Chapter 1699 Maintaining the Balance

Sis-Con with Dimensional Chat Group

"What?" Haru was surprised.

Diseum nodded and said, "You might know this devil already. He's Oliver Schtrom."

"You mean the one that was defeated by Shin?" Haru asked.

"...." Diseum wanted to say that Haru was also the one who cornered Oliver, but he didn't say much and nodded. "Yes."

"I see. It is very terrible news." Haru nodded and showed a shocked expression.

"......."

'Is that all?'

"Kasugano-kun, are you not going to do anything?" August suddenly asked.

"Your Highness!" Everyone wanted to scold August, who was being too hasty.

"My position on the Els isn't high, and you should know that in the Els, there are a lot of council members, so we need to discuss everything before we can conclude," Haru said.

"You mean that we're lying?" One of them suddenly asked with an annoyed expression.

"I believe in your words since I have seen Oliver Scrotum, but what about the people in my country? Will they believe so easily and send a troop to stop the devil as long as I open my mouth? Please, I'm not the king of the Els, and even though the relationship between the Earlshide Kingdom and the Els isn't bad, we're still from a different country, and we can't trust each other that easily. Sending a troop isn't something that can be done so easily," Haru said simply.

".........." His words were right, but they gritted their teeth. After all, the danger was right in front of them, but other countries couldn't believe each other.

"I know the matter of the devil is important, but there's something more important, right?" Haru said.

"Something more important?" Everyone was confused, wondering what something more important than the matter of the devil that destroyed the Bluesphere Empire was.

"What is the plan of your country regarding Shin Wolford?" Haru asked directly, wondering what the Earlshide Kingdom was going to do with the Shin Wolford.

"........" Everyone was in silence.

"Shin Wolford is a powerful magician, and with him, staying in this kingdom, it can be said, he can become the weapon to deter any enemies or countries since with his magic, he can destroy a country or two. He was also the one who had defeated Oliver Schtrom, the one who had destroyed the Bluesphere Empire." Haru looked at Diseum and said, "Based on what you're going to do with Shin Wolford from now on, there might be a war between your country and us."

"!!!!"

"What?!" Everyone was dumbfounded.

"Isn't that obvious?" Haru looked at the rest of them who showed such a reaction and said, "What we want is to maintain the current status between us, and you should know with the Bluesphere Empire is destroyed, and once the devil is cleaned up from that land, you guys are going to get all of the lands of the Bluesphere Empire, especially with Shin Wolford in your land, I'm sure that you all can do anything without worry."

"Don't slander our country! We won't do something like that?"

Haru didn't even put a glance on this person and said, "Your Majesty, you should put a leash on your dog, so he won't bark so carelessly."

"You!!!" The male in his early 20's was burning in anger when he heard Haru's words.

"Marquez, get out!" Diseum shouted.

"Your Majesty, I..." The male was in shock.

"Didn't you hear my words?" Diseum stared at the male without his usual kind expression.

"......." The male gritted his teeth and kneeled before he left, but before that, he kept staring at Haru, but he was ignored by Haru, which annoyed him.

"..........." No one said anything. After all, they knew the male had shown disrespect and caused trouble in this meeting, but at the same time, they also didn't like Haru. After all, this guy had slandered their country.

"Depending on what you do to take care of Shin Wolford, then you might need to face the entire continent by yourself," Haru said calmly.

"........." Haru's words caused a shudder on everyone.

Diseum felt a pressure that he had never felt before from the young man in front of him.

August didn't say anything from the beginning to the end, but he was already in shock at the development of the talk.

"From the beginning to the end, I promised my friends that I wouldn't use Shin Wolford as a tool for a political and military. Is that good enough for you?" Diseum asked.

"It isn't enough." Haru shook his head and said, "You should know that there are 12 people that Shin Wolford has taught, one is me, and the other twelve are people from your country, and even if you don't include Shin Wolford as a tool for a politic and military, you still have 11 strong magicians that are capable of matching tens of thousands of soldiers."

"Then what do you want?" Diseum asked with a frown.

"Which is why I am proposing to invite 11 students from both Els and Ys Holy Nation to the Magic Academy so Shin Wolford can teach them." Haru smiled at Diseum and said, "We can maintain our balance better that way, right?" He didn't really want a war, but he needed to maintain peace, rights and the best way to do that was to maintain the balance between the great countries.

"......." Everyone was in silence once again. After all, what Haru had proposed was a good thing to maintain a balance between the power of the great countries in this continent, as for the small countries? They didn't care much about them.

But...

"Your majesty..." Even though they knew that it was the best solution for everyone, they felt quite unwilling. After all, doing that, which meant they would lose their advantage over other countries.

Diseum didn't say anything and stared at the young man in front of him in shock. After all, he could see Haru's vision was strong, and he knew that based on his decision at that moment, his country might face the attack of various countries. "I agree."

"Your Majesty!"

Diseum raised his hand and stopped the voice in this place. "Is this enough for you, Haruka-kun?"

"Yes, thank you, Uncle Diseum." Haru smiled and said, "With this, my job is done, and I'm sure that everyone can sleep soundly after this."

"Yes, I hope that there won't be any war between us," Diseum said.

Haru nodded and said, "Yes, I agree with you, and we, the Els, will do our best to eliminate the entire devil and the demon to maintain peace in this continent."

Then both Diseum and Haru started to talk with a laugh again, forgetting the fact that they had just an intense conflict before which caused everyone to feel speechless, and thought that Haru was very deep, thinking about Siegfried Marquez who was very hot-headed before, they could only shake their heads since they believed Siegfried Marquez's career had ended, after all, everyone in this place could tell what Haru was seeking and his purpose to cause the commotion before was to maintain the balance between the great countries so there wouldn't be a war between them, which somehow made them felt amazed by him.

They then ended their conversation, and Haru also decided to go back early, after he said goodbye to Lynn's father, who was looking at him with a strange expression, and he told him that he might visit his house with Lynn in the future.

Lynn's father agreed and also felt happy about it.

When Haru was about to go back, the one who led him wasn't the one who guided him before, but rather a beautiful girl with long red hair that looked at him with a complicated gaze. He smiled and asked, "What? Worried about your little boyfriend?"

"Who is the boyfriend of that bastard?!" The woman snorted.

"Really? I guess he doesn't have eyes since he can ignore such a charming woman like you," Haru said sincerely.

"........" The woman was stunned for a while and blushed in an instant. After all, no one found her attractive, and she was also full of anxiety that she wasn't feminine enough, but this guy...

"Kasugano Haruka, what's your name, beautiful lady?" Haru asked with a smile.

"Christina Hayden." Christina then blinked her eyes, quickly realized something, and asked, "Didn't you have a girlfriend already?"

"That's correct, but can I just praise your beauty and talk with you just like two friends?" Haru asked.

"Well..." Christina nodded and didn't mind since no person praised her beauty before.

The two of them talked happily with a laugh, but somehow the scene was being seen by Siegfried Marquez, who was being kicked out from the meeting before, and somehow he couldn't help but clenched his fist, but what he could do, after all, he also knew that he had done something wrong. Still, he wasn't sure why but when he saw both Haru and Christina laughing and talking happily, he felt very uncomfortable.
