Nieve — Mages' Guild

Fran cutely tilted her head as Serena handed Anne the letter. Retrieving goods for a royal princess wasn't what the Servant she would be doing today, yet here they were, sent off to do a simple errand. Still, if it meant getting an audience with the ruler, it'll be done. Even quicker as Lewa had joined them, the mysterious girl they brought in tow turning out to be a fairy. Something that intrigued the berserker as they group walked toward their destination. Did the girl being a Fae had something to do with the dark slime creatures they fought back then?

A question for another time, it would seem.

Nieve — Suspicious Shop

Soon enough, the group arrived at the shop...

...Though, things wouldn't be so simple as retrieving goods.

"I can smell blood."

"Blood? I thought this city-place was safe? Was there some kind of accident...?"

"If it was an accident, someone should have noticed by now. Ugh... This already reeks of a trap."

"Then...I'll...lead.", spoke up Fran, her mace already manifested and shouldered as laid on Anne's arm, indicating to the space knight to let the Servant lead as they stepped through the threshold and into the shop.

"First of all, I wanna apologize for not directly aiding you all in combat. The students of the Heavenly Strike technique are very familiar with us, so they'd know how to deal with us if they were sure we were here. And secondly...We'd like to thank you for dealing with the students. It was... bloodier than we'd like, but we'll take it. You see, while the Heavenly Strike technique drove our ancestors from this island, we were raised to respect that technique and hold it sacred. Thus, we could not sit idly by while the students of the technique dishonor the move by slaughtering the very people the technique was invented to protect. But we could not intervene directly. Students of the Heavenly Strike are especially trained against Raijus. It would have ended badly, even if we survived. Fortunately, a ragtag taskforce with their cute and handsome sponsor were around and were more than enough to take back the technique from the wicked!"

"Er...Yeah, sure. We figured we spare Shizuyama a whole heap of trouble if we took care of this now. I'm just glad we finally wrapped this. Though...", Kerry responded, somewhat distracted as she watched Eula break away from the main group, wandering off alone. Part of her wanted to follow the automaton but thought better of it. The robotic mamono made several life-changing decisions today so it was probably best to leave her be for a bit.

"H-Hold on, Takeshi!"

Hearing those words, Kerry snapped her toward Lili to see the fairy place herself between Dinah and a very displeased Takeshi.

It was hard to figure out why the young heir was in such a mood...and frankly, the hornet didn't care.

Before Takeshi took another step, Kerry quickly buzzed over and planted herself in front him at arm's length, a defiant glare displaying on her face.

"Lili's right, Takeshi.", spoke the mercenary in a measured tone, her wings buzzing as display of telling the young man to back off. "Dinah came back and helped turn the tide in our favor. That's all that matters, so I suggest you drop whatever problems you have with her fleeing earlier. Shit happened. Move on."

"To think, I accepted this offer with no preconditions of my own and you chose not to reply to my request. If I wasn't so generous, I might have reconsidered!"

Unseen due to her bangs, Fran rolled her eyes at Remilia's statement. Ever since the start of this particular adventure, the vampire was unintentionally trying her damnedest at making Nieve's upper echelon of hierarchy not give them the time of day, let alone listen to the information the trio brought. Thankfully, the efforts of the berserker and Anne ensured they weren't immediately kicked out and blacklisted.

"Um, I apologize. I must have distracted her Highness at the wrong moment, so that she missed your obnoxious demands—

"Pffft."

That wasn't a slip of the tongue.

I mean, your request. Anyway, I'm sure everyone will hear of your magnanimity once you succeed at the Princess's, uh, important mission."

Fran could tell Anne was reaching the limit of her tolerance to Remilia's bratty behavior and, honestly, who would blame her? The Servant herself was about pick up the little aristocrat again....and maybe give her a spanking if that's what it took for her to behave.

"Stand down, you mongrels! Stand down or this little sprite gets it!"

...Shit.

The curse echoed in her mind as Kerry leveled a heated glare at the lone Varjan, Mort held tightly in her hand as she stared her opponent down.

Okay. I can't make a move from here. Even with the wind boosting me, he'll have time to react and kill Lili. So maybe...

The hornet glanced over to Eula, looking the automaton in the eye. A silent exchange being had before the mercenary turned her gaze back to the Iron Grinder.

"Alright, bro. Take it easy. You win.", she began, easing out of her combative stance and even putting a hand up in surrender. Look. I'll even drop my spear."

True to her word, Kerry would move Mort off to her side and, indeed, release her grip on the spear and letting the weapon fall to the ground...

Midway through its descent, however...

SNAP!

