I found a Coeian encryption device
on this man. |
| 2 |
|
qst702303_msg0002 |
84 |
A spy, then. I see... |
| 3 |
|
qst702303_msg0003 |
84 |
An Ardainian citizen, plotting together
with Coeia... Death is all he deserves. |
| 4 |
|
qst702303_msg0004 |
84 |
...Wait. You were tracking me down
and you didn't even know that?! |
| 5 |
|
qst702303_msg0005 |
84 |
We weren't tracking you down
to begin with... |
| 6 |
|
qst702303_msg0006 |
84 |
Our Ardainian troops have been
rounding up the Coeian remnants
wherever they find them. |
| 7 |
|
qst702303_msg0007 |
84 |
Perhaps this scum sensed he would be
found out soon, and decided to run...? |
| 8 |
|
qst702303_msg0008 |
84 |
...Why, thanks for the compliment!
However, I'd refrain from making it
sound like a done deal if I were you. |
| 9 |
|
qst702303_msg0009 |
84 |
Or don't, actually. Stay carefree.
All the easier for us to sweep your
legs from under you! Ahahaha! |
| 10 |
|
qst702303_msg0010 |
84 |
I'm glad you're in high spirits, friend,
but have you considered taking your
current predicament more seriously? |
| 11 |
|
qst702303_msg0011 |
84 |
[ML:Feeling kind=Anger ]Bah, I'm not about to be lectured by
some pretty little Tornan princeling! |
| 12 |
|
qst702303_msg0012 |
84 |
Addam.
Would you please let us take charge? |
| 13 |
|
qst702303_msg0013 |
84 |
Sure, go right ahead, but...
what are you planning to do? |
| 14 |
|
qst702303_msg0014 |
84 |
Brighid. Aegaeon. |
| 15 |
|
qst702303_msg0015 |
84 |
We cannot suffer a caught spy to live.
Please handle it in the proscribed way.
And do be thorough. |
| 16 |
|
qst702303_msg0016 |
84 |
Wait, you don't mean...?
You can't be serious?! |
| 17 |
|
qst702303_msg0017 |
84 |
...I'm sorry, Lora.
You don't have to look. |
| 18 |
|
qst702303_msg0018 |
84 |
[ML:Feeling kind=Anger ]Aaaarghhh!!! |
| 19 |
|
qst702303_msg0019 |
84 |
[ML:Feeling kind=Anger ]How... How humiliatinggggg!!! |
| 20 |
|
qst702303_msg0020 |
84 |
He wouldn't keep still,
so it took some doing. |
| 21 |
|
qst702303_msg0021 |
84 |
And yet, the result speaks for itself.
Superb work, Brighid. Have you been
practicing? |
| 22 |
|
qst702303_msg0022 |
84 |
[ML:Feeling kind=Anger ]Are you taking the mick?!
What the hell is this?! |
| 23 |
|
qst702303_msg0023 |
84 |
I told you, did I not?
A caught spy cannot be allowed to live. |
| 24 |
|
qst702303_msg0024 |
84 |
Henceforth, you will not be allowed to
use MacNeth's name. Starting today,
he will be no more. |
| 25 |
|
qst702303_msg0025 |
84 |
So, what, I just become someone else?
You must be soft in the head! |
| 26 |
|
qst702303_msg0026 |
84 |
You needn't worry.
You look much better this way. |
| 27 |
|
qst702303_msg0027 |
84 |
[ML:Feeling kind=Anger ]What the hell are you on about?!
Stop mocking me! You know that's
not what I meant! |
| 28 |
|
qst702303_msg0028 |
84 |
Be silent. |
| 29 |
|
qst702303_msg0029 |
84 |
You insult not only my land, but also
my friend's. You think I'd overlook it?
Be glad you still draw breath. |
| 30 |
|
qst702303_msg0030 |
84 |
In case you haven't noticed, Hugo gets
a bit scary when he's angry. |
| 31 |
|
qst702303_msg0031 |
84 |
I know not if your overseers are
actually Coeian, or simply looking to
misdirect our ire... |
| 32 |
|
qst702303_msg0032 |
84 |
What I do know, however, is that
no overseer would let a captured spy
remain in enemy hands. |
| 33 |
|
qst702303_msg0033 |
84 |
... |
| 34 |
|
qst702303_msg0034 |
84 |
From now on, you'll be a follower of
Addam. That should serve as sufficient
cover, don't you think? |
| 35 |
|
qst702303_msg0035 |
84 |
You're... You're helping me...? |
| 36 |
|
qst702303_msg0036 |
84 |
We all have our roles to play on life's
rich stage. We simply want you to be
able to keep playing yours. |
| 37 |
|
qst702303_msg0037 |
84 |
Can you take it from here, Addam? |
| 38 |
|
qst702303_msg0038 |
84 |
Will do, friend.
I'll make a space for him in the capital. |
| 39 |
|
qst702303_msg0039 |
84 |
I'm sorry, did we just...press-gang the
poor bastard? |
| 40 |
|
qst702303_msg0040 |
84 |
If that had been our aim from the start,
we have many more prisoners waiting. |
| 41 |
|
qst702303_msg0041 |
84 |
But what I am after is the information
he has. One day we may need it...
That's why I'm giving him to Addam. |
| 42 |
|
qst702303_msg0042 |
84 |
Well then, in the meantime, we should
go and report back on all this...
But what do we even say...? |
| 43 |
|
qst702303_msg0043 |
84 |
We can say that, sadly, blood-crazed
wild beasts got to him before we did.
He gave his life for Ardainian honor. |
| 44 |
|
qst702303_msg0044 |

...That's...a truly unsettling smile, Hugo. |
