Peter dismissed his classmates and instructed them to prepare as the march will start in 2 hours, but it turns out that they’ve entered the capital fully prepared and are ready to march anytime.

Some of them conversed with the Grandarian generals and Duke Renstenor and ask the details about how they’ll be marching and other information that they need to know about the upcoming war.

Looking at the scene made Peter remembered that his classmates are full of geniuses that came from renowned families. All of them are either the children of Grandarian great nobles or generals, and one of his classmates is the daughter of the supreme general.

“Pete- I mean your majesty,” Brandon called out towards Peter.

“What is it, Brandon?” Asked Peter. He about to say that it’s fine to just call him Peter, but Sera will smack his head if he said it in front of the great generals and Duke Renstenor, so he decided to not say it.

“That guy… Had that guy back yet…?” (Brandon)

“T-that guy…?” The question is something that he couldn’t answer. Rather than he is in a situation where he can’t say it, he doesn’t have the slightest clue about it, even though he had been searching continuously for three years.

Looking at Peter’s face, Brandon’s face darkens.

“It’s fine, you don’t need to answer,” said Brandon as he leaves the meeting room.

After all of them left the special class of the magic academy, everyone took their own respective ways. Some of them take over their family matters, some of them went on a journey, some of them continue to trained themselves, and some of them became adventurers or mercenaries.

Brandon is one of the people that became an adventurer. His strength is well known, but the quests he took are those that related to unknown places, missing people, unidentified monsters, and everything that related to demons.

Thinking about it, Peter realized one thing.

(Y-you’ve tried your best too, huh… In the end, all of us is trying the same thing) (Peter)

“What did he say?” Sera asked Peter as she got curious because their expression suddenly went dark.

“He… He’s asking about Ren,” (Peter)

“I see…” Said Sera. She doesn’t look surprised by it.

“You’re not surprised?” (Peter)

“Well, we all knew about his obsession with Ren. And all of us knew that his obsession came from his admiration towards Ren,” Explained Sera.

“True,” A cute voice appeared from a small figured girl.

“L-lady Griselda Lockhart,” (Peter)

Griselda Lockhart. She is the former classmate of Peter, Albus, Sen, Edreale, Alfred, Sera, and Oz. The one that given the title, the ‘Saintess of Wisdom’. The legendary magic god ranked magician, Oxius, declared himself that she has the greatest potential that might surpass even himself.

She is one of the rare magicians that managed to enter the sword god rank. her unique magic and her researches are well known not only in the Grandaria kingdom but in the whole Ablux continent.

“I met him at the Bareland city. He seems to be searching for clues about Ren Arken, so I accompany him for a while,” said Griselda.

“Bareland city? The place where Ren disappeared?” (Peter)

“Yes, your majesty,” He said with an indifferent tone similar to Edreale’s.

“Wait. You accompanied him? I thought the both of you are in a bad relationship with each other,” Commented Sera.

“Well. The one searching for clues about Ren Arken’s whereabouts is not only you guys, you know? Most of us felt that we owed a great thing to him as he doesn’t hesitate to help and give us pointers when we ask him,” (Griselda)

“Well, our research ends up with getting nothing as a clue, but one thing for sure, we all believed that he’s not dead yet. At first, all of us decided to cut our ties with the Grandaria kingdom as the queen easily announced Ren as the culprit behind the demonic outbreak, even I considered joining hands with the Potterland kingdom, you know?” Griselda said a shocking thing with her indifferent face.

“T-that might be dangerous if you really joined them…” Sera said with a wry smile.

“And that’s why you need to tell me the truth, your majesty. Do you really know nothing about Ren Arken’s whereabouts? Or even a clue about him?” Asked Griselda as she stares at Peter.

Different from a normal person, Griselda has the ability to detect lies and truth accurately. And she is a great military power to have, having her support is like having another Albus or another Oxius. Hearing her words, Sera also stared at Peter with curious eyes.

(Well, he did say that I could use this information as I see fit) (Peter)

“Actually…” (Peter)

Peter explained the only clue about Oz that he had only heard recently from an unexpected source. The one that knew his identity is the loyal guard that had been protecting him since he’s a kid, and Ren Arken alone.

But suddenly, the man called Slime Tarot told him that he knew his secrets, it all happened right when Slime told Peter the plan of taking over the throne from minister Egan.

“He only said one thing, ‘I obtained this information from the man you and your friends had been searching for long’,” Said, Peter.

“I tried to squeeze the information from him, but since the time is short and we’re in an urgent matter where we need to take care of prime minister Egan and the ambassador of the Potterland kingdom, so I stop pursuing him on that matter, at least until we finished this war,” (Peter)

“I see… Slime Tarot of Tarot empire, huh…” Griselda and Sera stared at the white-haired man that is talking with an elf that seems to be his assistant.

Before they continue their conversation, Duke Renstenor approached Slime and unexpectedly opens a conversation with him.

“Mr. Slime, I heard of your achievements and how the Tarot empire had helped the Grandaria kingdom in a lot of ways. As a noble of this kingdom, I need to thank you for that,” Said Duke Renstenor as he slightly bowed his head towards Slime.

“It’s my honor to support the renowned Grandaria kingdom, Lord Hugh. There is no need for you to bow your head to me for it as I’m doing what the Emperor ordered me to,” (Slime)

“Is that so? Actually, I’m here to thank you for another thing,” (Duke Renstenor)

“Another thing?” Asked Slime.

“You remember the battle with the demons at the Grandarian capital, Mr. Slime? My son happened to join the fight to protect the capital as I was doing business at the Gracefield kingdom and don’t have enough time to went there. I was in despair when I heard that the Grandaria kingdom had no chance towards the demons, I thought that I’ve lost him, that’s why I need to thank you and the Tarot emperor for it, please let me show you my gratitude,” Duke Renstenor bowed towards Slime once more.

“I see… Then rejecting your gratitude will be a rude thing to do, your welcome, Lord Hugh. We, the Tarot empire are happy to be able to help. And I think now I know why the Grandaria kingdom is known as a great kingdom of the continent. They had great nobles like you, after all,” (Slime)

“HAHAHAHAHA! Your words flatter me, Mr. Slime. but since you’re the commander of that battle and even personally joined the fight, it could also be said that my son is saved by you. I need to give a reward to my son’s savior, what do you want, Mr. Slime? How about marrying my daughter here? She’s a bit rough, but she’s a cute and a good girl inside, you know?” Duke Renstenor pulled one of the great generals, ‘The Valkyrie’, Emily Beller towards him.

“F-father!? What the hell are you doing!” Said the Valkyrie as she kicked his father’s leg. But despite being a general that had great power, her kick didn’t even make Duke Renstenor budge.

“I-I don’t think that’s good, Lord Hugh. Let’s just focus on the war before us first, okay?” Slime was finally startled and couldn’t help but make a wry smile because of Duke Renstenor.

(I really couldn’t handle this guy…) (Slime)

“I see! Then we’ll continue this discussion after the war, HAHAHAHA! By the way, Mr. Slime, when will your army arrive here?” Asked the Duke.

“Hm? I think they should be arriving in no time now,” (Slime)

“The soldiers of the Tarot empire have arrived!!!” A messenger’s voice sounded from outside the castle.
