"Shouldn't we be more cautious, call off the war for now, and investigate the matter with the Italian Cannons?" Ivan suggested.
"Ireya might have planned just that. If those so-called Italian Cannons are really that powerful and she possesses a hundred of them, she wouldn't need to waste words with Harvin. She could directly crush those thirty thousand men to demonstrate her strength to us."
"Your analysis is sound, but... Sir Irelia might simply dislike the sight of bloodshed. Edward II once appraised her, saying she had a heart of gold and noble character."
"That's easy, just command Harvin to launch an attack, and we'll soon find out whether Ireya is truly noble or just bluffing," Lannita said languidly.
"But what if..."
"There are no 'ifs'," Lannita interrupted the former Chief of Intelligence, "those thirty thousand were my bargaining chip to probe the Arias Family from the start. It's no big deal if we lose them."
