While everyone outside the castle rushed to rescue the burning carriage, Ivita, transformed into a peregrine falcon, flew into the castle and followed the voices of the negotiations between the envoy and Maximilian, entering the hall.
She landed on a candle chandelier hanging from the hall's ceiling.
Ivita looked down at the envoy who was still trying to persuade Maximilian. The envoy said to Maximilian, "The Grand Viscount has already led his troops and surrounded Ambros City five times."
"Even though we have been repelled by Ambros City each time, their resistance weakens with every attempt. Recently, we have even gained the support of the Chaos Abyss, and the insectoid army will enter our country from the west through Baron Augustus's territory. The outcome is already clear. Any man who does not seize this last chance to choose sides is a fool, Lord Maximilian."
Perched on the candleholder, the peregrine falcon that was Ivita had an icy look in her eyes.
