My Dungeon Life: Rise of the Slave Harem-Chapter 1552

Thankfully, my White Mage job came equipped with Moderate Repair, and a spell later was able to stem those seams back together. Did Eliana real need to keep trying to wear the same dresses she wore thirty pounds ago though? The seams were truly under constant wear, and something was going to give. After her dress was fixed and her food was gone, Eliana had managed to recover from her previous breakdown.

“Are you sure you’re up to doing this peace talk right now?” I talked first.

“I knew it…” She made a face. “Brother sent you down here because he thinks I can’t handle it.”

“N-not at all!” I waved my hands. “I came completely because of my love for Eliana! It’s because your beautiful!”

She wasn’t buying the flattery this time. She snorted and lifted her nose.

“There is no one else to run this thing. Everyone in the country has an invested interest in it except for me. Some have even accused me of trying to take advantage of the situation.”

“Okay.”

“I’m not going to back down. I have to do this because no one else is willing to. Deek, you need to understand that millions will die… huh, okay?” She had jumped into a speech trying to convince me she was right, but I had already accepted it.

I gave a smile. “I believe in you, Eliana. I trust you. I’m not here to talk you out of it. If you feel this is the right action, then I will help in any way I can.”

She blushed, pushing her fingers together. “Even if you flatter me, you’re still here because you feel I need to be protected, right?”

“You have my baby inside you.” I reminded her, causing her red face to grow even darker. “If I didn’t want to protect you, I’d be irresponsible.”

“When did you suddenly start to become so charming?” She asked quietly.

“I’ve been through a lot,” I responded. “And I understand the need for unity. There is… something coming. I haven’t had much time since I’ve been back to focus on it, but I suppose, weirdly, things have been heading that direction anyway.”

“Something?” She blinked. “Not… another demon lord?”

“No, not that…” I shook my head, but then stopped for a second. “Although, they may be related somehow.”

She blinked. “What is it?”

I sat her down and then filled her in on my experiences since I left. The big thing I wanted to get across was the threat of Twilight. Twilight was coming, and the only way we were going to survive is if we put behind our differences and worked together. I wasn’t just talking about the five nations, but Shie Gescar and the Imperial Cloud Meadow too.

Eliana asked questions when she needed clarification, and gasped when she heard something surprising. She took everything in, using the maturity and the sophistication that only a noble raised with the best tutors could possess.

“This is something the church should be informed about. Have you told Archbishop Mary?”

I nodded. “Mary said that she had never heard of any of this. A lot of the church’s lore was destroyed years ago, before the break, and none of her records have anything. She told me to try to the church of the daughter to see if they have information Mary does not.”

“We can try sending emissaries to the Imperial Cloud Meadow, but they will likely be ignored. They have no respect for the five southern nations at all.” Eliana sighed. “As for Shie Gescar, no one has returned from that land as long as I remember. Whether you try to pass through the Impassible Mountains, the uncrossable river, or the abyss, there is just no way in.”

“They don’t want you getting into Shie Gescar…” I shook my head. “Even so, we have to try.”

She reached out and grabbed my hand which I didn’t even know I was tightening. “Don’t worry, we’ll start here.”
