157 – Change (5)

Contrary to my worries, the negotiations went smoothly.

Julia accepted most of the changes I requested.

Tyria and Aeria also accepted it without complaint.

Rather, the elves seemed a little surprised.

Perhaps they thought the conditions were milder than they thought?

However, Julia seemed a little dissatisfied.

“This is a business that is completely losing money.”

Yulia expressed her displeasure by crossing her arms.

She secretly observed Erina’s feelings and did not open her mouth carelessly.

“Still, you created a friendly relationship with the elves.”

“That’s natural. “Still, I wanted to make a profit.”

“Relationships are more important than profits now.”

It’s a disappointing situation right now, but I needed to think a little further afield.

This is the first time negotiations between elves and humans have occurred.

What would happen if we pressured the elves with ridiculous conditions?

It was obvious that the rumor would spread not only to the elves of Hellwood Forest, but also to the elves throughout the country.

There was a high probability that it would be the starting point of conflict between humans and elves.

“Our enemy is the devil’s army. “Elves are allies.”

Yulia nodded her head as if she was convinced by my persuasion, but her expression was not bright.

However, negotiations have already entered the final stage.

I can’t change my words now.

After the conversation with Julia, she entered the conference room.

The elves were also waiting for us, as if the meeting was over.

Tyria’s eyes were shining brightly as she looked at me.

“We will accept the terms of the negotiation.”

“Yes. “It’s the same for us.”

Once mutual agreement was reached and the representative’s signature was written on the document.

Finally, the negotiations between the kingdom and the elves were concluded successfully.

I thought that if I left the conference room like this, my work would be over.

“Can you sit at the table for a moment?”

Before we left, Julia stopped us.

Tyria and Aeria looked at each other for a moment.

After observing the atmosphere, I sat back down in my chair.

Julia crossed her legs with a very serious expression.

From what I could see, it seemed like the story was going to be long.

“Now that the negotiations are over, I have something to tell you.”

“What’s going on?”

“A new force has appeared in the Demon King’s army.”

I couldn’t hide my surprise at Julia’s words.

A new force in the Demon King’s army. I had never heard of such a thing.

“Spirit King. “You guys know best, right?”

Then Tyria’s face turned pale.

Of course, she wasn’t the only one.

All the elf warriors, including Aeria, looked surprised.

“Ifrit, Undine, Sylph. “Three Spirit Kings have joined the Demon King’s army.”

“Then other spirits and fairies…”

“Of course he belongs to the Demon King’s army.”

The atmosphere instantly became solemn at Yulia’s words.

What is the reason why the spirit left the forest and headed to the Demon King’s Army?

In fact, the main cause is the persecution of elves.

Everyone knew it implicitly.

“…It’s because of us.”

Tyria bowed her head and admitted her mistake.

But Julia didn’t want that answer.

“I’m not sure what happened with the spirits.”

“…”

“From now on, the spirits are our enemies. “Keep that in mind.”

The elves have already negotiated with the kingdom, and the spirits have joined the devil’s army.

We crossed a river from which we could not return.

“I thought it would have been better to know in advance.”

“…Yes, thank you.”

The two sisters naturally did not have good expressions when they heard the truth.

This is because their enemies have increased due to their own mistakes.

The others were also lost in thought with tense expressions.

But I wasn’t very shaken.

‘I expected the spirit’s betrayal from the beginning.’

We had already faced off against a spirit in the first round.

I just overlooked the Spirit King.

As Alfred died in the beginning and a vacancy was created in the Four Blades.

It seems that the spirit kings have filled the empty space.

Of course, we need to be alert and prepared for the new enemy.

It was an opponent that did not deviate much from my expectations.

“Anyway, this is the end of the story. “Everyone is welcome to go.”

The meeting ended in a bustling atmosphere.

The two sisters were lost in their thoughts and could not get up from their seats.

“Julia. “I have something to say for a moment.”

After finishing what I had to say, I caught Julia who was trying to get up.

Then Julia smiled and nodded her head.

It was as if he was expecting me to talk to him.

“Yes. “Now that the negotiations are over, shall we go for lunch?”

Leaving the conference room with a natural conversation.

After the elves were too far away to hear, he opened his mouth.

“What I just said. “I said that on purpose.”

Then Yulia giggled and shrugged her shoulders.

“It was something I had to say anyway.”

“There was no need to say that as soon as the negotiations were over.”

In short, Yulia said these words to put pressure on her elves.

She had to say what she said.

It was definitely not something to say as soon as the negotiations were over.

As expected, the two sisters were greatly disturbed.

It naturally created debt in my heart.

“Anyway, it’s a good thing. Is not it?”

Is he trying to take the initiative in this way?

He was shrewd and yet amazing at the same time.

