Chapter 65: 065. Confirmation (2)
Evangeline de Wallenstein.
The Grand Duchess of the great Galia Kingdom, she is the ruler of the Duchy of Wallenstein, which is nominally a vassal state of the kingdom but is effectively recognized as an independent nation. She is a busy person.
"Is this all the ability of those who claimed to be competent?"
"...I apologize."
Evangeline struggled to hide her discomfort at the sight of her subordinate deeply bowing.
In truth, she had irresponsibly abandoned her territory and entered the Vera Empire. The reason was simple: she had obtained information about the leadership of her eternal nemesis, the Demon Cult.
However, even after coming this far, her responsibilities as the ruler of a small nation clung to her stubbornly. Even though she had entrusted all her authority to the trustworthy chancellor of the duchy!
"I don't have time for this."
Evangeline grew anxious.
She hadn't even properly begun the plan. In fact, it might be correct to say that there was no reason to sway a man like Veris to her side.
However... her intuition was telling her otherwise.
Veris von Vitelbach. She must draw that foolish man to her side.
