"Caesar seemed oh, and there was something surprisingly addictive about his work. You must have had that vice at the end. Where you hold it, the advantage of holding it back is that it's in the wrong direction."

Juliana held onto her forehead with a small sigh.

At any rate, the expression is bright.

"But you have some profound rhetoric, by the way. Relations with the Pope, with friends? - Shaw."

Then Merea turned around and called Shaw's name.

At the end of his gaze, he said, "Wait a minute. I'm not Miss Elma, but I'm getting dragon drunk, too," says Shaw with a pale face.

"Shaw, is there anything I can teach you about Caesar for free?

"Free......? I... for free? It's like that."

Shaw caught on there and opened his mouth again with a frown root.

"... no, I just wanted to say that I owe Miss Juliana this time, so let's just add a few things. But this isn't free, is it? It's payback for borrowing, so it's not free. You traded for free, or you're a disgrace to the last generation!

Saying with a pale face, Shaw walked in with his posture low to Noel's neck with Melea and Juliana, and received Caesar's letter from Melea.

On his knees, he begins to read the shuddering letter as he maintains an attitude that is not shaken off of Noel.

"Uh."

Shaw opened his mouth less than a dozen seconds after reading the letter.

"Firstly, it is true that Caesar was born an ally of the old Sisalis nation. So," A Little Heavy Town, "he says," Caesar is the royal family of that urban state. "

"Huh?"

"Blah, I'm a princess"

Shaw, come on. I said softly.

That's Melea, too, flattered by the words.

"A princess? Not a prince?

"Uh, that way?... Well, I have to explain from there that it's Melea. You're bad at this kind of place, aren't you? I'm Park Min-jin."

"I'm not sure what it is, but I just found out that you're being so stupid"

"Well done"

Shaw continued pointing at Bi Melea.

"Well, I think there's someone else in here who still thinks he's a man about Caesar, but Caesar's a real woman."

From the back, he said, "What? Was that her? I didn't realize..." I heard Elma and Salman saying, "I've noticed it since I met her several times."

"So I'm a princess. - I'm not saying, however, which country's princess she is. The neighbors of Sisalis are influenced by undulating peripheral terrain, and there are five, so you still don't know where the princess is."

"Right."

It was Juliana, not Melea, who nodded at Shaw's words.

"It used to be six, but the Windsor Trading Country has been destroyed, so there are five neighboring countries."

- You know me well.

Shaw can praise Juliana's knowledge with a smile on his face.

"Anyway, somewhere in those five countries is Caesar's home country. Well, if you compare the information written here with the current situation, it's not as difficult an issue as it sounds. I guess I wrote it with the intention that Caesar wouldn't mind finding out otherwise. Or, - did you want someone to know?"

Shaw folded the letter again and returned it to Juliana.

"And, well, for one thing, can you give me a break in this area today? I think I'm gonna throw up again!

Shaw gets his thumbs up all the time and sticks them against Noel's back.

"Uh... but the information we get from Caesar is pretty important to us [the Union of Demon Kings], so we just have to get back to Lemuse and tell. Lady Lilium at the head of The Demon King's Knowledge (Razras) will have to work hard again. But now I want to get out of here anyway. I want to go home to the castle soon..."

"Ha, right. Let's get back to Lemuse first. Everyone's waiting at Startree Castle."

"One way or the other, it's Demon King's Castle."

"You really don't sound good..."

"It's easy to understand, though"

That's how the conversation was interrupted once.

"Ah."

Then, unexpectedly, Juliana looks up into the sky and finds something.

"Is that the Winged Lion?"

Juliana glanced up at the sky and pointed at her fingers, softening her watery hair.

- Sounds like it.

A winged lion appeared from a thick cloud gap that could be shaped even at night, until Merea looked up.

The lion drops altitude from the sky and approaches Noel.

The flying speed is also considerable, so it is no less than the disease of a groundhose.

"Gah."

and Noel brings his neck and turns his dragon's eye toward Griffon.

Immediately after,

"Nga!"

Noel jumped.

It's like a challenging jump, not to mention that you don't want to lose to a side-by-side griffon.

"Whoa."

Shaw screams again, approaching the sky as Noel's body glimpses.

Sometimes Griffon had lowered altitude, and in the next moment the body of a dragon and a lion approached rapidly.

――

I'm just about to clash, and Griffon bumps his wings like he was surprised and raises his altitude.

A storm brought in by Noel's body disrupted that posture.

"Ahh."

At that time, from Griffon's back, a shadow spilled.

Not within reach, but seeing the figure, Juliana reaches out again.

"- No, you have something to do, too. Now, for once, say goodbye."

But Juliana, in the end, didn't reach out.

Hold down your stretched hand with the other hand and say it with a grin.

Stirred by the aftermath of Noel's leap, Griffon rose altitude to escape and disappeared into the clouds.

"Mr. Merea."

Noel's leap to the top and now begins descending.

In the meantime, Juliana said to Melea.

"Me, one more thing, I want to do more"

"Yeah."

"So I will work hard with you to achieve it"

"Oh well."

"So again, thank you for coming"

"Nice to meet you."

Two grins crossed as the dragon's body danced down to the ground.

Thus, the Union of Demon Kings (Meer-Nesaiah) returns to the White Country Lemuse with two new Demon Kings and their brothers.

It was not long after the demon kings returned that Merea and the others heard from Harsim about the 'new unrest'.

The demon kings have yet to attain peace.

I don't even know if that's what I really get.

But they keep moving forward.

Everyone desperately believed that the destination was the future they wanted.

In times of war, it was just the beginning.
