Chapter 1699: Maintaining the Balance (1/2)
”What?” Haru was surprised.
Diseum nodded and said, ”You might know this devil already. He's Oliver Schtrom.”
”You mean the one that was defeated by Shin?” Haru asked.
”....” Diseum wanted to say that Haru was also the one who cornered Oliver, but he didn't say much and nodded. ”Yes.”
”I see. It is very terrible news.” Haru nodded and showed a shocked expression.
”.......”
'Is that all?'
”Kasugano-kun, are you not going to do anything?” August suddenly asked.
”Your Highness!” Everyone wanted to scold August, who was being too hasty.
”My position on the Els isn't high, and you should know that in the Els, there are a lot of council members, so we need to discuss everything before we can conclude,” Haru said.
”You mean that we're lying?” One of them suddenly asked with an annoyed expression.
”I believe in your words since I have seen Oliver Scrotum, but what about the people in my country? Will they believe so easily and send a troop to stop the devil as long as I open my mouth? Please, I'm not the king of the Els, and even though the relationship between the Earlshide Kingdom and the Els isn't bad, we're still from a different country, and we can't trust each other that easily. Sending a troop isn't something that can be done so easily,” Haru said simply.
”..........” His words were right, but they gritted their teeth. After all, the danger was right in front of them, but other countries couldn't believe each other.
”I know the matter of the devil is important, but there's something more important, right?” Haru said.
”Something more important?” Everyone was confused, wondering what something more important than the matter of the devil that destroyed the Bluesphere Empire was.
”What is the plan of your country regarding Shin Wolford?” Haru asked directly, wondering what the Earlshide Kingdom was going to do with the Shin Wolford.
”........” Everyone was in silence.
”Shin Wolford is a powerful magician, and with him, staying in this kingdom, it can be said, he can become the weapon to deter any enemies or countries since with his magic, he can destroy a country or two. He was also the one who had defeated Oliver Schtrom, the one who had destroyed the Bluesphere Empire.” Haru looked at Diseum and said, ”Based on what you're going to do with Shin Wolford from now on, there might be a war between your country and us.”
”!!!!”
”What?!” Everyone was dumbfounded.
”Isn't that obvious?” Haru looked at the rest of them who showed such a reaction and said, ”What we want is to maintain the current status between us, and you should know with the Bluesphere Empire is destroyed, and once the devil is cleaned up from that land, you guys are going to get all of the lands of the Bluesphere Empire, especially with Shin Wolford in your land, I'm sure that you all can do anything without worry.”
”Don't slander our country! We won't do something like that?”
Haru didn't even put a glance on this person and said, ”Your Majesty, you should put a leash on your dog, so he won't bark so carelessly.”
”You!!!” The male in his early 20's was burning in anger when he heard Haru's words.
”Marquez, get out!” Diseum shouted.
”Your Majesty, I...” The male was in shock.
”Didn't you hear my words?” Diseum stared at the male without his usual kind expression.
”.......” The male gritted his teeth and kneeled before he left, but before that, he kept staring at Haru, but he was ignored by Haru, which annoyed him.
”...........” No one said anything. After all, they knew the male had shown disrespect and caused trouble in this meeting, but at the same time, they also didn't like Haru. After all, this guy had slandered their country.
