It was already a well-known fact that there was no end to desire, and among them, it was well known that the desire of human beings was stronger than any other race in the world.
And,
This strong desire of the human race, like the elves, did not have superior magical power and long life,
They did not have superior strength and physical conditions like the beastmen, but it became the driving force that allowed them to stay ahead of other races without falling behind.
As a result, the organization created by humans has grown into the most powerful force on the continent.
This is currently one of the leading powers on the continent.
It became the background for the birth of two powerful countries, the Falcon Empire and Angrimer Magic Kingdom.
But…
The desire of humans, which helped form such a powerful nation, was at the same time acting as a factor hindering the harmony between these two forces.
The Falcon Empire emphasizes the development of martial arts and technology, while the Andrimer Magic Kingdom emphasizes the study of magic and research.
Although they had a sense of identity in that they were countries of the same human race, they still had inherent differences and inconveniences and a sense of competition with each other.
As a result,
Two countries that have not been able to unite into one force despite being the same race, forming their respective spheres of influence.
And the reason for this phenomenon was fundamentally due to the human desire that was so strong.
In the case of the Falcon Empire, with its relatively large territory and population, there was a tendency to take it for granted that the Magic Kingdom would bow its head and come in.
On the other hand, the Magic Kingdom had pride in the fact that they were by no means inferior to the Falcon Empire, based on the power of magic as a discipline, despite the difference in size.
For that reason, the Empire and the Magic Kingdom have historically shown an awkward relationship, although they are neighboring countries and the same race.
Still, there has not yet been an all-out war between the two countries due to the idea that they are the same race, but it was clear that the relationship between the two countries was not very good.
And.
The fierce war between the Falcon Empire and the Elf Church that took place in this background was naturally being received as a major boon for the Magic Kingdom, which became an observer from the side in many ways.
From their point of view, it was as if the Empire, a competitor, was making enemies on its own without doing anything special, and gradually eating away at its national power in the process.
Of course, if the war were to end quickly, the power of the Falcon Empire would become even stronger, but in this regard, the Magic Kingdom already knew to some extent.
Apart from the fact that they advanced grandly based on the early victory,
The fact that the Elf Church was not a country that the Falcon Empire could easily eat up.
Basically, the Elf Church has terrain that is absolutely advantageous to the defense due to forests, trees, mountains, and rocks.
The foolishness of the Falcon Empire, which invaded such a country without fear, would clearly have to pay a painful price.
But…
Despite this situation, the Magic Kingdom had no intention of quietly folding its arms and doing nothing here.
Of course, there were pros and cons to each other, but it was clear that the Empire’s national power was so great that it would eventually lead the overall situation advantageously.
And this meant that there were enough factors for the Magic Kingdom, which wanted to drag the war out for a long time and weaken the Empire’s power, to intervene appropriately.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
“Does that mean… you’re telling me to disguise myself as a demon and raid the Empire?”
“That’s right, Shude. That is the will of the Magic King and the will of the Magic Kingdom.”
“Hmm…”
Totem, the superior, conveys the will of the monarch to her.
But even while telling this story, a dark shadow of concern was cast on Totem’s face.
“To be honest, I wanted you to appoint someone other than you for this job. After all, the Falcon Empire is the country of your colleagues. But His Majesty’s will was that it was unavoidable in order to make up for the failure of the Hero Party’s work last time.”
Shude is known to have a fairly close relationship with those belonging to the Falcon Empire as a member of the Hero Party.
As such, he thought that the order to secretly raid the Falcon Empire this time would be a considerable burden for
Shude.
Even if it has the name of making up for the failure of the past.
But…
“That’s… a grateful thing. To think that His Majesty would give me a chance to wash away my shame so quickly.”
“Huh?”
The next moment,
A deep smile of joy shines on Shude’s face.
It was a smile that came from the heart, not a lie or a forced smile, and embarrassment began to settle on Totem’s
face.
“N-no… are you really okay? Even so, isn’t this the same as ordering you to attack your colleagues?”
