"Okay, the sweet girl I expect, but the guy with the stick up his butt I can't figure out being here."

❝or, I know, come have tea with me! Who needs Chrom.❞ Lacie is just pouting, she hasn't seen her king in days now with how busy he's been that she's settled herself with seeing Lissa in the meantime whenever she's had time in between her queenly duties and work to help Chrom with the paperwork.

"Muh--?" Lissa was surprised for a second. Knowing the queen-to-be, she is supposed to be busy at this time of the day (and if she had free time, it wouldn't be allocated for her but for Chrom.)

"Huh? What did he do this time?" wriggling her head out enough to talk to her sister-in-law, she pouted at the thought of Chrom neglecting this poor girl.

"I'll have a word with him! How dare he!? Wasn't he supposed to see to your care!? Ugh, I swear! Men!" but her eyes sparkled with a rare shine to hear Lacie's suggestion. "OOOOH!!! That's it! He can eat dust for all I care. Alright!" she slips from the hug to hold onto Lacie's hand, and with a little bow, she grins at her.

"It will be OUR girls time! And mister I-got-lots-of-paperwork-to-sign can drink his tea with Frederick! He can come begging us but we won't let him in, teehee~ Come on! Let's go! I'll ask Maribelle to prepare the best and tastiest and most delicious tea in the realm! Let's go!" mission bother Chrom for the day is on, baby! Let's see what he will do when he sees her wife enjoying her time without him ehehehe. Hopefully, that might hit a brick to his head and do something nice for her. Ugh... why does she has to do EVERYTHING for him, huh? What a dense man, honestly!

She doesn’t expect such a reply. Now she feels slightly embarrassed. Nunnally takes a sip of her wine. It’s mixed with water, but her guest doesn’t have to know it. She needs a moment to think. To decide what to do next. What to reaply.

The rain is getting heavier. The wind is getting stronger. As if the weather was warning her not to play the game. Another sip of her wine and Nunnally is sure she will play the game. She’ll lose; that's clear, but perhaps it is still worth to try.

“Oh no! Not at all. I am not getting visitors too often, here...” – she states the obvious. She expects him to realize this simple fact – “So, your company is more than appreciated.” – she puts the crystal glass away. It was still not the reply to his question. But is it only her imaginations or has the air actually got tense in the room? She shivers as she thinks about her father. Why that sudden thought? But it would be days before he’s back. So, for now it’s only her, her guest, Jasper, and the well-equipped mansion.

Nunnally tilts her head and smiles; she is observing the man. The she lets out a small laugh.

“Pretending that we don’t recognize what the other wants.” – she finally decides to give him an honest answer. Will he stay or will he go? He’ll stay. They all stay. He’s not the first one. But there is something about him that prevents her from thinking that he’ll not be the last one. She does want him to stay. Perhaps it will be different this time. No! She cannot hope for that. She did too many times and it has only lead to disappointment.

“How about the game of chess after we are finished with our meal? I could have our coffee served in the drawing room.” – she suggests; she doesn’t expect Jasper would decline her invitation. It’s possible but unlikely. It would have been impolite, even rude, for the kindness she has offered.

" --!?"

Zarina vc: My, you haven’t even topped me and asserted dominance once. Must be the dreams you’re having~ 

@lacedmagic​

Jasper hums.

Zarina vc: You’re the only one who gets to flaunt this fact, you know? I’m so glad my body heals so fast~

─「차해인」─  HUMANS, no matter how powerful they have become, no matter how hard they trained, would still remain humans and mortals. that was a thought that had been haunting her mind ever since that raid on JEJU ISLAND. it had been quite a while from the incident itself, the very day that MANKIND had been reminded how powerless they were against the real threat. all these dungeons cleared, the gates, the BOSSES being slain — does humanity really have a chance ?

                thoughts were YANKED back to present time, finding herself in front of a large gate that was about to open within a few minutes. shaking her head from unnecessary thoughts, the VICE-GUILD MASTER made her way towards the tall figure. despite it being the first time she had met the man, his appearance alone spoke enough of his status and identity.

                “ mister reid, it’s a pleasure to meet you. i’m cha hae-in, the vice-guild master of hunters guild. i shall be leading this raid. ” a hand placed upon her chest and a polite bow was offered, like a KNIGHT. all the agreement and transaction was between him and choi jong-in, however, she was informed that his company was to be sponsoring this raid, for some reasons unknown.
