Chapter 11. The common goal

The darkness of the camp enveloped me like a heavy blanket as I tried to make sense of what I had heard. After I managed to eavesdrop on the conversation between the heroine and the main villain, I was no less perplexed by this than I might have expected.

I couldn't believe that the peace negotiations in this war were really the initiative of none other than the Crown Princess of this empire. After all, this was definitely the last person you would expect something like that from. A woman who had previously gone to war just to shed someone's blood suddenly realized the value of human lives…? It seemed absurd, as if fate itself had decided to play a prank.

Unsurprisingly, I have legitimate concerns about this.

Knowing full well about Caena de Ronan's treacherous nature, I definitely couldn't take everything at face value so easily. After all, who knows what this psychopath might actually be up to.
