I Shall Survive Using Potions! - Chapter 39
Kaoru Chapter 39: Peace Conference
30 days after the Imperial Army disappeared into the mountain range which is the border.
A Peace Conference was held in Gurua, the capital of the Balmoa Kingdom.The Sacred country Rueda had lost their right as neutral country with religious leadership and there’s no way the Peace Conference would hold in a defeated country.
Because the battle of this time includes problems concerning: the unilateral invasion of the Arigo empire that aim to invade the continent, and problems related to the Sacred country Rueda which has the position as the headquarters of Celestine Orthodox.
Balmoa Kingdom, Arigo Empire, Rueda Holy Kingdom, the allied countries of Balmoa Kingdom, Ashid and the Brancott, and further the eastern part from the Brancott Kingdom which is the base of the Peninsula, leaders of all nations in the continent and their attendances are also gathering here.
*** Capital Central square ***
It’s that big plaza between the Royal castle’s main gate and the temple.
It was unprecedented for holding a peace conference outdoors.
However, there are too many attendances that coming together with nation leader to hold this conference indoor, and also the Sacred Country strongly insisted on holding conference outdoors for some reason. And a special conference hall was set up in the plaza.
Although there are many attendees, most of them don’t have the right to speak.The Peace Conference itself is carried out with 3 countries: Balmor Kingdom, Aligo Empire, Rueda Sacred Country, and Ashid Kingdom can have some opinions.
Because Balmoa Kingdom was unilaterally invaded but they still had a glorious victory, it showed how extraordinary Balmoa Kingdom’s power.
Arigo empire had poor complexion.
And, despite being in the worst situation, the Sacred country Rueda’s appearance seemingly weird.
Other countries’ representatives had curious gaze against Rueda and we can heard the noisy chatter of countries’s representatives in the plaze.
And the peace conference was started.
First of all, the outline of the battle flow was explained from the side of the Balmoa Kingdom, claims of compensation against the Arigo empire, claims of prisoners’ ransom, food expenses on prisoners of war, claims for medical expenses and other expenses, and lastly an inviolable pledge.
When Empire pledge in front of the delegates of so many countries, if they break it, it will be treated as The country start the invasion but don’t follow the treaty, pledge
For the Empirer, a large amount of reparation was equal to being stabbed with its finance.
No, the cause of this battle is Balmoa Kingdom!
It was because Balmoa Kingdom restraining the angel in their country, monopolizing the miracle part! Our country just tried to save the angel(Arigo Empire’s Prime Minister aka A.E.P.M)
However, the desperate claim of the Arigo Empire’s Prime Minister was simply denied by the said Angel Kaoru.
Well, I am not anAngel or anything like that.
I ran away from from another country and just happened to arrive and live here.
Didn’t I sell the potions to anyone. I’m selling to commoner as well as noble.
Ashid Kingdom or the Brancott Kingdom, Sacred country Rueda. If Arigo Empire want it, would you mind buy it yourself? Pay the money properly(Kaoru)
But, there isn’t stock in our country at all (A.E.P.M)
It is useless because it’s geographic matter.
Just thinking that people in Capital Gurua can’t eat fresh fish caught in the Arigo Empire, and Balmoa wage war with Arigo Empire.
Can you accept it?(Kaoru)
(A.E.P.M)
The rebuttal of the A.E.P.M was easily lost to Kaoru.
Well, even thats what I say.
I will improve the potion that can be kept little longer this time.
At least, enough for the potions to circulation in the empire somehow(Kaoru)
Huh!?(A.E.P.M)
And, about Arigo Empire’s economy, there is a way to develop your country, but are you willing to have a talk?(Kaoru)
And then, Kaoru explained the marvelous facts.
[ If you went west beyond the sea, way further from Arigo Empire, there’s a huge island which is comparable to the Empire’s land.
An island with rich nature, mineral resources.
The world ship and navigation technology are underdeveloped, Arigo Empire which closer in distance is overwhelmingly advantageous over other countries.
I will not allow monopoly, but I will give you preferential treatment]
In fact, when the war started, Kaoru thought about how to hinder the Empire, and she tried making a recovery potion to confirm the topography around here.The Potion container will have the shape of this world in small scale. (T.N: Like Earth Globe with potion medicine inside)
And she realized, this world, Vernier isn’t spherical. And on the Vernie’s globe (potion container), land, rivers and reserve resources were properly written.Because Kaoru made it consciously.
Of course, I will not tell the location of resources.It’s over service.
The Prime Minister of the Arigo Empire overflows with tears.
Attendants of Arigo Empire also stand up from their seat and kneeing on the ground.
Eee?
The attendants of other countries are panic with everything happen before them.
Perhaps the Empire will now allocate most of their soldiers to shipbuilding and nurturing seafarers as the pioneering staff of the new site.
And if they can make a lot of ships and sailors, they can even start to trade with not only the new island but also other countries of this continent by ship.
