Villainess Is Quite Evil Episode 3.

The Clifton Archdukedom is the household regarded as similar to the Imperial Family, and they control the largest territory in the empire's southern section.

At the period, the empire successfully led invasions into the Zèlion continent's northern, western, and eastern areas in order to unite the continent and prepare for the capture of the continent's greatest kingdom, the Clifton Kingdom, in the southern region.

At the same time, Lucienn Agrein de Clifton, King of Clifton Kingdom, did not want to send his people to war, and this was not due to fear.

In fact, more than half of the Clifton kingdom was a lair of dangerous monsters known as the Forest of Mortem, which had a war with the empire in the west while guarding the monsters in the south, like like dancing with death.

The Forest of the Mortem is known to many as a land of double-edged treasure, it can be the source of disaster, but it can also be the land of fortune. It all depends on how they handle this murderous treasure.

This is because the monster's body has manastone, a valuable item used as an energy core in magical items, and the price of manastone for a conquest team can cover the entire cost. Every year of the empire, the Clifton kingdom was called the most prosperous land for this reason.

He established the agreement due to the fact the situations are reasonable, and with none sacrifice, the benefit is some distance larger than he may want to imagine.

Simply put, they don't have the extra manpower to fight against that to rebel Imperial Family, unless they have no other choice but as long as both parties don't break the contract there is no need to spill blood.

The Emperor sanctioned the Kingdom of Clifton as part of the Empire and granted limited independence to the lands of the Kingdom of Clifton as the Archduchy of Clifton of the Great Zèlion
