The following section contains spoilers. In the civil war of the Union of Eastern Nations, the kingdom of Lastania remained neutral.

Hashim invited all the neutral faction to a feast as a form of reconciliation. Julius foresaw Hashim's plot to eradicate all the neutral faction, in order for Fuuga to unify the Union of Eastern Nations. so Julius told the pregnant Tia and his parent-in-law to escape to to go to the Freidonia Kingdom. He explains that there is an ulterior motive and Fuuga plans to dispose all neutral faction, and the only option for them is to flee. He told them to request the Nothung Dragon Knight Kingdom for aerial travel. Julius decided to remain to make it less suspicious and to buy time.

Hashim pointed out the Lastania kingdom is an obstacle because he knows Julius didn't participate in the reconciliation feast. He suggested disposing him because as long as Julius remains untouched in Lastania, Fuuga couldn't unify the Union of Eastern Nations. In Duke Chima's notes mentioned him to be a talented individual that must be recruited or dealt with quickly. Hashim originally wanted to recruit Julius and use him against the Freidonia Kingdom. However with Julius and Souma reconciled in the demon wave, Hashim and Fuuga decided get rid of him. Hashim advises Fuuga to take his elite troops to Lastania and prevent him from going to the Nothung border.

Hashim and Julius both misread each other capacity, Hashim misread Julius quick advance to the Nothung border, while Julius misread Fuuga's troops speed. Julius, Jirukoma and 40 loyalist headed towards the Nothung's border while being pursued by Fuuga's elites troops. Julius has managed to escape to the Nothung border, to which Hashim says it is regretful as he wanted to recruit him and now he has become a troublesome enemy.

Julius questioned Souma's intention if Fuuga ever asked to deliver the custody of Julius and the Lastania family to Fuuga. Souma replied that he would use the advantage of his position as a brother-in-law to refuse Fuuga. And if Hashim sends assassins, Souma will assign guards. After hearing this, Julius pledges his loyalty to Souma and offers his service as a vassal. Souma accepts his fealty and Julius later becomes known as the "White Strategist.
