”……I see I have certainly seen your resolve That being the case, I will tell you……Alf, that document, if you will”
”Understood”
Alf, as standing in wait next to me, handed me the document
”……this is proof that the Baskar Ducal House of your country has been conducting hu”
”Wh……!”
”If I a is prohibited even within your country……isof that correct?”
”Of course! Just why in the world would they do such a thing……”
His hands treh the docu occurring was recorded down
Maurice's bloodshot eyes stared at it so intently, his gaze could burn a hole through the paper Eventually, perhaps because he had finished reading it, his eyes departed froh
And then, he made a wry smile
”……as expected The circumstances of our country have already been laid completely bare by your capable subordinates”
He spat that out in a rather crude manner, but that just went to sho disturbed Maurice had becoards to this matter, some of the troublesome folks of our country are involved”

Perhaps Maurice was also infected by ave a brief sloomy expression
”……it seems that I also must resolve myself”
When he ht dwelled within his eyes
”The resolve to give Duke Sligar and Duke Baskar their funeral rites……”
Maurice sive you my thanks, Romel-dono My heart has decided I will put the inforood use……in the future, I hope to continue building a friendly relationshi+p with you”
I unhesitatingly took the hand of Maurice as he said that
”……I feel the same, Maurice-dono And, if possible, I hope to build a similar relationshi+p that I have with you on the national level as well”
”Hou……that is interesting If it's you, then you're already thinking of a course of action for the future, are you not? I would love to hear about that ina firression treaty that I had considered
