The arrangement was done Mavis gave to the summoned creatures. With their respective tasks assigned to them, they have been adapted to their possible skills and matches. For example, the Moon and the Stars who have sneak and scout skills will be the scout squad and messengers, Ozzi and Akio who have sword skills and compatibility are given the task of becoming a sword instructor, Samantha becomes the head of the community court, then Lily who has specifications in the health sector will become a medical expert.
While the rest who did not so have a meaningful match, were given a task by Mavis at random. As Mikaela and Sera will be assigned to be Mavis' bodyguards on the surface and Wed will be the military leader. With the twins Becky and Becca, the two are given the task of preparing clothes, cleaning the room, and other small things to ensure the comfort of Mavis while in the new place.
"I can't wait to see what kind of conditions there are." Mavis smiled and looked back at the view outside her window.
Meanwhile, it was somewhere else in the Twin Towers Empire.
The news of the return of the imperial expeditionary army that failed to wipe out the dungeon had reached the ears of the people. Many forms of protest came from citizens who complained about the inability of the empire in overcoming such a small thing. Also, more than ever before citizens are suing for the death of their friends, relatives or relatives on the expedition. In other words, the imperial side was experiencing an unwanted crisis.
To date, the emperor has not made a clear statement. The other party of the upper echelon also kept his mouth shut and did not dare to comment much as the emperor ordered. That was because the emperor was still in great shock because not only had he lost many of his military forces, the imperial side had also lost the great warriors he had. If you mention one great warrior that only the empire has disappeared after the battle, it makes the emperor feel a bitter taste in his heart.
"Have you heard of the Baroque Advisor?"
Currently in the closed meeting room the emperor looked at the upper echelons of the empire marching on two opposite sides. The emperor sat on the throne with a grim expression, a frown appearing to signal the current emperor could not calm down inside.
"Your Majesty, there has been no development from the scouting team about the existence of the Baroque Advisor," Reene said with her complicated feelings, she was currently standing by the emperor's side with complete attributes. He was the son of the Baroque Advisor and was the personal bodyguard of the emperor.
"Emperor Frey, please forgive me for my stupidity." A man from the Red Rose camp advanced from the ranks and paid his respects to the emperor.
"Speak."
"Your Majesty, according to the officers guarding the main fortress wall, the residents had filled the side of the gate and started rioting because they did not get news of the expedition team's return. I'm afraid it will get worse if it continues for the next few days" the man said in an anxious tone.
"Your Majesty, this time I agree with Minister Jinsu on this matter. Please Your Majesty forgive my leniency." Being from the opposite side Minister Huang expressed his agreement on this matter. Although he did not like Minister Jinsu, this time they both had an understanding. Mentri Huang himself came from the Blue Eye fortress, in other words they were in different camps.
The Emperor breathed a heavy sigh. His mind had long been complicated since the news of this second expedition failed to wipe out the dungeon again. The emperor had no other choice, there was no point in trying to hide this matter to the public, as some citizens had obtained such information from the surviving adventurers. It was only a matter of time, waiting for the news to reach all corners of the empire by word of mouth.
"Alright, you two can give this news to the public. Regarding the relatives left behind by the fallen warriors and adventurers, give them all the appropriate compensation."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The two leaders retreated and returned to their respective ranks.
"Greetings to His Majesty, Alyn from the Torry-affiliated royal housekeeper asked permission to deliver a message from the king," said the nobleman named Alyn.
"Speak."
"Thank you Your Majesty." The nobleman began to unroll the parchment the king had given him, then continued to deliver it before the emperor, "Your Majesty, first of all, I would like to offer an apology to King Hasington for not being able to face His Majesty directly, as the condition of the kingdom is also in decline after the destruction of the warrior units in the previous expedition team. Here King Hansington sends a message that His Majesty is asked to immediately send a representative to the person in charge of the goblins, as a peace negotiation. Before it was really too late because their side had come to knock on the imperial door," Alyn said.
"Your Majesty, according to the adventurer witches who were subordinates of the Baroque Advisor also said something similar. At the last moment the Baroque Advisor left a message to them for His Majesty to have more time to prepare, and try as much as possible not to provoke the ruler of the goblins." Reene commented when Alyn finished reading the message.
Emperor Fey could not help but frown, he stared blankly while thinking deeply. The audience at this time no one dared to comment anymore, especially seeing the mimicry of the emperor who looked not so happy.
"Reene, go and get the prince to come to the meeting." The King said firmly, making Reene daze for a moment and then nodded in return. He immediately greeted the prince before leaving to meet him.
About half an hour passed, the door of the room opened and Prince Julius entered the meeting room, followed by Reene from behind. The Prince walked in the middle through two rows on the right and left sides, as if splitting the two camps.
"Greetings, Your Grace. Prince Julius came to face." The prince said as he saluted the emperor before him. Meanwhile, Reene returned to his position on the side of the emperor.
"Julius, I hereby give you an important task. As representatives of the empire go to meet the rulers of the goblins to negotiate a peace deal. The Empire offered to benefit several areas around the dungeon as a deal. Meanwhile the goblins had to agree not to harass the empire."
"Your Majesty, this is...." Reene was shocked and involuntarily commented after the king finished speaking. "Too dangerous, to send a prince to such a place. Please Your Majesty to rethink that."
Just like what Reeene did, some imperial officials and nobles who had close ties to the prince expressed his rejection. They hoped that the emperor would withdraw such a reckless order.
The emperor was speechless. Please note, in a negotiation it takes the trust of each party concerned. In other words in order for the goblin's ruling party to receive imperial sincerity to negotiate, an influential person must be a representative of the empire. Meanwhile, the empire no longer had anyone with a strong influence, the Baroque Advisor had disappeared and its whereabouts were unknown. The only one suitable here to go to negotiate is only the prince, since it is impossible for the emperor himself to leave?
Meanwhile, the upper echelons and the nobles expressed their objections, the prince spoke up about the emperor's order directed at him. The audience calmed down again and focused on listening to the prince's answer, as well as the emperor.
"Your Majesty, if it is indeed the best for the empire, Julius is willing to be a representative to negotiate" Julius said with a warm smile.
