Leo really wanted to disagree, but it was his Master Olivia's choice, and the situation also requires him to sacrifice himself just to form this alliance.

Although he can actually still disagree nonetheless, but it would take them more time to persuade Queen Maria. Ash and Ethan should have already started the battle with the Black organization in Southern Fortress long ago, so they can't afford to waste any more time, especially if there is a choice that can instantly end the discussion of an alliance, and it's even in their favor as well.

"I'll just deal with this marriage when it comes. At most, I can escape from Silver Kingdom and return when I'm much more powerful than my Master Olivia. In that time, she will definitely not be able to force me to accept this anymore." Leo secretly thought to himself. There was no need for him to further entertain this topic, as it would only cause him to feel stress and helpless. Rather than wasting his time dealing with that, it was much more appropriate to continue with their goal of conquering the Silver Kingdom.

"Since that's all said and done, then how about let's complete this discussion with an Oath?" Queen Olivia suddenly suggested. There was really no need for an Oath right now since every powerful person values their words like Magic stones, hence they would definitely not go back on their promises. Although there are still people who go back on their promises, Queen Maria was definitely not one of them.

"I'm fine with that, but it definitely should be the same term as what my daughter Elaine had just said awhile ago." Queen Maria agreed, but again on a condition.

"Oh, I have a much better term than that." Queen Olivia smiled before closing her eyes and starting the Oath "Oath of Mana; I swear to Queen Maria of Blue Fin Kingdom that we, the Mischievous Lion organization, would die alongside them!"

Whoooosh!

A cloud of Mana gathered around the air before it suddenly dispersed and went into a different location.

A wisp of Mana stopped in front of Leo, Gretchen, Margaret, Blaze, Haze, Glaze, and the other members of Mischievous Lion organization gathered in this place as it then went into their consciousness.

"Would that Oath be fine?" Queen Olivia turned to look at Queen Maria.

"Oh, that's better than what I expected." Queen Maria replied, "Oath of Mana; I swear to Queen Olivia of Mischievous Lion organization that we, the Blue Fin Kingdom, would die alongside them!"

Whoooosh!

The same as what had taken place when Queen Olivia finished the Oath, a cloud of Mana appeared above them, but this time it was a lot bigger compared to Queen Olivia's, indicating the number of people that had sworn loyalty to Queen Maria is greater than Queen Olivia. 

A wisp of Mana then stopped above Princess Elaine as it then went inside her consciousness.

"With this, the Mischievous Lion organization and Blue Fin Kingdom's alliance is formed!" Queen Maria said.

"I hope to have a happy alliance with you, Queen Maria!" Queen Olivia replied.

"Same for me!" Queen Olivia nodded.

Seeing this, Leo can't help heaving a sigh of relief. Finally, one part of his entire plan is finished. Now, it was time for the next part, which is to reveal to them that Sword and Magic would also be working with them, at least on Madam Silva's side.

"Master Olivia?" Leo called out.

"Yes, Leo?" Queen Olivia turned to look at Leo, "If you have any disagreement with the terms that we have agreed, please forgive me for I can't help you with it."

Leo shook his head as he completely understood what his Master Olivia meant to say to him. To be honest, this was the exact reason why he doesn't want to just casually join any organization since his freedom would always be threatened. If he won't have any high or powerful position once he joins an organization, then he would absolutely not join.

In his case right now, it was only who he would marry that got decided by someone else, though he doesn't really have a problem with that since it's a member of the Blue Fin Kingdom royal family hence that woman would definitely not only be beautiful but also has a high potential to become powerful someday and capable, but if it was in any other organization, he would definitely become a sacrificial pawn. Anyways, his Master Olivia was also his step-mother, aside from being his sister-in-law, which he had just learned about, therefore she has the right to decide who he should marry. At least, she didn't forbid him from having others, right?

"I don't have any problem with that. Since it is you that decided that." Leo nodded his head helplessly. 

Olivia nodded her head in relief. She might be Leo's Master, but one of the teachings she had actually taught to him in the past was to value his freedom above all else, and such rule was what she had broken this time just to form this alliance. Although he seems to not care about it, she still can't deny the fact that she had broken that rule. She swore in her heart that she would definitely give something to Leo in exchange for this favor.

"So, what is it?"

"It's about the Sword and Magic-" Leo wasn't able to finish his words when a bright light suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

Slowly, Madam Silva walked out of this light alongside Angel, Evangelion, and Clydesdale.

