Episode 326
‘It’s the day of the decisive battle.’
Teresa, dressed in the royal wizard’s attire, brightened her eyes.
Although she was bothered by the lukewarm response of the king, she was not opposed to what she was trying to do. It will be over soon.
The first thing that arrived at Green Cana before Teresa’s visit was a letter.
A soldier from the Kingdom of Veneta rode a horse and visited Green Cana.
When he visited Rodril, the villagers seemed very wary.
A letter saying he would visit in the afternoon. In other words, it was also a noble-style notice to prepare to receive the king’s envoy.
Green Cana prepared to greet her. The preparation was nothing special.
Area and Helmut finally learned who the wizard Fidelis was visiting. Area laughed as if she was shocked.
“Theresa. Was that senior Fidelis? “For some reason, he was trying to ostracize me.”
The eyes staring at Xian were as cold as ice. As if the mere mention of that name was offensive. Xian waved his hand.
“If you get too excited and hit someone to death, you’ll be in trouble. “It was a long time ago, right?”
Helmut, who had been attending Greta Academy for a long time, simply tilted his head.
“I heard this name somewhere… Was it the Magic Faculty?”
Strangely, Area’s heart relaxed at that attitude.
“What is it? It was a long time ago. “She won’t even recognize me.”
If this person uses the transformation spell, there is no way that Teresa Fidelis will be recognized. Her magic skills and Alea’s are significantly different.
At that time, Ygrel, who had been resting his chin, suddenly opened his mouth.
“This is where the incident begins in earnest, right?”
After tormenting Sian for a few days, she became annoyed again. Since Sian was so attached to Terra, it was not easy to touch her.
Terra spoke firmly to Ygrel.
‘Xian refused and please respect his wishes.’
It is clear that neither Terra nor Azer want to have a monster daughter-in-law. Ygrel was just joking around because he was bored anyway, so he could have easily quit.
She thought about this new situation for a while and said it was strange.
“But aren’t you going too soft? That Teresa Fidelis or something said she was a subject of King Veneta. They took your villagers hostage there too, so you can take them hostage here too. “It’s simple!”
Ygrel clasped his palms together as if asking if there was such a genius. There was some truth to it.
Xian shook his head.
“That just means fighting.”
“I guess he has more value as a hostage, right? They say there is only one villager on this side, but on the other side, they are the king’s subjects. She’s also the daughter of a rather high-ranking duke or something. “You’ll have no choice but to agree to the deal, right?”
Igrel was a person with a good head in this direction. Elaga also responded positively.
[After listening, it seems to be correct. If they come from over there, just take them hostage here too!]
“Then the situation gets worse. Even if we exchange it like that, the Kingdom of Veneta will turn completely hostile towards us. It’s a kingdom over there, so they can harass this little town in all sorts of mean ways. Just because that side is cowardly doesn’t mean we can become cowards, too. “There must be a better solution.”
Ygrel crossed his arms.
“I don’t understand why the powerful have to endure this.”
[That’s right.]
On one side, Elaga nodded in response.
If someone weaker than me climbs on you, you have to trample them so they don’t do it again. To regret it deeply.
However, the power of a country is different from the power of an individual, and this side had the weakness of not losing a single person.
“Please remain quiet. If you do well, you will be able to go to the royal castle.”
Xian sighed deeply and calmed the group down.
As long as Ygrel didn’t act unexpectedly, there was no one who would cause an accident. In the end, Ygrel also nodded.
“What did you know?”
Helmut and Area changed their appearances and decided to watch quietly. For now, it was right to follow the opinion of Sian, the landlord.

Teresa arrived in the afternoon and looked majestic. She appeared wearing royal wizard robes, riding on a horse wearing decorative armor, and leading knights and soldiers.
The position of ruling over the king’s subordinates seemed as familiar to her as her own body.
As if to show ‘I became successful after graduating from Greta Academy!’ He will be a great example to his juniors.
Of course, as the daughter of Duke Fidelis, Teresa Fidelis was nothing but a solid figure in the first place.
Still, it was definitely an achievement for her to reach this position in such a short period of time.
Teresa got off the horse in front of Rodril’s people who had come to the entrance of the village.
“I came here at the behest of King Veneta.”
Even in front of envoys who had received orders from the king, they all stood and greeted her with cold eyes instead of showing respect.
The people of Rodriel were the majority. All of the people in Green Carna had gone inside their houses except for a few.
There was one surprising fact. Teresa said with a smile.
“It is a sign of sincerity and trust on our part.”
