Will of chaos

I was confused about Elf Queen Lolth’s reaction, it seemed like she already knew something like this could happen, plus she talked about hate.

“It seems that not even the legendary shadow of the Black Empire was able to stop him.” (Queen Lolth)

“I kept him under surveillance, but that only made him hide, even more, I didn’t trust him and even thought about killing him, but the previous King asked me not to.” (Lilian)

“He felt guilty for the tragedies of that war between continents, in the end, both sides lost, but the biggest damage was here as the war took place on this continent.” (Queen Lolth)

“What war? Was it one of the wars between the two continents that I heard about and that generated the hatred you feel for each other?” (I)

“Yes, it was the last war, it wasn’t the worst of them, but because it was the last one, it’s the one everyone remembers, especially Gregory Roux.” (Lilian)

“His wife and son died in that war, died brutally and cruelly by Humans who were only able to see monsters when they looked at them.” (Lilian)

“At that time I wasn’t the Elf Queen yet, so I had the freedom to choose what to do, what I chose was to stop the war with the help of others of equal strength like the former King of the Black Empire.” (Queen Lolth)

“When we managed to make the Humans go away was when I saw him for the first and last time.” (Queen Lolth)

“We were in a meeting when he entered the room, at the time he wasn’t even Grade S, but he burst into the room screaming to continue the war, to chase the Humans to the Morror Continent and annihilate them.” (Queen Lolth)

“I never forgot that day for one reason, his face.” (Queen Lolth)

“His eyes were filled with sadness and despair as he entered the meeting room, but when he heard the King of the Black Empire say that the war would end there…” (Queen Lolth)

“All that was left in his eyes was hatred, his Aura was completely contaminated by such intense hatred that I had a hard time seeing that he was still a person.” (Queen Lolth)

So he’s driven by hate, knowing that helps as that kind of person is predictable, but if he really feels that much hate, he’s had to wait over 100 years for this plan, that demonstrates a level of commitment that scares me.

“Have you always suspected him, Lilian?” (I)

“Yea.” (Lilian)

“I understand why I didn’t kill him sooner, but I would have done it anyway.” (I)

Public opinion is a double-edged sword, it can help a nation unite by growing together, or it can divide a nation by bringing disgrace.

Even if they killed him before doing anything, without having any proof against his crimes, sooner or later someone could find out about it, then others would be afraid to die for no valid reason, and it will destroy the Black Empire from the inside out.

“My Queen, the envoy of the Black Empire is here.”

While we were still talking, an Elf dressed as a wizard enters to announce the arrival of the Empire’s envoy.

Elf Queen Lolth says to let him in, as soon as he was inside the room where there was only me, Lillian, Horn 1, and Elf Queen Lolth, he looks straight at Lillian in surprise.

This envoy was a middle aged man with long hair, two dark pink horns, and 4 eyes, his skin was white and he was someone with a height of 1.90 meters being quite tall by the standards of my old world.

“Pleased to meet your majesty, I am Baron William Magazares, I come as a legitimate envoy of the Black Empire.” (William)

“I hope you have a good reason to be here and to have killed another supposed envoy of your Empire.” (Queen Lolth)

“He was a traitor, someone belonging to Duke Gregory Roux who is trying to seize the throne of the Empire right now.” (William)

“Why are you here?” (Queen Lolth)

“I come to ask for your help on behalf of Queen Melissa who is currently weakened.” (William)

“Gregory Roux wants to conquer every continent, by now he already controls 47% of the Black Empire’s territory, after dominating everything he will head to the surrounding Realms before marching through the rest of the continent and finally his final destination on another continent.” (William)

“I have come to seek your help in joining Queen Melissa against Gregory Roux.” (William)

“If that is the sole reason for your visit, then I must make it clear that the Elves will not be involved in any nation’s infighting.” (Queen Lolth)

“With all due respect your majesty, but Gregory has an army at his disposal consisting of Kimeras, so far more than 7000 soldiers have died on the battlefield in a few days of combat, these are just the numbers we can confirm.” (William)

“Queen Melissa is someone I respect, but we’re not in a position to help others, you must have seen it, right?” (Queen Lolth)

From the beginning of the conversation he made it clear that he would not help, but this is understandable, his village is destroyed, his weapons and armor are in terrible condition, his potions are exhausted and the Poisonous Forest is still full of monsters that survived the Wave of monsters.

Entering an internal dispute of another nation under these conditions would be dangerous, not to mention the fact that the Elves are far fewer in numbers than the Demons. 𝚋𝚎𝚍𝚗𝚘𝚟ｅｌ.ｃ𝚘𝚖

During his conversation with the Elf Queen, this guy William looked several times at Lilian, it looked like he expected Lilian to stand by her side to convince Elf Queen Lolth to join the war, but that didn’t work.

Before he left the Queen asked him some questions, thanks to this we know that there is a civil war within the Empire, Gregory Roux quickly took 40% of the Empire during the Monster Wave, in fact, these places already belonged to his associates.

After the Wave of Monsters, he took advantage of the moment of weakness to attack other places and claim more territory, at the moment everything is quiet because he ceased attacks, but this is far from being the end.
