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 ?
