Negotiation

"Ah... I'm really sorry...!"

The girl, now conscious again, stood before Duanmu Huai with a cheeky smile, repeatedly bowing her head in apology.

"I thought you were the Demon Race general leading those dragons, so I attacked without thinking... After all, just look at you... Hahaha..."

"Are you the Princess everyone else mentioned?"

Duanmu Huai sized up the girl before him. He had to admit that although she was a crazy girl, she was quite attractive, and she herself looked lively and adorable. He had met this type before—well, for some reason, he sensed a familiar aura coming from this girl...

"That's right. Hello, my name is Ennis Fia. Wen. Paretia. You can just call me Anis. Are you the Iron Warrior everyone's been talking about?"

"That's right. I'm Duanmu Huai, and this is Okegis."

"Hmm..."

Anisphia walked around Duanmu Huai twice, gazing curiously at the Power Armor on his body.

"What a strange suit of armor. I've never seen anything like it before. It's practically like a robot... Never mind that, though. How did you fly? Did you use magic?"

"Of course not. I have my own methods."

As he spoke, Duanmu Huai pointed at the Jetpack behind him. Upon hearing his answer, Anisphia's eyes lit up even more.

"Wait, so this lets you fly? Can you let me see how it's constructed?"

"Of course not."

Duanmu Huai flatly rejected Anisphia's request. What a joke. Did she think she could inspect an Inquisitor's Power Armor just because she asked?

"Eh? Please! I only want to take a look. I won't tamper with anything."

"Give me a break. Do you think I'd believe that?"

"I'm the princess of this country, you know?"

"An in-name-only Princess, perhaps. What makes you think I'll obediently do as you say?"

Duanmu Huai didn't care