A man staggered out from among the soldiers. It was Uber, the herbalist who was taken hostage.
Although his complexion was pale, he looked fine and had no injuries. His wife, Amanda, ran out and hugged him.
“honey!”
“Amanda!”
The two quickly disappeared toward the house to avoid being caught.
Even after seeing the emotional reunion taking place, Terra’s expression did not show signs of relaxation.
“They arbitrarily arrested people and now release them, saying it is a sign of sincerity and trust.”
Teresa answered with a shameless face.
“You have paid the price for illegally trespassing into the king’s forest. “You must have forgotten that the area around Green Kana belongs to the Kingdom of Veneta, right?”
“This mountain range existed before it was part of the Kingdom of Veneta, and the earth spirit existed even before that. “What use is human history in the face of the great power of nature?”
“But except for Rodril, the humans of Green Cana are just humans. Anyway, we released the hostages. There was no violent treatment of the hostages. Although there were some accidents in the process of securing him, the herbalist was treated undeservedly by the royal wizard.”
“I don’t like my junior’s arrogance, but I acknowledge that he did the bare minimum.”
Although she was the daughter of Duke Fidelis, a vassal of King Veneta, Teresa was also a junior from the Greta Academy.
Teresa also understood Terra’s words right away, saying that she had done this using her school ties as collateral for her friendship with Sian.
“You underestimate my sincerity. However, I think it would be better to stop worrying about trivial disputes.”
“It would be to their advantage to do so. So what do you want?”
Terra turned back to the straight bench. I had no intention of clashing with Teresa right away anyway.
If Terra showed anything, it was in front of King Veneta.
Teresa, biting the knights around her, took a step in front of Terra.
“I would like to speak quietly with Terra.”
Terra reached out her hand as she approached Teresa. A thin layer of dust rose up from the floor.
Before they knew it, a wall blocking all sound had surrounded them. It isolated them from other people.
“His Majesty wants Earth Spiritist Rodril to find the royal castle. He wants to see you with his own eyes and know whether you are harmful to the Kingdom of Veneta or not. As you know, he ascended to the throne after a war for succession, so he is a cautious and cautious person. “You don’t want to leave any danger in your territory.”
“How can you believe it’s not a trap? “Couldn’t they see us in person and decide that we are a risk?”
“He is a person who knows how to see people’s hearts. “I’m sure you’ll understand when you see Terra.”
It was Tera who looked just like a docile lady in the neighborhood. Of course, she looks much younger than women my age and has an inexplicable dignity.
She never seemed like someone who would go out of their way to harm or threaten anyone.
“I will personally welcome you with great hospitality. All you have to do is chat with His Majesty the King and ask for a simple favor in a comfortable and gentle atmosphere.”
That alone makes Earth Elementalist Rodril friendly to the current King Veneta.
Or, it will be a visible proof that you acknowledge him. From then on, packaging was Teresa’s job.
Terra clicked her tongue.
“It means bowing your head to the king and listening to his orders and other requests.”
“It won’t be a difficult request for Terra. I know what you’re considering, but it’s not confirmed, so it’s difficult to tell right now. Instead, you will get what you want. “I don’t think you want a title, so how about a guarantee from the king?”
“guarantee?”
“The Kingdom of Veneta recognizes the autonomy of Green Cana. It will not demand taxes and will allow free exchange with villages in the Venetian Kingdom, and this will remain in effect as long as the Venetian Kingdom is maintained. Well, how about something like this? It is notarized as a document with the king’s seal. Also, if you wish, some wealth. “This is a gift from you, not from His Majesty the King, but from you as a junior at Greta Academy.”
The school years aren’t enough, so they even resort to money. Teresa was a proper wizard in that she used all the means at her disposal to achieve her goals.
Terra was a little appalled, but also understood. Teresa is not an ordinary wizard and is the head of the magic department.
So, even if you have been to the academy, it is understandable that your personality is bound to be like that.
Because I have already encountered such people.
‘It brings back old memories.’
Anyway, I had already made up my mind to say yes. Terra nodded without difficulty.
“I understand what you are saying. But we can’t completely trust you either.”
“You are welcome to bring your companions. Green Cana’s power was greater than I expected.”
Teresa smiled meaningfully. As if they knew who visited here.
But Terra also knew one thing. No matter who she counted as her strength, Elaga and Ygrel would not have been included.
“I agree.”
“Then I will give you time to prepare. See you again tomorrow. You will be transported directly to the castle through magic. “I must report this to His Majesty the King.”
Teresa concluded with a smile.
“I hope you have a peaceful day.”
