>>5393544Borrowing some energy with the spirit of the nearby atmosphere, you make sure to relax after expelling so much of your magic by spreading it across the estate, you remember that you share a union with a man-bear that has a lot more political knowledge than you, and seeing his opinion of the overall aristocrats of Vritannis.
<span class="mu-i">"Weaklings, all of them! They shall be the first in line to suffer after we are liberated from the God Hand! How do they fail to realize that power is not hereditary, but meant to be obtained by your own hands!?"
"Lay it off with the insults, Barnham. I want to know of your opinion."
"And I just gave it to you, they're all weaklings! Even the likes of you or your woman could obliterate them in terms of strength."</span>
"Right, but would you be alright with an alliance between the faction of Ys and Ilos?"
"Let the bastard fight his own war! If he is so keen on taking women to compensate for his irrelevance, he might as well go after Charlotte, much like Ganishka is doing."
"You've... actually made a good proposition, perhaps I should have thought of that before."
"It is an unlikely scenario Vlad, I derived it from hyperbole exactly because it is impossible to happen, especially now that Zodd and Griffith managed to escort her out of the capital. I failed to realize that the bastard coordinated his attack against the Kushan Emperor with mine. I was so busy fighting his projection and basking in my increased powers after taking a bite out of that cotton apostle that I did not notice Zodd flying over the full moon."
"Wait, so you managed to absorb Ganishka's powers?"
"Not a lot of it, but enough for me to debilitate him. Heard from rumors on my way back that he's unable to walk. His best means of fighting is hiding and projecting his proxy form."
"So Ilos is finally closing the gap against Midland and The Empire..."
"The king's remains lie within my stomach. I had already considered ourselves independents since then. I'll leave the bureaucratic part to your end. Maybe they will take our independence seriously once you prevent the invasion."
"So you know about the Kushan meaning to invade Vritannis?"
"Of course. I'm the one cornering Ganishka there."
"What were you thinking? He will destroy everyone at the ball."
"Don't you worry. The gap between Zodd and I has widened into my favor. I'll meet you in time."
