The purpose of the 『Fairy Corps』 including Alex, coming to the Kingdom of Athena was to earn gratitude from the Zain Kingdom and secure the former territory of Athena as a new home for mixed-race individuals.

This expectation seems to be accurate. Alex, with a youthful appearance and a wide smile, clasped her hands together.

“Yes! That’s right, Your Highness Raidorl!”

Alex enthusiastically applauded as if she were a child, praising Raidorl.

“It is indeed desirable to have a wise future husband! As Your Highness Raidorl has mentioned, our purpose is to earn your favour. In exchange for helping to defeat the undead, we will obtain land for our mixed-race citizens to live!”

Alex spoke proudly, not hiding her intentions.

“I’ve heard that the Kingdom of Athena has lost a majority of its population due to the undead and there are many unclaimed lands. To recover its strength as a kingdom, they will have to recruit immigrants from other countries. It’s very convenient for us mixed-race individuals who have no place in the Empire!”

“…Indeed. It’s convenient for me as well. I doubt there are many crazy immigrants who would willingly move to a land where rotten corpses used to roam.”

Even if they were in dire straits, no one would want to move to land that was under the control of witches and the undead until just recently.

Unless, of course, they had suffered severe discrimination or persecution.

“We mixed-race individuals have faced that discrimination and persecution. In some cases, we’re treated worse than pure-blooded demi-humans. There are probably quite a few who want to start anew in a new land.”

“By the way, how many prospective immigrants are there?”

“We’ll be launching recruitment soon, so we don’t have the exact numbers yet. However, in the Empire, there are about five thousand mixed-blood individuals with elves, twenty thousand with beastmen, and another thirty thousand with various other races like dwarves and winged people. Not everyone will choose to immigrate, but more than half will probably come.”

In other words, nearly thirty thousand immigrants will be coming from the Empire.

It’s welcome news for the Kingdom of Athena, which has seen a decline in its population, even if they are of mixed race.

“This kingdom isn’t particularly known for strong discrimination against demi-humans…given the circumstances, there are likely to be few who would object to mixed-race immigration.”

Discrimination against demi-humans is particularly strong in the central power which is the Arslanian? Empire. It tends to be more relaxed the farther one gets from the Empire.

The Zain Kingdom and the Athena Kingdom have relatively mild discrimination, and it shouldn’t be a significant issue there.

“But what about the Empire…is there no problem on their side? Is the Emperor okay with his citizens immigrating to another kingdom?”

“They haven’t openly agreed, but it’s more of a 『tacit approval』. From the Emperor’s position, it’s not preferable for his own citizens to move to another kingdom, but it’s also not desirable to have internal conflicts due to discrimination. There have been incidents where mixed-blood individuals colluded with other kingdoms and facilitated soldiers or spies. So, even if we mixed-blood individuals were to disappear, they would probably secretly rejoice.”

“If that’s the case, then it’s quite alright. We can work out the details later… I have no objections from my side. Neferte will probably accept it as well.”

“UmuUmu, it’s not a definitive decision, but I can bring back good news to my homeland! The mixed-blood individuals who have been mistreated will also be pleased!”

Alex nodded contentedly.

With this, Raidorl had secured a workforce through immigration. Of course, with a large number of people from other kingdoms coming in, conflicts were inevitable but it couldn’t be worse than the time when they were under the control of the undead.

With the annexation by the Zain Kingdom, the Athena Kingdom should be heading in a positive direction.

“By the way… changing the subject, when should I have my bridal entry?”

.

“Aa?”

“I’m still a woman. When I get married, I’d like to dress up appropriately and I want at least ten children. Since there will probably be concubines and mistresses on your side, I’d like to greet them as well.”

“…….”

Alex spoke about it as if it were the most natural thing, leaving Raidorl speechless.

Just when one problem seemed to be resolved, another problem had surfaced.

Raidorl pondered how to handle the woman who only appeared to be a young girl in front of him and her desires.
