You Two Come At Me Together!

"Wouldn't that be a bad idea?"

"If the Royal Family's demigods all fell, we'd only be placed in an even more passive position..."

Elder Queshi disagreed.

Although he was equally hostile toward the [Royal Family], he was clearly more concerned with the bigger picture.

"I'll remain here to defend."

"That way, we can be considered to have done our best. The [Council] won't be able to blame us afterward."

Meishiki asked, "Can
