"Nat, I want to ask once again, why do you want to destroy the Urbar kingdom and take over the Holy Land? Is it just your revenge?" Lucia asked as soon as she, Aksa, and Nata were already in the study at her residence. Some time after the previous meeting closed.
"Also to ask the Holy Girl to heal Rafa's hand" Aksa replied quickly.
"Cure what? Can the Holy Girl do that?" Lucia was shocked to hear the information.
"Maybe" said Aksa later.
"Maybe? Don't joke with you guys" Lucia's starting to look sewot.
"Yes in fact, we simply tried to sneak into the city of Nezarad in the Holy Land, then look for the Holy maiden and then ask for her help" Nata suddenly said.
"Well, isn't that much better?" Lucia's chiming in right away.
"But as we have said before, we are now in a state of heartache towards the kingdom of Urbar. And we were determined to bring him down" Nata replied. But before Lucia could make a sound, Nata spoke again. "But if we only bring down the Urbar kingdom, then there is a possibility that other kingdoms will try to control the Holy Land, which may lead to other wars.
"Therefore, we intend to simultaneously control the Holy Land. Until there will be no other kingdom that will fight over it again after escaping from the kingdom of Urbar" Nata continued his speech.
"And what will you do after you have mastered the Holy Land?" Lucia hunts Nata down with questions like someone's prosecuting the defendant.
"Prescribe one holiday a week that applies to all governments in the central region" said Aksa suddenly. The one Lucia replied with a cynical look.
"Eitherway. We haven't thought about it that far. Our goal now is only to defeat the Urbar kingdom and take control of the Holy land. That was it" Nata replied casually. "Perhaps later with the influence of the Holy Land, we can change the way other kingdoms think to do war in other forms. Economic war maybe?" Added later
"Food War" said Aksa cut Nata's speech.
"Well, just don't have to kill each other" Nata continued.
"Or maybe we should both colonize all the kingdoms in the entire southern mainland to create a peace" Aksa added dramatically as he moved his hand.
"It could be, we never know" Nata replied.
While Lucia seemed to just shake her head after hearing the words of Aksa and Nata who had started to be in their own world.
"Why did you leave this place?" Lucia asked another question, still with a suspicious-looking attitude.
"It's clear because we have to attack. You think attacking the city in real life, just use the Attack button on the phone screen?" Aksa said she had to hear Lucia's silly question.
"Do you have any soldiers? How did you guys make an attack on their place?" Lucia asked again. He does not care about Aksa's words that he does not understand.
"Obviously we will not invade their real territories, princess. All we need to do is cripple their governing cities and take over the territory of the Holy Land. Just like that" Nata replied trying to explain. "And if it's just to take over one or two cities, you think Lily and Val's whereabouts aren't enough?" Imbuh later.
Hearing the answer made Lucia unable to refute anymore.
"Why did you choose to do this yourself? Why don't you try to persuade me to do it?" It seems that the question that had stuck and hurt Lucia's feelings began to be issued. "Do you feel like I'm going to burden your goals?" Added again.
The uneasiness and the series of questions that Lucia had previously issued were the result of her feelings of anxiety because she felt abandoned by Aksa and Nata.
"Because mastering a kingdom is not a simple matter, princess" Nata then replied.
"If you have managed to defeat a kingdom, then your territory is not just a 'region' only. Your domain must inevitably become a kingdom. And that means you have to be a queen" Nata begins to explain the reason she and Aksa did not try to persuade Lucia. "If you are the original descendant of the previous king Elbrasta founded a new kingdom, do you think there will be no problem in the territory of Elbrasta? What else is now the kingdom is in conflict" he continued later.
"Oh, and also you will trigger a new upheaval in the southern mainland, because it successfully controlled the Holy Land. That could be having more enemies and maybe having to put them all down as the answer" Aksa added. "Are you ready for all that?" Followers later.
Lucia was silent at the explanation. He can't answer. The things Aksa and Nata had just mentioned were too big for him.
"I guessed it" said Aksa later.
"So from that, we're not trying to persuade you to do it. Because we know you won't like the impact" Nata said again. "But don't worry. The area has started to become independent. We will prepare the necessary things before leaving. We will also definitely come here again because there is still a secret in the Cave of the Star Ceruk that has not been revealed" he continued.
"We talked about this with Lily and Val. Maybe we will leave in two or three weeks" This time Aksa said.

Five days later, Ivvone returned from a trip to the south. And as soon as he arrived at the central city, the first one he went to was the bar of Pietro.
"I miss so much the food and drink from this place" Yvvone said after sipping half of the glass. Red Star Drink.
The bar also features Lucia, Aksa, Nata, Rafa, and Lily. The one sitting in a row at the long table of the bartender. There was also Luna wiping the glass on the table rack, and Seigfried wiping the empty tables.
"And only after a few months, your territory has expanded. You are very ambitious to rule the world" Yvvone added later.
"Don't say that sarcasm. So what about your friend the Shuuran clan?" Tagih Aksa later.
"Hey, I traveled south to investigate the man who was collecting Scion's bracelet. Not to bring a Shuuran" sounded Yvvone not uerima with Aksa bill.
"Then what did you find, Miss Ivvone?" Lucia then asked.
"It seems like the two people I've seen in the Yllgarian forest before, were members of a loose group of knights named the Eight Guards" Yvvone replied.
"Oh, the Eight Guards" Seigfried sounded involuntarily. That's because he recognized the name.
"You know about the group, Morra?" Yvvone asked as he turned his seat to face Seigfried behind him. The others seem to follow him.
"Ck" Seigfried looked irritatedly at Ivvone. "Stop calling me Morra, Elf" he said later.
"That's not a problem. Now most importantly, do you know about the Eight Guards?" Yvvone's question didn't care about Seigfried's earlier remark.
"The eight Guards were an elite group of freelance knights" Seigfried replied.
"Last knight?" Nata sounded curious.
"It was similar to some kind of combat union, yet all of its members were former royal knights. They are very famous in the underworld. Because they accept any kind of work regardless of whether it is good or bad. Difficult or easy. As long as they were paid accordingly" Seigfried tried to explain as he could. "At least that's what I've heard" he closed later.
"Do you know where we can contact them?" Yvvone seems to be interested.
"It seems like they have their own intermediary to connect them with the tenants" Seigfried replied again.
"Do you know who the mediator is?"
"I know his name is Yan. But I never met him. I heard that he lived in the cities of the western region of the kingdom of Estrinx" Seigfried replied again.
"Oh, the area where you live?" Yvvone asked again which this time was ignored by Seigfried. Not answered.
"Do you know about their members?" Yvvone doesn't seem to care. He started asking again.
"I don't know. Reportedly they often change members" replied Seigfried this time.
"Alright then, after this you will come with me to Estrinx" Yvvone said later.
"Are you crazy, Elf? I don't want to" said Seigfried quickly.
"Alright then, it's been decided we'll be leaving in two weeks. Get ready" Yvvone replied casually.
"Don't decide. I told you I didn't agree" Seigfried seemed to be starting to sew.
While Yvvone again turned his sitting position facing the table casually. Ignoring Seigfried who began to curse softly while continuing his work wiping the table. People looked confused to see the two of them.
"So, what other surprises do you guys have that I don't know yet?" Yvvone asked then after finishing the rest of her drink.
