Chapter 256 - Day 256: Barn (II)

"What exactly are you talking about, girl?" Marjorie could think of many ideas besides the most obvious to her about what Lynn's words meant, so she had to ask that question.

"I'm surprised that the Major isn't aware, I must take care of transmitting everything properly." Lynn was slightly accommodating her dress while she continued in the chair and ordered all the information that was in her head.

"You and your mother know perfectly well that I stopped caring about the world's problems a long time ago, right now I'm just a simple old woman who plays the role of a doctor in her beloved hometown." Marjorie had said that quite calmly since that was the truth… Well, for the most part.

"That's right, how could I forget?" Lynn lightly hit her head with her fist while laughing lightly, this to convey that she had really forgotten... But that attitude only annoyed Marjorie, and Lynn was aware of it. "Okay, I'll stop for now since one of the reasons why I came to Sharance was to talk to the Major on my mother's side."

Marjorie didn't say anything else after that, letting Lynn know that she was letting her get on with her explanation, so the serious look that had gone from her face was back.

"There's been news that the territory of the Gebu Continent controlled by the Sechs Empire has been a little restless lately." Lynn narrowed her eyes slightly once she saw Marjorie's expression didn't change at all. "Maybe this isn't enough to call attention, but it is also known that Emperor Ethelberd left the safety of Uruz and is now heading towards Gebu."

"I'm surprised him have the confidence to leave his territory, isn't he afraid that little Gilberth or that strange empire will seize the opportunity to make a move?" Instead of asking Lynn that question, Marjorie was talking to herself as more ideas popped into her mind.

"I suppose he must have left some surprise, or what occupies his attention may be something more important than the complete safety of his empire." Lynn was also analyzing the situation with the idea of finding some clues, but she could only shake her head because of it.

In all of Futhark, apart from the king of Norad, the emperor of the Sechs empire was also quite famous, he was the main mastermind behind the rise and conquests carried out by the Sechs empire, and his various achievements alone were enough for him to become a person to be reckoned with in the framework, but if it were only for that, how had his battle against the kingdom of Norad lasted so long without being defeated?

And the answer to that question was quite simple, the main strength of the Sechs empire, apart from its advanced technology and army, lay entirely in the Runic emperor that was a part of them, and that Runic emperor was none other than the current emperor of the Sechs Empire, Ethelberd. Although he had never accepted being labeled that way, there was no doubt that his strength was enough to change the course of things if he acted personally.

Even though many years had passed, the story of the time when the King of Norad and the Emperor of Sechs had a direct confrontation was still being passed down, the power displayed by both of them was something that could not really be described by a common mouth, and despite the king of Norad was an Earthmate, the battle was said to have ended in a tie for both of them.

Maybe it was a simple story that anyone could have invented, but it was a situation that was completely true, especially since, after that battle, a part of the territory of Norad had been destroyed, being turned into various islands that now remained calmly in the ocean or at the bottom of it.

"So... What does this have to do with me?" Marjorie noticed that Lynn hadn't said anything else, so she had to ask that question that was on her mind and was very important to her in all this matter.

"Nothing really, Major Marjorie, but it was Mother who asked me to tell you about it, maybe the skirmishes between Sechs and Norad don't affect Adonea much, but it's always good to pay a little attention to it." Lynn kept a straight pose and elegant while saying that, she also sighed internally as she thought it would be nice to have some tea at that time. "Also, the fact that there is a movement between two continents is what is truly striking..."

"You don't need to act mysterious with me, I fully understand the situation, also thank your mother for the information, but tell her that it is even more interesting to see the grass growing near the Sharance tree than to hear about the fights of the youngsters." Marjorie left things in a calm, she also understood Lynn's position and her mother's instructions, but Marjorie had no interest as long as there was no real threat.

"I'll be sure to pass on your thoughts to her as well." Lynn thanked Marjorie with a small bow since she had taken the time to listen to her.

"Anyway, what about your supposed marriage?" And being convinced that everything was already said, Marjorie abruptly changed the subject... Although it was a somewhat problematic one for Lynn.

"About that..." Lynn's calm expression had disappeared at that very moment, and she was looking for any way to ignore Marjorie's question... Which she wasn't going to able to do. "I didn't know that the Major one was still such a joking, hehe."

"So you keep avoiding it just like you did years ago." Marjorie just looked at Lynn as if she was judging her, but Marjorie was bothering her a bit since she knew Lynn's way of acting well due to that somewhat sensitive topic.

"Everything will come in due time; I still haven't found the right one..." Lynn only left those words that expressed her complicated feelings... Although she also knew that Marjorie was reminding her of all that in a small sign of revenge...
