Vepar had prepared an office at her new residence While approving one docu for instructions, she was at her wits' end everyday

Her new castle in Vichy was in a ree city located in the central area of Vichy and is a building that also served as inn used by the politicians formerly referred to as central coht and publicly executed as an example to suppress the humans

It wasn't Vepar's personal taste to do so, but to hold down the great numbers of humans with their few numbers, she decided that it would be the easiest way to rule theth of the de only feas plenty of a threat for all the cities of Vichy, which had lost quite a lot soldiers against the reinforced soldiers and the first deht say that she more or less succeeded in her objective

“Majestyyy, here are some additional docue pile of documents in of front of Vepar's eyes with a thuether with her partner Pheres She s of the current queen Vepar being too pressured ork, you can't really describe her position as a fortunate one

“Excuse me” (Pheres)

“Ah, Pheres” (Nyarl)

“Read it out loud I don't want to look at anyat the document that was added in front of her with a fed-up expression, Vepar ordered Pheres to read it

“Uuuoals is still far off The ene” That's all” (Pheres)

“Isn't that the saan with “Losses, none,” though” (Pheres)

Vepar felt a headache co her smoothly with a serious look ‘In short, that ainst Orsongrande and Horant in contrast to Vichy, but they are even suffering losses

The group that got transferred to Vichy at first aimed for a border city called Rhone, but on top of an excessively firic barrier that appeared to be cast by the elves, and the deh small,considerable losses a their approach cautiously, but the er the wall became and the attacks became more severe as well At this point in ti said that, right noe don't have any leeway to send reinforce officers on-site understand that we don't have any surplus in the numbers of our soldiers On the other hand, they also have their pride in having been entrusted with the war's aspects, thus not appealing for reinforcements in the letters

Coupled with those circus in their reports as the situation keeps staying the sa?”

“… It's just that I really want to tie a ceasefire”

Right now the deressive stance, represent the ht settle down after the occupation of Vichy, but beginning with Bashi+ one of his arms taken away from him, there's no indication that heyet

Due to her turbulent words, Pheres and Nyarl stayed silent and looked at Vepar

“… There was a guy good at transfor into a human, wasn't there? I believe he returned froo Can I have you summon him?” (Vepar)

Vepar handed a hurriedly written document to the demon who arrived in her office shortly thereafter

“Enter Rhone disguised as refugee and secretly deliver this letter You can clai employed by the demons to do so” (Vepar)

“I shall do as you order”

Respectfully receiving the letter, the man says that he will depart at once and leaves the office
