Hearing the word 'alliance', Alucard's face reverted to a neutral, pensive expression.
There was silence, but the sounds of a calming orchestra began playing in the background.
A gentle melody.
Usan didn't say why they needed an alliance.
But that was for a very simple reason.
They couldn't flat out say their intentions from the get-go.
Why wouldn't Alucard simply notify the Dual Empire of the Temple's goal?
They could request something in return, while simultaneously pitting one country against another.
On Earth, alliances were marked by betrayal.
Even if two countries were at their friendliest relations, a simple disagreement over food could result in an all-out war!
But obviously, things were different here.
Wars were incredibly risky to initiate.
Especially when dealing with powerhouses and the sort.
Most of the time, the casualties suffered were above and beyond the realm of understanding.
