The magic cards I made are absolutely flawless!

The two people and one demon on the sofa stared at Dekan and Lunn, and they remained silent for a long time.

at last.

Lenn clenched the file folder in his hand, a bitter smile gradually appearing on his face.

"Drois, it may be ironic to say this to you."

“When I was young, I swore to the goddess that I would dedicate my life to the Holy Kingdom and the Holy Church, to sweep away evil and uphold justice.”

"But now, am I, Lunen, forced to take the step of 'becoming a great traitor to the Holy Kingdom'?"

Lenn looked at Dekan and said with a self-deprecating tone.

"..."

Dekan did not reply.

The world becomes quite ironic when a saint has to confess to the devil.

At this moment, Dekan finally confirmed that Len had noticed the clues of the anomaly in the Holy City a long time ago.

However, Lenn could not tell anyone about all of this.

Actually, there was already a slight sense of unease from the moment Len asked Delois to find a way to make peace—

Despite having a significant advantage, the pro-war faction leader, Lenn, sought peace talks instead.

Lenn's aim was not merely to reduce the losses of the war.

More importantly, the worried Lunen wanted to end his worries about the Demon Realm as soon as possible, and create the conditions for launching a war against the Holy Capital at any time!

"Lun, were you actually already prepared to attack the Holy Capital?"

Dekan observed Lenn's expression and finally disregarded the restriction in mission objective 2 that "Lenn's bottom line must not be violated," and asked.

Dekan finally understood that mission objective 2 was actually just "to fulfill Lenn's wishes" from beginning to end.

The low mortality rate in the Krann Territory reflects Lenn's desire as lord—to protect his people.

Besides that, Lenn's other wish was always to save the world.

There are limits to the territory of Kokran. Even though Lunn cares for the world, as a border lord, he cannot save so many people.

Given this conflicting mission—wanting to protect the residents of the Kran territory while also rescuing as many refugees as possible—the only way to achieve both is to attack the Holy Capital and resolve the chaos in the Holy Kingdom at its root.

However, Lenn was hesitant and found it difficult to become a rebel who started the war without conclusive evidence.

On the other hand, Lunn was also unwilling to believe that the Holy Kingdom had already decayed and withered without his knowledge.

"...During this period, more than one spies from other territories came to me, conveying the intention of their lords that they no longer wanted to tolerate the tyranny of the Holy Capital and the incompetence of the Holy Emperor. They hoped that I could take the lead and end all of this."

At this point, Len finally opened the document in his hand.

"I've also been secretly trying to investigate the situation in the south. Ever since the war between the Holy Kingdom and the Demon Realm came to an end, the Holy Capital has always given me an unusual feeling."

Lenn's expression was remarkably calm as he flipped through the pages, as if none of the contents surprised him.

“I’ve even suspected that behind this war, in our rear, some unspeakable entity may have been secretly infiltrating us. However, I have never been able to obtain any conclusive evidence to prove anything. All the evidence seems to have been perfectly erased. They are like a hypothetical enemy, and it is even difficult to prove their existence.”

Finally, Lenn finished reading everything, took a deep breath, and then sighed.

Beneath his seemingly calm exterior, his anger had actually reached its peak.

Even without saying anything more, the people in the room knew that Lenn's mind was made up.

He will rally the feudal lords and launch a rebellion.

End all these absurd atrocities committed by the Holy Kingdom.

"Drois, I ask you, was starting this war really the right thing to do?"

Lunn looked at Dekan, his tone unusually heavy.

As someone who hated the Demon Realm's war against the Holy Kingdom more than anything, Lunen still harbored doubts about whether he was making a mistake at this moment.

For some reason, he felt that only Doloice, his close friend, could answer this question.

Even though Dolois is a guy with an extremely strange identity, personality, and stance.

"Indeed, even if the initial intention of this war was to uphold justice, there will always be misfortune in war, and innocent people will inevitably die as a result. Sometimes, even upholding justice inevitably means bearing the burden of sin."

Dekan spoke slowly and deliberately.

He paused, met Lenn's gaze, and his eyes were exceptionally firm.

"But this is not your fault."

"The guilt that may torment your conscience in the future cannot be defined by good or bad intentions."

"It's just that you've embarked on this thorny path, and the damage you're bound to suffer is inevitable."

a long time.

Len handed the file bag to Chloeux.

"Chloix, help me write official documents. I need to send letters to like-minded lords."

At that moment, Lunn's entire gaze changed. He was no longer the gentle nobleman burdened with worries, but rather a resolute and unwavering fighter, as if he had returned to his youth.

"I, Lunen, sever all ties with that corrupt and decadent Holy Emperor from this day forward!"

After Lenn took that oath.

The mission has finally received a long-awaited update:

[Mission Objective 2 is on track and has a significant advantage. Mission Objective 3 has been unlocked: Assist Len in attacking the Holy Capital, unifying the Holy Kingdom, and truly ending the chaos caused by this long war.]

Finally, everything became clear in this world of shadows.

Dekan smiled with relief and looked at Lenn, asking:

"So, Len, do you still need my help this time?"

"Will you help me?"

Lenn was slightly taken aback; he hadn't expected Dolois to continue helping him.

"of course."

"......it is good."

Even after knowing each other for more than ten years, Lenn still doesn't fully understand Doloice's motives.

In Lenn's view, what could bring Doloice happiness seemed to be nothing more than tormenting the most heinous demons.

Dolois also strongly resisted harming innocent humans, even to the point of crossing a line she would rather die than cross.

All of this made Deloitte appear to be a great philanthropist.

But Lenn was quite certain that Deloitte's actions were not motivated by good intentions.

Instead, it was as if it were locked up.

He was chained to the boundary between good and evil, unable to follow his demonic instincts to commit evil, nor to truly understand kindness.

They were just numbly searching for something.

Initiating this rebellion would inevitably result in innocent casualties, which clearly violated Delois's consistent principle of clarity and order.

But at this moment, he chose benevolence and righteousness with absolute certainty.

This is different from the previous Deloitte.

unless.

Delois has taken a step out of some kind of shackle.

To truly, and no longer dogmatically, implement the principle of doing good.

"What will be the price?"

Lenn smiled sincerely and extended his hand to Dekan as if handing over a check without a number written on it.

For some reason, Lenn was moved and happy for his friend.

This version of Deloitte finally proved to be truly trustworthy.

Dekan firmly grasped Lenn's hand.

"Someone has already paid for you."

As he said this, Dekan looked away.

Although a smile appeared on his lips, his eyebrows were lowered.

Upon closer reflection...

The mighty demon Delois only makes money at a loss.

In order to pay for those three years of tuition, they have done so many good deeds over the past twenty years.

However, perhaps doing good deeds really will bring good fortune.

"..."

Talomatti watched all of this from the sofa.

Her lips trembled slightly, but she remained silent.

Watching my brother's every move and hearing his heartfelt words.

She finally became convinced that her brother had completely changed.

He probably doesn't even realize that he can no longer be called a demon.

She seemed to finally understand what Doloice had been searching for all along, and what the changes in Eve were.

Human kindness, like a seed, can be planted in a demon, but it is difficult for it to grow normally.

But as long as there are demons who are willing to defy common sense and choose to believe, choose to experience, and are willing to give up and integrate, the illogical thing of "demons understanding goodwill" will eventually take root and sprout.

……

More than three months later.

A city in the southern part of a holy country.

The streets are bustling with people; it seems like every day is a celebration or festival lately.
