Chapter 154 - What is this ominous feeling??? (2/2)
Alisha thinks back to how this happened
--------------------
There was a meeting for all the influential people in Pars. Alisha attended as royalty since the prince disappeared and the king was ill and the queen was in another kingdom
Alisha: Absolutely not, these people came to celebrate the peace we finally achieve and you want to conscript them! That would be a fragment use of power Lord Mateo
she says to a lord with a twisty mustache
the high priest Gideon then speaks out
High priest: Please consider your highness, due to the nature of the Xing Kingdom and epidemic may happen. If it does military intervention may be required
{he means the Daemon blight}
Alisha: perhaps but deploying an army and reinforcing its ranks are too different matters
”I'm afraid they are not”
Suddenly the Shepard Artorius spoke
Artorius: Where would find the manpower to send a security force if we do not have the necessary manpower. You, your highness, should be using patriots in the royal family name. That is the duty of your position
Alisha: I see what is going on...you are holding a festival to boost recruitments...I say this in the name of the royal family, we will not use the festival to boost your forces for your crusade...
Alisha went to talk with her master after the meeting a
Alisha: Master...am I wrong in my thinking
Master: it is not that you are wrong...the Xing kingdom is a different state...
Alisha: different state?
Master: Do you know why they focus more on the military than anything else? and why they invade kingdoms?
Alisha shook her head saying do they like war
Master: No... The area has very little natural resources other than iron and stuff for making weapons. but they don't have any land suitable for agriculture...More than likely this 'peace may end up crushing them...plus now that King IL is dead (Yona father) and the current king actually is a decent king. he won't give up any of his land away...I also heard rumors from our spies they allied together...
A thought accord to her then. The forces are using this time of peace to gather and strengthen their forces and fighting together then they would strike this kingdom together...so the shepherd is going to strike first using crusade as a means of a way of avoiding negative. He will spread that they are corrupt in their ideas and attack them...during this war daemons will start appearing and...how many people will die...if there was a way to help everyone without havening people suffering...a way to unite everyone...but they would need something or someone to oppose...to stand together. Then they can share their resources and
Alisha: Master write a letter to Soo-won the current king. Also write a letter to the king of Xing. Asking them to join the festival...I want to have a discussion with them...
Master: I hear that the current king is ill
Alisha mumbles to herself: why are all the kings ill...wasn't the night I left the king was ill...is it just a coincident?
Alisha: then I'll just go there and meet with the princesses and have one of them come as a representative. that would be showing goodwill...
Master: you should bring the Abby...they can investigate the area too and cleanse for any daemons in the area. (Plus their devotees are kind of insane...)

Alisha stares at the fire as it flickers
Alisha: it will be fine...I'll make sure of it...
