"What do you mean?" Queen Olivia can't help becoming curious about Elder Rain's reply.
"Just like what I have just mentioned, the Vladimir you are seeing right now is not the actual Vladimir, but rather another person who changed appearance into Vladimir." Elder Rain explained.
"I think you are familiar with this name, Barbara. She's one of the Black organization's Vice-presidents that has a unique capability called Perfect Disguise." Madam Silva explained, "If you still don't believe me, then read this letter." She pushed a letter to Queen Olivia.
Queen Olivia took the letter. While reading, her face slowly turned into surprised. Afterwards, she folded the letter and passed it to Queen Maria.
Queen Maria also reacted the same way as Queen Olivia before passing the letter back to Madam Silva.
"What is she doing here..." Queen Olivia can't help asking in distress. In the past, back when she and Reinhart were still fighting in the War of Races, they had heard many stories of Barbara the Perfect Disguise, or short for, Barbara.
At that time, Barbara was already the Vice-president of the Black organization, said to be able to perfectly change into the physical appearance of the person she had killed. And because of that, Barbara became one of the most fearsome people amongst the Human race. It was even to the point that Humans started doubting each other, thinking that the person beside them is actually Barbara. Fortunately, a Prince of Aurora Empire was able to heavily injure Barbara in a fight, causing her to return back to the Black organization to recuperate. Ever since then, she didn't appear anymore. That is, until today though...
"So that's why I've heard a Prince of the Aurora Empire was killed. So, Barbara, the Perfect Disguise has finally returned!" Queen Maria said.
Queen Olivia can't help turning to look at Queen Maria in surprise as it then quickly turned into those of rage before calming down to hide it from everyone else. Except for one person though...
Elder Rain, ever since he arrived, he had always been looking at Queen Olivia and Leo, wishing that he can reveal his real identity to them and finish their relentless pursuit of finding the truth about his death or his whereabouts. Simply put, to put an end to these charades.
Amongst everyone present here today, only Commander Ava knew of Elder Rain's true identity, specifically Rain as in Rein from Reinhart.
"Very simple, everyone can already expect it, Barbara is here to claim Silver Kingdom! As for the reason why nobody knows." Madam Silva said.
"So, what you meant to say is, Barbara, is the one leading the Sword and Magic this time and not Vladimir?" Queen Maria wanted to ascertain something, "If that is indeed the case, then don't tell me your real President has already been killed by her?"
"No! All of those people who came with her are actually members of the Black organization, with no exception." Madam Silva replied, "As for our President, he's still alive but we just don't know his whereabouts. Say, how can we receive this letter to warn us if he was dead already, right?"
"Oh, I finally get where you're getting at." Queen Maria smiled.
"Tch, I never expect that we would actually be forming an alliance with the enemy I was plotting against ever since the beginning of this war!" Queen Olivia said but quickly corrected herself, "I mean, what we once thought as our enemy."
"Forming an alliance with you? Hahahaha, you are greatly mistaken here." Madam Silva suddenly laughed.
"Huh?!" Queen Olivia and Queen Maria dubiously exclaimed.
"I'm forming an alliance with Leo," Madam Silva walked towards Leo who was pushed by Angel to her, "Not joining with your alliance."
"But Leo is part of our alliance no matter where you looked at!" Queen Olivia said.
"Indeed, he's part of Mischievous Lion organization, I can't argue with that. Nevertheless, I'm only going to form an alliance with him, not the Mischievous Lion organization nor the Blue Fin Kingdom." Madam Silva tapped Leo's shoulder, "All I want to say is, I want him to lead this war, not you, Queen Olivia, nor you, Queen Maria. Just the Leo of the Smiling Lion group and the City Lord of Heart city."
Hearing this, Queen Olivia can't help forming a smile on her face, but she was still against the idea, though. Although it was great that Madam Silva thinks highly of her disciple, Leo was still young. Despite having many experiences unlike the other young people in his age, it still doesn't deny the fact that his experience is lacking. If this was a battle involving only 9 Stars below, then she would definitely have faith and trust in Leo. But this time, it was a battle involving a 9th Galaxy Special Mage, and not to mention tens of thousands of people from different groups of people, specifically from Sword and Magic organization, Mischievous Lion organization, and the Blue Fin Kingdom fighting against the Black organization. Even she wasn't sure whether she can really lead this many people.
"I fully support your idea, but I still won't allow that to happen." Queen Olivia said.
"I also like such an idea since that would allow Leo's image to become a lot brighter and hence it wouldn't be hard anymore for one of my princesses to fall in love with him, but let's be practical here, even if we say his good, he would still not be able to complete such a thing." Queen Maria added.