With a snap of her fingers, a small pocket of air popped at the blunt end of Mort, jettisoning the spear toward the Iron Grinder's arm at a speed the Varjan couldn't react to in time!

"EULA!"

"At least, that would be the case if we spoke with regards to charity. I do not know of your circumstances with that merchant caravan you claim to have arrived with, but if you would be willing to aid me as assistants I might be able to figure something out."

"Princess, I do believe that is called embezzlement—"

"I'm not embezzling anything! I'd be giving them legitimate tasks and paying them accordingly! Ahem. Well, there you have it, then. Of course, you're free to refuse; I'm not crazy enough to strongarm you into helping, and I won't make you do anything too crazy... Probably. So how about it?"

And there it was, the request for assistants, but really it was free labor. Fran pouted in a huff. She didn't like it, but she understood that this was a necessary evil if were to make any make progress in Nieve.

"Indeed, Her Highness speaks wisdom, Ambassador, fufufu~ Yes, we accept with great honors! Now, shall we depart to the castle at once?"

U-Uh! Ah!, the berserker protested, snapping her head to the little vampire with an, due to her bangs, unseen glare. She can't just make a group decision by herself like that! And did she really think that this was enough to gain an audience with the capital's ruling monarchy!?

"It's a fair offer, though if we're being legitimately hired then I'd prefer an agreement in writing. You're okay with it too, Fran?"

"...Yes.", Fran replied to Anne, sighing with resignation.

Sher didn't like it...but if it means getting things done around here, she can tolerate it.

"We can certainly stay for however long as you'd like, Your Highness! And all of us are capable warriors in our own right, so it'll certainly be in our mutual best interest if we remain here and ready to act against these assailants."

“Lady Remilia is right, of course. We’ll need to stay here long enough to help deal with the threat we’ve been warning you about. However… I made a promise back in Aventon that we would protect the people there. If we end up in Nieve for some time, I’m worried about what might happen to the town. While of course I won’t abandon the capital either, it would do a lot for my peace of mind if you could see to Aventon’s protection.”

"Uh. Uh!", Fran muttered in agreement, concurring with her companions with a nod of her head.

"Just stick close to me, alright? I won't let them do anything to hurt you."

Due to Fran's bangs, Anne was unable to see the look of surprise in the berserker's eyes upon hearing those words. Wasn't it the other way around? Still, to hear the futuristic swordsmen, who initially eyed her with suspicion and mistrust, say she now has her back was unexpected...

...but so very welcome.

"Ah!", Fran replied with a genuine smile as the trio made their way their next destination.

Nieve — Mages' Guild

Out of all the possibilities Fran thought of when meeting a member of Nieve's royal court, this was definitely not one. Certainly, not in the form of a red headed woman coming out of a smoking room where there was a recent explosion. A curious introduction, that's for sure.

"It's my utmost pleasure to meet you, Your Highness, I am Lady Remilia of House Scarlet, here from distant lands, one of the people your ambassador spoke of."

"Anne Mayer. I'm a Knight currently in Lady Remilia's service."

"Fran. Body...guard...for...Lady...Remi...lia.", Fran chimed in, following Anne's lead in pretending to be in service to their vampire companion.

"Uuuuuugh...", muttered Fran, now feeling a tad nervous. She...had a history of tests being done on her. Almost all of them were not...pleasant. Still, if it meant having good standing and gaining cooperation from the ruler of Nieve, then the berserker can tolerate some tests being done on her...

...So long as they don't mess with her mind. She does not want to go through that again.

At least Remilia had said the first agreeable statement in this entire endeavor.

"However! I won't stand idly by either as after all, evil must not be allowed to fester. These... 'Raven Heralds' and their wicked wings shall be clipped, and we can only accomplish that together."

"We...can...help.", concurred the Servant with a nod of her head.

"Hmmm...", pondered Fran, think over the minister's words. While the events in Aventon and Sila did paint a pattern of attacks getting closer to the capital, their claims did lack solid proof that an attack was coming. The only thing they had that could even be considered as proof was...

"The...girl..., the berserker spoke to Anne and Remilia. The...one...we...bro...ught...along...Could...she...know?

Nieve — Castle Plaza

Fran silently stood to Anne's side, still carrying Remilia as the cyber knight explained to the minister the events that have happened up to now, sparing no details about the attack on Aventon and the monster slime raid on Sila. As Anne wrapped up her report, Fran would notice the smug look on the vampire's face, no doubt feeling justification over demanding to see the king as soon as they got to the gates.

The Servant would not let that slide.

"Ah.", Fran chided Remilia with a shake, getting her attention. "Be...have...Sho...uted...at...guards...for...no...rea...son...Just...doing...job."
