The room looked like a hurricane had passed through it. Feli used her magic to clean it, removing all traces of blood and even the revolting stench of death.
“What *that*?”
“About her…”
Feli then turned towards the open window, curtains fluttering in the wind.
“We heard what we wanted to know. If there’s no risk of her targeting us again, then there’s no problem. I wanted to kill her only to get rid of a seed of concern.”

It was the letters from King Leric of Afillis and his daughter addressed to me.
“I’ve kept them waiting long enough, I should reply soon. I’ve got no time to waste on someone like that.”

I mentally apologized to the maid standing next to me for the worry I was causing her, and she smiled helplessly.

Father viewed the incident caused by Idies very gravely.
“I am thinking of holding a Curia.”
In order to contrast the empire’s power and influence, Rinchelle, Diestburg, and other kingdoms formed an alliance to act as a counterbalance.
The meeting of the representatives of such an alliance was called the “Curia”.
The signs of an impending invasion by the empire had become more frequent.
Father made this painful decision in order to prevent any more dangerous incidents.
