Gossip 3 – Lana’s Consultation

“Ronaldo-sama, Mirei-sama, could you two make time for us to talk after this?” Lana said to the two with a nervous look.

Actually, after encountering Eto and his party in the Commander’s tent, Lana felt strongly that she had to discuss things properly. Otherwise, they might make the same mistakes as before.

Mirei soon noticed Lana’s seriousness. So, she stared at Lana’s eyes and nodded, before she began to speak to Ronaldo.

“Ronaldo-sama, I have no qualms about that. I also think it is important to discuss the future of the party, but what do you think?”

“… Indeed. Then, let’s have dinner together. Come to my room.”

“I’m looking forward to it. Well then, see you at dinner, Ronaldo-sama. Let’s go, Lana.”

“Yes. Thank you very much, Ronaldo-sama. Please excuse me.”

“Aa.”

When the party saw Eto inside the tent, Ronaldo clearly lost his composure. Eto’s attitude toward them was also terrible, he seemed unwilling to listen to what Ronaldo said at all.

Because of that, Ronaldo became more and more upset. After Eto left the tent, he was all about responding to the Commander’s story in a few words.

Lana hoped that Ronaldo and Eto would be on better terms. Because she thought it was not good for Ronaldo to have feelings that couldn’t be expressed in a single word, whether he was angry, hateful, or felt pitiful of himself.

If that feeling keeps rising, the sparks may hit Eto again. Needless to say, it would be unfair for Eto to suffer any further disadvantages than he already had before, and if that really happens, Ronaldo will probably be severely punished this time. And Lana wanted to avoid that situation. So, she decided to talk with Mirei and asked Ronaldo to give their party time to have a discussion.

At dinner, Lana only suggested one thing to Ronaldo. That is she just wanted Ronaldo to listen to Eto’s suggestion properly.

“This may be rude, but Ronaldo-sama often becomes emotional when it comes to Eto.”

Albeit hesitant, Lana clearly said.

“That’s… I have to admit that.”

Ronaldo nods to Lana’s opinion, wrinkling his eyebrows.

“Just one time. Please listen to Eto’s suggestion seriously. Eto has always been good at thinking about strategies. Even in the lecture that we got at the Royal Castle, he was praised many times by the Knight who became our teacher. Please use Ronaldo-sama’s abundant knowledge to judge whether his suggestion is possible or not.”

“Lana, does that have any meaning?”

“Yes. I believe Ronaldo-sama can overcome the status quo and be on better terms with Eto.”

“… I see. That time, if Lana and Mirei didn’t save me, I might still have stayed in the mansion in the Royal Capital. So, if Lana says that there is a meaning in being on better terms with Eto, then I’ll try to follow it.”

“Ronaldo-sama… thank you very much.”

Lana thanked Ronaldo for accepting her opinion.
