Chapter 277. The war is over… (2) You don’t have to stay long because you’ve accepted surrender.
But before that, I had something I wanted to look into, so I asked for permission and walked around the castle.
I was searching the saintess’ private room and other rooms to find something.
‘I don’t expect that there will be anything left to catch my eye, but…
But just in case you don’t know, let’s look for it.
It is clear that the saintess received a second life under someone’s influence.
If so, I wondered if there would be traces of it somewhere.
However, after searching the private room, no traces were found.
Well, even if it’s like me, I won’t leave a trace.
Lastly, I went into the prayer room where the saints of successive generations prayed every day.
“You are unnecessarily pious….
Ugh! It’s kind of awkward.
The light coming down through the colorful stained glass made me feel like flying a slingshot.
I don’t know why religion always pursues such needlessly flashy things.
This is why I don’t really like things like religion and God.
When we go back later, let’s break everything and go.
I sighed and looked through the prayer room and found a letter lying under a stone statue of a god.
I opened the letter, opened it, and burned it without saying a word or making a face.
“It’s not even funny.”
[This is a small apology. Seongguk will let you do as you please. comrade
by – Muse from the previous life,
recalling the contents of the letter that seemed to have been left for me to see, I sneered heartily.
“It’s not really even funny.”
It’s ridiculous.
The conflict between the Holy Kingdom and the Ernesia Kingdom has come to an end.
Neighboring countries had no choice but to carefully watch the conflict between the two countries, which led to an epidemic situation, spiritist debate, and eventually a war.
If the Seongguk wins, the continent will be overturned once again.
If the kingdom of Ernesia wins, what will they also gain from this war’?
Most countries were watching the situation with neutrality.
And the war is over
So how will they come out now?
“….The bastards noticed while I was gone.”
For the first time in a while, I locked myself in my room and looked over the reports that summarized trends in other countries.
the war will be over I left the rest of the clean-up to others and quickly returned to Fahilia.
And while I was out of the war, I was reading the trends of neighboring countries and summarizing various events one by one.
Whether the Holy Kingdom or the Kingdom of Ernesia won, it seemed that they were paying attention to cling to the victor.
And when Ernesia Kingdom won, they congratulated us and said they were flattering us.
These guys are very busy too.
Fortunately, the world seems to be truly peaceful.
But I’m not at peace!
shit!
Why am I not at peace? why?
I’m going to pout! do you get upset?
“Ehh…. should I say that this is for sale?”
Originally, I had been constantly paying attention to prevent this from happening.
I couldn’t help it.
After all, the inside story of this war was like a rampage caused by the saintess’s individual pride.
Rather, it may be that it ended prematurely.
I can roughly guess how far she would have gone if she had left it as she wanted… She
dealt with disease, developed weapons, persecuted those who might harm her, and tried to make her country the best country on the continent through war. .
It was an absurd end for a woman with such a twisted wish.
“Is that a saint…? That’s just the devil.”
Did the woman really know what the end of the road she was about to walk was like?
Since I don’t have myself anymore, there is no way to hear the answer.
I tossed the report roughly, thinking it was genuinely pitiful.
Well, even if I don’t think so, her reputation has already fallen to the ground.
Saint Nelvenia.
No, it is the name of the worst saintess since the founding of the Holy Kingdom, who should now be called a witch.
Seongguk, which was defeated in this war, officially acknowledged the evil deeds the saintess had been plotting.
Everything from the plague to the plan to conquer foreign countries that the saintess had been preparing from the beginning was revealed.
No, I had no choice but to disclose it.
It was an absolute condition set forth by the King of Ernesia during the post-war negotiations.
‘As long as the saintess does not acknowledge the sins committed, there will be no compromise.’
It was none other than the people of the Holy Kingdom who were most shaken by that fact.
I was relieved that the war was over.
They trembled with fear at the sight of the advancing Ernesia Kingdom Army, but the Ernesia Kingdom Army only accepted the surrender and left the kingdom without causing any damage other than that, as promised.
However, that did not mean that they were completely unscathed in this war.
There are also bereaved families of the sacrificed soldiers.
In addition, there were not a few people struggling with the internal circumstances of the Holy Kingdom, where the economy was difficult due to this war.
Because of that, no matter where he went, there were endless words of resentment towards Nelvania.
“This is it! It’s the witch’s fault!”
The people of the castle had no choice but to turn their resentment towards Nelvenia.
No, besides her, who else should I blame?
No matter which village they went to, whenever the sun went down, they drank and poured out their grievances.
“If it wasn’t for that witch, this war wouldn’t have happened.”
“That’s right.”
“No, what did the saintess do wrong?”
Of course, there are still some who still believe in the saint and deny that fact.
“What’s wrong? this man! Didn’t you hear!
In the first place, the evidence was all over the place! In the saintess’s room, ominous bottles that were said to have been used for contagious diseases came out. Besides that, there is more than one or two pieces of evidence!”
“They even killed all the disobedient high-ranking priests!”
The high-ranking priests actually tried to betray Nelvania and the Holy Kingdom, but there was no way for the citizens of the Holy Kingdom to know about it.
