In Terra, she is a hunter and a bad woman.

After another moment, when Maria saw that the two people had almost finished knocking, she waved her hand.

"You guys go take care of your own business, there's nothing going on here for now."

"understood."

The two people stood up silently.

Perhaps they are respected leaders in their own places, but they are still immature in front of Maria.

They are still a group of children who have not grown up.

After bowing to Maria again, Theresis and the lich representative left.

Maria continued to sit there, quietly looking at the war sand table in front of her.

The situation Kazdel is facing now is extremely critical.

Due to the successive failures on other fronts, the entire Kazdel fell into a disaster with no support at all.

But in Maria's eyes, this is not a real dead end.

There is another way to disintegrate the entire coalition force.

After all, the coalition was just an army formed by Victoria, Letania, Ursus and Gaul. According to Maria's investigation, these countries did not have much history of cooperation, and the relationship between them could only be described as a normal relationship between major powers.

But the problem was that several of these countries suddenly united without any warning and charged towards Kazdel with their most advanced technology...

Maria didn't believe that there was no trick involved.

But the question is, what is it, who is it, or what is it that can mediate and unite these people?

If they didn't figure this out, Maria felt that she and others would have no chance of destroying their army.

Maria tapped her fingers lightly on the chopping board in front of her as she pondered quietly.

Just when she felt a headache, the bone pen in her hand suddenly emitted a faint fluorescent light.

Not long after, the tip of the pen began to shake slightly on its own.

Only after it felt that Maria did not stop it did it continue writing in the same place.

【Are you coming back today? 】

"..."

This bone pen was given to Maria by Lamaren.

Although Maria is not a banshee and cannot use banshee spells, she is the Banshee Princess after all, so her identity and accessories must keep up.

And this bone pen was the one that Lamaren left for Maria.

According to her, this pen has the blessings of many banshees, and she has used it for many years. Its additional special ability allows the paired pen from Lamaren to transmit messages to Maria without delay.

No one else knows this yet...

This is... their secret...

After a few moments of silence, Maria responded by writing with a pen.

【perhaps】

Time is silent.

After a while, the pen tip fell on the table again.

I'll prepare your dinner.

After saying this, the fluorescence on the bone pen gradually dissipated.

Ramalen must have disconnected the connection herself over there.

Maria also looked at the battle situation in front of her and shook her head slightly.

After getting up and putting on her clothes again, she stood up and walked towards the banshee's camp.

After she bypassed the core command area and arrived at the banshees' camp, Maria could clearly feel that the eyes of the surrounding banshees had changed.

If the banshees in the past only thought that they had a very capable princess... then now, Maria, who has become the leader of the coalition, has proved her identity with her strength.

Everyone began to show admiration for him, and the way they addressed him became more and more pure.

"Your Highness..."

"Your Highness..."

"princess……"

All kinds of words were spoken, and each banshee looked at Maria with eyes full of respect and passion.

Maria did not try to remain aloof, but tried to greet everyone as much as possible and ask about their situation.

It took her almost half an hour to walk a distance of only a few hundred meters before she arrived at the camp.

Meanwhile, Lamaren had just finished preparing dinner and was entertaining her guests...

"Your Highness..."

Seeing Theresa was also there, Maria did not take a seat rashly, but bowed slightly to show her respect.

Of course, she didn't agree that the Demon King was her leader, but that didn't stop her from being polite to him as the Banshee Queen.

This elegant and capable demeanor made the two girls in the room blush for a moment, and finally Theresa spoke.

"Ms. Maria, there are no outsiders here..."

"I know."

Maria nodded and took a seat.

The dinner prepared by Lamaren was a simple meat and potato stew. Now that Kazdel had entered wartime, it was best to keep things simple.

As for adding meat... Kazdel's situation is not really at the end of its rope yet.

But before the meal, Maria still had some doubts.

"Your Highness, why are you here?"

Maria sat naturally next to Lamaren, and was a little curious about Theresa in front of her.

Theresa also looked at the two people who were naturally intimate in amazement, and lowered her head helplessly.

"Because... I don't know what I should do."

"Ok?"

