Miklotov:  "I understand why you might feel that some loose ends remain to be tied up, young Ferris, but I believe we shall proceed just as His Majesty said. All these events constituted a purely domestic matter within the empire. As such, I was told the royal delegation would be rewarded with appropriate recompense."

Ferris:  "Appropriate recompense… Does that mean we’re getting the nonaggression pact?" Asks the cat-boy, not looking much happier.

Miklotov:  Miklotov nodded silently.

Vincent:  Whereupon, he promptly agreed to the nonaggression pact they had requested. The bureaucratic formalities remained, of course, but with that, the objective of their envoy had been achieved.

Ferris:  “It just doesn’t quite sit right with me."

Bordeaux:  "Live with it. We might not like exactly how it happened, but we got what we wanted. Gotta call that a victory. We have our nonaggression pact, even if it does have a time limit. Just means we know exactly how long we have to get the kingdom back on track." Bordeaux replied, crossing his beefy arms. / His eyebrows were arched, and he seemed to be trying to convince himself as much as Ferris.

Julius:  Julius nodded at the frowns on Ferris’s and Bordeaux’s faces. He himself, though, was bothered by something slightly different than they were.

Reinhard:  "You look troubled, Julius." Reinhard said from beside him, as if the Sword Saint could see right through his friend.

Julius:  "I am. I don’t suppose I’d be very convincing if I tried to deny it. Truth be told, something still piques my interest in Volakia. Something, if I may say, I almost regret having left undone." Moved to look into his comrade’s eyes.
gpt
Reinhard:  "If there’s anything you regret, you should let us know. Given our position, I don’t think we’ll be coming back here with any regularity."

Julius:  However, the worries that remained in the man’s heart concerned none of these things.
gpt
Ferris:  "You have a regret, Julius? Ooh, what is it? Do you wish you could have tried riding on a sky dragon? Or gotten a better look at that weird red sword His Majesty had?"
human
Julius:  "Ferris, I am not a child…"
gpt
Ferris:  "So that stuff didn’t interest you at all?"
human
Julius:  “…Ahem. In any event, that was not what I had in mind." Realizing he was not likely to win this debate, Julius simply dismissed the demi-human’s interjection.
gpt
Julius:  "Lord Miklotov. Is it possible His Majesty himself was pulling the strings behind everything that happened on this trip?" Instead, he turned to Miklotov, sitting across from him and stroking his beard.
human
Miklotov:  The old counselor stopped stroking his beard at that.
