Zeppelin asked,
“Was it to conclude the treaty?”
“More precisely, it was to identify who agreed to the conclusion and who opposed it.”
The result was an even split.
The Kelly Kingdom, the Kyle Kingdom, and the Dorothy Kingdom voted against it.
Shinjugyo, the Halmin Kingdom, and the Alif Kingdom voted in favor.
Еnũm̄ ӑ
In the event of a tie, the kingdoms held more influence than the religious order.
Under normal circumstances, the treaty should have ended without ratification.

However—
“Then we will form a non-aggression pact with the Demon Tribe ourselves.”
The Halmin Kingdom and the Alif Kingdom changed their stance.
They attempted to conclude non-aggression pacts with the Demon Tribe independently.

The other three kingdoms condemned them.
“The Southern Continent must unite to face foreign powers.”
“If we scatter, we will achieve nothing.”
“With the Demon Tribe as our common enemy, how can we fail to stand together?”

Those were the core accusations.
In contrast, the arguments of the Halmin Kingdom and the Alif Kingdom, which sought to sign the treaty, were as follows:
W̄ е́ bńо̀ v е l. Еn̊ ù mа̌
“Are you not opposing the very act of eliminating that so-called common enemy?”
“Do you know how many resources are consumed in a single war? If we cannot eradicate the Demon Tribe, then forming treaties like this is the best option.”
Thus, the opinions diverged.
Even so, the irony was that all five nations desired the same thing.
Peace.
One side sought to preserve peace through treaties with the enemy.

The other sought to preserve peace through overwhelming national strength.
Zeppelin spoke.
“In the end, the core of this situation is whether the Demon Tribe can be trusted or not.”
“Precisely.”
Those in favor trusted the Demon Tribe.
Those opposed did not.

The Lord of Baster continued his explanation.
“At present, the Southern Continent has split into two factions.”

The pro-treaty faction and the anti-treaty faction.
In truth, they were hardly factions at all.
The pro-treaty side simply claimed, ‘It is our country, and we will decide for ourselves.’
The problem was—
Ӗ n u ṁ а́.іḋ
“The opposing side is not content to sit back and watch their actions.”
The Southern Continent had to remain united.
To stand against the massive foreign power that was the Demon Tribe, not a single nation could be allowed to break away.
Thus, the opposing side attempted to block the two kingdoms that sought to leave.

They threatened them with statements that bordered on coercion, even invoking the possibility of force.
“Because of that, the two factions have now completely turned against each other.”
Ẇе̃ b̄ ǹо̄ v̌ê l Ё n̈ umӑ
Angered by the coercive attitude of the opposition, the pro-treaty side severed all goodwill.
From their backs, one could feel a fierce resolve that they would not shy away from war.
Zeppelin nodded.
He summarized the situation in a single sentence.
“A war to prevent war is about to break out.”
“…That is an apt description.”

The Lord of Baster praised his phrasing.
Zeppelin asked,
“Then why did you summon me?”
“I wished to hear your opinion.”
“My opinion.”
“Yes. What do you think of this war? How do you believe our Dorothy Kingdom should act?”

“….”
Zeppelin fell silent in thought.

After a moment,
he shook his head.
“It is a dead end.”
“A dead end?”
Е̂ ň ũmа
“Unless either the pro-treaty side or the anti-treaty side yields, there is no way to resolve this situation.”
“Is it truly that severe?”
Zeppelin nodded.
“The moment the factions split, it was already over. If war breaks out now… well. If I were the Demon Tribe, I would be opening champagne in celebration.”

He spoke calmly, but the situation was far more serious than it sounded.
The Lord of Baster’s face turned pale.

“There must be a way. A way to end this peacefully, without war.”
“After matters have already escalated to coercive threats, do you truly think such a method exists?”
“…Hmm.”
The Lord of Baster swallowed.
He paced the room, pondering how the situation might be salvaged.
As he did, Zeppelin spoke.

“My lord, there is one thing I would like to ask.”
“Hm? What is it?”
The Lord of Baster looked at him with a receptive expression.
“Lord Baster…”
Zeppelin’s eyes gleamed coldly.
“To what extent are you entangled with the Demon Tribe?”