Hearing the 'Fall in love with Leo' part, Angel suddenly shoots Leo a cold glare, even Cassandra, Elizabeth, and Charlotte subconsciously reacted the same way as well, though Angel's look was a lot colder than everyone else considering that she's a cold character already.
Fortunately, Leo wasn't paying any attention to them, but only to Queen Olivia, Madam Silva, Queen Maria, Elder Rain, and Commander Ava. If he indeed saw their reaction, his current trouble would definitely increase higher.
"I know that it is nearly impossible for him to successfully do it. But, I still won't change my mind. If you don't agree with it, then I guess there would be two separate groups attacking the Southern Fortress, then." Madam Silva said.
"I also want to see what kind of person that Madam Silva, has found." Elder Rain supported. Leo was his younger brother, and since such an opportunity was present for him, he would naturally fully support Leo in doing this, even if he won't know. This could also develop Leo's strength, which is his goal from the very moment he faked his death, so why would he even be against it, right?
"What would you say about this matter, Leo?" Queen Olivia turned to look at Leo. It was obvious to see that Madam Silva was fully determined on making Leo the Commander in this battle, not only her, even the entire Sword and Magic wants to do so, so the only thing she can do was ask for Leo about his thoughts. Though, looking at that kid right now, she could already see that he wants to do this.
"I want to do this!" Leo replied firmly and with determination. Of course, he knew clearer than everyone else that he was still not ready to lead tens of thousands of people. After all, he knew himself more than what the other people knew about him. But when can he really say he's ready, then? When he's old? When he's powerful? When the moon turned blue or the crows turned white? Obviously, it's none of the two because it's when he tries to do it where he can see whether he's ready or not.
"You don't expect to persuade me with just 5 words, right?" Queen Olivia sneered. Even if Leo was his discipline, he would still need more than that to persuade her.
"I have conquered Southeast Fortress with only hundreds of soldiers against thousands of soldiers. And those people I was leading were not even as powerful as all of you present here. So, imagine if what I'm leading are people as powerful as all of you, and Southern Fortress is not even that much different from Southeast Fortress aside from the fact that they have a 9th Galaxy Special Mage with them and that they are mostly made up of the Black organization. Also, I've always been fighting with the Black organization for the past months or so, so allow me to fight against them more," Leo paused as he turned to look at Queen Olivia, Madam Silva, Queen Maria, Elder Rain, and Commander Ava with excitement evident in his eyes, "This time, I have a 7th Galaxy Mage, a 5th Galaxy, a 9th Galaxy Mage, and a 2nd Galaxy Mage. I apologize Elder Rain, my level of cultivation, unfortunately, can't seem to see through your cultivation."
"Oh, I'm actually a 9th Galaxy Mage as well." Elder Rain replied with a chuckle.
Leo's eyes can't help immediately lighting up hearing that Elder Rain is actually a 9th Galaxy Mage.
"And now we have two 9th Galaxy Mage! So, what are we afraid about?"
"Of course, it's you messing this up!" Queen Olivia rolled her eyes.
"But, what I'm going to do is just simply to lead all of you, make plans to counter theirs, and stuffs related to strategy, the ones fighting isn't me, so the one we should be worried about messing up is not me but all of you here." Leo didn't felt afraid of what he was going to say, "Even if Barbara is a 9th Galaxy Special Mage, who says we can't counter a Perfect Disguise, right?"
"If even the Vampire's nose can be fooled," Leo secretly glimpsed at Cassandra. "Even an ignorant person can further be fooled," He turned to look at Madam Silva, implying he knew that he knew she had fooled him with the large Mana stone price. "And even Mischievous Lion organization, Sword and Magic organization, Blue Fin Kingdom, and Silver royal family can be fooled!" Leo turned to look at Queen Olivia and Queen Maria. "So, not to mention a single person!"
"Oh, then what do you propose, Commander Leo!" Queen Maria said with a smile on her face. What Leo had said was indeed right, he was just going to lead them, as he won't personally fight against the enemy, so why would they be afraid of him messing things up? If worst really comes, then they can simply not follow his order and do whatever they deemed fit for the current situation. Moreover, they were not Golems, specifically lacking the capability to think and adapt, so there is no need to worry.
"Commander Leo, I like the sound of that!" Queen Olivia smiled as well. Since everyone agrees, why would she, as Leo's Master, not agree as well, right?
"Glad everyone can agree with me!" Madam Silva nodded in relief. If they didn't agree, then the only thing left for them was to fight in a separate group against the Black organization. Although it is still possible for them to win, having more people with them is obviously welcome.
"First, let's name this alliance, Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance!" Leo said with a mischievous smile on his face.
