Maou Gun Saikyou no Majutsushi wa Ningen datta

Both Alistair and I had tea for our after-dinner drink.

I have two cups of sugar, three cups of Alistair, and some milk on top of that.

When she sips on her tea, she starts talking from the core.

"As a matter of fact, I have come to Lord Ike with His Majesty's secret life."

"Is it dense...?

It wasn't surprising, but it's a story of interest.

"I want to ask you what's going on quickly, - but before I do, why did you bring the story to me? If it's an important project, it's quicker to apply to the Demon King for immediate negotiations."

"Oh, that's..."

and she clouds her words.

"We have days to get to Dbolberg, where the Demon King lives. Besides, I broke through the reign of the Demon King's Army and didn't have the courage to meet the Demon King's Palace. And that time."

Surely you'll have the courage to do that.

Women run through areas controlled by demons with small numbers.

If he meets an unclear demon on the way, he will remain in captivity.

I can also think of dying at worst.

It would be foolish to commit such a danger.

"So is there any reason why you didn't go to another Legion leader? There are other Legion leaders on the front line, Negijo."

………………

She nodded as if she had made any determination when she was often silent.

"... To be honest, the last time I saw Lord Ike, I was impressed."

"Impressed..., is it?

"Yes."

and Alistair stares at this one with her straight eyes.

"I was actually going to die after Lord Ike took away my classified documents. No, I've been thinking about when I should die since before that, that's all. He killed many of his men on the battlefield, spoke to His Majesty the King, and shut them down. It has greatly damaged the Rottenmeyer family name. I thought we had to make amends with death."

But she goes on.

"At that time, Lord Ike had some luck in battle. Don't die, I called out to you. Because of that word, now I have my life, and this is how I can help His Majesty the King."

I mean, I'm easier to talk to than the other captains, and I guess he felt it then.

When I interpreted it that way, I urged him to continue the conversation.

"For His Majesty the King, that is the role of this messenger."

"Yes."

"And what's that about?

Alistair answers softly.

"Your Majesty wants peace with the Demon King's army."

"Is it peace?"

It was an unexpected word, but it doesn't show any surprise.

This is a diplomatic place.

It's not a good idea to put emotions on the table like she does.

You should act and speak only in the interest of the Demon King's Army.

"Is that what His Majesty the King of Rosalia wants?

I asked her if she was not moving arbitrarily, with meaning to check.

"Yes, His Majesty Tristan III wants peace with the Demon King's Army. I came here as a messenger."

"… is it peace, that's abrupt"

I have to say that.

Because such stories have never been brought before.

For the rest of the time, is the League of Kings standing in a predicament?

Or do you want to have a negotiating seat while you can to make peace on favourable terms?

I am almost lost in judgment.

My men sometimes treat me like a prophet, but I don't have the power to foresee all things Mori Lu Wan.

It can be predicted to some extent, but it can still come off.

I don't know the truth about this one either.

I just don't have the right to ignore that offer because I don't know.

Alistair is just a messenger, but you should still get a lot of information from her.

I keep talking to her.

"But the Kingdom of Rosalia is an historic kingdom. It is also known on this continent as a column power. Now I don't think His Majesty Tristan will bring peace to the Demon King's army."

"Sure, Your Majesty is a proud man, but he's still a peace-loving man. You said you needed more peace with the Demon King's Army than a prolonged battle for mischief."

"But the Demon King's Army occupies half of the land of Rosalia. And now, the war is somewhat more favorable."

"... what are you trying to say?

Alistair asks.

"I mean, we can make peace or we can tie it under these favorable conditions."

Naturally.

Whatever the war situation, the Demon King's Army is now in its favor.

Bring peace from the other side under that circumstance.

It is the usual means of diplomacy to pluck as much as possible.

Some Legion leaders would also oppose making peace with it.

Especially around Germoor in the 2nd Corps, who will be hard against it, and no other Legion leaders will look good.

If you hit it badly here, there will be civil unrest within the Demon King's Army, and it will be at its worst.

- The possibility cannot be denied either.

Making peace doesn't make sense unless everything in the Demon King's Army achieves a satisfactory outcome.

I asked about it, and Alistair, surprisingly, seemed to know about it.

"Of course, I know that. You bring in peace from here. Your Majesty is prepared to make a compromise."

"To be specific?

"All areas currently controlled by the Demon King's Army will be given to the Demon King's Army. And as a testament to peace, I will give you gold coins for years to come."

When I hear that word, I accidentally leak the word "ho".

complete surrender on the form, is a condition that may be received.

If you can drink the terms, I don't mind depending on peace...

I'm tired of the world of war, and it's not a bad condition.

"Can you put that story into a sentence?

When I cut it out like that, Alistair, of course, takes the text out of her pocket.

"I have not officially signed it, but this is a provisional treaty"

And hand it to me.

I glance at it, but it was still the text as Alistair wrote it.

The flower tag (signature) also seems to be an autograph of Tristan.

Seeing that, at least the king of Rosalia seems willing to get to the negotiating table.

That's what I told Alistair.

"Okay. Let's keep this letter."

"Is it true!?

When I said that, Alistair stepped out of the table and stepped out this way.

I don't feel bad about the beauty's face looming in front of me, but just because she's beautiful, I'm not going to influence the success or failure of the treaty.

Besides, this wasn't about the size of the Legion, it was about the whole Demon King Army.

I can't decide on my own.

The admissibility of this treaty will be up to the Demon King, not me.

When I put that into words, I said, "I'll get confirmation from the Demon King, will you wait a few days?," he asked Alistair.

She said, "Of course!" and broke his face, but there was no evil in his face.

Without having to use the magic of Reading Mind, there would be no lies in her words.

- But what about someone to hold back on her?

Apparently, the king of Rosalia is not a capable king, but a good military teacher or prime minister may be holding back behind him.

I am fully willing to believe Alistair's words, but I did not trust the Kingdom of Rosalia itself.

Anyway, this matter would be a case that cannot be adjudicated at the level of Legion Leader.

As I declared to Alistair, I made my way to talk to my former boss during the transfer to Ivaris.
