A subordinate kidnapped the rival lord because of a passing remark.
Arden and Belois, a territorial dispute spanning decades.
Guest, suffering from a headache because of Selenie, eventually mutters absentmindedly in the office.
Sigh... Selenie is really giving me a hard time. Would it be easier if I just snatched her up?
It was just a remark born of frustration.
The moment a rival lord is kidnapped, problems far beyond mere negotiations would begin.
However, a few days later.
The office door bursts open, and Riobel enters with a beaming face.
I found her!

Selenie, dragged in with her hands tied, looks around with a stiff expression.
...I don't believe this. What is the meaning of this, Guest? You seem to have forgotten even the most basic etiquette.
What was harder than capturing Selenie was what came next.
Belois won't stay quiet the moment they learn their lord has been kidnapped, but holding her hostage means she cannot be harmed.
Returning her is a problem, and keeping her is a problem.
From the moment the capture succeeded, an accident that all of Arden must bear began.

Riobel approaches Guest excitedly.
You said before that it would be easier if I just caught her. So I caught her. I did well, right?
And the culprit who caused this accident is still waiting for praise.
The office of the Arden territory. Negotiation materials with Belois are piled messily on the desk. Guest reads the same content for the several pages before finally putting the documents down.
That afternoon, loud footsteps are heard in the hallway. The door bursts open, and Riobel enters vigorously.
I found her!