"I have no military talent, so all I can do is reassure my compatriots, telling them not to be afraid of the upcoming war and that we will win... But words like these can't be said often."

"Besides, now that my identity has been exposed, I can no longer move around as I used to..."

“Right now, I don’t know what I can do.”

Theresa understood that what she needed to do most at this moment was to play her own mascot role well.

When Maria wins the battle, she will naturally gain reputation and inspire people.

If they fail, then she will have to step in to calm the emotions.

But at this stage of preparation, she really didn't know what to do.

In a daze, she was discovered by Ramalen and brought back.

"Is that right?"

Maria looked at the complicated expression on the girl in front of her and remained silent.

After exchanging another look with Ramalen beside her, she grabbed the other's hand that quietly reached out to her and poked her waist, and ignored the other's slightly red face and struggle, looking at Theresa opposite.

"Do you feel like you haven't done anything?"

Lamaren was a little flustered when Maria grabbed her hand, but she still suppressed her emotions and used her unfamiliar left hand to carefully eat the dinner in front of her.

But the slight redness on her neck and the shaking eyes still showed the panic of this tall girl.

"Yes."

Perhaps because she was in a depressed mood, Theresa just held the spoon and looked at the stewed potatoes and meat in front of her, without noticing the small movements of the two people in front of her.

"I should be able to do more...but right now, I don't know what to do at all."

There is always a voice in the girl's heart telling her that she should be able to do more and she cannot stop.

But now, she was suppressed by reality and could not move.

This made her extremely helpless.

"Just live well."

Facing Theresa's entanglement, Maria did not show any expression of annoyance. She just slowly kneaded Lamaren's small hand wrapped in the black silk sleeve, completely ignoring the other's increasingly rosy skin and pointed ears, and looked at Theresa in front of her.

"You should understand that your survival is the greatest benefit to us..."

"But……"

"You should understand...what kind of people should do what kind of things."

Maria interrupted Theresa.

She knew that the girl was now in a dead end.

Because of the existence of foreign enemies, she urgently wants to do something to prove her worth and to help her compatriots.

But in Maria's eyes, the girl's anxiety was meaningless.

Looking at the girl in front of her who tilted her head back and frowned with her pink eyes, Maria shook her head and continued.

"In fact, you haven't accomplished anything as you think."

"Ok?"

"You should be proud of what you've done... You've accomplished something that a lot of people haven't been able to do."

Maria felt the little hand that was no longer struggling and trembling slightly, then she gradually stopped her movements and let it lie quietly in her hand.

The fingers touched each other's palms, making a slight friction.

"You've united the various factions in Kazdel. Although they all have their own ideas, it's undeniable that you've taken a huge step forward... If you hadn't done anything, Kazdel wouldn't even be able to form a single army today."

"You also prevented the civil unrest in Kazdel. If it weren't for you, you should have been able to see how the last Royal Court meeting would have turned out."

"And you also stabilized the public sentiment in Kazdel and mobilized everyone... This is no simple task."

"Judging from these things, you have accomplished many things that mediocre monarchs could not have done."

"Besides...if you really think you want to do something, I might be able to give you some direction."

Maria looked at Theresa in front of her... The girl seemed to be attracted by Maria's words and raised her head to listen attentively.

Meanwhile, no one noticed that Ramalen was leaning sideways on the chair, biting her fingers tightly with her fair lips, her whole body trembling.

The exposed pointed ears had turned blood red.

The simple touch of fingers and the stirring of the slightly cool palm were enough to make her feel a little overwhelmed.

The breathing rate became strange.

But there was a Theresa in front of him...

Maria still does this kind of thing...

She looked at Maria with shame and anger, and seeing the calmness in her eyes, the banshee became even more shy.

But Maria just looked at the girl in front of her and spoke calmly.

"If you really feel that you need to do something... I think you can find a way to form your own team."

"Eh?"

Theresa was stunned for a moment and hesitated.

"To win over... one's own team?"

"Yes."

Maria nodded.

"It won't be long before word of your succession to the Demon King spreads. Even though this is Kazdel, the Sarkaz stronghold, you shouldn't let your guard down... Your safety is crucial to the stability of our army."

"At the same time..."
