"That's actually quite intriguing…"
In fact, more than the whole matter of princess and the hero, I was alarmed by the whole process. Even if the hero would always die after finishing his tasks, it wouldn't matter at all for me… But if I wanted to subjugate all those people for the sake of bringing them under my leash, I had to prevent the appearance of their hero at all costs!
Even if I was reluctant to acknowledge myths or legends as a reliable source of information, with had to accept the fact that there was always a seed of truth somewhere in them. I could clearly remember how the visitor from the other island gave off clearly more powerful vibes than the Overlord himself did. If I took it as a point of reference for the potential strength of the invaders, that would mean that this so-called hero of the people was even stronger than them!
