Bab 159: Carriage talk

Mika's question was a valid one considering the information at their disposal.

"Miss, don't make the same mistake that the Brave Swords did. Do not underestimate her."

Cal smirked and shook his head.

"How am I supposed not to underestimate her?! From every piece of information we have on her, she wasn't supposed to be anywhere near as capable and cunning to pull even one of the things in the report! Aren't her actions and behavior way too different from what they were in the past? Is she even the same person? If the report is really correct, it means that lady Cranberry must have had experienced some lucky break or a fateful encounter or something!"

It sounded almost as if Mika, of all people, was complaining about the unfairness of the system, and she did that while glancing at the annoyed Corvus, as if she feared that he would change his mind about her.
