[Allen collected his back pay, got his few possesions together, and got on his horse.]
[Surely...Surely Rillanne would come to her senses, once he was gone...]
[It had to mean something that Allen himself, of all people, had told her that she was doing the wrong thing, and had even left her to drive the point across.]
[...It did, right?]
[....................Right?]
[...And anyway, it wasn't like the Ministers or Great Nobles would ever let her do anything really insane, like just invading the Green Kingdom or something - Of that, he was pretty sure, anyway. One had to be thankful for small favors at least, he supposed...]
[And in the meanwhile...]
[Rin had wiped her eyes, and was now staring at the windows. Rain had begun to fall from the darkened skies...]
[And then, there was a cough behind her.]
...My lady! Oh, there you were...
[The Minister of War smiled at her, his hands claps in front of him.]
- Have you thought about what I have said, the last time we met?
[And then he leaned closer to her, and whispered -]
- I give you my word, Milady - We can destroy the Green Kingdom's army utterly in less the two months, and I will personally make sure it happens in a timely fashion.
[And then, he smiled at her.]
Wouldn't it be wonderful to not have to worry about the Greens on our doorstep, ever again? And once we had added the Green territories to our lands - Why, we'll actually have a seaport! A fully functional one, too!
[And then, he looked at the rain, too.]
...Oh, please, Milady - Just give me the word! There wouldn't even be any need to kill off all the Green Kingdom Royals, quite the contrary, in fact - Things would work out wonderfully if you could just make one of the Green Princes your Royal Consort, for example...
