The Branded Female Fencer

Boys, Part 16 - The Price of Desire

"(I hope so. That is no longer our private property. Without that, I don't know what caused this commotion)"

"(And you're bad guys, you guys. I didn't expect us to take the treasures of our country for our own personal gain. What are you thinking?

Each of them laughs at the words Obles said.

"(Kid, what do you think of this country?

"(It's over, this country. It's a fucking sweep)"

"(We agree. That's why we decided to abandon this country)"

"(So shall we make the property of the country our own? Dumb bastard)"

"(You are a pest to the bastard who owes you the bounty of that bastard. Turn your position around)"

Did Obles shut up about the word, or some silence flows. It was the Chancellor's mentis who opened his mouth again.

"(It is a matter of selfishness, Obres. You are alive to us. I've made enough concessions for you in the next deal. Without his words, you wouldn't even be allowed to stand here, and if there was a single error in our assets deposited with you. The fate of your younger brothers will be more tragic than the fish that will be swallowed in the cooking place)"

"(... I know that. The money we made this time, we don't have a year's trouble just eating it all together. With this, you don't have to work dirt to start a new business. I just don't have to thank you guys for that)"

"(Yes. We're lots of students, but we're always in a better position. You just have to take a special victory attitude that you won't even forget about. And if your business is going to be good for us, don't be stingy with us. This is what I like about you. You're a good driver, and you're a good one, depending on your attitude. as long as you are noble)"

"(The discriminators. Is that all you want to say)"

"(There's more. about the next plan)"

Obles seems to have gone home because he doesn't like being on the spot much longer, but Mentis stopped him from doing so. Looks like he still has something to say.

"(We will be exiled. Let me give you that guide)"

"(What? That's why I can do that -)"

"(I can. Ask the person behind you)"

"(... you can't put that guy on the table. If you all go to exile, there will always be suspicious people)"

"(It's your job to do something about it. Make it work, as usual. Rather, that's the value of your use. If you fail... you know what I mean?

Lisa can tell by the air alone that each person is laughing with a distorted face. That would be a humiliating sight for Obres, who is witnessing that look. But Obles made me laugh the other way. Maybe that was a little dry laugh.

"(Ha ha)"

"(What's wrong?

"(No, I thought you were either greedy)"

Obles shook it off and showed it to me. His eyes were invisible to Lisa, but he looked at the Chancellors with the utmost pity, as he grinned at the Mentis and the others. Naturally, the mentis change from an attitude of spare time to something even more intimidating. It was precisely the reaction of a noble nobleman. That's unnecessarily weird for Obres.

"(fooling us, or the younger bitch kid)"

"(You guys - that's really pathetic)"

Obles laughed at them sparingly.

"(Sure, I'm a lowlife kid. I don't learn like you do, and I have no connection between money and power. But I'm the one out there who knows everything I can. You guys are paralyzed. I am too used to wielding power and threatening people to get the wrong idea what I can do on my own)"

"(What do you mean?

"(Here's the thing)"

At the same time that Obles said so, the nobles' escorts shone their swords at them in unison. Alasnov, Femiton and Mentis, who do not know what happened and see their own escorts in unimaginable ways. Alasnov and Femiton were skewered through the heart and quickly collapsed, but Mentis remained firmly conscious as to whether he had not been pierced through the heart. The eye is set on him to ask Obres.

Towards Mentis crawling to the ground, Obles slowly told him. I can see mercy in those eyes no different.

"(You mistook the power of your own escort for your own. When my own escort listened completely to me, he blindly believed me. This is the result. Hate and they were on this side from the start)"

"(Nah... dude)"

"(I don't know that either. I'm just a pawn, so you don't have to know more than you need to. If you try to find out, something bad always happens. I only faithfully performed the role I was given. I negotiated with you, commanded the bandits, and helped my brothers. That's enough for me. If you didn't want anything extra, I wouldn't have had to kill you here. I should have advised you in the first negotiations. If there's any trouble with the person behind me, he says it's time for a negotiated breakdown. Couldn't you have thought that it meant the same to us that we were going to die?

"(You won't hear me anymore, but one last thought of myself. Don't just soak up the good things you're doing while you keep us people fed, motherfucker. Suitable death.)"

That's all Obles said, spitting at Mentis crawling to the ground, leaving the spot behind. Behind him follows those who were the subordinates of the nobles. When they left the room, each left early enough in a separate direction.

When Lisa sensed what had happened that far, she urged Lunatica to put on after Obres. At the same time, he sent Utility to call for Alphilis, and he often conceived.

"(It's a surprising event, I've come across a scene where heavy towns in one country are assassinated. This country is finally at an end. Even though there are circumstances, the Chancellor will be killed by children in the Glades. It seems that the Chancellor is only a certain number of people, and the vessel of the king of this land shall be known. Wouldn't this country die less than a year?

But more concerned than the fate of this country is the person behind Obres. I can roughly imagine, but I want proof. Luna, you're counting on me. Now it's time for you) "

Lisa entrusted Renatica with a feeling of prayer. And when I gently split myself into the room through the window, I observed the room again. I don't see anything on the spot but the three bodies, and nothing is going to prove it. Naturally, but when this happens, we still have to rely on Renatica.

Lisa opened the door to the room and went outside when she sensed someone outside the room. There was an alphilis standing there. She also came out of the room, perceiving that the meeting had already ended.

"Lisa."

"Alfi, let's go. It's not a good idea to stay here long. I suggest you leave this place with Elsa and Eliza"

"If that's what Lisa is. Hey, what's the mastermind?"

"Can you imagine Alfi, too?

"If only I could imagine. I didn't really want to think about it."

Lisa doesn't know how Alphilis did and imagined who was behind Obles, but it wasn't a very bright story for Lisa. Obles' position was his old self if one step wrong, and for Lisa, Obles has plenty of room for sympathy.

That's why I know, how risky Obles is. To work in the hands and feet of someone who could easily assassinate a prime minister of a single country. Does Obres not imagine that it will give birth to a bad ending?

"It has nothing to do with Lisa... but I don't think she's human resources."

"What's the other HR?

"No, here's the thing... more than that, Alfie. Isn't it kind of noisy out there?

Lisa raised her whole body's guard against the change that she'd been hearing all along. Her sensors try to catch an anomaly on this scene.

"Lisa, isn't someone making a scene?

"No, this is... it's not just a fuss. Instead of screaming, I heard the disconnect."

Lisa's words indicated that an uninvited person had visited this hotel.
