Ghislain's destination was the border region between the Kingdom of Xanthos and the Kingdom of Potinus.

The two kingdoms had never gotten along. In the past, even minor misunderstandings had escalated into large-scale wars.

Of course, in the current era, they merely ground their teeth at each other while making efforts to maintain peace. They couldn’t recklessly wage war anymore.

The Holy Empire did not tolerate conflicts between kingdoms unless there was an extremely serious issue. After all, no one knew when the Demonic Realm might resurface.

Historically, wars between kingdoms tended to break out after a major suppression of the Demonic Realm rather than before.

As Ghislain flipped through a book detailing the history of the two kingdoms, he muttered,

"Ironically, defeating the Demonic Realm doesn’t bring peace—it just sparks another war. Even after fending off the demonic hordes, people still can’t help but fight. Why can’t they just share, be considerate, and treat each other kindly? Their endless greed… Tsk, tsk."
