The world is constantly changing, regardless of my will. And I can never remain uninvolved. This incident has remined me of that.
Although the Vallegarda Empire has made a peace agreement with my country, Braidea, they are still fighting with other countries in all directions. In order to expand their territory, the brothers and sisters of the Vallegarda family are busy invading the human world at this very moment. Many have lost their homeland when their territory was taken by the Empire. For that reason, there are no countries that look upon the Empire with kindness. While there are countries like my country, Braidea, that have made a peace agreement, there are no countries that would ever want to form an alliance.
Under these circumstances, news reaches Berseria.
One of the Empire's camps is on the verge of being wiped out by monsters.
Of course, it is not the camp led by Berseria. It is her brother's camp. While the Empire generally expands its territory by seizing land from other countries, as I had heard from Berseria before, they tend to shun anything magical.
So they likely destroyed it without much thought, thinking, "There's a suspicious stone monument, so let's just destroy it for now." That was the beginning of the tragedy.
The Keystone Beast, whose seal had been released, was in the middle of a rampage. The local area is said to be littered with corpses. At this stage, there has been no news of annihilation, but it is only a matter of time. Their fellow humans are being attacked, yet no one seems to be trying to help. They do not seem to understand that if the Empire's Army is annihilated, they will be next. The invaders who suddenly took their land are now being attacked and annihilated by unidentified monsters. It is not surprising that they find this satisfying. Or rather, it is only natural. But they should not act on emotion alone. After all, the disaster will ultimately be coming their way.
After the Empire's Army is wiped out, this will be a place where no one can set foot. Unless the Keystone Beasts are exterminated. It was in this situation that Berseria said something unexpected.
Chapter length 915 characters.
