"Well, before I can give my answer, may you introduce yourself? O Princess?"
For what I just said, Maid who was on the left side of Prince Argenti gasped. Although his face was covered by a mask, but I could still clearly feel his sharp gaze being pointed at
to me.
Replying, I just smiled.
Seemingly sighing deeply, the Maid immediately moved from his place to sit right beside Prince Argenti. While Prince Argenti himself immediately gave space for the Maid to be able to sit.
Removing the veil that covered her head, she now saw long, straight, shiny golden hair. After tidying up her hair for a while, she then undid the mask she was wearing.
"Oh my goodness..."
Not only me, even Luna became shocked after seeing her face. How not? It was a face that no woman should have. Especially to a Princess like
himself.
Normally I would ask her what she actually did to deserve that face. But, considering which Kingdom I am in right now. It was obvious why and who made his face
until it becomes as it is now.
As if he did not care about our reaction, he began to introduce himself.
"First Daughter of Narsist Kingdom, Margarita ol Narsist"
First Princess? Isn't she the one who's all the dresses I bought yesterday? Really, even though I wanted to meet him, but I didn't think it would be like this.
Looking into his golden eyes, I could see the anger he was trying to suppress. However, the anger was not directed at me, but at the person who was not in this room.
"Now I understand. After seeing Princess Margarita, I now fully understand how serious your intentions are.
Okay, again, introduce. The first granddaughter of the Cardinal Witch La Ciel, the Witch of the Ibis Forest, Lavender La Ciel.
I hereby represent Sol Ciel asking for your cooperation as Prince and Princess of Narsist Kingdom. A cooperation to stop this stupid war"
After I introduced myself, it was now the turn of Prince Argenti and Princess Margarita to be surprised.
"Ciel? You mean that Ciel has been the hereditary Leader of Sol Ciel?"
"So then, it seems that after what the whore has said was so taken seriously by Sol Ciel's side that they sent you as a spy"
"Call the man who gave birth to you as a prostitute. It's true, what your Queen said to my Aunt has gone too far"
After we introduced ourselves, it was Luna's turn to introduce herself. But before he could open his mouth, I stopped him.
"Before you give your real name, it's best to wait until this conversation is over. Because giving your real name would be the same as accepting the feelings of Prince Argenti to you. So, please think carefully"
Luna then fell silent. Glancing at Prince Argenti, Luna seemed to think hard what answer she would give.
After delaying this application issue for a while, it was time for us to get into the main topic.
"Witch Lavender, in order to end this war, we should talk about the real reason why this war can be started"
"Oh, so it's not just envy"
Princess Margarita shook her head.
People assumed that the real reason why this war could happen was because the Narsist Kingdom that had long harbored envy towards the Sanguine Kingdom whose entire population had a long life, a naturally beautiful face, as well as of course, youthful. Those are all things that the Narsist Kingdom residents have longed for, especially the King and Queen.
The war finally broke out when there was an Otherworlder who coincidentally had a similar look to the present King of the Narsist Kingdom.
Just with such trivial reasons, a war that finally involved the entire continent ensued.
"The reason why this war could happen, is because the bastard and the prostitute were about to get an artifact that he said was able to make someone immortal"
...are you serious?
Isn't the story of the evil man who was willing to do everything to achieve immortality all too common?
"A artifact capable of granting immortality? Does such a thing really exist?"
"Didn't you know about this?"
I shook my head. Although it is true that I was not long in the Sanguine Kingdom, but if there really is such an artifact, unless it is really hidden then Grandma must be
already told me this.
"Where did you get this info?"
"It was inscribed inside an inscription found inside an ancient ruin that was just below the Palace. The inscription says 'Go into the tower that rises to kahyangan. Conquer all challenges that face. Climb until you reach the top, surely all your wishes will be fulfilled' and from the inscription, the prostitute thought that anything at the top of the tower could make her the most beautiful woman in the world to rival Her Majesty Queen Cascade and get a body that is eternal and youthful"
So, in order to access the tower, the Queen of the Narsist Kingdom seduced her husband, who was a King, into invading the Sanguine Kingdom just so they could monopolize the tower.
Still, it was only this first time that I heard that in Sanguine Kingdom there was a tower that could grant all your wishes just by climbing up to the top... Waitaminute!
"Is that tower you're talking about Tower of Challenge?"
"really so. At first we sent out a request to challenge the tower. It was just that it was always rejected and even the Sanguine Kingdom side said that there was no such tower"
Of course there isn't. The tower no longer exists.
