Volume 1 – Showers Chapter 69: Lobbying (1)
"Lone wolf" Dietas said to Ms. Stella one night:
"Stella, it's been so long, I didn't even know you were by my side all the time."
"Huh?"
"Alas... I don't know if you can understand what I'm saying, and to what extent? Forget it, I'll just assume that you can understand it! ”
"Whew~~"
"Stella, I decided to forget the past, but you know — of course, I know now, I'm just making a fool of myself. Yes, that's right, Stella, and from that day on, I never let go of the hatred in my heart. I've figured it out now, there's no need to suppress my heart, is there? ”
"Stella, only by confronting the darkness in our hearts can we usher in a brighter future, right?"
"Woo~"
"We now have a great opportunity. Yes, the Elephant Summoner - Brand. Miss Sindra says that Mr. Michael of the Zammir Territory knows a lot of valuable information about Brand, and that we can take revenge. However, Miss Sindra and her party are not yet able to return to Zanmir. ”
"Miss Sindra and her party are currently on a top-secret mission at the Eagle's Nest, actually, I suspect it may have something to do with the war, but more, I can't guess - Miss Sindra is very tight-mouthed, and she doesn't want to say more. But it's none of my business, I just care about Brand, of course, I know it comes at a price, but even if I had to go to war, I think I'd gladly go. ”
"War, there's nothing to be afraid of—I have nothing to lose but you. It's not like we haven't been to war, have we? Besides, if Miss Sindra speaks, I am more than willing to be at her disposal, after all, Miss Sindra has told you about it, and for that reason I am not the kind of person who receives favors without knowing anything in return. ”
"Whew!"
"Stella, as soon as Miss Sindra's affair at the Eagle's Nest is over, we will follow them to the Zambir Territory to meet with Advisor Donawan. This time we should be able to get a lot of valuable information, which will greatly reduce the difficulty of our revenge. Hopefully, we can find Bland in Zamir - we've spent enough time in Griffon's Territory to be found here, and Bland's hideout is now only in Zammir, Tangnus, and the Terror Mountains. In addition, Advisor Donawan, as a powerful wizard, may be able to help us 'become one'. ”

"So, sir. Do you want to see Mrs. Grein? The old lady would have come up with a more conservative strategy—compared to my strategy and that of Old General Babud. Violetta lowered her head and gently scratched the table with her sharp, slender fingers, as if she had been given some interesting toy—which made her focused.
"Of course, Violeta, of course. You, Funa, and Babud are my most important courtiers, my most loyal men, and my wisest minds. If Babud is a supreme blade, Funa is my strongest shield. Griffin Hart Sr. said.
"Oh, what an interesting analogy, my lord, then, what do you compare me to a blade and a shield?" Violeta's fingers stopped swiping on the table, and she looked up and looked at the old man across the table with a smile.
Old Griffinhardt smacked his lips and said cautiously, "Oh, Violeta, oh." Are you playing a trick on me? ”
"Why, my lord, I just have doubts in my heart." Violetta will not admit it.
Old Griffinhardt could not be fooled by this, so he said slowly: "If Babud is a blade and Funa is a shield, then Violetta is an armor." ”
"Armor, what do you say, my lord?" Violetta asked, confused.
Old Griffinhardt was also helpless about Violeta's inquiry, and Violetta looked like 'I won't give up easily if I don't make it clear today'.
"The blade helps me kill the enemy, the shield protects against the attack, and the armor protects my body. Violeta, your balance is always able to turn the tide in the most difficult and unfavorable situations for the Griffon. ”
Violetta was satisfied, and immediately smiled and said, "Where, my lord, you are really too famous." It has always been the old lady Greon who has turned the tide, but I would like to warn you that the old general Babud naturally has nothing to say, but there are a few young children under his command who have been jumping up and down cheerfully lately. ”
"Of course I know, Violeta, I'm going to bang and bang them. By the way, don't you really think about Stanford? To be honest, I think you're a good match. ”
"Alas... How to say, my lord, Stanford, his knowledge is still very respectable and charming, but compared to Michael, Stanford has a less lively personality and interest. My lord, I am a woman first and a witch second. Women want a lot, and witches ask for more. With all due respect, my lord, Stanford can give a woman all the satisfaction, however, if the subject becomes a witch, then Stanford is only 'excellent'. ”
"'Excellent' only? Violeta, oh, Violeta. What an insatiable little clever ghost you are! ”
"How can this be called insatiable? My lord. ”
"Isn't that insatiable? Violeta. You can't even look down on 'excellent', then your requirements are too high, you know, I always hope that your bloodline can stay. If you have a son, I will open my great-granddaughters to your son's choice, and if you have a daughter, she will be the griffon's wife. ”
"Oh, sir! Don't you know, I've always been interested in 'treasures'. Stanford is a wonderful man, I don't deny that. Actually, if Stanford hadn't been so baffled and devoted himself to his research, and had been able to pursue me with more thought, then I think, after the test, I would have said yes. ”
"So you agreed? Violeta? Old Griffin Hart said excitedly.
"If you get Stanford to change his personality." Violetta said nonchalantly.
"I will." The owner of the Eagle's Nest swears by it.
"So, let's wait and see?" Violetta raised an eyebrow, got up from her seat, and walked to the door.
"Let's wait and see! By the way, please come in, Violeta. Griffin Hart Sr. said.
"Of course! Of course! My lord, I will leave you and the old lady a little more time. ”
"You're naughty again, Violeta, and honestly, you sometimes look like you're only 8 years old, you know?" The old man complained.
"Haha! My lord! I'm not naughty! Then again, don't think I don't know, that's what you and Old General Babud and Old Lady Grey and Stanford said about the child! However, I believe that with the number of your children, we will not be able to divide several of them! Violetta was no longer in the room, only her cheerful echo in the hallway.
