Episode 326
‘It’s the day of the decisive battle.’
Teresa, dressed in the royal wizard’s attire, brightened her eyes.
Although she was bothered by the lukewarm response of the king, she was not opposed to what she was trying to do. It will be over soon.
Before Teresa’s visit, the first thing that arrived at Green Cana was a letter.
A soldier from the Kingdom of Veneta rode a horse and visited Green Cana.
When he visited Rodril, the villagers seemed very wary.
A letter saying he would visit in the afternoon. In other words, it was also a noble-style notification to prepare to receive the king’s envoy.
Green Cana prepared to greet her. The preparation was nothing special.
Area and Helmut finally learned who the wizard Fidelis was visiting. Area laughed as if she was shocked.
“Theresa. Was that senior Fidelis? “For some reason, he was trying to ostracize me.”
The eyes staring at Xian were as cold as ice. As if the mere mention of that name was offensive. Xian waved his hand.
“If you get too excited and hit someone to death, you’ll be in trouble. “It was a long time ago, right?”
Helmut, who had been attending Greta Academy for a long time, simply tilted his head.
“I’ve heard this name before… … . Was it the magic department?”
Strangely, Area’s heart relaxed at that attitude.
“Well, okay. It was a long time ago. “She won’t even recognize me.”
If this person uses the transformation spell, there is no way that Teresa Fidelis will be recognized. Her magic skills and Alea’s are significantly different.
At that time, Ygrel, who had been resting his chin, suddenly opened his mouth.
“This is where the incident begins in earnest, right?”
After tormenting Sian for a few days, she became annoyed again. With her eyes glued to Terra, it was not easy for her to touch her.
Terra spoke firmly to Ygrel.
‘Xian refused, please respect his wishes.’
It is clear that neither Terra nor Azer want to have a monster daughter-in-law. This Grell was just playing around because he was bored anyway, so she could have easily quit.
She thought about this new situation for a while and said it was strange.
“But aren’t you going too soft on your part? That Teresa Fidelis or something said she was a subject of King Veneta. They took your villagers hostage there too, so you can take them hostage here too. “It’s simple!”
Ygrel clasped his palms together as if asking if there was such a genius. There was some truth to it.
Xian shook his head.
“That just means fighting.”
“I guess he has more value as a hostage, right? They say there’s only one villager on this side, but on the other side, they’re the king’s subjects. She’s also the daughter of a rather high-ranking duke or something. “You’ll have no choice but to agree to the deal, right?”
Igrel was a person with a good head in this direction. Elaga also responded positively.
[After listening, it seems to be correct. If they come from over there, just take them hostage here too!]
“Then the situation gets bigger. Even if we exchange it like that, the Kingdom of Veneta will turn completely hostile toward us. It’s a kingdom over there, so they can harass this little town in all sorts of mean ways. Just because that side is cowardly doesn’t mean we can become cowards, too. “There must be a better solution.”
Ygrel crossed his arms.
“I don’t understand why the powerful have to endure this.”
[that’s right.]
On one side, Elaga nodded in response.
If someone weaker than me climbs on you, you have to trample them so they don’t do it again. To regret it deeply.
However, the power of a country is different from the power of an individual, and this side had the weakness of not losing a single person.
“Please remain quiet. If you do well, you will be able to go to the royal castle.”
Xian sighed deeply and calmed the group down.
As long as Ygrel didn’t act unexpectedly, there was no one who would cause an accident. In the end, Grell also nodded his head.
“Well, okay.”
Helmut and Area changed their appearances and decided to watch quietly. For now, it was right to follow the opinion of Sian, the landlord.

Teresa, who arrived in the afternoon, was majestic. She appeared in her royal wizard’s robes, mounted on her horse in ornamental armor, and accompanied by her knights and soldiers.
The position of ruling over the king’s subordinates seemed as familiar to her as her own body.
As if to show ‘I became successful after graduating from Greta Academy!’ He will be a great example to his juniors.
Of course, in the first place, as the daughter of Duke Fidelis, Teresa Fidelis was nothing but a solid figure.
Still, it was definitely an achievement for her to reach this position in such a short period of time.
Teresa got off the horse in front of Rodril’s people who had come to the entrance of the village.
“I came here at the behest of King Veneta.”
Even though there was an envoy in front of them who had received the king’s orders, instead of being polite, everyone stood and greeted her with cold eyes.
The people of Rodriel were the majority. All of the people in Green Carna had gone inside their houses except for a few.
There was one unexpected fact. Teresa said with a smile.
“It is a sign of sincerity and trust on our part.”