With that I also explained to Prince Argenti and Princess Margarita about the Tower of Challenge and the city... What city is that around that tower that has disappeared from this world because
attack of a Devil (Demon). Of course I did not tell them that the Tower of Challenge was actually transferred to another world and the fact that the Devil (Demon) who was the culprit was my father
by oneself.
Finished telling all that, a shocked expression was created on the faces of the two of them.
"Devil (Demon)? Are you sure it's Satan (Demon) and not Satan (Devil)?"
"It can't be wrong because the person who went to investigate it was my own mother"
Hearing that, Prince Argenti and Princess Margarita could only fall silent. With the tower being the main reason why the Narsist Kingdom was flying the war flag was gone. That is tantamount to saying that this war is the same as free.
"Hi..Hi..Hi..Hi.." -.."
And... Suddenly Princess Margarita laughed grimly.
Thanks to his unusual way of laughing and added to the look he had, making him now look like a sinister demon.
Even Prince Argenti, who was sitting next to her, stepped away from her seat from her brother who was acting strangely. While Luna directly hugged me tightly while
hiding his face behind my body.
"Hi..Hi..Hi..Hi.. HAHAA... HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!"
Okay, this is starting to worry.
"Daughter Margarita, can you calm down now?"
"Ahaha... Hihah... Sorry, hehehe... Just. hihihi... It's just that I'm imagining... Hehe... How the bitch's face when she found out... Hehe... If he never achieves his goal... Hihahaha..."
Well, it's not like I don't understand what Princess Margarita is feeling. Maybe I would have done the same if I had been in his position.
It's just the way he talks the same appearance, it feels like he's watching a scene directly from a horror movie.
While his older brother was laughing himself, Prince Argenti dared himself to sit back even though he ended up sitting at the very end of the sofa to be able to resume this conversation.
"Ehem... If what you say is true, then no matter what happens, our parents will never reach their destination. With that base, we should immediately launch our attack so that no more blood is spilled on this futile battle"
"I understand how you feel, it's just not good if we're in a hurry just because of this. Given that, other than the King and Queen, there is still one more person we should be worried about"
"Ah, right. Pope Senor"
Senor ol Ballena's.
He was the pope of a Church that, instead of worshipping God or the God of the Kahyangan, worshipped King Pulchritudo ol Narsist as if he were a true god.
Simple reason.
With his position as a pope, he could easily move his people to fight and take up arms willingly or use his influence to twist the facts to suit his wishes.
Honestly, I would rather fight one Kingdom than one Religion.
Although Religion is a way for one to gain peace of heart and also enlightenment, if one is in the wrong hands a Religion will become a 'Weapon' strongest because they have 'God' as an excuse to justify any action they take even if it is the most barbaric act.
Even 'The Witch Hunt' that is often told in the world there is also included in the religious sense to divert the issue from the disaster that was then plaguing them and blame everything to the religious
the real girls are innocent by calling them Witches.
That way the foolish people there can vent their frustration at losing their loved ones while the religious parties can relax in their homes while drinking wine.
And what Prince Argenti said next further justifies what I just said.
"Maybe you don't know about this. But, Pope Senor was actually the Brother of our Mother. It can be said that he is our Uncle and the same person who started to make our Father God and asked the people of this Kingdom to worship him"
"Seriously? Uh, so so that's it... Haha... I get it now"
So, the root of all the problems in this Kingdom are the actions of two brothers, Queen Impar and Pope Senor.
Using their good sense, they managed to become part of the Royal Family. With the power they had gained, they seduced and outsmarted the Pulchrititudo King who was most likely at that moment
it is still innocent and foolish to consider himself as a God who deserves to be worshipped.
With her fooled husband, Queen Impar can freely move the entire Kingdom to comply with all her will. Pope Senor, yes. Most likely he did something too
same as his sister did.
"The Lavender Witch, and also... Selene. Actually, I already have a fiancee. And my fiancee was a nun chosen by Pope Senor himself..."
Hm... Judging from the look on his face, Prince Argenti actually did not like this engagement. Not because the girl who became his fiancee was ugly or anything. But because his fiancee was a man from his Uncle which meant there was a hidden purpose and plan of this engagement.
And I'm sure that Luna is also aware of this...
"So, is there something that your Uncle wants from you or is he just not trusting you and intending to send his subordinates to watch over you and curb your actions?"
"That's absolutely right. Pope Senor is also famous for the 'Human Supremacy' movement that he has been vocalizing even long before he became a Pope"
"Ah... And you're famous for your Non-Human fetish... I get it now"
"Please, don't call it a Fetish"
Now I get it.
