So, could you introduce me?" Ariel was laughing. In the dark, I see a friendly smile. "To the person that Rudeus-sama occasionally contacts...... Orsted-sama." "What?" That. What do you mean. This is getting complicated. Did Orsted's name just come out? Wasn’t it about Luke? Was this her real intention? ”It’s not too much of a surprise, is it? After all, Rudeus-sama is the subordinate of Orsted-sama." "......" "Also, I would like to ascertain 『which side』Orsted belongs to." Is Orsted on Ariel’s side? Or is he on Grabell’s side? Is that what you mean? Damn, I don’t want to have such a roundabout conversation. What happened to the Ariel-sama who’s always easy to talk to?
"...... Even if you ascertain it, what do you intent to do about it?" "If he is on 『this side』, then no matter how terrifying he is, I plan to endure it." "Endure it, you say?" "It is necessary for the royal family to get along with people even if they are unpleasant if it will be beneficial. Therefore, it will probably be okay." I see, so thats how it is. Though I wonder if it will be that simple with Orsted’s curse. "What if he belongs to『that side』?" "Then I will bring him to my side." Ariel said that brimming with confidence. You are really amazing. "He’s nearby, isn’t he...... ? Orsted-sama or someone who can contact him.” However, I have some reservations about this. I’m not sure if this is something that I can decide at my discretion. Even if Ariel intends to endure it, Orsted’s curse is too strong. He gets recognized as an enemy just by being looked at. If she says she'll endure it, but then when she actually meets him
