She's kind.
No. She merely returns back what's deserved
She's been called a witch because of how long she's been living & the amount of things she did , that couldn't be called good or bad.
Or perhaps she's not even a human at all ?
Nana took in a deep breath as she stood outside the big doors.
Shadow Demon: you're scared of her ?
Nana ; sssh !! She was my General. I've never seen her !!
Shadow Demon: why you have to talk to the General for this one ? The previous one you looked for Mr Ania.
Nana : Mr Ania controlled the entire army on behalf of General Exidus. General Deseri. *Breathes in* She's not that easy.
She knocks. Then she opens the door " General Deseri."
Katherie Deseri ( General )
Nana looks at the name plate and stops a distance from the table Deseri is sitting at.
Deseri : Nana Hailarose. You've been a story when you were here. Also a story when you left. Now you're at my door.
Nana : erm, I didn't know you were keeping an eye on me.
The chair she sat on turned around. She looked at nana " more like a nice side story to keep my day entertained."
Nana : I see.
Deseri : you're scared of me ? Now I'm curious.
Nana : .... You're the rumoured Valkyrie.
Deseri : the rumours flatter me. Real valkyries can fly and only battle for the gods. Must be stronger than someone like me.
Nana : ....
Deseri: come. Sit.
So nana went over to her table to sit . So did Shadow Demon went over with her closer to the table.
Deseri: hm ? You that scared of me you bring this one ?
Nana : that's not really it. He's just a ...
" Hmmmm...." Deseri cuts her " stronger than Reaid . Eh. That guy is all about brains and not brawn. Would have hired him if not that. Let's see... Stronger than Antosei. And he's quite strong. "
Nana ; General Deseri.
The door knocks at this time.
Deseri : huh ? Come in !!
The door opens and her assistant Antosei brings in a guy being cuffed and held by two other men.
Deseri : who's that ?
Antosei ; Traitor. Remember you asked me to check who sold our items out ?
" Oh.... I remember. " She stood up and materialises her big blade over her shoulder.

She walks over " why ?"
" .... Money."
Deseri : we give you money for fighting your life out there.
" I... I was greedy !! I'm so sorry!! I won't do it again !! "
" Pain in my ass . " She swings her blade and slices the man's head off " waste my time. I have to fight to those stupid idiots at the border everyday. Now I've to deal with these kinds of stupid idiots."
Antosei : I'll clean this up.
" Um." She looked to her dress " tsk." She makes her blade disappear. " So. Nana Hailarose."
Nana turns her chair around " yes ?"
Deseri : you're not as strong as me. I can threaten your life right here to make you do a few things for me since you have the wealth.
Shadow Demon slides out his blade slightly.
Deseri ; hmph. Loyal dog. You're lucky to have found him. But... I want to hear what you want.
Nana : what do you want ?
Deseri : what ?
Nana : I want to stop this stupid war . To do that, I'm going to make Polusia trigger a peace treaty. If that actually succeeds... Military power...
Deseri ; I see. It's true my House has been gaining in power and wealth these few centuries due to war. All of those idiots wanted to take the power from me after my father died. A little girl. But I showed them. I can fight and kill better than any of those comfortable idiots. I lived and saw blood and death even as a child. I knew better than them what war is. *Clenched fists.*
Nana : you hate those other idiots in your House ?
Deseri : well. I showed them . Now they have respect and fear me. Follow my whims.
Nana : so...
Deseri : do you think they'll still be at my whims if I cut off my military power ?
Nana : they will. If the 3 major House that holds military power only becomes 2. And the other one is just a mild tiger.
Deseri: you're talking about Exidus?
Nana : yes. He's no threat to you.
Deseri : he is, a softie. His House is a small House. His ancestor was recommended by my ancestor to become a General in order to care the borders because the government wanted to put the Saluvor's out of power. In a way, it had to be him.
Nana : a different surname. Almost a no namer , so that no one can monoplise that army.
Deseri : because they became a General family, they were given permission to be a House.
Nana : then war came. Saluvor was used again.
Deseri: I've met him before. Reed Exidus. A good man. He is like his ancestor. Has compassion. Unlike... Sighs. Me.
Nana : so we have a deal ?
Deseri : like I said. As long as those idiots still respect me and depend on me.
