The Branded Female Fencer
War and Peace, Part 44 - Before Continental Peace Conference (7) -
"What, you still know"
"Well, if that name doesn't come up, it would be pretty 'blurry'"
"Have you come blurry? That was a vulgar word, Princess."
"I'm good at it, you used to tell me."
Dryan laughed at one thing and continued the conversation.
"Who is it, Shane Sereno? I've been exploring it, but there are still limits to collecting information in the human world."
"How far do you know?"
"A suddenly emerged female politician. Formerly a daughter of a local lord, Mayer also has experience in the field of study, but does not particularly achieve such excellence as this. After returning to his own territory, he will be assisted by his father, the lord, but this again has no noticeable activity.
He did not appear on the table for several years and seemed to lie ill, but suddenly showed his talent enough to say that since his father began acting as a lord's deputy about the hospital bed. It quickly devoured the central government, and since assuming the post of Minister of Foreign Affairs, it has been working with countries again, and so on. "
"That's enough information. If I were to add..."
Muse was a little worried about how far to go to say it, but decided to trust Dryan. We need company in the conference room. It's powerful, too, of the cutter. I was confident that I would take the lead in the meeting on my own, but I thought that Dryan would stay with me and not lose money. There is still prejudice against the beast man, but dryan, there is no politician to insult that person first.
"You're originally a cheerful personality, like reading a book in a room quietly rather than going outside. The failure to achieve outstanding results in Mayer would also be due to the fact that he was too nervous to make a statement in the field of discussion, rather than the grades in seating. In politicians, the temperament of pulling ideas is nothing but negative elements.
Mayer has also told me that he was mentally ill, in the name of assisting his father after his return. That's that leopard weird. How innovative events have been, or are they someone else? "
"Someone else! I see. I didn't think about that possibility."
"It's also about possibilities. The problem is that she has influence that she can't ignore, and she's bitterly criticizing Romansland and Arnelia for not being able to deter it. There are still some enthusiastic supporters, though I'm sure the Hordes are still static. There's going to be a mess at the conference."
"Which one of you is it? Shane, do you support Sereno?
Muse gave a troubled look. Thoughtful, some might be confused by that scorching trick, but Dryan didn't do that, nor was Muse willing to use such a boring color trick against Dryan.
"I don't endorse any particular individual. We'll be in tune with what we think is preferable depending on the circumstances."
"What, are you going to tell me you're an opportunist?
"I hope you're careful what you say, I'm just saying you need to read the big picture. However, you must not be able to look past Romansland's behavior, but the question will be where to let the situation down. Assuming it is an all-out war, how much damage will it do? Ideally, we should avoid any more wars and let Romansland compensate for the desirability of an end."
"You think that's how it ends?
"If what you seek is food or a certain right, it will end. But..."
Muse considered one possibility. Once taught by his mentor, Aldrius, at the time a possibility he denied. What I found to be starting to think about the existential significance of Almas and others as an exchanger.
"If their purpose is the war itself, it won't end"
"War itself? You're an arms dealer, and you think a country moves for that reason?
"If the decent are the exchangers. But if there's a black magician behind it, anything can happen."
"That evidence, are you grabbing something?
Dryan rode himself out one. Apparently, that means this story is the real deal.
"Is that the point?
"Exactly. Hate and my spies didn't grab anything. Orc spies are too conspicuous in Romansland. But I was wondering if it was."
"Right - I haven't got any definite evidence, but I'm thinking about it if it helps me pursue Romansland"
"Hmm? What's that?
Muse took control of Dryan in a hurry.
"I still don't even know where the meeting is going. I hope we can talk again after the first day."
"Fine. Then we'll cooperate as much as we can. At least cooperate during this meeting. Is that the kind of relationship you want?
"Oh? As far as I'm concerned, I don't mind if we hang out forever."
"Sure, but if you could loosen the tariffs a little bit, it would be possible."
"And this is a different story."
"Tough hands"
That's what Dryan said, and when he drank up the wine in his hand, he enjoyed the usual colloquial conversation with Muse.
