As I was trying to negotiate with the woman, suddenly some loud bangs could be heard from outside. Hearing that, I immediately thought of the worst scenario: this legion would try to attack the tree. Some loud bangs could be heard for a couple of minutes.

The woman who was still on the floor and couldn't stand up, said, "

The problem is I don't know if the cafe skill is automatically detecting me in danger, so if I disable the skill right now to make her stand up, it could lead to the cafe being vulnerable. I said, "You can stand up by yourself, just remove your malicious feelings or thoughts of forcing me. If those thoughts and feelings are gone, the pressure around you will disappear. I was watching her trying to get her composure, and I saw her slowly move her body. However, in the middle of that, the loud bangs from outside still could be heard.

A few minutes later, finally, she regained control of her body, which meant she didn't have any malice feelings towards me. However, the loud bangs from outside kept happening. I asked her, "How about you go outside, especially to the ground? Because I believe, these loud bangs came from the army, where they seemed to worry about you."

She said, "First of all, you said, 'This place is indestructible.'. So it's not a problem, they will just feel exhausted by themselves. However, I still want you to come with me."

"Your answer is quite amusing; it means you must be an important person. The army is doing all of these to you, but you are still not worrying about it." I took a seat, and continued, "About I come with you, I still need you to agree to my terms. It's just a simple term, just to ensure my safety."

She took a seat in front of me, with seriousness shown on her face, and said, "First of all, about your term, I couldn't ensure your safety totally, which means there is some high order or power above me. If these orders or power commands to do something that puts you in danger, I may not be able to protect you. Secondly, I need you to understand that my loyalty lies with my superiors, so I cannot guarantee your safety in every situation."

"I understand that, yet which order or power are you talking about that above you?"

"The highest one is, of course, the saintess' word. The second one is the Lord of the Realm's word."

"Lord of the Realm? What is that?"

"It's a position that has the authority of the human realm. It's above the king; if a king's authority is the kingdom, the Lord of the Realm's authority is the human realm, so all the human kingdom must kneel before him."

"I see, so the order to bring me to come with you from whom?"

"The order came from the Lord of the Realm himself. He has requested your presence in front of him."

"For what reason?"

"There is no word about that reason, however, the information about the saintess' party passed out in this place, should be an alarm to him."

I don't know about this, the Lord of the Realm, there is a high chance that this person will see me as a threat, a demon like Chistera or Varania, so coming in front of him is like a death sentence. I asked, "Can you reach the saintess for me?"

"Reach? Why do you need the saintess?"

"You told me the saintess is the highest one, so I want to make a deal with her about me visiting your realm or kingdom."

"However, reaching the saintess, not usually she will agree…"

"I believe, she will agree about this one. So how long do I need to wait for the saintess to come here?"

"You want her to come here? Not just sending a message?"

"Of course, I want her to come here…So how long?"

As I looked at her, still thinking about it, the sound of loud bangs kept going. Finally, she said, "Let me go down first and discuss this!"

"Of course, you may go there, and please stop them!"

She stood up and walked to the front door. She exited the coffee shop and started to go down the stairs. A while later, almost an hour later, finally, the loud bangs stopped. It meant she was on the ground with the army, and hoped she could reach the saintess, and actually, it was thrilling to see the human realm or kingdom. You know, if it was a fantasy world, many of them took place in medieval times. So to see these mediaeval times must be amazing for a human from the modern era.

From the sun soared sky-high until it began to set, I kept waiting from inside. Will she come back or not? It's a waste if she doesn't come back, as I have prepared and worn these clothes already. I kept waiting, yet I felt she wouldn't come back. I walked towards the stairs and back to my room. As I wanted to take a step at the first stairs, suddenly, I heard a knock on the door. So she comes back. Immediately, I walked towards the door and opened it.

Surprisingly, she really brought the person I wanted to negotiate with, Cera, the saintess. However, the saintess came alone without Arion the Paragon and Mago the Archmage. I greeted them and invited them inside. They took a seat at the table, and I followed it.

As our eyes met each other, finally Cera opened her mouth, "I heard you want to meet me?"

I said, "Yes…As you can see, this lady," I pointed at the woman before, "wants me to come with her, to meet this the Lord of the Realm. I am so thrilled to go, I want to see how the human realm or their kingdom is. However, I sense a danger lay in this invitation, with the information of you and others passed out in this shop," Immediately, Cera's face blushed, "this means the human realm could see me as a threat. With that, I want someone's word to ensure my safety."

Cera asked, "What about the two creatures in here as I and others were here?"

"They have come back to their natural habitat…"

"I see…"

"So, I want you to ensure my safety; can you do that?"

"I could do that."

"Gr—"

"With one condition…"

"One condition?"

"I want you, to set a meeting between me and the demon lord, Lilith…"

The woman beside her was shocked as Cera told me the condition. I asked Cera, "Are you sure about that? The wind I heard, no creature can stand of her presence."

Cera was looking around and said, "This place, I believe all creatures could stand of her presence in this place; as you have told me, this place negates everything. It means it negates the aura of the demon lord, even my relic couldn't stand in this place."

The woman beside her gasped in disbelief. I took a few seconds to think about it, a meeting between the saintess and the demon lord is a simple task for me, yet, is it a good idea? I don't want to shake anything in this world, even their view or politics. I asked Cera, "If I agree with your term, what do you want from Lilith, and what is the purpose of the meeting?"

"Why should you be concerned about that?"

"The meeting is in here, so I should be concerned about this. I don't want you to see me as a threat after I say this, however, " I looked into her eyes, confidently I continued, "Lilith has become my favourite customer."

Cera's expression softened; however I could see her hand, gripping tightly, she replied, "I see. For a human, you are a unique one, that demon lord has become your favourite customer, not just the demon lord, the other high-ranking demons should be your favourite customers too…Believe it or not, Darya, I believe that's your name; the meeting between me and the demon lord in here won't cause any issues for you. It's just a simple meeting between human and demon."

"If you say that, I will trust you and I will keep your words."

"It applies to you too; I will trust you, and I will keep your word for the meeting."

I raised my hand to her, trying to get a handshake from her. Cera said, "I am sorry, but I don't do a handshake, yet you could keep my word. My word is truthful, as my word is a symbol of the goddess' word, there will be no lie in my word."

I said, "Okay then…So, will you be accompanying me to meet this Lord of the Realm?"

"I will accompany you and ensure your safety in your visit…"

"Great…"

We stood up from the table and walked towards the door. We exited from the shop. As I was outside, I locked the door of the shop while the others were waiting for me. After that, we walked down the stairs together, with me behind them. Slowly, as we were walking down the stairs, I could see the legion of army on the ground was larger than I saw from above.

After some moments later, we touched down on the ground. Immediately, I felt a lot of heavy stares from all the people in the army. Their eyes followed us, especially me, as we made our way through. Suddenly, they stopped, and I looked in front of them; there was a group of people in a circle with attire like Cera, the saintess, yet not quite the same.

Cera said, "Follow me!". She was walking at the centre of the group; I followed her with the other woman. As we were at the centre, the group of people started to chant something. As I carefully heard the chant, I recognised the chant, yet there was no time to recognise the chanting because——-
