In the hotel.

"Dimi, do you know the name of the town general of Yoranta?" The girl asked.

"It was a female brigadier general, I remember...... Melia," Dimi replied, "but the intelligence says she hasn't been seen in the Yoranta area for a long time. Now the de facto ruler of Yoranta is the nobleman surnamed Eusta, and your mother is also in his estate......"

"In other words, you don't know where Melia came from."

"The mercenary guild didn't say anything about the information I was given." Dimi's face was full of helplessness.

"That's good." The girl touched her chin.

"Looks like I'm missing something important." Dimi said sullenly.

"No, it has nothing to do with you, it doesn't matter if you don't know." The girl said.

"Even if you say so...... Dimi recalls the information provided by the Mercenary Guild, but there is no actual information on it except for a few entries about "amazing beauty", "close relationship with the church", and "rarely personally managing the territory". Dimi had come into contact with many such low-level generals in the empire, and since he didn't bring troops to fight her, he didn't care too much.

But since Victoria said so, then this Brigadier Meria must have something to do with their actions. Then look for an opportunity to ask someone about her, Dimi thought. Most likely, she has returned to the territory.

Looking at Dimi's distressed look, the girl scratched her head.

In Okad, Melia hid her real surname for a long time, and on all occasions when her full name was required, she signed "Melia? Goth's name - At the time, Melia thought her lover was dead and changed her surname to "Goth" in her honor. The surname "Goth" is not common, but few people can associate the Okard woman with Elrios's "Star of the Stars".

Rather, it was the Pope of the Holy See, or the Speaker of Nicholas of Okade, whom the maiden believed must know Melia's secrets. But for these people, it is not Goth who needs to be feared, but Melia's high-ranking biological father.

The only daughter of the great Lord of the Black. Even the emperor may not know this secret, but the girl, the "author of the world", remembers it clearly.

The girl doesn't fully trust the Black Lord, but Meria is a noble companion. At least this time, she can help herself. Even if Elizabeth can't be released directly? Douglas, you can still do it with one eye open and one eye closed.

The fly in the ointment is that Melia agreed to cooperate with her purely for Goth's face...... If possible, the girl hopes to complete the rescue on the premise that Melia does not release the water. Melia's prestige in Okad will not be too shaken either.

At this time, the girl did not know...... Melia's castle has welcomed an uninvited guest who has restrained her.

----------------------

Inside Blackstar Castle.

"'Eternal Blood'!" Melia reached out to shake hands with the white-robed man with the silver mask, "Welcome." ”

"Your Excellency." The hand of the "Eternal Blood" and Melia clasped together.

"What are you going to do?" Melia asked in a low voice.

"Official business." "Eternal Blood" replied indifferently.

"Hey, why are you so tense," Lijie next to her couldn't stand it, she already knew about the competition between the two, and hurriedly started a round, "You're colleagues, aren't you?" Melia, let's go inside. I'm having a good chat with you......"

……

Moments later, in the castle's dining room.

In the eyes of the "Eternal Blood", the decoration of Melia Castle is quite simple. Walking from the main entrance to the dining room, he didn't even see a decent work of art, even the floor tiles were smooth blue. Perhaps this elegant girl didn't pay much attention to this castle that she didn't live in, thought to "Eternal Blood".

Melia, Lizzie, and Eternal Blood sat at the table. Mr. Eusta stood aside.

"Your Excellency, ......Your Excellency" "Eternal Blood" tapped the table top made of mahogany with her index knuckles, "Yu is happy to inform you that you don't need to go to the Five Nations Alliance for diplomatic mediation. The Speaker and His Excellency the Holy See have signed an order, and this task is now left to Yu. ”

"Stop speaking in that inexplicable tone—" Lizzie interjected, "Anyway, what this guy means is that he's going to take care of your work now." Melia, you will continue to serve as my lieutenant. ”

"Lijie. You...... Planning to wait for the army to assemble and set off at Blackstar Castle? Melia muttered. This territory near the Five-Nation Alliance was one of the starting points of the Great Army.

"That's not bad, either. Speaking of which, I had no idea you'd be back today," Lijie said happily, putting her arms around Melia's neck, "Surprise." ”

Melia kept smiling.

Lijie must know nothing. But to say that "eternal blood" doesn't know, it's a big joke. This person simply got the news from the Speaker or the "prison master" that he was going back to the Yoranta area, and made a special trip to find him.

Swapping yourself for "Eternal Blood" would be a good thing for Speaker Nicholas, Melia thought to herself. If you mediate on your own, you will be inclined to resolve the conflict. And the "eternal blood" ...... The only thing he would think about was the interests of the Speaker.

"In my opinion, if you—alas......" Lijie pinched the arm of "Eternal Blood", and "Eternal Blood" showed a complaining look, but still honestly changed his half-pennible tone, "I mean, let those past grievances be written off." You're on the battlefield, I'm in the court, we're all working for Okad. We'll work together from now on, okay? ”

Melia seemed to be lost in thought.

"The Speaker has decreed that your status as a saint will be made public after the end of the military campaign against the Five Nations Alliance," said "Eternal Blood," "and the fact that you are a saint of the Holy See will never be revealed." ”

"Yes," said Lijie, "when I first heard about it, I was shocked. I know you're not the one to leave your territory alone, but I didn't expect ...... Listen to me, Melia, you have to tell the rest of you. ”

"You're right, Lizzie," Melia said, "you can't go on like this. But not everyone is as generous as you. ”

"Everyone will understand," Lijie said boldly, "The lord and his comrades have become 'saints', and it is too late for everyone to be happy." Didn't the Speaker remove you from your post either? At all times, Melia, you are our comrade-in-arms and colleagues. ”

There have been several instances in history of Okard's generals holding positions in the Holy See.

"I'll leave it to me this time, and you and Lizzie will focus on fighting," Eternal Blood said with a smile, "and you'll be able to keep everything you have in Okad." How is it? ”

Melia smiled wryly.

There is absolutely no room for refusal.

"I see," said Melia, "I'll do as the Speaker tells me." ”

"Great...... I mean, I'm with you again, Melia. Lijie said excitedly.

"When are you going to leave for the Five Nations Alliance, Eternal Blood?" Melia's focus has returned to Eternal Blood.

"I'm a diplomat," "Eternal Blood" waved his hand, "I'm not a pioneer, so I can't rush it." Well...... Just talk about it in your territory for a few more days, and wait until the gang of the Five Nations Alliance panics, and then it's not too late to set off. Fight a few more victories, and it's not too late for me to strike! ”

"Understood." Many thoughts crossed Melia's mind. This man didn't go for peace at all.

"It's almost time......" "Eternal Blood" looked at the wall clock in the corner.

"Eusta. Prepare two rooms for them. Melia said.

"Yes." Eusta said.

With this guy staring, it seems that it will be difficult to help you this time, His Highness Dimi...... Melia said to herself. All she could do was to stick the Eternal Blood and Lijie to herself, so that they wouldn't disturb Dimi and Victoria's plans.
