Given that I've just joined an Alliance recently, it's unusually fast. Or is it too soon?
"Well, I don't think it's strange that you're in S-rank anymore. The Alliance is an old organization. Patience."
No, no, no, no.
I think it's too fast for that, too.
"Well then, take this. It's a C-Rank Adventurer guild card."
When you receive a shiny card on your torso, you say, "Whoa!" she applauded. Thankfully, everyone seems happy.
"Haha... C already? I think I'll catch up soon."
Even the bitter smile of the Yu 'an doesn't seem to dislike it.
"Well, you were stronger than me from the beginning. Get past me."
"No... I'm sorry."
I bow my head to the senior adventurers and put my guild card in my pocket.
I am aware that defeating former swordsman Saint Leon McBa has made me stronger than their adventurers.
But that doesn't make me complacent.
The moment it happens, it crashes instantly. Like that Leon McBa.
And when the applause came to an end, I was finally cut off from Alto.
A member of the Arseus Relief Party who was captured. About how to deal with it.
"Let's be straightforward. They just received a letter from the Royal Army at the headquarters of King's Landing. I suppose the contents should be as imagined."
Altro took out the memo with a serious expression and read it out with a slightly lower voice.
"- First of all, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the Kingdom for its capture of terrorist organizations. I would also like to express my sincere admiration for your work. Finally, I would like to entrust my country with securing the prisoners of the Arseus Salvation Party. The formation of this party is the responsibility of our country (...), so I feel very sorry for forcing it on you....."
As soon as he folded the memo, Alto looked at us and said.
― ― Well, to sum up, it's not like this.
I see.
I predicted it, but it was so obvious.
Besides, it hasn't been that long since we took down House Aldo. Too soon to know the information.
As you can imagine, the enemy must be in quite a hurry.
"Mr. Altro. So... what does the Alliance do?
"Hmm. Alios, that's a good question."
Altro chuckled and said with his arms tied.
"For the time being, the guild took the form of a rejection. I don't have a duty to obey my country."
"Is that a refusal... you're a lot stronger?"
Alto is right, the Alliance is based in another neutral country in the first place.
The strength is that many people, regardless of nationality, come together and are not trapped at all in political grievances.
That's why the Kingdom can't take any forcible action against the Alliance's rejection. That is why I have been making far-fetched requests in letters.
"But... that's not enough to make me feel safe."
Princess Leimira murmured.
"There's probably Niisama Raffer over there. I don't know what kind of hand you're going to use."
"Niisama Rayfa... That First Prince....."
Kaya strengthens her expression.
"You sure can't read at all... I don't think you're smart..."
"Yeah, I think so."
This is speculation, but it is likely Rafer's plan to drive his father Leon into a crash.
After that duel, Ray was given a long vacation. This will make it easier to move in the Imperial Castle.
Face to face, she regrets her sister-in-law's vacation and manipulates the political situation with admiration.
Leon and Dudley were used for that. To that First Prince.
"Nh...?
I narrowed my eyes. [M]
--Coming.
There are a lot of intruders.
"Arios....?
When she noticed how I was, Ray leaned her neck. [M]
Let's get out of here, guys.
I got up in a hurry and looked over at them. [M]
"Looks like she came quickly. Uninvited guests from the Royal Army."
