"So you must accept it," Isaral said to Uchiha Madara and Alustriel. "Otherwise, our city lord will blame us."
"She really is a strange person. I wonder if she actually likes us." Alustriel thought for a moment, then said with a smile, "Why has she refused to see us from the beginning until now? Could she already suspect the identities of the two of us?"
"We can go find her and verify our identities," Alustriel said.
"That really isn't it. If she suspected your identities, she wouldn't have sent me to bring you dinner now. She would have sent me to bring you poison instead," Isaral said with a smile.
"You really know how to talk. You've scared me so much that I don't even dare eat dinner now," Uchiha Madara said speechlessly.
Uchiha Madara thought to himself that Isaral really was direct. She had actually said something like that outright. It seemed she truly did not consider him an outsider.

"They have suffered too much because of men and endured too many grievances, which is why they feel this way.