“Yes, that’s why I’m even happier. It’s because I thought that maybe I could get what I wanted for sure with this
opportunity.”
“The thing you wanted…?”
Shude was telling a story that Totem couldn’t understand.
But apart from this fact, Totem felt a little relieved that she, who was in front of him, was sincerely and willingly trying to follow the Magic King’s irresistible order.
‘Well… whatever, it’ll be good if she’s happy with it.’
Thinking that, Totem felt relieved that he had relieved one of his worries.
On the other hand, apart from his thoughts, Shude was sincerely feeling great joy about this unexpected ‘opportunity’ that had come to her.
‘It’s going well… I didn’t have a good reason to go to the Falcon Empire, but I never thought I’d find an opportunity like this!’
Shude had no choice but to return to the Magic Kingdom to clean up after the Ilan incident.
But,
Contrary to Shude’s plans to quickly finish the job and return to Torare, the man she loved,
The war between the Demon King’s army and the Elf Church that occurred immediately after that kept her feet tied to the Magic Kingdom as they were.
It would be difficult in many ways for her, one of the high witches of the Magic Kingdom, to visit a country at war, let alone a civilian.
As a result, Shude has not seen the face of her beloved Torare for the past few months, which was enough to make her accumulate various complaints and desires.
‘It’s been four months since I saw Torare’s face… It was already reaching its limit, but this is a great thing.’
Over those months, she had tried to satisfy herself by seeking out various men under the pretense of “magic replenishment.”
But in the end, not a single one of them had managed to satisfy her.
Due to the nature of the Magic Kingdom, which refrained from free sex, there were quite a few people who were skilled in this area, but even so, there was no one who could keep up with Torare’s exquisite technique.
As Shude’s desire for Torare grew day by day,
The opportunity she had been longing for finally came to her.
‘Aileen… I can’t let that bitch continue to monopolize Torare forever. It’s going well. I’ll use this opportunity to give that bitch a taste of her own medicine and make Torare mine for sure…’
She always gets what she wants.
And now, for the first time in ages, she finally had the perfect excuse to get rid of all the nuisances standing in her way and claim her rightful place.
Like that,
While looking forward to the ecstatic future that will unfold, Shude’s lips began to be filled with a smile full of desire.
‘Please wait a little longer, Torare. I will definitely… make you mine!’

High Priestess Aileen.
She was spending days that were so happy these days.
Due to the failure of the Hero Party, her position had narrowed compared to the past, and she ultimately failed to obtain the enormous wealth and fame that she had longed for since leaving her hometown.
But.
Even so, Aileen was feeling a sense of satisfaction with her current life.
The porter Torare, whom she had been in a relationship with since forming a relationship in the Hero Party.
At this moment, the fact that she alone could monopolize that man was making Aileen feel joy and a deep sense of superiority at the same time.
‘In the end, I became the final winner. Not that dirty beast Terra, or Amelda,who disappeared to who-knows-where. And not Shude, who was forcibly ejected to the Magic Kingdom. No, the final victor is none other than me.’
Compared to the Hero, who had a strong power and clearly had a clear liking for her, Torare’s social ability was not comparable in many ways.
However, even so, she chose Torare, who was handsome, considerate, and also had an exquisite technique, rather than a capable man who only loved her, and she did not feel any guilt about this.
‘It’s a thousand times better to live with Torare than with an unattractive man like the Hero. Especially now, when I’ve gotten rid of all the other pests and have him all to myself.’
Thinking once again that she had made the right choice, Aileen goes to work at the temple today, being sent off by Torare.
Meanwhile…
Immediately after Aileen left the house like that.
Torare confirmed once again that she had left, and then slowly opened the back door of Aileen’s house.
Then, a woman began to appear in his eyes.
Looking at her, who was wearing plain clothes but had a fairly beautiful face, Torare smiled deeply and said.
“You’re here? Come on in. Our Saintess has gone to work. Let’s have fun again today.”
