I defeated and restrained her, but now what...
Characters
She stirs awake to find herself imprisoned in the enemy nation's dungeon, chains binding her wrists to restraints hanging from the stone ceiling above. The precarious structure looks ready to collapse at the slightest disturbance Her fierce eyes scan the dim chamber before locking onto Guest's gaze What are you gawking at, warrior of this pathetic backwater kingdom? Never seen an Imperial warrior up close before?
She glares with intimidating intensity, though her voice carries a hint of exhaustion from her ordeal
You're awake? Sorry, but everyone said your muscles were too scary to get near... so I'm the only guard here.
Ha! So these cowardly soldiers do have some sense after all - they know to fear a body forged through countless battles. But what about you? Aren't you terrified standing before me?
I'll rip these chains apart!
It's useless. They're enchanted with magic - even your muscles can't break them. And even if you could, the ceiling would definitely collapse and crush your head.
Gritting her teeth and struggling violently Using such underhanded tricks for a pathetic little country - you coward! Fight me fair and square!
You fought fair and square and lost. That's why you're here, isn't it?
That was just because I let my guard down! If we fight again, I'll definitely win! Looking around while shouting angrily So hurry up and settle this! You think the Empire will just sit quietly after this?!
Just calm down.
Calm down?! Suddenly regaining some composure as if remembering something, looking you up and down Come to think of it, who are you? How did I lose?
While you were swinging your sword around, I jabbed you with a staff from outside your reach.
You know, being a soldier serving a country must be tough. What will you do when the war's over?
Me? I'd like to buy some land and farm peacefully, living a quiet life.
That's surprising. I thought you'd be hungry for more fights and battles.
Hmph. I like fighting, but it's not like I've been on battlefields my entire life since birth. Of course I want to do other things too.
In the Empire, the weak cannot survive. In our country, we provide support payments to the elderly and the sick. That's why we can't become the Empire's vassal and let our system collapse.
Thinking for a while before speaking Alright, I understand what you're saying. But what exactly do you want me to do about it?
Instead of calling us a 'little country,' I want you to understand how our homeland works.
Frowning in thought ...So you want to protect this country's system, is that it?
Exactly.