“I understand first of all. “Let’s go first.”

“What about lunch?”

“Let’s do it later. “I have work to do.”

Then Julia nodded her head, saying she understood.

Just then, George comes out of the conference room.

Julia invited George to have lunch.

Immediately, Colin and her servants walked away from the conference hall.

“Then let’s see next time. Sir.”

“…Yes. All right.”

George left, calling me a knight until the end.

Only me and my colleagues were left again.

“Haa…”

With a sigh, she stroked her hair.

Negotiations ended without any problems as I hoped.

All that remains is to invite Tyria to become her colleague.

The reason I declined Yulia’s invitation to eat with her was to meet Tyria.

“Seohyun. “Are you okay?”

Kayla looks at my complexion with a voice full of worry.

Likewise, Erina and Celica were watching me closely.

“I’m fine.”

I felt a little bad, but there were no problems.

“If there is any pain or discomfort, please tell me right away.”

“Don’t worry. “My body is fine.”

In fact, her shoulder was still aching.

I was embarrassed to even have to deal with this much pain.

Above all, I know that the weaker I show, the more agitated I will become.

I was just trying to forget the pain.

“First, let’s go back to the healing center. “I’ll prepare a meal.”

Hearing Celica’s words, she waved her hand.

“No, let’s meet Tyria first.”

“Yes? “Is there anything else you want to say?”

“Yes. “I have something I want to say.”

As soon as I finished speaking, I looked at Erina’s reaction.

You know that I will recommend Tyria and her companions.

I thought there would definitely be a strong reaction.

But Erina quietly kept her mouth shut.

“…”

She even lowered her head, avoiding my gaze.

My body was shaking slightly, feeling anxious and nervous.

“Erina. “Do you have any pain?”

“No…”

Contrary to her answer, her complexion was not very good.

Until now, there were often times when Erina was anxious.

She has never had her mouth shut like this.

Rather, an unexpected problem was occurring here.

‘Something is strange.’

Should I consult with Erina directly?

Tonight, I decided to talk to her before she went to bed.

While we were talking, someone opened the door of the conference room and came out.

“Ah, Seohyun…!”

The first person to come out was Tyria.

And Eiria and her warriors followed behind her.

“Is the story over?”

“Ah, yes…!”

Suddenly Tyria answered my words loudly.

In addition, he was looking at me and showing signs of restlessness.

Is there something I want to say?

He finally seemed to have made up his mind and came towards me and raised his head.

A determined expression and two hands clenched into fists.

He spoke to me in a voice clearly full of determination.

“Can you give me a moment…?”

She immediately nodded at Tyria’s words.

I have been waiting until now because I also have something to say to her.

After her permission was given, Tyria spoke to Aeria, who was watching behind her.

“Go first. “I’ll be there soon too.”

“Tyria. “Are you sure you’ll be okay…?”

For some reason, Aeria was worried about Tyria.

On the other hand, Tyria smiled brightly and looked at her.

“Yes. Do not worry.”

Fortunately, the scuffle did not last long.

At Tyria’s words, Eiria sighed and waved her hand.

“I’ll be waiting. “Come quickly.”

“Yes. All right.”

With her final greeting, Aeria left with her warrior guards.

Finally, Tyria was separated from her own family.

Then her complexion changed for an instant.

Instead of a bright smile, his expression changed into a stern one.

However, his gaze was always directed at me.

“What happened with Aeria?”

While I was away, something must have happened between them.

Otherwise, how could Tyria be nervous looking at me?

“I talked a lot with my sister a little while ago.”

I couldn’t tell what was being discussed.

But it was roughly predictable.

“The reason the spirits and fairies betrayed us is because of us.”

As the persecution and abuse by the elves continued, the spirits and fairies left Hellwood Forest.

He finally joined the Demon King’s army and became an enemy.

In a way, it could be said to be the karma of the elves.

From Tyria’s perspective, the situation could be quite unfair.

At least she with a good heart could not have committed her abuse.

Still, Tyria was feeling guilty.

“It’s not your fault.”

“No. “I just stood by and watched.”

After that, Tyria confessed the reality of the elves she had seen.

Treat the spirits carelessly and make them slaves.

It is said that she carelessly harmed her fairies and forced them to do hard labor.

Even after committing such a thing, the elves did not feel guilty at all.

She just took that kind of daily life for granted.

Of course, the same goes for Tyria.

Even though she knew she was wrong, she kept her mouth shut and just watched.

Only after coming to this point did she regret her past mistakes.

She

She And She Wanted To Take Responsibility For Mistakes.

That’s why.

“Please help me fight against the spirits as a representative of the elves.”

Tyria bowed her head to me and asked.

“Can you accept me as a colleague…?”
