Chapter IV: The Resolution Might Be That Way

“Long time no see, Leticia MacCready. Has it been two years now?” The woman’s voice was cold and seemed to carry an amount of hostility.

Leticia stepped back when she heard it, responding, “Sounds about right, Irgitte.”

“It’s Irgitte Sweetheart. I have a surname now, just like you. My assets may not amount to much, but... I wouldn’t take me lightly if I were you.” Irgitte raised her chin haughtily and Leticia took another step back.

“I wouldn’t do that... Right. You went to the court. With Instructor Maria, wasn’t it? How’s she been?”

“You mean to say I was only allowed in because I was with her, don’t you?”

“No... not at all,” Leticia said wearily.

“I’m sure you’ve already guessed,” the man with the shaved head interjected. He still held his saber lazily pointed down at the ground, and as his voice was pointed in the same direction, it was somewhat hard to hear. “We were dispatched here from the Thirteen Apostles on a mission. As Irgitte doesn’t seem inclined to introduce you to us, allow me to ask instead: Are you the Leticia MacCready?”

Irgitte raised her voice to cut off any potential reply from Leticia. Her displeasure was obvious to anyone. “I was about to do just that, Seek—Master Seek, I mean.”

“We’re in a hurry, if you’d forgotten.”

“I know that.” With an exaggerated flourish that was clearly sardonic in nature, Irgitte indicated this man and the other younger one—younger than himself, Orphen guessed—and introduced them. “Leticia. For the time being, this is our temporary, just-for-now leader, Master Seek. Seek Marrisk. I don’t need to explain about the School in the capital, do I? He’s an instructor there. The simple one is Kakorkist Isthan. His student.”

“Simple is best, wouldn’t you say, sweetheart?”

“Some would say that,” Irgitte said coldly, pointing at Leticia this time. “Seek, Kakorkist. She’s Leticia MacCready. From the Tower of Fangs.”

That was all Irgitte said, as if that sufficed for an introduction. And it probably did, because neither Seek nor Kakorkist asked any further questions.

Then, there was silence. Several seconds of it. Orphen waited with his mouth shut, but Irgitte didn’t say anything more. Leticia just blinked, expression blank. As the silence stretched on, the members of the Thirteen Apostles started to exchange uneasy glances.

“Leticia.” Finally Irgitte spoke up, an awkward smile on her face. “That’s it for our introductions. Could you tell us about him?” She indicated Orphen with her eyes.

“Huh?” he couldn’t help muttering.

Leticia sighed deeply. “I had a feeling...” She pressed a hand to her eyes like she was tired and shook her head.

Left behind, Irgitte got a sour look in her eyes. “What’s that supposed to mean?”

Leticia pointed languidly at Orphen. “I’m not surprised you don’t recognize him... Believe it or not, this is Krylancelo.”

“Why do I feel like I’m getting the same treatment as Mr. Simple?” Orphen murmured, eyes narrowed.

The next silence was even longer than the first. Orphen heard a strange sound, like some sort of broken whistle, before he realized that Irgitte had been sucking air in for the whole period of quiet.
