In Marlina's Eyes - IV
"So... I am truly pitiful," Marlina sighed softly.
"Even with utmost effort, even with Mr. Ansel's assistance, just the offer of this condition makes my heart waver... If there were no other choice, I would agree, even if it meant burning all my efforts to ashes."
She looked at Nerilia and softly said, "To regard someone like me, who is so vastly different from you, with such esteem, I am deeply grateful, Lady Nerilia."
Nerilia's offer was essentially a gamble for Marlina.
If Marlina could, under such uncertain circumstances, establish a vast network of control in the Western Lands using only the name "Faust," enabling Ansel to easily make changes, such an achievement would be sufficient for her to request a method to attain extraordinary status from Ansel.
But is this really so easy to achieve? Would Ansel continue to provide such crucial support as he does today? Everything remains uncertain.
