The World: creating the peace

Chapter 33 [Suddenness]



Kradr: So, what's going to happen next?

Yoru: You still need magic, right? Hmm... Does he own it?

Chlori: I would not say that he owns it, but I can say for sure. His amount of mana exceeds all the inhabitants combined.

Yoru: Yeah, I see... What?! Ahem, okay. I think it is. Then let's take a different approach. Did he study magic somewhere?

Chlori: We were thinking of sending him to the academy where I studied.

Yoru: Yeah, I see. You're here to see the governor, aren't you?

Chlori: Well, yes.

Yoru: Then you are very lucky. And which academy?

Chlori: BRAINSTORMING, why?

Yoru: Yo, so you're very lucky. The Queen wants to send her daughter to this academy and is very worried about this. And here is a former student and a very strong knight. It turns out that the arguments for her will become more weighty. What do you want?

Kradr: As I understand it, to make peace. It's just that I don't know the details myself.

Chlori: I know more. There is a complicated negotiation scheme.

"A scarecrow portal appeared behind Chloris."

Calm madman: Greetings to all, have I heard that you need a peace treaty here?

Chlori: Aah! Fucking crazy! I was scared! Don't do that anymore!

Calm madman: Well, what are you doing?

Chlori: She said not to do it anymore, so don't do it!

"The faceless one abruptly turned his head towards his brother."

Calm madman: Well, why are you reacting like that? I didn't actually tell you anything, but a lot of things happened there. And they're watching the city instead of me.

Yoru: Ah, ah.. and who is this?

Kradr: The deputy and responsible for many of the duties of our empire, a calm madman in person. The brother of the Faceless One and the son of the progenitor.

Yoru: Another freak...

Calm madman: Don't you understand? And who are you?

Yoru: I am the Faceless One's temporary teacher and your assistant in negotiations with the Queen.

Calm madman: And so she is the queen, not the king. Since you've told us the details about your ruler, do you trust us?

Yoru: Something like that. I must say right away, the negotiations will be difficult, since she is conservative, and there will be after the road.

Calm madman: Did you hear that you have some kind of argument?

Yoru: Yes. She wants to send her daughter to the BRAINSTORMING academy, and Faceless is just going there.

Calm madman: I see. And now a question for you, Chlori, Kradr, may I ask why Faceless is going to the academy?

Chlori: You know?..

Kradr: Sir, we need to pass the entrance exams, and that's why he needs to go to the academy.

Calm madman: Can I ask where?

"The calm madman made his trademark smile."

Kradr: To the Adventurers Guild.

Calm madman: I see... Although, I kind of forbade this topic, but Chlori?

Chlori: Yes, it was like that...

Calm madman: Okay, the time has already come, so I won't scold you.

Chlori: Phew...

Calm madman: Can we talk in private?

"The Faceless One nodded."

Calm madman: That's good. Hey, negotiation assistant, where do you have a private conversation here?

Yoru: There are benches.

Yoru pointed with his thumb, behind him, at the benches. The Faceless and Calm Madman moved away from everyone and the Calm Madman sat down on a bench."

Calm madman: In general, I'll start by saying that becoming an adventurer is not a priority for us. As I understand it, you will do it, since it is mandatory to specify weapons in the regulations. Now we need to conclude more peace treaties. Taking into account that your becoming an adventurer will give us another peace treaty, then everything is fine, but don't spend a lot of time doing this. Next, I have a travel history. In short, we will have a non-interference agreement with Cthulhu, but we need to solve one problem for this. Next comes the empire of the elves. I can't get there, and therefore we can't. Cthulhu will take us to the other shore. By signing an agreement with the elf empire, we will be able to come to a solution to the problem of Cthulhu. In total, approaching the implementation, we need, if you are not accepted for an abrupt reason to the academy, then we go to the empire of the elves, and if they accept, then you will develop. Although, this is also questionable, since I was informed that your new armor is being considered, and for this you need a Damn blacksmith and a Half-dead shield. Which means we need to get there and bring him here. What do you think about this?

"The calm madman took hold of the Faceless One's leg."

Faceless: I get it. I mean, I think it's necessary to go to the elf empire first and bring a brother. And then on the list. Is this the way things are going?

Calm madman: Yes, quite. Then that's what we'll do. I will go and inform you that after meeting with the queen, Chlori and I will go to the elf empire.

Faceless: Yes, come on.

"The calm madman got up and walked over to the rest of the audience."

Calm madman: And so, guys... Kradr, after signing the contract or not, you will have to arrive at the fortress and take Rostolia with you. After that, you should go to the academy. Along the way, you can do what you need to do. Next, Chlori, you will come with us. I warn you that you will probably be scared. Next, what's your name?

Yoru: Call me Yoru.

Calm madman: So, Yoru, when will the queen arrive?

Yoru: According to official documents, she will be here tomorrow, but she will arrive today at lunchtime, that is, in about an hour, and after that she will be busy for an hour. That is, in about two hours I can ask for an audience.

Calm madman: Okay, then you can rest for now.

--- About 2 hours later---

Yoru: That's it, go to the modem, I've already agreed.

Calm madman: And so, I think that everyone is ready, let's go.

"Kradr, Chlori, the Calm Madman and the Faceless One followed Yoru to a private audience with the queen. Soon, after going inside, they were already standing near the knights."

???: Greetings, gentlemen. Yoru, tell me.

