The meeting began.
The first hour was spent discussing the treaty itself.
The second hour was spent discussing the conditions of the treaty.
By the third hour, the arguments had already become more intense than they had been on the previous day.
"The treaty should be accepted," Guild Master Branik said.
Several Church representatives turned toward him.
He continued.
"The Devil Kingdom is weakened."
A retired veteran immediately frowned.
"That is exactly when an enemy is most dangerous."
Branik looked toward him.
"An enemy?"
The old man stared back.
"That is what they are."
"The current ruler is a woman who proposed peace."
"She is a devil."
"She is also the successor of the previous king."
The old veteran's expression darkened.
"That is precisely why I oppose this."
The room became silent.
Branik leaned forward.
"You fought her father."
The old man did not answer.
"You know his strength."
"I do."
"Then you should understand why peace is valuable."
