As Aries and I aimed our magic wands at each other, the tension on both sides seemingly reached a climax like a tightly pulled bow. However, Aries and I withdrew our magic wands at the same time, and the group looked at me with curious eyes.

"It would be foolish to show unjustified hostility in the druid’s forest."

The castle was acting like a druid's forest using Merlin's magic. According to the literature, anyone who takes someone's life in the druid forest will be unconditionally penalized. Gargoyles weren’t living creatures, so attacking them didn't matter, but those people weren't. Aries nodded as if he were concurring and said, "I agree. Druids are a peace-loving violent people. It's completely illogical.”

Of course, even so, we couldn't let our guards down. It was always possible to deceive the druid's unreasonable standards.

"For now, let’s stop fighting. What did you all come here for? If we can make concessions, let's do so."

"Master!" At my suggestion, Percival looked at me as if this shouldn’t be allowed to happen.

- Calm down. We’ll only lose out fighting here. Our purpose is to protect the last queen anyway.

Personally, I was greedy for Merlin's research materials...
