Monica's Sad Past

-----

"So, tell me a bit more about that." I said. "You live in Silvertide, right?"

"My family lives at the corner of Silvertide." Monica nodded. "Before the Demon Invasion, it was seen as a rather undesirable zone, but once half of the kingdom was invaded by the Demons, things became much more heated, so many people died, and thousands if not millions of refugees arrived at my territory. We've been struggling since then. The advancement of the Demon Armies, and the Dungeons emerging everywhere due to the Miasma Contamination… It is… a rather hard country to live right now."

"Huh, maybe you should just move to my country instead." Giggled Eduard. "We're free of demons and live near the sea, it is a nice place to be~"

"Hey Eduard, are you intentionally bragging about that?" I asked. "This conversation is not something to joke about."

"A-Ah! My bad, my bad! I was just trying to lighten the mood!" Eduard felt a bit surprised when I said that.
