"Now?" Fatty's expression was awkward: "Isn't this bad?"
Margaret blushed, realizing the ambiguity in her words, and Fatty's insufferable expression along with Sechter's surprised look made her want to find a hole to hide in.
However, with her intelligence, it's impossible for her not to know Fatty's usual tricks of joking around. His seemingly carefree words could divert the topic at a crucial moment.
"I mean, I need support from you and the bandit army." Margaret lightly bit her lip; she wouldn't let Fatty play dumb and get away with it: "The Hastings family needs a loyal ally. And the Fei Alliance needs stability and unity."
"We join forces," Fatty blinked, looking puzzled, and said: "Leefer will behave?"
"Leefer won't openly start a civil war." Margaret clarified decisively: "His greatest enemy is Sobel, and his foundation is the Fei Alliance. So, no matter what, he won't start a full-scale civil war. The power struggle only happens in secret."
