"Nnh...."
Having heard Eve's intentions, Zwei doubted his ears. Eve's remarks so far seemed to be off track.
But Eve was more serious.
"You know what Eve's trying to do is hard, right? But this is Eve's home, and nobody might want to take it anymore. It's not funny how much you care about your home, is it?
"Yes, I think that would be great, but would that put Lord Eve in jeopardy?
"I don't know... But perhaps, even if Mr. Waltz and Mr. Cortex support us, they won't stop us."
"... I don't know if I'm from Mid Eden. But if you do something like that in our country, it's no wonder you're under sentence of death."
So, maybe Tswei-sama won't agree with me?
"... what did Eins say?
"... be bold when you do it. Sometimes momentum is necessary. Maybe he said... because he couldn't do it?
"Well, you're pointing in the wrong direction... or you regret it too soon..."
It is unclear what Tswei was astonished about Yuki's remarks, but at least it seems that Yuki's advice that Eve heard was not a good one. Yuki herself may have told Eve as a serious advisor, but at least Zwei didn't think so.
But as for Eve, Yuki's advice was not very important either because it was her own decision. She asked again without worrying about Zwei's reaction.
"Yuki may have said that she would support me, but Tsuvai-sama is... maybe not?
"... if you're going to answer as the city's administrator, you're going to have nothing to do with the town or the people, and you're going to get it, of course."
Bye-bye...
"But it is. If Eins treats Lord Eve as an adopted child, then (...) he is my niece. From that point of view, I disagree with your proposal. It's too dangerous. As it stands, you are in a position within the Borealis Empire, although not officially, to speak of the Empress is no exaggeration. Even if you leave it alone, you can live a life free of any inconvenience, but you will contribute to the development of the city until you abandon your position? Why?"
Whether Yuki, Zwei, or Nuru, he has been the emperor for hundreds of years. In other words, if Yuki adopts Eve, Eve becomes the Emperor's daughter, the Empress, and is in a position to eat without having to work hard.
However, Eve's "purpose" was not to jeopardize his position, but rather to have a bad relationship with Waltz and the others. In order to achieve her "purpose", Tswei and the Sirius sisters didn't know anything about it, so I can't let it go.... Eve seems to have taken his feet to his Zwei and other sisters to explain.
"Perhaps the reason is simple. I can't beat Ecleria like this. Do you need Mid Eden's help every time Eclaria attacks you again and again? What's the price? Who loses their families and property every time they go to war? Eve may not want to be robbed of his home anymore."
"... even with me, I hate to understand that in this war, fighting Eclaria is not something I can do with spirituality. But that's why you don't need to be in danger alone. Why don't we all talk about it? That's why if we put together your ideas, we'll find one or two answers."
"... is that the idea that came up, and you can definitely beat Ecleria?
"That's...."
Eve drank a sip of tea in front of Zwei. Hah, she sighed and said, looking up at Zwei.
"Eve might have been just a kid with nothing until Yuki picked him up. Everything I got was given to Yuki and Waltz-sama, and nothing I got from Eve alone. If I were to throw it away, could it hurt?
Having heard Eve's remarks, Zwei seems to have finally lost his words. In fact, Eve was an orphan who had lost his parents and lived alone until a few months ago.
Therefore, Eve's remarks were heavy. Its weight seemed to have easily crushed Zwei, who had been sitting without any doubt in a chair just given to his sister Nur for centuries. Eve's age must have been less than a dozenth of Zwei's age.
"... was I wrong..."
What?
"... Eve. You can do what you want. When I screw up... well, let's think about it then. Even if you were to buy Master Waltz's wrath, you should rest assured that I will not abandon you. Are you expecting it?... your rebellious plan."
"That's... Null and Dry also told me, but it's not rebellion, it's just a plan to acquire knowledge from Mid Eden and develop Borealis so that he can compete against Eclaria without relying on Mid Eden. I wonder why everyone misunderstands....."
Eve's plan was to acquire information from Mid Eden and use it to develop the town. This major renovation of the town was like creating an experimental field of soil to cultivate that information.... Every time Eve explains, all Sirius sisters, such as Zwei, thought Eve would steal information from Mid Eden. Well, it's no big mistake, but it's not as dangerous as they think.
