章 48: One kingdom: One empire

“I don’t think anyone in this room aside from me know just how terrifying that woman can be.” Maria stared at everyone. Every single one of them. “If she willed, she could destroy all us without much effort. However- right now, she’s not all powerful. She’s not invincible. She’s not… A god. However- if we hand over Cirvena, if we hand over what she needs to be invincible, what then? As the elf stated, what proof do we have that she won’t just enslave us or rather, destroy us?”

Silence.

Maria spoke the truth-

The truth everyone knew in their hearts.

Yet-

“You, yourself just said she has the power to destroy us a moment ago-” Argued the prince.

“Yes. But I also said, she’s not invincible right now. The only reason she gave you a hundred days is so that she can recover her strength.”

Back then, the queen even had to borrow mana from Maria- and- now that she thought about it, why did the Queen just back off without destroying the army?

Why’d she ask for compensation?
