Herms\'s expression changed. He quickly turned his head towards Astaria to see her reaction and noticed that woman had narrowed her eyes in doubt,

"What do you mean?"

Astaria questioned.

"In the recent war between the Solid Earth Kingdom and the Woods Dynasty, Herms broke the treaty as he actively took part in it."

"Tha-"

Herms was about to answer, however, before he could, Astaria questioned back,

"What the hell are you talking about? My people themselves took part in the war. Do you think anyone would have survived if an Emperor made a move himself?"

Hearing this question, Herms\'s expression changed again.

\'Weren\'t those two allies? Why is she going after him?\'

He then turned towards Alcimus to see his reaction, however, seeing him not reacting much, he realized that it might be true.

The Woods and the Skyfall are not allies.

A ray of hope rose up in Herms\'s eyes.

"I know that of course. If he actually participated himself, the war wouldn\'t last this long and we would all know about it, however, that\'s where he played smart."

"Alcimus."

Suddenly, Astaria called out.

"Stop fooling around. The Allegations you are talking about are very serious and you know it as well. It is not something you can joke about. Stop going around in circles and say what you want to say."

Astaria spoke with a serious look on her face.

"Do you remember the 4 Generals that the reinforcements you sent killed?"

"Yes, I did hear that."

Astaria nodded.

Alcimus then waved his hand and the Heads of those 4 Generals appeared on the ground.

"The 4 of them don\'t even belong to the Solid Earth Kingdom. I investigated and found out that these 3 are from 3 different clans while this man is a part of an Adventurers Party. We already know, people like them never involve themselves with the Kingdom\'s affairs.

Herms used his influence to recruit them and was making use of them."

Alcimus explained and this time, Astaria turned towards Herms.

She wasn\'t going to keep defending him again and again.

She was not on Herms\'s side after all.

"Do you have anything to say about this?" Astaria questioned.

"This is bullshit." Herms\'s stance was clear.

"Making up things like these is simple, yes, they were part of the Clans and a Party, so what? They came to my child and seeing their strength, he recruited them. The Treaty never stopped the Kingdoms from recruiting people."

Herms shrugged.

"That is true. You need more solid proof to prove your statement, Alcimus."

Astaria nodded.

"This is useless, I can also kill a Clan Member and then say he was recruited by you into the Skyfall Kingdom and that you broke the treaty, all I have to do is threaten the clan leader. It is very simple for us, and you know it as well."

Herms replied.

His point was clear.

"…"

Astaria didn\'t say anything either.

Herms words made sense.

Seeing her reaction, a smile appeared on Herms\'s face, he knew it, he had won this battle, now no matter what Alcimus did, converting it into definite proof without papers would be useless, and the best part was,

He never signed any paper when he recruited those idiots, overwhelming all of them with his Aura was enough.

Alcimus would never be able to get proof. Herms glanced at Alcimus to see his expression, however, a frown appeared on his face when he saw him sitting with a smile on his face.

"Heh. I knew you would make all this bullshit up."

Alcimus commented.

"What are you talking about?"

Herms\'s expression turned cold.

"Nothing, I am just saying that I was already prepared for it."

"What do you mean?"

*Clap* *Clap*

With a smile on his face, Alcimus clapped two times, then a man walked into the room.

The man who Herms knew very well.

"I am sure you recognize him, right?"

Alcimus questioned.

"What are you doing here?"

Herms ignored the questioned and turned towards the man. Trying to intimidate him with his aura, however, before his aura could affect the man, Astaria\'s Aura overwhelmed Herms and his aura was dispersed.

"This is not a place you can play around, Herms."

Astaria spoke with a cold look on her face.

Herms was taken aback.

This woman was stronger compared to the last time he saw her.

He narrowed his eyes.

"Now let me introduce this man."

Herms didn\'t waste this opportunity.

"He is General Armando, the General of the Solid Earth Kingdom. Let\'s hear what he has to say, shall we?"

Alcimus nodded at Armando, the General nodded back, and then, he started,

"What Lord Alcimus said was true. Lord Herms indeed…"

He started stating everything Herms did, which was clearly breaking the treaty, the more he heard, the more Herms\'s expression distorted. He glanced at Astaria and her expression was turning colder with every passing moment as well.

The situation was not good, it was actually the worse.

"He als-"

"Stop it!"

Armando wanted to continue, however, Herms ordered.

"He is being threatened. Alcimus must be threatening him."

He spoke. Then he glanced at Armando and narrowed his eyes,

"Right, Armando?"

There was a little threat hidden here.

Armando\'s legs turned weak, however, soon, he glanced at Nux, and recalling the pain of the Slave Seal, he quickly controlled himself.

He cannot mess up here.

Even if he has to die.

Anything was better than that hellish pain.

Death was just a release from that hell.

"I am standing in front of 3 Emperors, I am smart enough to know that no one can threaten me here. What I am saying is absolute truth and Lord Herms, you know it as well."

Armando, though scared, still replied to Herms without holding back.

"You dare!?"

This time, Herms failed to hold himself back, he quickly rushed towards Armando, but before he could do anything, Alcimus appeared in front of Armando and defended him.

"Lady Astaria, do you need any more proves?"
