NovelEnglishEach One’s Delusions
“Uh, damn it…”
In front of Mia and others were the members of the White Crows all lined up and tied up. Only one person was still showing resistance. Jem was glaring at them with pure hate. Mia was silently staring at him for awhile, but she turned to Abel and spoke.
“Prince Abel, Prince Sion, I have a request for you two. These guys … could you somehow spare their lives?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAbel wasn’t really surprised when he heard Mia’s request. Rather, he was expecting it.
The White Crows attempted to overthrow the monarchy. Unlike the rest of the Wind Crows, who only gathered information, these radicals attacked directly. Even the capital punishment is not enough. Were they not from a foreign country, not only would they be executed, but also their family and their clans.
Nevertheless, Mia pleaded for their lives. Normally he wouldn’t be able to grant this kind of request. But Abel thought…
Basically, he is a man who has a soft spot for girls’ requests.
Abel looked at Mia and wondered what Mia was thinking about the sibling’s situation. But he wasn’t worried or concerned. He was pretty sure that Mia had already considered and thought out this issue.
Sion was of the same opinion as Abel. Having been lectured by Mia recently, he saw this as an extension of her ideals. She was trying to give these people an opportunity to start over. So far, her actions have been the proof of that intention.
Had the White Crows actions led to a bloody battle, it would probably have been impossible to spare their lives. Furthermore, the relationship between the Kingdom of Remno and Sunkland will deteriorate, and war will be inevitable. If that happened, there would have been no turning back.
However, the damage this time is limited. At least the Kingdom of Remno shouldn’t have enough reason to make Sunkland into an enemy and starting a war. Although it will all depend on the negotiations, but at this moment, they have at least kept the pot from boiling over.
Mia’s request could be the final course of this long, harrowing events, and the culmination of all her efforts.
It was Mia who did her utmost best in attempting to change this course of events. Thus…

“Hey, did I just hear that you are not going to execute us? Are you insane or am I? Are you planning to torture us instead?”
Jem said with a snarling laugh.
“Hihihihi, do your best. You won’t be able to get a word out of me.”
Sion scowled. Something about the man’s shrill, disdainful voice grated on his nerves.
Only Dion was thinking about something completely different. By the time he came here, he had a unique thought about what was happening. Something about the Wind Crows did not sit right with him. Specifically, their change into White Crows. He was suspicious of the man who transformed what was supposed to be a passive agency transformed into an aggressive one.
He did not seem to fear torture. In fact, he dared them to do their worst. This wouldn’t be surprising for a spy since they have sworn allegiance to their nations. But this kind of mentality goes beyond loyalty… this is like…
Dion glanced at Mia while forming his own hypothesis. Why was she asking for these men to be spared? It must be because she had noticed that there was something else that is hidden beneath all of these. The Wind Crows had gone rogue, but they hadn’t done so alone. There was intent behind their corruption; there was a hand in the shadows pushing them along.
Dion was correct in his thoughts in the second half. All Mia had was a wish. She said it, and that was as far as her forward thinking got. She had not thought about how it was supposed to actually happen. Besides, she did that wish of hers out of her dedication to her Mia First policy…
