Ram:  But her reaction to the ring of those words was absolutely not a favorable one— “…Ram, what are you angry for?”
gpt
Ram:  “Certainly, a letter arrived from the royal capital. But it is useless to characterize that thing as written in goodwill.” Ram’s voice had little intonation, barely holding back the fires of a burning rage.

Ram:  When Subaru failed to understand the meaning of her emotion, Ram snorted as she spelled it out loud and clear. “When I think of the letter that pompous messenger arrived with… Calling a blank piece of paper a letter of goodwill is quite a farce. What did you mean by this, Barusu?”

Subaru:  “It was a blank piece of paper? !” It was Subaru who was horrified at learning the incomprehensible truth.

Ram:  Ram continued to glare at the bewildered Subaru, anger oozing from her eyes. “The wax was formally sealed with the Lion Rampant seal of the House of Karsten. In other words, Duchess Crusch Karsten was making a declaration of war against a rival candidate for the throne… Well, that is how we took it.”

Subaru:  “That’s crazy! Why would you decide it was that so fast…?” Subaru was drowning in Ram’s conclusion

Wilhelm:  Wilhelm intervened. “Sending a blank letter is a method of conveying to the other party, ‘We have no intent to negotiate.’ It cannot be helped that they took it in that manner.” The creases of his brow knotted, a stern face on him as he shook his head toward Subaru.

Wilhelm:  “As a matter of fact, were a white letter delivered to me, I would arrive at the same judgment as she: a display of hostile intent.”

Subaru:  “Then what happens if you seal a blank letter and send it by mistake?! If a war starts over that, what does history say—‘Oops’?”
gpt
Wilhelm:  “Then one could only set the heavy burden aside and give up. That said, I did not judge hostile intent by a single piece of paper, either. But there were multiple issues, so…”

Subaru:  “What do you mean, multiple issues…there’s even more? !” The bad report had been more than weighty enough. Yet, there was still more on top of that?

Ram:  “Two days ago, the forest around the mansion became unnaturally calm…to the point that even my eyes could catch nothing. Thereupon, an armed group appeared bearing the crest of the House of Karsten, which had declared war with the blank letter… Surely you cannot blame my little bird’s heart for being on the verge of breaking?”
human
Subaru:  “Ugeh…!” The sidelong glance Ram shot him put Subaru’s flea-size heart on the verge of breaking.

Subaru:  Though Wilhelm had a worried look on his face, Subaru raised a hand, feeling the desire to curse Fate for the nightmarish entangling of circumstances.
