The Branded Female Fencer

War and Peace, Part 328 - Continental Peace Conference Day 9, AM ② -

"(Alexandria and I don't see a single Shane Sereno spy, do I? That it's just a problem that you can't clean up just because you're good. We have to pay attention to their trends. When there is no alphilis, it's not a liability issue in case anything happens to Ray fans)"

"Lunatica"

Renatica returns her focus to the present with Ray Fan's voice. In front of me was Dryan and Muse.

The two have spoken to Ray fans with a strange face.

"Princess Rayfan, may I have a moment?"

"Of course."

"We have a private room. That way."

The three of us and Lunatica travel to a private room at the mercy of the muse. There were other representatives of the countries in the private room.

Rayfan asks.

"What about them?

"They are the people who share their opinions with us at this meeting."

I'm not with you.

Yeah, and dryan snorts. Essentially in this meeting Muse has taken a position to condemn Arnelia.

The late response of the Temple Knights and the surrounding Knights on the matter, even if the Demon King appears everywhere. Lack of support for conflict zones. Coordinated route with the western part of the continent. He also pointed to delays in investigating and covering fires and earthquakes that occurred everywhere. And the poor cooperation with the sorcery society.

Many were in tune with these opinions of the Muse, and the Virgin dressed as Miranda and Miriazal from the nations were named to the balls and chased in response. Muse had the aim of revealing Arnelia's exclusive rights and assigning them to ourselves and our countries, even in part. In fact, to deal with Arnelia alone, the structure of society was becoming too complex and inconvenient. Besides, we also want to get rid of the countries' dependence on Arnelia. Whatever you do, Arnelia. You can't count on it, you can't want independence forever.

Many countries thus uttered their demands on Arnelia, but there were other repercussions than thoughts, not to mention whether they were reasonable. Muse thinks that this kind of dissatisfaction is not quality but number. He thought that the more countries dissatisfied with Arnelia, the more Arnelia's advantage would be lost.

But there was a miscalculation. It is murder in the field, during a peace conference. Muse wanted to shake Arnelia's advantage and sharpen his interests, but nothing wants Arnelia to overthrow herself. If Arnelia were to disappear now, the countries that depend on it in the economy and in defence would not be able to retain its form.

Muse has concerns. That is Shane Sereno's way. Muse has pointed out about Arnelia and adduced further evidence to push the tide, all of which were more familiar than Muse. And sometimes the pursuit was so tough that I suspected it was too much. Whatever the Virgin was, Miranda, the Archbishop, was so freshly shut up.

There were occasions in which Shane Sereno's arguments continued, while the slightest clamour was also raging. As Dryan looked sinister and Diore looked stunned, one of the Alphilis watched it plainly. What does Alphilis know? I couldn't help but wonder if Alphilis knew something about Shane Sereno's weakness when he said he had 'failed', even trying to find out about Shane Sereno himself.

That's why I summoned Ray fans here. It was unexpected that there was no alphilis there, but I had no choice. The fear is that Arnelia's position will be even worse from here. At least with the trusted lords, it seemed necessary to move from here on to Arnelia's defense. I thought we needed to keep Ray Fan and Dry in there too.

When Muse got to her seat, she started talking in a slightly stronger tone.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you seem to be aligned. There's nothing else you've come together for, because I felt I needed to keep your will and foothold together here."

"What is footprint, like?

"It's an attitude to Arnelia from here."

Muse shared her thoughts. That so far we have taken a position to criticize Arnelia, but now it is apparently not such an occasion. Perhaps Arnelia will be held accountable, but the fact that blaming Arnelia any more could be a co-defeat rather than of benefit to anyone.

The Horsemen were nodding at the expression of the muse, but Dryan continued to sit flashly and Ray fans were still just quietly listening.

"... by virtue of the above, we think it would be wise not to take a position at least to condemn Arnelia. If you agree, raise your hand."

Many lords raised their hands to the expression of the Muse. But a few people, including Dreyan and Ray fans, don't raise their hands.

Muse asked with a sigh.

"Don't you agree with the Beast King?

"I won't say that. But I wonder if we can just consider the strength and weakness of things and keep pace with those who don't have a consistent claim to doctrine."

And it came to pass, that when Dryan looked down, those who lifted up their hands turned away from their eyes, as if they were evil. And then Ray Fan speaks.

"I have a few questions for His Highness the Muse"

"Go ahead."

"First of all, is there a force to blame Arnelia over this period? The main forces at this meeting are us and Shane Sereno. And then there's Romansland, and the Demonic Society, but the rest are individualistic countries that remain neutral. Unless Shane Sereno blames Arnelia, the others will be flushed.

And one thing. The important thing throughout this period is not Arnelia's pursuit of responsibility, but the question of where the fools put the Hordes in their hands. Shane Sereno is smart. I know it's obvious to everyone that your pursuit is ahead of you, but do you know anything about it?

Muse did not answer Rayfan's question instantly. Yes, Muse is doing some research on Shane Sereno. There is also some certainty as to how Shane Sereno will move after this. I risked a lot of money and human losses to find out. Shane, how Sereno moves and how he should use it - it's a bet, but there are measures.

Ray fans trying to stand in front of it. I guess there is no certainty yet, but it was still this little girl who would get in the way, and Muse was sending praise and curse inside at the same time.
