While Grisson and Grindiana were planning their next course of action, Ryoma returned to his room at the inn in the castle town.

“Phew, she was every bit as scary as the rumors say...” Ryoma sighed as he took a swig from the glass resting on the table in front of him. “No wonder they call her the Vixen of the North. Lupis doesn’t compare to her in the slightest. She’s a monster that woman.”

The shadow clinging to his expression made it clear just how much awe he felt at Grindiana Helnecharles. Laura had cooled the beer in his glass with thaumaturgy, and the cold drink served to gently chill the heat burning in his chest.

“But the talks themselves went smoothly, did they not?” Laura asked with a gentle smile, tipping the bottle into the glass after Ryoma slammed it against the table.

Ryoma didn’t know when exactly they found the time to do so, but apparently the Malfist sisters had gone out to town to buy new clothes. They’d already changed out of the sooty, filthy clothes they wore on the way to Memphis and were dressed like the local girls. They were ordinary clothes made of hemp, but they were easy to move in and still had something of a florid design.

Ryoma also noticed the aroma of roses wafting up from Laura. They’d likely bought some perfume as they were looking for clothes. They probably saw their personal grooming as a slave’s duty of sorts toward their master, or something to that effect.

“Yes, Captain Greed was quite elated and said it went well,” Sara exclaimed with innocent joy.

“I... guess,” Ryoma said, cracking a strained smile before taking another swig. True, from the twins’ perspective, the negotiations were a great success. An alliance was formed with Helnesgoula as its leader, after all.

“Or does something bother you? Do you think the agreement might end up being annulled?” Laura asked, noticing the shadow that had settled over her master’s face.

True, the agreement Ryoma made with Grindiana was only a verbal one for now. But even still, it was a verbal agreement between one leader of a country and another. Breaking this agreement would come with its share of consequences. Even with regards to just stopping O’ltormea’s invasion, no country would be able to easily turn their back on such a promise.

Rhoadseria and Xarooda didn’t have the military might to survive this situation, and so they never had the option of refusing the agreement to begin with. Myest had sufficient forces to go to war, but even if they were to refuse the alliance, it wouldn’t change much. In that case, the three other countries would simply form an alliance without them.

True, without Myest’s influence as a trade partner, the alliance’s profits would be smaller, but it wouldn’t influence things much in the long run. If Myest ended up refusing, some adjustments would have to be made in the agreement, but it was otherwise safe to say the treaty could not be revoked at this point.