Yoru: Madam Queen, these are long-distance travelers. Among them are 2 brothers of the progenitor, one translator and their main loyal subject. They will be able to provide a lot of information themselves.

???: I'm listening to what you wanted.

Calm madman: Queen, I would like you to introduce yourself, because in front of you our ruler is Faceless, and I am a Calm madman. Behind us are Chlori, the translator and Kradr, our personal transport and the strongest loyal subject.

???: First of all, why is there a demon next to you?

Calm madman: Does it really matter?

"The queen furrowed her brows and the guards pointed their spears at everyone."

???: Yoru, you know that I don't support betrayal, right?

Yoru: You probably misunderstood? As I understand it, he is as arrogant and stubborn as you are, so forgive him and understand.

???: Eh, okay. Then let's start our acquaintance from the beginning. I'm Miranda Von Bernard, what did you want?

Calm madman: For that matter, the demon next to us is the demon of hell. He is under our command after agreeing with the demon king on peaceful actions. It sounds something like this, we do not take actions to exterminate them, and we also do not prevent them from living as they see fit, and they, in turn, do not invade or attack other species of races, that is, they should not pose a threat to the life of another race. This is an example of our intentions. We want to sign a peace treaty with you.

Miranda: Okay, I get it. In that case, what is he like?

Calm madman: There are three options for a peace treaty. First, you reject our treaty and in any military action in anyone's person, even the ordinary people, in any kingdom or towards any kingdom, your kingdom will be destroyed, completely. The second option is that you agree to a peace treaty and in case of military action in your direction, we will protect your people, and then destroy the kingdom that attacked you. The third option is that we protect your kingdom every day and every hour, both inside and outside the capital, that is, full control of tranquility. But then you need to join our territorial control, which means you will become a kingdom of our empire.

Miranda: The sentences are completely different from each other. But we can immediately say that the first option is not suitable.

Yoru: Can I add a few words?

Miranda: Tell me.

Yoru: Their ruler, the Faceless One, goes to the Academy of magic, and as I know, you are afraid to let your daughter go alone, and you cannot trust the guards, so why not put this matter under their control?

Miranda: That's reasonable, but how can I trust them that they won't do anything?

Yoru: Chlori and Faceless will go there. Chlori is a girl, and Faceless is asexual.

Miranda: Ahem, good. I choose the third option of the peace treaty.

"The calm madman opened the portal to his left and reached into the portal and took out two sheets from there."

Miranda: The guards.

"The guards lowered their spears. The calm madman walked up to the throne and handed over the sheets."

Calm madman: It is necessary to sign in blood.

Miranda: May I ask who else is in the world with you?

Calm Madman: The Solar Kingdom is under our leadership. Also, one of the rulers of the sea is with us in the temporary world.

Miranda: Not a bad military force has been assembled. The strongest kingdom and insane support from the water.

Calm madman: But we are not asking them to participate in, as you called it, our military operations.

"Miranda drew her sword a little and cut her finger, after which she signed two sheets of paper with blood, and handed them to the Calm Madman."

Calm madman: Should I sign it myself?

"The faceless one pointed at Chlori with his head."

Calm madman: Good.

"The calm madman handed the sheets to Chlori, and she put a dash in the ruler field. The calm madman took the sheets, opened the portal, put one in the portal, and handed the other to the queen. The Queen handed over the contract to the adviser."

Miranda: So now I need to introduce you to my daughter and put her in your care?

Calm madman: I think not really. You can get to know each other, but you won't be able to put them in care. Now we will go to the Elven empire, and then we will send the Faceless One to another brother. This arrangement does not guarantee her safety.

Miranda: All right. Lucius, bring Elizabeth.

--- Some, small, time later---

"Lucius brought a little girl."

Miranda: Eliza, meet me. These are your new friends and those who will be able to give you the opportunity to learn magic.

"Elise raised her head, shedding tears."

Eliza: Really?

Miranda: Yes... That knight and the girl next to him will be with you at the academy. So, in half a year, you will meet again and study at the academy together.

Eliza: Thank you. Thank you, Mother.

Miranda: You know that I love you and I will do a lot of things to make you happy.

Eliza: I know...

Calm madman: Well, then, shall we go?

Miranda: Yes, you can go.

"Everyone who came to the audience left the castle."

Yoru: May I ask why you are doing all this?

Calm madman: What is this supposed to mean?

Yoru: Well, why are you signing a settlement agreement?

Calm madman: Then, a counter question. Do you think war and the death of people is good and normal?

Yoru: No, of course not.

Calm madman: So, we are trying to ensure that people and other creatures do not die for nothing, but it was natural.

Yoru: So you want to ensure that life goes its natural way?

Calm madman: Yes, that's right.

Yoru: Understood. I take it that this is where we say goodbye?

Calm madman: Yes.

"The calm madman and the Faceless One with Chlori headed for the exit of the city."

Kradr: Yoru, I hope you didn't forget that you need to go to your father?

Yoru: I remember-I remember. I will definitely go right now, as soon as the working day is over and I will go right away.

Kradr: That's good, then I'll go too, I still have a lot to do.

Yoru: Have a nice day.

"Kradr soared into the sky and flew towards the fortress."

Yoru: So, for today, I have to spend the evening training for the knights and that's it. Captain!

Captain: Yes! I can hear you!

Yoru: Gather all the knights, today will be just a run!

Captain: You are merciful, Teacher!

Yoru: Oh, enough flattery!
