Ep7
Inside the courtyards, the woman takes out her glasses and changes into contact lenses. The swift action is followed by her commanding tone, miles different from her former sweet & naive accent.
Yvaine
*stands attentive to her every move*
Yvaine
Good evening, Heiress. I presume your night out went successful? Quite a lot of things have stirred up in the meantime and your father is anything but complaint with the recent turn of events
？？？
*sits down on the cushioned chair, stroking the garnet on her ring*
Yvaine
The Glaciali have openly declared war on us, Heiress. They have seized control of the Waterfront district, the last ruins of the legendary "V's" family
？？？
The V's estate, filled to the brim with expensive drugs, all maps of the underground tunnels of the city and arms that we can't even imagine of conceiving by normal means
？？？
The Crimsinairs and Glaciali signed a peace treaty 5yrs ago and we have always adhered to the very point of it. Has Hayle finally gone nuts?! What's the point of it unless...!
Yvaine
Unless he has the V's long-lost child
？？？
*gives a quick glance of distrust at Yvaine*
？？？
You seem to know what you are speaking about
Yvaine
*pushes forward a picture with a note to the Heiress*
？？？
So this.....is her? This meek girl is the only living proof of the Mafia that ruled the underground undefeated for years?!
Yvaine
It's her. I have my trusted sources confirming it's this woman in the picture that has been taken captive by the Glaciali for which they think they have the upper hand in this tussle.
？？？
Who is this "sources"?
Yvaine
*hesitates* It's just what I have collected from digging around
The heiress slams the table with full force, creating a loud bang echoing through the rather silent courtyard.
？？？
Yvaine, since the day I was born till now, I have spent over half of my life with you. Your petty lies can't protect that police dog hiding in my lair
？？？
*points the photo, sharpened at its edges towards Yvaine* I am giving you another chance, who is it?
Yvaine
Irene, you may have known me for just half of your life but to me, my life started anew when I met you. I will never lie to you, let alone betray you for a flimsy man
Yvaine
I just believe he is crucial to the plan.
Irene
Will trust your judgment on this and stop from poking around further. Although this situation is going places I never wanted it to, it doesn't mean that I can't use to it my advantage
Irene
It's finally time I gain the throne for myself
Yvaine
Are you suggesting.....it can't be right? That's a suicide mission!!
Irene
Not taking advantage of the opportunity thrown at you is no different from suicide for me
Irene
Dispatch Rouxi, she will die but someone who dares to compete against me won't be weak enough to die without killing Hayle. This time, the war is for real.
The Glaciali mafia's unassuming headquarters operates behind the facade of "Rosy Twilight", a quaint, family-owned hotel in the heart of Leonhart. Amidst the aroma of freshly baked cookies, the organization's ruthless leaders orchestrate their meeting round.
Hayle
*sits in front of the executives, taking the limelight to himself* I am sure you all know about the new Mayor and his decision already
Hayle
The waterfront district, or to be more exact, the V's estate. For years, we maintained false truce with the Crimsinairs for that very piece of land yet-!
Hayle
*takes a deep breath* The new Mayor's crafty, he is trying to make both of us mafias turn against each other
Hayle
The stamp, I never sanctioned it's use. Yet the dead traitor dared to steal it right under my nose *he eyes Nepthys*
Nepthys
Boss since you know Mayor's plan already, why are we sitting around and letting him play us?
Hayle
Sitting around? I admit he started the fire, this game of cat and rat that is going to begin. But who says that we can't use this opportunity to our advantage? *he smirks*
Hayle
Calix, you know what I mean right? Get your princess to use. We can't idle by any longer while our guys might be getting killed the very moment.
Nepthys
Should I go and fight in the frontlines tomorrow? I haven't proved my usefulness yet
Hayle
*waves his hand* let me have the honours. My skills are getting rusty.
Calix
Why aren't you clearing matters upfront with Crimsinairs?
Hayle
The Crimsinairs are already trapped in their own inheritance games. We can kill 2 birds by a single stone by carefully using this opportunity
Hayle
It's not like we can defeat them by conventional means afterall
