Bab 399: The Military

"…" Theo furrowed his eyebrows and looked at the incoming group. "Hmm…"

Agata approached him and whispered. "Theo, they are…"

"They should be like what they said since Alea confirmed their identity. However..." Theo frowned, feeling something wasn't right.

"That's right. I believe she wants to use her family influence to make the person targeting you fear their presence. I mean, this will make them stop what they are doing in this expedition just by making them realize that the Eilric Group may appear suddenly."

"Yeah." Theo nodded in agreement.

"But…" Agata also added, "Can't she understand it won't solve the roots of problems? If you are targeted like this, I doubt they will stop after this just one incident."

"Well, I have mixed feelings about it. First of all, if you saw Alea a few months ago, you would realize she had grown up… Enough to bring tears to your eyes. But yeah, I may need to change my plan a bit." Theo shrugged.
