「We also have reserves, so we should have enough for this next battle.」
Because of a scarcity of goods from high prices as of late, talismans are mainly used against spirit weapons. There are none who would use them to burn a letter like this.
Even if it were the Imperial family, such usage would cause a decline in finances, and ruin is what would await them.
Spitz’s is not a poor house, but neither is it rich. Spirit charms should be valuable to him.
Seeing her zealous subordinate, Bunadara lets out a sigh and puts on a serious face.
「It’s not that I’m just playing around here. Margrave Grinda’s territory is immediately before
us.」
「… Do you plan to invade?」
「Whether we battle or not depends on their mood… But afterwards, we wait for the 6th Princess. After convincing her to comply, we send her to Lord Brutar.」
「But Lord Burtar wishes for the death of the 6th Princess.」
「Do you not know what will happen if the life of the 6th Princess is taken?」
「… The emperor will be enraged, and if we are not careful, Lord Brutar will be beheaded,
yes?」
「She is the possessor of Laevateinn. Because it is such a rarity, the emperor surely will not forgive his son’s barbarism.」
「But if I disobey Lord Brutar’s order, I would be in danger.」
「The opinions of people change. If Lord Brutar’s calms himself, I’m sure he will not make the wrong decision.」
「Understood. Then, what will we do now?」
「First, shall we send a letter? As for the contents… Tell them, we wish for them to hand over the 6th Princess. This is an order from the commander of the 3rd Imperial army. If they do not acknowledge this, I am prepared to use force. I await an agreeable reply. Something to that effect please.」
After saying that, her gaze went down and she returned to her entertaining book.
Spitz could not help but open his eyes wide in response to such provocative words.
This is as if she were suggesting a war.
He hears that Margrave Grinda is a gentle person, and by no means belligerent.
He might have acknowledged this normally, but their target is the 6th Princess, who is also his niece.
Spitz closed the door to the guest room and let out a heavy sigh.
