The headquarters of the Alliance of Free Cities is present in the eastern district, only a short distance from the centre of the capital, Milanir.

In the office present on that third floor, the magnificent man with his hair flowing behind him was facing the paperwork at hand with a rugged look on his face.

"Dear Feliam. May I have a moment, please?

"What the hell, Secretary Kale? The clerk's over, and after this, I'm supposed to have dinner with my family?

Seeing an elderly man entering the office after a knock, Feliam utters an unwelcome voice.

But Kale, the secretary, was prewoven that the Lord he served would not be pleased to bring his work into this hour. Therefore, I return the words without any particular wind of concern.

"Yes, but I thought I'd give it to you as soon as possible."

"Give it to you? What?"

"This way."

Kale offers a single open envelope against Feliam with a suspicious look on his face.

Feliam, who saw it, inadvertently received it with a slight reluctance when she expected more extra work and more time to return home.

"So, who's this from?

"It's that guy."

In response to an inquiry from Feliam, Kale just answers that one word.

As soon as he did, Feliam deepened the crease between his eyebrows.

"The man?... No way!?"

With the back of the envelope in his eyes, Feliam opens his eyes to see or deny the name written there.

And immediately, he ran his gaze toward Kale.

"Yes, it's from that ace"

"Shit, now the Zenigeva merchant from the Konik Chamber of Commerce is back"

When he remembers the face of the Demon Stone Merchant from Filament, Feliam accidentally pounds his tongue.

Understanding his mood like that, Kale explained the situation to him.

"It seems so. It was placed on my desk at some point while I was just sitting there and absent."

"... Probably because of that little woman"

A small brunette woman who, along with a demonic merchant, had twice shown herself.

Knowing its abilities, Feliam thus lightly breaks down the culprit who left this letter.

"Yes, I think so, too. Anyway, the problem is the contents. Please confirm immediately."

While nodding heavily at Feliam's views, Kale immediately turns to his party leader and urges him to confirm the contents.

Feliam then retrieved one letter that was in the envelope as prompted and read out its contents, which were too short.

"Take a friend and I'll be right over there. I'm glad you're waiting for a moment...... so. You're not gonna come here right now?

"Because this letter was delivered earlier, you're probably going to"

"Hmm..."

That's what he says, and when he sneezes the letter round, he throws it in the trash. And with his arms in front of his chest, he began to gauge in his brain the Lord's purpose of the letter.

Kale, on the other hand, decides to leave everything to the leader of the party in front of him regarding the case with the Lord of this letter, and thinks of something else himself.

That's a metaphor. Whether the opponent is that woman, the fact that she was easily broken into this headquarters. Based on that, it was a review of the security system.

Suddenly a guard soldier sounds from outside the room as the two people in the room advance their thoughts and begin to haunt them.

"Master Feliam, if you'll excuse me. At your doorstep, a merchant named Ace Crosser has brought many soldiers with him."

"Soldier...... you say?

Feliam thought that the man was bound to come here.

However, it is completely out of his understanding that the Demon Stone Merchant has brought in soldiers. Unexpectedly, therefore, he turned outside and listened back, with a voice that could not hide his confusion.

"Yes, I'm soldiers with a rhindle crest on my chest, and I'm like a regular soldier in his country..."

"... what do you think, secretary"

Feliam, wrinkled between her eyebrows, asks Kale in front of her for the idea.

Kale then presented only a general view, either because it was unexpected as well.

"Is it Ace and Rhindle? That's a strange combination."

"Oh. Why would a Demon Stone Merchant from Filament show up here with a soldier from the Rhindle..."

That's what I said, and Feliam interrupts the words.

That's how just a few silences covered the place, and Kale opened his mouth towards Feliam.

"But in any case, if that man has already arrived, there will be no reason to dare ignore him. Of course, we're going to keep Feliam's family waiting."

"I had to. Originally I'm used to my wife's novels. Fine, call Ace here."

As soon as the words were emanating from the indoors, the guard waiting in the hallway hurriedly replies.

"Ha, right away"

The moment the words were uttered indoors, the sound of rushing down the hallway echoed around.

"Now the secretary. Again, what do you think is the purpose of his visit?

Feliam, who thought earlier that we were putting each other's silence on that reflection, asks Kale to show his thoughts.

However, Kale, who was thinking about the security system, did not have the right answer and tried to escape the scene by mouthing a view based on past events.

"... I used to take a trip here under the pretext of selling the demonic stones of Filament. But at this time, it's probably not the same purpose."

"Oh, I'm not the president of this country already. If so, his purpose is to..."

