Chapter 261: Building a Good Relationship with Lamia
“How, you want to help me? Like selling me a few criminals from your side?” Leon asked tentatively.
If he could capture a witch from Moiland, it would count as a considerable achievement, but Moiland most likely would not be willing to let someone who might cause an intelligence leak fall into the Church’s hands, while capturing insignificant people would not count as much of an achievement either.
“Can we talk privately?” Dorothy suddenly suggested, taking the lead in having her own attendants withdraw into the distance.
Leon nodded upon hearing this and gestured for his subordinates to stand by in the distance.
“Colonel Jonathan?” Dorothy glanced at Johnny, who stood there motionlessly with his arms folded, and reminded him aloud.
Only then did Johnny wave his own subordinates away, but he himself still did not move a single step: “I’m staying right here. If there’s something you need to hide from me, then nine times out of ten, you’re up to no good.”
“Whatever, if you want to listen, then listen.” Dorothy had no objection, then looked toward Leon, “I reported my cooperation with you to Her Majesty the Queen, and she has a relatively positive attitude toward our cooperation. The problem lies with Arachne. Her reaction was just as expected, she’s quite unwilling to accept it. Her Majesty the Queen is still sending her to operate within the Empire. From what I know of her, she’ll probably stir up some trouble sooner or later.”
“Don’t tell me you’re encouraging me to capture her?” Leon frowned when he heard this, “Since your Queen agreed to our transaction, would she still allow her to act recklessly?”
He had gone to so much trouble to establish trade relations with the Witches’ Assembly precisely to properly restrain whatever retaliatory actions Arachne might take.
