At the same time, in the meeting hall of the Ajahan emperor, Jill waved to Sheimer goodbye before walking in the opposite direction. Her thoughts were still all over the place, but she was starting to get a better understanding of what was currently going on in this world.
"These guys didn't bend their own beliefs very easily..."
"The Demon Empire and holy empire has been at war since the beginning of the shattering, who would have thought..."
Sigh...
"At least I got along with the King of the Xyldian Union and the representative of the De'Farlon household..."
"Although I don't think the De'Farlons are worth making an alliance with, since the bastard that represented them seemed to lose himself in my appearance, it annoys me to even think about it!" She angrily thought.
"But the Emperor of Ajahan didn't seem to be interested in anything outside of his own land that didn't really benefit his empire, so the merchant families' deals kept getting rejected mercilessly. I feel bad for them."
"Kelio Nafahn was his name, right?"
"Maybe I should find another way to get a good relationship between our household and him." Jill thought to herself as she was walking the hallway to the outside before running into a group of people in a wide open area that all seemed to be watching something.
??
"What are they looking at..."
!?
Jill saw a face she immediately recognised across the screen, leaving her speechless for a few seconds.
"Clad!?"
"What the hell is he doing there!?"
"So that's the name of the guy?" The woman next to her says as Jill turns her head to see a face she has recently seen.
"Lo Davon, what are you doing here?" She asks the elf.
"Watching this fight go on, and you?"
"I was walking around the place, but I thought you were with your queen."
"Well..she went to talk to the emperor."
"I see, well, at least you can sit here and watch this unfold with me."
"...Sure"
Meanwhile, Clad parried multiple attacks from Jonan as he swung at him with every swing being stronger than the last. He started to become fatigued. Jonan, seeing this, takes the opportunity to swing at his neck, which Clad barely blocks.
"Was expecting more from a member of a sword clan..."
As Jonan went for a thrust, Clad rapidly parried his blade and slashed his chest, scaring his armor.
"Now that I take a good look at you, you look eerily similar to my mother."
