The Branded Female Fencer
War and Peace, Part 297 - Conference Day 9, Morning 8 -
"We're only talking about possibilities. But I have an interest in working with Shane Sereno now. Of course, it's not because of the credit. Therefore, there is no point in breaking the status quo."
"No..."
"Don't look so blue, woman. I wonder if I'd be willing to work with you guys later. What are the benefits you can show us?"
The capital tightened its mind more to Swendle's inquiry. I pulled the conversation so far from where it was possible that you wouldn't listen to me. Up to this point it is a success. Later, whether we can get Swendre's help.
The capital is on a mission ready to die if it fails. But not to be distracted from what he feared, he preached his interest to Swendle in one breath.
"Of course you have the advantage of working with us. The drawback of Alexandria is that everything depends too much on Diore. Which means it's impossible to respond to operations from both sides."
"In other words?"
"If you march to Alexandria, we'll be ready to attack from the east coast."
Swendle's mouth broke on that word in the capital. And when I hit him on the knee, he replied, unusual and sunny.
"Fine. I have accepted the terms."
"Then..."
"I said we could form an alliance. You ready for some writing?
"Yes. Here."
The capital took the writing out of his nostalgia. There Swendle gently ripped his thumb belly with his teeth, pressing his thumbprint. The writing was spearheaded by the name of Puritanical White Fun, but again, they were as good as Swendle had done his eyes, and the contents were only finished at first reading, and the writing was closed.
The capital had its eyes more rounded by its thoughtfulness, but it did not dare to imitate it, and received the writing without saying anything.
"See you later for more meetings, etc. -"
"Are we going to do this via you?
"Yes, I'm the only person who can move so deeply and without anyone noticing me. Is there an inconvenience?
"No, come on. But before you go back, recover the blast you planted around the tent. If it explodes with some kind of clap, it's noisy."
"This is-"
The capital grinned shyly, but Orlowarge stirred at this. It is a great woman to set all that up without us inside or the perimeter guards noticing. Besides, if the negotiations weren't going well, they were going to blow this place up for themselves. Being a horrible woman, I couldn't help but think of Orloage.
And just before the capital tried to leave, Swendle asked again.
"Hey, woman."
"What is it?
"Who's your real husband? Are you kidding me?
"I have long been a squire of Kiyojo Shino. I pledge my allegiance to the Demon Society, but that's all."
Swendle looked to gauge the eyes of the capital often, but eventually he laughed grumpy with his nose, and the capital left with humility.
Orlowarge opened his mouth after reports that the capital had left the formation completely.
"You've been a livered daughter for a long time. I can't believe I'm negotiating with Master Swendle."
"Remember, Orlowarge. Those are the eyes of the ready. Oh, that kind of deal is the most alarming. Covenants were meant to end me before they were built, probably."
"Huh? No way. That bold."
"No, I definitely meant to do that at first. Worst of all, if it didn't work out, I would have thought about ending my life and ours, but I looked straight at me and changed my mind. I realized as soon as possible that there was nothing I could do with my power and switched to persuasion. The scary thing is that we already had measures in place to do that.
That thing is moving by its own will. It doesn't matter who the Lord is or what, I know best that I am not different from my Lord. So to speak, he is also a woman of the king's qualities. The Lord who makes it serve is the most terrifying.
Unless you know who that true Lord is, you'd better set it up for the detour. I don't even know what I'm after. "
"Aim. Are you from the Enchantress Society?
Swendle laughed mockingly at Orlowarge for answering the confusion.
"It belongs to all the East. Apparently, the people on this continent are still more honest, right?
Swendle fell asleep in bed with pleasure as he slanted his neck against Orloage.
