[Eon's POV: ]
"Haaa… so, besides a few nas, how much do you even know about the operation?"
She grumbled a little before starting this main talk, but thankfully, she had stopped drinking my special brew like it was so fucking booze in a village tavern.
It was a precious drink that she was the first person aside from my family mbers to have tasted it.
'It wasn't sothing I had in great quantity. There were only a handful of barrels left and so of them already were going to be used for certain purposes.
They weren't sothing she could just drink because she liked it!'
I wanted to shout and tell her now that she had emptied one entire bottle, that it was ti to stop drinking this thing, but under the circumstances, I wasn't in a position to do so just yet.
"Well, I know a little. Not much since what I know is just sothing, hmm… well, you can say I received a divine revelation that showed a little of what you were planning-"
"If you don't want to say it, then just don't say it. Don't spout that bullshit."
She looked at with an upset look and narrowed eyes.
The way her cheeks seed to be puffed like a little girl, that trap laid to misguide was sothing I did not like.
But who knows, she might just be upset for real. It was difficult to tell what she was showing and what was reality when facing her.
"Well… I did an what I say but, anyway. Let's say I only know the nas I had just ntioned, and how a few are a little differently targeted than the other."
"So, in short, you sohow know the map."
"Map?"
"Your acting isn't as good as your mother's boy, rember that."
"Map. Yes. Map. Perhaps we know about it."
She was smart and a difficult one to deal with with all that I had.
'She's a good example to remind there is a lot in this world that just doesn't make any sense.'
A mortal holding a position vital to the stability of the entire world or existence of divine beings that just roam among the mortals. There were things in this world that I still had no idea about.
"Hmmm. If you only know about the map, it isn't impossible to have you onboard. Though, I must warn you, any kind of external help from you or your family will only put you all in trouble.
We don't need that as the relationship between Us still has a long way to go in my opinion."
It was a war we were talking about and one that wasn't just fought with weapons and n, but actual war that could be played on different kinds of battlefields in various ways.
'It didn't an Lakr was going to march their soldiers to different countries and kill their n like those cultists did.'
It wasn't the only kind of war that was fought in this world.
"Rest assured, Lady Carolina. I have no intention of involving my family in this.
Them knowing about my part in this war is inevitable, however, they won't be involved with .
And I wouldn't be involved with you in any way either.
That's why-"
"You just want in as a 'supplier', yes I got that part. But, what exactly do you even want to supply?
And what exactly do you want from all this?"
Lakr wasn't a big country but it was rich, had actual powerful n, trained knights and war units, advanced technology that was beyond the reach of many other nations, and siege weapons better than anything else in this world.
'Even the empire and the strongest nations of other continents feared the [FalconKnight3].'
It was a weapon of mass destruction that Lakr had only used once in the entire history.
But its existence was known to all nations even to this day.
'Politics wasn't the only reason Lakr was a central binding point for many countries throughout this world.'
Its position was sothing that not even the empire and six other powers like the empire could threaten… it didn't an Lakr was invincible, of course, but it was just a peaceful nation.
It had clear policies and the rest of the countries accepted them.
'Even if that attack from the cultists might have weakened the position of this nation a little, even without Lady Carolina, this nation wouldn't fall even if all the surrounding countries attacked it simultaneously.'
And they weren't dumb enough to test Lakrk's military strength. Not when the [Lion of the battlefields] was still alive.
'That's why the surrounding lands are playing tricks right now.'
They were trying to secretly or accidentally or unknowingly doing a little things that was causing Lakr not much, but at doing so was giving them a good lot of resources.
They were practically stealing from their neighbours unlawfully.
And in the position they were in, Lakr couldn't just take this anymore… or they didn't want to just take it anymore.
"Well, let's just say I want a little recognition. As for what you can expect from this humble supplier…"
Taking out a simple looking diary, I placed it on the table before us.
"You know what? I should co visit the Countess along with the little ones."
"She would be happy to have you." With a warm smile on my face, I refilled her empty glass with more of my precious brew as she picked the book up.
We were going back to academy soon so we wouldn't be ho for a while again but they can certainly have their fun-
"What the fuck is this?!"
"…ouch."
The way she shouted would most certainly have created a sound wave if she was a mage or a knight or soone with special powers but, since she was not, that loud as hell voice only hurt my poor ears.
"You! What is the aning of this?!"
"What do you an by that, Miss Carolina-"
"This! I don't want any more bullshit from you! Just answer ! What are all these things?!"
That one single red diary-like notebook contained a little information and basic models of the things that I had created until now.
Things that weren't made for comrcial use but for the sole purpose to be used in a war.
"They are weapons, obviously."
"That's absurd!"
There were many types of wars in this world.
Cold wars, conventional wars, proxy wars, political warfare, wars attributed to religions, ethnicity, economics, or even ideologies.
That one book contained notes of all kinds of warfare tactics, weapons that could be used for different kinds of wars, scenarios, possibilities, counters, thods to control the flow of the entire war from any specific point, and there was even specific data on so past records that no one possessed.
'It was my personal diary, and one of the only properly organised ones.'
It was an invaluable treasure for the common world and for the people who did not know much about the divine and extraterrestrial warfare.
"How can you just hand sothing like this?!"
There were even blueprints and basic knowledge about weapons that could be used in conventional wars so she knew just from seeing those absurd looking but very practical things from the point of view of my previous world… the thing in her hand was no ordinary piece of literature.
"It would be better that you calm down for now, Lady Carolina. Let's talk, alright?"
There were more than one reason that I just showed her that notebook, but for now, the main purpose was to get what I wanted from her.
"So, what do you think? You could certainly use so of those things, right?"
"Anyone could, boy… anyone could."
She was flipping through the pages with a kind of fascinated look that I was seeing for the first ti on her.
'But seeing her scream and shout curses earlier was more surprising.'
She was a calm and collected woman, soone who knew very well just how much she was supposed to say and how well she had to say sothing for soone to receive it as sothing much more than what it was actually ant.
She was a professional before she was a 'lady' and the way she quickly got herself together just now showed her true nature.
"Boy oh boy… you would make one hell of a villain."
"Soone has said sothing similar to before, but I don't like the sound of it.
Villains, heroes, heroines, and characters. They are all good in fiction, but in reality, the narrator and their narrative are everything that really matters."
"You are funny as well. Haha, I envy your partner."
This was perhaps an achievent on its own if I say so myself.
Her words were like winds of change for this world and she was talking about being envious of my simple lovely fiancée.
I wanted to be proud at this mont, but the situation isn't the best to experience that kind of emotion.
"Alright then. I should consider myself a part of the ga, right?"
Those dumb bastards had pissed her off the sa way the dukes of north and west were pissing us off, or how the Atraxia was suffering because of so insignificant bastards that did not know their places.
"We will have to talk about the details in private though. I believe you have enough ti tonight? Along with enough of this great grape elixir-"
"Only one bottle. That's all I can spare tonight."
She ended up liking it a little too much, damnit!
Now even with the upper hand in this entire situation, I can't refuse her too much or else there would be so kind of 'reconsideration' from her part.
"One bottle, six people? Doesn't seem-"
"That's all I have though."
I just sold up from my place, bowed to her, and right after dismissing the barrier, I walked towards the stairs to greet my lovely Rein.
She seed in a cheerful mood, so it's just better to stay with her until our talk ti instead of bargaining with this person.
'I know for a fact she would get more bottles of this precious juice from sohow if I stay with her.'
It's much better to stay with soone who's practically allergic to it than soone who devoure it like it was nothing more than lake water!
