Chapter 303

Lucky 303

A shocking piece of news!

"Hey, did you know? Junian was actually the one who orchestrated the terrorist attack back then, the one who hijacked a flying ship!"

"Really?"

People were gossiping. This information was quite heavy and everyone was interested.

"I'm sorry, but I'm not joking, the government has found evidence and is currently asking for Junian's explanation!"

"Wow, I know that something is wrong back then."

The citizens remembered that time when the hijacked flying ship flew over the Capitolium. It was the talk of the town, and everyone was curious about the identity of the terrorists. Now they found out that Junian had sabotaged their country.

As citizens of Dellia, it was obvious that every one of them was appalled and disgusted by Junian's despicable actions. They were angry and wanted to take revenge.

"Hmmph!! I know those bastards are just waiting to attack! They are asking for a treaty, but they are doing it behind our backs!"

An old retired man joined the discussion. He was one of the soldiers who fought in the two-way war three decades ago. He believed that the resentment between the two countries would not diminish even if time passed. After all, millions of lives were lost back then, and the three countries were not completely reconciled.

Now that they had confirmed the truth, Dellia was seething with anger and demanded an explanation from the other party. Of course, Junian denied all accusations.

"If there's another war, I'll join again. I'm old, and I want to die on the battlefield!"

The old man said, and the others respected him. Someone who could sacrifice his life for the country was a respectable man.

"Not only that!"

"What else?"

The gossip continued.

"I heard that they were responsible for the theft of our Fragment of Excalibur. The terrorists who attacked the opening ceremony were also from Junian!"

"Seriously?"

Well, that was shocking, but kind of expected.

"That's just a rumor, unlike the hijacked flying ship, but I think it's true. The government is also trying to contact Junian about this."

"Hmmph! I bet they want to deny these accusations as well!"

They were right. Junian denied it and condemned Dellia for forcing sins on them.

But the country of Dellia was adamant, and they had several proofs that Junian had planted spies in their country, and those spies had caused the terrorist acts. Most of the evidence was real because Junian really did spy on Dellia.

Even if Junian tried to say no, Dellia would put the blame on them. For the sole purpose of war, Dellia was willing to create a lie. They used the hatred of the citizens and blamed all the sins on Junian. It was a move that only the people at the top could make.

"Those despicable Junians! They are still as savage as in the past!"

The story goes that the mortals betrayed the elven kingdom of Hulian in the midst of the battle against the Aberrants of the Forest of Death.

The strong warriors of the kingdom fought the Aberrants, leaving their defenses weak. The mortals with superpowers (TAs) took advantage of this opportunity and easily conquered the kingdom. The kingdom fell and the demihumans were treated as slaves.

Hundreds of years had passed, but it was impossible to forget such a thing.

"If this continues... There will be a war and millions of people will die."

Despite the aggression towards Junian, some citizens understood the consequences of going to war.

Death was something everyone feared.

"We have to stop this! We have to start an uprising!"

Some organizations did not want a war. Even politicians tried to talk to the President about reconciliation instead.

Unfortunately, Esmeralda never listened. Besides, Dellia was affected by the terrorists and it was impossible to ignore it.

If Junian was trying to deny her 'crimes', then Dellia must be 'reasonable'.

......

...

...

"Esmeralda! This is wrong!"

The leader of the Senate, Tito Sotsot, faced the newly elected President Esmeralda. This was an important meeting and nearly a hundred politicians and important people were present. The future of their country depended on their decision.

There were two factions.

The no-war faction, led by Senate President Tito Sotsot.

The yes-war faction was led by President Esmeralda Margaret.

As for the neutral faction, they just kept their mouths shut. Although it was obvious that they did not want to go to war.

'No one wants to go to war. The war of three decades ago is something we don't want to rekindle.'

Senator Juliano Francine rubbed his forehead. His stance was firm - war would bring destruction between the two countries.

"It's either war or reparations."

Esmeralda said firmly. She hoped for the former.

"And what kind of compensation do you want?"

Senator Tito Sotsot asked.

"The cannon. I want the blueprint of this technology."

"... Are you serious?"

A commotion erupted as the higher-ups talked to themselves. Some of them were stunned, but most of them were excited.

"I'm not kidding. Oh, and I want to see their king apologize publicly."

"Well, that seems tough, but I guess it's better than war."

They were actually relieved to hear Esmeralda's option. At least she was not so determined to start a war.

"Send this message to Junian... But I want to make things clear. If they don't apologize and pay compensation for their dirty deeds, I will send my troops and bombard their capital".

"We will do our best."

Senator Tito Sotsot sighed. It seemed they had no choice.

The meeting ended and they immediately contacted their prime minister in Junian to talk.

This plan would not end so quickly because Junian would have to think about it thoroughly. According to their calculations, Junian would have an answer and the end of the year. Everything depended on their decision.

Both sides have a strong military and they have Demigods as their guardians. If everything went according to plan, the answer to their questions would be found.

......

...

...

"So you're Lucky T. Tiko? From Carrillo?"

An airport security officer looked at the man in front of him. The man was wearing a blue shirt and jeans. Very casual and relaxed.

His hair was rather long, his bangs almost blocking his eyes.

"Yes, I'm here to visit a nice place."

He smiled amiably.
