I Just want a Peaceful life

"Warchief Might, don't you think you are too overbearing. Besides, that brat is currently not here." replied King Leon as he released his mana to fight back.

Just as the two strong seventh-grade leaders want to clash, Warchief Might could feel various groups of strong people approaching their location.

Knowing his disadvantage and remembering her cold daughter's warning, "Fine. If he is not here, where is he?" asked Warchief Might.

"Why should I tell you? Besides, what will you do to him?" asked King Leon.

"It's not of your concern! Just tell me where he is?!!" roared Warchief Might rudely.

"Might, this is not your territory. This is Heart!! [Star Dance 1st Step - Flash Strike]" said King Leon coldly.

King Leon blinked and hit Warchief Might from various directions. *Bam* *Bam* *Bam* The Warchief was surprised at King Leon's flurry attack and could only defend his vital spot based on his instinct.

Fortunately, his physical body and strength are off-chart. He could defend against all King Leon's attacks. Still, Might surprise at Leon's speed since he couldn't even see his shadow.

"Enough!!" roared Warchief Might as he released enormous mana to the surrounding.

"Hoo… Such frightening mana." said King Leon sarcastically.

King Leon also releases frightening amounts of mana to fight back. The two strong fire mana clashed and scorched the surrounding area.

Even the ground far below them had already melted into hot sludge. Fortunately, they are on top of a small forest far from the town and human settlement.

"Don't get cocky, puny human [Might Punch]!!" roared Warchief Might.

Seeing the incoming destructive attack, King Leon immediately parries the sword and deflects it upward [Sword Art - Fleeting Grace]. *WHOOSH* King Leon deflects the destructive force upward before [Blink] to avoid Warchief Might's following strike.

Missing the opportunity to fight back, "Tch… Stop moving around like a monkey and face me directly." roared Warchief Might.

"Sure." replied King Leon nonchalantly.

In contrast to his words, King Leon didn't approach Warchief Might frontally and kept using [Blink] to fight. At the same time, few people arrived at their location in the air. All these people were wearing royal guards' armor.

Some of the Royal guards began to chant together while King Leon kept fighting Warchief Might. The Warchief didn't know what kind of magic they would use, but he didn't plan to let it hit him.

A combined spell from the elite Royal Guards is not something he wants to experience. Although Might is confident he can withstand anything with his strong body, he can still feel pain and doesn't have a masochistic tendency despite his battle-hungry nature.

Despite wanting to stop the chanting, the Warchief is also hopeless since he gets stopped by King Leon.

'Annoying!! I could easily break them if I used my full power. But those weak people will definitely die. I doubt Leon will let me off if I kill any of them. Moreover, Leon is completely different from a few years ago. He seems to be stronger.' thought the Warchief inwardly.

"Tch… Fine!! Since that brat is not here, I will leave now. But, don't think you could keep hiding him away." said the Warchief charged somewhere, breaking his encirclement.

"Stop!! Don't pursue him!" commanded King Leon to the Royal Guards f𝒓𝗲𝗲𝒘𝑒𝚋ｎoѵ𝒆𝗹.co𝗺

The Royal Guards stop pursuing Warchief Might and stay on their king's side.

"Why do only a few people arrive here? Garner, list all of the nobles above third grade in the surrounding area that didn't arrive here five minutes from now. I want it on my desk before dinner time." said King Leon.

"Also, secure the perimeter and call the restoration squad. I don't want any curious civilians coming here and getting hurt." added King Leon before disappearing.

"As you command, My Liege." replied the Royal Guards respectfully.

Meanwhile, Duchess Amberblaze is in the middle of negotiation with Red Queen Nabe. Strangely, no monster is approaching them despite the area's high concentration of mana.

"Alright, let's get this straight. You will take care of these five Altras and want another big compensation for each of your kind who gets heavily injured or dead because of this incident."

"If there are any of the nobles of the Heart Kingdom killed in this incident, then Nirvas need to pay 10% of their national annual income for each death for twenty years. If the dead one is high noble, Nirvas will pay 20% of their national income for each death for at least thirty years."

"You also want Nirvas to sell all their space magic tools at half price than the market for the next five years. Is that all or is there something that I miss, Crimson Flash?" smirked Red Queen Nabe.

