Soon, Duanmu Huai t with the others in his reception room — the First Princess of the Magic Tool Country, Fureya Elgrand Jioular, who holds the title of the Magic Brave Hero, and her sister, the Second Princess, Nolen Clatrisa Georar.
"It’s a pleasure to et you, Your Honor, the Judge."
The two beautiful young ladies stood up respectfully, lifted the hems of their skirts, and curtseyed to Duanmu Huai. Both had pink hair; Fureya, the elder sister, appeared elegant, poised, and beautiful, with a perfect figure. Nolen, though only thirteen, exuded a kind of innocent charm unique to girls, making her endearing.
"Greetings, Princesses."
Duanmu Huai returned their courtesy and then invited them to sit down.
"May I know what brings you both here?"
Upon hearing Duanmu Huai’s question, the two exchanged glances, and then Princess Nolen looked at Duanmu Huai and began to speak.
"Actually, we wish to represent our country in forming an alliance with yours."
"Oh?"
Duanmu Huai raised an eyebrow.
"How so?"
"We have all heard Your Honor’s speeches."
This ti, it was Fureya who spoke.
"The Magic Tool Country has long suffered invasions by the Demon King’s Army, and we hope to free our nation and people from the Demon Clan’s threats. Therefore, upon hearing Your Honor’s speeches, we saw an opportunity. The Hero has always borne the responsibility of defeating the Demon King and repelling the Demon Clan’s attacks, but this does not solve the problem once and for all. To truly free the people from the Demon Clan’s threats, we believe Your Honor’s ideas are most feasible, which is why we ca here to discuss an alliance with you in person."
"So the Magic Tool Country wants to ally with us......"
Duanmu Huai pondered for a mont.
"Are you not planning to invite the Guardian Country?"
"They rejected our request."
Princess Nolen answered sowhat discontentedly, puffing her cheeks and showing a uniquely cute expression.
"Even though my sister and I only wanted to talk to them, the Guardian Country refused even this...... After all, for those with protection, they probably don’t care about such trivial matters."
Among the three great countries, the Guardian Country has the most power, while the Summoning Country is the weakest. Ideally, all three countries should unite to form a United Army against the Demon Clan. However, it is clear that this possibility is slim, as the Guardian Country seems unwilling to lower themselves and join this joint military action.
Or perhaps they have other ideas.
After all, Duanmu Huai is also cautious about the protection they possess.
"How interesting."
Duanmu Huai nodded, leaning back on the sofa and staring at the two.
"I understand your intentions, but how do you plan to persuade to act with you?"
"What?"
Upon hearing Duanmu Huai’s inquiry, Fureya was montarily taken aback.
"But didn’t Your Honor say you wanted to eliminate the Demon Clan? Isn’t this entirely aligned with our goal? Wouldn’t it be better for everyone to work together?"
"I understand what you an, Your Honor."
In contrast, Princess Nolen nodded gracefully.
"We can negotiate on the distribution of conquered Demon Territory and assets......"
"That’s for this country to consider."
Duanmu Huai interrupted Princess Nolen’s speech.
"It seems you misunderstand sothing. I am not a person of this country. I choose to eliminate the Demon Clan because it is my duty. I am here because this country summoned . So, the benefits this country gains have nothing to do with ."
"Uh...... This......"
Fureya and Nolen were montarily stunned by Duanmu Huai’s response; the latter’s expression remained unchanged, but she was internally surprised.
Before coming here, Nolen had gathered a lot of intelligence and learned that the Summoning Country also had two princesses, about the sa age as her and her sister. According to common sense, since this Judge is so powerful, the king of the Summoning Country would certainly have his daughters curry favor and maintain a good relationship with this Judge.
But now it seems...... that might not be the case?
What is the king of the Summoning Country doing?
Although only thirteen and lacking the powerful strength of her sister Fureya, Princess Nolen’s intellect and wisdom were second to none. Her judgnt had reasons. In her view, if the king of the Summoning Country had entrusted his troops to this Judge’s command, then it showed Duanmu Huai had undoubtedly gained the king’s trust.
However, considering that Duanmu Huai is not from the Summoning Country but was summoned here, the king must have reached an agreent with him through so ans or another, otherwise, it would be impossible to entrust the command of his army so easily.
As for what ans were used, considering he has two daughters, that thod seed easy to guess.
Nolen thought she had guessed correctly, but now she realized she was completely wrong.
Duanmu Huai did not care about the interests of the Summoning Country; this was no bluff but genuine indifference. This indicated that there was no agreent related to mutual benefits between him and the Summoning Country, raising the question of why the king would entrust him with command. It was utterly incomprehensible.
