"Ah, it turns out that the perfect mercenary still has a weakness, yes."
"I'm not a perfect mercenary. And who gave me that name? So ridiculous. If you've met Lacuna, I can guarantee they won't stick the label on me."
And again, I've stopped being a mercenary a long time ago. My job is now the leader of a black market organization as well as the head of Bana'an intelligence.
"Yes, if you wake up, he can recognize me. Ah, before you misunderstand, he can only recognize my presence. He can't recognize much less remember the existence of others like you."
That's some serious love right there. I mean, even the Emir couldn't recognize his own sister, Yurika, when wearing a silica mask. So, Rina was able to recognize her sister just from the air of existence, arguably, was an extraordinary form of affection.
I go back to drinking this bottle of wine. I'm not a liquor drinker, so I can't comment on the taste. Simply put, it tastes like grape juice that tastes very concentrated.
"If you're really Tera, does this mean your mother really wants to subvert Rina?"
Tera's view down. With a half-empty look, he nodded.
"Gin, ever since your whereabouts made headlines, especially the battle royale and reverse cinderella, mom separated us. Brother was sent to Bana'an, and I was sent to Mariander. My mission is just like big brother, looking for another incompetent existence."
"Mariander, have you met Etana?"
Tera shook her head, "I wasn't assigned to meet Etana. I was just assigned to monitor his every move and report to mom directly."
"If you're both tasked with gathering information, why don't you just meet and then run away? Why bother carrying out the task your disobedient mother gave you."
"You're kidding me, right?"
Tera saw me fiercely, while I just smiled a little.
Yes, of course they can't meet. I suspect there must be agents or other parties assigned to guard their movements. For example, if Tera does something that is out of order, Queen Amana just kills Rina, and vice versa. With this threat, Queen Amana makes sure Rina and Tera comply.
"Tera, looking at the information you gave me, I concluded that the information you were given was different, right? Rina was informed that you were under arrest. I'm guessing you've got information that an agent is ready to take Rina's life at any time."
Tera nodded.
"So, did you also know that he went with a criminal who disguised himself as you?"
Tera nodded.
"Your mother definitely doesn't want you to be weird. By giving her complete information, she signaled that all of Rina was really in her grasp."
"Yes, your guess is right, Gin. The only time I could meet my sister was a few days ago when she was thrown into a dungeon, after she came home from Bana'an. However, the debauchery turned out to be just a charade. Just to convince my brother that I'm really under arrest."
Actually, I have a lot of questions. Why did Queen Amana give different information to Rina and Tera. Why would he bother giving false information if Tera was detained? I really can't understand the way Queen Amana thought.
"So, what was your purpose in coming here? I thought you couldn't see Rina."
"I want to make a request. Please, protect my brother."
"...."
"Right now, at least, there are 7 agents and assassins trying to kill me. Maybe, right now, your men are dealing with them."
"Dealing with them .. You made a deal with Ibla?"
Tera nodded.
I can't believe this man's words just like that. I pulled out my candybar phone and called Ibla.
[Yes, he really is Tera. He made a deal with me. So, the Agade defense is not ugly. I let him meet you on purpose. Yes, I have a lot of this business. Agents and assassins are after him more than expected.]
Before I could say anything, Ibla explained and hung up. Under normal circumstances, I may have protested because Ibla's manners were gone. However, hearing his somewhat hasty voice, I could conclude he was quite a hassle. So, I'll let it go.
"Rina is the only way for you not to become the new King of Kish kingdom."
"The new kish?"
"Yes. The new kish. What do you think my mother's goal is to wage war on the entire continent?"
I was silent, giving no answer.
"The real mother's goal was to reunite the entire kingdom, and one country, on the Ziggurat continent in one flag."
"I guess your mom's looking for incompetents. I was thinking, maybe, he wanted to drag another incompetent to the surface."
"That too. But I also have other plans. After Nina loses, which kingdom do you think will be the most feared?"
I thought for a moment. Today, five kingdoms and one country, arguably, have almost the same power. However, after Nina was destroyed, and Mariander lost, the country that would be considered to have the strongest military on the Ziggurat continent was Bana'an. Wh why? Because Bana'an lives are recorded to have a control weapon.
While there are other governments that may also have control over them, they are still free. After the war ended, the kingdom of Bana'an would definitely get the most reparations and territory because of the initial participants in this war. Mariander will focus on establishing a republic. And other kingdoms also find it difficult to ask for more reparations because they come later.
The moment it arrived, it was very likely that the Dominican Republic, the Kingdom of Agrab, and the Kingdom of Nippur were working together to attack Bana'an. The problem is, will Bana'an let the three work together? Most likely not. Before this happens, Bana'an might attack Agrab first.
In other words, a prolonged war would appear on the Ziggurat continent. This war, of course, will lead to an economic crisis. War participants who see the threat of an economic crisis will offer a conciliatory solution. One of the peace solutions that is still often practiced is marriage between figures.
With my position having already brought the princesses of Mariander and Bana'an, it is very likely that they will push the princess of his kingdom to me. They can't find a new person who can hook two princesses at once, right? In other words, if left unchecked, in a few more years I can be sure I am the King of the Ziggurat continent.
Although there were interventions from outside the continent, the chances of them succeeding were small. They are on another continent. If you only expect a fleet, it is difficult to be able to intervene meaningfully. And again, if truly crowned King, those countries would definitely think I was an easy target.
Damnit damnit! In this case, the Emir's plan will actually push me to become the King of the Ziggurat continent! The Emir's plan could be a weapon of eating sir!
On the other hand, I was able to protect Rina, arguing that her life was threatened due to the split of the royal family. Unlike the Bana'an whose system of government was semi-monarchic, the Nina kingdom still implemented a fully feudal system. One nobleman is not under another nobleman. The only difference is the area and the number of troops they have.
If anyone supported, Rina could become the leader of those nobles. Simply put, Rina led a rebellion.
