At that time, Nadia had accomplished something remarkable.
She had brokered an alliance with a demi-human world that had been particularly hostile to humans for generations.
This world had been heavily influenced by the Eternal Queen's propaganda during the war.
They had been taught to see humans as enemies—as oppressors, as threats, as something to be fought against without mercy.
Even after the war ended, they refused to give in.
They kept fighting. Kept resisting. Kept hating.
But through years of careful negotiation, through strategic deals and patient diplomacy, Nadia had finally done it.
She had brought them to the table.
She had secured an alliance.
It was a massive achievement.
A cause for celebration.
Not just because it meant peace with former enemies—but because this world had resources that could benefit both realms.
Technology. Knowledge. Cultural treasures that would enrich human society for generations.
It was the deal of the year.