A man staggered out from among the soldiers. The captured hostage was Uber, the herbalist.
Although his complexion was pale, he looked fine and had no injuries. His wife, Amanda, ran out and hugged him.
“honey!”
“Amanda!”
The two quickly disappeared toward the house to avoid being caught.
Even after seeing the emotional reunion taking place, Terra’s expression did not show signs of relaxation.
“They arrested people arbitrarily, and now they are releasing them and saying it is out of sincerity and trust.”
Teresa answered with a shameless face.
“You have paid the price for illegally trespassing into the king’s forest. “You must have forgotten that the area around Green Kana belongs to the Kingdom of Veneta, right?”
“This mountain range existed before it was part of the Kingdom of Veneta, and the earth spirit existed even before that. “What use is human history in the face of the great power of nature?”

“But except for Rodril, the humans of Green Cana are just humans. Anyway, we released the hostages. There was no violent treatment of the hostages. Although there was some mishap in the process of securing him, the herbalist was treated undeservedly by the royal wizard.”
“I don’t like my junior’s arrogance, but I acknowledge that he did the bare minimum.”
Although she was the daughter of Duke Fidelis, a vassal of King Veneta, Teresa was also a junior from the Academy of Crete.
Teresa also understood Terra’s words right away, saying that she had done this using her school ties as collateral for her friendship with Sian.
“You underestimate my sincerity. However, I think it would be better to stop worrying about trivial disputes.”
“It would be to their advantage to do so. So what do you want?”
Terra turned back to the straight bench. I had no intention of clashing with Teresa right away anyway.
If Terra showed anything, it was in front of King Veneta.
Teresa, biting the knights around her, took a step in front of Terra.
“I would like to speak quietly with Terra.”
Terra reached out her hand as she approached Teresa. A thin layer of dust rose up from the floor.
The wall blocking all sound had suddenly surrounded them. It isolated them from other people.
“His Majesty wants Earth Spiritist Rodril to find the royal castle. He wants to see you with his own eyes and know whether you are harmful to the Kingdom of Veneta or not. As you know, he ascended to the throne after a war for succession, so he is a cautious and cautious person. “You don’t want to leave any risk behind in your territory.”
“How can you believe it’s not a trap? “Couldn’t they see us in person and decide that we are a risk?”
“He is a person who knows how to see people’s hearts. “I’m sure you’ll understand when you see Terra.”
It was Tera who looked just like a docile lady in the neighborhood. Of course, she looks much younger than any woman my age, and has an inexplicable dignity about her.
She never seemed like someone who would go out of their way to harm or threaten anyone.
“I will greet you personally and with great hospitality. All you have to do is chat with His Majesty the King and ask for a simple favor in a comfortable and gentle atmosphere.”
That alone makes Earth Elementalist Rodril friendly to the current King Veneta.
Or, it will be a visible proof that you acknowledge him. From then on, packaging was Teresa’s job.
Terra clicked her tongue.
“It means bowing your head to the king and listening to his orders.”
“It won’t be a difficult request for Terra. I know what you’re considering, but it’s not finalized, so it’s hard to tell right now. Instead, you will get what you want. I don’t think you want a title, so how about a guarantee from the king?”
“guarantee?”
“The Kingdom of Veneta recognizes the autonomy of Green Cana. It will not demand taxes, and will allow free exchange with villages in the Venetian Kingdom, and this will remain in effect as long as the Venetian Kingdom is maintained. Well, how about this? It is notarized as a document with the king’s seal. Also, if you wish, some wealth. “This is a gift not from His Majesty the King, but from me as a junior at Greta Academy.”
The school years aren’t enough, so they even resort to money. Teresa was a proper wizard in that she used all the means at her disposal to achieve her goals.
Terra was a little appalled, but also understood. Teresa is not an ordinary wizard and is the head of the magic department.
So, considering that personality is bound to be like that, it is understandable even if you have been to the academy.
Because I have already encountered such people.
‘It brings back old memories.’
Anyway, I had already made up my mind to say yes. Terra nodded his head without difficulty.
“I understand what you are saying. But we can’t completely trust you either.”
“You are welcome to bring your companions. Green Cana’s power was beyond what I expected.”
Teresa smiled meaningfully. As if they knew who visited here.
But Terra also knew one thing. She knew that no matter who she counted as power, she would not include Elaga and Grell.
“I agree.”
“Then I will give you time to prepare. See you again tomorrow. You will be transported directly to the castle through magic. “I must report this to His Majesty the King.”
Teresa concluded with a smile.
“I hope you have a peaceful day.”
