Madness
- Erhard are you insane?! - Wayo asked harshly
- The cycles will show, but i can say without a doubt that my mind is still with me. - As he was saying that, he got up from the table, took off his helmet and put the revolver against it.
- But to destroy Britania from the inside? By yourself? In 360 cycles?! -
- Well, I won't be by "myself". Take a look at the map. - Erhard came closer to the map, that was hanging by the left side of his table, after he called Wayo, put his hand on her shoulder and started sharing her details of his initial plan.
- Okay, look.. "sector A" is our beloved slums. let's say Red will work there for now. I already made a deal with their leader. "sector B and C".. as you know, industrialists and Landsknechts work there. they just need a small push to start working against the government. And last but not least, our district "sector D".. government and discipline. But fortunately, we are separate from what's going on in other sectors, this will be pretty helpful. Every sector should hive off and start feuds with each other, the situation will be unstable and government won't be able to solve everything - it will collapse. - As he said the last phrase, Wayo put her hand on her forehead and wanted to show her discontent by trying to take his hand of her shoulder. She was left speechless, trying to find words that will describe what she feels about this plan and him.
Erhard turned to her, cupped her palms and said
- Our duty is such a pride! -
Wayo froze, she asked with a couple tears rolling on her eyes
- Do you really? Want? Go to Ere? But why?! -
- Britania never gave me anything. I'm on the leash, doing my job just as they require in the documents. I'm Noone! A couple of letters from Shu were enough for me to understand that Ere needs me. Even if I am the lowest of the lowest there, they will still need me. -
She could hear a hint of something familiar, her gaze fixed on him just like she fell in love with him for the second time.
- If it's what you need.. promise me.. that you won't leave me here. -
Wayo pressed herself against him, holding him in such a tight embrace that she could even hear his heartbeat.
- I promise. -
He said, patting her head.
