Chapter 15 (1/2)
The talk continues
CSWH Chapter 15: The General and Prime Minister 2
”……just why have you gone that far to seek my support?”
”Well, of course, 90 of it is due to ht now, you're someone that this country can't afford to lose You have popularity ast the masses, and your very existence serves as a deterrent to other countries In reality, the negotiations with the Country of Toent smoothly because you were there……that's why it would be troublesoraces”
”The country, is it?”
”That's right”
”……I understand your power I ask this while knowing that, but just what sort of assistance can you give me? It may be rude ofpower”
”That's true……I'd probably even lose to your daughter too”
At Romel's words, Gazelle stiffened
Though he had been given countless surprises for a while now, he still hadn't gotten used to it
Just how much could he (Romel) predict?
”Surely you jest My daughter has a weak constitution, and siht”
”Even though that weakly daughter easily mowed down a bunch of bandits recently?”
Roaze filled with certainty
Gazelle quickly noticed that, and let out a single sigh
”Just for reference but……how did you know? At the very least, the outside story is thatas her guard took care of it”
”The first reason is the distance fro that should be sent far ahead of oneself If you were to have a single guard acting separately as a decoy, then doing it that ould be more efficient However, the location of the decoy was somewhere where they'd just barely be able to make it to the tea party if they went at their fastest speed Would you really o on a forced ht”
”……and the second?”
”……intuition”
Hearing Rohed for the first time since his arrival
”That answer's quite unlike you”
”I think so too Just……I saith my own eyes, and felt it It was just that That alone was capable of convincing me”
”Even though hter has never even left the territory?”
”I attended your wife's funeral, right?”
”……ahh……”
”You know, it gaveon the future While despairing at the irrationality of reality, her strength that didn't yield to it……a flame dwelled within those eyes”
As Gazelle listened to Romel's words, his eyes narrowed
It was the same
The sas that he had once felt from her
”Though I don't know if she's got talent in the hter would fall ill 'because' of the loss of her mother She'd kick aside the sickness, and run past it If she were a man, I'd want to have her train under me”