"Excuse me. I have brought you Lord Ace Crosser."

The voice of an earlier guard echoed again from outside the room as Feliam approached the troubled but conceivable possibility.

As soon as possible, the two people in the room face each other.

And as Feliam nodded one, he spoke out toward the outside of the room.

"That was faster than I thought. All right, let's go."

When the voice was uttered, the door to the room slowly opened.

And a man with one blonde hair and a mask shows up in front of both of them.

"Hey, former president. Looks as good as ever, above all."

Until that voice was uttered, Feliam wondered if the man in front of her was just a trick.

But when he hears that familiar voice, and makes his gaze hard, he asks the blonde man in an uncomfortable tone.

"Ace...... what is that hair and mask?

"Ha, actually, there was a little situation. When you're in business, you buy a lot of resentment."

With that mouth, the man known as Ace removes the domino mask that was covering his upper body of the face.

With the face hidden under his mask in his eyes, Feliam dared laugh with his nose at the man in front of him when he was convinced there that he was once again the demon stone merchant he knew.

"Hmm, a bad merchant."

"Ha, that's hard to deny. But in terms of resentment, why don't you buy some?

"It's natural for politicians to buy resentment. resentment, jealousy, ridicule. You can't be a politician in this country if you don't feel like taking it all by yourself."

Asked by the Demon Stone Merchant, Feliam speaks clearly of his own beliefs.

When the man known as Ace felt it preferably, he nodded one thing and spoke of his own inner heart.

"Not at all. But despite the seizure of power, I'm glad you're the leader of the party."

"Is that ironic?

"No, I mean it."

Just outside the heart, the man spreads his hands to the left and right.

Feliam then uttered the words in a tone as if to be foolish, after slightly losing his gaze.

"... no one just wanted to pick up chestnuts in the fire. There's no other reason."

"I see… but it must also be true that there are no other people besides you who can bring the Allies together"

While understanding that Feliam's statement indicates one end of the fact, the man called Ace speaks of another fact.

Hearing it, Feliam exhaled a small sigh, as well as redirected that gaze towards the man in front of her.

"Well, I wonder. So, what's it like today?

"Oh, I was. I almost forgot the point."

The man with that mouth puts his right hand to his head. But as if he noticed something, he kept his hands down.

Meanwhile, with his eyes on such an unintelligible trick, Feliam gives a slightly surprising look. But as soon as I regained my mind, I exposed my discomfort with what the man in front of me said.

"I am deliberately delaying my group with my wife and children, and I am giving you time to do so. You don't have that."

"Ha, sorry. I've been forgetting a lot lately. Actually, it's this visit, but there's someone I'd like you to meet, depending on who I take with me."

"Someone I want you to meet...... you say?

Hearing unexpected remarks, Feliam shows slight confusion.

But when the man in front of him smiled slightly, he went straight to him and uttered words.

"Yeah. I'm gonna need you to wait outside the room for a moment, why don't you call me?

"He's the one you're bringing in. I don't care if he's a jerk... fine."

"Ha, thank you. Well, I was wondering if you could come in."

Turning back to the door of the room, when the man says so slightly louder, the entrance to the room is opened again. And from there, a slightly dull blonde young man showed up.

"Hmm?"

With that look on his face, Feliam finds himself slightly uncomfortable.

A neat outing, clearly out of tune with the merchant in front of you. And a supplied elegance that is visible and understandable.

They were a clear stimulus to something blurry in the corner of memory.

"Then let me introduce you to each other while you cross paths. This is Feliam Gruzenpark, leader of the Alliance of Free Cities, and this young man is my friend Kayla."

"Dear Kayla...? Ace, no way is this one!?"

Reports say he came with a large number of Rhindle soldiers.

Feliam, who evokes it, throws a sharp voice at the man with the blonde wig on him once in a while.

Meanwhile, Kyle gave a bewildered look when he realized Ein had been called in by a strange name.

"Ace?"

"Ha, I told you before. Before going to the Rhindle, he said he was in Kisletin for a little while. There's a little bit of a situation, that's the name I used then. For now, it's okay with me."

With a bitter smile, Ein Gotch, who made him make such an excuse, dares to cut the subject once there. Then he turned to Feliam, who showed surprise, and he turned his gaze again.

"Well, Master Feliam. Apparently you've noticed, let me introduce you again. This is my friend here, but he's a good young man who came to this Miranill to attend a Western conference. It's called Kayla von Reindle. Well, you know, my friends, so I'm really glad you're getting along."

When Ain said so, he turned to Feliam in front of him and gave him a nymphomaniacal grin.
