***

Marie was in a panic.

Aaaaaah! I can’t believe I let Loic steal Noelle while my brother was away. He’s gonna have my head for this, I just know it!

She had never dreamed that Loic would pull such a bold move as to snatch Noelle away in broad daylight. It would have been difficult for her to put up much resistance against him, given the circumstances.

Marie cradled her head in her hands and groaned.

“You’re like an endless supply of entertainment, Rie. I absolutely adore you,” said Cleare.

“Yeah, what an honor,” Marie grumbled sarcastically. “Anyway, why didn’t you inform me of this sooner?! If I had known Loic was going to come storming in, I would have grabbed Noelle and made a run for it!”

“I’m sure he sent people down to the harbor to head us off in case we tried that. I did notice an increase in security ships keeping an eye on the Licorne lately. But who could have guessed that was the first step in his maniacal plan.”

“If you knew that much, you should have told me! If my brother is furious with me, are you going to kowtow and apologize too? That’s the key question here!”

“Nice self-preservation instinct! But to be honest, I think we would have had no choice but to concede to Loic even if Master had been here.”

“Huh?”

Cleare had been eavesdropping on the conversation between Loic and Noelle. “I’m not just sitting around, y’know. I am collecting info. It’s true they chose to strike because Master wasn’t here, but either way, they would have made a move eventually.”

“So I was right! They did come here because my brother’s gone!”

“Uh, no, that’s not quite it. Loic’s target was Elle, but the Great Houses have their own aims here. From the looks of it, Barielle is trying to take down Rault.”

“What?” Marie wrinkled her forehead, confused by the sudden switch to Alzerian politics.

“Oh, I love that look on your face—like you’re utterly lost! Okay, well, to dumb it down, Alzer is experiencing political upheaval, which would still have happened even if Master hadn’t left. That said, Loic sure is impressive. He used himself and his men as hostages to coerce Elle.”

When Cleare relayed how Loic had threatened to have every last Alzerian die fighting for Noelle, Marie’s expression soured.

“That’s not the love interest I know from the game.” The Loic who Marie knew was far more charming. This one was downright rotten to the core.

“Master would be repulsed by his attitude as well. Which, Rie, is precisely why you don’t have to worry. In fact, if we really think about it, isn’t this exactly how the scenario was supposed to go? As long as Elle gets with Loic, it’s happily ever after, right? Well, for everyone except her, that is.”

Marie lowered her gaze. “But I want her to be happy too.”

“That’s asking for the impossible. Given our present situation, everyone else’s happiness is contingent on her sacrifice.”

As Marie recalled all the time she’d spent with Noelle, she felt even more miserable for being so powerless.
