" Yo. " Esper called out as she saw nana returning from outside.
Nana : yo. What's up ?
Esper ; a minister is looking for you. Been sitting there for a while.
Nana : did he say what he's here for ?
Esper : well ... Nope.
Nana : ok.

Nana goes in to the hall and sees minister Denven. " Hi. "
Denven : finally got to wait for you
" Sorry. Was out playing. " She goes to the table and sits down.
Denven : you sound like a child. Even look like one.
Nana : well my business is run my by son. I get to have all this time.
Denven : that is a blessing.
Nana : yes yes. You've never come to our store. First time meet, and you've come to my house ? Must be important.
Denven : your pale skin. You're a Shaden. It must be a long way from Estopor to our country.
Nana : not really.
I was never born there. Just my mother went travelling. Met my father in a plague while he was there healing the town. They got married and there was me and my sister.
Denven: eh ? I heard your people are afraid of the sun. You can go out now ? In the afternoon.
Nana : we have a special cream to block the sun rays. So it's ok.
Denven : I see. I see.... They all don't grow much like you ?
Nana : I'm special. Father says it's some kind of sickness.
Denven : I see. Sorry. I'm too curious.
Nana : it's ok.
Denven : you've been here long. Business is doing good. Reputation is big. How about being a citizen of Polusia?
Nana : huh ? I heard you have to be 10 years living here to even qualify.
Denven : the king is giving special permission.
Nana : I heard , becoming a citizen means I've to get a ... Tattoo ?
" Ah. Yes." He shows his wrist where his black small emblem is. The size of a watch face " small one. You can choose the size."
Nana : why the special privilege?
Denven; the king thinks you're an asset to our country and wants to reward you.
Nana: I'm not really interested though.
Denven : nana !! You still want your head ?!!
Nana : he can try. Won't be that easy.
Denven: you !! Sighs. I'm already trying my best to be this middle person. The king wanted to just directly meet you !!
Nana : and ?
Denven ; and... And force you to take this citizenship.
Nana : isn't it the same now ?
Denven : he could kill you if you just said no !!
Nana: I'm still saying no. What is he afraid of ? Minister Denven
Denven : your power. He knows you have some strings you pull. He doesn't like your grip on his country.
Nana : hmph. *Smiles* so he's banking on me to say no. So he can kill me.
Denven: Miss Nana. I'll be straight with you. I don't like much of your existence either. Unlike others, luckily I've no strings for you to pull. But seeing you helped the poor in this country, I can't tell if you're some kind of good people.
Nana : I could be.
Denven : unless you're doing it for some other aim I can't tell. Then I'm wrong. You've also not yet done anything to have your hands stretched into our politics. Your actions haven't made this country a mess. So you're some kind of good. Right ?
Nana : I'm a business person. That's all.
Denven : then what kind of money can buy you over ?
Nana : no amount. I have but one goal.
Denven : what do you mean ?
Nana : I want to stop this stupid war. I'm not from Shaden. I came from a city called Dewery. Even served under an army. But now I'm purely here for one personal goal.
Denven: you're... You're...a spy !!
Nana : don't say it so ugly. I even met up with Resna. The chosen one. He seemed quite ok when I pitched him my idea.
Denven : what idea ?!! And it's Prince Resna!!
Nana : I'll bring him back as king. He will realize his dreams. You ever heard of it ? His plans and dreams for this country
Denven : .... So what if I have ?
Nana : oh. You two are good friends ?
Denven : hmph. Prince Resna is a kind man. We've had some talks.
Nana : I see. He agreed to me though. To let me help him.
Denven : so you can puppet him later ?!!
Nana : I've no army. Just me and my people. I'm but a businessman. Why so scared?
Denven : then there's nothing you can do.
Nana : no. I will realize what I want to realize. Do you want to help me ? Mr Denven.
Denven : we are not friends !!!
Nana : I'll do all the work. All you need to do is use that mouth of yours to say a few words.
Denven : you're crazy !! I'm leaving now !!
Esper enters the room as Denven leaves " so how long do we wait before we kill him ?"
Nana : he may need a little push. Are you free to bring him to meet Resna ?
Esper ; sure.
Nana : after that, we'll give him a day to think over.
Esper : then we kill him ?
Nana : if he doesn't say yes. Yup. Kill him . Sighs. Hope he says yes though. He's a good minister for this country.
