Chapter 199 – Permanent Alliance
‘What do you mean by that Demon Queen?”
Leowald asked what the Deo Behind Evea upon her
“I mean what I said We, the 『Evila』, have no intention of depriving your territory”
Even the beastOf course they would The 『Evila’s』 gambled on this duel to the point that they risked their life on the line
Everyone thought that they were going to seize everything fro to subdue 『Evila』 supposing they won
It was for this reason that Leoas confused about the Deht all along
But as expected of Beast King Leowald, despite his confusion on her intentions, he received the words of the Demon Queen with a serious face, and asked,
“…Then, what do you hope for?”
Indeed, if they were not intending to seize their territory, they still have a big demand to raise
Eveam paused for a bit as everyone’s eyes were focused on her
“…an Alliance!”
Her transparent voice resounded to everyone in vicinity Leowald for that matter, narrowed his eyes as he looked at Eveam
“An alliance…you say?”
“Indeed! However, it’s not just a simple alliance! It’s the eternal peace that I hoped for! Therefore, I would like to establish a permanent alliance!”
“Permanent…Alliance…”
Leowald reflected upon Eveam’s declaration
“We do not hope to go against your people Supposing our people 『Evila』, crosses the borders of 『Gabranth』, even with the said contract established froer will surely co to happen! I want the races frole hand in hand for peace! Therefore, the race who lives there should govern their own respective continents However, I want to have a relation where each town’s trades mutually for the development of both countries, or in short an alliance!”
“An alliance that continues for eternity… you mean that kind of alliance?”
“Yes That is the demand we hope from this duel!”
Beast men also looked at one another, puzzled in the sah they assu to conquer theht, but once they were faced with this kind of bewildering request, they didn’t kno to answer it, and simply focused their eyes on Leowald
The Detheir eyes away Then, Leowald spoke first
“Permanent…Eternity…Alliance… Do you think that it’s possible to continue doing this kind of thing?”
“It’s possible”
“Have you ever thought why your predecessors never tried to do it in the past?”
“…”
“People eventually fight one another, this is what our current world had become Certainly, the alliance you propose is one step to peace However, the eternity you hope for will never come”
Eveam quietly closed her eyes when she heard those words
“You’re exactly correct The eternity won’t last even if we establish this alliance History has proven us of that”
“Then, why do you still hope for it?”
“That’s simple!”
Eveam opened her eyes wide
“Hm?”
“We only have to make a new history if it doesn’t exist yet!”
“…!?”
Her straight forward eyes were turned to Leowald
“I don’t want to my dream to end up a dream I may be naive, but if it’s about my idealism, I’ve always hope for the best of it! This is why it isn’t just an ordinary alliance, because what I hope for is an eternal alliance!”
Eveaushed out from her The atmosphere trembled from her words, as the beast men have their breaths taken away
“……kuku, you really are naive Demon Queen”
“……”
“This alliance won’t last throughout all eternity”
“……”
“But…kukuku… To ahahahahaha!”
Everyone’s glance turned towards Leoho suddenly burst out into laughter
“… though I had been told the sa when I was appointed as the ruler, you however is an exception To even propose a helping hand to the ones who aimed for your life…”
Eveam loosened her cheeks, and then
“Of course, I a Leowal—ah no— To all the 『Gabranth’s』！Do you not wish to take this hand of mine?”
As Eveam said so, she presented her extended hands forward Leoatched that hand for a while before he straddled to his feet, and turned his eyes towards the beast men
“……the country cannot exist without its people As a ruler, it is my duty to love and defend my people, and let no one take their future away from them”
“……”
“My father told me those words all the time”
Leowald confirmed the faces of his people
“……ether?”
