A Talk With Lady Verdant

-----

"He's going to definitely summon demonic monsters or something similar once we begin attacking the Magician Tower," said Tomas. "And he'll summon the magicians that serve him as well… I-I don't know how I feel about fighting them all, some of them are like me, innocent people that were forcefully turned into demonic humans once they convinced us to join the guild. Is it really okay to slay them?"

"In the heat of the battle there will be little time to make smaller judgements like that," the King said with a ruthless tone of voice. "I am sorry Tomas, but unless they yield themselves I won't make my army delay their attack or go easy on our enemies just because of the chance some of them might be forced to fight… this is a thing of life and death. If we lose, my entire Kingdom will fall."

"I-I understand…" Tomas sighed. "I know, I apologize, your majesty… I'll also fight. If possible, I'll search for these people myself. Is that okay with you?"
