So, having my cup of milk coffee, I glanced at Astrid, who was in the room together with her husband. Then I turned to Cecily and Lisa.
“So, these guys knew about it already?” I asked them.
Aust’s forehead tensed, a vein bulging as he glared at me. “What are you trying to imply, huh?!” he snapped, his tone threatening.
Before I could respond, Astrid elbowed him sharply. He coughed and pretended nothing happened, trying to shrug it off. Lisa, calm as ever, said, “Yes. Together with my mother and father, yes. We already know. You can just read their minds, right?”
“I don’t really read people’s minds nowadays,” I said. “Not especially with family. Unless there’s a threat or I’m dealing with strangers, I keep it closed.” Though I already have a warning system that kicks in if I’m in danger, so I don’t have to keep it active all the time.
Lisa smiled faintly. “I trust my family, don’t worry.”
I raised my hands as if surrendering. “Alright, alright.”
“What you’ve got,” she said, looking at me expectantly.
“Well, my operatives and soldiers interrogated some captured Yugoslavians. And yours too—extracted some intel, right?” I said.
“Your point?” she asked, her tone even.
“By far, Yugoslavia was supposed to be at war with NATO,” I explained. She nodded, signaling she knew the context. “That crazy Tito, their ruler, allied with the Warsaw Pact to invade NATO on the... their world. But when they were about to land and launch a ground attack on Italy, that’s when they got transferred here—right into your colonial territories in Dalvat. Not that I’m interested in their reasons, but when they appeared, a rocket was launched into space. I already relayed that to you.”
Lisa nodded again. “Yes, I already know it.”
“Wait, wait,” Aust interrupted. “I can’t quite follow your talk. What’s this tone and atmosphere? It’s like you two are discussing something serious and keeping secrets between you,” he said suspiciously.
Lisa turned to him. “Brother, we already extracted information from the prisoners, remember? NATO is the alliance of their enemies, the Warsaw Pact is their allied faction, the Soviets are their supporters, and Tito is their ruler.”
Aust frowned. “What’s this rocket? I haven’t heard anything about it.”
Lisa paused for a moment, her expression unreadable. “I withheld that information.”
“Why?” Aust demanded.
“Because it’s not an immediate concern to us,” she replied calmly.
“That’s still important information,” he argued.
“Brother,” Lisa said, her tone firm, “none of our technology can reach space. If they attack using rockets, there’s nothing Sanctium can do. Any action would be pointless. We can’t stop that kind of attack. And don’t worry—it’s not harmful. There’s no need to panic. I’ve compiled everything and will present it to our family and vassals soon anyway.” then a scrutinizing gaze land to me. “But someone already said that nonchalantly,”
I muttered with a small shrug. “What do I know? I’m clueless since you’re not telling your family everything. You trust them, right?”
“Incomplete and unnecessary information doesn’t need to reach everyone,” Lisa said firmly. “Now just proceed.”
“Alright,” I said. “We’re dealing with the Chinese here. But China doesn’t exist in this world.”
Aust looked confused. The name “China” clearly meant nothing to him. He looked annoyed but didn’t say a word.
