58: Paying Minister Braidy A Visit
Pinlana was speaking through the accessory she was given " so you didn't take the deal ? "
Nana : so I chose the harder way out. I hire you. Do your job.
Pinlana: then... Where should I start...
Nana : her enemies. Anyone have any benefits in killing her. Blah. From scratch.
Pinlana: she has no enemies. She's a ignored princess. Killing her... Wouldn't gain anything. She's powerless in position.
Nana : her bow.
Pinlana : I thought you said it chooses a master.
Nana : the Golden Bow has never actually been as picky as you people think. She just is looking for someone strong enough to use her.
Pinlana : her ?
Nana : yes. The bow is a her. But who knows her friend araki took the bow and ran.
Pinlana ; hmm....got it I'll investigate in that direction.

Nana sighed " I don't like losing people... "
Drei: sorry ? What miss ?
Vier : is there something of the matter ?
Nana: they're keeping tabs on me. Hovering flies are quite annoying
Drei ; we did say we could go get rid them.
Nana ; they'll just assign another team. Leave it. Wonder when they'll act.
Vier ; you know them ?
Nana : you could say that.
They already know I could break out of that jail they made me. Should be sending some very strong people.
Drei ; what are you referring to ? Miss ? Us ?
Nana; never mind that.

Nana called Pinlana " so ? "
Pinlana : several tried for the bow within royalty. Nobody succeeded. Also looked into close potential candidates...
Nana ; and...
Pinlana : a few , but they're all not in the city. And wouldn't make sense to go through so much effort just to get the bow back.
Nana : so you have nothing?
Pinlana ; then I reviewed everything I could. Even court records. Well ... It's obvious the king made the sentence. There wasn't much discussion on the part of the death sentence.
Nana ; harsh. She's a princess. Not even leeway ?
Pinlana : nope. No contention over she had to die. Just discussion on what type of death sentence. Royalty usually go with death wine right ?
Nana : yup . Get to keep their bodies.
Pinlana : there is a minister Braidy who said she needed to be burn as she's a witch. She needed to make an example.
Nana : she went crazy so he's saying she's a witch ? Over appeal much ?
Pinlana : well... Witches are called as people who were possessed by things causing them to be super powerful than average
Nana : wow. Centuries pass and humans have not improved on how to discern what's a real witch and what's just crazy ?
Pinlana : it's a setup.
Nana : I know. So what finally convinced the king ?
Pinlana : does it matter ?
Nana : it matters to me.
Pinlana: .... The favorite daughter. Princess Ayla.
Nana : hmm...
Pinlana : I think you have some ideas already?
Nana ; I do. Get me information that can give me leverage to minister Braidy.
Pinlana: already investigating.
" Alright. End call. " Nana stood up from her seat and stretches a little. She heads towards the door.
Allison: Miss ? Where are you going?
Nana : why ? I can't leave ?
Allison: of course you can.
Nana : you can go home if you're bored here. I did hire you as a gardener.
Allison: you don't like me here Miss?
Nana : more like you seem bored.
Allison: I'm ok miss.
Nana : no problem then.

Nana was sitting in the common room waiting for minister Braidy. She took a few sips of her tea and continuing eating snacks.
Bored....
Nana : when is your master coming back ?
" We've told him. He's coming back. "
Nana : hm. Ok. Maybe he needs a bit of encouragement. Tell him , he can't hide forever you know.
" Ma'am. It's been only 20 minutes."
Nana : it's a Saturday! He's supposed to be free.
The servant sweatdrops . That's when another servant lead Allison in.
Nana : what are you doing here ?
Allison: you forgot your wallet , Miss !
Nana digs around her hat "no. It's in my hat..."
Allison showed it to her " here. "
Nana ; haha
Allison: you were giving me some cash to buy snacks for you and you forgot it here.
Nana: haha.
" And this lady , you might be ?"
Nana looks pass Allison by moving her head back a bit " hi. Mr Braidy. "
Braidy ; hi to you too. Miss.... ?
Nana : nana will do.
Braidy ; no last name ?
Nana ; don't like to be known as that.
" That's unusual. " He came to sit at the same table as she is. " I don't know you. But you're here because... "
Nana : princess Eerei.
Braidy: she's passed. You are her friend ?
Nana : of sorts. I don't suppose you're interested in the Golden Bow she was owner to , that's why you wanted her death ?
Braidy ; that's preposterous to say. I did not cause her to go berserk.
Nana : really? The kids that were kidnapped ... I try very hard to find out who invited them to the military barracks.
Braidy: so did we. Count Hercula made it his sole mission at that time to get to the bottom of who was framing her to be a witch. To which investigation shows , there's no framing involved. The kids were part of a school outing that never returned back home.
Nana : so you're saying she shouldn't have been anxious? Those children were her kids of the people closest to her.
Braidy ; there are ways. Berserk is not warranted. She must have been bewitched.
Nana : wow. The two soldiers who kept them there already died out of illness. Dead men tells no tales. I understand that very well.
Braidy ; then I offer my condolences to them. What happened to those two , is not my business
Nana : an eye for an eye. Although I won't try to burn the mastermind. I certainly have other ways. You see... I think there's someone behind you. But it's ok if you don't want to tell me. I'll just have it placed on you instead.
Braidy ; ha ! What are you ? Avenger ?
Nana : no. Merely made a deal I have to carry out . Good day. Mr Braidy.
Braidy : I urge you to return the Golden Bow. I'm sure you don't want to be the reason of a national incident. Or perhaps just disappear
Nana : thank you for the idea. Maybe I should try that ? On you. Do you think you would be missed ?