A descendant of a King who liked to sleep together with a girl of a race other than Human would definitely look inappropriate in the eyes of someone who hated races other than Human.
Therefore, Pope Senor chose his chosen girl to marry Prince Argenti who later served to stop all activities of Prince Argenti which was considered inappropriate in the eyes of the Church.
"So, is the reason you're telling me this is proof that you don't want to keep any secrets from Selene, or do you actually want us to take care of that 'fiancee?"
"If you can, both..."
Ah, so so it is.
Either this is because Prince Argenti really wants to start a serious relationship with Luna until he intends to stop messing with other girls. Or maybe because this 'fiancee' has a face... I don't think that's the case.Maybe the girl who became 'engaged' has a personality or other things that are not liked by Prince Argenti.
"Yes... What kind of person is your fiancee?"
"Oh, what is this? Is there anyone jealous?"
"...just curious"
Oh, Luna... Don't you realize how clear the expression you're making is?
I'm sure that Prince Argenti also realized the same thing because it's really a smile of happiness that he's making right now.
Prince Argenti began to explain.
That girl, Dara Blanco. Is a Nun of the Narsist Church (Yup, that's the name of the Church as well as their religion) is a kind girl, selfless helpful, friendly to 'all' people, and still many 'another compliment' which indicates that this girl named Dara is a girl dream of all Mothers to be used as a daughter-in-law.
If that's all, then there shouldn't be a problem. In fact, Dara may be the most perfect partner for many people.
Well, there are many people besides Prince Argenti.
"As someone who wants to make the Narsist Kingdom a Kingdom that can accept racial diversity as other Kingdoms. The teaching of the Narcissist Religion is the greatest obstacle to my ambition"
And this girl named Dara is a most loyal follower or even not exaggerated if you call her a fanatic.
No matter how good this Dara was, if he saw anyone breaking the teachings of the Church, then he would not hesitate to 'justify it'. As a racist religion, Prince Argenti's lifestyle
the one who liked to play with girls from other races would obviously never be able to accept.
"Luckily Dara was terrible at Magic. Not even a single one of the Skills he possessed exceeded Level 10. It's just that once it opens, its mouth will never stop..."
"Ah, that's right. Once when that damned girl found out that I wasn't part of that obscure religion, she read the contents of her holy book to me for a whole day"
Oh, my gosh.
Even to wake Princess Margarita from her own world. I became curious and did not want to meet this Dara.
"really so. Even once when he visited my Mansion. He endlessly scoffed at all my Servants until no one in the Mansion wanted to deal with him anymore. Even Aranea, ah, he
that's one of my servants. Aranea is famous for being friendly to everyone even to the point of wanting to eat it alive so upset"
Wow, all the Servants in his Mansion were all made up of races other than Humans right? Truly, I did not want to imagine what they had gone through when they had to be told to serve people who were clearly humbling themselves.
When I was confused about what to do about this problem, Luna spoke up again.
"Prince Argenti, are we free to do anything against this girl?"
"Hmm? Oh, aye. Whatever. As long as he can get out of my life then I won't care what his fate will be"
"Whatever yeah"
Whatisthis? Why is Luna acting like this? Can a girl who is eating jealous flames really be like this?
"Say, what do you want to do with that girl?"
"It's not that strange. I just want to hand it over to Milim"
Millim? Ah... I get it now!
"Haha...So clever! You're right, that kind of girl deserves a precept or two from Milim"
Although he seemed confused about what we planned, Prince Argenti did not ask any further and just entrusted everything to us.
After that we stopped talking about complicated topics and just chatted casually while enjoying the snacks provided.
Before forgetting, about the proposal from Prince Argenti to Luna. It was decided that Luna's answer would be delayed until we finished taking care of Prince Argenti's 'Fiancee. Of course Prince Argenti looked sad upon hearing this. But he was patient and willing to wait for an answer from Luna.
Without feeling it was already afternoon and the sun had started to sink.
Accompanied by the light of the afternoon sky, we decided to end the meeting today.
"This was a very useful meeting. It would be hard to think of what gifts we can give you when all the trouble in this Kingdom is over"
"If you want to give us a gift, why not just now? It just so happens that there's something I really want in this Kingdom"
"really? Then please mention, as long as it is still within our power. Then we will gladly grant it"
You heard that, right? He said all requests would be granted as long as they were within reasonable limits.
Well, luckily my request is still within reasonable limits.
"What I want is a territory"
