I teleported Sheila and her entourage from the outskirts to the reception hall in an instant. They looked around in shock, unable to comprehend the sudden change in scenery.

“What is the meaning of this?” Sheila murmured, looking at me with both wariness and curiosity. “An illusion?”

“Teleport,” I answered. “It’s Lardon’s spell.”

“The Dragon’s Diadem?”

“Hm?” I cocked my head at the unfamiliar title.

“Am I wrong?” Sheila asked.

“Well, uh...”

“She is not mistaken. That refers to me,” Lardon answered. She sounded somewhat disgruntled, which surprised me quite a bit, considering how unfazed she’d been about being called an evil dragon before. I wonder what’s up.

“Um... Seems you’re right.”

“I see. I’ve heard that you wield many of that dragon’s spells. It appears to be the truth.”

“Right... Anyway, come on in.”

Half of Sheila’s subordinates stayed in the front lawn to watch over their dragons, while the remaining half came into the reception hall with us, where we were welcomed by the noncombatant elves I stationed here. Important guests would come and go in this building, so I found it best to have the clever and tactful elves work here.

After leaving the subordinates to them, I personally escorted Sheila to the most extravagant room in the building. The windows here were made of highest-quality glass and reached all the way to the three-story-tall ceiling. A soft carpet led us to two armchairs.

“After you.”

“Why, thank you.”

After letting Sheila get settled first, I took my seat and faced her. “So,” I began, “you mentioned an alliance, right?”

“Oho ho ho! I did indeed!”

“Any conditions?” I thought back to recent events. Both Jamille and Parta had come with some sort of marriage talks on hand, so I wondered if Quistador might be the same. In fact, maybe this princess in front of me...

“A military nonaggression pact,” Sheila answered.

I blinked, lost for words. “That’s all?”

“Yes.”

It sounded too good to be true. Military nonaggression went without saying when forming an alliance. I might not have been born a noble, but I still knew that it was the barest of minimums, an obvious agreement that need not even be said. I couldn’t help my simmering suspicions when she said that was all she needed.

“My, your doubt is written all over your face. Do you not believe me?”

“Honestly, no.”

“In Quistador,” she began, “there is a warning that has been passed down to every generation: ‘Do not turn against the Dragon’s Diadem.’”

“Against Lardon? What happened?”

“Our country was nearly annihilated.”

“What?” I inwardly asked Lardon if that was true. “Hmph,” was all she replied, sounding just as disgruntled as earlier.

That’s practically a yes. So something did happen in the past. But anyway, just going by the fact that Lardon acknowledged it as an incident at all, I could already imagine how traumatized Quistador must be. Could this have something to do with the Tri-Draconic War?

“That is one of the reasons why I, the leader of the Dragoons, was dispatched here,” Sheila continued. “If you truly did inherit the powers of the Dragon’s Diadem, then our dragons would surely react in some way.
