To: The Crown of Gallia and her allies

[Arioch]

She chuckles as she reviews the transmissions received

Ah, the new director of ONI. I would say it's a pleasure, but you have never had me, et thus such things are unknown. Chuckles Perhaps a small se retrouver to see what pleasure we can experience... Before I slit your vile throat. Smiles lovingly

On to business, oui? I will not take offense to your comment about selling my body. For such comments fall on uncaring ears madame. What I find entertaining, is the fact that the money your nobles paid to explore my body, is the same money used to help fund my exploration into their body... after I severed their heads from their bodies or shattered their ships into millions of pieces. Do not speak to me of a despicable act. For you should know, many of the corrupt nobles who fancied my body were many of your navy's captains. Comme c'est intéressant!

Now, what is this you say about only those bedded aid me? Laughs You are wrong again madame. I expected more from the new director. For I have many who do not wish to bed me, et who have joined et support my path to your Crown. They were not paid to do so, they were not forced. They were offered free will... Something foreign to you et your crown. The thought that people have the freedom of choice without the fear of death looming over your head. But, I can also see you turning that against me. "What about you Jeanne? Do you not threaten people with death if they do not turn away?" Oui, I do. But I put the fear in them to leave an unjust society of vile et power-mongering fools. They would realize that life among free peoples outside your crown's tyrannical rule is a life worth living for et striving for. Something you will surely never know.

Yes madame. To answer your question of if I am prepared to die. I would give all that I am to see your King's head on a spike, adorning my ship's hull. Oh, et the day will come. Your king will fall, whether by my hand or another. But I wish with all my heart that it is my hand to end your Crown. The Council, the Brigands, the Fallen Grace... all of which share my desire. You should compare them to me. For I do not see them with the knowledge I have gained, the whispers from your forces that sing like sweet music in my ears while they bed me. I have gained more in less time than most thought possible. I gained the power of knowledge. That, you ignorant imbécile, is something you should fear. Something you will fear. ...How is your brother by the way? I mean, the former director of ONI? Grins

Perhaps it is you who should fear kneeling at my feet. For when you do, you will realize your end is near. But, I assure you, it will be far from over.


Now, in response to Madame Landreau

You make me smile! For I would so love to meet you in the field of battle. There you will see what the power of the crown turned against you can bring. For it is not just the industrial prowess of the original Valor that I claimed for my own et converted, but it also is the will, determination, et vengeance that will guide my guns towards your bridge. The power of your crown is nothing compared to the power I will unleash upon you... Your crown may shine, but it will dwindle under the roar of the 'Lionness'...

Choose your time et place of death, et I will gladly offer you such

I have no brother. The man who shares my mother is dead, and shall stay dead.

She merely rolls her eyes.
I kneel for no one but Charles.

I wish I had known you sooner. I might have been able to tell your father you said goodbye before he died.

May you ever walk in the Light, Shizune.