They don’t know any design for big ship yet, but they can try to paint as much as the sketch of the finished product. There are flames lived in the eyes of Arigo Empire’s people.Their high up people will do, the whole Empire will do it.
Meanwhile, the Empire became lively, other countries also became impatient as they heard about a tasty story.
Uhm Kaoru-dono, about that, can you also made the design of the ship, (A.E.P.M)
Balmoa Kingdom will have reparations from the Empire every year for a while, the reparation amount is in the range that the Empire’s finance can bear(King Serge)
King Serge stood up unexpectedly, he was able to join the conversation.
Even people in other countries want to get back to their country as soon as possible to prepare the ship. But it is difficult for long boats that use for fishing to cross the ocean. Andagain there’s no new type of ship
Other countries didn’t know about Potion nor the actions of Kaoru until now. But right now, various countries who seemed to be a little stinky looking at the Balmoa Kingdom that have the goddess’ miracle. Also, Arigo Empire began to notice the real value of Kaoru.
Actually, Balmoa Kingdom wasn’t thinking about pursuing the Arigo Empire and its starving citizens.
Because of that, the reparation was also split and the Empire only had to pay at a price they could not afford. The Empire before this conference thought this is the end of the Empire.But right now, they have a bright expression that completely changed compare to before the conference.
And now is the turn of the Sacred country Rueda.
The Sacred country was optimistic.Actually, they prepared a trump card.They believed they can restore their honor, too.
And unlike the empire, which dispatched full power to the Prime Minister instead of the Emperor himself do the talk.The Pope himself was presenting from the sacred country even he left the nogotiation to a Cardinal.
The Sacred country Rueda abandons the position of a neutral religious state and allied with the Arigo Empire. As an enemy country cooperating in the invasion to Balmoa Kingdom, we demand reparation from you just like the Arigo Empire(Balmoa’s P.M)
We have nothing to do with that. Our country is still neutral and we weren’t cooperating with the empire!(Cardinal)
In response to the request from the Balmoa Kingdom, the Cardinal that represent the Sacred Country denies it.
However, Balmoa Kingdom will continue to discuss about that.
Recommendation an escape to Kaoru, not inform the invasion of the Imperial Army to any country, and clearly too early for the news to arrive.
Also, instructions to kidnap when Kaoru rejected.Balmoa can bring the said Cardinal himself to testify at any time.
And also, another Cardinal and monks that accompanying the Empire Northen invasion armies.They all have become prisoners of war, and Balmoa can bring them out at any time.
Also, the testimonies obtained from captured Imperial soldiers that Empire has close relationship with the Holy Pope.
Until now, other countries received letter from Balmoa Kingdom that say about the Sacred country had betrayed the goddess.But many voices of accusations leaked from the listeners of each country that didn’t know the detail.
We don’t know about such kind of thing, I demand an immediate withdrawal for those priests and an apology for those documents insulting the Sacred country that Balmoa kingdom issued!(Cardinal)
Kaoru responded to the Cardinal.
Well, is that true? That the news didn’t really properly transmitt to the Holy Land? Or are you hiding because it isn’t convenient for you?(Kaoru)
What, what This devil magic user !!(Cardinal)
Wasn’t you guys just kept saying that I was an angel of the goddess? Even if I deny it, everyone in the Sacred country still wanted to do so (Kaoru)
The Cardinal turns bright red with Kaoru takes him lightly.
At that time, the pope which had been silent until then standing up.
Okay then, we will prove our rightness with the treasure of our Holy Kingdom and destroy Devil magic user who portrait as the angel!(Pope)
He held a crystal ball in his hand.
Hmm, I never portrayed as an Angel. Only the people of the Sacred Country who said so. I have denied from the beginning(Kaoru)
Shu shut up!!(Pope)
In the remark of Kaoru who didn’t read the air, the Holy Pope shouted.
No, rather than not read the air, it’s on purpose.
The Pope continued the word as if nothing had happened.
This is the Sacred item that the Goddess had given to us when she revealed in the Sacred country for the first time!
The goddess had entrusted us to use it when the crisis comes to the Sacred country!(Pope)
Yes, that was the reason why the Sacred country was strangely confident.
And it was also the reason why they strongly insisted that the conference be held outdoors. Ifthe advent of the goddess happens outdoors, more people will witness it and the news will spread wider.
(Oh, that thing, isn’t that )(Kaoru)
Of course, Kaoru was aware of it.
She had spent several hours to hear about Ceres complain before.
When she thinking again about what the Pope said.But then she realized one thing
Behold! Miracles of the goddess! Proof that our Rueda Holy country is a country truly blessed by the goddess and we are blessed people!(Pope)
And the next moment, the crystal call in the Pope hand gleamed a dazzling light.
And immediately after that, a light ball appeared above the sky.
It is the descent of the goddess Celestine.
The goddess Celestine shout to the Pope, the one summon her and kneeling with a full of joy.
Where is space distortion?(Celestine)
Huh?(Pope)
The pope had a blatant look.