"Nope, that's all of our demands." said the Duchess while keeping her vigilant.

She knows her demand is absurd and there is no way Nirvas will agree. Since it basically makes the whole Nirvas their gold farm. But the Duchess must also know their bottom line and start negotiation there.

"Hmmm… that's quite a bold and demanding proposal. Unfortunately, I am not part of the Nirvas elders, so I couldn't decide. *Clap* Luckily, we still have this useless blind elder with us." said Nabe with a happy smile and clapped her hand.

"So, what did you think of the Heart Kingdom's proposal? Enticing isn't it?" asked Nabe with a cold smile.

"Urgh… Like hell I will agree to it. Why don't you just make Nirvas become your slave? Argghh!!" yelled the bound Yawan on the ground.

"Nonono… That's wrong, Yawan. You cannot just sell Nirvas to others. I don't understand how you could be so dumb to sell your own nation."

"Selling our kind and giving nation to people is one thing, but you should not casually sell your nation." replied Nabe while shaking her head in disappointment.

'She is really not in the right mind. No, she enjoys torturing that Yawan.' thought the Duchess.

The Duchess could see the subtle happy expression on Nabe's face each time Yawan screamed in agony or anger.

"Now… Now… Let's start again. What did you think about such a proposal?" asked Nabe with a happy smile.

She is excited to hear Yawan's reply and ready to continue torturing Yawan.

"N-No… Arggh!!" screamed Yawan.

"I am sorry. What are you saying again? Come on, Yawan. You are a seventh-grade combatant. Why can't you speak clearly?" asked Nabe.

Then, Yawan's torture continues whenever he speaks the 'no' word or denies the proposal. On the other hand, the Duchess looked at Nabe weirdly. She knows the Red Queen bore hatred towards her own kind and nation.

At the same time, she noticed Nabe didn't want to destroy her nation and its future. Still, she feels the Red Queen gives her too much benefit and help.

"Excuse me, Red Queen Nabe. Why us?" asked the Duchess while ignoring the screaming Yawan.

"Hmm… I may stay and coop inside Nirvas. But I am not blind like this dumbass, Crimson Flash. Ohh… How forgetful of me. He is literally blind." mocked Nabe with a slight chuckle.

"Anyway, among the four big kingdoms in this area, your Heart Kingdom has the strongest military power. This is proven by the recent battle your kingdom fought."

"Your kingdom practically wins every war front despite fighting against one big kingdom and three small kingdoms simultaneously. Moreover, I feel your kingdom is still not going all out since the majority of high nobility and army are still not deployed yet." said Nabe.

"But, this is not all. What I like about your kingdom is your development. Compared to a dozen years ago, when your king needed to stay on the warfront and send all the army in one place, your current kingdom could fight many kingdoms simultaneously."

"Your nation's development is like an unstoppable monster overlord charge despite still getting all the same setbacks as any other kingdom. As a scientist and researcher, I want to work with this kind of kingdom."

"If it is not because of that senile old man, I may already apply for a job or stay at your kingdom. Anyway, just think of this as an investment from me." said Nabe.

"Fine. If you could make Elder Yawan agree to my previous term, we could sign the contract and the Heart Kingdom will receive you with open arms." replied the Duchess.

"That's more like it. But I am not too good at persuasion. I doubt this blind dumbass will agree easily. Hmm… Let me ask for help first. Maybe that stupid lizard could help. He still owes me all that liquor anyway." said Nabe.

Then, Nabe stretched her hand and cut her finger with her nail. Blood drops into the cave ground before turning into a complex magic circle.

"Stupid lizard, get over here!!" yelled Nabe.

The complex magic circle shines brightly and summons a black-scaled lizard man lying on the ground while sleeping sideways. Despite getting teleported, Alder is still sleeping and snoring without care for the surroundings.

"Wake up, Stupid Lizard!!" shouted Nabe as she kicked Alder harshly.

*BAAMM* Surprisingly, everyone finds Nabe actually uses so much force at her kick and sends Alder deep inside the cave wall in the distance.

'Such a strength!! She is not a pure seventh-grade magician?!!' thought Duchess Amberblaze.
