Chapter 140
“Just how did you guys create such a mess in the three days of Rizzly’s absence?”
Rivelia, who had coht of the chaos
A mountain of shattered ceramics had been swept in one corner while the other was covered in soot, the
Cruether in place by old spilt honey Reisha and Kunette slept soundly a inside an airball Isaac was resting his eyes on his sofa instead of his bed Rivelia couldn’t even control her own torrent of scolding
“Take all this ! Now!”
Like the strictfroover, up and immediately cut off Kunette and Julia when they protested to sleep some !
“Kunette! What are you doing throwing all that onto the ground! Stop it, Reisha!”
Kunette, too annoyed to walk down the stairs with all the trash, instead threw them off the balcony Reisha was about to follow in her footsteps and start throwing the bottles over, only to be stopped just in time by Rivelia
Isaac quietly woke up froarette, only to be caught by Rivelia’s furious glare in theReisha Isaac i
“… Are you playing with me?”
Every syllable of Rivelia’s voice echoed a deep, boiling fury Isaac stretched his body as if he’d just woken up and sat up
“Yawn That was soet here?”
“Eeick! … Sigh I’ll get you a cup of tea once we’re done cleaning this place In the o wash yourself”
Rivelia seemed like she was about to wallop Isaac for his ih and turned her attention back to Kunette and Reisha
“Wow! You’re soto sunbaenim!”
“Isaac should clean too!”
Kunette and Reisha complained with emotional appeals to justice and fairness—which Rivelia’s deathly stare’s prouys beco?”
“…”
Rivelia had extinguished Kunette and Reisha’s protests in an instant Rivelia ordered the two to clean the roof while washi+ng Julia
“So why are you here?”
Isaac asked, and Rivelia glared momentarily at him as she washed Julia’s face
“The Lichtens have surrendered”
“Really? That took a while”
Isaac replied nonchalantly, which sharpened Rivelia’s stare Isaac could feel her stare poking hihed and looked at her, annoyed
“What do you want to say to me this tihtly spanked her toward Kunette and Reisha, ere busy acting like they were cleaning Rivelia then asked Isaac
“The mercenaries’ deaths Did you order it, Director?”
Isaac nodded at the question without a shred of hesitation
“I didn’t exactly tell theuess I did order it at the end of the day I merely told the h, I’m even more surprised that the mercenaries actually followed that order”
“H like ‘how could you do this,’ ‘that goes againstthose lines?”
Isaac cocked his head at the unexpected reaction, but Rivelia only looked back at him, even more confused
“To hold a sword in hand means one is deter one, mercenaries chose money over pride and honour—which is why I’m surprised they chose to die like that”
“Really? Well I guess you can call them true mercenaries then, because they did die for money”
“Because of money?”
“They are residents ofcare of their families As pillars of Rondart Barony, they’ll be provided 1000 Giga as coenerations That should be enough right? Plus, I’ll reedy leeches who coive them a bit of leniency if they coh New Port City did beco in the slums dwarfed those who didn’t But what if their families’ economic problems were suddenly wiped out, even at the cost of their own life?
Plus, the city would protect their families from any schemers and treat the any ill-teht It was no wonder many mercenaries volunteered to die
“Just to make sure, I never told theain? I can’t even re a very simple solution, so I left the work to him And he delivered, just as he proave his best atte his hands frouess it’s not a matter for me to bother with Before that, I have received news that your personal airshi+p has been coain, I was told that it was already at the cusp of co We will reveal the airshi+p in the New Years Festival”
“But when did you order a personal airshi+p?”
“I just decided to buy the Emperor’s airshi+p—the one that was put on hold”
“You mean the airshi+p our previous Emperor put into production?”
“Hm? You know it?”
“…”
Of course she did It was an urban legend that every agent of Central had heard of at least once
When conflict between the Directorate of Strategy and Surveillance intensified, the fight spread to relations between the Emperor and the non-humans of the Grand Council After the final straw, the Emperor announced his political delinquency from the Grand Council He decided to play tyrant—and the airshi+p was one of many that were put into production as a result