"You can rest Leo, you've done a lot of things in this past few days already. Let me handle the explanation instead." Madam Silva said while looking at Queen Olivia and Queen Maria.

The moment Madam Silva appeared, Queen Olivia immediately took out her weapon, specifically a twin sword, as she pointed one of it to Madam Silva.

On the other hand, Queen Maria also took out her weapon as well, a trident, as she also pointed it to Madam Silva.

"Greetings to Queen Olivia and Queen Maria. I'm Silva Sylvani, or otherwise more known as Madam Silva. I'm the head of Sword and Magic branches of Silver Kingdom." Madam Silva introduced. She turned to look at Angel as she signaled her with her eyes to go with Leo.

Angel nodded in return as she nonchalantly walked towards Leo before standing at his side.

Leo really wanted to cry after seeing this. It really feels like that trouble has made knocking on his door as its number one hobby. He swore that if ever this so-called trouble was not an invisible entity, but instead a person, he would definitely beat the crap out of it.

Unexpectedly, Queen Olivia and Queen Maria both lowered their weapons after seeing this.

"I didn't expect that what I thought to just be an ordinary person would actually turn out to be a 5th Galaxy Mage." Queen Olivia greeted.

"No one could really expect the moves of Sword and Magic. If this was chess, then even if the other side doesn't move any piece, they would still find themselves losing in the game." Queen Maria also greeted.

"You don't have to speak so highly of Sword and Magic." Madam Silva walked towards them without feeling afraid.

"So, what does a member of the Sword and Magic doing in our place? Shouldn't you be preparing for the war to come?" Queen Olivia asked.

"We were indeed preparing. In fact, we have already finished on our side and it's just waiting for the final piece to finally set everything on fire." Madam Silva took the queen piece of Queen Olivia's side as she put it on a position, "To be more specific, to checkmate our real opponent!"

"Oh, allow me to ask, and who is this real opponent you're speaking about?" Queen Maria felt intrigued.

"Simple," Madam Silva pointed at Queen Maria's chess pieces, "The Black organization."

"What?!" Queen Olivia and Queen Maria were immediately shocked after hearing this.

Madam Silva snapped her finger, taking out a chair from her Storage Ring. She then sat on the chair before motioning for Queen Olivia and Queen Maria to sit down on their respective chairs.

Queen Olivia and Queen Maria didn't stand on ceremony as they both sat on their chair.

Seeing this, Madam Silva began speaking, "What you thought to be members of the Sword and Magic in Southern Fortress are actually the Black organization's reinforcement. Though there are still a few Sword and Magic members, but I assure you that they are only confused of the current situation right now."

"Ridiculous! Do you really think you can successfully lie us with that?" Queen Olivia was the first one to not believe Madam Silva. Who was Madam Silva even trying to fool here, would the members of Sword and Magic assigned in Silver Kingdom worked with those people in Southern Fortress if they were really members of the Black organization? Obviously, there would never be a chance!

Whooosh!

Two-person wearing black hooded mantle suddenly arrived.

Queen Olivia turned to look at them as she softens her voice and asked, "What are both of my benefactors doing here?"

"We are here to greet Madam Silva!"

They both then half-kneeled on the ground.

"Elder Rain and Ava." Madam Silva motioned his hand, "You can both stand."

"Ava?" Queen Maria dubiously asked.

Seemingly seeing that there was no used hiding anymore, Commander Ava took off the hood covering her face.

"Commander Ava?!" Princess Elaine and Leo both exclaimed in shock.

"I apologize for fooling you, Queen Maria. I'm actually a member of the Sword and Magic and has always been a member. My task in Blue Fin Kingdom was to protect the two Leviathans in Floating Mountain, the same as your responsibility as the inheritors of the Floating Mountain, and since I've failed in protecting them, an Elder of Sword and Magic came to me to take me back to Sword and Magic Headquarters to receive my punishment." Commander Ava half-kneeled on the ground once again to apologize to Queen Maria, who she had been fooling in all of these years.

"I see..." Queen Maria nodded as she quickly understood the situation. If what Commander Ava had said was indeed the truth, then the situation should have been; when the Elder named Rain came to fetch Ava, they suddenly heard of the news that those members of Sword and Magic that came are actually members of the Black organization, hence they helped Queen Olivia fight Vladimir.

"Then is your President Vladimir actually a member of Black organization?" Queen Olivia asked.

"Fortunately for us, that person is not the actual Vladimir." Elder Rain suddenly butted in.
