“I see… If the great Tarot empire is preparing for the prophecy, then our kingdom must prepare too… Did the demons attacked the Tarot empire too before?” Sera asked Slime while she put her hand on her chin as she starts to gather her thoughts once more.

“Yes, we did,” (Slime)

Slime explained to Sera from the beginning of the story, from how Magra the orc asked their help. Slime avoid giving her the details to make sure she didn’t ask too many questions, but Sera caught one thing when Slime told her the story.

Slime’s eyes are looking towards the distance as he couldn’t help but feel nostalgic when he tells the story. The memories flowed endlessly making he couldn’t help but think.

(Time sure flows quickly, huh…) (Slime)

The scenes where Magra ask their help and became one of their brothers. How that small goblin tribe, has become a huge and powerful empire in just a few years. How he and the others search for allies and fought for the magical forest of Everdeen’s peace.

(Damn, I start to think that I want to go back now…) (Slime)

“Tarot empire must be a great country,” Sera’s words brought Slime back to reality.

“Eh? Well… Yup, it’s indeed a wonderful one…” Slime said as he finally shows a genuine smile. Sera that finally saw his genuine smile got captivated by it and quickly tilt her head to both sides as if clearing her thoughts.

“The empire must have a great emperor. Everyone loves their homeland, but your eyes told me how lovely the days at your homeland is. As if you’re enjoying every second of your life at your homeland, and as if you can’t wait to go back to there,” (Sera)

“People usually prefer to live in a place where they can have greater relations, greater wealth, and greater influence. Because of people like that, violence, injustice, and oppression spread as people prioritize wealth and power,” (Sera)

“You know what? I’m aiming to make a country where the citizens will love their country like how you love the Tarot empire. A country where the citizens feel save and could enjoy their days in peace…” (Sera)

Sera shifted his gaze towards Slime.

Just like a strong storm, her gaze is firm and powerful.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Her face showed her strong determination.

“Do you think I could make such a country?” Sera asked Slime.

Slime’s heart couldn’t help but moved when he saw Sera’s face that filled with determination.

(What a wonderful determination… Not only your strength, but you’ve also matured well… I’m glad that this kingdom has a princess like you…) (Slime)

“Well, as long as your spirit remains like this throughout your journey, it will. As long as your goal and your determination remain unchanged, anytime you need some help, I might lend you a hand, princess,” (Slime)

“Really!? That’s relieving to hear!” Sera’s eyes lits as she answered cheerfully.

“Yes. I won’t break my promise. But princess, I think you’ve forgotten about the real reason why you invited me for this breakfast because our topic had deviated to several directions, I believe your real reason is to ask whether I am the culprit of the Potterland’s noble…” (Slime)

“Ah!” Sera exclaimed in surprise as she had just remembered about that.

“Sadly, that night, I’m having a meeting together with the Potterland kingdom’s ambassador. You may ask them directly whether I’m lying or not,” Said Slime calmly.

“I-I see…” (Sera)

“And about the prophecy, let me give you a piece of advice, treat this as my present for the Grandaria kingdom that became the first alliance of the great Tarot empire,” (Slime)

“The demons will not attack in the next half-year, but they will attack in the next several years. So don’t just focus on the demons, it’s time for the humans to finish the matters amongst you first since it won’t be wise to fight together with someone you can’t trust, right?” Slime said as he shrugged.

“Indeed…” (Sera)

“Well, Thanks for the meal, princess. I’ll be taking my leave..” Slime said as he stands)

“I see… Guards! Escort-” (Sera)

“It’s fine, I think I’ll be enjoying a leisure walk on this nice day. So there is no need to send some escort for me, princess. Now, if you’ll excuse me,” Slime said as he gives a slight bow towards Sera and left the residence.

Looking at the blue sky above, Slime mutter to himself, “Now… What place should I go next..?”

“How’s the progress, Gareth?” Gurolf’s voice appears behind Gareth.

“It went smoothly, I guess it will go all according to his imperial majesty’s plans. How is it on your side?” (Gareth)

“Well, I think I just got the short end of the stick. The plan is for me to use my strongest spells to destroy at least one of their kingdom, but it turns out that the rift sends me to the strongest demon of the demon realm, making me exhausted my mana and need to wait for several to recover fully. It’s very troublesome…” Gurolf shrugged his arms as he complains about his battle with Baal.

“I see… The strongest demon, huh… So it must be the 1st ranked demon king, Baal, huh… How strong is he?” (Gurolf)

“To be honest, if I measure just by the spells and prowess he used in our battle, we might barely win if at least three of our levels attacked him together. But I think he’s far stronger than that, he acts and thinks coldly, I think he’s holding his power back in order to give us the wrong information,” Gurolf said as a serious expression formed when he recalled his battle with Baal

“It might look like it’s my win at first, but after thinking back, the amount of the presences at the kingdom didn’t decrease even after I summon all of those forbidden spells…” (Gurolf)

“Are you sure you’re not thinking too much, Gurolf?” (Gareth)

“It might be because I exhausted my mana too much and make a mistake on sensing their presences, actually it is far more relieving if it is like that. But somehow, I couldn’t shake the feeling that they’re trying to make us underestimate them. That’s why I’m checking on you, Gareth,” (Gurolf)

“I see… In my case, it’s going according to the plan rather smoothly. But it seems it’s impossible to destroy many kingdoms since their elite soldiers and especially the demon kings are too much for the summoned undead,” (Gareth)

“But the damage the undead gave to their kingdoms are severe. And we’ve cut a lot of the number of their soldiers. It’s all went according to his majesty’s plans,” (Gareth)

“I see. Good to hear that,” Gurolf finally revert to his usual self and show a refreshed smile.

“But Gareth, if it’s true that Baal is hiding his strength when he fought you, how powerful do you think his actual strength is?” (Gareth)

“Hm… You could say that if my worry is true, then he might at least two times stronger than me in terms of combat prowess,” (Gurolf)

“I see…” Gareth mutters as he narrowed his eyes.

“What is it, Gareth?” Asked Gurolf.

“Nothing. I’m just wondering, between the most powerful demon, Baal, and the most powerful undead, who is the strongest?” Explained Gareth.

“Hm… You mean that ancient undead dragon, right? I see… I think it will be interesting to watch them fight, but do you know Gareth? There is one thing that bothers me since the beginning of our conversation, no, since a long time ago,” Gurolf’s face suddenly went back to a serious one.

“What is it?” Gareth responded with the same serious expression.

“I couldn’t help but feel strange talking to you with that human form of yours.

“….” (Gareth)

No country didn’t know the sudden appearance of the Tarot empire that form an empire inside the magical forest of Everdeen that everyone feared.

Just like a small fire that lits and starts to spread. Following the appearance of the Tarot empire, some forces that had been hiding and acting behind the scenes had decided to appear to the surface.

“Lady saintess…” A person said as he kneeled in front of a praying girl.

“Yes, I know… Let’s go,” The one called the saintess stands.

“It’s time to meet and gather the demons,” (Saintess)
