Chapter 372: Movement Part 2 (1/2)
”Are you sure you want to do this, Agata?” The woman, who was none other than the pope's student Enrica, asked her best friend.
”Yes. I believe I'm the best candidate to go to Thersland.” She nodded as her hair turned red and her face got slightly fatter, toning down her beauty a little bit. ”I have prepared myself to do this.”
”But do you know how to find him?” Enrica asked.
”I have my way.”
”So, you plan to seduce him?” She smiled, teasing her.
”Nope.” Agata shook her head and turned, walking to the bed and using it as her chair. She raised four fingers. ”First of all, I doubt it can be done so easily and a person like him won't fall into tricks like this. Hence, I want to make a connection with him first… Probably as a friend. Everything can be built later with time.”
”Ho?” Enrica became serious as Agata continued.
”Secondly, the closest one to him in our tournament group is me. I know that this kind of relationship is not that big of a deal, but he will certainly give me some face. That's when I can start my own plans.
”The third reason is to handle his problem there. As you know that although he has promised to come to us, not many know this truth or it will become big news already, especially from those who get rejected while being unaware of this agreement the entire time. Even his teammates were far from him when we held the conversation, remember?”
”Certainly.” Enrica nodded. ”I guess you have your reasons. I can send several people to help you, considering you need to deal with Supreme Rank Experts… After all, I'm sure you want to give some warning to those who covet him, right?”
”It's fine. My family's bodyguards can handle it for me. For now, I need to get a second identity.”
”Wait, you are asking the wrong person if you want to do it.” Enrica raised her hands instinctively. ”Don't ask me for a counterfeit…”
”Haha.” Agata chuckled. ”I can do it by myself. I just want you to know I can only go in a week or so.”
”Okay. In that case, I can inform my teacher so that he can talk with our Prime Minister about this matter.” Enrica nodded, knowing why she talked to her regarding this matter. However, she continued with an unsure tone. ”Then what is the fourth reason… You are raising four fingers, right?”
The blindfolded Enrica obviously couldn't see it as she was also still unsure about the vision in her mind.
Agata couldn't help but smile as she said the fourth reason. ”What other reason could I have?”
”So, you are interested in him.” Enrica sighed. ”Well, I might have teased you this whole time, but I know that he is not interested in you, you know. I'm just afraid that you will get hurt after this.”
Agata shook her head and put on a genuine smile. ”All I know are two things. The chance will only become zero if I don't pursue him. After all, it's rare to see someone like him, so I can't afford to give up without even doing anything. The second thing is when I shall give up… Rica, I know when to act and when to give up. Please believe in me.”
Enrica let out a long sigh. ”Fine, fine. You can do whatever you want. I will just lend you my shoulder if you come to me crying later.”
