Soft-Hearted

Staring at the appearance of Commander Nicklaus who was sitting opposite him, King Edric let out a sigh.

"What is this, Nicklaus? You can just say that you are sick. You don't have to force yourself to come here with that condition of yours."

"I'm getting better now, Your Majesty," Nicklaus Elan said to the King. "I received a letter from the border and I think I should report it to you right away."

King Edric gave a thought and said, "General Diego watch over the border, right? Did something happen?"

"No, Your Majesty. It's the opposite," Nicklaus Elan replied. "Our border conflict with Lezaria is getting better and it seems like King Davis suddenly wants peace with us. Though it's a good thing, I think it's strange. He is still the same King who spent years stirring up conflict on the border, Your Majesty. Why would he change his mind out of the blue?"
