Chapter 3 - Veronica and Silvia

Part 1

As the airship Silvanus arrived at Ansarivan-

The Necromacia’s summoner- Milgauss’s right-hand man Anya was stranded in Danebury, a commercial city west of Ansarivan. This time, she was alone in one the many building thinking deeply

Despite the words "Rosetta’s Buisness Firm” hanging on the door, this is actually the name of a fictional industry. In other words, this is a secret base operated by Milgauss and the Zepharos Empire’s Intelligence.

Basically, the interior had the taste of a business firm, the tables, chairs and bookcase being very neat and organized.

But presently there was only Anya in the room.

“<Silver Knight> ...? "

Browsing the data on her hand, Anya murmured and muttered.

Recently she has been diligently investigating the hero called <Silver Knight>.

For Milgauss and Anya, the hero who defeat the Necromancia may be turned into treat to them.

The problem is that, surprisingly there is only a few sightings and reports which cause the investigations run into a bottleneck.

So far, the information related with the true identity of the <Silver Knights> is still not yet known. After all, the people who happen to be there are in chaos, such a result is not surprising.

The one who has the most precise grasp of the situation, perhaps are non-other than Milgauss and Anya who are looking at the scene of the incident.

As a result, what is widely said now may just be rumours, thus they could not find any valuable clues.

No, in Anya’s memories there is a valuable information.

That guy ...... since he participate in the riding a dragon festival, which means that he is a student right? "

It happens that because of some difficulties, Anya was afraid to inform this to Milgauss.

If she to him, it is like admitting her own mistakes.

The guy whom she didn’t kill turned out to be the <Silver Knights>....... This incident no matter what, Anya will never tell anyone. Anya step towards the window, staring blankly at the sky.

"Milgauss-sama..."

A Few days before, Milgauss received a confidential letter issued by the Ministry of Empire’s Intelligence.

Recorded in the letters is ordering him to return Empure. The Intelligence Department should be very interested in the Necromancia.

"Oh ya, I have to finish the report before Migauss-sama comes back ......"

"It is not good something was very wrong, Shamara!"

One of the men suddenly broke into the room.

He has a wheat-colored skin and dark hair.

He is a typical the Tantalos guy.

"How many times do you want me to remind you? Now I’m called Anya! Do not use that name to call me!"

“S-Sorry ...... Anya.”

"It is Anya-sama."

"Yes... Anya-sama."

The teenager knee for quite a while. On matter what happened in the past, Anya is the leader of the Tantalos tribe. No matter how familiar he is to her, there is still hierarchy, otherwise it is impossible to rule the others.

"And then happened is no wrong?"

"Th-That is the <Ironblood Valkyrie> just came to visit Ansarivan, which also caused quite a stir."

"What!"

Anya’s eyes widened.

<Ironblood Valkyrie> - The Lautreamont Knight Country’s first Princess, Princess Veronica. Her reputation has shoke the whole continent.

Veronica intervene in many ethnic strife around the continent, thus increasing in number of loss of those guerrilla forces.

This also includes many Tantalos’s fighters.

It is not exaggerating to say she is an enemy to all Tantalos.

"How long does Veronica is expected to stay?"

"According to official sources, five days ......"

If she rush there non-stop, in three days arrive at Ansarivan. For Anya who trained in the mountainous areas, it is but a slight distance. It has long been investigated that the defence of Ansarivan is very weak and vulnerable. If you took a gamble, you even have the opportunity to assassinate Veronica- But Anya quickly dispelled such idea.

Because she remember Milgauss command before he return to the Empire.

- During this period when I left, you are to investigate clearly the ins and outs of the Ark-Dragner who defeated the Necromancia.

Not just Anya, for Tantalos tribe too is also the same, Milgauss command is supreme and not to be defy.

Milgauss only order them to spy. Even if it is a godsend, Anya must not recklessly attack Veronica.

“Uh ... that ... "

"What happened?"

Looking at the hesitant look of the teenager, Anya sense something bad.

"The thing is ...... uh ...... after hearing the name <Ironblood Valkyrie>, the rest have leave for Ansarivan.”

"What did you say!"

Anya swing her long hair, and the chair is knock down.

"The rest" that the guy said are the Tantalos who followed Anya down from the mountains to assist Milgauss, they are also Anya’s subordinate.

"I, I have tried to stop them! But Valery, Micha, Sergi ...... they didn’t listen to my advice."

"They just too reckless!"

Since Milgauss returned to the Empire, Anya let Valery rest. This is because, she knows that they who are always careless, do not fit in spying activities.

The rest since they have heard the name of Veronica they get carried away by their emotions, Anya understand this.

The problem is blindly provoking the Knight country is not a wise move.

The Zepharos Empire over the past 50 years, with their leading Mechanical engineering non-stop expending their armies, but the strength is still not on an equal footing with the Dragons. They still have bear with it.

At least before the Necromancia had officially come in handy -

"I will immediately leave for Ansarivan!"

"Ehhh??? Anya...- sama also want to join the assassination?"

"It is just the opposite I have to stop those guys!"

Anya raised her head resolutely and she rushed out of the room.