“What the hell is God doing? Without punishing such a witch.”
“Does God exist in the first place?”
Lamenting the dark future of the Holy Kingdom, the people of the Holy Kingdom questioned their faith.
‘I’m sure the words of resentment won’t stop.’
I could easily imagine.
If you win the war, you become a hero, and if you lose, you become a demon king.
This is always the case with the words of the defeated.
She will forever go down in history as a terrible evil.
As for Nelvenia, it is known to the public that it is simply missing.
Not only were the soldiers seen escaping from Fort Kaylan at the end.
After that, her actions were unclear.
The head of state was convinced that she had already died for some reason.
“Arel, do you think so too?”
While lounging around in my room, I was talking to my older brother over communication channels.
Communication is not very convenient.
I can just lie down and make a report because I just need to hear my voice.
For the time being, I won’t be making things like video communication.
It only bothers me to make it.
With that kind of thought in mind, I answered.
“It is most likely dead.”
actually died though.
….It would be more accurate to say that he was eliminated.
I frowned at the thought of that brown-skinned girl.
“But don’t you think she would have died in another country?”
“Yes.”
The chiefs of each country, including Big Brother Jeil, were convinced that Nelvenia was dead.
The reason is slightly different.
“Arel, did you also base the reason you thought she was dead on that?”
“yes.”
The evidence that Elder Brother Jeil mentioned was the traces of large-scale destruction discovered belatedly near the Caylan Fortress.
The whole forest was literally destroyed as if it were completely annihilated.
It was none other than the place where I casually exchanged greetings with the girl who dealt with the monster.
When the barrier was lifted, of course, the place was discovered belatedly, and there was a slight commotion.
According to some eyewitnesses, there were reports that Nelvania headed for the forest, which is cited as the conclusive reason for her death.
Um… I didn’t mean to.
I didn’t even have the time to do that in the first place.
“About that, do you have any opinions that you doubt that we are doing it?”
“Not at all.”
There was a hint of laughter mixed in with the older brother’s voice, as if he was a bit bewildered.
“But what kind of weapons and magic could be used to destroy it like that?”
“Yes.”
….No one would believe me if I told you that it was just a couple of humans hitting each other lightly.
I don’t even want to say
Well, even the magicians said that the phenomenon was a mystery, and it seemed that they were still investigating it with interest.
If it goes wrong, it will remain as a mystery of the continent.
There won’t be any reason to remind me there anyway, so there’s no reason for me to care.
“It’s actually about that.”
Just as I was thinking about that, the oldest brother cautiously tried to say something.
No way…
The criminal, whose conscience was very stung, kept his mouth shut.
I have the right to remain silent and the power to split the court in two.
“There’s an opinion that it’s not the dragon’s work.”
“???? aha.”
“Hmm? Arell?”
“no. I also instantly understood. What a valid opinion indeed! I was also impressed.”
Misunderstandings seem to have led to misunderstandings.
“Certainly, it must be at the level of a dragon to bring about that much destruction.”
Saying this, I covered my mouth and laughed.
just a dragon? It’s not even funny.
This true heart must be hidden.
It seems everyone misunderstood in the wrong direction.
The reason seemed to be that the dragon the saintess was controlling had disappeared.
“You may have received the dragon’s retaliation. Is it like that?”
“I think that might be it.”
This seems to be the reason why the rumors of Nelvenia’s death are being weighed on in other countries.
Well, since he manipulated the dragon at will, it was only natural that he would receive that wrath.
It seems to be here.
I was too lazy to fabricate evidence, but it worked.
After misunderstanding, I decided to jump on the bandwagon.
yes it’s all dragon stuff
dragons are bad
It’s all the dragon’s fault!
The fact that there is no end to war in the world.
It was all the dragon’s fault that I bumped my pinky toe on the furniture while I was rolling around in my room yesterday.
Then everyone will be happy.
good good
“According to that, it seems that there is a movement of uneasiness in the Holy Land.”
“It’s pitiful… but it can’t be helped.”
We are not in a position to watch.
I don’t have any grudge against the people of Sung, but if I don’t draw a line and deal with it, I won’t be able to set an example later.
By the way, during the post-war settlement negotiations, we have already paid off a huge debt to the Holy State and signed several treaties that are advantageous to this side.
For the next hundred years, the Holy Kingdom will never dream of an invasion in the name of a holy war.
Of course, it is questionable whether the Seongguk will remain after that hundred years.
“I saw the treaty, too. Do you, Your Majesty, see that the kingdom will perish?”
“Yes. At least the current Holy Kingdom will disappear.”
There is no strong conviction.
Even I can hear it Is it enough to make me laugh?
“You seem to be sure?”
“Yes. I am already convinced.”
My brother was speaking firmly.
Whoa.
Feeling like a teacher, I decided to listen to the evidence he was so sure about.
“Sooner or later, the Seongguk is expected to enter a second war. What a pity.”
There was even a bit of sympathy mixed into that voice.
“You mean the second war? Where are you fighting?”
“Their next opponent seems to be a country of different races.”
It seemed that karma continued to follow them.
